Ye Chen's sudden appearance left Haotian Quasi-Immortal King utterly astonished.
He knew these Immortal Passes couldn't possibly stop Ye Chen, but he hadn't expected them to be breached so quickly.
It was simply too fast.
Compared to him, Ye Chen was only slower by a mere quarter of an hour.
If Haotian Quasi-Immortal King knew that Ye Chen had even paused briefly along the way, he would have been even more shocked.
How could the first thirty Immortal Passes possibly hinder Ye Chen?
Even the ten passes corresponding to the Supreme One realm, as if ten Supreme Ones were blocking his path, were swept aside by his peerless offensive power.
Appearing before Haotian Quasi-Immortal King, Ye Chen's chaotic light surged with overwhelming brilliance.
Before the thirty-first Immortal Pass, it wasn't just Haotian Quasi-Immortal King alone; there were two other Quasi-Immortal Kings, both renowned peerless Quasi-Immortal Kings of the Primordial Immortal World, possessing the potential to ascend to Immortal Kinghood.
Ye Chen's arrival startled them as well.
Of course, it was also because Haotian Quasi-Immortal King had sent a message, summoning the two Quasi-Immortal Kings.
"So young!"
The two Quasi-Immortal Kings naturally sensed the vast youthful vitality contained within Ye Chen's blood energy—he was someone not exceeding a hundred thousand years old. Such a young Quasi-Giant could absolutely be called rare throughout all ages, leaving them utterly amazed.
After all, they had attained immortality and become immortals for over two Era Epochs.
Haotian Quasi-Immortal King was considered the youngest among the three of them, yet now an even younger Quasi-Giant had arrived.
However, they could sense that the Dao he cultivated was not the Immortal Dao; he was likely a Quasi-Giant from another Chaos Ancient Universe outside the Primordial Immortal World.
"Fellow Daoist!"
The two Quasi-Immortal Kings clasped their hands in salute. Ye Chen returned the gesture. "Two Fellow Daoists!"
"This is Fellow Daoist Battle Saint King, from the Pangu Universe. This is Fellow Daoist Nangong Quasi-Immortal King, and this is Fellow Daoist Beiming Quasi-Immortal King." Haotian Quasi-Immortal King introduced Ye Chen to the two Quasi-Immortal Kings.
Pangu Universe!?
The two Quasi-Immortal Kings were astonished. They naturally knew of the Pangu Universe, but never expected that such a dilapidated and declining Chaos Ancient Universe could produce such a young Quasi-Giant.
Ye Chen looked at Haotian Quasi-Immortal King. "Which pass have you reached?"
Haotian Quasi-Immortal King smiled. "The thirty-fourth pass."
His plain words carried a hint of pride.
The thirty-fourth pass belonged to the mid-tier among Quasi-Giants.
Of course, this wasn't his limit; it was a record from many tens of thousands of years ago. No one knew which pass he could reach now.
However, he was very curious to know which Immortal Pass this monstrous genius who had reached Quasi-Giant in just six thousand years could breach.
"Good."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. Monarchs, Emperors, Supreme Ones, and Quasi-Giants each had ten Immortal Passes.
The more passes one breached, the higher their strength.
Of course, for realms like Emperor, Supreme One, and Quasi-Giant, there were no clear-cut boundaries. Especially for Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants—unlike Emperors who had the monstrous existence of Eternal Monarchs—the differences between them weren't very large.
Therefore, for the ten passes of the Supreme One and Quasi-Giant realms, the gaps between them were minimal. Often, the actual difference might be just ten to twenty percent, or even a hair's breadth—nothing more.
Ye Chen stepped forward. At this moment, the imposing might of his Chaos Eternal Monarch erupted to its peak.
Boom—
Heaven and earth shook violently. Even though separated by layer upon layer of grand Immortal Passes, the first thirty passes could still feel this boundless, universe-rending power.
Even the passes further back were affected by this overwhelming might for who knew how many layers.
"Break!"
With a single uttered word!
