Heavenly Roc King coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, filled with shock. Although he knew Ye Chen was sufficiently powerful, he never expected him to be this strong—he was simply no match for him.
How could this be?
Originally, he had absolute confidence because he possessed the ancestral blood of the Golden-Winged Roc and was in the Saint Treasury Realm. Even if he encountered a Battle Saint King of the same realm, he would have no fear. But now, the difference was clear at a glance.
"Is this the so-called arrogance of your ancestral blood?" Ye Chen shook his head. "To me, it's utterly weak, not worth a single blow."
He spoke calmly, yet his calm words exposed Heavenly Roc King's weakness, making the latter extremely embarrassed.
Ye Chen wanted to continue his attack, but at that moment, a mass of alien race Great Power essence instantly shot forth before him.
Without a second thought, Ye Chen directly grabbed this mass of alien race Great Power essence and couldn't help but chuckle with a shake of his head: "I went through great pains to pursue you, never expecting to obtain you without the slightest effort."
"Hmph! What do you mean 'without the slightest effort'? Battle Saint King, hand over that essence immediately!"
Instantly, the various Saints who had been watching coldly erupted into action. Everyone soared into the sky, no longer showing any consideration for his strength, and charged forward directly.
With the essence appearing, who would still have any regard for anything? Seize it first, then talk.
The shouts here shook heaven and earth, figures were everywhere—the human race of Gu Lan Continent, the Sin Tribes, the Myriad Domains faction, lingering spirits—all the Saints were engaged in a great battle, all vying for the Great Power realm essence. The fight was extremely fierce.
Vaguely, Ye Chen seemed to catch glimpses of other Young True King figures, hidden in the background, very mysterious.
But at this moment, his situation was extremely difficult. He was targeted by all the powerhouses, with no fewer than sixteen or seventeen Saints alone, and among them were genuine Saint Lord-level figures. This was because everyone knew he possessed the most essence.
Ye Chen was indeed very powerful, but facing so many powerhouses, even after activating the Battle God Seal and reaching his peak in the Saint Treasury Realm, it wasn't enough. Too many powerhouses were charging at him, all attacking him.
Unless he could reach the Heavenly Pass starry realm, but clearly, he couldn't yet.
Acting decisively, Ye Chen's five fingers transformed into a palm blade, directly slicing the head-sized mass of alien race Great Power essence in half. He forcefully shot forth the other half, attracting over half of the Saints. The remaining half of the Saints still charged at him, but at least it reduced his pressure considerably.
Moreover, other masses of alien race Great Power essence that hadn't been seized shot forth.
"Kill!"
On the Divine Battlefield, the great battle was intense. Various magical instruments flew about, cold light dazzling, treasure banners fluttered, primordial beasts roared, and powerhouses were as numerous as clouds.
The many powerhouses of the Sin Tribes charged forward. Although they couldn't all be Saints, there were Demi-Saints leading battalions of battle-hardened elite troops into the fray. The various powerhouses united, combining formations, also confronting Saints.
The powerhouses from the human territories of Gu Lan Continent were naturally not lacking either. Similarly, armies from the three immortal forces—the Gu Lan Holy Church, the Ancient Kingdom, and the Lan Kingdom—charged out, supporting the various Saints on this side.
It could be said that this Divine Battlefield had long become a chaotic land. Blood splattered from time to time. If not for the Divine Battlefield itself and the Dao marks left by peerless powerhouses suppressing it, with the intense battles of the various powerhouses, this ancient land would have been destroyed dozens or even hundreds of times over.
Everywhere on the battlefield was a killing ground. Many perished, corpses littering the ground, crimson blood staining the earth—an unprecedented level of carnage.
Ye Chen alone faced the joint pursuit of over ten Saints, among whom were genuine Saint Lord figures.
However, Ye Chen was unafraid because he mastered the Realm-Treading Secret Technique, as if traversing the myriad realms. Layer upon layer of illusory great worlds manifested. When executed within the Saint Treasury Realm, it was truly the world's ultimate speed. Within the Saint Treasury Realm, few could truly match him, let alone surpass him—utterly impossible.
Moreover, he was also attacking, wielding his invincible sacred fist, unleashing the Heaven-Shaking Palm, pointing with the Severing Heaven Finger, and even employing his Human King body simultaneously. Facing the attacks of the various powerhouses, he not only evaded them but even launched counterattacks.
Before long, he targeted a Saint from the Sin Tribes, displaying his ultimate divine speed. In an instant, a Heaven-Suppressing Seal descended, blasting apart heaven and earth, slaying the Saint.
Subsequently, he again wielded his invincible sacred fist, its fist intent peerless, slaying another Saint who had attacked him earlier, this one from an immortal force of the myriad realms.
Although he was just one person, his strength was enough to make everyone wary. He was the ultimate Saint-killer. Several Saints on this Divine Battlefield had perished by his hand—a heavy toll of lives, an astonishing battle record.
But even so, quite a few powerhouses still pursued him, and genuine Saint Lord-level figures even took action.
There was a Holy Elder from the Gu Lan Holy Church, a Saint Lord from the Sin Tribes, and naturally a Saint Lord from the myriad realms faction as well. Three Saint Lords from the three sides appeared, jointly pursuing Ye Chen.
If not for him mastering the world's ultimate speed, making him truly invincible within the Saint Treasury Realm in the mortal world, he would have been in grave danger this time.
After all, no matter how strong he was, even with the aid of the Battle God Seal, he had only newly stepped into the Saint Treasury Realm. He could be stronger than many Saints, but that did not include Saint Lord-level figures.
Those who could become Saint Lord-level powerhouses—which one wasn't a true hero among men? They were genuinely powerful, with mana vast as the sea, capable of shaking heaven and earth as they pursued Ye Chen.
Finally, a Saint Lord-level powerhouse from the Heavenly Gate appeared, intercepting one Saint Lord. But there were still two Saint Lord-level figures pursuing him relentlessly.
Moreover, both Saint Lords possessed other secret treasures, especially the Saint Lord from the Gu Lan Holy Church faction, who even utilized a secret treasure bestowed by their Heavenly God, stabilizing the void and sealing the heavens and earth, preventing Ye Chen from escaping.
"Hmph!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly. The ten layers of divine nature halos around him fully expanded. An immortal, immortal aura flowed within, mist swirling, displaying extraordinary might. It briefly dispelled the restraint on heaven and earth, allowing him to shift horizontally away.
But at this moment, the two Saint Lord-level figures had long since charged forward, each slapping out a palm, striking Ye Chen from a distance.
*Pfft—*
A mouthful of blood was directly coughed up. Even someone as powerful as the current Ye Chen could not withstand a Saint Lord's attack and remain unscathed.
But fortunately, he was a young generation's supreme of the Tenth Heaven and possessed the ultimate Battle Sacred Body. Otherwise, any other ordinary Saint would have been unable to withstand a Saint Lord's attack with just coughing up blood—they would likely have been killed in one blow.
"You forced me into this."
*Boom—*
Amidst the icy words, a pillar of divine radiance suddenly erupted from the crown of Ye Chen's head, connecting heaven and earth. Within it, an ancient, mottled mirror floated, radiating the ancient, majestic aura of a Heavenly King!
