Boom—
The Severing Heaven Finger was unleashed, one of the supreme divine techniques within the Battle Saint Art, and also the most powerful divine ability he had become famous for in the Void Heaven Domain in this lifetime.
His right index finger slowly pointed out, then manifested an astonishing dharma manifestation divine ability. A thick, massive finger appeared, crossing the sky like a colossal pillar holding up the heavens, standing imposingly as it rumbled forward, filling the firmament.
The golden finger shimmered with brilliant golden light, and endless, mysterious runes were inscribed upon the giant finger, though a radiant glow concealed all of this as it pointed toward Ye Gucheng.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color, terrifying divine might accompanied it, and the entire sky seemed to be pressed down as the void twisted wildly, an utterly astonishing sight.
Even before the massive golden finger was fully extended, boundless pressure radiated out in layers, suffocating everyone, even the various kings.
Moreover, the giant finger erupted with an unprecedented, vast martial will that soared through the ninth heaven. Vaguely, one could glimpse a supreme Great Emperor who dominated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths standing between heaven and earth.
This finger was a finger pointed by a Great Emperor!
Boom—
Vast stretches of land beneath them rapidly split open, spreading with thick cracks that crisscrossed the entire area, the will shaking the world.
Crack—
Suddenly, fine cracks appeared on the finger Ye Chen had extended, blood traces surfaced, and even the finger bone showed fissures. He himself grunted, and blood actually trickled from the corner of his mouth.
This scene was noticed by others, causing great astonishment. Had the Great Demon King Yue been injured?
That was the terrifying backlash force of the Battle Saint Art.
It must be known how powerful Ye Chen's current divine body was—more than twice as strong as his former Human Yuan Golden Body at its peak, a True King divine body. Ordinary Divine Transformation Dao weapons couldn't harm his divine body in the slightest. Yet now, he still couldn't withstand the backlash of the Battle Saint Art. One could imagine just how domineering the backlash of the Battle Saint Art truly was.
However, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he continued to slowly point forward. The giant finger spanned the long sky, radiating an unprecedented and terrifying martial will. Even the various kings in the distance trembled, sensing that peerless martial will that seemed utterly irresistible.
"What a terrifying finger! I heard that in the past, the Great Demon King Yue relied on this finger to defeat the Donghua Clan's King Hao Yi. But now, its execution is countless times more powerful than before. It's unstoppable."
The various kings were extremely horrified. They all believed that if this finger landed on them, it would instantly reduce them to dust.
"This finger!"
Ye Gucheng's eyes suddenly erupted with blazing light because he felt that this finger, while terrifying, was also immensely powerful, and it carried a familiar sensation, reminiscent of a certain legendary peerless divine technique.
But that aura was concealed by the opponent's secret technique, making it impossible to recognize.
Yet the sword in his hand grew even more terrifying. Drops of blood bloomed with vast bloody light, spreading and churning, accompanied by endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with human bones standing erect.
The Dripping Blood Sword and the Severing Heaven Finger collided abruptly!
Boom—
World-destroying light blossomed!
Two peerless divine abilities erupted, with boundless might spreading out, exploding overwhelmingly. Nearby demon mountain nests were long since shattered and swept away, countless alien race demons turned to ash, leaving nothing behind.
The earth cracked with huge fissures that rapidly spread throughout the area. All the kings rushed into the distance at the first moment because even from afar, they felt the destructive Dao might erupting and needed to leave quickly, or they might very well be affected.
The other young powerhouses also retreated swiftly, but some who weren't fast enough were struck head-on by the shockwaves. They were immediately struck as if by lightning, countless bones in their bodies shattered, blood flying everywhere. Some even disintegrated into dust while fleeing.
The rumbling sound was unceasing. This vast area spanning dozens of li was flattened, with over a dozen demon mountains shattered and countless alien race demons following into oblivion.
Even the sturdy pyramid altar trembled violently. If not for the infinite weight of the three-zhang ancient coffin pressing down to offset it, and the altar's extraordinary nature, it would have long been reduced to nothing.
Finally, everything settled. The two young True Kings stood facing each other, each standing in the long sky, facing each other from a distance, their gazes calm.
The various kings in the distance watched everything here nervously, observing the two opposing Immortal True Kings with curiosity—who had won and who had lost?
Pfft—
Ye Gucheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, and the war sword in his hand began to shatter inch by inch. His complexion pale, his figure unsteady, he nearly fell from the void to the ground. In this confrontation, he had actually been bested by Ye Chen.
This shocked many. A True King from the imperial clan Ye family had appeared, yet he was no match for the Great Demon King Yue. Just how powerful had Yue become?
However, Ye Chen wasn't in great shape either. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, shimmering brilliantly, and the right index finger he had used to execute the Severing Heaven Finger had completely exploded. Even with the Divine King Rebirth Art adhering to the wound, it could only slowly repair because a domineering backlash force was at work, hindering the Divine King Rebirth Art's restoration.
But in a way, this was actually considered good, because only one finger had exploded. If it were back when he was still a king, executing the Severing Heaven Finger so fully would likely have caused his entire body to split and tear apart.
After all, the domineering backlash of the Battle Saint Art was peerlessly terrifying. Unless one possessed a Battle Sacred Body, that kind of peerless sacred physique, it simply couldn't be endured.
Ultimately, though, Ye Chen held a slight upper hand because he had executed the supreme divine technique created by the Battle Saint lineage's ancestral saint—a divine ability created by an Emperor and Sovereign. How could it not be powerful? Every move and every stance possessed the power to transform the ordinary into the miraculous.
What Ye Gucheng had executed was merely a supreme sword art created by a Great Power from ancient times. Naturally, it couldn't compare to a divine ability created by Emperors and Sovereigns. Ye Gucheng was fortunate to have only shattered his sword and suffered heavy injuries.
Witnessing this, the various kings couldn't help but sigh. As expected of the universally acknowledged Great Demon King Yue, he was truly powerful enough that even a True King was at a disadvantage against him, a great enemy to him.
Moreover, it must be known that this was a True King prodigy from a supreme imperial clan, making it even more extraordinary.
Of course, they all understood that Ye Gucheng was merely slightly outmatched. Truly speaking, he was still very powerful, and neither had truly engaged in a life-and-death battle. Otherwise, many things would be different.
And Ye Gucheng surely mastered genuine Supreme One imperial divine techniques.
Ye Gucheng was very carefree, saying, "You've won by a small margin. Today, I won't contend with you for the spirit source and the Dragon Sturgeon."
