The Battle Saint King arrived, appearing in the void ahead of the four overlords. His heroic bearing was majestic, black hair cascading down, his divine grace like jade. He looked at the four overlords with a leisurely smile and said softly, "Fellow Daoists, why are you running so fast? I almost couldn't catch up."
The four overlords hurriedly halted their movements, looking at the heroic figure of the Battle Saint King a hundred zhang away. Their smiles turned bitter, carrying an unprecedented sense of regret.
They all regretted it—why did they have to provoke anyone but the Battle Saint King, this young great demon king?
Now, even when they wanted to escape, they had been caught up by him.
Truly, they could neither ascend to the heavens nor enter the earth—there was no way out.
In the distant sky, some prodigies who had finished observing the previous battle passed by this area. From afar, they spotted this scene and watched from a distance. When they understood what was happening, they were greatly shocked, for it was actually the Battle Saint King and the four overlords, including Zhao Wudao.
Soon, they all understood. They shook their heads and sighed for Zhao Wudao and the other three overlords, feeling sympathy for them.
Ye Chen stood firm in the void, looking down at the four overlords from a commanding height, his words carrying a hint of mockery: "Why aren't you running now?"
"Battle Saint King, in the past, we were all blinded by hatred and constantly opposed you. But from now on, we dare not do so anymore. We hope you, as a great person, will not hold it against us petty individuals and can forgive us, giving us a way out."
At this point, the four overlords had no choice but to lower their heads and plead with the Battle Saint King, hoping he would grant them a path to survival.
They truly did not want to die.
Their life paths were still very long; they were currently on the rising ladder of life. Even if they could no longer compete on the path of the Human Sovereign in the future, with their potential and cultivation, they could still one day ascend to become masters of an Immortal Sacred Land, command the winds and clouds in a region, and walk proudly through the world. They were unwilling to die just like this, their hearts filled with reluctance.
But Ye Chen only sneered coldly: "I gave you plenty of chances. The first time was at the Heavenly Gate, the second time was in the Fallen Heaven Desolate Domain. Yet you opposed me again and again. This time, I won't give you any more chances. Just die, and be done with it once and for all!"
Boom—
Ye Chen personally made his move. A great hand directly covered the sky and blotted out the sun, enveloping the vast cloudy sky. Within his palm, a world took form, an heaven and earth manifested. Wisps of Dao marks overflowed, crushing the void and annihilating everything.
Such a method was comparable to the ultimate killing move of a Saint realm overlord!
The entire area of dozens of miles was covered by this palm. The void itself was smelted, making escape impossible.
"Battle Saint King, you forced us into this."
Zhao Wudao and the other three overlords suddenly turned cold. At this moment, they seemed to have made some astonishing decision. From the crowns of their heads, a column of light shot up into the sky. Surprisingly, each had a divine pillar of a different color soaring into the heavens. Four divine light pillars of different colors stood towering into the clouds.
An ancient grand array slowly unfurled. Array patterns reached for the heavens, densely arrayed and unfolding, interweaving in the void—it was a massive and incredibly complex ancient array diagram.
Ye Chen's sky-covering great hand was actually blocked, rendered ineffective. He decisively withdrew it, his eyes shining brilliantly as he stared intently at the scene before him. The look of contempt faded, replaced by a trace of gravity: "This is a killing array, and an extraordinary one at that!"
This was no ordinary killing array. The entire array was extraordinary. The four overlords had employed a forbidden-like method to attack. Their aura instantly increased many times over, becoming far more powerful than any single individual, comparable to the peerless aura of a True King.
Four Extremities reaching the heavens!
The four overlords each stood in a position, corresponding to east, south, west, and north. The east was dominated by azure light, the south by crimson light, the west by white light, and the north by yellow light—representing the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, the four holy spirits.
This was their strongest method, a forbidden technique they would not use unless absolutely necessary. Generally, they would not employ it except in the most critical situations.
Unfortunately, today they were forced to use it.
It could be seen that above the column of light from the crowns of their heads, each of the four overlords had a fearsome holy spirit appear—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the Four Symbols. The Four Extremities reached the heavens, transforming into a peerless grand array. Its killing aura shook the mortal world.
"This killing array is astonishing. Its killing intent is absolutely comparable to a True King. The four overlords actually hid such a terrifying method." The prodigies watching from the distant sky exclaimed in shock. Seeing the might of the four overlords after forming the array, it could truly be said to blot out the sky and cover the heavens.
This kind of power could easily withstand even a Saint realm overlord without pressure.
They never imagined that the four overlords still possessed such an astonishing method.
Originally, they thought this would be a one-sided slaughter by the Battle Saint King. But now, it seemed the situation might have changed.
"Could this be the legendary Fourth Killing Array—the Four Symbols Killing Array?" someone knowledgeable couldn't help but exclaim.
The Four Symbols Killing Array, hailed as the fourth greatest killing array under heaven, possessed boundless power. The killing light it constructed could destroy all life force.
Now, in the hands of the four overlords, this Four Symbols Killing Array could slay gods when encountering gods, slaughter buddhas when encountering buddhas—absolutely invincible, at least among their generation.
But a prodigy spoke up, his eyes shining brilliantly as he shook his head with certainty: "It can't be the complete Four Symbols Killing Array. After the disappearance of the ancient Human Kings, the Four Symbols Killing Array also vanished. In this world, even the strongest forces like the Human Sovereign Palace, Ancient Heavenly Court, and Myriad Worlds Palace cannot possess the complete Four Symbols Killing Array."
Indeed, because the Four Symbols Killing Array was the ultimate killing array created by that legendary Human King from the Primordial Times who almost ascended to the Human Sovereign throne. Only he possessed the complete array.
The Four Symbols Killing Array before them was at most a remnant array, or even an imitation. But even so, as long as it contained part of the Four Symbols Killing Array's profundities, it could be considered terrifyingly immense.
Zhao Wudao presided over the position of the Azure Dragon, standing within the killing array. He stared coldly at Ye Chen and said, "Battle Saint King, you forced us into this. You forced us to use our final trump card. Today, either you die, or we perish."
"Either you die, or we perish!"
The other three overlords shouted in unison. The auras of the four holy spirits reached the heavens, directly crushing forward, accompanied by endless, terrifying divine might, as if wanting to shatter the Nine Heavens.
"You die, I perish? Ridiculous. Today will only be a one-sided slaughter!"
Ye Chen appeared before the four overlords, black hair cascading, eyes like lightning. At this moment, a majestic aura emanated from him. Four holy spirits appeared, and four-colored divine radiance coiled around his body.
His black hair flowed freely, his expression calm and composed. From beginning to end, he appeared so unperturbed, possessing an invincible brilliance that was very eye-catching.
"I'll let you understand what true invincibility is. It doesn't require relying on external objects. One's own self is enough to be supreme and invincible!"
