Chapter 1277: Invincible Myth

Da Luo Shenzi roared, his face twisted like a demon's.

He stood in the starry sky, radiant like a blazing sun, emitting dazzling immortal light that made it impossible to look directly at him.

Zheng! Zheng!

Suddenly, the resounding clang of swords echoed through the cosmos. Da Luo Shenzi formed a supreme sword seal with his hands, pointing skyward toward Ye Chen. Countless divine rays burst forth, raining down like a shower of light.

This was a deadly killing technique. The sword beams were incredibly fierce and yang, carrying destructive divine power. The clanging was piercing, causing onlookers' divine seas to buzz and their minds to tremble.

Was this the Wan Jian Shen Tong?

Seeing it for the first time, it was indeed overwhelmingly dominant!

But no one knew how much of the Jian Shen's sword intent Da Luo Shenzi had truly comprehended.

Many raised their eyes to watch the descending sword beams, their expressions a mix of shock and awe.

Ye Chen remained expressionless, his two fingers joined to form a sword seal. With one sword, he summoned ten thousand more, wielding them as divine weapons and pointing them toward the heavens.

Could he also use Wan Jian Shen Tong?

As the descending Wan Jian Shen Tong clashed with the ascending Ten Thousand Swords Ascending to Heaven, people from all directions exclaimed in surprise.

In the midst of the exclamations, Ye Chen's and Da Luo Shenzi's sword beams collided, sparking brilliant flashes. The metallic clashes were crisp, as sword met sword and ten thousand swords faced ten thousand more, painting a magnificent scene above Zang Hai. Bursts of sparks fell like a shower of stars.

Kill!

Da Luo Shenzi bellowed in fury, charging down from the sky.

He was like a divine king ruling the nine heavens, with a scorching sun hovering above him, radiating brilliance. His Da Luo divine abilities were extraordinarily powerful.

Fight!

Ye Chen snorted coldly, surging upward against the heavens.

He was like a god of war, devouring the eight directions, striding across the vast starry river with golden light exploding around him. His invincible battle intent dominated the nine skies.

Boom! Bang!

The epic battle erupted in an instant.

Bang! Boom!

The battlefield was immense, stirring up massive waves and bloody tides in Zang Hai.

Ye Chen and Da Luo Shenzi fought in the void above Zang Hai, dividing that realm into two worlds—one backed by the vast starry expanse, the other supported by the blazing sun domain. They unleashed supreme divine abilities and secret techniques in a world-shaking confrontation. Each collision shattered the heavens and split the earth, filling onlookers with dread.

Retreat!

The spectators paled and retreated one after another, gazing fearfully at the barrier.

Those two were too powerful, their combat strength far surpassing their own levels. Though they were in the Huang Jing, they fought like saints. This peak duel at the Huang Jing level made even many veteran experts feel ashamed.

It's the mysterious Huang Jing expert who's winning!

Outside Zang Hai, an elder cultivator stroked his beard and remarked casually.

No one refuted his words.

Based on the current situation, Ye Chen, at Huang Jing Level One, was holding his own against Da Luo Shenzi at the Huang Jing peak. Despite Da Luo Shenzi's cultivation advantage, he couldn't suppress Ye Chen. In a sense, this meant Da Luo Shenzi had already lost—an undeniable fact.

How can he be this strong!

The Da Luo Jian Zong experts surrounding Zang Hai all furrowed their brows.

Ye Chen's strength far exceeded their expectations. They believed Da Luo Shenzi to be unbeatable among peers, yet even with absolute cultivation superiority, he could only fight Ye Chen to a draw.

Wait, he's an Archaic Sacred Body!

An elder saint narrowed his eyes, seemingly sensing the Sacred Body's origin from Ye Chen's vital energy.

Though the old saint's voice was low, it was caught by those around.

Archaic Sacred Body?

Everyone who heard it changed the way they looked at Ye Chen.

The Archaic Sacred Body was an incredibly dominant bloodline, on par with emperors, with one appearing only once every hundred thousand years at most. It was the true embodiment of invincibility among peers and the real undefeated myth.

No wonder!

Gazing at Ye Chen above Zang Hai, many murmured to themselves.

No wonder even Da Luo Shenzi was being suppressed!

In terms of bloodline, the Jiu Yang Zhen Ti still fell short of the Archaic Sacred Body!

This one cannot be allowed to live!

The Da Luo Jian Zong saint said coldly, a flash of chilling light in his eyes.

If even the outsiders could see it, how could they not? Ye Chen was a heaven-defying Archaic Sacred Body bloodline, far beyond their expectations. If he were allowed to grow, no one could stop him, and for Da Luo Jian Zong, he would become a terrifying nightmare.

