Boom—!
The moment Ye Chen pointed his finger, the heavens and earth shook violently, affecting even the boundless reaches of the entire Immortal Celestial Domain.
A terrifying might radiated in all directions, causing everyone within the Immortal Divine City to completely change color. Even the Heavenly Venerates who had earlier been enjoying the spectacle now paled.
The Heavenly Venerates in their lofty positions could sense the terror of Ye Chen's single finger far more clearly than anyone else.
Great Heavenly Venerable Donghuang's face revealed shock as he stared at Ye Chen in astonishment.
Two colossal fingers collided in the sky above the Immortal Divine City in an instant, like two Tian Domains crashing together violently. In that moment, the heavens and earth changed color.
The infinite heavens were annihilated into nothingness in the blink of an eye!
The Immortal Divine City shook violently, and all sides paled. Great Heavenly Venerable Donghuang was the first to release his Great Heavenly Venerate power to protect the multitude of powerful beings.
The other Heavenly Venerates also released their Heavenly Venerate power, shielding all living beings and striving to completely isolate the force of the collision.
Boom—!
An unparalleled power surged and erupted, surpassing the Immortal Celestial Domain and even shaking half of the Thirty-Three Tian Domains.
Within the endless destructive force, the void was annihilated. Vaguely, blood splattered, sprinkling down across the myriad heavens, drawing the attention of all sides. It was unclear who was injured.
But looking up in shock, they saw that Ye Chen remained unmoved like a mountain, his tall and slender figure standing firm in the heavens, like the sole eternal deity of Ten Thousand Ancient Times, not retreating a single step.
On the contrary, in the eyes of all living beings, the Immortal Great Celestial Venerable—who should have been invincible in the world—retreated two steps. The fingertip he had attacked with cracked, and drops of Great Heavenly Venerate blood splattered down from it, transforming into a sky full of bloody light that drowned out the sun, moon, and starry river, immeasurable in scale.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
The Immortal Great Celestial Venerable had actually been no match for Ye Chen!
Even if it was likely he had been caught off guard, there was no doubt that Ye Chen's strength far exceeded the world's imagination. Otherwise, how could he have broken the Immortal Great Celestial Venerable's fingertip, making him bleed and splatter blood across the myriad heavens?
Under normal circumstances, even if a Heavenly Venerate attacked with a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Dao Weapon, unless it was a life-and-death battle, it might not be enough to break the Immortal Great Celestial Venerable's physical defense. After all, his physical body was extremely powerful, ranking among the top even among Great Heavenly Venerates.
Zhu Tian Ancient Venerable's eyes widened as he stared at Ye Chen in astonishment. At this moment, it was like a mortal gazing upon the supreme deity.
Not far away, Emperor Jin'e's face was filled with horror, even tinged with a trace of terror.
Not long ago, he had freely mocked Ye Chen, saying he would likely perish in the Supreme One Grand Competition. Now, thinking back, he was merely a Quasi-Giant, yet he had dared to ridicule a supreme existence who was most likely a Great Heavenly Venerate. Wasn't that defying one's superior and seeking death?
His heart trembled with fear!
In the heavens, Great Heavenly Venerable Donghuang revealed deep shock. This person, who had come at the request of his descendants and disciples, was actually this powerful—definitely not as simple as a Supreme One.
"You—" The Immortal Great Celestial Venerable stared at Ye Chen in shock. This scene was beyond his expectations.
Who exactly was this person, that he could break his fingertip?
It must be known that he was not only a Great Heavenly Venerate, a Primordial Giant, but also true to his name, hailed as 'Immortal'—a truly immortal existence. He was an Innate Chaos Demon God who had risen step by step from the Chaos Sea's creation to reach this stage, becoming a peerless, matchless Giant of the present era.
Innate Chaos Demon Gods were originally peerless in physical strength, reigning supreme under heaven. The Immortal Great Celestial Venerable had cultivated to the Primordial Giant level, with both his physical body and Dao principles reaching this realm, making him even stronger than the Flame Demon God that Ye Chen had smashed in the Eternal Night Domain.
