Chapter 1042: Great Saint Body vs. Great Emperor

Chapter 1042: Dacheng Shengti VS Great Emperor

Chapter 1068: Quasi-Tian Level Dacheng Shengti VS Tianjing Level Great Emperor

Boom!

As the Shengti reactivated the Xue Ji Xian Jie, the sky of Da Chu shattered, unleashing a pressure that made the heavens and earth tremble with fear.

Excellent!

In the grand hall of Tianxuan Gate, everyone erupted in excited roars, for Ye Chen now truly possessed the power to confront the Tianmo Great Emperor head-on.

No one had expected Ye Chen to unlock the Xue Ji Xian Jie at this moment.

After all, Ye Chen was not a complete Huanggu Shengti; he had only inherited its essence without the divine repositories, making him merely half of a Huanggu Shengti. Even at full Dacheng, he would struggle against the Tianmo Emperor.

However, activating the Xue Ji Xian Jie changed everything entirely.

The Xue Ji Xian Jie represented the ultimate elevation of one's bloodline, a state of indestructibility that could fully compensate for Ye Chen's incompleteness as a Huanggu Shengti.

Boom!

The sky of Da Chu continued to shudder, unable to withstand Ye Chen's pressure, cracking inch by inch.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Countless soldiers and generals in the Tianmo army were crushed into ash under Ye Chen's overwhelming force, with even the demon troops and commanders prostrating on the ground.

Xue Ji Xian Jie—how intriguing!

High in the void, the Tianmo Great Emperor gazed toward the south with keen interest, his lips still curved in a smirk. His emperor eyes, filled with the essence of annihilation and reincarnation, gleamed with playful malice. The stronger Ye Chen became, the more excited he grew.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The world rumbled with a series of tremors.

Listening closely, it was the sound of footsteps—slow and rhythmic, as if each step carried the weight of a mountain, causing the earth to shake with every fall.

Ye Chen was approaching. On his forehead, an ancient Shengti mark had appeared, exclusive to the Huanggu Shengti and only visible after unlocking the Xue Ji Xian Jie. It was a supreme honor and a mark of defiance against the heavens.

He came to a stop, stepping into the void above Beizhen Cangyuan. Clad in the Huntian battle armor, gripping the Lvtian great halberd, with the Daluo divine cauldron hovering above his head and the Huangjin Sheng Sea under his feet, his entire body blazed with golden flames. His powerful Shengti physique resembled a masterpiece forged from pure gold, embodying the might of an unparalleled war god from the eight desolate realms.

At that moment, the entire Tianmo army froze, too intimidated to meet the Shengti's majestic presence, let alone launch an attack.

Though the demon soldiers and generals dared not advance, a graceful figure emerged from the northern void, descending like a supreme queen with a cold demeanor and unmatched elegance. It was the sole remaining demon sovereign under the Tianmo Great Emperor: Tiannv Mojun.

"You cannot defeat the Tianmo Emperor."

Tiannv Mojun halted her approach, standing thousands of miles away and gazing at Ye Chen with an icy expression, her soft voice as enchanting as a melody from the nine heavens.

Ye Chen remained silent, simply lifting his foot and striding forward, crossing thousands of miles in a single step. He swung a massive golden hand through the air, carrying world-ending power toward Tiannv Mojun. Before it even landed, the void began to collapse.

At this point, there was nothing left to say. Regardless of your connection to Ah Li from the past, I must end you.

Tiannv Mojun frowned slightly and immediately formed a hand seal with one hand.

Behind her, a colossal shadowy figure materialized, that of a woman whose face was indistinct but whose aura rivaled Tiannv Mojun's own splendor.

This towering shadow proved incredibly powerful, managing to block Ye Chen's descending hand.

Nishijie Lunhui!

Ye Chen murmured softly, and within the palm of his massive hand, a Lunhui seal emerged.

In an instant, the shadowy figure behind Tiannv Mojun disintegrated, and all her divine abilities, secret techniques, illusions, and Dao principles vanished into nothingness.

Tiannv Mojun dropped to one knee on the ground, as if submitting in defeat, her sky-piercing strength utterly unable to withstand Ye Chen's single strike.

Ye Chen withdrew his power and continued walking. As he passed Tiannv Mojun, her entire form was pulverized into a wisp of a soul by his overwhelming presence, dissipating completely into the world.

This scene struck terror into the hearts of the Tianmo soldiers and generals. That was Tiannv Mojun, the mightiest demon sovereign under the Tianmo Great Emperor, yet she couldn't even withstand one palm from the Shengti. Just how powerful was this Huanggu Shengti?

Now, all eyes turned toward the direction of the Tianmo Great Emperor.

It wasn't just the Tianmo army; even Donghuang Taixin and the others from Tianxuan Gate looked that way. The true battle was about to begin. If Ye Chen won, Da Chu would survive; if he lost, Da Chu would fall.

The Tianmo Great Emperor had already risen from his throne, casually stretching his neck with a teasing laugh. "You now have the qualifications to fight me, but that's all you have."

Ye Chen stood like a mountain, silently staring at the Tianmo Great Emperor.

Even with his current cultivation and combat strength, facing the Tianmo Great Emperor still evoked a deep sense of awe in his heart. This was a Great Emperor, suppressed or not, who towered over the world.

"My offer still stands," the Tianmo Great Emperor said as he stepped down from his throne, smirking at Ye Chen. "If you submit to the Tianmo Domain, you will become the supreme demon sovereign under me."

"Fighting an emperor does not guarantee defeat."

Ye Chen finally spoke, his tone calm and steady.

"How naive!" The Tianmo Great Emperor chuckled and shook his head. "Do you truly believe that achieving Dacheng Shengti and unlocking Xue Ji Xian Jie gives you a chance? You underestimate the Great Emperor far too much."

