Chapter 1930: Demon God's Slaughter

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the banging sounds echoed, the scene in the starry sky was extraordinarily shocking: Ye Chen stepped forward step by step toward the Honghuang Dizi, while more than forty Honghuang Dizi retreated step by step.

It was clear that every Honghuang Dizi had a pale expression, and their hands gripping their swords were trembling.

Perhaps retreating too hastily, one of them stumbled and fell, and after getting up, continued to back away, not stopping until they reached the edge of the universe, as if, in their eyes, Ye Chen was a terrifying demon.

What irony, a perfect irony.

They were all Dizi, and Honghuang Dizi at that—which of them did not have a dominant bloodline, which of them did not carry glory? More than forty in total, their numbers absolutely overwhelming Ye Chen, yet not a single one dared to fight, collectively retreating before him, their Dizi pride utterly shattered.

"Is this the might of the Sheng Ti?" the Zhutian Dizi-level figures murmured, stunned by the sight. To make more than forty Dizi retreat single-handedly, he was truly a king who overlooked the eight wastelands. Just from this, they were no match for Ye Chen, and no one could overshadow his glory.

"So impressive." The Zhutian elders were exhilarated; in their youth, none of them had been as formidable as Ye Chen.

"What shame, an utter disgrace." The Honghuang powerhouses trembled with rage. More than forty Honghuang Dizi had gathered, with at least a fifty-fifty chance of victory, yet not a single one dared to charge forward.

Little did they know, the Honghuang Dizi had been thoroughly intimidated. Even Kui Ba Dizi, who had activated his Xueji Xianjie, was no match for Ye Chen and had been forced to self-destruct, let alone them. Their so-called convictions had turned to smoke the moment Kui Ba Dizi died.

"Run."

As they retreated, one Honghuang Dizi suddenly turned and fled, activating his Dunshi Xianfa.

His escape triggered a chain reaction—all the Honghuang Dizi spun around and bolted without looking back. They had been too cowardly to fight with their heads held high, but their fleeing postures were more dominant and flashy than one another.

Boom!

Ye Chen moved as well, shattering the starry sky with a single step, shrinking the distance in an instant as he chased down one Dizi.

"I'll fight you to the death." That Dizi roared wildly, his eyes filled with fear mixed with madness. His immortal body swelled rapidly, and his primordial spirit began to burn, unleashing the power of annihilation.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion erupted as that Dizi self-destructed, directing all the force at Ye Chen.

Pfft!

Ye Chen's Sheng Ti was blown apart, blood and bones scattering everywhere, reducing him to a mangled form, yet he regenerated through his immortal and indestructible state.

This harrowing sight made the Zhutian cultivators click their tongues in amazement.

Another Dizi had been forced to self-destruct. It wasn't that their combat power was weak that was frightening, but rather the collapse of their minds and the shattering of their beliefs. Just like that self-destructing Honghuang Dizi, self-destruction might have been a form of release.

With one Dizi self-destructing, the others fled even more shamelessly.

However, some of them were not as swift, and Ye Chen caught up.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood sprayed continuously, blooming into flowers of blood.

In less than three breaths, three Honghuang Dizi were slain one after another. They weren't without the power to fight, but due to their fear of Ye Chen, they dared not engage, leading to their instant defeat.

After slaying three more, Ye Chen did not stop, continuing his demonic slaughter.

Ahead, the fleeing Honghuang Dizi did not dare pause, pushing their speed to the limit, their forms streaking like peerless divine lights. They all knew that fleeing fast might mean survival was uncertain, but fleeing slowly meant certain death—the four Dizi who had perished before were a stark warning.

Boom! Bang!

The starry sky grew lively again, with pursuit and flight accompanied by continuous booms, collapsing vast swaths of space and shattering stars one by one. In the interweaving of blood and bones, everything was dyed a deep crimson.

Pfft! Pfft!

Ye Chen's slaughter did not cease; whenever he caught up to one, the next moment brought thunderous execution. In his Xueji Xianjie state, nearly immortal and indestructible, he had more than enough capital.

Boom! Boom!

Deafening explosions rang out incessantly, shaking the starry sky. Mostly, it was Honghuang Dizi self-destructing when Ye Chen closed in, without even throwing a single attack.

The Zhutian were shocked, with batch after batch of cultivators arriving, their hearts trembling at the bloody scene.

"If I had known such a grand spectacle was coming, I would have skipped my seclusion." Too many elders lamented.

"The battles among Dizi-level figures have left Honghuang utterly defeated." Someone sighed. "I even heard that Kui Ba Dizi activated his Xueji Xianjie, only to be forced by the Sheng Ti to self-destruct his divine body."

"Today has seen too many impossibilities. And what about Dong Shen Yao Chi, so astonishingly talented, yet still perished."

"This era is destined to be glorious; the Huanggu Sheng Ti has risen powerfully." The Zhutian cultivators took deep breaths, feeling that the prodigies of later generations were too terrifying, making them feel aged.

Pfft!

Amid the discussions, another Dizi was slain in the starry sky.

This Dizi showed great resilience and a strong will to survive, unleashing beams of immortal light from his body—various magical artifacts—to protect himself and buy time for escape.

Ye Chen said nothing, summoning his Hunlun Ding. No bronze furnace, divine mirror, or immortal tower could withstand its might; artifact after artifact was crushed, their fragments scattering across the starry sky in a dazzling display.

