They charged deep into the starry expanse, their divine power surging so violently that they blasted several stars apart, shattering them across the heavens.
The entire world was shaken, for it was known that only Heavenly Kings could truly shatter stars. Yet these few had achieved that very feat.
It was just that the three Saint Lord-level combatants had exerted their utmost, even resorting to desperate measures, while the Battle Saint King truly possessed that kind of world-shaking power.
Ye Chen did not hesitate. His true self and his Supreme Dao Body directly unleashed the Battle God Seal, ascending to the pinnacle. That aura truly shook the ancient and modern eras, as if he had transformed into an invincible entity within the starry realm, charging forth to kill.
After a dozen or so exchanges, the two Saint Lords and the five overlords who had formed the battle formation were all annihilated, their blood staining the stars, yet their deaths shook the mortal world.
Invincible!
The Battle Saint King stood aloof, overlooking all heroes, like a reincarnated Great Emperor, emanating an aura of peerless invincibility. He strode forward, targeting the other fleeing Saints, and directly initiated a suppression and slaughter.
Although the various Saints were powerful, each a Saint in their own right, and included genuine Ancient Saints.
But even the desperate efforts of two Saint Lords had proven futile, let alone them.
In the starry sky, one blood energy dragon after another dispersed and annihilated, rapidly fading away. Each represented a Saint slain by the Battle Saint King, their blood splattering across the cosmos.
Boom—
Although a terrifying great battle was unfolding in the starry sky, the outcome had long been foreseen, destined from the moment the Battle Saint King fully erupted, irreversible.
"Great demon! This is the Ancient Divine Continent. If you dare kill us, you will face the pursuit of the entire Ancient Divine Continent!" an Ancient Saint roared in fury.
"Then I will annihilate the entire Ancient Divine Continent," Ye Chen said coldly and ruthlessly, pointing a finger. That Ancient Saint exploded into a mist of blood, utterly obliterated.
Vast silence fell upon the starry expanse. All fighting ceased at this moment. Only the invincible Battle Saint King stood alone, his entire body wreathed in flawless golden light that shimmered and flowed, while a vast and majestic Supreme divine might slowly emanated, collapsing the starry sky and displaying the Saint King's invincible bearing.
The Battle Saint King no longer attacked, but merely standing there, the invisible pressure he released seemed to make the myriad stars tremble, causing everyone to feel an immensely terrifying sense of oppression.
As if humans were facing a giant dragon.
The formidable group of Saint-level powerhouses from the Ancient Divine Continent, who had arrived with such momentum, now only had seven Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords remaining. Three Saint Lord-level figures had been slain. Everyone looked at the Battle Saint King ahead with extreme wariness.
Even their gazes held a trace of fear.
Yes, fear.
Including the five overlords' Five Elements Battle Formation, a total of four Saint Lord-level combatants had perished, proving the Battle Saint King's invincible power that surpassed Saint Lords. How could it not inspire fear?
The Sun God, the Primordial Demon God, and the other immortal True Kings fell silent. Seeing those dissipating blood energy dragons, who could have imagined they were once powerful Saints, including Ancient Saints, overlords, and even Saint Lords?
But all were dead, slain by the Battle Saint King alone, their blood staining the stars.
He was utterly invincible. In this starry expanse, who could contend with him? Who could match him?
Even the Sun God, the Primordial Demon God, Feng Wu, and other True Kings admitted they were inferior. Unless their Supreme Laws were perfected and they also reached the Tenth Heaven would they have the qualification.
The Yuan Yao Divine King, shrouded within ten divine rings, remained transcendent as always, but his gaze seemed profoundly mysterious, his thoughts indescribable.
"Do you wish to continue fighting?"
Ye Chen looked indifferently at the few remaining Saint Lord-level powerhouses from the Ancient Divine Continent side, fearless and even with a sense of looking down upon them, even though they were all Saint Lords.
His black hair was loose, giving him a peerless grace and heroic bearing for the ages. His body was stained with fresh blood, all from the slain overlords and Saint Lords, not a single drop his own.
Although the Battle Saint King had now withdrawn his vast aura, at this moment, merely standing there, the blood of the slain overlords still shone brilliantly, radiating extreme glory, making the various powerhouses feel the urge to bow and prostrate themselves.
No one could remain unshaken by the Battle Saint King's world-shaking combat power. Cang Jitian even sighed to the heavens, "This is the might of a Tenth Heaven Supreme Heaven's Pride. In our battle, he held back far too much."
