Half an hour later, bloody radiance surged, flooding the entire ancestral secret realm.
The Sacred Heavenly Realm exploded once more as the Second Progenitor suffered heavy injuries, cleaved in two by Ye Chen's Heaven-Withering Great Halberd.
Moreover, the Chaos Great Cauldron descended from the sky, smashing half of the Third Progenitor's body into bloody mist.
At this moment, he domineeringly trampled upon the two progenitors of the Heavenly Race as he fought.
All the heroes of the Heavenly Race watched with their scalps tingling in fear.
Suo Tianzun was filled with intense regret.
If not for him, how could the Heavenly Race have provoked a peerless, ferocious deity like the Battle Saint King?
Alas, regret was useless now.
"So strong, far stronger than imagined!"
The Second and Third Progenitors exchanged a glance, profound shock evident in each other's eyes.
Too strong. This Battle Saint King was far more powerful than they had imagined, practically invincible.
The two of them joining forces, both being of the Heavenly Race with the same bloodline and having cooperated for multiple epochs, meant their combined strength was no simple one-plus-one. Yet even so, they were no match for Ye Chen. On the contrary, they were being suppressed and beaten back. It was simply unbelievable.
However, how could they know that in the past, Ye Chen alone had suppressed three colossi from antiquity of the alien race, and in the end, had even slain a Primordial Giant like the Hongtian Dominator, reducing him to dust. How absolutely ferocious was that?
No matter how strong they were, how could they compare to the alien race?
"Fellow Daoist, please stop!"
Suddenly, the First Progenitor was also stirred, appearing on the battlefield. He clashed head-on with Ye Chen in a single strike, halting the fight.
However, the First Progenitor's figure swayed and exploded with a boom. It was clearly not his true body, but a will of antiquity.
From behind, Weier and the others were greatly shocked. They were well aware of Ye Chen's strength—even the two colossi from antiquity, the Second and Third Progenitors of the Heavenly Race, could only be suppressed. Yet a single will of antiquity from the First Progenitor had emerged and managed to block Ye Chen, even if only for one strike. That was already extremely remarkable.
Ye Chen smiled. "Somewhat interesting. I didn't expect the Heavenly Race to be hiding such a peerless powerhouse. Come out."
Silently, a majestic figure appeared on the battlefield. His entire body was petrified, like a stone man, yet he had no wings on his back, resembling an ordinary human, not even emitting the slightest aura of antiquity.
Yet, it was precisely this stone man that caused all members of the Heavenly Race to kneel down in worship, prostrating themselves and shouting respectfully, "First Progenitor!"
He was indeed the First Progenitor of the Heavenly Race.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, gazing at the First Progenitor. Although in a petrified state with no aura leaking out, he could clearly sense the extreme power hidden within the stone body, not inferior to the Changsheng Divine Emperor or the Hongtian Dominator of the past—a Primordial Giant level.
Knowing about the Second and Third Progenitors, he had known there must be a First Progenitor within the Heavenly Race, and the higher the ranking, the stronger the power.
But he had never expected the First Progenitor to be at the Primordial Giant level.
The Heavenly Race'sheritage / foundation was far more astonishing than he had imagined.
Even so, Ye Chen remained brimming with fighting spirit. "Very well, I don't mind fighting three at once!"
Sensing thebooming fighting spirit on Ye Chen, utterly fearless even with the three colossi from antiquity-level progenitors of the Heavenly Race all emerging and the Primordial Giant First Progenitor making his appearance, the heroes of the Heavenly Race had not a shred of confidence left.
All their confidence had long been worn away bit by bit.
The Battle Saint King was too strong, completely beyond the bounds of common sense.
The stone-like First Progenitor revealed a bitter smile and sighed lightly. "Battle Saint King, I beseech you to cease hostilities and stop the fight."
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Fine. As long as the Heavenly Race releases those two, the fight will stop. Otherwise, I don't mind continuing to stir up trouble in your Heavenly Race."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Heavenly Race heroes turned ugly. The Battle Saint King was domineering, but he possessed the corresponding qualifications. The Ancestral Heaven Great Array couldn't trap him, the two progenitors were being suppressed, and now, even though the First Progenitor had emerged and might be able to defeat the Battle Saint King, it wasn't certain he could trap him.
Moreover, being constantly remembered by such a Primordial Giant was a consequence the Heavenly Race could not bear.
Suo Tianzun looked at the First Progenitor and urgently said, "First Progenitor, absolutely not! Xiugusi possesses the ultimate secret."
After a moment of contemplation, the First Progenitor finally nodded. "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. Those two will be released."
From behind, Shen Rong, Ye Cangqiong, Weier, and the others finally showed smiles.
Indeed, after beating the arrogant Heavenly Race into submission, they dared not refuse.
Of course, the root cause was still Ye Chen's overwhelming strength, suppressing the Heavenly Race.
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back. "Good."
During the wait, all the Heavenly Race powerhouses present felt extremely uneasy, including the Heavenly Race'sSupreme One andQuasi-Giant who remained relatively silent. Even the Second and Third Progenitors wore gloomy expressions, not uttering a word, for this was a humiliation.
The mighty Heavenly Race, which had dominated the Chaos Sea for endless ages, possessing three supreme colossi, was now forced into such a state by a single person. It was a monumental disgrace.
If it were the truly invincible ones like the Primordial Generation, the Heavenly Emperor, the Universe Great Emperor, or the Immortal Ancestor, that would be one thing—they were universally acknowledged as truly invincible throughout the endless ages of the Chaos Sea. But this Battle Saint King before them was an unheard-of, newly ascended colossus from antiquity.
However, as time passed, they gradually learned some astonishing news from the Chaos Sea about the Battle Saint King before them.
Over a hundred thousand years ago, the Battle Saint King returned in the form of a colossus, single-handedly charging into the alien race's ancient universe, breaking through their border pass, and silently killing multiple alien raceSupreme One andQuasi-Giant. Later, he fought against a generation's silent colossus—the Silent Abyss Imperial Venerable—at the alien race's universe border pass, suppressing him with overwhelming force.
Three alien race colossi pursued him but failed to catch him, and the Battle Saint King retreated unscathed.
Ten thousand years later, the Battle Saint King killed the Destiny Great Emperor who had been wandering in the Chaos Sea, slaying him after he broke through to become a new colossus from antiquity, truly shaking the past and illuminating the present.
Enraged, the alien race's ancient universe dispatched a great army, with seven colossi from antiquity attacking, led by a Primordial Giant like the Changsheng Divine Emperor, intending to invade the Pangu Universe and kill the Battle Saint King.
Yet in that battle, the Battle Saint King displayed world-shaking, astonishing combat power, fighting multiple alien race colossi alone, suppressing even the Yuanchu Imperial Ancestor. Even when the Primordial Giant Hongtian Dominator joined the expedition, not only did he return in defeat, but he was also forcefully blasted apart once by the Battle Saint King...
When the Heavenly Race learned these news, without exception, they revealed expressions of extreme shock and awe, including the three progenitors.
The Battle Saint King before them actually possessed such glorious and illustrious battle achievements.
Suppressing two alien race colossi, killing one alien race colossus, forcing the alien race colossi to retreat in defeat, and even the Hongtian Dominator was no match, being forcefully blasted apart.
One must know, the Hongtian Dominator was a Primordial Giant, existing on the same level as the Heavenly Race's First Progenitor, yet he still met such a miserable end. Just how strong was this Battle Saint King?
