Chapter 1929: Collapse of Belief

Roar! Roar!

Amidst the roars resounding through the starry sky, two giant dragons, battered and bruised, plummeted one after another.

Ye Chen fell towards the east, crushing a swathe of stars, while Kui Ba descended towards the west, his immense dragon body causing the starry sky to collapse as well. Both exploded into fragments, their blood and bones scattering everywhere.

The battle was not over; both reformed their immortal bodies and faced each other from afar.

They stood like two towering mountains, unyielding to any force in the world. One had the Hong Huang wilderness as his backdrop, the other the Chaos Realm, resembling war gods or demons, locked in a standoff.

"Kill."No sooner had he reformed his divine body than Kui Ba launched an attack, swinging his arm to summon a sea of demons that surged and rolled, devouring inch by inch of the starry sky like a dark curtain shrouding the universe.

Ye Chen was even swifter, slashing out an immortal river with a palm strike that cleaved through the demon sea.

From then on, the two did not engage in close combat but stood at a distance, bombarding each other with secret techniques.

Both in their bloodline limit state, their vital energy was inexhaustible, and their magical power surged like a torrent. They unleashed emperor path immortal laws without restraint, each collision unleashing apocalyptic light across the starry sky.

Onlookers clicked their tongues in amazement. This was more than just recklessness—it was outright madness. Even emperor-level figures had never fought like this; it was incredibly wild. With their immense power, battles had become utterly unrestrained.

Now, not just the younger generation, but even the elders felt their hearts skip a beat. It was fortunate these two were only Saint King level. If they were Great Saints or Quasi-Emperors fighting this way, who knows how many would suffer.

The most awkward part was that the Hong Huang emperor-level figures had mostly recovered and wanted to join the fight.

However, Ye Chen and Kui Ba were too ferocious, their battle waves and noise too overwhelming, making the others hesitant to rush in. Jumping into the fray was easy, but getting out alive would be hard.

They understood that although they were all emperor-level, activating the bloodline limit changed everything. They were no longer on the same level as Ye Chen and Kui Ba; acting rashly could cost them their lives.

Pfft! Pfft!

Under the watchful eyes of all, two more brilliant sprays of blood burst forth.

Ye Chen and Kui Ba fell once again, a sight the onlookers had grown accustomed to.

Counting the exchanges, they had fought over eight hundred rounds since the battle began, with both exploding more than a hundred times. Yet, each time they fell, they reformed, both possessing god-like resilience, evenly matched.

In just three to five breaths, their golden bodies were remade.

The rumbling resumed as the two madmen tangled once more, sometimes in close combat, sometimes with secret techniques, fighting from the eastern starry sky to the western, then to the southern, from the southern to the western void, and from there to the northern haze. They fought without pause, in a frenzy.

"It's a good thing it's the bloodline limit; if it were ordinary emperor-level fighters, they'd either be beaten to death or exhausted."Hong Huang Qilin Jiuchen crossed his arms and clicked his tongue, watching in a daze.

"What a pity Yao Chi is dead; otherwise, it would be even more exciting."Tian Shuo sighed.

"Damn it, damn it!"No sooner had Tian Shuo spoken than roars echoed from all directions, as Hong Huang emperor-level figures charged in from afar, their faces twisted in rage like rabid dogs.

Indeed, the Hong Huang emperor-levels who had been chasing the Zhutian emperor-levels had all returned, frustrated from failing to catch their targets and now back to join the battle.

But as soon as they arrived and prepared to clash with the Zhutian emperor-levels, they were stunned by the scene in the void, just like the Zhutian side earlier. Their expressions turned to shock, then utter horror.

This horror made them forget the fight, staring blankly instead. They never imagined that their own Hong Huang emperor-level, Kui Ba, could also activate the bloodline limit—it was truly a blessing from the heavens.

Pfft!

On the nine hundredth round, one of them fell—not Ye Chen, but Kui Ba.

"This king is immortal!"Kui Ba roared defiantly and charged back against the odds.

Ye Chen descended from the air, slamming down like a mountain and turning him into a pile of bloody pulp.

Ah!

Even as pulp, Kui Ba's roars could still be heard, his flesh writhing as the immortal power regenerated, the bloody mass reforming into human shape before their eyes.

Ye Chen said nothing and struck again with his palm.

Pfft!

Before Kui Ba could fully reform, he was smashed back into a puddle of scarlet flesh.

Ah!

Kui Ba roared in anger, trying to escape and reform his body in flight, then resume the battle with Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen gave him no chance, blocking him with another palm strike.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The scene that followed was terrifying: every time Kui Ba tried to reform, Ye Chen blasted him apart. The bloodline limit made him unkillable, but Ye Chen kept him from even rebuilding, hitting him back to square one repeatedly.

Mad roars echoed through the starry sky as Kui Ba was driven insane. He had the unkillable state, yet Ye Chen pinned him down completely. Even a few breaths to recover would do, but Ye Chen refused to grant it.

Having fought the bloodline limit before, Ye Chen knew its terror all too well. Either achieve absolute suppression in power, or pound them to dust completely—otherwise, you'd never break it.

