Undoubtedly, Imperial Wuming was absolutely fearsome; otherwise, he would not be worthy of being called an Imperial Son-level figure. He had once contended with other ancient Imperial Sons in the Mythical Era, boasting a brilliant and glorious record.
Facing those outside the Imperial Son rank, he basically swept through them all, with none able to withstand more than ten of his moves.
This was the manifestation of his supreme invincibility. Unexpectedly, in this era, he encountered such an invincible one, originating from the Battle Saint lineage, who had elevated the advantages of that lineage's battle physique to the limit. Purely in terms of physical combat power, he could actually match him.
That level of physical combat power was even stronger than the physical battle bodies of Imperial Son-level figures.
Even Imperial Wuming had to admit this astonishing fact.
Imperial Wuming sighed inwardly; this Qian before him was a pure warrior born for battle!
Ye Chen had long been fighting with boiling blood. He felt the great dao laws within his body stirring restlessly, actually wanting to break through the law shackles and burst forth.
Unfortunately, it was impossible; the resistance was too great, and they could not truly break through.
But he simply operated the unparalleled combat power of the Battle Sacred Body, purely sweeping forward, shattering the myriad heavenly stars, sweeping away everything, and engaging in a series of terrifying great collisions with Imperial Wuming.
This was a peak battle at the level of the young generation's supreme, unprecedented.
Ye Chen's gaze was piercingly bright, his entire person boiling with fervor!
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The two young supremes battled across the starry sky, unleashing absolutely fearsome supreme power that surpassed the True King realm. They could collide thousands of times in an instant, continuously shattering the void and directly collapsing vast stretches of land.
This was the power of the young supremes, also the manifestation of Samsara-level combat power. Both were in the Saint Treasury Realm, yet they had forcibly stepped half a level beyond, reaching this profound and mysterious level.
Even with each strike, a peak Saint Treasury expert would suffer heavy injuries.
This was the terrifying power of the young supreme level.
During this period, Qian Yue once again employed all the Battle Saint Art methods like Severing Heaven Finger, Heaven-Shaking Palm, and Heaven-Suppressing Seal, along with some special techniques like Joint Techniques and Severing Heaven Fist. Accompanied by the eruption of blood energy, he continuously attacked, operating world-suppressing combat power to press forward, engaging in a series of terrifying great collisions with Imperial Wuming's various supreme divine abilities, exploding with brilliant divine radiance—truly intense and world-shaking.
During the battle, both sides had blood splattering. Even Ye Chen's supreme Saint Body was no exception, with golden saintly blood flying as well, because Imperial Wuming's combat power was astonishingly high, beyond his imagination, capable of breaking his Saint Body's defense.
This was the most fearsome opponent, surpassing every opponent he had encountered before.
In the end, they both fought their way back from beyond the domain to the peak of the battlefield.
Boom!—
The peak of the battlefield cracked open with thick fissures. After Ye Chen and Imperial Wuming exchanged one final blow, they passed by each other and stood apart, gazing at each other from a distance.
In this battle, they had gained a certain level of understanding of each other. Moreover, it was not a life-and-death struggle; both had held back some strength. Otherwise, it would not have been merely blood splattering; it could have easily resulted in terrifying scenes like severed arms or torn thighs, or even complete bodily destruction.
Imperial Wuming stood in a patch of void, divine radiance flowing around him. The injuries on his body quickly recovered, leaving him unscathed. He regained that transcendent, peerless, unparalleled elegance, with each strand of hair dripping with brilliant divine radiance, overflowing with light, possessing a special charm—transcendent and inspiring worship.
His gaze was calm as he actively nodded toward Ye Chen, saying, "You are very powerful, beyond my imagination, even surpassing those few Battle Saints from the Mythical Era. You have surprised me and made me look forward to it. When you achieve the Heavenly King realm, a battle between you and me will be even more spectacular. As you are now, you are still somewhat lacking."
Indeed!
Ye Chen had long sensed that Imperial Son Wuming seemed to be hiding an even more powerful force, not yet utilized.
He had suspected this earlier, and now the suspicion was confirmed. The other party should have reached the Heavenly King realm, but due to the rules of the Ancient Emperor Continent, he had concealed and suppressed a large portion of his power.
However, as the son of an ancient Great Emperor, he should be able to ignore the rules and freely utilize that world-suppressing combat power of the Heavenly King realm.
This also shocked the many saints of the three clans observing the battle outside the Hundred Battles Mountain Range. The battle had reached such an intense level, yet Imperial Son Wuming had still been hiding a great deal of power. It could be deduced that he was already a Peerless Heavenly King.
Although Qian was truly very powerful, compared to a true Heavenly King, he was still far behind.
Ye Chen let out a slight sigh, showing both surprise and regret, slowly shaking his head: "What a pity. I truly wish to have a peak battle with you. If not for these law shackles, even if you are a Heavenly King, I could still have a peak battle."
He felt regret because he, too, was restrained by the law shackles binding him, always unable to display his true strength. Otherwise, even if the other party was a Heavenly King, he could rely on chaos secret techniques to break into that realm and reign supreme.
As his words fell, the world fell into silence.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath, looking at Qian. Could it be that he was also hiding his true strength, also a Divine Spirit-level expert at the Heavenly King realm?
Even Imperial Son Wuming was taken aback, clearly somewhat shocked as he looked at Ye Chen.
"Are you a Heavenly King?" Imperial Wuming slowly spoke, with a tone of disbelief.
Similarly, countless people focused their attention, staring intently at Ye Chen, feeling tense, closely observing.
"No," Ye Chen shook his head, making many people sigh in relief while also feeling some regret.
But then, between Ye Chen's fingers and palm, strands of primordial Chaos Qi suddenly appeared, pressing down on the void. His calm voice resounded throughout the world: "When I truly intend to act, I can undergo Extreme Sublimation and reach the Heavenly King realm."
These words were even more shocking than if Ye Chen were a Heavenly King. The barrier of the Heavenly King realm was unbreakable; this was an irreversible truth since ancient times.
Because between the Saint Treasury Realm and the Heavenly King realm, there was still the Reincarnation realm—the gap was too large, impossible to span so many realms, even for an Imperial Son.
Being able to undergo Extreme Sublimation within the Saint Treasury Realm, reaching a new height, was called the Samsara level—a manifestation of strength above Saint Treasury but below Heavenly King.
In fact, even reaching the Samsara level was the limit. Even using enhancement secret techniques could not break the Heavenly King barrier and ascend to the Heavenly King realm. This was a truth throughout the ages, impossible even in the Mythical Era.
But today, the mysterious Qian seemed to truly be able to reach the Heavenly King realm.
Boom!—
At this moment, the strongest bloody light exploded beyond the domain, with stars falling chaotically and the myriad heavenly stars trembling and shaking.
The Divine Spirit-level saintly shadow was ultimately jointly blasted apart by the three supreme powerholders, with strong bloody light permeating the Starry Land.
The three supreme powerholders of the clans returned from beyond the domain, descending once more.
At this moment, the five supreme powerholders descended upon the peak of the battlefield, their targets all fixed on the Chaos Dao Pagoda.