Yet, despite possessing an Immortal Body, his fingertip had cracked in the collision. Without a doubt, this could only mean the other party's physical body was not inferior to his own, and was very likely even stronger.
Recalling Ye Chen's words not long ago—that he had entered the Eternal Night Domain alone, struck against nine Dark Giants, including the Seven Heroes of Chaos, seven Giant-level Innate Chaos Demon Gods, with the Flame Demon God being a Primordial Giant—he couldn't help but be greatly shocked. Could it be that his words were true? Had this person truly smashed and suppressed the Seven Heroes of Chaos?
As an Innate Chaos Demon God himself, how could the Immortal Great Celestial Venerable not know of the Seven Heroes of Chaos? They were famously invincible, suppressing an entire era multiple epochs ago. As a group of seven, they were notorious throughout the Chaos Sea in that era, feared and deeply wary of by various Giants.
Even back then, the Immortal Great Celestial Venerable had only just stepped into the realm of Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giants. Facing the Seven Heroes of Chaos, he had to retreat and avoid conflict, as engaging in battle would have carried grave danger.
After so many epochs had passed, even if the Seven Heroes of Chaos were trapped in the Eternal Night Domain, they must have advanced further, all stepping into the Ten Thousand Ancient Times realm. The Flame Demon God, who was already a Ten Thousand Ancient Times Giant back then, had become a Primordial Giant, reigning supreme with his physical body—how incredibly strong! Even for the present him, he could only claim to have a slight upper hand. Defeating him was possible, but killing him was difficult, let alone sweeping through the entire Seven Heroes of Chaos group. He could only say one thing—very difficult!
If the person before him truly possessed such capability, then it could only be said that in today's battle, he was afraid he would be no match.
The Immortal Great Celestial Venerable's expression couldn't help but darken a few shades. However, the truth of the matter could not be guaranteed. He only knew that Ye Chen was indeed very strong, with a physical body that suppressed all, surpassing even his own by a margin.
But to make him admit defeat before the eyes of the world and relinquish his position as Great Heavenly Venerate was absolutely impossible.
Even if Ye Chen was indeed strong, he was the Immortal Heavenly Venerate. Not only was his physical body invincible, but his Dao principles also crowned the world. He could be said to be a dual Primordial Giant in both form and spirit.
"Although you are indeed strong, I am eternal through Ten Thousand Ancient Times, an Innate Chaos Demon God born at the creation of the Chaos Sea, overlooking countless epochs. The capabilities I possess are beyond your imagination," the Immortal Great Celestial Venerable snorted coldly. His fingertip recovered in an instant—it was merely a minor injury. For him, even a bone-deep wound would be far from serious. To make him admit defeat over something like this was simply impossible.
A far more terrifying Great Heavenly Venerate might suddenly erupted, its majestic power plunging the entire Immortal Celestial Domain into a complete quagmire.
Time and space solidified!
At this moment, aside from Great Heavenly Venerable Donghuang and the other Heavenly Venerates, those below the Heavenly Venerate level found it difficult to move, including Supreme Ones and Quasi-Giants. They stared in horror at the high and lofty Immortal Great Celestial Venerable, who seemed like the sole ruler of the world. Only at this step would one truly understand the vast gap between oneself and a Great Heavenly Venerate—like the difference between cloud and mud, insurmountable.
Crack—!
But soon, the time and space restrained by the Great Heavenly Venerate's might shattered. Ye Chen merely shifted his body slightly, and the restraint formed from over ninety percent of the Great Heavenly Venerate's might pressing down on him instantly crumbled, unable to affect him in the slightest. He looked coldly at the other party and said, "How can mere Dao might restrain me? It seems you still believe you can fight. Since that's the case, today I will throw only a single punch. If you can withstand this punch of mine, I will retract my earlier words and no longer seek to take your position as Great Heavenly Venerate."
As his words fell, his fist swung out.