Ye Chen instantly condensed into a beam of chaotic light, charging toward the thirty-first Immortal Pass corresponding to Quasi-Giants.
Boom—
A single fist strike, coalescing his essence, energy, and spirit into one, slammed against the thirty-first Immortal Pass—denser with immortal patterns and more indestructible than even the Immortal Heavenly Pass. Chaos Dao Power erupted fully, infinite chaotic light soaring skyward.
Boom—
A deafening roar. The thirty-first Immortal Pass, capable of blocking the strongest Supreme One, saw its immortal patterns erased by the Chaos Saint Fist. The fist intent shook the mortal world, pulverizing everything, blasting open the Immortal Pass.
Ye Chen's momentum didn't wane. The aura around him had condensed to its utmost level. He swung the Chaos Saint Fist once more, striking the thirty-second Immortal Pass.
The lofty, seemingly insurmountable thirty-second Immortal Pass shook violently, teetering on the brink, before finally being blasted open after a short while.
Ye Chen arrived with overwhelming force, continuing to smash open the thirty-third Immortal Pass.
The thirty-third Immortal Pass was even more indestructible than the previous two, containing more intense Quasi-Immortal King-level immortal patterns that intertwined with heaven and earth, manifesting Quasi-Immortal King Great Dao to reinforce the pass's defenses.
But who was Ye Chen?
A peerless monstrous genius of the Battle Saint lineage, master of the strongest offensive power, also a Chaos Controller, the invincible strongest Eternal Monarch.
The might of his Chaos Saint Body could also suppress all Quasi-Giants and Quasi-Immortal Kings across the mortal world.
After becoming an Eternal Monarch, four thousand years of seclusion, four thousand years of deep cultivation, four thousand years of comprehending the Dao, four thousand years of perceiving the 'Ultimate Supreme' immortal opportunity—his Dao attainment was unfathomably deep. Who in the mortal world knew his true depths?
No one!
Not even Cangxiong Great Heavenly Venerate.
They only knew that this Battle Saint King, merely at the Monarch realm, possessed strength that likely surpassed even ordinary Quasi-Giants.
Now, before the three Quasi-Immortal Kings, Ye Chen dramatically displayed the results of his four thousand years of cultivation.
Chaos surged skyward, manifesting ten thousand Daos, ten thousand realms, ten thousand spirits, all returning to their origin.
The strongest offensive power was revealed.
Boom—
Moments later, the immortal light of the thirty-third Immortal Pass dimmed. Under Ye Chen's terrifying assault, it ultimately couldn't withstand and was blasted open, a massive breach pierced through.
Before him stood the even more magnificent thirty-fourth Immortal Pass, radiating even more brilliant immortal patterns, even more indestructible and imperishable.
But how could it stop the world-invincible Battle Saint King!
Ye Chen's fighting spirit was rising steadily. Facing the location of the thirty-fourth Immortal Pass where Haotian Quasi-Immortal King stood, separated from him by just one Immortal Pass.
"Break!"
Still just a single word. Ye Chen unleashed Chaos Dao Techniques, sweeping forward, infinite Quasi-Giant-level power descending in full force.
Within just a few short breaths, it was pounded into continuous trembling, cracking open a massive fissure like the gate of a heavenly pass swinging ajar.
A single step forward would allow him to cross over, reaching Haotian Quasi-Immortal King's level.
However, Ye Chen disdained such a shortcut.
"Fall!"
With a great shout, he fiercely kicked out.
Boom—
The lofty, towering Immortal Pass directly collapsed a large section, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles and more.
Dust billowed, shaking the 'Forty-Nine Immortal Passes' secret realm.
Ye Chen, resembling a peerless divine demon not seen in ages, chaotic light rolling, ten thousand Daos surging toward him.
When he arrived beyond the thirty-fourth Immortal Pass, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Haotian Quasi-Immortal King who waited there.
Nangong and Beiming, the two Quasi-Immortal Kings, were also here.
All were exclaiming in amazement. This young Quasi-Giant was truly unimaginably strong, arriving here so swiftly.
