Boom—
The Saint weapon divine shield that Cang Jitian had summoned to block the attack exploded right before his eyes, utterly incapable of withstanding Ye Chen's supreme and invincible fist.
It was visible to the naked eye—even something as hard as a Saint weapon seemed as fragile as paper under his opponent's fist, unable to resist, directly transforming into a shower of fragments that scattered through the air like fiery meteors, impacting the earth and burning the vast desert into molten slag.
An unstoppable, supremely powerful fist!
The fist merely paused for an instant because of this before its momentum continued unabated, fiercely smashing into Cang Jitian's body. It pierced straight through his battle armor and then through his right chest, passing completely through his torso.
Ye Chen's fist gave a violent shake, forcefully tearing off Cang Jitian's entire right arm. Blood splattered, staining the desert.
Furthermore, the ten divine halos of the Tenth Heaven on his fist trembled, releasing a mysterious aura that directly acted upon Cang Jitian's wounded body. His flesh threatened to split, blood spurted, and his internal organs nearly shattered. He was severely injured.
This scene shocked countless people, and it also greatly invigorated the many powerhouses of the Ancient God Continent.
This mysterious genius was truly astonishingly powerful, actually inflicting such heavy injuries upon the great fiend Cang Jitian—something even Prince Gu Feng, risking life and limb, had been unable to achieve.
However, although Cang Jitian was injured, it was impossible to say he was defeated just like that.
How extraordinary were these True King geniuses? Even being smashed to pieces might not kill them, let alone such an injury, which could hardly be considered truly serious.
A burst of resplendent divine radiance flashed. Cang Jitian, hailing from an immortal force and being a descendant of a mythic race, naturally mastered extraordinary healing arts. Although not as potent as the Divine King Rebirth Art or the Saint Body Regeneration Art, he still recovered quickly, rapidly regenerating a new arm and flesh that sparkled like jade.
But a peculiar aura was at work within his body, affecting his internal organs and hindering the repair of his injuries to some extent.
He hurriedly took out a seven-thousand-year Heaven and Earth Treasure and consumed it directly, also retrieving and swallowing some miraculous elixirs. His five viscera trembled, and under their combined effect, he finally managed to dispel that mysterious aura.
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't foolishly stand by and watch him recover without taking action. That wasn't gentlemanly conduct; it was stupidity.
Swish—
He executed the Heavenly Roc Movement Technique, even blending in the Boundary Traversal Secret Art. Even the True Kings of the Myriad Domains would find it hard to discern, let alone with the concealment of the Heaven-Stealing, Earth-Altering supreme profound art. He moved instantly, dashing forward again to attack.
Without a word, a mysterious radiance swept over, affecting Cang Jitian. This was the Reverse God King Rebirth Technique—following its flow healed all injuries; reversing it worsened all injuries.
This was the essence of the Divine King Rebirth Art.
Undoubtedly, the light of the Reverse God King Rebirth Technique truly caused Cang Jitian's about-to-regenerate arm to halt. Under the hazy radiance, it even began to reverse and regress, causing everyone's expressions to change.
Especially the Sun God, Yuan Yao Divine King, and others, their eyes shone brightly.
They looked at the mysterious figure with suspicion, because this divine ability was very similar to Battle Saint King's technique, also possessing the wondrous effect of reversing injuries. However, the fluctuations of its laws were completely different, leaving them quite puzzled and suspecting this mysterious genius's identity.
In their hearts, they even began to vaguely suspect whether this could be Battle Saint King Ye Chen, who had not shown himself since entering the Ancient God Domain.
Cang Jitian's expression naturally changed drastically. He hurriedly retreated from the area enveloped by this mysterious radiance, only then continuing the growth of his flesh.
But Ye Chen wasn't naive enough to think he could completely stop Cang Jitian's flesh regeneration. It was merely to buy a little time, and that was enough.
In duels between masters, a tiny difference can lead to a vast error.
A small, subtle advantage can be expanded infinitely.
He pressed his advantage, closing in, and executed the Battle Saint Art. The supreme, invincible offensive power was displayed as he launched a forceful assault, aiming to blast Cang Jitian apart, seemingly about to shatter heaven and earth itself.
Undoubtedly, during this process, even Cang Jitian suffered heavy bombardment. His entire body was nearly smashed to pieces, a bloody mess, with countless broken bones and tendons, rendered almost unrecognizable.
In the end, he paid a great price, consuming an extremely precious Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Treasure to recover. However, he lost a significant amount of his essence, energy, and spirit.
Perhaps for ordinary people, a fight is just a fight, and using Heaven and Earth Treasures or elixirs is simply unfair.
But for Ye Chen and his ilk, this was normal. In a true duel, one must consider all factors, not just mere combat power.
Heritage is also a form of strength, as long as one has the ability to wield it.
In this battle, Ye Chen had gained a slight upper hand so far, but only slightly. He deeply understood that Cang Jitian was a favored son of the Cang Clan, inevitably possessing many treasures. While similar Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine Treasures couldn't be too numerous, they certainly weren't limited to just one.
Achieving victory couldn't be accomplished immediately.
"Kill!"
Ye Chen directly executed the Heavenly Dragon Seal. Nine enormous black dragons appeared, each one immensely huge, soaring through the sky, their pitch-black scales as impenetrable as steel.
Nine dragons traversed the heavens, directly crushing forward, threatening to shatter the void itself.
Cang Jitian, having fully recovered, naturally regained his True King majesty. He executed the Mountain Embracing Seal, a divine ability that could now unleash unimaginable power, directly striking out to collide with the nine black dragons.
Mountains shattered, black dragons broke apart, and a rain of blood fell. These were all manifestations of Dao essence, yet so realistic it was hard to distinguish truth from illusion.
The next moment, Ye Chen also executed the Mountain Embracing Seal, but even more terrifyingly. He embraced a gigantic mountain peak and heavily smashed it down towards Cang Jitian below.
Boom—
Cang Jitian's eyes flashed with cold light as he charged upward, shattering the divine peak above his head, then continued to battle fiercely with Ye Chen.
Then, with his left hand he formed the Cang Seal, with his right the Vault Seal. Combining both hands, the vast heavens manifested, pushing forward horizontally.
Ye Chen naturally refused to be outdone. With his left hand he executed the Moon Seal, with his right the Sun Seal, propelling the sun, moon, and stars forward. He even transformed them into a dragon-shaped curve, manifesting a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram that charged forth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two engaged in close-quarters combat in an instant, clashing with everything. Divine seals collided with divine radiance, runes met Dao marks—all were the most terrifying forces impacting, tearing apart the great void, inspiring boundless terror.
The onlookers were all shocked. The strength of both combatants was far too powerful and fearsome, surpassing imagination.
The entire void continuously exploded.
The two were engaged in lightning-fast, ultimate collisions. Every exchange was enough to cause the void of the Ancient Emperor Realm to completely collapse, splitting open massive spatial chasms that drew the attention of everyone present.
A peak duel!
