Chapter 2467: You Can Do It If You Want

The starry sky became lively once more, with stars exploding one after another as Ye Chen collided with them. Explosions rang out continuously, star domains collapsed repeatedly, and the vast expanse trembled violently.

This scene left not only the onlookers stunned but even the Zhun Di of the myriad heavens raising their eyebrows in surprise.

Clearly, the attacker was an unparalleled powerhouse, with combat strength surpassing Ye Chen's, or else Ye Chen couldn't have been sent flying so far. This person must possess the power to slay emperors.

Has the Da Cheng Sheng Ti made a move?

Those unaware of the secrets, like Kui Niu and others, naturally assumed this, as no one else could have such prowess to knock Ye Chen away—it had to be the Da Cheng Sheng Ti.

But those in the know, like Shen Jiang and others, were puzzled. Where in the myriad heavens was there still a supreme being?

Boom!

A section of the starry sky collapsed, and Ye Chen, who had been sent hurtling through space, finally steadied himself.

His face twisted even more ferociously, demonic energy surging wildly and demonic might overwhelming as he stared fixedly at the opposite side of the starry sky. He gritted his teeth, his features contorting like a malevolent ghost, as if he already knew who it was.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The starry sky quaked, the banging sounds suddenly echoing—it was the sound of footsteps. The figure was so massive that each step made the universe tremble.

Under the watchful eyes of all, a figure clad in golden light appeared before everyone.

It was a towering silhouette, like an ancient stele standing at the end of time, or a brilliant sun radiating dazzling light, with every golden ray piercing the eyes.

"Di Huang?" The ethereal old Daoist raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression one of bewilderment and confusion. If he hadn't misheard that day, Di Huang had already left this place—how could he still be in the myriad heavens?

"It's a divine sense avatar." Di Ji said leisurely.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of Zhun Di understood.

Di Huang was simply too powerful; it was hard to tell whether it was his divine sense or his true form.

Though the ruthless experts were surprised, they weren't overly shocked.

Of course! The Da Cheng Sheng Ti couldn't have left without backup. Even if the divine sense avatar wasn't as strong as the true form, it still had the power to slay emperors, as proven by how it had knocked Ye Chen down.

"See, I told you! The Emperor couldn't just stand by and watch."

"It's still a bit late for him to show up."

"If he had come out earlier, our seniors wouldn't have had to fight so fiercely."

"Looks like the Tenth Emperor of Great Chu is about to get a beating."

Discussions erupted everywhere, with those of limited vision unconditionally believing this was Di Huang himself, the true Da Cheng Sheng Ti. Few could recognize it as just a divine sense avatar.

"If you had a backup plan, you should have come out sooner!" Di Mie couldn't help but curse.

It wasn't just him—over ninety percent of the Zhun Di who had participated in the battle felt like cursing. If he had shown up earlier to end this, we wouldn't have had to take such a beating. Who knows how many have bled or gone missing—those spatial black holes are no joke.

They wanted to curse, and the Di Huang divine sense avatar wanted to curse too. I only have one chance to appear, left by the true form to deal with the Tian Mo. Who would have thought you all would be so incompetent? With over a thousand peak Zhun Di, many carrying emperor weapons, how could you fail to take down even a Ye Chen?

The crowd of Zhun Di took a deep breath and collectively withdrew. You do it if you're so capable.

Di Huang remained silent, slowly steadying himself and gazing across the heavens at Ye Chen.

"You've truly surprised me."

Ye Chen sneered, stepping forward step by step, a mocking smile playing at his lips, showing no sign of fear. If it were Di Huang's true form, he would turn and flee, but if it was just a divine sense avatar, then it was time for a fight. If not for being caught off guard earlier, would I have been knocked down?

"You've surprised me as well."

The Di Huang divine sense avatar replied calmly. He had truly underestimated the Zhuxian Sword; it had entered the ancient wilderness and actually managed to come out. What an exceptional sword—across the myriad heavens, you're the most outstanding.

"A mere divine sense avatar dares to challenge me?" Ye Chen scoffed coldly, striding across the vast starry sky in an instant, unleashing a torrent of demonic energy as he slammed down a palm, summoning a realm of Jiu You demonic world.

