Kui Luo smiled sinisterly, his eyes flashing with a demonic light. Others could see it, and so could he—Ye Chen was injured, though the exact nature of the wound was unclear. All he knew was that it was serious, or else Ye Chen wouldn't be bleeding continuously.
"The state of the Sheng Ti seems not so good!"
Ye Chen shrugged. "Hitting a beast like you makes no difference whether I'm injured or not."
Kui Luo laughed mockingly. "With just you?" He took a step that landed like a mountain, shattering the battle platform and surging with primordial energy as he charged forward. His palm embodied the universe, collapsing the heavens and destroying the earth.
Ye Chen said nothing, responding only with his most powerful attack—nine paths of the eight wastelands united.
Their palm and fist collided, sending waves of annihilating light radiating outward. Space itself couldn't withstand it, fracturing and collapsing in pieces.
Looking at the combatants, Ye Chen stood like an unyielding stele.
In contrast, Kui Luo on the other side staggered back half a step, his palm bone fractured and blood flowing.
"I underestimated you," Kui Luo said, licking the fresh blood from his palm. The wound healed instantly, and a divine mark etched itself on his forehead, his aura surging dramatically. He truly resembled a god, his presence shaking the universe.
"Underestimating me comes with serious consequences." With those cold, desolate words, Ye Chen had already closed in, his finger glowing with divine light as he thrust straight at Kui Luo's forehead, aiming to pierce a bloody hole through it.
Kui Luo's lips curved slightly, moving like a ghost to evade in an instant. In that same moment, he circled behind Ye Chen, delivering a palm strike that soared to the heavens, slashing down at him.
Fresh blood splattered across the battle platform.
But the one wounded wasn't Ye Chen—it was Kui Luo, his entire spine severed.
Any observer could tell what had happened. In that instant, Ye Chen had manipulated the Heavenly Dao, teleporting in and out to appear behind Kui Luo with perfect precision in direction and position.
"Very good," Kui Luo snarled with a ferocious laugh, baring his white teeth. The wound on his back healed in the blink of an eye, and his severed spine reconnected. The dominance of his regenerative ability was terrifying.
Ye Chen's expression remained calm, his Lun Hui Yan deep and profound, naturally embodying the essence of the Dao.
"What a mysterious Lun Hui Yan," Kui Luo said with a cunning smile, slightly closing his eyes.
The next instant, he opened them abruptly.
His eyes had changed slightly from before. Upon closer inspection, deep within his pupils, a mark resembling a spinning wheel could be seen, rapidly rotating and containing a mysterious power.
"Damn it, that's Zhuan Lun Yan," Kui Niu cursed loudly. He considered his own eye type to be among the lowest ranks, but it had one ability that no other eye in the world possessed—it could suppress Lun Hui Yan completely.
"I knew it! They've been waiting right here for Old Seven," Xiao Yuan Huang said with a cold laugh.
"It seems the Hong Huang has thoroughly analyzed Ye Chen," Nan Di murmured. "They knew he possessed Lun Hui Yan and prepared Zhuan Lun Yan in advance."
"Ye Chen's situation looks dire," Zhong Huang said with concern.
No one needed to point it out—the cultivators of the various heavens could see it clearly. Ye Chen's Lun Hui Yan had dimmed, losing all its essence, with fresh blood trickling from the corners of his eyes. It was utterly suppressed by Zhuan Lun Yan, forcing it into self-seal once again.
With his Lun Hui Yan suppressed, Ye Chen suffered backlash, blood overflowing from his mouth as his face paled further.
Kui Luo laughed at Ye Chen, his eyes gleaming with a bloody light, terrifying and sinister. "Does this Wang's eye satisfy the Sheng Ti?"
"Satisfied, of course," Ye Chen replied, his expression as still as an ancient well. He used Shrink the Ground to an Inch, closing in on Kui Luo in an instant, and without another word, swung his palm to strike.
Kui Luo seemed to anticipate it, retreating swiftly into the sky and delivering a palm that blotted out the heavens, covering Ye Chen.
