"Heavenly King-level divine might!?"
"What? Could it be that Venerable Zi Tian has already successfully stepped into the Heavenly King realm?"
Everyone was shocked, with more members of the demon race feeling both joy and worry.
They were joyful because another peerless Heavenly King had appeared among the demon race, but worried because once Venerable Zi Tian unleashed Heavenly King-level divine might, it would definitely be sensed by the rules of the Ancient Emperor Continent and teleported to the Divine Realm. For the demon race, this would be a huge loss, depriving them of a great deterrent force.
"You're overthinking it. Old Vine Zi Tian has merely borrowed a Heavenly King-level Great Dao Ancient Weapon. Breaking through to the Heavenly King realm? With its aptitude, how could it possibly achieve that? Ridiculous." The Peacock King sneered coldly, striking down the demon race powerhouses without any regard, yet also making them secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
That Heavenly King-level Great Dao Ancient Weapon was a pot, its entire body seemingly forged from azure-gold, radiating surging azure-gold divine radiance and releasing wisps of Heavenly King-level Great Dao divine might that suppressed the cosmos. Held in Venerable Zi Tian's grasp, it was almost fully revived, truly possessing the absolute divine might of that forbidden level.
"Qian, today is your death sentence. Die!"
Boom—
The vast expanse of heaven and earth was completely enveloped by endless azure light. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths trembled, and the void itself seemed on the verge of collapsing.
If not for the three thousand Divine Islands of the Demon God Hall, which possessed methods left behind by the Primordial Times Demon God, all the Divine Islands would have been utterly shattered without exception.
Under the vast divine might that drowned the sky and earth, everyone felt fear and their hearts trembled.
This was the power of a Heavenly King-level Great Dao Ancient Weapon. When revived, it was equivalent to a Heavenly King going to war.
With just this one strike, it shattered heaven and earth, pulverized the vacuum, obliterating everything!
"Hahaha, Qian, this is the price for your arrogan—"
However, before Venerable Zi Tian's ecstatic sentence could be fully uttered, the next moment it was horrified to discover that within that shattered vacuum, Qian's figure was still standing there, completely unharmed. He stood there, only his black hair flying and scattering in the wind, exuding an aura of wild arrogance.
He stood with one hand raised to the heavens, blocking the attacking azure-gold divine pot. His palm flowed with profound jade radiance as he stood there completely unscathed. He turned his head to look at Venerable Zi Tian, revealing a faint smile—a contemptuous one. "Is this your sure-kill strike?"
The whole world was shocked!
Not just Venerable Zi Tian, but even the other demon race powerhouses were all dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.
It was too terrifying. A supreme powerhouse wielding a Heavenly King-level Great Dao Ancient Weapon was almost equivalent to a Heavenly King descending to wage war, absolutely capable of sweeping through supreme powerhouses and shattering the heavens.
Yet Qian had forcefully blocked it, completely unharmed.
Was he even human?
Only the Peacock King deeply understood the immense power of Ye Chen's Battle Sacred Body, which could absolutely withstand such a Great Dao Ancient Weapon.
Venerable Zi Tian roared, "Come back to me! I refuse to believe you can truly withstand a Heavenly King-level Great Dao Ancient Weapon. You must be holding another one to block it!"
It exerted all its effort, summoning the azure-gold divine pot to return, erupting with world-destroying, fiery azure light that could absolutely pulverize everything.
But a terrifying scene unfolded. Ye Chen simply opened his five fingers and grabbed the azure-gold divine pot. No matter how fearsome and world-destroying the Heavenly King-level Great Dao divine might was, he remained unmoving. The wisps of divine might striking his body emitted metallic clangs, yet caused no damage.
The azure-gold divine pot struggled fiercely but was held fast by Ye Chen, unable to break free, causing everyone's expressions to change.
Everyone finally understood: this Qian's strength had long surpassed the category of a supreme powerhouse.
To call him a Heavenly King? Yet he wasn't, otherwise the rule power of the Ancient Emperor Continent would have descended long ago to forcibly teleport him to the Divine Realm.
But if not, how could he possess combat power far exceeding the supreme powerhouse level?
At this moment, Ye Chen made his move. From between his brows shot forth strands of Order Divine Chains, allowing him to temporarily grasp a portion of the Great Dao laws. With a raise of his hand, he directly executed a technique—the Six Directions Heaven-Sealing Art, a sealing divine technique he had perfected, further enhanced by his martial will and blood energy, sealing the azure-gold divine pot.
Truthfully, even a supreme powerhouse couldn't fully revive it, at most reviving it past the halfway point. Moreover, by cutting off the opponent's divine power infusion for revival, coupled with the sealing power of Ye Chen's peerless Saint Body, it was enough to suppress it.
But this also demonstrated Ye Chen's profound cultivation. It sounded simple, but aside from Ye Chen, probably only an Imperial Son-level figure could achieve this at this level.
"What? Even a Heavenly King Ancient Weapon has been sealed? This Qian is far too terrifying!"
This scene made everyone gasp in shock. Qian's methods were truly peerless throughout the ages. Who could surpass him?
Venerable Zi Tian was so frightened it disregarded its status as a venerable supreme powerhouse and fled. But escape from Ye Chen's hands was impossible.
A terrifying great battle erupted. Venerable Zi Tian fought desperately, knowing that without using its strongest methods, escape from the Battle Saint King's grasp was impossible.
It spared no cost, burning the Great Dao divine power within its body. Its entire being was elevated to the limit, erupting at all costs, even employing a demon race enhancement secret technique, becoming significantly stronger, its body half-stepping into the Heavenly King realm.
In this state, Venerable Zi Tian possessed peerless might, actually able to truly contend with Ye Chen.
They fought from the ground into the ninth heaven, even into the depths of the stars. Endless divine power erupted, almost like two Heavenly Kings waging war, shaking an area of tens of millions of li, radiating across the boundless starry sky, drawing all eyes.
Stars were shattered one after another, annihilated, their divine might shaking heaven and earth.
However, Venerable Zi Tian's power came from burning its potential and lifespan, paying a terrible price. The Battle Saint King, on the other hand, truly possessed that kind of peerless combat power.
But none of this could change the outcome. Qian's strength had reached an unfathomably profound level. From beyond the domain came a roar: "Qian, what realm are you actually at?"
Boom—
No answer was heard, only an explosion of endless golden light that erupted in an instant. The battle beyond the domain lasted only a short while before quickly ending.
A towering purple heavenly vine crashed down from the sky beyond the domain, collapsing vast mountain ranges within the demon territory, the rumbling sounds unceasing.
Great splashes of purple sap-blood stained the wild mountain ranges, dyeing them purple.
Thus, a generation's Venerable Zi Tian fell, slain!
This was absolutely a major event that could shake the entire Ancient Emperor Continent three times over.
Qian was invincible!
Stronger than a supreme powerhouse, young and vigorous, standing on the ascending ladder of the human body, towering at the pinnacle of the mortal world, unmatched among men, with none to rival him, undefeatable.
He was almost about to take that other step, achieving the supreme Heavenly King realm.
In a daze, everyone seemed to witness a peerless Great Emperor rising on the path of cultivation, his might shaking the past, present, and future!
