"Qingyu Immortal is being pushed to the brink! He's about to unleash a Forbidden Divine Ability to fight the Battle Saint King with his life on the line!"
"Once a Forbidden Divine Ability is unleashed, it can threaten even a Quasi-Giant."
"Huh? Why does it feel like Qingyu Immortal's Forbidden Divine Ability is somewhat weak? What's going on?"
The various Supreme Ones watching from afar exclaimed in surprise, clearly sensing that the Forbidden Divine Ability Qingyu Immortal was executing at this moment did not match the imagined forbidden power capable of burying immortals, extinguishing emperors, and slaying sovereigns. It seemed somewhat feeble.
"Is this the strongest state of a Supreme Immortal unleashing a Forbidden Divine Ability? Compared to when Poluo Great Emperor executed his Forbidden Divine Ability, this seems weaker."
Ye Chen frowned, but at this moment, his fifth strike had already descended!
Boom—
At this moment, the Chaos Saint Fist fell, yet it crushed and obliterated Qingyu Immortal's strongest state of the Forbidden Divine Ability like rotten wood. That forbidden power, hailed as capable of burying immortals, was easily dismantled before Ye Chen's peerless fist.
Pfft—
The Chaos Saint Fist pierced through the blazing layers of immortal light, penetrating Qingyu Immortal's indestructible immortal body. The most violent chaos power tore through everything, giving Qingyu Immortal no chance to retaliate. Even his immortal body could not withstand it, instantly shattering into pieces.
Boom—
The most ferocious and domineering chaos force swept past, directly incinerating everything of Qingyu Immortal to nothingness. A renowned Supreme Immortal was thus erased from the mortal realm.
The entire world was shaken!
Immortal Slaughter!
The invincible Battle Saint King had slaughtered a Supreme Immortal today!
The Supreme Ones from all sides were also deeply shaken. They witnessed the Battle Saint King standing with his hands behind his back the entire time, using only a single fist from beginning to end, yet a Supreme Immortal from the Primordial Immortal Realm was killed just like that—crushed like rotten wood, suppressed with absolute, peerless dominance.
One must know, that was a Supreme Immortal in no way inferior to them.
Even a Quasi-Giant shouldn't be this terrifying.
Had the Battle Saint King become a Giant of All Ages?
The Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens shuddered. If so, they all felt a tremor of fear.
Ye Chen reached out, grasping at the void. The fragments of the Supreme Immortal Armor, which had already been torn and shattered, now reassembled. Though covered in dense cracks still clearly visible, this was the Supreme Immortal Armor that belonged to Qingyu Immortal.
His divine sense probed into the Supreme Immortal Armor, inspected it for a moment, then withdrew, revealing a trace of cold smile.
So that was it. No wonder it was so weak.
At this time, among the Supreme Ones watching from afar—Shen Kong Great Emperor was naturally among them—having witnessed Ye Chen's attack just now, one Supreme One couldn't help but ask, "Great Emperor Shen Kong, has the Battle Saint King become a Giant of All Ages?"
Shen Kong Great Emperor shook his head. "No, he is not yet."
The Supreme Ones from all sides were stunned, unable to comprehend. Even if the Battle Saint King, still a Quasi-Giant, far surpassed Qingyu Immortal, he shouldn't be this overwhelmingly strong, to the point of complete, crushing superiority.
Naturally understanding their confusion, Shen Kong Great Emperor spoke calmly, "The Battle Saint King is indeed powerful, and has reached a very high level. But the reason he could kill Qingyu Immortal so quickly this time is because this was not the real Qingyu Immortal."
"Not the real Qingyu Immortal?"
The Supreme Ones from all sides were rather puzzled.
"An immortal avatar," Shen Kong Great Emperor said succinctly.
Only then did the Supreme Ones understand. Thinking back now, it made sense. No matter how weak Qingyu Immortal was, he shouldn't have been so utterly crushed and killed by the Battle Saint King in just six moves, especially the final strike that completely annihilated Qingyu Immortal who had unleashed a Forbidden Divine Ability, destroying both form and spirit, leaving nothing behind.
Even the three Quasi-Giants—War Sovereign, Shen Kong Great Emperor, and Golden Crow Great Emperor—would find it difficult to achieve this. Unless they condensed their ultimate combat power from hundreds of exchanges into these few moves, they likewise could not accomplish it.
Clearly, Qingyu Immortal's true body was not present. An immortal avatar had descended, but shielded by the Supreme Immortal Armor, no one knew it wasn't his true self.
Moreover, with the aid of the Supreme Immortal Armor, this immortal avatar could unleash combat power at the peak level of a Great Perfection Supreme One for a short time.
Unfortunately, he had to provoke the most domineering and forceful Battle Saint King. One couldn't help but say it was Qingyu Immortal's tragedy.
...
Primordial Immortal Realm.
Qingyu Immortal Domain.
This was the boundless immortal domain ruled by Qingyu Immortal, one of the immortal domains subordinate to the Zixiao Immortal Domain, immensely vast and endless.
On this day, within Qingyu Immortal Palace, a great roar erupted, blasting apart who knew how many suns, moons, and stars.
Supreme immortal might erupted, shaking the entire Qingyu Immortal Domain. Winds and clouds changed color, and experts from all sides paled at the news.
Why was Qingyu Immortal so furious?
What had happened?
Qingyu Immortal Palace was already in ruins. Countless palace experts had been caught in the crossfire and died. Numerous experts from the Qingyu Immortal Domain and Qingyu Immortal Clan soared into the sky, looking fearfully at the sole central immortal hall that remained standing.
Only Qingyu Immortal stood alone, disheveled, his immortal crown cracked, devoid of his usual Supreme Immortal dignity. His face was filled with rage: "Battle Saint King, this immortal swears to fight you to the death!"
