The Saints of the three races joined forces, advancing into the past with all their might.
Each side had dozens to hundreds of powerhouses. With the three sides joining together, it was as if divine spirits descending from the Nine Heavens would be crushed like rotten wood and suppressed.
One after another, the young prodigies among the human race displayed formidable combat prowess.
For instance, the Crown Prince of the Xiang Kingdom raised his hand and unleashed a Heaven-Supporting Divine Seal. Its destructive power shattered heaven and earth as he confronted a Saint Phantom of the Ancient Saint level. The battle raged, shaking the skies and splitting the earth. After dozens to hundreds of exchanges, he shattered it, leaving only wisps of residual law traces dissipating into the world.
Another example was the Crown Prince of the Hua Kingdom, clad in silver armor like a silver-armored war god on the offensive. He similarly slew a Saint Phantom of the Ancient Saint level quite soon, not lagging far behind the Crown Prince of the Xiang Kingdom.
Then there was Xia Miao'er, who looked as pretty and adorable as a porcelain doll but possessed dual souls within one body. The other her appeared, incomparably cold and stern, her methods astonishing the world.
Wisps of Great Dao laws surged within her jade-white fingers and palms, actually evolving one world after another, hazy and indistinct as they manifested, displaying peerless combat power as she pushed forward into the past.
She bravely confronted a Saint Phantom of the half-step overlord level. The battle shook the heavens and split the earth, drawing everyone's attention. Many older-generation figures couldn't help but suck in cold breaths, shocked and awed.
Those figures of the empire crown prince level all turned their gazes over, astonishing brilliance flashing in their eyes.
Ye Chen also looked over. He had long known the strength of the other Xia Miao'er, who was even more powerful than her sister.
Finally, Xia Miao'er let out a clear shout, her eyes wide, her hair billowing. With the Earth Seal in her left hand and the Heaven Seal in her right—the dual Heaven and Earth Seals—she unfolded a world, enveloping and then shattering that half-step overlord level Saint Phantom.
Such prodigies were not burdens to the Saints but rather powerful core forces, far stronger than many older-generation figures.
Yet, seeing their natural expressions, one could tell these empire crown prince-level figures still had plenty of room to maneuver, with strength to spare.
As for other prodigies, though not as strong as these empire crown prince-level figures, even if they were only Demi-Saints, they could confront the weakest Saint Phantoms using various means, fighting to a stalemate.
The most powerful Saint Lord-level figures from the great empires were naturally even stronger. They confronted the Saint Lord-level existences among the Saint Phantoms. Their battles were far more intense than those of the young prodigies. Whether it was the Sovereign of the Xiang Kingdom, the Saint Lord of the Hua Kingdom, or the Sovereign of the Lan Kingdom, they all faced off. Only figures of their level could handle such opponents.
Among the demon race, the several demon lord-level existences led by the Azure Dragon Great Saint took action. Especially the Azure Dragon Great Saint, whose attacks manifested a colossal, enormous Azure Dragon phantom that soared across the sky, shattering everything in its path as it passed through, directly suppressing Saint Lord-level Saint Phantoms.
This was a terrifying display of combat power from a dragon race powerhouse with dragon blood flowing in their veins.
Among the beast race, the Heaven-Supporting Azure Ox manifested a body larger than mountains. Its blood energy erupted like a blazing divine furnace, capable of dispersing the blood-tainted aura and also oppressing the most powerful Saint Lord-level existences among the Saint Phantoms.
With the joint forces of the three races' Saints, it was simply crushing like rotten wood. Even the initial casualties were reduced many times over.
Countless blood-tainted auras were shattered. Numerous super-powerful figures successively entered, charging toward the deepest parts of the Hundred Battles Mountain Range, for the most dangerous wave had already ended.
The war chariots of the Xiang Kingdom, the battle wagons of the Hua Kingdom, and the powerhouses from the thirty-six empires, seventy-two Ancient Kingdoms, and the one hundred and eight nations took the lead, heading straight for the deepest parts without fear.
