Chapter 1906: Kill the Eastern God, Execute the Saintly Body

Boom! Boom!

The heavens and earth shook, trembling through the nine skies.

In this two-on-two matchup, one side was the couple, the other the two Honghuang emperor sons, fighting with such ferocity that the sky collapsed and the ground split.

Tian Xie had transformed into its true form, its body towering like a mountain.

Jin Ni had activated its forbidden technique, its combat power surging dramatically.

However, their efforts seemed futile. Tian Xie was massive, but its speed was suppressed by Ji Ning Shuang, leaving its enormous body riddled with deep, terrifying gashes from which scarlet blood sprayed.

As for Jin Ni, it was in even worse shape. Though its power had exploded, its understanding of the Dao was far inferior to Ye Chen's. The Dao swords targeting the root of its Dao forced it to suffer repeatedly, spilling blood time and again.

"The Saint Body Ye Chen is formidable enough, but that East God is terrifying too." The Honghuang spectators exclaimed in astonishment, one after another. To suppress an emperor son like this demonstrated a level of power that was truly frightening.

"These two have such high talent—they must die." The Honghuang quasi-emperors' eyes flashed with cold light. Their insight was sharp; they could see the heaven-defying potential in Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang. If given enough time, such prodigies would bring catastrophic disaster to Honghuang.

"Keep summoning the armies, keep summoning the emperor sons." More Honghuang forces crushed their jade slips, determined to eliminate Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang at any cost.

Upon receiving the distress signals, the Honghuang armies that had been pursuing the Zhutian emperor sons changed direction, rushing toward this realm. Dozens of Honghuang emperor sons also turned their focus.

The Zhutian emperor sons, who had been fleeing, stopped in their tracks, their expressions filled with surprise.

"Clearly, compared to us, Honghuang has someone else they want to kill even more." Xuan Gu emperor son Tian Shuo stood at the peak of a mountain, gazing into the distant horizon, murmuring.

"It couldn't be Ming Jue again, could it?" Bai Zhi coughed dryly. They had been scattered earlier and hadn't seen Ming Jue, so it was possible he was the one surrounded again—that guy was always causing trouble.

"Why are you so eager for me to be surrounded?" A lazy laugh echoed as Ming Jue manifested his true form on the mountaintop, with Xiao Chen at his side. Both looked disheveled, covered in wounds, their vital energy weak and fading, blood streaming from their bodies. It was obvious they had been relentlessly hunted by Honghuang.

"At least you escaped quickly this time." Bai Zhi glanced at Ming Jue. "Don't embarrass your master."

"Tch." Ming Jue shrugged it off.

"Let's go check it out. If it's other Zhutian emperor sons in trouble, we can lend a hand." Xiao Chen swallowed a spirit pill, hefted his great halberd, and descended from the mountaintop. His recovery ability was incredibly dominant, his aura already peaking again.

Ming Jue, Bai Zhi, and Tian Shuo set off together.

Like them, the scattered Zhutian emperor sons regrouped.

Among them were some who weren't emperor sons but matched their level of power, such as Ri Yue god son Chi Yan, Dong Zhou Wu Wang Song Yu, and Honghuang Qi Lin Jiu Chen—all troublemakers who thrived on chaos, always eager to rush toward the hottest spots.

The Tian Zun ruins erupted into chaos once more, as cultivator armies surged forth. This encirclement was even larger than the one against Ming Jue and Xiao Chen, with no fewer than three million Honghuang experts, their killing intent soaring.

Kill the East God!

Execute the Saint Body!

These roars echoed across the four seas and eight wastelands.

Upon hearing this, the Zhutian emperor sons' expressions turned strange—they now understood who Honghuang was targeting. That couple was extraordinarily fierce, which explained the massive Honghuang forces.

Boom! Bang!

