Within the Chaos Heavenly Mansion, although Qian Xun and the others were grateful that Hun Wuji had stepped forward at this moment, they also felt he was being far too arrogant.
Because, to face five Taishang Kings at the same realm—even a Supreme Heavenly Venerate in their youth probably wouldn't have been this presumptuous.
The atmosphere on the scene was heavy and tense.
However, Kunxu, Zangtianyuan, and Zisheng—these Ancient Great Venerates—cast their gazes upon Hun Wuji, seeing something more. They exchanged glances, each revealing a look of astonishment.
Clearly, Hun Wuji was far from simple.
Hun Wuji entered the cosmic battlefield and saw that the other four Taishang Kings had not entered. He looked at Gai Wushen and said, "It seems you don't believe me."
"Enough talk. This Sovereign can suppress you with one hand alone." Gai Wushen directly displayed his most powerful cultivation. The majestic might of a Taishang erupted boundlessly, far surpassing that of anyone in the previous battles by an immeasurable degree.
No matter how strong the Taizhen King was, it was difficult to contend with a Taishang.
But a Taishang and Gai Wushen, a king among the Supreme Realm, also had a vast chasm between them.
This was also why the Lord of Heaven-Mending City, as a Supreme Realm Overlord, was far inferior to Wanxing Taishang, the son of a Heavenly Venerate.
The cosmic battlefield trembled violently. Gai Wushen stepped forward, traversing the vast sky even faster than when Qian Xun had employed the Profound Truth of Time earlier. On the battle spear, evolved from Taishang rules, flowed the light of life and death. It shot towards Hun Wuji with a simple, direct force.
This caused many Supreme Realm Overlords within the Chaos Heavenly Hall to change expressions, for that strike could absolutely severely injure a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Clearly, Gai Wushen was serious.
Yet, facing Gai Wushen's terrifying strike, Hun Wuji neither dodged nor avoided it. He simply raised his hand and grabbed.
Boom—
The Upper Realm, which had just been repaired by Ye Chen using Heavenly Venerate methods, immediately collapsed.
That was the fearsome collision of Taishangs.
But, to the shock of countless onlookers, Hun Wuji caught Gai Wushen's spear thrust, completely unharmed, not even a scratch on him.
Clearly, his physical body's strength surpassed the extreme.
"To block Gai Wushen's spear thrust—this person's physical body is incredibly strong!"
The crowd was astounded. To block the fierce assault of a Taishang King bare-handed, even if the Taishang King hadn't unleashed a world-shaking divine ability, was absolutely extraordinary.
Gai Wushen's eyes suddenly narrowed. The dual lights of life and death erupted from his body, evolving into a Life-Death Taiji Diagram.
From within the yin-yang eyes of the Taiji Diagram, two Gai Wushens simultaneously stepped out—these were his life and death dual bodies—directly charging at Hun Wuji.
The Death Gai Wushen, holding a battle spear with infinite death energy, manifested a great world of death and stabbed towards Hun Wuji.
The Life Gai Wushen had the Life Ancestral Tree manifest behind him. Countless vines descended, each containing terrifying power. Billions of vines coalesced into a single pillar that held up the heavens, blazing with boundless light of life, and smashed down towards Hun Wuji.
Without a doubt, Gai Wushen knew Hun Wuji was powerful. Therefore, in their second exchange, he immediately employed his life and death dual bodies, unleashing his strongest attack.
Under such a terrifying offensive, far surpassing the previous one, it could absolutely blast apart a Supreme Realm Overlord.
Yet, a ring of chaotic light manifested around Hun Wuji's body, enveloping him and forming an absolute defense.
Boom—
Boom—
The peerless attacks of the Life and Death Gai Wushens landed on the ring of chaotic light. Although it trembled violently, it actually held, the defense unbroken.
This scene stunned everyone.
"This—"
The crowd was horrified. The Ancient Great Venerates' eyes blazed with fearsome radiance.
Ye Chen also revealed a trace of astonishment.
The Life and Death Gai Wushens were greatly shocked. Their peerless attacks from the dual bodies had actually failed to break the opponent's defense. Just how terrifying was that defensive power? It could be called the absolute defense of the Supreme Realm.
