Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068
Eighty-one passes, each more perilous than the last, with the final pass being the most formidable.
Likewise, it is a secret realm, a vast land, though shattered.
Long ago, it was known to be extremely prosperous, rich and abundant in spiritual energy, with spirit veins sprawling across, and ancestor veins existing, even containing immortal qi mechanisms.
But now only a few fragments of the ancient continent drift in the endless starry sky, remnants of a vast continent that fractured and divided during a great war.
Each piece is massive, spanning at least several hundred thousand miles in area, with the largest exceeding a million miles in length and width, created by the dominators of great power from the Era of Gods as their dojo and world.
It is unknown how the Three Immortals found this dangerous secret realm, as it was likely one of the main battlefields of the godly battles of old, where too many powerful figures perished, leaving nearly half of the ancient continents stained red with blood, containing Saints, Heavenly Kings, and even ancient great powers.
There are also numerous broken star remains embedded within, with ancient cities collapsed and divine corpses scattered throughout.
This place undoubtedly gives birth to great evils, even more dangerous than the Hundred Battle Mountain Range, where even Heavenly Kings wouldn’t dare venture.
However, at this moment, both Ye Chen and Shen Rong broke through the eightieth pass, battling their way straight into the eighty-first pass, delving deeper.
In the Central Heavenly Palace of Emperor City, the Three Immortals, including the Goddess, all changed color, for they knew well the horrors within this secret realm, otherwise it wouldn’t be the last of the eighty-one passes.
Moreover, this final pass is of great significance, tying directly into their plans.
In the eighty-first pass, the two young supremes landed on a desolate vast continent, after a round of battle, they retreated a distance of ten thousand feet from each other.
A terrifying tiger roar shook the ancient continent; it was a Divine Tiger, a super divine beast that fell in the starry sky of yesteryears, comparable to the Purple Qilin in origin, both on par with supreme powerhouses.
But now, it is only qualified to be ridden by Shen Rong, who subdued it forcefully, sitting atop the Divine Tiger, his figure immovable like an ancient divine mountain, enveloped in demon light, commanding reverence.
However, on his right chest appeared a frightening blood hole, somewhat diminishing his splendor, blood flowing freely, even piercing through the black immortal armor, marking his first meaningful injury since arriving in the Ancient Emperor Realm.
In the past, he always swept through everything unbeaten, with even the supreme powerhouses unable to harm him in the slightest.
Now, he is finally injured, not just any injury, but a fist-sized blood hole on his chest, deep enough to see bone, with bright red blood staining the black armor.
This also highlighted the terrifying nature of his Emperor Bloodline, each drop of blood shining with a distinct divine radiance, each like a blood diamond, even producing a thunderous rumble like ancient great emperors slumbering within him, ready to awaken at any moment.
The Emperor Bloodline, indeed supreme and unparalleled, commands awe, containing boundless potential.
On the other side, Ye Chen was not unscathed; strong as his immortal saint body, with war armor formed from principle chains, it couldn’t completely protect him. His left arm was clawed, removing a palm-sized piece of flesh, which was crystalline, golden glass, also containing holy blood with thunderous potential.
In the recent series of barrier-breaking clashes, both Ye Chen and Shen Rong used their supreme means, each suffering injuries, neither able to showcase truly invincible divine postures to crush the other.
This streak of clashes was fairly even, each finding a worthy adversary, a matched opponent, yet it drew the gazes of many saints in the starry sky and countless people in Emperor City.
The battle between them surpassed the reincarnation level, infinitely splendid.
Moreover, it was worthy of being recorded in history, as one of the pinnacle divine battles since the Era of Gods.
Opposite, the wound on Shen Rong’s chest quickly healed, even disappearing, showcasing the reverse-heavenliness of ancient great emperor bloodline and secret techniques.
In his hand was the piece of flesh grabbed from Ye Chen’s arm, golden blood flowing down, each drop crystal clear like glass, with a unique divinity, holding tremendous vitality.
He brought it to his mouth, extending a scarlet tongue to lightly lick, then tore it apart with a big bite, swallowing it into his stomach, revealing a bloody ruthless grin: "So delicious, far more delicious than the flesh of that Combat Saint encountered in the Mythical Era, making me incredibly excited; you are my food."
This scene was projected into Emperor City, causing countless to shudder, with some Saints who hadn’t participated in the battle feeling cold to the bone, nearly trembling.
This is a diabolical figure, incredibly fiendish.
In the Central Heavenly Palace, the expressions of the Three Immortals, including the Goddess, were somewhat pale, showing concern, as Shen Rong proved to be more terrifying and fiendish than expected.
