Wang Ming was tall and burly, standing a full zhang tall, comparable to a demon king, but his physique was even more fearsome, like an iron pagoda straddling heaven and earth, causing everything to sink into stillness.
He said nothing, simply standing before Ye Chen, protecting him.
Ye Chen sighed softly, "Old friend, I've ended up using the trump card you gave me after all."
"It's fine. This is not something you can currently contend with. Once you recover everything, you will be invincible. So-called Saints are nothing more than those you can suppress with a wave of your hand," Wang Ming said.
"Wang Ming? No, this is merely a projection clone of his. He cannot possibly appear in the Domain War battlefield."
The Saint from Scarlet God Valley saw through the truth immediately. Although the Wang Ming before him was powerful, he was far inferior to a true Saint Lord-level powerhouse. At most, this was just a projection clone; it couldn't be his true self.
He was indeed correct. This was indeed Wang Ming's projection clone. Wang Ming was still far away in the Black Sky Plains, guarding Yaya's secluded cultivation and safety, unable to appear here.
However, the Black Sky Token he had given Ye Chen contained his combat imprint. Once Ye Chen encountered a crisis, he could activate it to fight in his stead.
"Hmph, if your true self came, this old man would indeed have no choice but to flee. But if it's just a projection clone, today I shall destroy your projection and teach you Eight Great Bandits of Black Sky a lesson."
The Scarlet God Valley Saint roared in anger. Scarlet God Valley had grievances with the Fourth Great Bandit. Even their king and a group of important figures including Demi-Saints had perished in the Black Sky Plains. Their enmity ran deep, almost to the point of being irreconcilable.
With a cold shout, a dazzling column of scarlet-gold light shot forth from above his head. Boundless power bloomed and spread—it was a scarlet-gold ancient mirror, a Saint weapon he had cultivated with his very life.
At this moment, the scarlet-gold ancient mirror fully awakened, gathering the power of the surrounding heaven and earth. Swathes of scarlet-gold Dao marks flowed and overflowed, inscribed with ancient patterns. Scarlet light surged to the heavens, shaking the firmament.
Boom—
As the ancient mirror shone, a brilliant column of scarlet-gold light immediately burst forth, its immortal radiance indestructible, sweeping over, capable of illuminating and shattering mountains and rivers for countless layers.
Rumble—
Wang Ming's projection clone's eyes shone like heavenly lanterns. He swung his spiked club to attack, sweeping across all directions, directly launching an assault.
With just this one strike, the scarlet-gold light shot from the ancient mirror shattered, utterly useless.
Immediately after, Wang Ming swung a second blow. Though it seemed plain and unadorned, the Scarlet God Valley Saint's face changed drastically in horror. Merging with the ancient mirror, swathes of hazy light screens shone forth, Saint might spreading, astonishing the world as he desperately tried to block.
For even someone as powerful as him felt the terrifying oppressive force brought by this strike.
This was a strike that returned to simplicity. It appeared simple and ordinary, yet was peerlessly terrifying, far surpassing previous attacks many times over, utterly unstoppable.
A deafening boom shook the entire Nine Heavens. The void collapsed, and the thick blood clouds scattered for thousands of li. Sunlight fell upon this blood-soaked land that had not seen the sun or moon for who knows how many years.
This vast Bloody Battlefield cracked the earth for who knows how many li. Even tens of thousands of li away, one could feel the terrifying fluctuations spreading from here.
Then Wang Ming unleashed a third strike. The spiked club swept across the heavens, as if a barbaric god had struck, crushing swathes of void and destroying everything.
Hum—
The ancient mirror wailed mournfully, its divine radiance dimming, actually developing a crack. Its master, the Scarlet God Valley Saint, was sent flying, drops of blood sparkling with brilliant divine radiance splashing through the air—that was the precious blood of a Saint, each drop containing vigorous vitality and life force.
If it were essence blood, it would even contain fragments of the Saint's great Dao laws.
"Even though it's just a projection clone, it's terrifyingly absurd."
The crowd sighed inwardly. The Fourth Great Bandit Wang Ming's cultivation was profound and his power peerless. He almost belonged to the king-level existence of the past generation, extremely powerful, able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the various Saint Lords of the world.
Though merely a projection clone, it was surprisingly powerful, capable of suppressing a Saint.
He was not manifesting his true body, only a projection clone. Yet at this moment, he was suppressing the old Saint from Scarlet God Valley, beating him until he continuously spilled blood.
"Our Lord is invincible!"
The three hundred Primordial War Cavalry watched, their blood boiling with excitement. This was their Lord, peerless and unrivaled, suppressing all under heaven.
Stirred by this, the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry's morale soared even higher. United as one, they were undefeatable and unstoppable. Even facing Scarlet God Valley's invincible army, the Scarlet God Army, was no exception—they directly pushed through, leaving a trail of flesh, blood, and bones in their wake.
Knights were annihilated, warships collapsed, ferocious beasts were torn apart, blood staining heaven and earth—it was completely one-sided.
This made people sigh with emotion. Ye Chen's side was too powerful and domineering. Whether it was top-tier powerhouses or the army, they were all so invincible, holding absolute superiority, currently sweeping through everything.
Only Ye Chen stood in the void, motionless, quietly observing the unfolding events.