This palm was incredibly domineering, appearing as a single strike but feeling like an eight-thousand-zhang mountain. Seal scripts were etched between his fingers, enhanced by Dao principles, and infused with the power of divine demon bloodline, making the heavens rumble.
Ye Chen said nothing, ascending into the sky with the Eight Wastelands Fist, forcefully shattering the palm print. But he collided head-on with two thunderbolts from Kui Luo's eyes, targeted directly at the primordial spirit.
Ye Chen ignored it completely. If he could withstand a God Emperor's divine wounds, what were these mere thunderbolts?
Indeed, though Kui Luo's primordial spirit attack was strong, it failed to breach the Divine Dragon Shield.
In that moment, Ye Chen's forehead erupted with divine light as his nine paths of divine wounds united, striking back at Kui Luo.
Kui Luo showed utter contempt, neither dodging nor evading, dissolving the divine wounds with his mysterious power.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, peering into Kui Luo's divine sea, where a dark vortex had swallowed the divine wounds without a trace, not even causing a ripple.
"Seal for me," Kui Luo suddenly shouted coldly, unleashing a domineering immortal technique.
Immediately, the sound of iron chains clashing echoed. Chains woven from runes manifested one after another, like serpents slithering toward Ye Chen to bind him.
Ye Chen frowned at the sight, recognizing the extraordinary nature of these rune chains, empowered by mysterious forces that even made him feel a sense of dread.
Without hesitation, he tried to escape.
But as soon as he took a step, a binding force halted his body—it was Kui Luo's sealing secret technique.
Though it lasted only a moment, Ye Chen lost his advantage. When he tried to flee again, it was too late; the rune chains had locked his hands and feet. As he had suspected, these chains were eerie, capable of dissolving his origin and ignoring his bloodline power, ravenously devouring his vital energy.
Ye Chen snorted coldly, attempting to shatter the rune chains, but failed.
"What is that thing? Even the Sheng Ti can't break it," the Wu Clan Shen Zi exclaimed in surprise.
"It's the Shen Mo Suo Xian Chain, both a divine ability and a sealing technique," Chen Yin said calmly. "It's a type of Shen Zang from the Shen Mo Zhi Ti. Once bound, it dissolves the origin and ignores bloodline power. A single misstep could lead to the soul scattering into nothingness."
"Is it that domineering?"
"More than domineering—it's downright terrifying," Tian Shuo said, taking a deep breath. From his expression, it seemed he had faced it before, paying a horrific price to escape.
"How boring," Kui Luo said amid the discussions, descending from the sky with a playful laugh. His fingertip swirled with dark light as he thrust toward Ye Chen's forehead—a killing technique that made the hearts of the various heavens' cultivators tighten.
Roar!
At that very moment, a majestic dragon's roar echoed, shaking the heavens.
Eight golden giants dragons burst from Ye Chen's body, each a massive ten thousand zhang long. They helped Ye Chen shatter the Shen Mo Suo Xian Chain and, in their dive, slammed into Kui Luo with full force. A divine dragon tail sweep sent him flying, his Hong Huang Shen Mo body exploding on impact, spraying blood that was strikingly vivid.
"Beautifully done," the cultivators of the various heavens cheered. They had witnessed Ye Chen's Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons before and knew their power. Back during his tribulations, even a Hong Huang Emperor had nearly been crushed to dust by them—not an empty boast.
"Shen Zang against Shen Zang, true to the Sheng Ti's nature," the older generations of the heavens said excitedly.
Roar!
The dragon roars continued without pause as the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons soared into the sky, assaulting Kui Luo. A few more divine dragon tail sweeps might just grind him to ash.
"The Sheng Dao Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons truly seize heaven's creation," Kui Luo said, not angry but laughing even more mockingly. He steadied himself and fled into the sky, forming seals with one hand, causing the void to tremble.
In the next instant, a blazing sun manifested in the ethereal expanse.
Wow!
