The great battle raged on. The Primordial Demon God was on a campaign, sweeping across three thousand li, facing a thousand troops and ten thousand horses alone, challenging them single-handedly.
The final outcome shook all the native inhabitants of the Gu Lan Continent. This figure, who appeared to be a Heaven's Pride of the younger generation, was simply terrifyingly formidable. He actually slaughtered a Saint in a bloody rampage, swept through numerous powerhouses, directly cleaved that Saint in two, and butchered the entire pursuing army of thousands. This shocked the entire world, causing a massive sensation.
Unprecedented, the man was like a Demon God, invincible, inspiring fear and awe in all hearts.
On another front, the Sea God King, also an Immortal True King, was not inferior to others. He too was on a campaign. Vast oceans flooded heaven and earth, sea dragons attacked, divine ships traversed the skies, and a bright moon hung high—a world-shaking phenomenon.
He was supremely powerful. As an Immortal True King, he was campaigning against Saints, slaying Saints while going against the natural order, and sweeping through the many experts from the Gu Lan Continent who had pursued him. The vast sea he had conjured was evidently dyed red, with corpses floating one after another, creating a terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Each of them alone held back the other supreme powerhouses of the Gu Lan Continent.
During this period, several other supremely powerful figures appeared and disappeared, all suspected to be peerless Heaven's Prides like Immortal True Kings. They also took action, causing quite a stir.
By this time, the cultivators of the Gu Lan Continent had truly witnessed the fearsomeness of the powerhouses from the myriad realms. It wasn't just the older generation; even the younger generation was excessively powerful. At the very least, the contemporary younger generation of the Gu Lan Holy Church could not compare.
The great battle continued to cause a sensation. Although the Myriad Domains powerhouses also suffered casualties facing the Gu Lan Continent's powerhouses, the losses were negligible by comparison.
Because on the Gu Lan Continent alone, no fewer than seventeen Saints had perished—a considerable number.
Even the two immortal empires, Gu Country and Lan Country, had lost three Saints. A Saint Elder of the Gu Lan Holy Church, while on a campaign, was ruthlessly suppressed and killed by a Saint Lord-level figure among the Myriad Domains powerhouses, his blood staining the sky. This caused a great tremor throughout the human domain of the Gu Lan Continent, chilling all cultivators to the bone.
The visitors from another world were terrifyingly astonishing.
Finally, even the Gu Lan Holy Church was thoroughly enraged. That supreme Heavenly God, high above and overlooking the world, was angered and personally took action.
Naturally, he needed to suppress the Holy Church and could not dispatch his true body, only sending forth an incarnation.
But even so, it was terrifyingly astonishing, surpassing the Myriad Domains powerhouses.
The Holy Church Heavenly God traversed every corner of the human domain of the Gu Lan Continent with astonishing speed and absurdly formidable power.
Within a single day, nine Saints from the myriad realms were suppressed and killed by him, their blood dyeing entire mountain ranges. Even powerful Ancient Saints were no match; all were bloodily suppressed and killed with a mere gesture from the Holy Church's supreme Heavenly God, utterly invincible.
Even a Saint Lord was killed among them, causing an uproar, for he was the deputy master of an immortal Sacred Land, with the potential to become its true master. He was also extremely powerful, even wielding the Sacred Land's Heavenly King weapon in battle. Yet it was futile; he was no match. Ultimately, he was forcefully suppressed and killed by the Holy Church Heavenly God during the great battle.
The heads of these suppressed and killed Saints were all hung on the towering city gates of Gu Lan Holy City, built by the Gu Lan Holy Church at the center of the human domain, as a warning to the Myriad Domains powerhouses, demonstrating the true might of the Gu Lan Holy Church.
From then on, all the Myriad Domains powerhouses were intimidated, their ferocious aura somewhat restrained.
Even fierce individuals like the Primordial Demon God and the Sea God King began to conceal their tracks from this day onward, making them difficult to trace.
Naturally, because they bore the Holy Church's tracking light, they could not completely hide within the human domain. In the end, they all retreated, moving far away from the human domain and hiding in those undeveloped regions.
These regions contained various dangers, so the powerhouses of the Gu Lan Continent did not truly pursue them there, harboring deep apprehension.
Naturally, not everyone was being hunted, such as Ye Chen.
Because he knew that the so-called tracking light was merely an application of Faith Power and also a familiarity with the origin of heaven and earth.
The people of the Gu Lan Continent were, after all, living beings born within this heaven and earth, their origin in harmony with it. The powerhouses from the Myriad Domains had somewhat different origins and did not worship the Gu Lan Holy Church, so they could be tracked and identified.
But all this did not include Ye Chen. Not to mention his own research into Faith Power, the profound technique "Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth" within the Battle Saint Art was one of the supreme profound divine abilities capable of altering origin aura. Ye Chen could shield his own origin aura and transform it into one similar to the living beings of this heaven and earth.
Moreover, he was familiar with Faith Power, so even when the tracking light was about to fall upon him, it was dissipated.
However, only he could dissipate it, and the profound technique Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth could only be performed by those who cultivated the Battle Saint Art.
Naturally, the others were true heroes among the Myriad Domains people. Perhaps they could not dissipate the tracking light like Ye Chen, but they could suppress that light. Unless the Holy Church's law enforcers wielded special secret treasures and got close enough, generally speaking, it was impossible to discover their traces.
However, after this incident, the Myriad Domains powerhouses completely went into hiding, no longer daring to be as arrogant as before.
The main reason was fear of the Holy Church Heavenly God, the most terrifying great god of slaughter—who would dare provoke him?
From then on, the Holy Church finally calmed down somewhat, but the pursuit of the Myriad Domains powerhouses never ceased.
However, Ye Chen paid no heed to all this, because at this time, he was heading to the most magnificent Holy City built by the Gu Lan Holy Church at the center of the continent to investigate whether the true legacy of the September Great Power existed.
Although the tracking light on the other Heavenly Gate Saints had been dissipated by Ye Chen using Faith Power, they did not have the assistance of Ye Chen's Stealing Heaven and Changing Earth profound technique. In the Holy City, their different heaven and earth aura could easily be detected, so they could not follow. They could only urge Ye Chen to be careful and to send a message immediately if in danger; they would all come to support him.
Ye Chen nodded. Although his expression was grave facing the Gu Lan Holy Church, he was not exactly afraid, because after all, he possessed quite a few hidden cards.
He had Tianhuang, Wang Chen's Great Dao Ancient Weapon, secret treasures refined by the Heavenly Gate Master, tokens from the two ancient Great Powers, Flame God Venerable One and Saint Feather Venerable One, and even the long-unmanifested Human Emperor Tower. Therefore, he had no fear at all.
Not long after, he traversed the domains of several major powers and soon arrived at the ancient city built by the Gu Lan Holy Church at the very center of the human domain.