With the artifacts destroyed, that Dizi was shaken back, spitting blood, and before he could steady himself, Ye Chen struck again with a sword, sending him flying. As soon as he stabilized, Ye Chen appeared like a ghost, his sword devastating like a storm, piercing through the void and slaying him in the starry sky.

The blood of a Dizi was strikingly vivid.

All in all, nine Dizi had been extinguished.

Yet the slaughter continued; no Honghuang Dizi targeted by Ye Chen could escape.

"Dammit." An enraged Honghuang Zhundi lashed out, covering the starry sky with a palm. As a Zhundi, that palm could grind Ye Chen to dust. Even in his Xueji Xianjie state, Ye Chen was no match—this was absolute suppression of power.

However, before the palm could land, a strand of emperor-level immortal light streaked from the distant starry sky, shattering the palm and striking that Honghuang Zhundi.

Pfft!

A brilliant spray of blood marked the spot; that Honghuang Zhundi was instantly obliterated.

Witnessing this, the Honghuang powerhouses felt a chill and dared not act recklessly, knowing full well the source of that emperor-level immortal light—it could only come from the five Wujin Qu. They had been watching this area, monitoring both Zhutian and Honghuang cultivators. Anyone interfering in the juniors' battles would face immediate retaliation.

Fairness—such was the way of the Wujin Qu; if Zhutian cultivators had acted, they would have unleashed the same killing blow.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

In that moment, three more Honghuang Dizi were caught by Ye Chen—the three twin Dizi.

Though their combat power was strong, their speed was far too lacking, left behind by the other Honghuang Dizi, so Ye Chen targeted them.

"Emperor Dao Fusion."

With the eldest Dizi's roar, the second and third merged into his body, just as the name of their immortal technique implied—truly becoming one.

Instantly, dazzling immortal light soared to the skies. The fused Dizi underwent a complete transformation in aura, combat power, origin, and Dao essence, achieving a qualitative leap. Standing in the Honghuang Motu, he was like a war god, with Honghuang energy surging like an ocean, engulfing chunks of the starry sky.

The Dizi's eyes were filled with blood vessels, dyeing even his eye sockets red. His face twisted into a grotesque, terrifying mask, with fangs bared, making him more monstrous than a demon.

Ye Chen's expression remained cold as he stepped forward, entering that patch of Honghuang Motu, intent on turning the tables by slaying the Dizi within his own domain phenomenon.

"Kill."

The fused Dizi bellowed, opening a third eye on his forehead and firing a bolt of annihilating thunder—an emperor-level immortal technique with the power to extinguish both primordial spirit and physical form, potentially killing in an instant.

Ye Chen did not dodge, block, or defend, allowing the thunder to pierce his skull.

Yet he charged straight at the fused Dizi, condensing thousands of secret techniques into a single finger, piercing a gruesome bloody hole in the Dizi's forehead and nearly erasing his primordial spirit on the spot.

Pfft!

The fused Dizi spat blood and was sent flying. Though both were injured, Ye Chen's skull wound healed in an instant, while the Dizi's injuries were slow to mend, his primordial spirit cracking along with it.

As fellow Dizi-level figures, this was the gap with or without Xueji Xianjie. In his near-immortal state, Ye Chen could ignore techniques and enemy attacks, assaulting head-on.

"Kill."

The fused Dizi steadied himself and roared again, attempting to unleash another immortal technique.

But Ye Chen gave him no chance, darting forward and thrusting a palm like a divine blade into his chest, shattering his sternum and ripping apart his organs.

Ah!

The fused Dizi howled, reverting to his true form.

His original shape was enormous, like a mountain, with a fearsome form: a massive dragon head on a tiger body, fin bones on his back, and scales covering his entire body. His huge eyes, like wine vats, were filled with savagery and bloodlust, enough to make one's mind blur.

That stretch of starry sky collapsed in pieces under his colossal form.

Compared to him, Ye Chen was like a tiny ant, insignificant, and was swallowed whole in one gulp.

Seeing this, the surrounding spectators couldn't help but sigh. The fused Dizi was truly reckless, daring to swallow the Sheng Ti. Would it help? It was just asking for trouble.

Sure enough, Ye Chen wreaked havoc inside the Dizi's belly, blasting out bloody holes from within.

The fused Dizi wailed in agony, rolling through the starry sky as he tried to vomit Ye Chen out, but failed.

Pfft!

Ye Chen burst out, slicing open the Dizi's true form with a sword, emerging like a soaring dragon.

In just three or five moves, the Dizi was defeated, the fused state dissolving back into three, sent flying in different directions, each one drenched in blood and bones, no longer resembling human forms.

"Retreat, retreat now."

The eldest Dizi shrieked, dragging his mangled body as he fled at top speed.

No need for his call; his two brothers were already escaping. If even the fused state couldn't beat Ye Chen, what was the point of fighting?

They wanted to flee, but Ye Chen had no intention of letting them. With one sword, he split the third Dizi, extinguishing his primordial spirit. His Hunlun Ding unleashed its full power, its massive form crashing down from the air, turning the still-fleeing second Dizi into a pulp and devouring his escaping primordial spirit.

In a single breath, two Dizi fell, leaving only the eldest still running, desperately believing he could escape and survive.

Unfortunately, reality and ideals were always at odds.

Ye Chen stepped through the Taixu, crossing the void, and struck with a palm like a mountain, capable of destroying heavens and earth.

The eldest Dizi halted abruptly, his eyes wild with madness as he burned his origin and lifespan for a surge of power, unleashing all the hidden artifacts in his body just to block Ye Chen's palm.
