This scene shook the heavens.
Many Supreme Ones were also shocked. The Battle Saint King was truly forceful, daring to subdue the Violet Firmament Immortal King's mount like this, which was tantamount to thoroughly provoking the Immortal King's majesty.
However, considering that the Violet Firmament Immortal King had attacked the Battle Saint King first, such behavior from the Battle Saint King was actually only to be expected.
Of course, this action before them could already be considered a complete tearing apart of all pretense.
"Very good."
Ye Chen looked down from a superior position, gazing upon the kneeling ancient beast Supreme One, standing with his hands behind his back as he swept his gaze over the eleven Supreme Ones in the starry expanse. His imposing might was so powerful that it left an indelible impression in the hearts of these Supreme Immortals and ancient Great Emperors. For a moment, even those who were hostile did not dare to step forward.
Because at this moment, he seemed invincible.
The Destiny Great Emperor watched from afar, his eyes evolving into Destiny Emperor Eyes as the Dao of Destiny was in flux, attempting to deduce Ye Chen's fate.
However, Ye Chen was a Chaos Quasi-Giant, fundamentally impossible to deduce.
Silently and without a trace, behind him appeared an ancient and mysterious portal, engraved with the most mysterious patterns, upon which were written imperial characters representing destiny.
This was the Gate of Destiny!
"Battle Saint King, I grow ever more curious. What, in the end, is your ultimate destiny?" the Destiny Great Emperor murmured, his gaze now appearing much more complex...
"What a bold Battle Saint King, truly audacious, to dare attack this seat's mount."
Within the Immortal King Ancient Realm, although the Violet Firmament Immortal King was currently engaged in battle with the Pan Dao Immortal King, he had also been paying attention to events outside. He never expected that his mount, a Supreme One, would also be forcefully pressed down to kneel in submission.
Especially the Battle Saint King, acting publicly—this was meant to disgrace his face. The Violet Firmament Immortal King, long accustomed to being domineering, could not accept this.
"Hmph, Battle Saint King, you will pay the price today."
The Violet Firmament Immortal King was incomparably forceful. Even while engaged in an Immortal King battle, he still forcibly extended half his body out from the Immortal King Ancient Realm. That unparalleled Immortal King imposing might instantly filled the thirty-three layers of the heavens.
A cold snort. As a peerless Immortal King, his magic power was boundless and infinite, overlooking the myriad ancient heavens. The strength of his power was simply unimaginable to the world.
Now, he suddenly made a move. Merely extending a single finger, the skin split open, from which a drop of Immortal King blood dripped down.
Just a single drop of Immortal King blood. Yet the instant it fell, countless grand Dao phenomena manifested—Immortal Kings descending upon the nine heavens, Emperors and Sovereigns perishing in the cosmos, Supreme Immortals falling in battle...
When the various Supreme Ones saw this, their eyes blazed with brilliant light, flashing with greed.
Because this was no ordinary Immortal King blood, but Immortal King Essence Blood. A single drop of Immortal King Essence Blood, how precious it was! The bloody radiance it emitted was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, instantly flooding an immeasurably vast expanse of the starry realm, covering the starry territory where Ye Chen stood.
At this moment, the world was terrified!
Amidst this fearsome display, the Violet Firmament Immortal King manifested an Immortal King's supreme divine ability. The Immortal King Essence Blood actually transformed into him, descending upon the starry realm. With a sweep of his great sleeve, an arm reached out, directly grabbing towards the starry expanse where Ye Chen was.
Boom—
The starry expanse exploded. Star domains shattered one after another, causing all races of the Immortal World to panic.
After many years, an Immortal King once again displayed supreme imposing might. This was not a restrained attack, but one nearly without reservation, terrifying beyond measure.
Ye Chen's expression was cold, yet he did not dare be careless. Even though this was merely a drop of Immortal King Essence Blood, it could briefly exhibit the Immortal King's supreme imposing might.
Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his essence, energy, and spirit to their peak state. The entire starry realm nearly exploded.
"Kill!"
A simple word, condensed with Ye Chen's martial will. The grand Dao simplified, he threw a punch, meeting the Immortal King Essence Blood incarnation head-on.
Boom—
A vast, boundless stretch of starry expanse was directly smashed into oblivion, permanently shattered into cosmic dust.
This was the imposing might of an Immortal King. With a single strike, all things perished, ceasing to exist.
In the starry realm, Ye Chen's figure was sent flying back, scattering drops of Chaos Saint Blood, the bloody light surging like a tide.
Clearly, he was at a disadvantage.
Within the Immortal King City, Qian Xun and the others, who had been taken away by Pan Dao Immortal King, were deeply worried. Their father, ever invincible, was actually at a disadvantage, his blood staining the starry sky.
The various Supreme Ones fell silent. As an Immortal King, his Dao attainment was unfathomably deep. Especially the Violet Firmament Immortal King, who had achieved the Immortal King fruit for who knew how many tens of thousands of years, counted as a powerful existence even among Immortal Kings. A single drop of his Essence Blood, manifested forth, was not something even a Quasi-Giant like the Battle Saint King—who could maintain an invincible, overwhelming posture against eleven Supreme Ones—could match. This spoke volumes.
Ye Chen stabilized his figure. Although there was blood on him, his injuries were not severe. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said coldly, "Is this the so-called strength of an Immortal King? Nothing more than this."
Indeed, he could sense that this Immortal King Essence Blood incarnation was indeed strong, but it did not possess the full imposing might of an Immortal King. It still belonged to the Quasi-Immortal King level, but likely at the Quasi-Immortal King limit, a notch stronger than his current self.
If Ye Chen, this Quasi-Giant, stood at the peak, one step away from the realm of the ancient titans.
Then the Violet Firmament Immortal King's Essence Blood incarnation was only a hair's breadth away.