Other powerful figures also successively vanished into the depths, unwilling to fall behind.
Ye Chen also entered, but he traveled on the ground, concealed within the blood-tainted aura, difficult to detect.
Outside the Hundred Battles Mountain Range, the truly powerful had long since entered. Only numerous cultivators who wished to observe the battle remained, all below the Saint level, including some Demi-Saints.
But powerhouses of that level were filled with both apprehension and reverence toward the Hundred Battles Mountain Range, and also shock and awe toward the Saints. They simply couldn't insert themselves into a battle of that level, deeply aware that while they might reign supreme in their own regions, in such battles they would merely be cannon fodder sent to their deaths.
The various powerhouses were setting up Heaven-Piercing Divine Eye array patterns, tossing out large amounts of divine materials. Finally, they constructed a formation aimed at the deepest parts of the Hundred Battles Mountain Range, projecting most of the scenes—the Saints' Forbidden Army crushing everything like rotten wood along the way.
They could even see the deepest part, where a majestic divine pagoda floated and sank. It was thirty-three stories tall, with surging, turbulent primordial Chaos Qi overflowing like waterfalls, pouring down through the ninth heaven. The void in all six directions and eight wildernesses was splitting, unable to bear the weight of the ancient Qi.
"Is this the legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Dao Pagoda? Just a single wisp of primordial Chaos Qi incorporated into a Dao weapon is already extraordinary. With so much primordial Chaos Qi, I'm afraid even an immortal ancient weapon wouldn't have this much."
The powerhouses were all exclaiming in admiration, their eyes also burning with desire. Such a Chaos Supreme Treasure was absolutely peerless in the world, enough to make even divine spirits from the Nine Heavens go mad with envy.
Boom—
Suddenly, this stretch of heaven and earth trembled, drawing the attention of the powerhouses. Then, they discovered a streak of light shooting forth from the distant horizon, finally coming to a stop.
Upon closer inspection, it was an extraordinary jade carriage made entirely of Azure Sky Jasper, causing everyone present to involuntarily suck in a cold breath.
One must know that Azure Sky Jasper was a primary material for refining Heavenly King-level magical instruments. Even a palm-sized piece of Azure Sky Jasper, when refined into a Saint Lord-level Dao weapon, could enhance its quality by a notch, making it more extraordinary.
Now, such a large piece of Heavenly King-level primary material was here, merely refined into a jade carriage. How astonishing was that?
Many people's eyes turned red with envy.
Moreover, extraordinary dao patterns were inscribed on the jade carriage, and five Azure Divine Tigers served as the draft beasts. Each was a genuine Ancient Saint-level ancient exotic beast. Everything proved the extraordinary origins of the newcomer.
Even if a divine spirit were to travel, it probably wouldn't be more extravagant than this.
Who exactly was this newcomer?
The jade carriage was entirely enveloped in jade-green radiance, hazy and indistinct, naturally exuding a special heavenly majesty. It was impossible to probe the situation inside. But what was astonishing was that four ancient recluses at the peak of the Saint Treasury Realm appeared silently, having not entered the Hundred Battles Mountain Range.
Even more astonishing, the four peak Saint Treasury Realm ancient recluses landed before the jade carriage, displaying unprecedented reverence as they bowed respectfully: "This old servant pays respects to the Young Ancestor!"
Ancient recluses at the peak of the Saint Treasury Realm were absolutely figures of high status and great authority within the thirty-six empires and seventy-two Ancient Kingdoms. Even sovereigns would slightly bow to them, lowering themselves by half a generation.
Now, four such esteemed ancient recluses actually paid homage to the person within the jade carriage, addressing them as 'Young Ancestor.' The powerhouses were dumbfounded; how could the shock in their hearts be described?
Who exactly was this figure addressed as the Young Ancestor?
