"It's me!"
At this point, Ye Chen also admitted it, his voice calm and natural. Yet, the many powerhouses watching the battle were stunned. Could it be that Cang Jitian actually knew this mysterious prodigy?
However, this battle made the Sun God and others pay even closer attention. The invincible Battle Saint King had appeared and was engaged in combat. The value of this battle was far greater than imagined.
Moreover, these individuals all wanted to glean the secret of the perfect Tenth Heaven from Ye Chen, which held great significance for them.
Because the Battle Saint King was a pioneer on the path of the Tenth Heaven, serving as a crucial guide.
Cang Jitian's eyes shone with divine light as he softly uttered, "I never expected the one fighting me was you. No wonder you're so powerful. I'm delighted; the blood within me is boiling."
"Today's battle can be considered a prelude to the struggle for supremacy on the path to becoming an Emperor. It's a pity I haven't yet perfected my Supreme One's technique to its ultimate completion, but I still very much want to see if your Tenth Heaven is truly that formidable."
"Fight!"
Ye Chen spat out only a single, simple word, his gaze icy. He simultaneously executed the Sun Seal and the Moon Seal, propelling the sun, moon, and stars forward as he launched a forceful assault.
Cang Jitian had never been inferior to anyone. How could he be frightened or afraid? His roar shook the surroundings, his black hair dancing wildly in the wind. He too unleashed the Sky and Earth Seals to confront his opponent.
Both erupted completely, engaging in their final and strongest collision, far more intense than before by many times over.
It was like two comets crashing together, shaking heaven and earth!
Divine might surged overwhelmingly. The two peerless powerhouses were sent flying tens of thousands of miles, entering another stretch of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, startling countless demonic beasts and leveling an unknown expanse of territory.
At this stage, Cang Jitian truly displayed the invincible might he was known for.
The title 'Child of Heaven' was not merely an empty boast. Moreover, Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, for from his opponent's body, he sensed an aura both profound and mysterious beginning to emerge.
It was the same unique aura possessed by the Heavenly Avatars he had fought during the great tribulation. Strands of it were now also emerging from Cang Jitian.
Could the legend be true? Was the Cang Clan truly descendants of Heaven?
Undoubtedly, this conjecture was shocking. But Ye Chen quickly steadied his mind and sneered coldly. So what if they were descendants of Heaven? He had even fought the youthful era of the Ten Heavens and feared not the youthful era of the Ancient Human Sovereign. Why should he be afraid?
Furthermore, he firmly believed his own path was invincible, unrivaled in the present age, fearing nothing.
Ye Chen's body was wreathed in divine radiance, enveloped by the Ten Heavens divine nature halo. He continuously swung his invincible Immortal Saint Fist, punch after punch, collapsing the heavens, shattering the earth, sweeping everything before him, unstoppable.
Even someone as strong as Cang Jitian could not withstand it. The fists and palms he used to clash were torn and bloody, nearly exploding.
Indirectly, this also proved the strength of Cang Jitian's physical body, for in close-quarters combat, no one was Ye Chen's match. The Battle Sacred Body was invincible.
If it were anyone else, they would have been utterly crushed long ago. Only a peerless True King like Cang Jitian could manage this, but even he could not sustain it for long. Both his arms were broken, blood flowing like a river.
What an invincible Battle Saint King.
Cang Jitian showed no surprise either. He had long known of the Battle Saint King's strength. The Battle Sacred Body was a taboo through the ages; being inferior in physical strength was no cause for astonishment. He had anticipated this.
Therefore, he focused more on employing divine abilities. Moreover, the divine abilities he unleashed were profoundly mysterious, carrying an aura of great antiquity, unlike the techniques of the present era. Azure-Gold Order Divine Chains shot forth.
Ye Chen's entire body trembled, golden light flooding his form. He also expelled swathes of runes to collide with them, protecting himself.
But strangely, they could not be completely defended against. These Azure-Gold Order Divine Chains were beyond expectation. After arduously piercing through the golden runes, they struck Ye Chen's Saint Body with metallic clangs.
Although they caused little damage, it was still astonishing that they could penetrate his defenses.
Ye Chen's fingers continuously shot forth streams of sword light, shattering the Azure-Gold Order Divine Chains one after another. Moreover, his Heaven's Eye gazed over. In that momentary glance, he actually discerned that the internal structure of these Order Divine Chains differed from those of the present era, seeming to be a different kind of technique.
"As expected, you are from the previous epoch."
Ye Chen looked at Cang Jitian and spoke thus, for this kind of dao and technique belonged to the methods of the Mythical Epoch. Ye Chen had also studied them before and now naturally recognized them.
It must be said, Cang Jitian's origins were astonishingly grand. He was actually an ancient being from the Mythical Era, his existence spanning an excessively ancient period, rare in the world.
Furthermore, he also mastered the dao and techniques of the previous epoch, which differed from those of this era, allowing him to unleash extraordinary power.
Cang Jitian did not deny it. While fighting, he nodded and said, "Correct. Sealed from the Mythical Epoch to this era. In the previous era, I saw no hope of becoming an Emperor. The great age was beginning to perish, and the Ten Heavens had also vanished. According to the predictions of the supreme existences from the Mythical Era, in this epoch, in this era, hope for becoming an Emperor would appear. Therefore, I was sealed until this era, also escaping the most terrifying Great Destruction."
In their duel, Ye Chen was also contending with the dao and techniques of the previous epoch.
It must be understood that the dao techniques of the previous epoch had been pushed to their absolute pinnacle; otherwise, Emperors and Sovereigns who stood above all would not have appeared.
Through the duel, Ye Chen gained a deep understanding of many techniques from the previous epoch, benefiting greatly. But he forcefully broke through them, for no matter how powerful the previous epoch was, it had ultimately been destroyed.
This era needed to be even stronger.
In the midst of battle, Ye Chen was forceful and domineering, displaying the invincible Battle Saint Art, further integrating his various divine abilities. He swept forward like an invincible ancient war god on the attack, splitting heaven and earth.
No matter how strong Cang Jitian was, he could not hold on. He was sent flying, his entire body on the verge of splitting apart, covered in terrifying cracks, beaten beyond human shape, with even half his body exploding.
The longer the fight went on, the more the invincibility of the Tenth Heaven manifested. Even an Immortal True King could not withstand it.
Ye Chen, forceful and invincible, charged forward. Although Cang Jitian could fight him, prolonged combat would inevitably lead to defeat.
This was the true invincibility of the Mythical Ten Heavens.
Even though Cang Jitian's cultivation realm was slightly higher than Ye Chen's, it made no difference.
"Truly worthy of being the first young generation's supreme since the Mythical Era to break the shackles of heaven and earth and step into the realm of the Mythical Ten Heavens. Even in the Mythical Era, few could enter the Tenth Heaven. You are even more favored by the fortune of heaven and earth." Cang Jitian sighed lightly, yet the light in his eyes grew many times more blazing.
"But even so, it's not enough. You are strong, but I have already broken free from the constraints of the previous epoch and have even forged my own path."
Boom—
Suddenly, holy radiance shone from the five viscera within Cang Jitian's body, each giving birth to a light cocoon of a different color.
