The Battle Saint King had actually blasted apart a Heavenly King! What terrifying power was this, causing the other three Heavenly Kings to tremble in shock, their expressions drastically changing.
However, Elder Tianmei was not dead yet; his body began to reassemble in the distance.
At the Heavenly King realm, it was extremely difficult to kill someone completely.
Moreover, Heavenly Kings no longer possessed Primordial Spirits, but rather higher-level divine souls, which were even more powerful than Primordial Spirits. Coming from an overwhelmingly powerful faction like the Ancient Divine Palace, how could they not have precious divine pills and miraculous medicines accumulated over countless years? Among them were high-level healing divine medicines that could quickly reassemble a shattered body.
"Heavenly Kings are indeed hard to kill," Ye Chen sighed inwardly. Furthermore, this ultimate killing strike was no ordinary feat; it had consumed most of his power, greatly reducing the time he could maintain the Chaos secret technique.
Ye Chen moved, charging forward, intending to deliver the finishing blow right then. But the three Heavenly Kings blocked his path; no matter how fast he was, it was difficult to bypass them.
Yet Ye Chen stood unafraid. From his body emerged another identical figure—his Supreme Dao body, possessing the same invincible combat power. It stood shoulder to shoulder with his true self, both attacking together, jointly unleashing the strongest Battle Saint Art.
Boom—
The two sides collided, divine radiance shattered the heavens. The three Heavenly Kings grunted, while Ye Chen was also forced back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Facing three Heavenly Kings, he was ultimately at a slight disadvantage. After all, he was not a true Heavenly King, and his cultivation realm was only at the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Vault. He had only forcibly reached this level by relying on the Chaos secret technique.
Moreover, overall, the three Heavenly Kings before him were actually stronger than Elder Tianmei, especially the First Elder, who was excessively powerful. Having stood within the Heavenly King domain for many years, he was only slightly inferior to the Ancient Divine Palace Master and was even stronger than the Blood-Robed Heavenly King.
"Even with a Dao body, it's useless. We'll kill you all the same!"
The First Elder snorted coldly. Joined by the returning Elder Tianmei, the four Heavenly Kings attacked together, their momentum seemingly unstoppable, omnipotent.
Ye Chen immediately faced terrifying suppression. Even with the Human Sovereign Pagoda, even with the Primordial Battle Body, even with his Dao body fighting alongside him, he was simply no match for the four Heavenly Kings.
Several collisions failed to achieve the desired effect, and the time for the Chaos secret technique was about to end, filling him with deep anxiety.
If not for still mastering the world's ultimate speed, he would have long been severely wounded. Even the Battle Sacred Body could not be completely invincible.
"Perhaps I can't kill one or two, but it should be time to leave!"
Ye Chen sighed lightly. He was a decisive person and immediately made up his mind. Then, he executed the Boundary-Traversing Secret Technique, arriving at the edge of the four Heavenly Kings' Heaven and Earth domain. Unleashing his strongest methods, earth-shattering and heaven-rending, he tore open a corner of the domain.
"Not good, we can't let him escape!"
The expressions of all four Heavenly Kings changed, especially the First Elder, who charged forward first. With a flip of his hand, he summoned a Heaven and Earth Great Millstone, directly pressing down, forcing Ye Chen to respond with his full strength.
The other three Heavenly Kings also arrived, attacking jointly.
Ye Chen's black hair exploded wildly. He unleashed Chaos techniques, the Chaos Sutra's Genesis Chapter resonating, primordial Chaos Qi continuously overflowing. His attacks were grand and sweeping, shattering heaven and earth as they swept forward.
Boom—
The two sides collided massively. Relying on the Human Sovereign Pagoda's defense to offset over half the force, coupled with the Battle Sacred Body's peerlessness, Ye Chen was only sent flying back, a trace of golden blood seeping from the corner of his mouth—hardly a serious injury.
The Sacred Body Regeneration Technique operated autonomously, completely healing the wounds.
Ye Chen's indestructibility also gave the four Heavenly Kings a headache. It wasn't that they weren't strong enough, but Ye Chen possessed a Supreme Emperor Weapon like the Human Sovereign Pagoda. With primordial Chaos Qi cascading down, it was like a turtle shell—how could they break through?
Moreover, this youngster also mastered a nearly undying and indestructible Divine Spirit Immortality Technique, making him difficult to grind down. This was a difficult battle.
Despite having higher combat power and numerical advantage, and favorable conditions of time, place, and people, they still found it extremely troublesome to kill him.
Even while being suppressed and beaten, Ye Chen roared in anger. Terrifying phenomena appeared—Heavenly Dragons, Phoenixes, Qiongqi, Kunpeng, and other mythical holy spirits continuously manifested, tearing apart heaven and earth, engaging in the most fearsome and intense collisions.
Boom—
Finally, Ye Chen cleverly utilized the attacks of the four Heavenly Kings while also striking out with his full power. He swung the Heaven-Splitting and Earth-Rending Fist and blasted out with the Human Sovereign Pagoda, tearing open the four Heavenly Kings' domain and charging out.
"Not good, he escaped!"
The four Heavenly Kings paled and immediately gave chase.
...
Nightfall, with a bright moon and sparse stars. The Great Power-level ancient ship flew through the endless wildlands, everything appearing so tranquil and natural.
The nine Heavenly Kings were all standing guard, allowing the various overlords to breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps they could continue like this all the way to the center of the Ancient Emperor Continent, avoiding countless dangers.
"Who knows what matters the several Ancient Divine Palace Elders and the Battle Saint King are discussing, so secretively that even the other Heavenly Kings cannot know," one overlord said, looking toward the grand hall that was brightly lit, always in a sealed state, unknown and unobservable to the outside.
Another overlord sighed, "The Battle Saint King is young, yet he is the Ancient Divine Palace's eighth Elder, able to stand on equal footing with Heavenly Kings. Naturally, they are discussing confidential and important matters. How could we spy?"
"True, some matters should not be speculated upon recklessly. This trip to the Ancient Emperor Continent still relies entirely on the Battle Saint King and the others."
Boom—
Suddenly, a tremendous explosion rang out, startling everyone on the ship. Looking over, it clearly originated from the grand hall where the Battle Saint King and the four Heavenly King Xuan Elders were.
What had happened?
Everyone was shocked.
And at that moment, the grand hall exploded. A slender figure shot into the sky, his wild black hair dancing in the wind, a trace of golden blood staining the corner of his mouth—conspicuously, it was none other than the Battle Saint King.
Only, the Battle Saint King's current state was special. His entire body radiated an unprecedented, terrifying aura that surpassed the Saint Vault, surpassed Samsara, and was tinged with wisps of primordial Chaos Qi, allowing him to stand shoulder to shoulder with ancient Heavenly Kings.
Moreover, he wore a thirty-three-layer Chaos Dao Pagoda on his head and held a Primordial Battle Body in his hand. His entire being erupted with supreme aura, causing the various overlords to tremble and submit.
On the other side, the four Heavenly King Xuan Elders of the Ancient Divine Palace charged out, standing opposite the Battle Saint King. They also released their strongest, terrifying Heavenly King-level Dao auras, sweeping across the firmament. Mountains and valleys shook, all living beings within a radius of ten thousand li trembled rapidly, enveloped in a dreadful atmosphere.
The two sides faced each other from afar, their supreme pressures clashing fiercely, heaven and earth collapsing, space and time distorting!
The overlords on the ship were all dumbfounded. What on earth had happened? Why did the Battle Saint King and the Ancient Divine Palace's Heavenly Kings seem to be standing on opposing sides?
