Chapter 1446: Saint Physique vs. Immortal Clan Godly Son

As the masses looked on in astonishment, the Jiu Wen Dan had already merged into Ye Chen's body, containing boundless power. It was the true divine healing elixir, defying the heavens in its potency. In an instant, all of Ye Chen's wounds across his body were restored, and the killing intent within him was completely erased by the Jiu Wen Dan, swiftly returning him to his peak state.

The Jiu Wen Dan was incredibly domineering, far surpassing the eight-pattern version. The mysterious power it held was as vast as rivers and seas, with only this single pill existing in the world— even the Dan Zun could not refine a second one.

"Thank you." Ye Chen smiled without turning around, his words directed at Ji Ning Shuang. He had never expected that she, with her sealed memories still intact, would be so generous.

"If you lose, then return the Jiu Wen Dan to me." Ji Ning Shuang replied with a gentle smile, captivating all who beheld her. As the foremost beauty of Dong Huang, her smile made everything in the world fade into dullness.

"Understood." Ye Chen cracked his neck forcefully, his eyes gleaming with divine light. With each step, he ascended toward the heavens, his momentum soaring as his golden blood essence burned like fire. Strands of golden energy flowed around him, heavy as mountains, weaving into various profound visions.

"Come on, let's continue." Back in the ninth heaven, Ye Chen grinned at the Xian Zu Shen Zi, the golden sea roiling beneath his feet. The chaotic world behind him regained its vitality, and the Chaos God Cauldron hovering above his head buzzed and trembled. He stood like a deity, his radiance even brighter than the scorching sun, making it impossible for others to look directly at him.

"So what if you're back at your peak?" The Xian Zu Shen Zi smirked mockingly, his expression as playful and disdainful as before. "In my eyes, you're nothing but a joke from start to finish."

"A joke might just turn into a legend." Ye Chen shattered the void with a step, his left hand forming yin and yang, his right palm embodying qian kun. The yin and yang transformed into Tai Ji, the qian kun into Wu Ji, and their fusion created chaos.

This palm strike was the most pinnacle attack he had ever unleashed in his cultivation path—simple and unadorned, yet incomparably powerful.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi snorted coldly and countered with his own palm, infused with numerous secret techniques, striking across the heavens.

Their clash caused the heavens to rumble, collapsing half the void as devastating forces rampaged wildly.

When the dust settled, Ye Chen stood firm like a mountain, unmoving, while the once-arrogant Xian Zu Shen Zi staggered back a step, his fair palm stained with brilliant immortal blood.

Furious, the Xian Zu Shen Zi instantly healed his wounds, his surging blood essence erupting as an ancient immortal mark appeared on his forehead. His combat power, already formidable, climbed to another level.

Ye Chen sneered and activated his demonic path, a demonic mark manifesting on his forehead. As the Xian Zu Shen Zi's power increased, Ye Chen's momentum surged even higher, forcefully suppressing his opponent.

The battle erupted in an instant, like two immortal kings or war gods clashing in the vast skies.

After just three to five exchanges, blood rained down from above. Both Ye Chen and the Xian Zu Shen Zi were bathed in each other's blood, their fight so brutal that it made the onlookers below tremble with fear.

"Both at their peak—truly spectacular." The elder cultivators sighed, feeling immense pressure. If these two juniors were given enough time, they would surely surpass their predecessors and dominate them.

"The Huang Gu Sheng Ti and the Xian Zu Shen Zi— the ultimate showdown of the younger generation." The young cultivators watched with boiling blood, even Nan Di and Bei Sheng marveling at their strength.

"I bet on the Xian Zu Shen Zi to win." An old fellow stroked his beard. "I have high hopes for him."

"The Huang Gu Sheng Ti is invincible in his realm; this old man wagers on Ye Chen." Many elders held Ye Chen in high regard. "Our judgment is spot-on—he has a conviction that the Xian Zu Shen Zi lacks."

"Suppress!" Amid the discussions, the Xian Zu Shen Zi's roar echoed from the void as he waved his hand to summon nine ancient seals, each inscribed with immortal marks and arranged in the nine directions of the sky, forming a sealing array.

This was the Xian Zu's secret array, specialized in sealing, with each of the nine ancient seals being a sacred weapon. The immortal marks on them served as array patterns. Legend had it that a great Xian Zu expert had once used this array to seal a quasi-emperor cultivator.

The array's infamous reputation persisted, recognized by the elder cultivators for its overwhelmingly dominant power.

The void was locked down, the air ceasing to flow. Even Ye Chen, who dominated the nine heavens, was suppressed, his raised foot frozen in midair, sealed in place by the nine ancient seals.

"Die!" The Xian Zu Shen Zi bellowed, charging forward with his sword and slashing at Ye Chen's origin soul.

