Chapter 971: Slaying a Godly General

Boom! Rumble!

The earth-shattering melee raged on, shattering the heavens and splitting the earth. As far as the eye could see, within a radius of a thousand li, the battlefield was filled with figures locked in combat.

What began as a duel between Ye Chen and the Shen Chao Sheng Zi's forces had escalated into a world-shaking free-for-all, far beyond anyone's expectations, with the scale growing to unprecedented proportions.

The heavens are about to change!

The distant spectators murmured to themselves as they watched the astonishing chaos unfold.

Mo Wang Kui Yujiang remained standing outside the battlefield, silently observing the epic struggle.

From his vantage point, his vision could encompass the entire scene.

His expression was somewhat dazed, as he spotted too many familiar figures: successive generations of kings, direct descendants of emperors, and divine generals from past emperors' courts. They did not belong to this era but had sealed themselves away to continue the ancient war from eons ago.

While he watched the battlefield, others were watching him.

The spectators occasionally glanced at this supreme king, noting that no demonic domain army followed behind him.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

On the battlefield, Ye Chen shone with golden light, like the most brilliant star in the sky.

His combat prowess matched that of the kings of past eras. Across the entire battlefield, aside from a few exceptional individuals, no one could rival him. He had carved a path through the chaos, leaving a true mountain of corpses and sea of blood in his wake.

Die!

The first divine general of the Wu Zhu Clan charged forward, unleashing a heavenly blade strike that split the heavens and earth.

He was a man of immense physique, with blood energy surging like an ocean, akin to a god-king himself. He was the top divine general under Shi Hun Wang, who in ancient times had followed Wu Zhu Wang in conquests, forging legendary exploits and immortal tales.

Yet, with the rise of Tai Wang, who suppressed the Wu Zhu Clan by force, they had been defeated back then and chosen self-sealing. Now, the first divine general's power had surpassed his former self, rivaling even Wu Zhu Wang.

Bang!

Ye Chen was struck and staggered back, nearly falling from the void.

The Wu Zhu first divine general instantly closed in, his palm covering the sky, with Wu patterns flowing between his fingers, as heavy as a mountain.

Break!

Ye Chen surged upward against the heavens, his fist piercing through the massive seal. With a heavenly blade, he struck the general down to one knee on the ground.

Ah!

The Wu Zhu first divine general roared in fury, forcing himself upright, his eyes shooting out two beams of blood-red lightning, aiming to annihilate Ye Chen's soul and true form.

Ye Chen's expression was calm as he shattered the two lightning beams with a single palm.

Wu Tian Blood Sacrifice!

The Wu Zhu first divine general invoked a powerful divine ability, raising one hand to the sky and erecting a blood-red altar. It was chained with countless vengeful spirits, somewhat resembling the blood slaughter array of the Xue Ling family.

Suppress!

The blood-red altar descended from the air, every wisp of aura emanating from it as heavy as a mountain.

Open!

Ye Chen punched out a golden divine dragon, shattering the blood-red altar. Even the Wu Zhu first divine general suffered backlash, stumbling backward with shock in his eyes. The young man before him was overwhelmingly powerful.

Ten Thousand Swords Wind God!

Ye Chen stepped forward in an instant, perfectly merging the Wind God Art with Ten Thousand Swords Unite. The sword was entwined with bloodline power and Dao principles, its might devastating and unstoppable, dominating all.

Pfft!

On the spot, the Wu Zhu first divine general's chest was pierced through.

Ah!

The Wu Zhu first divine general roared, spitting out a blood-red killing sword from his mouth.

Roar!

From Ye Chen's brow, the Dan Zu Dragon Soul pounced forth, devouring the blood-red killing sword. Carrying the aura of divine calamity, it plunged into the general's sea of consciousness.

Pfft!

The Wu Zhu first divine general was severely wounded, his mind buzzing as if about to explode. When he regained his senses, a pitch-black war spear was already upon him, enlarging in his vision until it impaled him completely in the void.

Bastard!

Sensing the first divine general's fall, Wu Zhu Wang roared in anger and moved to attack personally, but he was blocked by Sheng Dian's first divine general Mo Yuan in another part of the void.

Exterminate him for me!

On the battlefield, nine figures converged from all sides—the nine great divine generals under Xue Wang. Together, they raised a blood-red war banner.

Ugh!

Ye Chen, who had just slain the Wu Zhu first divine general, was immediately forced down from the void by the blood-red war banner.

You old hag!

Ye Chen cursed under his breath. Those nine great divine generals of the blood clan were ganging up on him alone, which infuriated him to no end.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!

He swung his killing sword fiercely, unleashing thousands of sword beams straight into the void.

Buzz!

