Chapter 1193: Another One

Boom!

Everyone looked up at the sky, and once again, a figure plummeted down, reducing the already shattered battle platform to mere dust.

However, this time it wasn't Gui Huang Shen Zi, but Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s condition was no better than Gui Huang Shen Zi's had been earlier—his entire body was covered in blood and mangled bone, with countless wounds everywhere. There was even a gruesome bloody hole in his chest, from which fresh blood gushed forth.

Seeing the formidable sacred body reduced to such a state, the onlookers had every reason to believe in Gui Huang Shen Zi’s formidable strength.

Yet, the spectators might not know what Ye Chen had encountered before facing Gui Huang Shen Zi.

That was a Quasi-Saint, no less, and one on the verge of undergoing the Tian Ren Five Decays—immensely powerful. Ye Chen had been pursued for over 300,000 li and barely escaped, paying a heavy price in the process.

Come again!

Ye Chen roared, his vital energy surging like a torrent, as he charged back into the sky.

Immediately, the heavens rumbled with thunderous noise, shaking violently, and without another word, an earth-shattering battle erupted once more.

Below, the crowd sighed and clicked their tongues in amazement. This was not what one would expect from a battle between Tian realm and Huang realm cultivators—it was on par with Quasi-Saints clashing!

Ye Chen has already won!

The many Supreme Elders of Ling Xiao Palace murmured thoughtfully.

This statement was spot-on, and no one from the four directions objected.

After all, Ye Chen was only at the Tian realm, while Gui Huang Shen Zi was at the Huang realm, with a full Quasi-Huang realm gap between them. To fight Gui Huang Shen Zi to a stalemate was, in a sense, already a victory for Ye Chen.

Everyone was certain that if they were at the same level, Gui Huang Shen Zi would be defeated without a doubt.

Huang Gu Sheng Ti—invincible at the same realm.

This mythic reputation was not just empty talk; no matter the bloodline, it would be utterly suppressed.

Another one has fallen!

Someone suddenly cried out in alarm.

Boom!

No sooner had the words been spoken than a figure crashed to the ground like a meteor, creating a deep crater in the earth. Upon closer inspection, it was Gui Huang Shen Zi, his entire divine body nearly destroyed.

Ah!

Gui Huang Shen Zi howled like a mad dog, without a second thought, charging straight into the sky.

What followed was a bizarre scene.

The two seemed to have an unspoken understanding: Gui Huang Shen Zi would be knocked down, engage in a fierce fight in the heavens, and then Ye Chen would be knocked down. When Ye Chen soared back up defiantly, Gui Huang Shen Zi would soon follow suit.

This back-and-forth continued for over a dozen rounds.

What was once a fine battle platform had been smashed into a deep abyss.

The duel, which started at dawn, dragged on until nightfall.

The onlookers marveled in astonishment—if they didn't know better, they'd think these two were fighting for the palace master position, going all out like their lives depended on it!

My eyes hurt!

The Ling Xiao Palace master averted his gaze and began rubbing his eyes.

My eyes are sore!

Below, the numerous disciples and elders also started rubbing their eyes. Staring upward all day at such dazzling scenes would make even cultivators' vision blur and their heads buzz.

These two have impressive endurance!

The many sons-in-law of Ling Xiao Palace spoke with a tone of sincere admiration.

"They fight so fiercely—what must their prowess be like in other areas? But why is the gap so wide among us who are all sons-in-law?"

Boom!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, another figure was struck down from the sky, though the spectators were no longer surprised.

This time, it was Gui Huang Shen Zi, beaten so badly that even his own Gui Huang wouldn't recognize him.

Ah!

Still howling like a mad dog, Gui Huang Shen Zi charged toward the nine heavens once more.

"I'll let you come up!"

Ye Chen descended and delivered a solid kick to Gui Huang Shen Zi's head. The one who had just rushed into the sky was sent crashing back to the earth in the next second, landing in a pool of blood.

"I don't believe it!"

Gui Huang Shen Zi leaped up immediately, his face twisted and demonic.

"Then I'll beat you until you do!"

Ye Chen landed this time, slapping Gui Huang Shen Zi down with a palm, then grabbing him by the legs.

Seeing this, Bi You below simply turned away, as if recalling all too well how Ye Chen had used this wrestling technique in Da Chu, leaving many crippled.

Sure enough, Ye Chen swung Gui Huang Shen Zi up and slammed him into the ground with a boom.

Puff!

Gui Huang Shen Zi spat blood on the spot, his internal organs nearly bursting from the impact.

The onlookers collectively twitched their mouths—they had never seen immortals fight like this. It was fortunate Gui Huang Shen Zi's physical body was tough; any ordinary Huang realm cultivator would have been reduced to pulp.

Ah!

Gui Huang Shen Zi roared and struggled, trying to break free, but Ye Chen gave him no chance.

"Let me hear you scream!"

Ye Chen unleashed his divine might, repeatedly swinging Gui Huang Shen Zi up and slamming him into the ground.

The banging sounds became the only noise in the heavens and earth. Each impact made the ground tremble, and each time, the spectators' hearts skipped a beat.

Not to mention being slammed—it hurts just to watch!

Many felt a physical discomfort. Being grabbed and slammed like that by a Huang Gu Sheng Ti would leave anyone crippled.

"You insolent brat, stop this at once!"

The elders of Gui Huang Zong could no longer sit still and stepped forward. They had thought their divine son could mount a comeback, but now, if they didn't intervene, things would get ugly.

Ye Chen was sensible enough—faced with three Quasi-Saints, he immediately released Gui Huang Shen Zi.

Looking at Gui Huang Shen Zi now, he was utterly disfigured, his body twisted, his internal organs, meridians, and limbs all shattered, and even his Yuan Shen severely wounded.

What shocked everyone was that Gui Huang Shen Zi hadn't fainted yet.

"I don't believe it!"

He roared, spewing fragments of his organs with the blood, unable to accept this reality.

Who was he? The divine son of Gui Huang Zong, bearer of a noble bloodline, fused with the essence bone of the Xian Clan Qiong Qi, his combat power greatly enhanced, and a genuine Huang realm cultivator. Yet, he had been utterly defeated by a Tian realm opponent.

What he found most intolerable was that he had lost to Ye Chen again. At the auction, he had been so enraged he vomited blood and fainted in public. Now, in front of thousands, he was directly crippled.

From this day forward, the name Gui Huang Shen Zi would become the biggest joke in this star domain.

Puff!

As he roared, Gui Huang Shen Zi spat another mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot. His Dao principles' foundation was fractured, and his cultivation would likely stall at the Huang realm. His pride would vanish with the end of this battle.

"Ye Chen!"

The three Quasi-Saints of Gui Huang Zong roared in anger, unleashing their full Quasi-Saint pressure.

"This is Ling Xiao Palace!"

The Ling Xiao Palace master appeared with great authority, accompanied by many Quasi-Saints, their powerful pressure merging into one, shaking the immortal mountains of this realm and nearly forcing the three Gui Huang Zong Quasi-Saints to their knees.

"Good, very good!"

The three Quasi-Saints were furious but dared not clash with Ling Xiao Palace. They promptly lifted Gui Huang Shen Zi and ascended to the heavens.

This scene was a massive irony. They had come with such momentum, thinking they could show off, but instead, they ended up humiliated, their divine son publicly crippled.

After the three left, everyone turned to look at Ye Chen, their gazes completely changed.

"What a divine figure! In this three-way balanced star domain, you've publicly crippled the divine sons of two major powers. That Huang Gu Sheng Ti bloodline is no joke—when you fight, you go straight for crippling your opponent."