He finally saw Ye Chen's true strength. So-called Saint Lords were nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs before him, so utterly fragile.
Even the seven Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords, along with that profound and unfathomable super powerhouse from the Ancient Divine Palace, were all intimidated by the Battle Saint King alone.
The dignified seven Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords, always lofty and supreme, treated almost as equals even by their Emperor Sovereigns, had never been looked down upon like this before. Yet they were utterly helpless, also feeling a trace of terror.
Continue fighting?
They suddenly smiled bitterly. Coming here with such an extravagant lineup, they originally thought even if they couldn't kill these great demons, they could at least heavily suppress them, forcing them to flee in disarray.
But who could have predicted the emergence of an invincible Battle Saint King, completely turning the situation one-sided.
Heavy casualties, only a few Saint Lords remaining, while the other side still appeared so effortless.
Who was strong and who was weak was clear at a glance.
Clap, clap, clap—
Suddenly, a series of loud clapping sounds rang out. Looking over, it was that mysterious, elegant man who had emerged from the Ancient Divine Palace.
He was applauding, also radiating a gentle smile. "Truly worthy of being the legendary Qian Yue, the legendary Battle Saint King. Indeed, as the rumors say, peerlessly invincible. I am impressed, truly impressed."
The Battle Saint King glanced at him faintly. Although invincible, he still sensed a faint threat, something even these Saint Lords before him had not given him. Clearly, this elegant man from the Ancient Divine Palace was extraordinary.
Naturally, he was not afraid, but rather maintained an air of indifference. Ye Chen said coolly, "You know me?"
The elegant man smiled slightly. "Naturally. On the Ancient Divine Continent, who doesn't know that among the great demons, there is an even more powerful person—you."
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. He had actually forgotten this detail. Back when he was in seclusion in the Primordial Demon Domain, certain interested parties had already spread his fearsome reputation.
"Do you wish to attack me?"
Shaking his head slightly to dismiss the thought, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, flashing with dangerous light. If so, he wouldn't mind taking action again, even though this elegant man seemed stronger than those Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords.
The elegant man did not answer directly, instead saying seriously, "You are strong, excessively so. At least among the younger generation of the Ancient Divine Continent, no one would be your match."
The seven Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords were somewhat surprised. If this statement came from anyone else, it would be one thing, but this elegant man represented the Ancient Divine Palace, giving his words unusual weight.
But considering the Battle Saint King's combat power, they had to fall silent.
Someone who could slaughter Saint Lords absolutely deserved such praise. No matter how powerful the Crown Princes of the Ancient Divine Continent's nine Imperial Dynasties were, they could not be a match for this Battle Saint King.
Any previous doubts were now impossible.
Yet the various True Kings sighed inwardly. Forget the young geniuses of the Ancient Divine Continent; even looking across the myriad realms, the Battle Saint King's strength might truly be invincible. If not first, he absolutely had the qualification to rank within the top ten.
The reason for saying top ten was still considering the Offspring of Supremes sealed since the Mythical Era.
Those were true sons and daughters of Emperors and Sovereigns, inheriting the most powerful bloodlines, likely possessing trump cards left by their parents, all at the Tenth Heaven.
And the Battle Saint King absolutely had the qualification to contend with the Offspring of Supremes.
However, it was rumored that this time, entering the Ancient Emperor Realm, there were figures among the Offspring of Supremes. One couldn't help but wonder, if the Battle Saint King clashed with an Offspring of Supremes, would there be a spectacular peak battle of their generation?
"Thank you for the praise," Ye Chen remained utterly indifferent.
The elegant man smiled, not minding, then continued, "From today onward, the various major powers of the Ancient Divine Continent will no longer pursue you. I can guarantee this here."
"Sir!"
Hearing this, the several Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords present exclaimed in surprise, looking at him with shock and a hint of concealed anger.
Because in this battle, the various major powers had suffered heavy losses. Those who died were all true super powerhouses, the heritage of the Imperial Dynasties, important forces of the Ancient Divine Continent.
To be slaughtered like this was practically a situation of life and death, how could it be resolved so easily?
Although they were no match for the Battle Saint King now, upon returning, the several Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords planned to advise their Emperor Sovereigns, requesting the mobilization of the Imperial Dynasties' heritage forces, hoping to deploy Great Dao Ancient Weapons for suppression.
