An even more intense battle erupted.
Both sides were peerless powerhouses, far surpassing several Imperial Sons present. Only the Zhenyu Imperial Son could compare, yet even he was astonished at this moment.
"As expected, you are of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor's lineage. Who are you to him? His descendant?"
The Chitian Imperial Son became increasingly convinced that Ye Chen was the son of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor. Otherwise, how could his flesh body be so incomparably formidable?
Throughout the entire Southern Wasteland, the number one figure in flesh body cultivation was the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor alone.
Even Supreme Giants could not match the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor's flesh body. He was an existence who had proven the Dao and achieved Emperor status through pure flesh body cultivation. The might of his physique was such that even Supreme Giants admitted inferiority.
Now, a mysterious super genius who had never been heard of before had appeared, also cultivating purely the flesh body. Apart from being a descendant of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor, the Chitian Imperial Son could not believe anyone else could reach such a level.
The other geniuses on the Chitian Imperial Son's side were also shocked, and they suddenly understood why Ye Chen's flesh body was so terrifying.
Only Martial God sighed inwardly. The Chitian Imperial Son and the others would never know that, given the strength of Ye Chen's flesh body, even the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor at the same realm might be slightly inferior.
Boom—
Ye Chen, with a simple fist once more, shattered one of the Chitian Imperial Son's Emperor-level techniques. He said coldly, "I am no one!"
"Impossible! If you are not a descendant of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor, you cannot possess such a powerful flesh body!" The Chitian Imperial Son refused to believe it. His aura was rising steadily, his Divine King-level combat power erupting in full force as he unleashed one terrifying divine ability after another.
If not for this being the celestial palace of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, with peerless powerhouses presiding, the clash between these two alone would have been enough to shatter everything.
"Since you are a descendant of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor, then today, this Imperial Son will send you on your way to meet your Emperor Father!"
The Chitian Imperial Son roared, divine power surging. Several Divine King Great Dao essences manifested, their might increasing sharply, terrifyingly oppressive as they swept toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. Facing the three Divine King Great Dao essences, he met them head-on with his flesh body.
Under the gazes of the onlookers, who were shocked to the point of nearly cracking, after a fierce collision, the three Divine King Great Dao essences all shattered. Ye Chen emerged unscathed, his thick black hair disheveled, striding out from the ocean of destructive law energy like a peerless Great Emperor descending upon the mortal world.
He brought his palm and fingers together, slashing down from above toward the Chitian Imperial Son.
The Chitian Imperial Son became extremely solemn, brandishing the Chiyang Divine Sword forged from Hengyang Red Gold while also executing the peerless Emperor technique of the Chitian Emperor Ancestor, going all out.
The fierce battle grew increasingly intense.
But it ended quickly.
On the thirteenth exchange, the Divine King domain exploded. A figure covered in blood was sent flying, crashing onto the floor of the divine hall.
It was the Chitian Imperial Son!
He had been defeated. Ye Chen, meanwhile, stepped out from the terrifying ocean of destructive laws, appearing divine, martial, and imposing from start to finish, his majesty suppressing all heavens.
"Ye Chen won!"
The geniuses on the Zhenyu Imperial Son's side were exhilarated. When they looked at Ye Chen, reverence also appeared in their eyes.
It was reverence for a true powerhouse.
Ye Chen was too strong. Even the son of a Supreme Giant like the Chitian Imperial Son had been defeated by him.
What kind of fearsome cultivation was that?
The Chitian Imperial Son was defeated, covered in blood and wounds all over his body. Even with the protection of extraordinary divine armor, he was not completely shielded. Many of his bones and tendons were shattered, and his internal organs were all reduced to fragments.
Of course, for someone of his stature, this was not a major injury. The Supreme Giant bloodline of the Chitian Emperor Ancestor flowed within him, superior even to ordinary supreme bloodlines. His bloodline power boiled, surging and repairing his injuries, rapidly restoring him.
Supported by the other geniuses, he stood up again. But when he looked at that young supreme powerhouse who looked down upon all heavens, even someone as proud as him revealed a trace of gloom. He sighed, "I am defeated."
Who was he? The son of the Chitian Emperor Ancestor, whose father was a Supreme Giant of the Southern Wasteland, dominating an era.
Immediately after, the Chitian Imperial Son's eyes blazed with intense light, his killing intent not concealed in the slightest. "Although you are strong, my Chitian Emperor Ancestor lineage will not allow you to grow up."
