A clash of titans!
Ye Chen's sacred fist clashed against Gu Changsheng's blood-colored war spear, a confrontation of peerless offensive might.
Boom!
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trembled. The two had long since fought their way beyond the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage. Surging divine radiance erupted between them, killing intent soaring to the heavens, shattering the six directions and eight wildernesses. A hazy aura of destruction spread, their battle intent piercing through the Divine City, threatening to spread and annihilate all directions.
It was a terrifying catastrophe. Had it truly spread, it would have been utterly devastating. However, the Divine City was sentient, manifesting numerous rays of divine light into a curtain that blocked the onslaught. Otherwise, casualties would have been severe.
Yet the clash between these two peerless powerhouses was earth-shattering, unprecedented, far surpassing their previous exchanges in intensity.
This level of confrontation was beyond imagination.
Many had thought the previous battle was the limit, only to find it had grown even more powerful.
Gu Changsheng's expression changed repeatedly. He had believed Ye Chen had reached his limit, but it turned out he, too, had been hiding his true strength, which was equally fearsome.
However, this completely ignited his fighting spirit. In this Great Era, he had long been invincible among his peers, finding no worthy rivals. To encounter one now naturally filled him with joy, unleashing a resolute, clanging battle intent.
The two charged from the skies above the Divine City back into the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage. The small world had vanished, and Heavenly King-level Dao marks had been activated, reinforcing it and making it far more difficult to damage.
Moreover, the stage now truly displayed numerous battle scars, stained with blood. Many Saint Lord-level figures had perished and bled here, leaving behind many traces.
On the stage, the two engaged in relentless, intense combat, entering a white-hot phase.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The clanging sounds were incessant, caused by the collision between Gu Changsheng's blood-colored war spear and Ye Chen's invincible Saint Body.
In just an instant, they clashed thousands upon thousands of times. Each time, fist met spear tip, moving so fast that ordinary people couldn't react. Even Saint Lords could only barely catch glimpses of the movements, unable to keep up with their attack rhythm.
This made people marvel even more at the might of the Battle Saint King's invincible Saint Body. Against Gu Changsheng's terrifying attacks and piercing power, an ordinary Saint Lord present would undoubtedly be impaled, their sacred armor torn apart.
Yet the Battle Saint King's fists always shimmered with a hazy golden light, never bleeding, not even the skin broken, leaving only faint white marks.
Each collision rang with a metallic clang, sparks flying, each spark capable of burning through the void.
Without a doubt, this was an ultimate battle, a pinnacle clash, the extreme limit achievable among peers. For a moment, its brilliance illuminated heaven and earth, dimming even the sun in the sky.
During this time, Gu Changsheng naturally did not rely on a single attack. He employed the Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings, the Heavenly Stele Palm, the Emperor Character, as well as various divine abilities and combat techniques from the Ancient Divine Palace. Each was undoubtedly a rare and supremely powerful move, profound and mysterious.
In the brief moments of their battle, Ye Chen witnessed no fewer than fifteen unfamiliar divine abilities, yet not a single one was weak. At the very least, they were techniques created by Heavenly King-level powerhouses, some even Great Power-level divine abilities, accompanied by formidable divine might.
Boom!
The two separated once more, each retreating to one side.
All eyes were upon them!
The pinnacle battle between the Battle Saint King and the heir of the Ancient Divine Palace drew the attention of the entire Divine City. Everyone watched intently, not daring to blink.
They all wanted to know who was truly the strongest.
One was the heir of the Ancient Divine Palace, the most powerful force on the Ancient Divine Continent, an entity that stood aloof above all else, to which even the nine great imperial dynasties bowed their heads. It held too many secrets, encompassing all the mysteries of the Ancient Divine Continent's existence to this day.
The other hailed from the vaster, boundless myriad realms. Every hundred thousand years, a group of the most monstrous geniuses would descend upon the Ancient Divine Continent. And this Battle Saint King was hailed as the strongest among this batch of prodigies, having even slain a Saint Lord. In recent days, his fame had spread throughout the Ancient Divine Continent, and he had even paid respects to the Heavenly King ancestors of the nine imperial dynasties.
The clash between these two, their ongoing battle, was naturally a source of immense anticipation.
Gu Changsheng, heir of the Ancient Divine Palace, held his spear horizontally before him. His entire person was enveloped in a hazy, dark light, shrouded completely, mysterious and exuding an oppressive pressure.
In his hand, a war spear formed from his blood energy coiled with his essence, energy, spirit, and killing intent. The spear's gleam clanged, as if it could pierce the heavens. Its chilling aura made even Saint Lords tremble with fear.
Though they had temporarily ceased fighting, that killing intent swept through the entire city, allowing countless people to feel its power and chill, their bodies turning cold, nearly trembling.
"Just how strong is Gu Changsheng? He could probably slay a Saint Lord!"
The crowd marveled. Gu Changsheng's combat power was truly difficult to gauge, as it surpassed the imagination of the vast majority. The power he had displayed earlier alone was like that of an invincible Divine Spirit, undefeatable.
He stood upon that battle stage, not attacking for the moment, but gathering momentum. His imposing aura slowly spread out, causing the entire Heaven and Earth Battle Stage to tremble and shake, as if on the verge of cracking apart.
The Divine City itself began to glow autonomously. Whenever danger appeared, the divine city would defend itself.
Yet that killing intent still spread out, sweeping through the city. Some cultivators who were slightly closer, faced with this increasingly peerless and terrifying killing intent rolling towards them, immediately felt a bone-chilling cold and swiftly retreated, not daring to linger.
Even from such a great distance, they still could not withstand Gu Changsheng's killing intent.
"This spear!"
Many Saints' eyes shone brilliantly. They all sensed the terror of this spear. Gu Changsheng intended to pour his entire essence, energy, spirit, and killing intent into the blood spear for a single, decisive strike to kill the Battle Saint King.
"Kill!"
Gu Changsheng roared, that single word the condensation of his killing intent as he charged forward. Peerless battle energy ravaged the Heaven and Earth Battle Stage, truly proclaiming his sole supremacy, a terror that blotted out the skies!
Behind him, the Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings unfurled, dominating the cosmos as if crushing three thousand worlds.
He charged forth. That spear was so dazzlingly peerless under heaven, none could rival it. Even a Saint Lord would undoubtedly be slain in a single strike!
But when it reached Ye Chen, suddenly, all that imposing momentum dissipated. Ye Chen spoke calmly, "The probing is over. Now, let me show you what true invincibility really means."
Pfft—
Ye Chen struck—a calm, ordinary strike, merely a flick of his sleeve. Gu Changsheng, who had charged forth with peerless might, was directly sent flying sideways.