If necessary, they even hoped for the Heavenly King ancestors to take action. How could they just let it go?
The elegant man swept a glance over them coolly. "Do you still wish to pursue them? Or be pursued by them? The origins of these people are far more terrifying than you imagine. If you don't want them killing their way to the gates of your imperial capitals, do not start a war."
"Heavenly Kings? So what? The power behind these people exceeds your imagination. If you don't want your dynasties destroyed, keep quiet."
Hearing this, all the Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords' expressions changed drastically with horror. After today's battle, they finally understood the true fearsomeness of these great demons. At least Saint Lord-level, with methods even more extraordinary than Saint Lords. If they truly besieged the imperial capitals, without mobilizing their heritage, they likely could not resist.
Moreover, these great demons could advance or retreat freely, difficult to trap and kill. If truly enraged, they might make the entire Ancient Divine Continent suffer the consequences.
As for destroying dynasties, that was an even more severe deterrent.
What they feared least were the Heavenly King ancestors, the foundation of Imperial Dynasty suppression. But hearing the meaning of this Ancient Divine Palace sir, it seemed these young great demons had terrifying power hidden behind them, unafraid of Heavenly Kings.
If anyone else said it, it would be one thing, but this sir from the Ancient Divine Palace held an extremely noble status, even able to speak for the Ancient Divine Palace, making it naturally extraordinary.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Yet Ye Chen and the other True Kings looked at the elegant man with some suspicion. Listening to his words, he seemed to know their true origins.
The elegant man no longer paid attention to the seven Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords, looking instead at the Battle Saint King and the others. Seeing their expressions, he understood and smiled slightly. "Esteemed ones, if I am not mistaken, you should not be from the Chaotic Sea, but from the myriad realms outside the Ancient Emperor Realm, correct?"
"You know of the myriad realms?"
Ye Chen looked at the elegant man, not exactly surprised, but with a hint of astonishment.
The Sun God and the other True Kings were the same. All along, they had been considered by people of the Ancient Divine Continent as great demons from the other side of the Chaotic Sea.
Yet this mysterious elegant man from the Ancient Divine Palace actually knew their true origins.
The remaining seven Imperial Dynasty Saint Lords looked at Ye Chen and the other True Kings with shock. Clearly, this result differed greatly from their imagination.
But then their expressions changed, as if thinking of something very important, becoming even more guarded than before.
Perhaps because of the myriad realms.
"First, let me introduce myself. I am Li Xuan, from the Ancient Divine Palace," the elegant man introduced himself, very gentle, showing no hostility toward Ye Chen and the others.
"As for the myriad realms, my Ancient Divine Palace naturally knows. Moreover, almost every hundred thousand years, a group of young geniuses from the myriad realms appears, all the most stunningly talented individuals. In past eras, they have had contact with my Ancient Divine Palace, so we also know quite a bit about the myriad realms."
Ye Chen nodded. The Ancient Divine Palace's origins were ancient, rumored to trace back even to the Mythical Epoch, so knowing of the myriad realms was not surprising.
Li Xuan maintained his gentle smile. "The myriad realms, I hear, are a world far vaster and more magnificent than the Ancient Emperor Realm. Since I learned of it, I have always yearned for the myriad realms, but unfortunately, I cannot go there."
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. "May I ask, isn't the Ancient Divine Palace the supreme power ruling the Ancient Emperor Realm? Shouldn't you be able to go to the myriad realms? How is it that you cannot?"
Now he finally considered the most severe problem: not knowing how to leave the Ancient Emperor Realm.
In ordinary dimensional worlds, one could use absolute power to break through the world barrier and leave, but that definitely did not apply to the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Not to mention the Ancient Emperor Realm was opened by Emperors and Sovereigns, its barrier incredibly stable. Throughout history, the Ancient Emperor Realm has given birth to so many peerless figures, even ancient Great Sages, yet it is said they have never been able to leave. This was the biggest problem.
Although Ye Chen was powerful, if ancient Great Sages could not break through, let alone him, it was even more impossible.
But he recalled the geniuses and heroes of past generations who competed on the Human Sovereign's Path, who also entered the Ancient Emperor Realm and eventually left safely. He knew there must be a passage to leave within the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Or perhaps the mysterious master of the Demon God Ruins also had a method to leave.
He silently looked at Li Xuan, waiting to see how he would answer.