Boom—
He left the Qingyu Immortal Domain, heading for the Zixiao Immortal Domain to report to the Zixiao Immortal King and seek justice for himself!
A mere person from a broken ancient chaos universe dared to offend his superior? This was a suicidal act that could not be lightly forgiven under any circumstances.
...
Pangu Universe.
Chaos Heavenly Mansion.
"I am about to enter seclusion. It may require a very long time. If any important major events occur, call for me directly. I will emerge from seclusion at once!"
After killing Qingyu Immortal's immortal avatar, Ye Chen retrieved the tattered Supreme Immortal Armor and returned, entering his exclusive chaos grotto.
This grotto was specially crafted by him over the past several millennia, filled with infinite chaos essence. He had relocated one of the few remaining chaos pure lands left after Pangu Universe's creation, pierced through the Heavenly Dao Sun, and inscribed the most profound chaos runes.
Over the millennia, he appeared to be in the main hall of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion often, but in reality, he spent more time cultivating in the chaos grotto, comprehending ever deeper mysteries of the Chaos Great Dao.
Within the chaos grotto.
Chaos Origin Fire flowed between Ye Chen's fingers and palms. By now, this strongest Chaos Origin Fire could be used at will, no longer requiring the refinement and incineration of chaos true blood as in the past to manifest.
He was now re-refining this set of Supreme Immortal Armor. After all, it was a rare Supreme One-level immortal armor, hard to find in the world.
Traditionally, Supreme One weapons were mostly of the offensive type, with very few being armor like this.
Of course, the rarest were still those of the soul type.
They could be considered the most precious.
The soul, regardless of one's cultivation level, was always the most important.
However, Ye Chen had never seen a soul-type Supreme One weapon either. They were the kind one could encounter but not seek.
Now, he was re-refining the Supreme Immortal Armor, his goal being its defensive capabilities.
It was only him—a Quasi-Giant, and a physique-refining supreme expert known for his ferocity—who could do this. Otherwise, Quasi-Giants like Shen Kong Great Emperor and Golden Crow Great Emperor would need slightly more time to shatter the Supreme Immortal Armor, not so easily.
Of course, this didn't mean Golden Crow Great Emperor and Shen Kong Great Emperor were necessarily weaker than Ye Chen. Different specialties. In the realm of physique-refining, Ye Chen was arguably second only to Giants of physique-refining like the Battle Saint Ancestor and the Heaven-Defying War Sovereign. Even War Sovereign was likely on par with him.
A Supreme Immortal Armor capable of both offense and defense had little effect on him. But for those around him, even if a great crisis arose, as long as they wore it, even an Eternal Emperor like Tai Chu Emperor Lord could ignore attacks, let alone attack a Great Perfection Supreme One.
Ye Chen began the refinement. The Chaos Origin Fire blazed. Naturally, the Supreme Immortal Armor could not withstand it, and before long, signs of melting appeared.
Within the armor, a deity resembling Qingyu Immortal screamed in agony, unable to endure.
Originally, when the armor was shattered, the armor deity had been severely wounded. Now, with the re-refinement, it was even worse.
Over time, being refined and incinerated by the Chaos Origin Fire, even a deity at the immortal level would be utterly refined.
"Great One, please spare me!"
However, Ye Chen turned a deaf ear, ignoring the deity's agonized screams and pleas, his expression utterly cold. In the end, he completely dissolved this deity.
Similarly, he also completely erased the immortal Dao Imprint belonging to Qingyu Immortal within the Supreme Immortal Armor.
Otherwise, if he re-refined it, it might one day return to Qingyu Immortal's hands due to the deity's influence.
It was only someone as domineering and ruthless as him. If it were other Ancient Sovereigns, Great Emperors, or Supreme Immortals, they would not easily dissolve a weapon deity, because losing the weapon deity would cause even a Supreme One immortal weapon's power to drop significantly.
"This immortal armor's defensive power is passable, but ultimately insufficient against a Quasi-Giant. If one day I am not here, and the myriad heavens are shattered, with Supreme Ones rising in chaos, a Supreme One immortal armor would be utterly inadequate for protection. Stronger armor is needed."
Ye Chen murmured to himself. With his great vision, he naturally wasn't limited to refining the armor only to the Supreme One level, but to something stronger.
As a Quasi-Giant who had even slain an Ancient Great Emperor and obtained the legacies of multiple Supreme Ones, Ye Chen's personal treasury was naturally immensely rich, not lacking in Supreme One-exclusive divine materials.
Now, he directly took out various supreme immortal materials from his treasury—materials that would make even Supreme Ones covetous and excited—such as Chaos Immortal Gold, World Stone, Chaos Heaven Stone, and so on. He dissolved them into the mix, proceeding with re-refinement and repair.
This refinement took a full three months. But under the "one year inside the grotto, one day in the world" 365-fold time acceleration domain Yaya had set up, over a hundred years had passed.
The time consumed was unprecedented, but a brand-new immortal armor emerged, gleaming.
At this point, perhaps it could no longer be called simply an immortal armor, but a Chaos Immortal Armor. It contained not only the numerous immortal Dao runes, Supreme One immortal principles, and immortal Dao Imprints from Qingyu Immortal's original armor, but also the Chaos Monarch rules, chaos runes, and Chaos Great Dao Imprints personally added by Ye Chen.
Over a hundred years, two different sets of rules, runes, and imprints were completely fused together. Moreover, with a large amount of priceless Supreme One-level immortal materials melted into it, its level was half a rank higher than the original immortal armor.
To a certain extent, it could be called a Quasi-Giant-level immortal armor!
