Four Extremities Connecting to Sage Style!
Ye Chen unfurled the Four Extremities of Heaven and Earth. Instantly, a Green Dragon appeared to his left, a White Tiger to his right, a Vermilion Bird above, and a Black Tortoise below. Four holy spirits that had opened the heavens and cleaved the earth manifested.
A terrifying power of attack and conquest was displayed upon the mortal world!
Each of the four great holy spirits was entwined with the origin forces of earth, water, fire, and wind—the fundamental powers of heaven and earth. They were only three zhang in size, yet they were vivid and real, containing a vast, heaven-shaking aura. It was as if the four holy spirits of the Mythical Era had descended. This expanse of the firmament was being pressed down, causing everyone's expressions to change in shock and fear.
Roar— Growl—
Screech— Hiss—
The Green Dragon let out a long cry, the White Tiger roared, the Vermilion Bird shrieked, and the Black Tortoise hissed. The four holy spirits charged towards the assembled overlords, as if they were extensions of Ye Chen himself. They attacked, with the four origin forces of earth, water, fire, and wind all erupting forth, shattering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The overlords immediately resisted, joining forces to strike back and block the might of the four holy spirits. However, acting in haste, they were unable to destroy the holy spirits, and their expressions changed once more.
These holy spirits clearly possessed power comparable to the invincible ninth heaven. No single overlord could handle them; it required two or three joining hands to deal with them.
This also shocked everyone. Just this one move alone was enough to make people's expressions change, and the true body had not even made a move yet.
"This lord will test you."
From the starry void, a powerhouse who dominated the ninth heaven walked forth. He was a peerless expert at the ninth level of the Saint Vault Realm, his blood energy vigorous, even stronger than the masters of immortal forces and the ancient recluses.
"It's the previous generation's old emperor of the Xia Kingdom! I didn't expect him to come too."
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. The previous generation's old emperor of the Xia Kingdom had not actually passed away. Moreover, he wasn't very old—only a little over fifteen hundred years old, still several hundred years away from the two-thousand-year lifespan limit. Therefore, his blood energy was still considered vigorous.
His appearance now surprised many. They all knew well that this old-generation emperor was extremely powerful, even stronger than the current emperor. He was a peerless expert with one foot already in the Reincarnation realm.
"Imperial Father!"
"Your Imperial Majesty!"
The current emperor and princes of the Xia Kingdom spoke respectfully. The emergence of this old emperor, at the pinnacle of the ninth level of the Saint Vault, immediately made them feel much more at ease.
Even Ye Chen looked at him at this moment.
"Truly worthy of being the legendary Battle Saint King, you are indeed powerful. But this old man also wishes to see just how powerful you really are."
It must be said that this old emperor of the Xia Kingdom was truly formidable. With each step he took, it was as if he were treading upon the very fabric of heaven and earth, carrying a powerful Dao and its patterns. Furthermore, wisps of purple qi spread out, soaring into the sky, condensing into True Dragons that crossed the void, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they charged towards Ye Chen.
Such an attack would force even ordinary overlords to retreat. Each purple qi True Dragon could likely contend with an ordinary Saint.
Yet Ye Chen merely took a light step forward. In that instant, it was as if a hundred thousand volcanoes erupted within his body, or as if the divine furnace of the heavenly realms had overturned. With a deafening roar, boundless golden light completely exploded.
Boom—
His body was like a furnace. Golden blood energy exploded, filling the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, permeating the six directions and eight wildernesses. The supreme and most potent blood energy of the Saint Body erupted, dyeing this entire stretch of starry void a brilliant, dazzling gold.
The world was shocked. This blood energy was too overwhelmingly powerful, simply unprecedented. The entire firmament rumbled and roared, massive spatial fissures appearing everywhere.
It was said that the Battle Sacred Body was the number one forbidden battle physique throughout the ages. That statement was indeed not wrong. Such vigorous blood energy, filling the firmament, far surpassed anything below the Saint Treasury Realm, even comparable to existences like Heavenly Kings.
Was this the true manifestation of the Battle Sacred Body's combat power?
Before that multitude of purple qi True Dragons could even get close to Ye Chen, they were submerged by the vast, brilliant golden blood energy. It was like an endless sea of golden divine flames, engulfing the entire firmament, boundless and limitless.
All the overlords felt their hearts tremble, a sense of invincibility arising within them.
The old emperor of the Xia Kingdom was the same, his heart trembling. This blood energy was too potent, far, far stronger than theirs.
But at this moment, he was also filled with fervor.
He was one who pursued longevity, who sought immortality. Although he still had over four hundred years before reaching his lifespan limit, he prepared for the future and also wished to break through the shackles of mortality to inquire about immortality.
At this moment, he saw hope in Ye Chen. That supreme blood energy, coupled with the forbidden inheritance, filled him with fervor and also with desire.
He strode forward, his aura rising steadily, surpassing all the overlords, even stronger than the ancient recluses. With a flick of his sleeve, a thousand-zhang-long purple-gold divine dragon appeared, carrying the noble aura of heaven and earth, appearing majestic and noble. It swept towards Ye Chen to attack, and his grand voice proclaimed, "Hand over the inheritance of the Forbidden Lineage, and I may spare your life."
Ye Chen sneered coldly. With a single slap of his large hand, that purple-gold divine dragon was sent flying. Countless dragon scales shattered, blood splattering—that was all true Dao essence. He said, "I don't know where you get your confidence from."
The old emperor of the Xia Kingdom said coldly, "You are indeed powerful, and I am not your match. But just how long can you last? Can you truly remain eternal? The more powerful you are, the more severe the drain on your divine power. I believe it won't be long before you completely exhaust your divine power, revert to your original state, or become even weaker."
The many powerhouses were startled, now understanding.
The Battle Saint King was indeed peerless and invincible, but he couldn't possibly be eternally invincible. Just as the old emperor of the Xia Kingdom said, the more powerful he was, the more terrifying the drain on his power.
If it were his peak state from his previous life, that would be one thing. But at this moment, he was merely forcibly gathering a breath of vital essence for a full recovery. It simply couldn't last for long.
The Primordial Female Saint Lord's expression changed. The overlords, however, all had brilliant gleams in their eyes, laughing heartily and sneering, "Battle Saint King, the old emperor speaks true. Your limit has arrived. There is only death for you."
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, but at this moment, his aura grew even more powerful. His divine power continued to erupt as he took a step, charging directly in front of that peerless old emperor. He threw a punch, blasting apart heaven and earth, displaying a peerless power of attack.
The old emperor's expression changed. Although Ye Chen seemed to be at the end of his rope, he was still terrifyingly formidable.
He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a silver, radiant divine shield. It was forged from true Reflecting Snow Divine Essence, imprinted with the patterns of his Great Dao, extremely sturdy. Combat power below the Heavenly King level could hardly truly destroy this divine shield.
Boom—
A mass of divine radiance exploded. The old emperor was sent flying, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. That punch was shockingly fearsome. Its terrifying force had actually passed right through the divine shield and struck his body, breaking several of his bones and tendons.
Moreover, that divine shield forged from Reflecting Snow Divine Essence actually bore a clear, deep fist imprint, deeply embedded into the shield.
The power of a single punch was actually terrifying to such an extent!
"Even if it's the end of the road, it's still enough to kill you."
Ye Chen charged straight forward, brandishing that divine fist capable of pressing down all eras of time and space. He swung it continuously, attacking, tearing apart heaven and earth as he killed towards the old emperor.
