"Impressive attack power, but still lacking somewhat." Ye Chen remained unperturbed, even when facing the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son. He too unleashed the Flesh Body Emperor Technique of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage, relying solely on physical strength, yet it carried a flavor that made the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son's hair stand on end.
Their fists collided.
Crack—
Ye Chen's fist remained flawless and undamaged, while the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son's fist split open, flesh torn and blood flying. As if struck by lightning, his figure staggered backward, each step causing the void beneath his feet to shatter and annihilate.
"Damn, is this even human?"
The Suppressing Prison Imperial Son couldn't help but curse.
All along, it had always been others who called him a freak, inhuman.
Now, the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son finally understood the bitterness others felt, for the Ye Chen he now faced was an even more terrifying figure—more freakish, more inhuman than himself.
Just what kind of monstrous being was this?
"I am human!"
Ye Chen answered very seriously, simultaneously delivering a whip kick that directly shattered the Emperor Technique barrier the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son had erected, sweeping it aside and smashing into the latter's divine body, sending him flying and nearly cleaving him in two at the waist.
The battle continued, growing increasingly intense.
But it also grew increasingly one-sided.
Pfft—
Soon, after only seven exchanges, the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son's figure was sent flying backward, wounded by Ye Chen's blows. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, each drop shimmering with dazzling crimson light.
Ye Chen, however, remained completely unscathed. Not a single Emperor Technique or divine ability had managed to breach his physical defense.
No wonder even Martial God admitted he was inferior to Ye Chen. Truly terrifying.
A fierce fighting spirit also surged within the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son. He deeply felt Ye Chen's strength, which was so much greater than Martial God's. Moreover, such a physique made even him feel inadequate.
But as the descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, he possessed his own pride. Various Emperor Techniques bloomed simultaneously, accompanied by a host of extraordinary divine abilities, unleashing world-destroying might. He even manifested a fearsome Dao Body, attacking Ye Chen from both sides at once.
He was going all out—for the first time since birth, he was unleashing his full power, all to defeat this opponent, Ye Chen.
Boom—
Suddenly, blood energy surged, drowning everything.
It was Ye Chen's blood energy, presenting a deep crimson hue, yet it was terrifyingly powerful, far exceeding everyone's imagination. Even several Ancient Divine Kings were greatly shocked. Such physical blood energy made even them feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
Ye Chen descended like an Ancient Emperor, trailing endless blood energy as he raised his fist and struck horizontally, unleashing the most fearsome Flesh Body Emperor Technique, tearing through everything.
Even the terrifying field created by several Ancient Divine Kings was torn apart by Ye Chen.
What kind of horrifying force was this, to tear apart a Divine King's field?
The seated Divine Kings were astonished, sensing that Ye Chen's power might be enough to challenge beings of their level, yet he was merely a Great Power. He was just outrageously strong.
Boom—
In the fierce collision, Ye Chen's figure stood unmoving like a mountain, while the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son's body was sent flying, shattered into pieces as he tumbled out of the field created by the Divine Kings.
The Imperial Son was utterly defeated!
Within the Imperial Son's palace, silence reigned, so quiet one could hear a pin drop! The Suppressing Prison Imperial Son had actually lost.
The Suppressing Prison Imperial Son was the strongest descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, immensely powerful. In the past, he had forcefully defeated ten Divine Sons.
Now, with the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor having become a Supreme Giant of the Southern Wasteland, the Imperial Son had been kept by the Great Emperor's side for years, receiving personal instruction. In all aspects, he had surpassed the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor at the same stage of life.
They believed that while the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son might not necessarily be number one in the Southern Wasteland, he was undoubtedly among the strongest, with few who could rival him.
Yet, he had been defeated by someone whose name was completely unknown.
Over there, the Nangong Divine Son sighed with emotion. Just as he had thought. From the start, he had sensed that Ye Chen was stronger than Martial God. Now, witnessing it with his own eyes—Ye Chen defeating the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son—that level of combat power could truly be called peerless.
Everyone present changed expressions, their gazes toward Ye Chen filled with awe.
It was the awe reserved for the strong!
Within the palace, crimson light surged. The shattered Suppressing Prison Imperial Son immediately reassembled, standing up once more and restoring his majestic, heroic bearing. Even in defeat, he remained imposing and dignified, yet at this moment, there was a hint of dejection.
Because he had lost!
All along, he had harbored an invincible confidence, believing he could sweep aside all enemies in the world, even if he fought his way to the core Thirty-Three Celestial Domains of the Origin Land.
Yet now, in his own territory, within the Suppressing Prison Imperial Domain, he had suffered a crushing defeat.
The Suppressing Prison Imperial Son looked at Ye Chen. After a long while, he let out a helpless sigh. "Fellow Daoist, your combat power is peerless. I am not your match."
The Imperial Son admitted defeat, acknowledging he was no match for Ye Chen.
Martial God and the other three Boundary Desert Heaven's Prides were greatly shaken, filled with boundless joy.
Now, Ye Chen, representing the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage, had defeated the strongest descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor lineage. This meant the ancient Twin Emperor Pact had been fulfilled. From now on, the Boundary Desert was unsealed. The Imperial Clan and the Seventy-Two Tribes could leave their exiled Boundary Desert and venture into the outside world.
Ye Chen said, "You are also very strong. Your divine power is formidable, your physique is robust. Cultivating both to this level, you have few rivals among your peers. Facing you, eight or nine out of ten other Imperial Sons and Daughters would likely lose."
Ye Chen also gave the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son a rather high evaluation.
It was just unfortunate that he had encountered Ye Chen.
Otherwise, the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son's undefeated record would have continued, fostering an invincible Dao Heart.
The Suppressing Prison Imperial Son said, "Now, Fellow Daoist, representing the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage, has defeated me. From this day forward, the seal on the Boundary Desert shall be lifted!"
Hearing this, Martial God and the other three Boundary Desert Heaven's Prides were overjoyed. From now on, they would no longer be trapped in the barren, exiled land of the Boundary Desert.
For generations, the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage had strived to leave the Boundary Desert.
The successive young generation tournaments held in the past were precisely to select capable youths to leave the Boundary Desert and challenge the strongest descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor lineage.
For example, the old chieftain of the Huang Tribe was once one of them. He had left the Boundary Desert, traveled the outside world, and also challenged descendants of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor lineage, but unfortunately, he had lost each time.
In this generation, even Martial God had emerged, yet he too encountered the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son, the strongest descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, and was defeated.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had appeared. Though not a direct descendant of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage, he had grown up in the Huang Tribe and was considered one of the Seventy-Two Tribes. Representing the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage, he had finally defeated the strongest descendant of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor lineage.
At this moment, they couldn't help but weep tears of joy.
Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son to be so broad-minded, completely disregarding the previous events.
"You can rest assured. In fact, toward the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage, we have never harbored any malicious intent," the Suppressing Prison Imperial Son said. "The Imperial Father once said that if one day the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage could leave the Boundary Desert, they could freely choose a Divine Domain to settle, thrive, and develop. Of course, now that the Imperial Father has become one of the Supreme Giants of the Southern Wasteland, the Imperial Domain he rules has expanded. Over a dozen Ancient Great Emperors nearby are willing to follow the Imperial Father, and their subordinate Imperial Domains are naturally also options. Moreover, if the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage wishes to rule an Imperial Domain themselves, the Imperial Father would likely agree and personally carve out an Imperial Domain for the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor lineage to govern."