Amid the surrounding attacks, the realm where Ye Chen and his group fought shook even more violently. The azure sky shattered, the fertile soil collapsed, and blood rained down, staining the battered landscape. The emperor son-level battle plunged the world into darkness, a scene of utter devastation that was heart-wrenching to behold.

"This has gotten out of hand." Ye Chen slashed Jin Ni back with a sword and glanced at the surroundings. Even from a distance, he could see a vast, black ocean of people.

"The more chaotic, the better." Ji Ning Shuang transmitted her thoughts with a light smile, her eyes deep and pure, untainted by the world's filth. A flicker of lightning flashed in their depths.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, noticing the lightning in Ji Ning Shuang's eyes. He paused briefly, then laughed.

"Kill." Jin Ni emperor son lunged forward, unleashing a soul-locking chain aimed at Ye Chen's yuan shen.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, swinging his sword to shatter the chain. With a flip of his hand, he struck Jin Ni with a palm, sending it spitting blood. It was a pity Jin Ni was an emperor son; if it had been a crown prince level, that palm would have killed it outright.

Jin Ni steadied itself, furious beyond measure. Its hair was disheveled, devoid of any emperor son dignity—it looked more like a madman, roaring in rage.

"Keep yelling, and I'll make you yell more." Ye Chen swung his sword down, which suddenly expanded to a hundred zhang long, cleaving through the heavens and forcing Jin Ni to its knees, blood spraying spectacularly.

Ah!

Jin Ni emperor son went berserk, transforming into its true form, its body towering like a mountain, its blood eyes massive as wine jars. Compared to it, Ye Chen seemed pitifully small, as if one stomp could crush him.

But who was Ye Chen? A peerless fighter with his own secret arts. He activated his Ba Ti outer manifestation, growing to a hundred zhang tall, his Dao sword expanding accordingly. Though not as large as Jin Ni, it was close enough.

The two colossal beings—the Jin Ni in its true form and Ye Chen's Ba Ti manifestation—clashed fiercely, their battle waves capable of destroying heaven and earth. The watching Honghuang experts were caught in the blasts, wave after wave.

It was clear Jin Ni was still outmatched, sustaining injury after injury. The blood it sprayed formed small streams, and the bones that shattered exploded in the void. It was blasted apart repeatedly, only to regenerate each time.

Ye Chen's vital energy surged; he didn't even use his Dao sword, relying solely on his golden fists to send Jin Ni's blood and bones flying.

As always, defeating an emperor son was easy, but killing one was hard. The sons of great emperors, with their imperial Dao inheritances, possessed incredibly powerful bloodlines and recovery abilities. Even if reduced to a single drop of blood, they could rebuild their golden bodies. That was the terrifying aspect of emperor sons.

Ye Chen didn't let up, landing punch after punch, each one drawing blood, giving Jin Ni no chance to breathe.

On the other side, Tian Xie emperor son was in a pitiful state too, having one arm severed by Ji Ning Shuang, with half its massive head chopped off. Its true form was no match, and even in human form, it couldn't hold its own.

"Damn it." The Tian Xie clan experts roared, charging into the sky.

"Kill." The Jin Ni clan experts couldn't stay idle either, swarming forward en masse. With so many strong fighters watching, they couldn't let Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang eliminate their emperor sons. This fight had to become a group brawl.

"A world of flowers in a single thought, activate." Ji Ning Shuang chanted softly, and petals rained down from the sky, illusory and splendid. Each petal was entwined with Dao principles, merging into the heavens and earth, defying the great order.

In an instant, Ji Ning Shuang vanished, taking Tian Xie emperor son with her.

She had opened a separate space—that year of the flower world was an imperial Dao immortal technique, a method for evasion.

"Turn the universe to dust." Ye Chen snorted coldly, condensing a dust space and pulling Jin Ni emperor son into it with him. This was one-on-one; he wouldn't allow a group fight.

"Search, search quickly." The experts from both clans bellowed. They understood Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang's intent—they were going for the kill. They had to find that separate space and dust space as fast as possible; every second delayed increased the risk of their emperor sons being destroyed. This was a dire situation.