That's why he denied Kui Ba any respite, striking palm after palm without stopping, his goal clear: to beat Kui Ba into ashes.

"Quick, save him."The Hong Huang powerhouses couldn't bear to watch and shouted desperately.

"Kill."Without needing to be told, over forty Hong Huang emperor-levels charged forward, aiming to buy Kui Ba time to reform. He couldn't be destroyed; the consequences would be dire.

"Hey."The Zhutian emperor-levels charged into the Chaos Sea without hesitation.

"Get back."The Hong Huang emperor-levels raged, dispatching over a dozen to hold off the Zhutian side, while the remaining twenty-plus targeted Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had anticipated this, summoning a teleportation gate and dragging the still-muddy Kui Ba through it, vanishing in an instant amid roars and explosions.

"Damn it."The twenty-plus Hong Huang emperor-levels arrived to find their attacks hitting empty space, unable to catch Ye Chen as he escaped via the gate. Tracking him now would be nearly impossible.

"Eastern starry sky."A Hong Huang Quasi-Emperor bellowed, opening a third eye on his forehead to pinpoint Ye Chen's direction. Though he couldn't fight, he could guide them.

Immediately, the twenty-plus emperor-levels activated their own gates, set coordinates, and raced toward the east.

As they left, the Hong Huang powerhouses surged after them like a tide.

The Zhutian cultivators followed suit, eager to witness Kui Ba's demise.

The ongoing battle between the dozen or so Hong Huang and Zhutian emperor-levels halted as they all headed east.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Inside the teleportation gate, blood sprayed as Ye Chen continued his relentless palm strikes.

Ah!

Kui Ba's furious roars were filled with grief. What good was the bloodline limit? He was still being crushed by Ye Chen, unable to even reform.

The harsh reality dawned on him: even with the bloodline limit, he wasn't invincible among peers.

He was defeated again, more utterly than the first time.

In his roaring mind, his spirit collapsed for the second time.

After being slain by Ye Chen and defying fate to activate the undying bloodline limit, he had thought it was heaven's mercy, the ancient emperors' blessing, granting him a chance to kill Ye Chen. But that chance only deepened his despair. Standing on equal footing, he still couldn't match the Saint Body.

Ah!

With another thunderous roar, his shattered spirit self-destructed.

The explosion was massive, shattering the teleportation gate and collapsing that stretch of starry sky, turning nearby stars to dust one after another.

Ye Chen was severely wounded by the blast, his Saint Body exploding into blood mist.

But it was nothing serious; still in his bloodline limit state, he reformed in three breaths.

As for Kui Ba, this time he was truly obliterated. The bloodline limit made him undying, but self-destruction was possible, and he sacrificed both his spirit and true form.

Unfortunately, even in self-destruction, he couldn't take Ye Chen with him.

Stellar winds howled as the Hong Huang emperor-levels arrived, emerging from the teleportation gate.

At the same time, Hong Huang powerhouses, Zhutian cultivators, and Zhutian emperor-levels all arrived.

But they were too late; Kui Ba's self-destruction was over.

"Is he dead?"Kui Niu asked tentatively.

"Kui Ba's life soul is extinguished."Chi Yangzi glanced into the void and confirmed.

Gulp!

His words made the Zhutian cultivators swallow hard. The bloodline limit, undying and unkillable—yet it was truly defeated?

To be precise, it wasn't beaten to death; Kui Ba self-destructed. But it amounted to the same thing; even if he hadn't, Ye Chen would have turned him to ash.

More importantly, Kui Ba's spirit had collapsed, his beliefs shattered. Even if Ye Chen had let him reform, he couldn't have fought on, having lost the heart of a warrior. His self-destruction was his way of escaping, devoid of the will to live.

"Too damn wild."Xiao Yuan Huang grinned, looking at Ye Chen like he was a god.

"The Saint Body is unstoppable."The Zhutian younger generation was exhilarated, raising their weapons and cheering for Ye Chen.

"He's created another legend."The Zhutian elders smiled with pride. When it came to holding the line, it had to be the Huanggu Shengti, with feats that left even the old Zhutian folks in awe.

"Not as good as him!"The Zhutian emperor-levels shook their heads with a laugh, admitting that even with the bloodline limit, they couldn't beat Ye Chen. Kui Ba was a bloody example.

"Impossible, this can't be!"The Hong Huang powerhouses roared, unable to accept this brutal reality. They had thought Kui Ba's transcendent rebirth could turn the tide, but this outcome was utter despair. Heaven's fleeting favor only made their defeat more complete.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amid the discussions, exclamations, shocks, and roars, Ye Chen moved, striding with steady steps toward the Hong Huang emperor-levels. His footsteps were heavy, making the stars rumble with each deliberate, rhythmic step, stirring hearts and souls.

His expression remained indifferent, emotionless, his bloodstained hair whipping in the wind as he gripped his blood-soaked killing sword, like a fused god of the eight wastelands and a supreme demon, with killing intent and malice soaring to the skies.