"Di Huang."

Ye Chen offered no rebuttal, simply uttering two words softly.

Di Huang!

At the mention of that name, the Tianmo Great Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he understood the implication.

Di Huang, recognized across the myriad realms as the strongest Shengti, had once, in ancient times, fought alone against five Great Emperors of the Tianmo Domain to protect Yue Shang's ascension. It was a legendary tale still celebrated today, with his feats unmatched.

For the Tianmo Domain, it was a shameful chapter—five Great Emperors blocked at the gates of the myriad realms, and by none other than a single Dacheng Huanggu Shengti.

"Senior Di Huang fought five emperors alone; now, as his successor, I face you alone—is that enough?"

Ye Chen stared directly at the Tianmo Great Emperor without flinching, now worthy to meet his gaze as an equal.

"Very well, excellent." The Tianmo Great Emperor laughed and struck suddenly, his palm blotting out the sky as it pressed down on Ye Chen, carrying devastating pressure that turned everything in its path to dust, collapsing the void instantly.

"This is not merely a destined battle between Shengti and Great Emperor; it is the feud between Da Chu and the Tianmo Domain."

Ye Chen surged upward against the heavens, swinging his halberd.

"The blood debt of ninety million souls on this land—I, Ye Chen, will collect it." With that, his halberd carved out a river of stars.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the Tianmo Great Emperor's sky-covering seal collided with the star river from Ye Chen's halberd.

The world shook violently, mountains crumbled, and Ye Chen was forced back, blood trickling from his lips. Yet, the Tianmo Great Emperor's palm also bore a wound. Though simple, the clash had incorporated countless divine transformations.

Fight!

Ye Chen roared and charged back into the void, swinging his halberd once more. It fused with hundreds of divine techniques, infused with chaotic Dao principles, bloodline power, and invincible will—a strike capable of world destruction.

"Overreaching!"

The Tianmo Great Emperor snorted coldly, raising one hand to shatter the vast starry heavens, transforming it into a boundless sea of stars. Every wisp of stellar energy felt like an eight-thousand-zhang mountain, crushing the entire world.

Boom!

Another collision ensued, and Ye Chen was shaken back again, his insides churning as he spat out fresh blood.

The Tianmo Great Emperor advanced with a single step, his finger piercing like a beam of dark light through ancient ages.

On the spot, Ye Chen's Shengti was pierced through.

"Return the favor with a punch!"

Ye Chen's voice rang out firmly as he combined nine Bahuang Fists into one, blasting through the vast void.

"You're far from it!"

The Tianmo Great Emperor sneered with contempt, thrusting out a palm that summoned a terrifying sea of demons.

This demonic sea roiled with billions of souls, echoing with mournful wails, capable of dissolving heavenly forces. Infused with imperial Dao principles, it was overwhelmingly powerful, leaving one helpless against it.

Though Ye Chen's punch was heaven-defying, it sank into the demonic sea like quicksand, its power completely neutralized.

Nishijie Lunhui, with ten thousand Dao laws!

Ye Chen swung his halberd again, incorporating the power of Lunhui.

"Imperial Dao, Demon World Heaven!"

The Tianmo Great Emperor shouted coldly, forming a Taiji with his left hand from yin and yang, and a Wuji from the cosmos with his right, creating a vast demonic realm centered on himself.

Pfft!

Ye Chen was immediately crushed, his Shengti cracking open under the imperial Dao principles, which he could scarcely comprehend.

"Imperial Dao, Sealed for Eternity!"

The Tianmo Great Emperor unleashed another supreme technique, his words echoing with ethereal authority like that of a world ruler. Imperial Dao principles filled the void, sealing the world's Dao and freezing everything in that instant.

Ye Chen felt a powerful binding restraint him, locking his bloodline power and chaotic Dao principles in place.

The Tianmo Great Emperor advanced from the opposite void, his eyes radiating imperial majesty like divine orbs, firing thunderous bolts to eradicate the one who defied him.

Tian Zhao!

In a moment of crisis, Ye Chen abruptly activated his Xianlun Eye, sacrificing his lifespan.

However, Tian Zhao targeted not the thunderous bolts but the eternal seal itself.

Tian Zhao wove together the forces of time and space, a forbidden power existing between dimensions, perfectly suited to break the imperial seal and free him.

As for the Xianlun Eye, it had been sealed by Tiannv Mojun earlier but was unlocked with Ye Chen's Dacheng Shengti, now bolstering him against the Tianmo Great Emperor's imperial bindings.

Zheng!

The thunder from the Tianmo Great Emperor's divine eyes had already arrived.

In the final moment, Ye Chen burst free from the restraints, instantly teleporting thousands of feet away, then flipping his hand to obliterate the thunder.

"I underestimated you!"

The Tianmo Great Emperor sneered and crossed the void in a step, his hand like a divine blade slashing through illusions.

Ye Chen quickly raised his halberd but was still knocked back unsteadily by the Tianmo Great Emperor's palm.

"Break!"

With Ye Chen's thunderous roar, his Shengti power surged, his battle blood boiling like fire, resisting the pressure and landing a punch that sent the Tianmo Great Emperor retreating. He followed with a halberd swing, carving out another star river.

The Tianmo Great Emperor's expression darkened slightly as he used one hand to manifest the Great Dao, pulverizing Ye Chen's star river.

Shen Shang!

Ye Chen stepped through space in an instant, appearing close and firing a divine beam from his forehead.

"This technique is useless against me!"

To Ye Chen's surprise, the Tianmo Great Emperor ignored the Shen Shang entirely, its unparalleled divine beam causing him no harm whatsoever.