Thousands of experts activated their insight divine abilities, scanning inch by inch, their faces grim.

As for the other Honghuang races, they acted as if nothing was happening, standing still without moving—in fact, some were gleefully watching. After all, it wasn't their emperor sons at risk; they wouldn't feel the loss.

"The fall of Honghuang's lips means the teeth feel the cold—don't you understand this principle?" The Jin Ni and Tian Xie quasi-emperors raged.

"Search, search, search quickly." Scolded by these two clans, the other Honghuang races joined in, though they were just going through the motions, not really putting in effort. A few even decided that even if they found the spaces, they wouldn't say anything—they'd rather see the Jin Ni and Tian Xie emperor sons eliminated, weakening those clans indirectly.

While they searched outside, the battles raged fiercely inside the separate space and dust space.

Tian Xie emperor son was being beaten down, and Jin Ni emperor son was suppressed, its body nearly destroyed.

They wanted to escape, but the separate space and dust space were profoundly mysterious, requiring time to break. Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang wouldn't give them that time or opportunity.

"A one-on-one fight is so much better, no interruptions." Ye Chen attacked relentlessly, unleashing secret techniques and divine abilities in succession, all while chuckling.

"Earlier, you two were so eager to kill me."

"Kill, kill, kill." Jin Ni emperor son was manic, its eyes blood-red as it burned its bloodline essence to assault Ye Chen.

"You're far from it." Ye Chen's voice was cold and resolute as he flipped Jin Ni over with a palm.

"Ah!" Jin Ni roared, trying to rise for another fight.

"Stay down." Ye Chen struck from the heavens with another palm. Jin Ni, just getting up, was slammed flat on its back in a spread-eagle position. It tried to stand again, but Ye Chen was already there, one hand gripping its neck and pinning it down, the other holding the Da Luo divine cauldron and smashing it into Jin Ni's head.

Thud!

Jin Ni emperor son's massive head exploded on the spot, its yuan shen yanked out by Ye Chen.

"Kill, kill, kill." Even as a yuan shen, Jin Ni emperor son continued to roar, struggling to break free, but it couldn't. Without its physical body, its power was less than sixty percent, and even at full strength it couldn't beat Ye Chen—let alone now.

"In your next life, try killing me again!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, channeling his palm's force as the principles of annihilation operated, erasing Jin Ni's divine consciousness entirely and leaving only its yuan shen essence, which was swallowed by the Chaos Cauldron.

Another emperor son fell, dying with unyielding resentment.

After eliminating Jin Ni, Ye Chen staggered slightly. Having fought two emperor sons back-to-back, his consumption was immense, blood overflowing from his mouth. He shoved pills into his mouth, desperately restoring his energy.

At that moment, the dust space collapsed—it had been broken from outside.

But it was too late; Jin Ni was already dead.

Ye Chen was forced out, using Tai Xu steps to ascend into the void and evade the Jin Ni experts' attacks.

Boom!

Before the Jin Ni experts could reach the void, the sky exploded, and a yuan shen form plummeted out.

It was Tian Xie emperor son; its physical body had been destroyed, leaving only its yuan shen. Burning its yuan shen essence, it desperately broke through the separate space and fled toward the Tian Xie experts.

"Save me."

"Quick, save the emperor son." The Tian Xie quasi-emperor roared, charging into the void.

"Exterminate." Ji Ning Shuang's voice was icy as a beam of immortal light shot from her brow—it was the small shield Ye Chen had given her, forged from emperor weapon fragments, specialized in defending and attacking yuan shen, the bane of true forms. It pierced straight through space toward Tian Xie emperor son, a fatal strike.

Thud!

In full view of everyone, Tian Xie emperor son's yuan shen was struck and instantly vaporized. The Tian Xie experts rushing to save it arrived too late, hearing only Tian Xie's final roar.