The blood-red war banner howled, sweeping out a sea of blood that ground the thousands of sword beams into dust.

Jiu Zhou Shen Tu, appear!

Ye Chen snorted coldly, summoning the Jiu Zhou Shen Tu. Even the Xue Ling Shen Dao flew into the void, forcefully suppressing the blood-red war banner.

Then, he ascended in a single step. His nine Ba Huang Fists merged instantly, striking the ninth divine general of the blood clan, sending blood and bones flying. Before the general could steady himself, Ye Chen beheaded him with a sword.

But this came at a cost, as the other eight blood clan divine generals struck him. Had it not been for his powerful sacred body and extraordinary recovery, he might have been blasted apart on the spot.

Extinguish!

Ye Chen shrank the distance in a step, reaching the Wu Zhu Clan's sixth divine general. His Chi Xiao Jian rang out, slaying the general outright.

With one move, he killed another divine general of the blood clan. His might even made Kui Yujiang, watching from outside the battlefield, narrow his eyes in wariness.

You deserve to die!

The blood clan's third divine general roared, teleporting forward, only to collide with Ye Chen's Chaos World outer Dao manifestation. Before he could unleash his divine ability, he was pressed back. By the time he stabilized, Ye Chen was already upon him, slaying another divine general with a sword.

Hiss!

The spectators gasped in shock. That was Xue Wang's third divine general—a quasi-heaven peak cultivator, a renowned powerhouse from thousands of years ago. Yet, in front of Ye Chen, he was no match.

Come on!

Ye Chen was covered in blood, fighting like a madman as he faced the remaining six divine generals, growing fiercer with each exchange.

Kill for me!

More joined the fray, sweeping in like a Tai Yin Shen Hai, resembling a god-king. Upon closer inspection, it was the Tai Yin True Body Huo Zun. His face was twisted in ferocity, leaving a trail of corpses and blood in his wake.

But at that moment, a graceful figure dashed out from the side, blocking his path.

Xuan Ling Body?

The spectators recognized the figure at a glance—it was none other than the Xuan Ling Body Ji Ning Shuang, now the sect master of Nan Chu Tian Ting Zheng Yang Zong.

This is getting exciting!

The spectators' eyes gleamed as they focused on Ji Ning Shuang and Huo Zun.

In the past, the two had been mortal enemies, clashing multiple times without a clear victor. They had even joined forces in the Shen Ku, only to be repelled by Ye Chen at the time. In terms of combat strength, they were evenly matched, but in bloodline, Huo Zun held a slight edge over Ji Ning Shuang.

I've been waiting for you!

Ye Chen stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ji Ning Shuang. One was like a golden war god, the other like a queen from the nine heavens, becoming the brightest stars on the battlefield and drawing all eyes.

Kill!

The six great divine generals attacked from all sides, each burning their essence, boosting their combat power to the limit.

Fight!

Ye Chen charged out first, taking on the six great divine generals alone.

Ji Ning Shuang turned toward Huo Zun, continuing their old rivalry. Now advanced to the quasi-heaven realm, she was on the same level as Ye Chen, possessing the power to slay Huo Zun.

Bang! Boom!

This battlefield drew the most attention, with only the nine of them within a radius of several thousand zhang—no one dared approach, as the shockwaves from their clash were too devastating and could engulf anyone nearby.

Elsewhere, Xiao Chen, wielding the Zhan Wang Ji, faced the Yao Clan's three great divine generals, battling fiercely in the void with earth-shaking intensity.

Long Teng and the others were in similar situations, each facing formidable opponents—whether divine generals under past kings or elders from major forces.

As descendants of emperors, their combat prowess was in no way inferior to Ye Chen's. Every fight was a masterful display, upholding the illustrious reputation of the emperor's lineage and shining as the brightest stars on the battlefield.

Bang! Boom! Rumble!

The world-shaking melee was brutally intense, turning the entire world into a blood-soaked hell. The spectators watched with hearts pounding in fear.

It was clear that Ye Chen and the emperor's descendants were at a disadvantage.

This was Dong Ling Gu Yuan, but also Bei Chu. In Bei Chu, it was the domain of Shi Xue Dian and their allies. Over ninety percent of Bei Chu's forces were involved, giving them far superior overall strength compared to the emperor's descendants.

"Is this the great decisive battle?"

Someone murmured.

"It wasn't before, but it is now." An elder cultivator sighed, gazing toward the distant horizon.

There, thunder roared and the earth shook as a dark mass of people surged forth, blotting out the sky. They came on swords, riding clouds, or mounted on spirit beasts, their killing intent piercing the heavens as they headed straight for the battlefield.

From afar, the spectators could see a towering war banner, emblazoned with two majestic characters: Tian Ting.