The Chitian Emperor Ancestor and the Twin Emperors shared a sea of blood enmity. Especially seeing Ye Chen resemble the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor of old, if he were to fully mature, becoming the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor or even stepping into the ranks of Supreme Giants, he would inevitably become a nightmare for the Chitian Emperor Ancestor lineage.
Naturally, the Chitian Emperor Ancestor lineage would not allow such a fearsome enemy to grow up. They would strangle him in the cradle.
The Zhenyu Imperial Son's expression turned cold. "Chi Changtian, with this Imperial Son here, your Chitian Emperor Ancestor lineage shall not harm anyone of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor's lineage!"
In his anger, he directly called the Chitian Imperial Son by his true name.
The Chitian Imperial Son said coldly, "Zhen Ming, your Emperor Father has become a Supreme Giant. My Chitian Emperor Ancestor lineage indeed cannot do anything to you. But killing a descendant of the Wasteland Desert Great Emperor's lineage is still possible. Your Suppressing Prison Great Emperor lineage cannot protect him at all times."
The threat was not concealed in the slightest.
Martial God and the others changed expression.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the Chitian Imperial Son and said coldly, "Want to kill me? Then I'll kill you first!"
Boom—
He acted as soon as he spoke, arriving before the Chitian Imperial Son in the blink of an eye.
The Chitian Imperial Son had just activated his supreme bloodline to heal his injuries when a fist pierced through his chest.
This was only because he reacted in time, avoiding the vital point of his head. Otherwise, this punch would have directly blasted his skull apart.
"How dare you!"
The several Imperial Sons and numerous super geniuses on the Chitian Imperial Son's side shouted in shock and fury, all taking action.
"Theenmity between them should be resolved by them!" The Zhenyu Imperial Son made his move. His strength was in no way inferior to the Chitian Imperial Son's, instantly restraining the several Imperial Sons and numerous super geniuses.
Naturally, the Zhenyu Imperial Son could not simultaneously deal with so many super geniuses, but restraining them was not a major problem.
Moreover, Martial God and the Ten Divine Sons also took action.
For a time, the numerous super geniuses on the Chitian Imperial Son's side who wanted to rescue him found it difficult to do so.
Ye Chen's large hand clenched forcefully, directly crushing the Chitian Imperial Son's heart. Simultaneously, at such close range, the Chitian Imperial Son simply could not dodge. Having just undergone a great battle, his Yuan Power was severely depleted, his strength greatly diminished, far from his peak state. He was no match for Ye Chen at all.
Boom—
Soon, the Chitian Imperial Son was blasted apart by Ye Chen.
Immediately, Ye Chen spat out a millstone, simple and ancient in its Great Dao aura. It was a Martial Dao Millstone condensed from his essence, spirit, and will. Though not a physical object, it was far more terrifying than a real Dao weapon, for it contained his invincible Martial Dao will, capable of destroying everything in the world.
The Chitian Imperial Son could not escape at all. All his blood mist and soul were seized by Ye Chen through an inconceivable Martial Dao method—a manifestation of his flesh body having evolved to an extremely high level.
Immediately, this mass of blood mist containing everything of the Chitian Imperial Son was cast into the Martial Dao Millstone. The millstone began grinding continuously.
The Chitian Imperial Son let out miserable screams as his soul was constantly ground away, his true spirit continuously annihilated.
"You cannot kill me! Otherwise, when my Emperor Father descends in wrath, the entire Southern Wasteland will not be able to withstand it!"
Even at this moment, the Chitian Imperial Son had not forgotten to threaten, invoking his Emperor Father, the Chitian Emperor Ancestor.
But how could this frighten Ye Chen? When Ye Chen had met the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor, another of the Southern Wasteland's Giants, he had not felt the slightest reverence, let alone fear.
Boom—
After a while, the Chitian Imperial Son was completely ground to nothingness. All his flesh and blood, soul fragments, and most importantly, his true spirit were all ground into emptiness, completely refined within the Martial Dao Millstone.
The Martial Dao Millstone returned to Ye Chen's body.
Instantly, Ye Chen's entire body glowed with radiant light. Because the Martial Dao Millstone had refined all the essence of the Chitian Imperial Son—the entirety of an Imperial Son-level Divine King—it had become nourishment for the evolution of his flesh body.
In that moment, Ye Chen's flesh body sublimated once more, advancing a step further, becoming even more powerful.
