A terrifying might of the Great Dao swept through all directions, shaking heaven and earth. The void continuously split open, one massive spatial rift after another tearing through the cosmos.
The two supreme Heaven's Pride talents of the younger generation were contending, clashing. The power of their collisions surpassed that of Saint Realm overlords, seemingly on the verge of truly crushing the eternal firmament and destroying everything.
All the other powerful onlookers were shaken to their souls. Whether it was the Undying Young Master or the Battle Saint King, both were far too overwhelmingly powerful. Such divine might was simply terrifyingly astonishing—who could contend with them?
Boom—
The cosmos was annihilated, boundless celestial radiance bloomed magnificently, and finally, everything completely dissipated and vanished, leaving nothing behind.
The two supreme experts thus passed each other by. Their initial confrontation ended just like that, concluded so abruptly that the others hadn't truly reacted.
In fact, each had only made two moves, and it all happened in the blink of an eye, astonishingly fast. While everyone saw it clearly, they all understood this collision had been extraordinary.
The offensive power of both peerless Heaven's Pride talents could be called world-shaking, but it was far from a true life-and-death duel—merely a sparring exchange of a general nature.
It was just that both supreme Heaven's Pride talents were absurdly powerful, yet both had held back, with even more formidable trump cards yet to be revealed.
If it were a true life-and-death duel, it would be many times more terrifying.
Ye Chen stood unmoving like a mountain, his aura perpetually dominating heaven and earth, making everyone feel a terrifying sense of suffocation. Golden light shone brilliantly between his palm and fingers, as if immortal, supremely divine and sacred.
The Undying Young Master also had not retreated half a step, his imposing might not diminishing in the slightest. They faced each other, making the vast sky tremble.
Yet, upon closer inspection, one could see his palm and fingers were slightly spasming, with a trickle of blood seeping out—he was injured.
This shocked everyone at the Battle Saint King's invincibly powerful treasure body. In the collision, it was this Battle Saint King who had gained a slight upper hand, truly worthy of being called the number one forbidden battle physique of all time.
The Undying Young Master only gave Ye Chen a deep look before turning to leave, appearing very carefree, and ordered the others to leave with him.
"Young Master, absolutely not! This is a prime opportunity!"
A King urgently spoke up, full of anxiety. This was the best chance to slay the Battle Saint King; it absolutely must not be missed.
The Undying Young Master snorted coldly, causing that King to feel as if struck by lightning, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, filled with terror.
Immediately, no one dared to oppose anymore, falling silent in fear.
Ye Chen suddenly spoke: "Undying Young Master, you once said an ancient Great Power restrained an alien race Demon Sovereign, allowing the Ancient Human Emperor to arrive in time and suppress and slay him. Who was he?"
"A Great Power of the Battle Saint Lineage," the Undying Young Master slowly replied, causing both Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor to shudder.
Once, in that darkest of eras, an ancient Great Power of the Battle Saint lineage fought a battle, forcibly delaying an alien race Demon Sovereign, buying precious time for the Ancient Human Emperor.
Just imagining it revealed how difficult it must have been for that Battle Saint Great Power. Although he was a Great Power-level Battle Saint, peerless within the same realm, a Sovereign was countless times stronger than a Great Power. Throughout history, few have been born. Given how difficult it was even for the Human Sovereign of that era, one can glimpse the terror of a Sovereign.
Even a Battle Saint Great Power, the strongest battle physique of the Myriad Domains, could not truly fight across that gap. The disparity between those two realms was likely even greater than that between a Demigod and a Saint. How could there be a real battle?
It was only by relying on the Battle Saint Body's immunity to all laws that he could barely manage to delay the alien race Demon Sovereign. Any other ancient Great Power would likely have been suppressed and slain by the Demon Sovereign long ago.
The might of a Sovereign is peerless throughout the ages, the realm closest to Emperor and Sovereign. Like the Human Sovereign, they bear the title of Ancient Supreme, which speaks for itself.
The Undying Young Master's tone carried a hint of complexity. "Although we are of lineages with a generational feud, that battle in the dark era... the Great Power of the Battle Saint lineage indeed deserves the respect of the world. If not for him, an alien race Demon Sovereign might have escaped, which would have been a great calamity for the Myriad Domains. This place was his burial ground, his place of fall. Choosing this place originally was also to bury you, as a form of respect for your Battle Saint lineage."
Even the Undying Young Master of the feuding lineage felt this way. Though an enemy, he was still worthy of respect.
Ye Chen sighed softly. No wonder he had sensed a special resonance here. It was because a certain Great Power of the Battle Saint lineage had been buried here, his golden Saint's blood spilled, thus generating the resonance.
The void shattered. Finally, the Undying Young Master led all the powerful experts away in great strides, no longer surrounding and pursuing Ye Chen.
The Undying Young Master had his own martial will. He did not wish to kill Ye Chen through the despicable means of a group attack.
Although the two lineages were sworn enemies, he also wished to contend on equal footing, to truly slay Ye Chen with his own strength, to clarify his ambition on the path of the Human Sovereign, to prove his own invincible bearing, not through other means.
The Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain spanned nearly ten million li, barren with not a blade of grass. A million pitch-black mountain ranges stood under howling, sinister black winds, filled with gloom.
Legend said the alien race Demon Sovereign had not truly perished; a remnant soul remained here, stripping the vitality of mortals, hoping to revive. Thus, this place was sinister and demonic, capable of stripping the vitality of all living beings.
However, this was merely the outermost edge of the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, so it wasn't particularly dangerous. Even if it could strip vitality, with Ye Chen's strength, he could easily resist it.
Ye Chen paid his respects here, his gaze profound as he looked toward the deepest part of the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, as if he could see the Battle Saint lineage Great Power of yesteryear fighting a bloody battle against the alien race Demon Sovereign, desperately delaying until the invincible suppression of the Ancient Human Emperor.
Suddenly, he felt a chill emerge from the depths of his heart, his entire body breaking out in goosebumps. In a daze, he seemed to see a black shadow manifest. He shouted loudly, "Who is there?!"
A Saint King's shout shook heaven and earth. All ten directions of the world trembled, the earth rapidly cracking apart.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was startled. "Little Moon, what's wrong?"
Ye Chen did not speak. With a whoosh, he charged straight toward the depths of the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain, immediately startling the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, who hurriedly said, "Little Moon, you can't go in there! That's the most sinister place, capable of devouring all vitality. In the past, ancient Great Powers have fallen within."
Boom—
Ye Chen paid no heed, charging straight in. He immediately summoned the world's mighty power from the portal of the Ancient Blue World, enveloping himself. Even the Tenfold Divine Halo manifested, adding its power to his person.
He hadn't even done all this when fighting the Undying Young Master, which showed the apprehension in Ye Chen's heart.
He did not wish to be careless. He had also sensed the eeriness deep within the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain and took precautions in advance.