"Shall we breach?" Haotian Quasi-Immortal King spoke.
"Breach!"
"Breach!"
"Breach!"
Ye Chen, Nangong, and Beiming shouted together. The imposing might condensed from their essence, energy, and spirit instantly soared, nearly overshadowing the entire 'Forty-Nine Immortal Passes' secret realm—at the very least, the first thirty-four passes could sense it. Whether the passes further back could perceive it was unknown.
The four Quasi-Giants positioned themselves at the four directions of the thirty-fifth Immortal Pass, separated by far more than hundreds of millions of miles.
Each person seemed separated by a layer of heaven!
The four of them simultaneously breached the Immortal Pass.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The four Quasi-Giants displayed power invincible in the mortal world, simultaneously assaulting the pass.
Their Quasi-Giant-level cultivation was revealed without reserve.
In the vast mortal world, how many could reach this realm?
Terrifying, peerless offensive power continuously fell. The thirty-fifth Immortal Pass gradually showed signs of collapse.
Thus, after several quarter-hours, almost simultaneously, the four blasted open the Immortal Pass, breaching it together.
Nangong and Beiming Quasi-Immortal Kings looked at Ye Chen, endlessly amazed.
They had been Quasi-Immortal Kings for over two Era Epochs; Haotian Quasi-Immortal King for half an Era Epoch. Yet how many years had Ye Chen cultivated? And he could do the same.
Breach again!
The four continuously breached the Immortal Passes.
At this point, Ye Chen threw punch after punch, constantly striking the Immortal Passes. Even more, ten thousand variations of Chaos Dao Techniques were displayed, pouring forth. Under such a terrifying, frenzied offensive, even a peak expert who had just stepped into Quasi-Giant would be utterly severely wounded.
Yet the thirty-sixth Immortal Pass merely appeared to teeter on the brink, infinite immortal light and secret patterns intertwining to resist all manner of destructive forces.
The same was true for Nangong, Beiming, and Haotian, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings.
"Heaven-Shattering!"
"Void!"
"Ten Thousand Realms!"
"Universe!"
Four Chaos Styles were simultaneously displayed, along with the Four Extremities Connecting to Sainthood Style, evolving the four mythical holy beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise—their supreme power erupting to the utmost limit of the mortal world.
Boom—
Moments later, Ye Chen was the first to blast open the Immortal Pass, entering the next one.
His momentum undiminished, he continued his assault.
At this point, all the peerless divine abilities he had learned in his lifetime—whether Emperor Arts or Immortal Arts, or even Supreme Forbidden Divine Abilities—were all displayed, annihilating all directions, striking the thirty-seventh Immortal Pass.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
By the time Haotian, Nangong, and Beiming, the three Quasi-Immortal Kings, finally shattered the thirty-sixth Immortal Pass, they were horrified to see that Ye Chen had already blasted open the thirty-seventh Immortal Pass and was heading toward the location of the thirty-eighth Immortal Pass.
The three looked at each other, all shuddering.
Just how strong was Ye Chen!?
After all, they were now exhausted, utterly incapable of assaulting the next pass.
Yet, clearly visible, Ye Chen was at the peak of his momentum, his imposing might even surpassing theirs.
Haotian Quasi-Immortal King was the most appalled.
Because he was the only one among the three who knew that Ye Chen had cultivated for just over six thousand years—his age wasn't even a fraction of any of theirs—yet the strength he displayed was even greater.
How could such a monstrous genius be born in the mortal world?
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—
After the thirty-seventh Immortal Pass was restored by mysterious power, Ye Chen attacked with nearly full force, frenziedly striking the thirty-eighth Immortal Pass.
At this step, he too felt some exhaustion, because the indestructible nature of the thirty-eighth Immortal Pass was a whole level above the thirty-seventh. Powerful as he was, after expending a full half-day, he had only barely made it teeter on the brink.
Stop here?
Ye Chen sneered.
Strongest Forbidden Divine Ability—
Universe Creation!
