The Heavenly Roc King finally revealed his true form, transforming into a majestic divine roc.
Although its entire body was only three zhang in size, the fluctuations it radiated made everyone's hearts tremble, as if it could shatter the heavens—an ultimate terror.
For this was the Heavenly Roc King at his strongest state, far more powerful than his human form and more agile and terrifying than his enlarged, bloated state.
His entire body was covered with incredibly hard golden divine feathers, as if clad in a suit of golden divine feather battle armor, heroic and awe-inspiring. With each long-range strike, every part of his body was a supreme attack, incredibly hard, with Dao marks and runes covering and flowing over him.
That Heavenly Roc War Spear had temporarily merged with his roc claws, becoming incomparably sharp as it slashed toward Ye Chen.
A fierce wind howled, and violent gales arose as the Heavenly Roc King swept in horizontally, engaging Ye Chen in close-quarters combat.
Over a dozen nearby desolate mountains were lifted by the gale and blown who knows how many miles away.
It must be said that the Heavenly Roc King in this state was many times more powerful than before. His entire body shone with divine radiance, each golden divine feather like a golden Heavenly Feather Saint Sword. Supreme Dao mark runes flowed and shimmered, making this his strongest combat state, terrifyingly astonishing.
Moreover, he wielded the most fearsome ultimate divine speed. Under his slashes, even a Saint Realm overlord could be torn apart.
*Clang!*
Ye Chen sneered coldly, standing firm as a mountain. He swung his golden immortal sacred fist, fiercely punching forward to collide wantonly with the Heavenly Roc King's black roc claws. A deafening explosion erupted, shaking the myriad mountains and valleys violently.
In the distance, many spectators retreated in pain, as the sonic waves from the collision nearly shattered their Primordial Spirits—truly terrifying.
But what shocked more people was that the Battle Saint King was actually contending with the Heavenly Roc King, not even using that mysterious Bronze Great Halberd, forcefully resisting the great roc claw formed by the merging of the Heavenly Roc King and his war spear.
When his Dao body had used it earlier, even the Heaven-Shaking Palm had clearly been torn, leaving blood marks. Why had such an astonishing change suddenly occurred now?
"Want to fight me in close combat? Even revealing your strongest true form is useless!"
Ye Chen appeared utterly indifferent. As the most perfect nascent Saint Body in history, further mixed with Dragon Origin, Nine Tribulations Gold, and Chaos Blood, the power ceaselessly flowing within him filled his limbs and bones, granting him an absolute advantage in physical body strength surpassing others of the same realm.
Even facing the Heavenly Roc King, who had fully awakened his bloodline and revealed his true form, it was the same.
Moreover, his pair of hands had transformed into the most dazzling gold, flawless like crystal. Yet rumbling sounds were unceasing, as if boundless tribulations flowed between his fingers and palms. They collided with the great roc claw formed by the merging of the Heavenly Roc King and his war spear, sparking showers of sparks, remaining undamaged and intact.
For Ye Chen's hands now contained the essence of Nine Tribulations Gold—that was Chaos Immortal Gold, imperishable and indestructible through myriad tribulations. How could the Heavenly Roc King possibly destroy it, even merged with the Heavenly Roc War Spear?
He swung his immortal sacred fist, punching out blow after blow. Each fist was accompanied by vast destructive power, supreme Saint Body Dao marks circulated, and the radiance of Nine Tribulations Gold flickered, making that stretch of heaven and earth tremble.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Ye Chen continuously collided with that pair of great roc claws merged with the Heavenly Roc War Spear, like two divine weapons cleaving heaven and earth clashing, constantly tearing the sky and shattering everything.
The peril contained within was something no onlooker could truly discern. Only the two combatants themselves could deeply experience it, equivalent to their strongest weapons clashing, ready to tear each other apart at any moment.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
The Heavenly Roc King naturally had more than just this method. The thirty-six thousand golden divine feathers on his body clanged and chimed, like myriad divine swords singing. All flowed with brilliant golden light, Dao marks manifesting, directly unleashing thirty-six thousand beams of golden light that cleaved the air, severing the sky, engaging Ye Chen in close-quarters combat, aiming to pierce him through completely like a sieve.
Moreover, it was clear that the Heavenly Roc King in this strongest state had completely merged the Eighteen Roc Forms, displaying even more formidable power, absolutely capable of slaying a Saint Realm overlord.
That stretch of sky was directly blasted into dust.
"Tenth Heaven, open for me!"
Ye Chen gave a great shout, his black hair billowing wildly.
A mysterious and divine halo suddenly expanded from his body. Ten layers of divine nature halos intertwined and merged, fusing into one brilliant divine nature halo that enveloped his entire person, impervious to all techniques, warding off all evils.
This was the divine nature halo formed from the most mysterious Tenth Heaven, supremely divine and sacred, immortal and indestructible, possessing extraordinary characteristics.
Propping up the Ten Heavens divine nature halo, he stood as if in another universe, blocking all thirty-six thousand sword beams outside the divine halo, displaying the essence of 'impervious to all techniques' to its utmost.
"This is the manifestation of the Tenth Heaven!"
In the distant sky, countless powerhouses watched, especially those True Kings, their gazes blazing intensely. For this was the ultimate goal of their Supreme One methods—to achieve the mythical Tenth Heaven.
And the founder, the Battle Saint King, was now displaying the extraordinary aspects of the Tenth Heaven.
