Although Martial God was defeated, the lineage of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor had not yet been defeated.
Because he was not the strongest; Ye Chen was.
Back during the great competition among the strongest of the Boundary Desert's younger generation, he had narrowly lost to Ye Chen. In the following century, he had cultivated arduously within the imperial clan, his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds.
However, Martial God knew that while he was improving, Ye Chen was certainly doing the same. Moreover, the latter, having won the championship of the young generation's great competition, had been able to enter the Emperor Blood World left behind by the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor to cultivate.
Back then, Martial God had only bathed and cultivated in the Emperor Blood Pool left by the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor for thirty years, which had already allowed his flesh body to advance a step further, not inferior to an Imperial Son.
Having entered the Emperor Blood World left by the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor, which contained the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor's Essence Blood, and having gone into closed-door cultivation for a century, just how strong Ye Chen had become, even Martial God did not know.
But Martial God knew that the present Ye Chen was inevitably far superior to his former self.
Whoosh!
Everyone looked towards Ye Chen, who had always appeared low-key, greatly shocked.
Martial God was actually not the number one young talent of the Boundary Desert?
Nangong Divine Son revealed an expression of understanding. Indeed, Ye Chen was the strongest one, even stronger than Martial God.
Hearing this, Zhenyu Imperial Son also looked towards Ye Chen, frowning slightly. Only now did he carefully sense Ye Chen's aura, revealing a trace of astonishment. Because even he could not perceive the depths of this Ye Chen before him, who also seemed unfathomable. He said, "You do indeed seem to be stronger than Martial God!"
Regarding Martial God's words, Ye Chen naturally nodded.
Having come out this time, he naturally also had to fulfill the Twin Emperor Pact on behalf of the Boundary Desert. Ye Chen said, "I am slightly stronger than him."
Zhenyu Imperial Son said, "Since that's the case, let's have a battle. Let me see just how strong the true number one of the Boundary Desert's younger generation is!"
Although he said this, his expression was calm and confident.
This confidence stemmed from his own formidable strength. He believed that not to mention within the Zhenyu Imperial Domain, even looking across the boundless Southern Wasteland and its myriad Imperial Domains, his strength was absolutely among the top of the younger generation. He feared no one of his generation.
"Agreed!"
Ye Chen's words were also simple. He stepped forward, also a pure flesh body cultivator. But in the next moment, his flesh body tore through the void, appearing before Zhenyu Imperial Son.
He raised a fist and struck forward, containing the trajectory of the Great Dao, resonating with heaven and earth as it blasted towards Zhenyu Imperial Son.
At this moment, Zhenyu Imperial Son's expression changed slightly. He immediately executed a defensive divine ability, blocking in front of himself, because he sensed immense danger.
An ancient shield etched with various profound patterns appeared before him, like an eternal, imperishable Emperor Shield.
This was a defensive Emperor Technique of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor's lineage, with astonishing defensive power.
Boom—
However, to everyone's shock, when Ye Chen's fist landed on this simple, ancient shield, with a thunderous boom, the shield instantly developed countless cracks, spreading like a spiderweb, interlacing across the entire front of the ancient shield.
Immediately after, the ancient shield completely shattered, exploding apart. His fist pierced through the defensive Emperor Technique's ancient shield and struck Zhenyu Imperial Son's body.
Thud, thud, thud—
The Imperial Son's figure was forced back over a dozen steps in succession. When he stopped, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He raised his gaze, revealing a look of shock and disbelief.
It seemed he hadn't expected Ye Chen to truly break through his defense and even injure him.
Although there was a hint of underestimation and carelessness, even so, he believed that even Martial God would have found it difficult to break through this defensive Emperor Technique's ancient shield.
The entire hall was shocked, unable to believe it!
Right from the start, the Imperial Son was injured.
It must be noted that this defensive Emperor Technique was something even Martial God had not been able to completely shatter.
Had the Imperial Son been careless?
Ye Chen spoke calmly, "I would advise you to go all out, otherwise you'll easily suffer losses."
As he spoke, he attacked again, swinging his fist. It was still a very simple, ordinary attack technique.
However, Zhenyu Imperial Son did not dare to be careless this time, because he felt this person before him was quite bizarre.
He let out a long roar, directly elevating his own state to its absolute peak. The pores all over his body erupted with blazing radiance, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus rex breaking out of its cage. Emperor Techniques soared to the sky, various powerful divine abilities surged forth, blooming together between his fingers and palms. Then, he unleashed a world-shaking, peerless Great Dao assault, killing towards Ye Chen.
This time, Zhenyu Imperial Son directly underwent an ultimate sublimation, elevating his combat power to its utmost level in an instant. The divine power within his body boiled and surged, flowing through his limbs and bones, providing a terrifying boost.
Moreover, the fighting spirit in his eyes was fiery, and he rarely revealed an excited expression.
Because among the younger generation, no one had ever made him this excited, forcing him to go all out. Even Martial God had only made him go all out for a brief moment.
But the Ye Chen before him gave him a sense of terrifying pressure, making him dare not be careless, as if the slightest misstep would lead to complete defeat.
An immensely terrifying aura erupted from Zhenyu Imperial Son's body, shocking everyone present. At this moment, they finally personally felt the terror of Zhenyu Imperial Son, the number one of the Imperial Domain's younger generation, far surpassing countless others.
Truly worthy of being the strongest descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, truly terrifying.
Facing such an attack, they feared they would find it extremely difficult to withstand even ten exchanges.
It was simply like the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor in his youth.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
The two engaged in a frenzied exchange, easily crushing, shattering, and annihilating the void.
"Zhenyu Imperial Son is so strong. Will Ye Chen really be a match?" The two Boundary Desert Heaven's Prides also showed concern for Ye Chen. At the very least, they felt they would be completely routed within a few exchanges.
Facing such a terrifying Zhenyu Imperial Son, even Martial God had been forcefully suppressed. Although Ye Chen was strong, they had no confidence that Ye Chen could withstand Zhenyu Imperial Son.
But soon, everyone was astounded, because Ye Chen's flesh body was actually far more terrifying than Martial God's.
It was visible to the naked eye. The various fearsome Emperor Techniques and divine abilities that the Imperial Son simultaneously displayed, combined with his terrifying flesh body—these two terrifying forces combined and then landed on Ye Chen, yet they were all resisted, leaving little damage on his body.
What kind of terrifying flesh body was that?
Unbelievable!
It must be noted that even Martial God's formidable flesh body had been injured by Zhenyu Imperial Son upon their first exchange, blood flying.
"What a strong flesh body, stronger than both Martial God's and my own!" Zhenyu Imperial Son revealed a look of shock. Someone like him, who had seen much of the world, had never seen a peer whose flesh body was strong to such an extent.
He knew that not only was his flesh body not inferior to Martial God's, but his divine power could also forcefully contend with Martial God's. Both aspects were equivalent to Martial God. Moreover, once these two forces—flesh body power and divine power—were combined, it wasn't a simple one plus one, but produced an alternative transformation, potentially making one plus one equal three.
It was precisely because of this that Martial God had been directly crushed and defeated by him, Zhenyu Imperial Son.
Yet, such a terrifying offensive power, when it landed on Ye Chen, made Zhenyu Imperial Son want to laugh bitterly, because Ye Chen's flesh body was simply strong to an inconceivable degree, withstanding it all, not showing the slightest sign of injury.
Was this even human?
