The great battle erupted. Alien race King-level demons appeared, numbering a full twenty-five. Each was at least three zhang tall, with ferocious visages and four wings on their backs. They were exceptionally powerful, no weaker than the one slain earlier by the Beiming Saint, and among them were even stronger ones.
Suddenly, the young kings who had been breaking through rapidly encountered a massive obstacle, falling into a bitter struggle, unable to crush through like rotten wood.
Ye Chen was also attacked, surrounded by an unknown number of alien race demons.
Boom—
Suddenly, an ultimate, supremely potent blood energy erupted. Ye Chen rarely unleashed the blood energy of his own treasure body. It was as if a divine furnace of the heavenly realm had overturned, pouring down from the ninth heaven. Boundless blood energy poured forth like divine fire.
It was also like ten volcanoes erupting, flames soaring to the sky, blood light spreading, surging through the six directions and eight wildernesses, flooding this entire region.
His blood energy was supremely pure and potent, the opposite of the alien demons' sinister nature. Like true divine fire, it ignited one alien demon after another into ashes.
Crackle, pop—
From his body, thunderous, heavy, rumbling sounds of bones shifting and clashing rang out, shaking this void. He laughed, "It's been a long time since I've used such methods. Very well, I'll test them on you today."
With peerless blood energy and surging divine fire, Ye Chen was like an ancient deity walking the mortal world. Facing the overwhelming horde of alien demons, he showed no fear and began slaughtering in all directions.
Alien demons were burned and slain into ashes one after another, including Divine Transformation Realm great demons. None could block him; he simply swept through.
This made many young powerhouses tremble in their hearts. Was this the ultimate method of a Young King?
However, the other kings were also shaken, because this blood energy was too vigorous, even surpassing theirs by a significant margin. It was hard to imagine Ye Chen's blood energy had reached this level; his treasure body must be even stronger.
A massive dark light flashed. That alien race King-level demon charged over, holding a trident. Sinister laws soared to the heavens. Its pitch-black scales shimmered with demonic light, clattering as it charged towards Ye Chen.
Clang—
Ye Chen stood unmoving like a mountain in the void, allowing the alien King-level demon's demonic light to impact him. It was as if thousands of demonic swords were slashing his body, the clanging sounds unceasing.
But what nearly made everyone gasp in shock was that when those streaks of demonic light struck Ye Chen's body, it was like they collided with Chaos Immortal Gold. Sparks flew, yet the young king himself remained unharmed, not a single mark of damage.
What an incredibly powerful golden treasure body, surpassing the imagination of all the powerhouses.
"Is this all the skill you have?"
Ye Chen said lightly. Then, his whole body shook. An invisible wave of air erupted, rolling out and shaking the void, actually forcibly dispersing all the demonic light.
Swish—
Reverse Void Eight Steps was executed, peerless in the world, transcending the ordinary and reason. Ye Chen's entire person condensed into a dazzling beam of light that shot across the sky. With a swish, he descended before the alien race King-level demon.
The alien King-level demon was terrified and also roared. From its mouth full of ferocious fangs, it continuously spat alien race words, the meaning unknown. But powerful dao principles surged forth, descending, and it swung its trident in attack. Dark light flashed, the void nearly tearing apart.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold lightning. Without any fancy techniques, he simply threw a punch. With a boom, it seemed as if this entire heaven and earth were pressing down. A loud bang echoed as that trident shattered, its dao principles pulverized. The divine fist descended from above, carrying vast power.
Boom—
That alien King-level demon roared. Its pitch-black scales shattered all over, evil blood continuously splattering out. It was smashed directly from the void deep into the earth.
The powerhouses were shocked. With just this one punch, he had actually smashed the alien King-level demon deep into the earth. Wasn't this strength a bit too astonishing?
"Is this the difference between the second..."
The alien King-level demon soon soared up from the ground. Demonic light flashed, its injuries rapidly healing—an advantage of this race.
Of course, these were only external injuries. Internal injuries would require considerable time to recover.
But unfortunately, it faced Ye Chen, a contemporary invincible Immortal True King. Even without using his True King's invincible power, he was still astonishing.
He continuously attacked, throwing punch after punch, not even using dao force or laws, just pure physical power. The entire void trembled, as if it might shatter at any moment.
The alien King-level demon was sent flying back again and again. Even though it could quickly heal injuries, under such relentless pummeling, it couldn't truly recover. Moreover, the bones and tendons within its body were rapidly shattering.
The young powerhouses in the distance were all dumbfounded. Those young kings were struggling fiercely against the alien King-level demons, but Ye Chen was completely overpowering his. It was unimaginable.
Boom—
Ye Chen's physical body was peerless. In an instant, his blood energy converged inward, completely condensed into his right fist. He struck horizontally at the alien King-level demon, containing vast divine might within. Upon eruption, it was as if a hundred thousand volcanoes were exploding, piercing through the alien King-level demon's body. His entire person even condensed into a meteor flashing past, tearing the demon in two.