Many True Kings almost stirred with the thought to charge forward and join the battle, to comprehend the mysteries of the Tenth Heaven, which would greatly benefit their chances of success. But in the end, they forcibly restrained themselves.
"Argh!"
The Heavenly Roc King was enraged to the extreme, for he discovered that even after fully awakening and transforming into his strongest combat state to attack the Battle Saint King, he still could not gain any upper hand.
The Battle Saint King stood firm as a fortress under his attacks. That Ten Heavens divine nature halo was even more mysterious, impervious to all techniques; the thirty-six thousand sword beams could not breach it in the slightest.
Moreover, the Battle Saint King was executing the Great Dao Treasure Vessel Seal, which hovered above his head, also possessing the ultimate mystery of the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Finger, erupting with countless rippling light swords that collided with the thirty-six thousand sword beams, exploding into vast columns of light and terrifying radiance capable of destroying heaven and earth, annihilating the nine heavens.
Furthermore, Ye Chen also continuously swung his pair of immortal sacred fists. While blocking the Heavenly Roc Claws, he also punched the Heavenly Roc King's body blow after blow, colliding with the golden divine feathers, exploding into showers of light columns, shattering heaven and earth.
Man and roc engaged in close-quarters combat. It could be said that the collisions in this situation were many times more intense than before, for the dao laws employed were clearly more powerful than those of Saint Realm overlords.
All of this made the expressions of some supremely powerful figures in the distance change drastically. The methods of these young generation's peerless geniuses were many times more terrifying than imagined. Most likely, when unleashing their strongest techniques, they could reach the level of slaughtering overlords.
How laughable that many had underestimated these young peerless geniuses, never expecting their potential had reached this step.
Of course, this undoubtedly required paying a tremendous price.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Although the Plunder Heaven Plains were mostly a desolate expanse, the inner region still had many mountain ranges stretching continuously. At this moment, under the duel of these two peerless experts, who knew how many desolate mountains had been destroyed.
They fought their way into the heavens, annihilating the clouds in all directions. The vast earth also displayed countless large and small pitch-black chasms, densely packed, even leveling several ancient, deserted cities to the ground. They battled for over a thousand miles, exchanging over a thousand moves.
Everyone followed to watch this unprecedented, top-tier battle of the young generation.
At this point, even if the Heavenly Roc King didn't want to admit it, he had to concede that it was difficult to kill the Battle Saint King. In his strongest state, he had employed almost all his methods. Even the Eighteen Roc Forms, when executed, had become who knows how many times more terrifying, yet they were still ineffective at killing this fellow before him.
One could only say the Battle Saint King was too powerful, powerful to the point of being difficult to kill.
Yet Ye Chen also grew more valiant the more he fought. The Battle Saint blood within him was boiling.
The Battle Saint lineage were originally people who grew stronger when facing stronger opponents. And the Battle Saint blood within Ye Chen had lain dormant for too long. Since this lifetime, not many had made him fight to this extent.
Even the likes of the Primordial Demon God from before had only fought to a draw, unable to make the saintly blood within him truly roar.
But this time, the Heavenly Roc King made his saintly blood burn. Having fought to this stage, it was a true collision at the peak level of their generation, igniting his true competitive spirit, reminding him of the life-and-death battles of competing with peers in his previous life.
"Kill!"
He let out a long roar, his blood energy like a rainbow, his entire body erupting with intense golden light. A War God descended upon the mortal world, charging forward horizontally. His combat power actually climbed once more.
Operating the invincible Battle Saint Art, with grand, sweeping movements, he soared into the sky, severing the firmament, forcibly blasting the Heavenly Roc King away, tearing off many of his golden divine feathers.
Even one as powerful as the Heavenly Roc King was somewhat outmatched.
Immortal-Slaying Form, Human King Seal, Mountain Embracing Seal, Sun Seal, Void Palm Seal... Various divine abilities operated at will, becoming more proficient and boiling with Ye Chen's increasing combat fervor. All displayed the power to destroy heaven and earth, tearing through layer upon layer of sky, annihilating everything.
What strongest state of the Heavenly Roc King?
The Battle Saint King was the invincible one. For he was the first great perfection Supreme One genius of the Tenth Heaven since the Mythical Era. When the Battle Saint blood within him didn't boil, it was one thing. Once it boiled, it represented Ye Chen in his strongest state awakening, simply equivalent to an invincible War God emerging into the world.
Having lived two lifetimes, experiencing countless battles large and small—even facing a Demon Monarch, confronting supreme beings of alien races on the River of Time, witnessing battles at that level.
Even taking the first step ininitiatinging the Chaos Dao.
His existence was simply inconceivable, bearing the great fortune between heaven and earth, fundamentally an invincible existence.
At this moment, with the saintly blood within him fully awakened, he immediately and truly displayed the invincible bearing of a Saint King.
*Boom!*
Vast Supreme One dao might radiated. Ye Chen's entire golden body was flawless like crystal. With every move, he could destroy heaven and earth.
*Pfft!*
The Heavenly Roc King, who had been fighting evenly matched just moments before, was now sent flying horizontally.
The Battle Saint King stood in a wondrous realm, commanding the attention of all, supreme and lofty, overlooking everything in the mortal world.
He had reached the absolute pinnacle of power. With a mere lift of his hand, it seemed he could suppress and slay all.