"As if you're worthy?" Ye Chen rebuked coldly. His Sheng Ti origin and Dao principles trembled together, weaving into an invisible divine sword that severed the invisible bindings. Like a wild dragon, he broke free.

He endured the Xian Zu Shen Zi's sword strike head-on and swung his arm, sweeping away the nine ancient seals with a palm.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi was also forced back, his killing sword ringing as it dripped with sacred blood.

Now it was Ye Chen's turn. He took a step that shrank the distance to inches, charging into the void and unleashing the Tai Xu Long Jin. The Xian Zu Shen Zi, about to move, was halted by the dragon seal, his body momentarily frozen.

But he was no pushover and activated his supreme secret technique, shattering the seal and bursting out. In doing so, he took Ye Chen's Ba Huang Fist head-on, causing even his powerful immortal body to crack apart.

"You deserve to die." The Xian Zu Shen Zi roared in rage, firing thunder from his forehead aimed at Ye Chen's origin soul.

Ye Chen dared not underestimate it and countered with the Nine Dao Shen Shang. The Xian Zu was renowned for its offensive prowess; even with the Phoenix Immortal Guard protecting his divine sea and origin soul, he would likely still be affected, as his opponent was no ordinary foe.

The thunder and divine light clashed, mutually eroding until they both collapsed, with withering forces intertwining in a dance.

"Kill!" The Xian Zu Shen Zi's eyes turned blood-red as he continuously summoned techniques, unleashing world-shaking divine abilities.

Ye Chen showed no weakness, striking back fiercely with secret techniques and divine abilities manifesting one after another, displaying unmatched dominance.

The two engaged in a secret technique duel, bombarding each other in the void and turning the heavens dark, the stars losing their light. It was as if an immortal king and a war god were waging war, not stopping until the world was destroyed.

Ye Chen sustained injuries but grew fiercer with each fight, attacking relentlessly without defense, like a madman. His sacred body was incredibly powerful, withstanding the blows and showcasing the formidable prestige of the Huang Gu Sheng Ti.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi had also gone mad, ignoring pain and consequences, his attacks chaotic and frenzied. For every fist Ye Chen landed on him, he retaliated with a sword strike, as immortal blood and sacred blood vied in their struggle.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding cultivators, the two fought for over five hundred rounds without a clear victor.

It wasn't until the six hundredth round that the evenly matched battle showed a subtle shift.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi sacrificed his blood to empower his sword, delivering a devastating strike that crushed all in its path—a supreme technique of absolute killing.

However, facing this annihilating sword, Ye Chen did not defend. He allowed it to pierce his chest, but in that same instant, his heavenly palm struck the Xian Zu Shen Zi, leaving him covered in blood and mangled flesh.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi howled, vomiting fresh blood as he staggered back, collapsing chunks of the void under his feet.

Ye Chen also spat blood but ignored it completely, pursuing relentlessly with endless secret techniques and divine abilities.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi fell into a disadvantage, chased by Ye Chen from the western void all the way to the northern firmament. Even with his dominant recovery ability, he couldn't keep up with the pace of his injuries.

"Kill!" The Xian Zu Shen Zi's face twisted ferociously, his hair disheveled like a demon, his earlier air of superiority completely gone. His so-called pride was being eroded bit by bit.

Driven to madness, he sacrificed his lifespan with blood, adding another ancient divine mark to his forehead.

He activated a forbidden technique, boosting his combat power further. With the immortal realm at his back, he reigned supreme in the nine heavens, radiant as the sun, forcing onlookers to avert their eyes. Strands of immortal energy flowed like silver waterfalls from the nine heavens.

Ye Chen was forced to retreat and forcibly elevated his own power. In his Chaos Realm, several massive visions appeared: divine dragons coiling, phoenixes screeching, white tigers roaring, black tortoises paving the way, and kirin beasts howling at the sky.

The Xian Zu Shen Zi ascended to the nothingness, raising one hand to the heavens and carving out an immortal river that soared downward toward Ye Chen, splitting the vast starry sky into two.

This was an incomprehensible secret technique, essentially a great emperor's immortal scripture—the inheritance of Xian Yu Great Emperor. Even as a later generation performed it, they grasped some of its profound truths.

Ye Chen summoned his cauldron, defying the heavens to collide with it, but was sent flying by the immortal river on the spot.

His life-bound weapon was damaged, triggering backlash on him as well. Fresh blood spurted from his sacred body, each drop dazzling.

In this brief respite, he swung his arm and unleashed a sword strike that carved out a galaxy, causing the Xian Zu Shen Zi to stagger. The Xian Zu Shen Zi's newly healed immortal body was once again shaken with cracks.