Divine might overshadowed the world. The powerhouses were moved and shocked. Even the other alien demons trembled, not daring to approach this fearsome humanoid Great Demon King.
Thus, Ye Chen successfully opened a path, soaring up and descending upon the pyramid altar.
At the same time, the other young supreme powerhouses were unwilling to fall behind. As fellow False King supreme powerhouses, who was truly weaker than whom? Here, they all unleashed the invincible methods of kings, sweeping across the eight wildernesses to stand firm.
Although the alien race King-level demons were called King-level, in truth, they couldn't compare to the young kings. Because the young kings had more vigorous blood energy and possessed supreme methods. Each was like a deity traversing the sky, divine radiance exploding as they swept through, rapidly charging towards the pyramid altar.
"Little Chen, quickly seize the Dragon Sturgeon. Avoid delay leading to unforeseen changes," Old Yan instructed.
"Alright!" Ye Chen responded. Treading the Reverse Void Eight Steps, with a swish, his entire person condensed into golden light that shot across the sky, charging towards the three-zhang ancient coffin at the highest point. He reached out to seize the Dragon Sturgeon.
"Scram!"
At this moment, a king charged over through the air, eyes wide with fury. He directly used his supreme kingly method. A flood of divine law radiance surged over—a supreme killing technique containing that king's essence, energy, and spirit, a full-force attack.
From other directions, several other kings also arrived, all attacking together, targeting Ye Chen who was approaching the Dragon Sturgeon.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with cold light. Just as he was about to counterattack, his expression suddenly changed at this moment. He retreated first, and even the other kings did the same, swiftly retreating from the pyramid altar. Because at this time, the three-zhang ancient coffin on the pyramid altar actually began to release vast, majestic divine energy. A terrifying pressure flooded down, overwhelming and peerless. The entire pyramid altar trembled.
"What's happening?"
The kings' expressions changed, their gazes fixed on the bronze ancient coffin on the pyramid altar. An eerie glow actually flowed and flickered, continuously overflowing with surging divine might. The void seemed to grow heavy and still.
The demons in those demon mountain nests trembled incessantly, actually kneeling on the ground, bowing towards the pyramid altar. Strange dao chants were recited, as if in sacrificial worship.
Ye Chen's expression turned grave. He had never encountered such a situation before. Old Yan spoke, his tone serious, "Be careful. This is an alien race sacrificial ritual. They only perform sacrifices for sufficiently powerful, terrifying existences. Generally, they are using the sacrifice to summon a powerful being."
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed. Clearly, the alien existence within the bronze ancient coffin must be extremely powerful. Otherwise, these alien demons wouldn't kneel and submit like this. Moreover, that dao pressure alone was enough to indicate everything.
All the kings looked uncertain but were very serious, harboring great apprehension. They feared what might emerge from the bronze ancient coffin, worried a terrifying existence would step out.
Only the mysterious, ancient dao chants rose. The bronze ancient coffin showed no further changes, only the strong pressure continued to flow out, as if the mysterious existence within was only subconsciously releasing its dao pressure.
Everyone waited patiently for a full half an hour. They even prepared the secret treasures bestowed by their elders for revival, ready to escape in case of emergencies. But still, there was no further movement from within the bronze ancient coffin.
At this time, Old Yan spoke again, "You can act now. Although there is a powerful fluctuation within the bronze ancient coffin, it's very calm, not revived. Seize this opportunity to take the Dragon Sturgeon."
He instructed Ye Chen but did not personally intervene. No matter what, he had to make complete preparations to avoid unforeseen situations. Moreover, this Dragon Sturgeon was mainly for Ye Chen's use, so unless absolutely necessary, he would not personally act.
Swish—
Ye Chen charged towards the pyramid altar once more. Seeing this, the other young kings, though still apprehensive of the existence on the bronze ancient coffin, found the Dragon Sturgeon too priceless in the world. No one could truly remain calm. One after another, they followed, charging up to seize the Dragon Sturgeon.
"Hmm?"
Just as he reached the pyramid altar, Ye Chen's expression suddenly changed. Because he clearly felt a terrifying gravity continuously transmitting down from above the pyramid altar. The terrifying pressure weighed on his body, as if massive mountains and great peaks were pressing down on him. Every step was arduous.
It wasn't just him. The other young kings also encountered this situation.
"What terrifying gravity."
One king after another had their expressions change. It was only because they were sufficiently powerful. If it were anyone else, they would have long been crushed into a pulp.
However, they were all extremely powerful, possessing extraordinary divine bearing. One after another, their bodies glowed. Kingly laws coiled around them. Within their bodies, terrifying potential revived. Divine power surged. They actually forcibly withstood the terrifying gravity, charging towards the very top of the pyramid altar, their target still the Dragon Sturgeon.