Hun Wuji raised his palm and slapped forward. Between his fingers and palm, the most blazing chaotic light was contained. Clearly visible within it, the Great Dao of Life and Death rotated, similarly evolving a Life-Death Taiji Diagram that simultaneously slammed into the Life and Death Gai Wushens.
Boom—
Boom—
Gai Wushen's life and death dual bodies were sent flying back.
At the same time, Hun Wuji, enveloped by the Life-Death Taiji Diagram, instantly displayed extreme speed. Shockingly, fragments of time also circled around him, much like Qian Xun not long before, but far more extreme, as if treading upon the River of Time to strike. He instantly descended before Gai Wushen's life and death dual bodies.
His left hand evolved a Prehistoric Ancient Heavenly Stele, seemingly inscribed with the entire ancient history of the Origin Land, manifesting infinite profound truths of the Great Dao. Chaotic light suffused it, and ten symbols appeared, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
Because those were unmistakably Heavenly Venerate symbols, actually evolved by Hun Wuji.
His right hand formed a seal, manifesting a Heavenly Dao Ancient Pagoda with thirty-three layers. On each layer, a supremely majestic heavenly shadow appeared, very similar to the Cosmic Heaven Pagoda.
Hun Wuji, with the Heavenly Stele in his left hand and the Heavenly Pagoda in his right, respectively struck towards Gai Wushen's life and death dual bodies.
Boom—
The Prehistoric Ancient Heavenly Stele smashed the Death Gai Wushen until his body was covered in wounds, his flesh bursting open, gushing with vast amounts of blood.
The Death Gai Wushen roared, trying to break free from the suppression of the Prehistoric Ancient Heavenly Stele. But upon it, ten Heavenly Venerate symbols manifested, flowing with supreme Heavenly Dao might, preventing the Death Gai Wushen from breaking free immediately. Instead, he was continuously pressed down by the Ancient Heavenly Stele, his blood flowing profusely, dyeing the vast cosmic battlefield red.
On the other side, the thirty-three-layered Heavenly Dao Ancient Pagoda suppressed the Life Gai Wushen. Each layer seemed to have a majestic heavenly shadow seated within, as if they were the thirty-three Supreme Heavenly Venerates of antiquity.
Behind the Life Gai Wushen, the Life Ancestral Tree supported the great universe, its canopy covering the starry sky of the cosmos. Countless stars seemed minuscule before this Life Ancestral Tree.
However, when the thirty-three-layered Heavenly Dao Ancient Pagoda descended, countless thick branches shattered one after another. Even with its unparalleled life force, it couldn't hold, utterly unable to support it.
The Life Ancestral Tree exploded, leaving only the Life Gai Wushen howling, his hair disheveled, straining to lift his head against the thirty-three-layered Heavenly Dao Ancient Pagoda. Blood gushed from every pore on his body.
Within the Chaos Heavenly Hall, everyone watched with overwhelming shock.
The mighty Gai Wushen, son of the Life-Death Heavenly Venerate, a Taishang King on the Taishang Ranking, peerless within the same realm, dominating an era—yet within the cosmic battlefield, in just a few short exchanges, he had been forcefully suppressed by Hun Wuji, a previously unknown figure, who had taken action against his life and death dual bodies.
"Impossible! That is our clan's Young Ancestor, a peerless Taishang King!"
The supreme experts of the Life-Death Heavenly Race wore expressions of disbelief. That was the Young Ancestor hailed as possessing the potential to prove the Supreme Heavenly Throne, titled Taishang King, capable of impacting the position of Heavenly Venerate in the future.
Now, he was suppressed by a completely unknown Hun Wuji.
This was difficult for them to accept.
At this moment, the expressions of the other four Taishang Kings from the Eternal Heavenly Races grew incomparably grave. Yan Tianjun of the Asura Heavenly Race said solemnly, "This person is very strong. One-on-one, we might not be his match."
Although they were all peerless overlords, Taishang Kings, they knew they weren't much stronger than Gai Wushen.
Since the opponent could suppress Gai Wushen, then one-on-one, they feared they were also no match for Hun Wuji.
Though they didn't want to admit it, they had no choice!
Taichu said, "In that case, let us enter together and test his skills."
Boom—
As his words fell, the four Taishang Kings simultaneously entered the cosmic battlefield, erupting with their most terrifying Taishang might.
