Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, a trace of mockery in his expression. "You're not planning to run anymore? Or do you wish to fight me at our peak!"
"I know I'm no match for you, and I cannot escape your grasp," Destiny Great Emperor replied, knowing full well he could not flee. His expression was exceptionally complex as he looked at Ye Chen, yet his gaze burned intensely. "But even so, I still wish to fight you at our peak, to see just how great the gap is between an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant and a colossus from antiquity who ascended by breaking through that very realm!"
He knew he had no way out. He could not even send a message to the Alien Ancient Universe to seek rescue from other alien Supreme Giants, for the Desolate Realm was completely sealed off by the ten colossal Sealing Gates.
Now, he was approaching death.
Destiny Great Emperor did not wish to fade away in obscurity. Instead, he hoped to fight a peak battle against the Chaos Giant who had once been an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant like himself before breaking through. Even if this battle was likely to be nothing but a joke, he still wished to fight.
Moreover, he harbored another grand ambition.
Since Ye Chen was a Supreme Chaos Giant who had ascended by breaking through the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant stage, could fighting him at his peak trigger a sliver of opportunity, allowing him to also break through and become a Supreme Giant?
Ye Chen saw through his ambition and revealed a faint smile. "I know your goal—to fight me and break through to ascend. Very well, I'll give you this chance. I hope you won't disappoint me."
With a flick of his finger, he even released his suppression on the Judgment Spear, allowing it to return to Destiny Great Emperor's hand.
Boom—
The Judgment Spear instantly erupted with majestic power, resonating with the Gate of Destiny, making it appear increasingly terrifying and peerless.
All the powerhouses on both sides sighed. Destiny Great Emperor was no ordinary Quasi-Giant; his pride and talent were no less than that of a true colossus from antiquity. Usually unable to break through, now, facing certain doom, he intended to reverse the situation, hoping to use the Battle Saint King's hand to undergo an ultimate transformation, completely break through, and also transform into a Supreme Giant overlooking all eternity!
What a mindset this was.
"Make your move," Ye Chen yielded the first strike. He also wanted to see how far this Destiny Great Emperor, also an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant, could go.
Moreover, tens of thousands of years ago, Destiny Great Emperor had taken action, killing the Celestial Race Quasi-Giant Xiu Gusi and seizing his Quasi-Giant essence. Ye Chen also wanted to know if his cultivation had advanced further.
"Behold my strike!"
Destiny Great Emperor spoke. Behind him, the Gate of Destiny trembled, descending billions of divine chains of order, all formed from the supreme divine chains of Destiny Emperor Dao rules. They encircled his body, ultimately transforming into an extraordinary Destiny Emperor Armor that clung to his form, capable of greatly amplifying his combat power.
Simultaneously, countless divine chains of Destiny Emperor Dao extended onto the Judgment Spear. The dark black war spear manifested mysterious and profound trajectories of fate, resonating with each other, ringing sharply, its edge astonishing.
"Battle Saint King, you are correct. For this final battle, I do indeed hope to transcend by borrowing your hand, to comprehend your power and break through to ascend!"
As his words fell, Destiny Great Emperor thrust the Judgment Spear forward. Judgment Power and Destiny Power bloomed, their radiance illuminating the mortal world.
Among them, the Dao of Destiny manifested, billions of world-heavens appearing like the myriad realms of the cosmos, swirling around him, setting him off as if he were the master of all realms.
It must be said that facing Ye Chen, Destiny Great Emperor dared not hold back in the slightest. He displayed his peak combat power to the fullest—the world-shaking combat power of an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant capable of striking against colossi from antiquity. His entire body erupted with infinite brilliance, even his hair tinged with a special radiance.
At this moment, his aura climbed to its absolute peak, as if he had completely shattered the shackles of the Extreme Realm, truly broken through, and become a Supreme Giant.
"Not good! Destiny Great Emperor has broken through and become a Supreme Giant!"
Qian Xun and the others all changed expressions. Earlier, Destiny Great Emperor had been manageable; although an Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant could strike against colossi from antiquity, he was still far inferior to Ye Chen, who was at the level of a Primordial Giant. Ye Chen could truly kill him.
But now, Destiny Great Emperor had actually broken through, becoming a Supreme Giant. Even if currently inferior to Ye Chen, as someone who had broken through from the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant stage, given enough time, he would become another terrifying enemy—a Primordial Giant-level powerhouse—posing a great threat to the Pangu Universe.
On the other side, Silver Moon Emperor and Void Heaven Ancient Emperor, though suppressed by Ye Chen's Chaos Halo, now had eyes gleaming with brilliance, filled with hope. They exclaimed in shock, "He actually became a colossus from antiquity! He's only lacking the tribulation, but his strength is no less than one now!"
Everyone was astonished. At the critical moment, Destiny Great Emperor had actually broken through on the battlefield, becoming a Supreme Giant.
The Judgment Spear thrust out. This strike was terrifyingly powerful, an attack at the level of a colossus from antiquity, capable of piercing through all eternity, making all living beings and heroes tremble with fear.
Boom—
The Desolate Realm itself trembled. The ten colossal Sealing Gates also shook incessantly, theirblockade (blockade/seal) andrestrained almost pierced through.
Myriad Daos crumbled, space-time disintegrated. Destiny Great Emperor displayed his supreme, invincible aspect. His combat power at the level of a colossus from antiquity was displayed without reservation. Although many did not understand how he had managed to break through and ascend to become a Supreme Giant, it did not hinder their shock at his fearsome combat power.
Boom—
The Desolate Realm trembled. A collision at the level of colossi from antiquity was imminent.
Boom—
Space-time shattered, everything turned to void. Terrible beams of destruction spread in all directions but were suppressed within a certain area; otherwise, none present could have withstood it.
The next moment, everything vanished. Destiny Great Emperor's figure had come swiftly but retreated even faster, imperial blood spraying from his body.
His supreme strike had been blocked, and moreover, he had been repelled by Ye Chen.
But Destiny Great Emperor did not give up. He continued to attack, displaying peak combat power at the level of a colossus from antiquity, striking against the nine heavens, shaking the cosmos as he charged at Ye Chen once more.
"It's useless."
Ye Chen shook his head, swinging his Chaos Saint Fist—a peerless, unrivaled fist of eternity that struck against the river of time, tore through the myriad Daos, making even the various Heavenly Venerables and Quasi-Giants tremble in their imperial souls upon sensing it.
Boom—
As fist and Judgment Spear collided, sparks flew, each point no less than a great star, scattering in all directions, igniting the Chaos Sea. It was truly incomparably terrifying.
Unfortunately, compared to Ye Chen, he was still far inferior. During the duel, the Judgment Spear trembled incessantly, cracks appearing. Moreover, Destiny Great Emperor coughed up blood continuously from the corner of his mouth, and his Destiny Emperor Armor also trembled and cracked.
His realm aura halted, about to be severed, causing him to fall back down.
"Destiny Great Emperor is strong, but he is ultimately not a true colossus from antiquity!"
"Indeed. He merely borrowed a supreme secret art to temporarily break into the domain of colossi from antiquity. But in truth, he does not count as one."
"Moreover, the Battle Saint King is too powerful. Breaking through from the Extreme Realm Quasi-Giant stage, he is at the Primordial Giant level. Even an ordinary colossus from antiquity would be in danger facing him, let alone Destiny Great Emperor who temporarily stepped into that realm. He is in peril!"
"Today, Destiny Great Emperor will likely fall here!"
Everyone sighed.