The cultivators of the various heavens all looked up, swallowing hard at the sight of that sun. It was enormous, like a floating star, but unlike the true sun, Kui Luo's was pitch-black, erupting with billions of black rays.
Under the illumination of this black sun, Ye Chen's Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons were forcibly dissolved. Even Ye Chen himself staggered from the pressure.
"What kind of divine ability is this? It can even neutralize the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons," Xiao Jiu Xian said in astonishment.
"It's called Shen Mo Mie Shi, another Shen Zang of the Shen Mo Zhi Ti," Xi Zun said leisurely. "Wherever the light of annihilation shines, all turns to ash, ignoring origin and bloodline."
"The Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons suppress the Shen Mo Suo Xian Chain, and Shen Mo Mie Shi suppresses the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons," Xiao Chen murmured. "In the clash of Shen Zang, is it truly a case of one thing conquering another?"
No one responded, but their hearts raced with shock. Just from the word "annihilation," they knew how overbearing this Shen Zang was. Even the Sheng Ti's Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons had fallen—its terror was unimaginable.
"Die! Die!" On the Hong Huang side, everyone gritted their teeth, aware of Shen Mo Mie Shi's dreadfulness. They believed Ye Chen couldn't withstand it, especially with his Lun Hui Yan sealed, leaving him no escape. He would surely be erased to ash under its light.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Chen activated his outer appearance Ba Ti, a hundred-zhang golden figure enveloping his sacred body.
At the same time, immortal fire and heavenly thunder emerged—one transforming into a flame god bow, the other into a thunder god arrow.
In his Ba Ti state, Ye Chen drew the bow like a full moon, the massive thunder god arrow soaring into the sky toward the black sun.
Indeed, whenever he saw a sun, no matter the color, he couldn't help but fire a World-Separating Arrow. The Wu Clan's Shooting Heaven divine ability was incredibly proficient in his hands, a natural counter to the sun.
In this instant, everyone looked up. The thunder god arrow, shot in Ba Ti state, was extraordinarily thick and carried devastating power, piercing through the void with destructive force. This was all thanks to the heavenly thunder and immortal fire, which had evolved after devouring so much true fire and true thunder, elevating their levels and amplifying the arrow's might.
Kui Luo frowned, fully aware of the arrow's dominance, and even he dared not face it head-on.
In a flash, he dodged and fled.
His evasion exposed the black sun to the thunder god arrow.
Boom!
With a tremendous explosion that shook the heavens, the black sun was pierced by the arrow and scattered into dust. The fearsome Shen Mo Mie Shi, which had shattered the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons, couldn't withstand a single World-Separating Arrow.
"Your Wu Clan's divine ability is quite something in his hands," Long Jie teased.
This remark was directed at the Wu Clan Shen Zi. The World-Separating Arrow Ye Chen used was exactly the Wu Clan's Shooting Heaven secret technique. In the past, the great Wu Clan shaman Hou Yi had used it to shoot down nine world-ending golden crows.
The Wu Clan Shen Zi coughed awkwardly, not denying it. In Ye Chen's hands, the World-Separating Arrow was indeed more domineering—he couldn't compare.
"Kui Luo has also activated his Shen Mo outer appearance," the Ling Clan Shen Nu said thoughtfully.
Gazing into the distance, on the battle platform, besides the hundred-zhang Ba Ti outer appearance, another giant had appeared.
That was Kui Luo's Shen Mo outer appearance, similar in essence to the Ba Ti outer appearance, with comparable stature.
The difference was that the Ba Ti outer appearance radiated golden light, like a war god forged from gold, while the Shen Mo outer appearance emitted demonic light, like a slaughtering demon god.
Now, whether human cultivators or those from Hong Huang, everyone perked up. A battle between these two massive figures would be spectacular.
And it was—far from ordinary. Not only spectacular, but the commotion was enormous.
After just two or three exchanges, the ten-thousand-zhang battle platform exploded.
Of course, with figures that size, who needed a battle platform? It was basically just for show.