Boom!

Amid the shock, a thunderous boom echoed from Zang Hai, and a blood-soaked figure plummeted from the sky.

It was Da Luo Shenzi, his body nearly shattered, with exposed white bones. Even with the Phoenix blood aiding his recovery, he couldn't halt the spread of his injuries, and his Jiu Yang divine repository was cracking.

Ye Chen stood in the void, his form disheveled but otherwise unharmed.

Compared to Da Luo Shenzi, he was far calmer, his expression unchanging from start to finish. It was an aura of invincibility, for one who had slain great emperors had the right to overlook the world.

I don't believe it!

From the rolling waves of Zang Hai, Da Luo Shenzi burst forth, his face grotesquely twisted, more terrifying than the vengeful spirits of Zang Hai.

He had transformed, with ancient divine patterns etched on his forehead, as if he had activated some powerful forbidden technique. His combat strength surged, every strand of his yang-fresh blood seeming to expel bloodline essence.

The battle had now exceeded three hundred rounds, and as one of the main fighters, he had also recognized Ye Chen's bloodline.

He refused to accept it, refused to be suppressed. He was Da Luo Shenzi, bearing the Jiu Yang bloodline, and in this star domain, no one had ever shattered his myth of undefeated peers. But now? His combat prowess was utterly defeated, his bloodline completely outmatched. The once lofty figure had never felt such rage.

Kill!

With a roar, Da Luo Shenzi raised one hand to the sky, gripping a blazing sun and smashing it toward Ye Chen from across the heavens.

Ye Chen soared upward, his palm simple yet containing myriad divine abilities. Every wisp of aura flowing from his fingers was as heavy as a mountain, crushing Da Luo Shenzi's blazing sun with a single strike.

The battle reignited, even more grand in scale.

Da Luo Shenzi had activated his forbidden technique, his power exploding to insane levels, bordering on madness.

Ye Chen responded calmly, unleashing secret techniques endlessly. His Chaos Dao laws were performed with profound mystery, appearing ordinary yet explosively powerful. Combined with his dominant Sacred Body and terrifying recovery ability, he had the foundation to clash head-on with Da Luo Shenzi without defeat. This was his might.

The two fought on for a long time.

By the three hundredth round, Da Luo Shenzi knelt again, spurting blood in the void before he could even reach the sky, and fell back into Zang Hai.

Has he lost?

People from all sides activated their divine eyes, staring intently at Zang Hai.

They saw blood tides surging in Zang Hai, as if some primordial beast was rampaging within, stirring up massive waves.

In the next instant, dragon roars echoed, and nine massive dragons materialized from Zang Hai, each one ferocious and terrifying. They swept up countless vengeful spirits amid wails of agony, charging toward the void.

This was Da Luo Shenzi's divine ability, forming dragon shapes from Zang Hai's vengeful spirits to drag Ye Chen into the nine abysses.

Ye Chen's expression remained indifferent. He reached up to grasp the starry sky, pulling down countless starlights and merging them into a sea of stars that rolled down from the nine heavens. The vast star river, glowing brilliantly, instantly engulfed the nine vicious dragons.

Die!

Da Luo Shenzi shot out from Zang Hai, his hair wild and disheveled like a demon's. He gripped a sword of immortal light, forged from bloodline power, cultivation force, Jiu Yang energy, and Dao principles, infused with numerous divine abilities. Its power even startled many saints.

This was his ultimate killing strike, carrying a portion of the Jian Shen's sword intent, which he had unexpectedly comprehended in that moment.

You're far from it!

Ye Chen said lightly, descending from the sky. He manifested a divine sword in his hand, based on bloodline power, cultivation force, and Dao principles, integrated with sword path divine abilities, utterly destructive.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the two swords collided.

Immediately, a brilliant halo formed at the sword tips, expanding limitlessly in all directions. Wherever it passed, the void shattered inch by inch. Even the barrier around Zang Hai exploded violently, and many weaker cultivators were caught in the blast, turning to ash on the spot.

The spectators' expressions changed drastically as they retreated further, their gazes fixed on the void above Zang Hai.

There, a bloodied figure was falling.

It was Da Luo Shenzi again. His ultimate strike had been overpowered, his sword shattered and its intent dispersed. Even he was pierced by Ye Chen's sword, his Jiu Yang body splitting open on the spot. The Phoenix blood's powerful recovery couldn't heal him, severely damaging his foundation.

Thud!

Before the crowd's eyes, Da Luo Shenzi plunged into Zang Hai.

He had lost. Even with his absolute cultivation advantage over Ye Chen, he was no match. His pride, his confidence, his myth of invincibility among peers—all were utterly crushed before Ye Chen.