The Di Huang divine sense avatar said nothing, rising step by step into the air and pointing out a streak of star river, shattering the Jiu You demonic world. Even Ye Chen was forced to stagger back. Before he could regain his footing, the Di Huang divine sense avatar was upon him again, pointing straight at Ye Chen's brow.

Destroy me?

Ye Chen grinned wickedly and used Fei Lei Shen, vanishing in an instant and reappearing behind Di Huang. His palm, like a divine blade etched with destructive runes, aimed to split Di Huang in two.

Splash!

Blood sprayed out, the dark crimson fluid gushing forth.

But it wasn't the Di Huang divine sense avatar who was wounded—it was Ye Chen, struck by a palm from the Di Huang divine sense avatar that sent his blood and bones flying. If the force had been any stronger, he would have been reduced to a mist of blood.

So what if it was Fei Lei Shen? It was useless against the Di Huang divine sense avatar, who could match its speed.

"See, it proves he's the one who's capable."

Sheng Zun coughed dryly, and the other Zhun Di did the same.

If it were the real Ye Chen using the Fei Lei Shen technique, they could probably keep up, but with this supreme demonic god using it, that was another story—they couldn't match it.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

As the Zhun Di coughed, blood rained like light across the opposite starry sky.

Thunderous booms shook the celestial dome as the supreme demonic god and the Di Huang divine sense avatar clashed fiercely. The battlefield scenes destroyed heavens and earth, with layers of annihilating halos spreading across the eight directions, accompanied by numerous destructive visions that obscured that section of the starry sky, casting a doomsday hue over the vast universe. A battle of this level deterred anyone from approaching.

It was evident that Ye Chen was at a disadvantage, relying on the profundity of Fei Lei Shen but caught completely off guard. From that first strike, he hadn't been able to hold his ground, getting suppressed by the Di Huang divine sense avatar the whole time. Not only was Fei Lei Shen ineffective, but even his Di Dao Darkness, Di Dao Ethereal, One Thought Eternity, Reverse World Reincarnation, Sheng Ti Divine Treasury, and other god-level abilities had become mere decorations.

Ah!

For the first time, Ye Chen let out a furious roar, filled with rage as his demonic energy grew even more violent and his killing intent intensified. He had thought he could easily take down the Di Huang divine sense avatar, but not only had he failed, he was repeatedly injured. If not for the resilience of his bloodline limits, he would likely have been reduced to ashes by now.

Zheng!

The Zhuxian Sword hummed, infusing his sacred body with multicolored immortal light.

This sword must have realized it wasn't that Ye Chen wasn't strong enough—it was a matter of realm suppression. Even with fusion to the Red Dust Six Paths and activation of the bloodline limits, Ye Chen was still only at the peak of Zhun Di. The Di Huang divine sense avatar, though not the true form, was at the Zhun Di perfection realm.

The difference of half a realm was like heaven and earth.

A miscalculation—a serious miscalculation.

All his schemes had been nearly flawless, yet he had overlooked the backup left by Di Huang. The awkward part was, he couldn't even win; if he couldn't beat the divine sense avatar, the true form was out of the question.

"One day, I will cut you down."

Ye Chen snarled menacingly and instantly invoked the Great Reincarnation Heavenly Dao, attempting to escape through it.

He had to flee. Continuing to fight when he knew he couldn't win would be foolish—better to bide his time. The wise choice wasn't to desperately battle the divine sense avatar but to retreat, hide, and return once his strength recovered to settle the score.

Unfortunately, his wishes were ideal, but reality was harsh.

He did enter the black hole, but the next instant, he was forced out again—not of his own will, but by being struck out. He spat out a mouthful of blood with dramatic flair.

Under the gaze of all, a graceful figure emerged from the black hole.

Upon closer inspection, it was Hong Yan—or more precisely, Hong Yan's divine sense avatar. Di Huang had left a backup, so she couldn't be without one, meant to counter a Tian Mo invasion. But instead of Tian Mo, this supreme demonic god had arrived, leaving her no choice but to deal with Ye Chen.

There was no other way—while the Di Huang divine sense avatar could easily defeat Ye Chen, suppressing him was difficult. They needed to join forces to fully seal him away. After all, neither of them was the true form; they were both divine sense avatars.
