At that moment, an unprecedented and majestic supreme aura erupted from the Blood-Robed Heavenly King, far surpassing his previous power by many times.
It was the genuine pressure of a Heavenly King, displayed without any reservation.
Even though the Blood-Robed Heavenly King was merely a combat Imprint, within the Martial Arts Divine Stone space and on this starry battlefield, he could still unleash the peak combat power he possessed in life.
Ye Chen's expression immediately shifted slightly. He could naturally sense how vast and terrifying the pressure emanating from the Blood-Robed Heavenly King was, far more powerful than before, to the point where it seemed to force the various Great Daos on this starry battlefield to recede.
Intangibly, the Blood-Robed Heavenly King seemed to become the master of the starry battlefield, capable of controlling everything.
Even a powerful expert like him, a Samsara-level powerhouse who transcended the Saint Treasury Realm, felt a sense of oppressive pressure.
Boom—
Ye Chen erupted into action. His entire body exploded with golden, dazzling blood energy, surging forth for three thousand li. He was like a golden war god launching an attack, smashing through the heavens. His pair of invincible sacred fists could crush a Saint Lord into complete annihilation of both body and spirit.
He struck first, initiating the most fearsome offensive.
This was the ultimate manifestation of Samsara-level combat power. With Ye Chen unleashing his full potential and employing the Battle God Seal, a secret technique that enhanced his power, his strength approached the Heavenly King level infinitely closely.
The very starry sky trembled and shook. The stars quivered, seemingly on the verge of being shattered and pulverized at any moment.
The most supreme power, infinitely close to the Heavenly King realm.
Because Ye Chen sensed a feeling of crisis, he attacked relentlessly, striving to defeat the Blood-Robed Heavenly King first.
But the Blood-Robed Heavenly King smiled. A layer of hazy crimson light emanated from his body, woven from profound Heavenly King-level Dao mark runes. It directly tore through the surrounding void, causing that area to collapse instantly and swallow all of Ye Chen's attacks, leaving himself unharmed.
Even when Ye Chen's sacred fists struck out simultaneously, they could not breach this layer of hazy crimson radiance—it was the ultimate defense, impenetrable by anyone below the Heavenly King level.
Too powerful. Truly worthy of being the Blood-Robed Heavenly King.
One strike failed, so he launched a second, even stronger attack!
Rumble—
Behind Ye Chen, a pair of enormous divine wings suddenly unfurled, burning with immortal flames capable of scorching the heavens. These were the Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings, derived from Gu Changsheng's Xiantian Divine Form, which Ye Chen had imitated using the Battle Saint Art. Now, they shimmered with resplendent golden light and flowed with the laws of space, far more powerful than Gu Changsheng's original version by an immeasurable degree.
He had temporarily merged the three movement techniques—the Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings, the Heavenly Roc Movement Technique, and the Realm-Treading Secret Technique—into a unique divine ability. It could not be sustained for long, as it was not perfected and difficult to truly succeed, but it could unleash speed beyond the limit in an instant.
He was in the Battle God state, with all aspects elevated to a great extreme, infinitely close to the Heavenly King realm. He then unleashed the Immortal Saint Fist—Heaven and Earth Creation!
He charged forth like a humanoid True Dragon, furiously assaulting the Blood-Robed Heavenly King.
Wherever he passed, everything crumbled completely, as if this starry battlefield could not withstand Ye Chen's true body. It was utterly terrifying.
The Blood-Robed Heavenly King's eyes flickered rapidly, showing a trace of surprise. His demonically handsome face also revealed a hint of solemnity.
But he was, after all, a Great Dao Heavenly King. He similarly threw a punch, swirling with the supreme power of Heavenly King-level Great Dao rules. He did not even need to unleash a powerful divine ability, directly meeting the attack head-on.
Boom—
When the two collided, entire belts of shattered stars and meteors crumbled and vanished, and several stars exploded into nothingness.
The terrifying destructive fluctuation was enough to destroy heaven and earth, causing vast stretches of the starry sky to collapse.
Ye Chen's figure was sent flying back hundreds of zhang. As he retreated, layers of intangible Great Dao ripples spread from his body in concentric circles, tearing through the vast sky.
This was him skillfully dispersing the force impacting him. The Heavenly King was too powerful; even someone as strong as him could not completely negate all the impact. He used special methods to continuously shed this force.
Nevertheless, he still suffered some injuries, coughing up a mouthful of blood that stained his robes.
In contrast, the Blood-Robed Heavenly King merely swayed slightly, having withstood the force without suffering much harm. However, the fist he had used in the collision was visibly stained with blood. He was quite astonished that a mere junior could actually injure him.
Looking at Ye Chen, the hand that had thrown the punch was completely unharmed, which surprised him further—not because of the opponent's strength, but because of the extreme robustness of his physical body, which could actually damage his own.
Ye Chen sighed softly. In the end, this was a Heavenly King. Even a Samsara-level expert paled in comparison, leaving him feeling helpless. It was difficult to truly defeat him unless he utilized the ocean of Faith Power.
"Blood Realm!"
The Blood-Robed Heavenly King suddenly uttered these words. With a point of his finger, heaven and earth trembled. Immediately, a bloody great world flew out from the tip of his index finger, rapidly expanding until it transformed into a vast crimson realm.
Inside, an endless sea of blood boiled, crimson clouds churned, and thick bolts of crimson lightning flashed. Everything was related to blood, filled with an intensely tragic, bloody aura and containing heart-wrenching screams that could shatter one's spirit.
This was the Blood-Robed Heavenly King's Blood Realm divine ability. Upon reaching the Heavenly King realm, one's cultivation attained an indescribable level, enabling the creation of a true, enduring world.
Although one could not create a small world in an instant, by converting it into a divine ability for temporary creation, someone of the Blood-Robed Heavenly King's means could accomplish this.
The descent of the Blood Realm felt incredibly real and vast. The sea of blood surged to the heavens, the blood clouds shattered the sky, and the crimson lightning split the firmament. Countless bloody remnant souls roared and wailed with extreme misery, assaulting one's Primordial Spirit. Those with insufficiently strong Primordial Spirits would have theirs directly torn apart, leading to spiritual annihilation!
"This is the Blood-Robed Heavenly King's Blood Realm divine ability. In the past, it nearly annihilated a Heavenly King—a peerless divine ability."
Naturally, there were knowledgeable individuals present on the battlefield, especially regarding a famous Heavenly King like the Blood-Robed Heavenly King. His glorious battle records were documented for posterity to study.
The Blood Realm divine ability was one of the Blood-Robed Heavenly King's techniques. In the past, once unleashed, everything within the Blood Realm's coverage would transform into blood.
Even Primordial Spirits would be stained and decayed by the blood, becoming blood souls to be expelled. From a certain perspective, this was a malevolent divine ability that had once provoked the wrath of other Heavenly Kings, who took action to subdue the Blood-Robed Heavenly King.
