Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless divine abilities and laws flew about, endless divine radiance surged and annihilated, completely obliterating the thousand-mile miniature world evolved by the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage.
This was because over a thousand Heaven's Pride had made their move, all at least at the Divine Transformation realm, and among them were fourteen of the strongest Heaven's Pride—super-powerful experts at the Saint Treasury Realm. The combined might of the divine abilities and laws unleashed by so many Heaven's Pride was utterly terrifying.
Words could not describe it; one could only know that countless mountains and rivers shattered instantly.
Raging rivers were severed.
Heaven and earth were destroyed!
The Heaven and Earth Battle Stage trembled violently, almost shattered by the onslaught.
So many Heaven's Pride attacking simultaneously was far more terrifying than a Saint Lord making a move. Concentrated together, even a Saint Lord would be instantly shattered into dust.
The spectators in the Divine City were all shocked and awed, with many showing concern. Even the experts from the nine imperial dynasties felt the same, for this explosive assault was far more terrifying than an ordinary Saint Lord's attack.
Didn't this mean those participating in the final battle were under threat?
Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his sleeve, a vast and mighty power poured into the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage, immediately calming its violent tremors and making it much more stable, no longer teetering on the brink.
The great battle erupted. Faintly visible within the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage, figures directly turned into clouds of blood mist, shattered into dust before they could even use the life-preserving methods bestowed by their respective elders.
And such shattering meant true death, for not everyone possessed supreme healing secret arts like the Saint Body Regeneration Art that Ye Chen and others had.
In the blink of an eye, at least over two hundred Heaven's Pride had been blasted into blood mist, with many more severely wounded. Even the fourteen strongest Heaven's Pride were not spared, each sustaining injuries.
Although the wounds were not severe, it was clear that in such an environment, even powerhouses like them could not remain completely unscathed.
Because the attacks were too frequent and dense, no one could remain unharmed. If they couldn't, others naturally couldn't either.
However, in a certain area of the miniature world's void—the location where Ye Chen was—it was clearly visible that the space around him was distorted, even light was bent, concealing him within. No one could see him, and no one could attack him.
Even the most terrifying and dense attacks would be eerily distorted upon nearing this area, yet from the outside, nothing seemed amiss. This showcased Ye Chen's own profound and unfathomable extraordinary methods.
From beginning to end, he had been quietly observing this chaotic battle with a cold eye, not making a move, as if he were an outsider.
Not only him, but he also sensed several obscure auras flickering in concealment and discovered an unfamiliar aura he did not recognize, also hidden within, causing him to slightly raise his sword-like eyebrows.
Boom!
Divine radiance blazed brilliantly, divine abilities and laws destroyed heaven and earth, mountains and rivers crumbled, the earth disintegrated, the void annihilated—everything seemed as if the world was ending, thoroughly shaking every corner of the miniature world.
Finally, the brief bombardment of divine abilities ended. But in that short moment, over two hundred Heaven's Pride had been completely blasted apart, over a hundred were severely wounded, and the remaining Heaven's Pride, without exception, were all injured, bleeding continuously.
A blood-stained heaven and earth, a shattered heaven and earth!
The entire miniature world could not withstand such bombardment and was left in pieces.
This was the brutality of the final battle. Although the world had long guessed it would be bloody, they never imagined it would reach such an extent.
How long had the battle been going on? Already so many Heaven's Pride had died, among them heirs of top-tier forces, some with cultivation at the Demi-Saint realm...
All of this illustrated the cruelty of the final battle, just as Li Xuan had said earlier: life and death were irrelevant.
Precisely because of this, over two hundred people had already withdrawn from the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage. Most among them were severely wounded Heaven's Pride who knew continuing to fight meant certain death, so they decisively chose to withdraw.
Some were terrified by the bloody and brutal scene, not daring to stay any longer, and left the battlefield.
Although life and death were irrelevant on the stage, even the strongest Heaven's Pride did not obstruct those who voluntarily withdrew, not wanting to waste divine power nor truly offend anyone.
It's easier to deal with the king of hell than his little minions; they also didn't want to imperceptibly offend certain forces, preferring to let things pass.
In an instant, out of over a thousand Heaven's Pride, nearly half had been eliminated through death or withdrawal, indirectly proving the brutality of the final battle—it was not a place to linger.
However, the remaining Heaven's Pride were still numerous, a full five hundred or more, appearing in every corner of the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage.
And from this moment on, many Heaven's Pride set aside their mutual prejudices and, with tacit understanding, began to join forces against the fourteen strongest Heaven's Pride.
Because everyone understood that these strongest Heaven's Pride were the most powerful competitors in the final battle. Their presence was the greatest threat and the biggest obstacle preventing others from claiming the sole crown.
United as one, facing the external foe together!
"Kill!"
Beams of divine radiance carrying the power of laws shot across the sky, assaulting the fourteen strongest Heaven's Pride, shattering heaven and earth, annihilating countless forests.
Moreover, the power of the attacks was too great; the thousand-mile space of the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage could not allow complete evasion, and each of them was struck by many.
Although with the strength of these strongest Heaven's Pride, ordinary attacks could not harm them, they could not withstand the sheer quantity. Many attacks still managed to injure them, causing blood to trickle from their mouths and inflicting certain wounds.
The experts from the nine imperial dynasties and the forces of the other strongest Heaven's Pride all wore ugly expressions, yet they could do nothing. For these people represented the entire Ancient Divine Continent, the entire world. Even the ancient imperial dynasties could not oppose them.
"Hmph!"
The fourteen strongest Heaven's Pride naturally would not willingly be turtles hiding in their shells. They too began to attack madly, each transforming into streams of light traversing heaven and earth, striking swiftly.
Moreover, these strongest Heaven's Pride were at least at the Saint Treasury Realm level, fundamentally far superior to the other young geniuses, surpassing them greatly in realm, combat power, speed, and divine abilities.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each was like a deity descending to the mortal world. With every move, they wielded immense and vast might, overturning heaven and earth, traversing and dominating the world. With a raise of their hands, they sent Heaven's Pride figures flying, at the very least severely wounding them.
Many Heaven's Pride were even directly torn apart, completely shattered into dust, flesh and blood gone, leaving people dumbfounded and chilled to the bone.
This also fiercely intimidated the other Heaven's Pride, proving that these strongest Heaven's Pride were not to be attacked wantonly by others. Once they struck, one must bear a heavy price, even death!