The whole world was in an uproar. The Battle Saint King was fearlessly provoking the Violet Firmament Immortal King.
Yet, even after the Violet Firmament Immortal King's Essence Blood incarnation had emerged, it still failed to truly threaten the Battle Saint King. From this, it was evident that the Battle Saint King had something to rely on, acting without fear.
The Violet Firmament Immortal King's Essence Blood incarnation looked down from on high, gazing coldly at Ye Chen. "A mere junior, still daring to act recklessly. Do you truly believe this seat cannot deal with you?"
Roar—
The Immortal King's chariot arrived through the air, the multicolored ancient beast Supreme One drawing near beneath the Immortal King incarnation.
Then, the Immortal King Essence Blood incarnation stepped onto the Immortal King chariot. At this moment, the Immortal King chariot gave rise to infinite Immortal King runes, resonating. Consequently, the Immortal King Essence Blood incarnation blazed with boundless, immeasurable immortal light, the Immortal King imposing might upon it growing increasingly intense and powerful, as if the true body of a supreme Immortal King had descended.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. The combination of the Immortal King Essence Blood incarnation and the Immortal King chariot actually gave rise to a few threads of a sense of crisis within him. Clearly, it was extraordinary.
With a beckoning motion of both hands, he summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron, standing upon it. And at this moment, he activated a Chaos Boost Secret Method. Instantly, his aura climbed level by level, reaching its ultimate limit.
This was the absolute pinnacle of the Quasi-Giant level, with no further advancement possible, for it was separated from the true realm of the ancient titans by only a hair's breadth.
However, it was precisely this hair's breadth that was the greatest shackle. Since ancient times, who knew how many Quasi-Giants it had stymied from advancing further, unable to achieve a breakthrough.
Likewise, it was the same for Ye Chen.
He was already incomparably powerful, originally standing at the very apex of the Quasi-Giant state. Even after using a Boost Secret Method, he had merely progressed from a step's difference to a hair's breadth difference, nothing more.
One could imagine that if he wished to possess the Dao attainment of an ancient titan, he would likely need to prove his Dao and become an Emperor to achieve it.
However, for a Chaos cultivator to prove his Dao and become an Emperor, the possibility was infinitely close to zero.
The current Ye Chen was infinitely close to the ancient titan level. His imposing might was as grand as the rising sun, shaking the vast starry realm, almost like a peerless colossus rising, capable of overlooking the myriad ancient heavens.
"I wonder, after activating the Three Spirits Unification Secret Method, if I could advance a step further on this foundation, truly possessing the peerless, mighty power of an ancient titan?" Ye Chen mused silently in his heart.
This thought flashed by. Of course, there was no need to test it now.
"Today, I shall destroy this Essence Blood incarnation of yours!"
Ye Chen sneered coldly, striding forward, unleashing Chaos Dao techniques to forcefully clash with this Essence Blood incarnation, displaying the Dao techniques in full as he struck horizontally.
"Junior, this seat shall see just what ability you possess."
The Violet Firmament Immortal King's Essence Blood incarnation sat upon the Immortal King chariot, driving it forward to meet Ye Chen in a great collision.
During this period, it was as if two Immortal Kings were clashing. With every move, they smashed unknown vast territories of the starry expanse into oblivion. Great stars exploded one after another, permanently reduced to dust.
Even the Azure Feather Immortal and the other Supreme Ones who had originally targeted Ye Chen could not intervene now.
All of this was because the two were truly powerful to an absolute pinnacle level.
Within the Immortal King City, and across the various immortal domains of the Primordial Immortal World, ancient Sovereigns, Great Emperors, and Supreme Immortals gazed into the starry realm from afar. Witnessing the Battle Saint King forcefully battling the Violet Firmament Immortal King's Immortal King Essence Blood incarnation, not falling behind in the slightest, they were all profoundly shocked.
"The Battle Saint King is truly powerful, to be able to battle to this extent."
"Indeed, His Majesty the Violet Firmament Immortal King's Essence Blood incarnation might not be his match."
"At this moment, the strength of these two should be infinitely close to the Immortal King level!"
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred exchanges had passed.
In the end, the Violet Firmament Immortal King's Essence Blood incarnation was forcibly smashed apart by Ye Chen, exploding. Even the indestructible Immortal King chariot was smashed to pieces, broken into two segments.
As for the multicolored ancient beast Supreme One pulling the chariot, it was forcefully slain, its blood staining the starry expanse.
Ye Chen stood bathed in blood. Although some of it was his own, and his indestructible Chaos Saint Body was tattered and torn, with many places revealing bone deep within—a bloody price paid—more of it belonged to his opponent.
Reaching this point, he had truly displayed an imposing might invincible beneath the ancient titans, causing the various Quasi-Immortal Kings observing from the Primordial Immortal World to feel a chill.
Even if he had used a Boost Secret Method to reach this step, it still proved the fearsomeness of the Battle Saint King, absolutely surpassing ordinary Quasi-Giants.
Ye Chen gasped for breath, drawing upon the various bloody lights within the starry realm, slowly condensing them before him into a drop of Essence Blood and a mass of Supreme One flesh.
The Essence Blood belonged to the Violet Firmament Immortal King. The will contained within had been shattered by him, though of course, over half of the Immortal King power within the Essence Blood had also dissipated.
The Supreme One flesh naturally belonged to the Supreme One-level chariot-pulling beast.
Only at this moment did he truly witness the fearsomeness of an Immortal King.
Merely an Immortal King incarnation derived from a single drop of Essence Blood, combined with the Immortal King chariot, could possess such formidable power. It was unimaginable. In a true confrontation, Ye Chen felt he might not even be able to challenge the Violet Firmament Immortal King. The gap between them was too vast.
