The distant sky was already filled with numerous figures.
Whether they were the bandits of the Plunder Heaven Plains or the prodigies of the Dragon Phoenix Academy, none engaged in battle at this moment. Instead, they watched the fight before them with a tacit understanding.
It could be said that this was the most peak-level great confrontation among the younger generation, unprecedented and different from past sparring matches. It might be distinguished by life and death, relating to the competition on the path of the Human Sovereign.
The Heavenly Roc King naturally needed no introduction. He was a demon king of the Saint Treasury Realm generation. Although not yet a true True King prodigy, once the ancestral blood of the Golden-Winged Roc within him fully awakened, he would inevitably reach that level. Moreover, the current Heavenly Roc King was hailed as a super king not inferior to True Kings, capable of contending with the various True Kings on the path of the Human Sovereign.
The Battle Saint King was even more beyond mention. A Supreme One prodigy of the Tenth Heaven across two lifetimes, the first person since the Mythical Era to reach this mythical domain, the inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage, the invincible battle physique that was taboo throughout the ages, and those glorious and illustrious battle records.
All of this already foretold the Battle Saint King's strength, forcing those Immortal True Kings to undergo worldly Samsara trials and attempt Supreme One methods to close the gap.
How could such a figure be weak?
He could simply be described as unfathomable.
Now, with these two peak powerhouses of the younger generation engaging in a duel, it naturally attracted attention. It could even be said to be the first peak-level clash on the path of the Human Sovereign, with immense influence.
On the distant sky, extremely terrifying figures appeared one after another: a palace carriage pulled by nine-headed holy pythons, a Sun God deity traversing the sky like a sun, a great demon god whose demonic energy pierced the heavens, the Void Divine King enveloped in a waterfall of Dao marks, the peerlessly beautiful Feng Wu prodigy...
One after another, peerless True Kings rarely seen had appeared, all just to witness this unprecedented peak great decisive battle of the younger generation.
Great bandits from the depths of the Plunder Heaven Plains emerged, and even some unknown figures appeared, gazing intently at everything on the battlefield.
The Heavenly Roc King, wielding the Heavenly Roc War Spear, moved with grand and sweeping motions. The spear quietly extended to over a dozen zhang in length, sweeping across the firmament. Battle energy surged like sharp rays, striking the void until it became riddled with countless holes, large and small.
On the other side, Ye Chen stood calmly in the void, his black hair cascading behind him, appearing very peaceful. However, his hands were anything but peaceful. His sword fingers pointed out, enacting the invincible essence and profound subtlety of the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Finger, unleashing streaks of sword rays that continuously clashed with the spear rays, causing the void to constantly annihilate.
This was a terrifying confrontation. Just from the start, the methods employed made people tremble with shock.
"So powerful. Truly worthy of being the two strongest among the younger generation. Indeed, they are formidable."
This was the astonishment in the hearts of the spectators.
At this moment, the Heavenly Roc King suddenly moved, executing the Heavenly Roc Movement Technique. He advanced at extreme speed, closing in. Moreover, a great roc divine bird with resplendent golden feathers appeared around him, its entire body ablaze with golden light, radiating dazzling brilliance. Thousands upon thousands of terrifying golden sword rays shot forth.
"Feather Slash!"
Killing intent soared to the heavens, making the world tremble. Each golden divine feather on the Heavenly Roc divine bird transformed into a golden holy sword, numbering a full thirty-six thousand, blotting out the sky and earth, completely annihilating the firmament.
Boom—
The endless golden feather holy swords directly transformed into a sea of heavenly swords, submerging towards Ye Chen before him, aiming to utterly shatter his body into a pulp of flesh and blood.
This was one of the Eighteen Roc Forms, the Feather Slash, with extremely formidable power, capable of slaying immortals and killing gods, almost omnipotent.
It was said that during the Mythical Era, the Golden-Winged Roc relied on the Feather Slash to slay countless experts of the alien race, its prestige resounding. Now, it seemed the invincible posture of old was about to be displayed once more in the hands of the Heavenly Roc King.
"Too terrifying. The Heavenly Roc King unleashes such a fearsome killing move right from the start. Although the Battle Saint King is powerful, how can he possibly withstand it?"
Many were exclaiming in astonishment because this move was too overwhelmingly powerful, especially when executed by the peerless demon king that was the Heavenly Roc King, displaying the invincible might of the Golden-Winged Roc from the Mythical Era.
Even Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart. Truly worthy of being the legendary Eighteen Roc Forms, indeed extraordinary enough.
Even Saint Realm overlords facing it would be caught off guard if they were not careful.
But who was Ye Chen? A generation's Battle Saint King. Facing such a supreme divine technique as the thirty-six thousand heavenly swords, vast as an abyss and sea, he stepped forward. Behind him, with a loud boom, a golden, radiant halo unfurled, as if it were a passage to another world.
Five Elements Golden Realm!
The ultimate manifestation among the Five Elements techniques. A golden great world was fully displayed behind him. In an instant, countless golden light masses surged out, soaring skyward like a meteor shower.
Upon closer inspection, each of these light masses was clearly an extraordinary Dao weapon: ancient golden cauldrons, golden arrows, golden swords, golden paired maces... one extraordinary Dao weapon after another, carrying a fearsome sharp metallic aura and accompanied by terrifying martial will within.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
One golden Dao weapon after another was summoned. Each represented a type of battle Dao mark and was also imprinted with a portion of Ye Chen's martial will, empowered within. They all collided with the Heavenly Roc King's golden holy swords, exploding into clusters of the most dazzling golden divine radiance that completely erupted in the void, an incredibly startling and eye-catching sight.
"What kind of Dao technique is this? It can actually block the Eighteen Roc Forms?"
Many were shocked.
The Yuan Yao Divine King, Sun God, Void Divine King, Primordial Demon God, Angel Race prince, and other peerless True Kings all had blazingly brilliant gazes, fixed intently on everything on the battlefield, showing intense interest.
But they all understood that this divine technique should be a divine ability created by the Battle Saint King himself, containing his martial will, hence its unparalleled might.
The collision of two supreme divine techniques was naturally extremely fierce, exploding into vast clusters of destructive golden light that annihilated the firmament and earth.
If not for Wind Heaven City being protected by him, it would have long been destroyed.
Boom—
The void ahead exploded. A terrifying figure appeared. The Heavenly Roc King charged over, letting out a long roar, his golden hair seeming to burn as he mobilized overwhelming magical power to kill with solemn ferocity.
At this moment, he was like a demon god, incomparably fearsome and unstoppably brave, wielding his clan's war spear as he arrived, cleaving down vertically. His blood and qi soared to the heavens, shaking mountains and rivers. The boundless earth trembled violently.
And at this moment, the thirty-six thousand golden holy swords radiating from his body became even more terrifying. That patch of void could no longer bear it and completely collapsed.
If anyone else were approached so closely by the Heavenly Roc King, they would inevitably be unable to withstand it and explode into pieces. But Ye Chen was different. His body radiated auspicious light, and the golden passage of the Five Elements Golden Realm behind him opened to its limit. Endless golden light meteors transformed into heavenly rain dancing and flying, bombarding forward.
Boom! Rumble!—
The two peak powerhouses of the younger generation engaged in the most fearsome close-quarters combat.
