Even the Heaven-Shaking Palm was injured.
This situation greatly shocked Ye Chen.
One must know how extraordinary his Battle Sacred Body was—it was practically more solid and enduring than a Saint weapon. Moreover, when executing the Heaven-Shaking Palm, the hardness of his palm increased by more than just one level; it could almost shatter Saint Lord-level Dao weapons.
Yet, after colliding with the Heavenly Roc War Spear, it actually bled. Even if it was just a few faint traces, it was still utterly shocking and incredibly hard to believe.
For so many years, this was the first time someone had been able to injure his Heaven-Shaking Palm. At least among his peers, it was the first.
None of those peerless True Kings had ever made his Heaven-Shaking Palm bleed.
All of this could only mean that this Heavenly Roc War Spear was far too extraordinary. Especially after being unsealed, it could actually injure his Heaven-Shaking Palm. It truly lived up to being an ancient weapon forged from the essence of the Golden-Winged Roc's divine bones.
However, Ye Chen's expression grew even more solemn. This Heavenly Roc War Spear was far too malevolent; it could not be judged by common sense.
It was clearly a supremely powerful ancient weapon, possibly even an Immortal Ancient Weapon. Yet, when wielded, although it lacked the corresponding overwhelming immortal divine might, it still contained that indestructible sharpness and a special kind of rule power.
It made him feel as if he had encountered the sharpest talon of the Golden-Winged Roc from the Mythical Era, about to tear his Battle Sacred Body apart.
"Battle Saint King, you seem to have realized it. But you are right. This war spear was indeed refined using the essence of our progenitor's talon divine bones. In ancient times, our progenitor's pair of talons slaughtered countless powerhouses. Those talons were incomparably sharp, capable of tearing apart everything in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even the Battle Sacred Body cannot withstand them."
Heavenly Roc King responded, his voice filled with a chilling killing intent. He continuously brandished the black war spear, which practically transformed into a colossal black dragon soaring through the sky, invoking the rules of heaven and earth, its ferocious might boundless. He relentlessly attacked Ye Chen, clashing with the Battle Saint Art, causing the heavens and earth to be blasted apart again and again.
Under the gaze of the multitude, even someone as powerful as Ye Chen was actually at a disadvantage at this moment, being suppressed.
That black Heavenly Roc War Spear seemed about to transform into a black dragon, devouring heaven and earth, its ferocious aura coiling around it, with law runes manifesting and shattering.
With a thunderous boom, Ye Chen was blasted back over a thousand zhang, drops of golden saintly blood scattering.
The crowd was astonished. After the Heavenly Roc War Spear was unsealed, was even the Battle Saint King going to be completely suppressed?
"I have to say, that birdman's war spear is truly extraordinary. But why isn't Little Yue using the Primordial Battle Body? It's the supreme battle weapon of the Saint Body lineage and should be able to overpower that war spear," the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor muttered to itself on the Wind Heaven City wall, somewhat puzzled.
Whoosh—
Heavenly Roc King executed the Heavenly Roc Movement Technique, a peerless movement technique created by the Golden-Winged Roc, comparable to the Realm-Treading Secret Technique. It was extremely fast. With a swish, he charged before the distant Ye Chen, swinging the Heavenly Roc War Spear down in a mighty slash.
Boom—
The heavens collapsed and the earth split, the void shattered.
But at the critical moment, Ye Chen stepped with the Reverse Void Eight Steps. Golden Dao patterns overflowed beneath his feet as he swiftly shifted sideways, narrowly and dangerously avoiding this strike.
However, the spear tip was incomparably sharp. It still sliced a piece of flesh cleanly from his arm.
Splat—
The flesh was crystalline, the blood golden and brilliant. Heavenly Roc King actually grabbed it, forcefully bit into it with his mouth, blood dripping. It made one's hair stand on end, sending chills to the bone. He was like a savage deity-demon.
"The flesh and blood of the Battle Sacred Body is not bad..."
Heavenly Roc King said. He took a big bite, swallowing it into his stomach, completely refining that piece of flesh. It actually generated a large amount of essence, greatly enhancing his essence, energy, and spirit. Every pore emitted wisps of radiant essence.
"Saint King..."
Many people on Wind Heaven City exclaimed, their expressions grim. The mighty Battle Saint King was actually being devoured like prey.
Meanwhile, the hundred or so young geniuses led by the four Kings laughed heartily, filled with delight.
Who would have thought that the previously evenly matched battle would change so completely once the Heavenly Roc War Spear was unsealed.
It wasn't that the Battle Saint King wasn't strong enough, but that the Heavenly Roc War Spear was far too sharp, indestructible, possessing a demonic nature capable of severing everything. Even something as powerful and enduring as the Battle Sacred Body could not escape, having flesh sliced off like prey.
"What a Heavenly Roc War Spear."
In the distant sky, the True Kings were all very solemn. Even an invincible battle physique like the Battle Saint King's was wounded, let alone them. Who wouldn't be solemn?
Ye Chen circulated his divine abilities, healing the injury on his arm, though his complexion was clearly somewhat paler.
"Battle Saint King, at this point, what other methods do you have left?" Heavenly Roc King strode forward, gripping the war spear.
Boom—
Thirty-Six Thousand Swords Feather Slash!
While brandishing the Heavenly Roc War Spear, Heavenly Roc King also manifested his Heavenly Roc true form. Countless golden divine feathers stood erect like heavenly swords spanning the sky, boundless, attacking the distant Ye Chen from all directions.
His true self, holding the invincible Heavenly Roc War Spear, soared through the air, pursuing Ye Chen.
"Little Yue, what are you hesitating for? Quickly take out the Primordial Battle Body. It can overpower that Heavenly Roc War Spear."
On the city wall, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor finally couldn't help but speak up.
But Ye Chen seemed not to hear. Instead, he circulated the Battle Saint Art. The Heaven-Shaking Palm, Severing Heaven Finger, and Heaven-Suppressing Seal—three great Saint techniques—were unleashed. Accompanied by the wild boiling of the saintly blood within his body, they roared to the ninth heaven, clashing with the attacks.
Boom rumble rumble—
In the end, it was the invincible Battle Saint Art. It successfully blocked all of Heavenly Roc King's attacks, and even that malevolent Heavenly Roc War Spear was held at bay.
However, Ye Chen's figure was also continuously forced back, retreating over a dozen steps in the void. Each step left a bloody footprint imprinted in the air.
"The Battle Saint King is going to lose..." Many people's expressions darkened. Although they didn't want to admit it, under these circumstances, they had no choice.
However, the Sun God, Yuan Yao Divine King, Primordial Demon God, Void Divine King, and the other True Kings had blazing gazes, filled with suspicion.
Why did it feel like the Battle Saint King had weakened so much?
"Alright, everything is about to end."
Heavenly Roc King grinned, filled with a chilling killing intent. He suddenly executed the Heavenly Roc Movement Technique, condensing into a golden beam of light that landed before the injured Ye Chen, swinging the Heavenly Roc War Spear down in a mighty slash.
"Yes, it will end very soon." Ye Chen suddenly smiled, brilliantly and radiantly, allowing that Heavenly Roc War Spear to directly pierce through him.
This scene stunned everyone.
Had the Battle Saint King lost?
Puff—
The figure of the Battle Saint King suddenly exploded and scattered, transforming into a wisp of clear qi that dissipated between heaven and earth, completely vanishing.
And in the distant sky, a tall, imposing figure with a heroic bearing appeared, standing tall in the firmament. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his eyes shone like heavenly suns, majestic and peerless, like a Heavenly Emperor emerging into the world.