Now, all this no longer required him, the protagonist, to take action. He could calmly watch these battles.
He stood in the void, like a Human King descending to the mortal world, his majesty peerless, making the young powerhouses watching from afar feel reverence and sigh from the bottom of their hearts, sensing his peerless invincibility. He would be an unshakable divine peak standing on the path of the Human Sovereign, impossible to climb or surpass.
The various powerhouses sighed with regret, but also felt excitement. Today, in a way, they were fortunate to witness the birth of an Immortal True King, to witness his invincible posture. Indeed, he swept through his generation without equal; several Young Kings who came forward were suppressed.
"Come out!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen let out a great roar that shook the void. His entire person shifted from stillness to motion, from complete immobility to fierce action—everything happened in an instant. That invincible fist had already been thrown.
Terrifying Dao mark laws intertwined on his fist, wrapped in a hazy divine radiance of the great Dao, sweeping toward the rear.
Boom—
A blinding divine brilliance bloomed—divine laws collided, and the sound of Dao weapons shattering rang out. A figure was forcibly shaken out from the void, scattering drops of blood. It was none other than one of the two remaining Commanders of the Four Domains Grand Army who had not been killed earlier.
He had wanted to ambush Ye Chen, but Ye Chen had detected him. All because Ye Chen's perception was simply too terrifying; everything was laid bare, discovered. Sensing his aura, Ye Chen struck, even shattering his Dao weapon.
That Commander coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. Many fragments of his shattered Dao weapon shot back into his own body, splashing high sprays of blood.
He was shocked, never expecting Ye Chen to have discovered him. But he also attacked, displaying his strongest abilities to assault Ye Chen.
It must be said, he was truly powerful. Among those who could detect such an ambush, only Ye Chen could do so. If it were any other King, it would be extremely difficult to detect, likely resulting in being slain on the spot, blood splattering everywhere.
Launching this life-risking assault on Ye Chen, the combat power of a super Divine Transformation was fully displayed. Even a King encountering it would be suppressed or even slain.
But unfortunately, he encountered Ye Chen, who stood in the invincible domain of the True King realm, with battle awareness that was peerlessly terrifying. Even standing in the Demigod realm, he could bridge the gap between major realms to engage in battle.
A great battle erupted, but Ye Chen did not want to delay. Activating the enhancement secret technique Battle God Seal, he directly underwent Extreme Sublimation in all aspects, standing in the Battle God state. His entire aura grew many times stronger, not the least bit inferior to a True King powerhouse in the Divine Transformation Realm. Immediately displaying his strongest methods, he shattered heaven and earth, suppressing his opponent.
In less than a dozen exchanges, he cleaved his opponent in two, blood splattering across heaven and earth. Moreover, using a secret technique, he locked onto the traces of the other Commander, sought him out, and launched a decisive kill.
Not long after, the two remaining Commanders were both pushed through and slain. The Four Domains Grand Army was thus completely annihilated, with no survivors.
This scene deeply shook the hearts of all the younger generation. The Great Demon King Yue had now achieved great momentum, possessing an invincible posture, fearless of everything. Even super Divine Transformation experts could be slain. The power and terror of an Immortal True King exceeded imagination, making them feel incomparable reverence.
Moreover, they all understood that one day, the Great Demon King Yue would inevitably tread the path of the Human Sovereign. If he continued to grow, he would surely ascend to the pinnacle. Those Immortal True Kings of past generations would all feel threatened, having this great enemy waiting for them.
At the same time, the Scarlet God Army suffered a great defeat. The three hundred Primordial War Cavalry, combined into a battle formation, their battle qi like a rainbow, undefeatable and unstoppable, pushed through.
On the ground, one fearsome primordial beast after another fell, blood flowing like rivers. This area was littered with corpses, with broken limbs and bodies everywhere.
The renowned Scarlet God Army had come with boundless imposing might, yet at this moment, they were routed and defeated in disarray, utterly unable to withstand the assault.
It wasn't that the Scarlet God Army wasn't strong enough. All this could only show that the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry were too powerful, truly worthy of being the legendary force that, when united, could rival a Saint Lord-level existence. The rumors were indeed true.
On another front, the Scarlet God Valley Saint fled in disarray, completely unable to match Wang Ming's projection clone. That projection clone contained Wang Ming's essence, energy, and spirit, hence it was sufficiently terrifying, completely suppressing his opponent in the great battle.
Such an outcome, when spread, caused a great stir across the various domains.
The Fourth Great Bandit Wang Ming's supreme army, the Primordial War Cavalry, had revealed their traces in the Domain War battlefield, solely to protect the Young King of Qingyang Domain.
And the Young King's true identity was the Great Demon King Yue who had once appeared in the Void Heaven Domain. The numerous powerhouses from various domains who went to surround and suppress him not only failed but were instead slaughtered to the last, including the Four Domains Grand Army. Even Scarlet God Valley's Scarlet God Army left a field of corpses, suffering a miserable defeat.
Four Kings were severely wounded, their kingly blood taken, their divine crowns seized, all contributing to the Great Demon King Yue.
But what was even more shocking was that a true Immortal True King had finally been born among the new generation, forceful and peerless, unmatched. Every young Talent present had the fortune to witness his invincible posture.
The name Yue, from this day forth, would completely resound throughout the myriad realms.
