"Attack. Capture them alive if possible; if not, kill them outright."
One of the Holy Elders spoke coldly, showing no mercy as he swung the Holy Sect's scepter in his hand, unleashing beams of slaughterous light imbued with formidable holy might and laws. They shattered heaven and earth as they shot toward one of the targets—precisely the Primordial Demon God.
"You talk too much."
A voice, indifferent and ruthless, rang out. It was the Primordial Demon God. He swung his Doomsday Heavenly Halberd to meet the attack, erupting with supreme power that swept forth with overwhelming demonic majesty. Demonic light flooded the skies, truly like a peerless Demon God emerging into the world.
He was immensely powerful, the reincarnated soul of a True King from a past generation who had cultivated to this level. Having comprehended both his past and present lives, he had nearly fused the attainments of two lifetimes. Even as a Demi-Saint, his strength was astonishing.
The scepter and the Doomsday Heavenly Halberd collided, exploding with vast celestial radiance that annihilated the firmament.
Yet the Primordial Demon God did not retreat in the slightest. On the contrary, he pressed forward, continuously swinging his Doomsday Heavenly Halberd to unleash beams of world-ending light, his demonic might shaking the mortal realm.
On another front, the Heavenly Roc King had gone completely berserk. Wielding the Heavenly Roc War Spear, he faced a Holy Elder with arrogant ferocity, yet he also unleashed the supreme mysteries of the Eighteen Heavenly Roc Forms. His offensive power suddenly surged, combined with his Heavenly Roc movement technique. Transforming into a streak of golden light that traversed the sky, he appeared supremely formidable.
Though there were only six of them, each was a true supreme powerhouse among the younger generation of the Myriad Domains. Every one was a Heaven's Pride prodigy, capable of crossing great realms to challenge Saints, rivaling them, and even suppressing and slaying them. Astonishingly, these six were fighting seven Holy Elders without falling behind, their strength truly terrifying.
It must be understood that although these Holy Elders were all Saints, as elders of the Holy Sect, each was absolutely powerful, stronger than ordinary Saints. Yet at this moment, they found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
Not far away, the crown princes of the Ancient Kingdom and Lan Kingdom, along with another young Demi-Saint, also wished to join the fray. But after witnessing the true strength of the six, they couldn't help but pale.
To challenge Saints while crossing realms—this level of combat prowess made them deeply wary. Although they were also Demi-Saints, they would find it difficult to face a true Saint-level expert across a great realm, let alone opponents like the Holy Elders. They were simply no match.
Was this the true strength of the young prodigies from the otherworldly realms?
It was indeed terrifying enough to make them feel a sense of awe.
Boom—
Ye Chen strode forward, actively confronting a Holy Elder. Without a word, he swung his saintly fist, carrying vast golden blood energy that surged forth, setting the heavens ablaze. It was simply unimaginably terrifying, tearing through the firmament.
That Holy Elder's face showed shock, then turned grave. He did not dare be negligent in the slightest. A Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand, tracing out beams of holy light to collide with the attack.
With a deafening roar, the Holy Elder was forced to stagger backward. The Measuring Ruler actually trembled and dimmed, having suffered a terrifying blow.
Then, Ye Chen pointed with his Severing Heaven Finger. A colossal divine finger materialized, rumbling as it filled the entire vast sky, pressing down toward the Holy Elder.
Boom—
The might of the Battle Saint Art was sufficient to slay an ordinary Saint in a single strike. Yet the Holy Elder swung his Measuring Ruler and, at this moment, managed to block it with a thunderous impact. Though his figure was sent flying back violently, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, and cracks appeared on the Measuring Ruler.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Holy Elder couldn't help but take a deep look at Ye Chen and sigh softly. "As expected of the Battle Saint King. Truly, the name matches the man—powerful enough."
Even he had heard the thunderous reputation of the Battle Saint King from the Divine Battlefield—a terrifying figure who had slain several Saints. His strength was absolutely astonishing and fearsome, making others wary.
Ye Chen said, "Since you know my identity, I have no choice but to ruthlessly kill you."
As he spoke, he attacked again. With a whoosh, he traversed the firmament, instantly appearing before his opponent. He directly executed the Suppressing Heaven Seal from the Battle Saint Art. A golden, radiant divine seal materialized in the sky. He grasped it and slammed it down with overwhelming force, possessing absolutely terrifying power to slaughter Saints.
The Holy Elder snorted coldly, also forming a divine seal with his hands. He raised his palm and blasted it out.
Boom—
A fearsome collision erupted between them, annihilating vast swathes of void.
Although Ye Chen was a young prodigy from the otherworldly realms, watched with hostile intent, his combat prowess, when fully unleashed, was truly terrifying and peerlessly formidable. He forced the opposing Holy Elder into rapid retreat, continuously shedding blood.
His majestic aura was displayed without reservation!
"Although you've learned my identity, it's a pity this Holy City cannot keep us. We will kill all of you before leaving," Ye Chen stated indifferently, genuine killing intent stirring as he swung his Heaven-Shaking Hand and soared into the sky.
"Is that so?" Although the Holy Elder was coughing blood, his expression remained equally indifferent. He smiled faintly. "A pity. In this Holy City, even someone like you cannot prevail. We all know you possess a secret treasure capable of summoning a supreme existence beyond the Heavenly King level. But the Supreme Heavenly God has declared that such beings are not permitted to descend here. Moreover, within the Holy City, he is invincible, so he fears nothing."
Ye Chen's expression shifted slightly. If that were true, wouldn't he lose one of his greatest trump cards?
He knew that one of his biggest trump cards was the protective treasures bestowed by two ancient Great Powers. At critical moments, they could summon a wisp of their supreme avatars, possessing combat power at the Great Power level. If they became ineffective, wouldn't they be rendered useless?
"Battle Saint King, what remains after your secret treasure loses its function?" that Holy Elder spoke coldly once more. And at this moment, three other Holy Elders actively stepped forward. Ten Holy Elders were about to take action, joining forces to suppress and slay the six peerless prodigies from the otherworldly realms.
"Today, we shall strangle all of you in the cradle!"
The ten Holy Elders advanced, encircling the six young Heaven's Prides and launching an absolute killing assault.
Even Ye Chen and the others faced a terrifying threat from the attack of ten Holy Elders, for each of these elders was no ordinary individual, absolutely stronger than typical Saints.
"It's nothing. At most, we'll just kill all of you here."
One of the supreme prodigies from the Myriad Domains spoke. His figure was heroic and majestic. Earlier, a hazy dawn light had shrouded everything about him, making him appear mysterious, but now it dissipated.
Boom—
Suddenly, an unprecedented upheaval erupted in the distant horizon, originating from beyond the human territories. Shocking auras surged and rushed over, causing the winds and clouds to change color.
When they saw the direction, the expressions of all ten Holy Elders changed drastically, for that place was none other than the Abyssal Valley.
The Sin Tribe—
Had returned!
