A terrifying ancient recluse had perished, annihilated directly by the Battle Saint King's Heaven-Shaking Palm, unable to harm him in the slightest even with the flames of Dao dissipation.
Three successive peerless powerhouses of the Zhao Kingdom had been suppressed and slain—from an overlord to a royal lord, and then to a terrifying ancient recluse—all were killed by the Battle Saint King with a single move, without exception.
Such a method of crushing like rotten wood deeply shocked every person present; it was simply peerlessly terrifying.
The Battle Saint King, true to his name, was the heaven-defying Supreme One of the Forbidden Lineage. Who could contend with him? At least within this star domain, he was unrivaled. Unless a Heavenly King emerged, who could stand against him?
Even the Primordial Female Saint Lord felt astonished. Although she had long known of her betrothed's peerless strength, seeing it again after so many years, even she felt inferior.
The other overlords and ancient recluses within the Tai Chu Sacred Land had originally sighed lightly and felt some dissatisfaction that their Saint Lord was devoted to a man who had been considered dead. But after truly witnessing the fearsome power of this Supreme One of the Forbidden Lineage, even they couldn't help but be shocked.
Afterwards, they all felt genuine relief. Only such a generation-defying prodigy could be worthy of the Primordial Female Saint Lord, whose elegance overshadowed the world and whose beauty outshone all under heaven.
After the battle, having slain three great powerhouses of the Zhao Kingdom consecutively, crushing them like rotten wood and remaining unmatched, the Battle Saint King's generation-defying invincibility was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.
Perhaps the news of three peerless powerhouses being slain would shake the myriad realms if it spread, driving the Immortal Empire of Zhao into a frenzy. But now, the Battle Saint King's invincible might deeply intimidated every person present, making them feel genuine pressure.
Then, the Battle Saint King's gaze swept over the various overlords—those who had previously taken action against the Primordial Female Saint Lord. Among them were powerful figures like the Canglan Saint Lord, masters of true immortal forces. But under his gaze, they all retreated, their hearts trembling after sensing that sharp, boundless, ferocious killing intent.
The scenes from earlier still clearly floated in everyone's minds. His imposing might grew increasingly majestic. Who could contend with him?
"Who among you is next?"
The Battle Saint King spoke slowly, his tone very plain, but the meaning of his words was world-shaking, as if announcing the death sentence for the next person, making all the overlords' hearts palpitate with fear.
They were all truly great figures of overlord level. When had they ever encountered such a life-and-death crisis threat? They were supreme powerhouses who required the worship of many cultivators and commoners.
But before the revived Battle Saint King, they were like commoners facing the supreme Emperors and Sovereigns, needing to submit.
The Canglan Saint Lord forced himself to remain calm and suddenly shouted coldly, "Everyone, wake up! We cannot be threatened by him like this. Although the Battle Saint King is powerful, he has only forcibly gathered his essence energy to revive. He can only maintain it for a moment. Once that passes, we can deal with him at ease."
The Battle Saint King nodded, smiling slightly at him. "Thank you. I'd almost forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
He reached out and made a grasping motion. The bloody mist from the pulverized remains of Zhao Wu and the Zhao Kingdom's royal lord, who had been suppressed and slain earlier by a palm and a finger, was sucked over. Then, a golden, glazed divine flame appeared, instantly burning over it, refining it.
In less than a moment, it was refined into two thumb-sized Blood Pills, containing the life essence of the overlord and the royal lord. Ye Chen inhaled them, and his aura immediately became much more vigorous, no longer continuing to weaken.
This scene made the Canglan Saint Lord almost have the urge to slap himself. Damn it, what had he said? He had actually reminded this fearsome monster. The other overlords all looked at him with unfriendly expressions, feeling the urge to kill him.
But at this moment, they all had to take action. Otherwise, being killed one by one by the Battle Saint King would be the greatest trouble.
From the crowns of their heads, more than a dozen overlords each erupted with great dragons of blood energy, filling the sky, penetrating the heavens, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. They all launched their attacks.
"Once you have seen the ocean, no other water will do!"
The Canglan Saint Lord made his move, unleashing a peerless divine ability the moment he acted. A vast, magnificent ocean flooded the starry sky—it was a domain. Every drop of seawater was actually as heavy as ten thousand jun, pressing down on Ye Chen overwhelmingly.
"Falling Stars!"
The overlord from the Blood Glow Valley let out a long roar. In the sky above, suddenly appeared one massive star after another. Although they couldn't compare to real stars, they all circulated with majestic stellar power. They all descended from the sky, transforming into a dazzling meteor shower crashing down.
"Great Realm Suppression!"
Another overlord was executing another astonishing secret technique. Layer upon layer of great worlds manifested, up to five layers. Although they were all illusory, not truly existing, they all overflowed with powerful world force, descending from the sky to press down on Ye Chen.
...
One overlord after another joined forces to attack, a total of fourteen. It could be called an invincible lineup of supreme power. There were even ancient recluses wanting to join in. One great dragon of blood energy after another penetrated the heavens. The scene was terrifying, even more astonishing than when they dealt with the Primordial Female Saint Lord.
Let alone the attacks themselves, just the overflowing, surging Dao might from these overlords was enough to shock the world, shaking heaven and earth, rattling the sky. Who could contend with it?
A wave of destructive light surged forth. The sky shattered for dozens, even a hundred li. It was truly terrifying.
Even though the Battle Saint King was extremely powerful, suddenly facing so many overlord attacks was not feasible. But his movement technique was too mysterious. Before him, layer upon layer of illusory great worlds actually manifested.
His movements were ethereal, his figure illusory, as if traversing the great worlds of the myriad realms, transcending beyond the Three Realms, not within any intangible influence. The attacks of the various overlords simply couldn't affect him.
This scene stunned everyone. An ancient recluse exclaimed in shock, "It's the Realm-Treading Secret Technique!"
During the Mythical Era, there was a generation-defying movement technique divine ability that dazzled the mortal world, named the Realm-Treading Secret Technique. It was created by an invincible monarch, allowing one to traverse different planes of space and time, truly worthy of being called the world's ultimate speed.
Who could have imagined that the Battle Saint King could also master such ultimate speed and ghostly movement technique? It was truly shocking.
Originally, the Battle Saint King's combat power was already terrifyingly boundless. Coupled with such world's ultimate speed, who could contend with him? He was invincible throughout the world.
Ye Chen just charged before the various overlords. Then he smiled, but it made all the overlords' hearts turn cold with fear. He said, "Since you all insist on bullying the few with numbers, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He stepped forward. The supreme golden blood energy of his Battle Sacred Body exploded, flooding the starry sky, tearing apart heaven and earth.
Before him, holy spirit phantoms like the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise manifested. His terrifying aura climbed once more, as if he were a Supreme Great Emperor, launching his attack.
Boom—
The starry sky completely exploded!