The Goddess held the jade hands of Yii Wu and Chen’er, whispering softly: "Don’t worry too much; Qian Yue will be able to handle it."
Though she said this, her voice trembled invisibly.
Even the divine power within the three women began to quietly surge, ready to intervene and aid Ye Chen if necessary.
However, the Peacock King, accompanied by Xia Miao’er and the Sky-reaching Green Bull, appeared in the Central Heavenly Palace, saying, "Don’t worry, three months ago, Qian Yue has been in seclusion, having made breakthroughs. You can see his methods, not even a Heavenly King could threaten him."
The Holy Body Regeneration Technique autonomously operates, instantly repairing injuries; Ye Chen’s surface flows with Immortal Golden Radiance, holding blood as resplendent as Constant Sun Red Gold—blood of Shen Rong, seized by him.
With deep gaze, Rune Path Marks flash, after staring for a long time, Ye Chen lifts his gaze, injecting it into the body of the Purple Qilin beneath him, aiding its instant refinement, making the Qilin’s body much more solid, and its aura much stronger.
Then, Ye Chen looks at Shen Rong, saying: "The Emperor Bloodline is indeed extraordinary, granting me insights, some benefits, but it’s still not enough. I want more, which would be more helpful for my research, so—"
He leaves his words unfinished, but his gaze at Shen Rong is obvious, wanting more Emperor Bloodline from Shen Rong.
Head-on confrontation!
Many marvel, Shen Rong is arrogant, but Qian also stands strong, not weakened in the slightest.
Such figures are young Supremes, essentially the tip of the needle meeting the point of an awl, further exciting countless people, as it promises a supreme battle.
"You really want to die, then I’ll fulfill your wish now!"
Shen Rong, gloomy as water, is infuriated that the "food" he sees before him also harbors such thoughts, it’s simply outrageous arrogance. Who do they think they are?
Riding the Divine Tiger, he unleashes terrifying might, shaking the entire Ancient Continent, causing one desolate mountain after another to collapse.
The earth cracks with numerous thick black fissures.
Both rider and mount soar to the Heavenly Dome, starlight showering down, interwoven like a silvery plume, making him appear akin to an Ancient Great Emperor descending, transforming into a stream of light, rushing towards Ye Chen in the distance.
A span of ten thousand feet seems distant, but for such figures, it’s merely a moment.
On the Ancient Continent, a golden, towering Blood Qi surges into the starry sky, like a Sky-reaching Pillar, spanning the Stellar River, vast and overwhelming.
That’s Ye Chen, his whole body’s Holy Blood is boiling, releasing peerless War Intent, coupled with heroic spirit capable of swallowing rivers and mountains, grasping a big halberd—Heavenly Desolation!
Ye Chen also proactively strikes, brandishing Heavenly Desolation to clash with the Destructive Celestial Spear.
The collision between two Supreme Weapons creates sparks like meteors, impacting the Ancient Continent, sinking desolate lands into fragments, riddled with countless cracks.
The two engage in a Supreme collision, even an Emperor-level Supreme Genius clash, with divine radiance pouring down from the Ninth Layer Heaven, tearing apart the vast earth.
Shen Rong wields the Destructive Celestial Spear, its blood-thirsting light erupting, staining the Heavenly Dome, a boundless Blood Sea pouring forth, overwhelming heaven and earth.
Moreover, within the Blood Sea, countless terrifying figures emerge.
There are humans, crocodile dragons, Heavenly Dragons, angels, Starry Sky Giant Beasts, even alien races, numerous terrifying figures appear, each incredibly formidable, all were creatures whose blood drank by the Destructive Celestial Spear, without exception strong.
Now all spirits manifest, akin to former peerless powerhouses resurrected, all fiercely charging at Ye Chen, crushing him.
Ye Chen remains unafraid, confronting the group attack secret technique, he also possesses one, not requiring Daoist Law to use.
Behind him opens a golden, vast Great World, that’s the Five Elements Golden Realm, countless Golden Daoist Soldiers emerge, each formed from solidified Golden Blood Qi, imbued with his Martial Arts Will, even bearing threads of Principle Residue, power sharply increased.
The Five Elements Golden Realm confronts the Blood Sea Spirits, wantonly bombarding on the Ancient Continent, explosively and destructively, unleashing endless destructive power, overwhelming heaven and earth, tearing apart the starry sky.
The Ancient Continent floating in the starry sky spanning over tens of thousands of miles, drunk with blood of gods yet unable to withstand the collision between the two.
A huge crack swiftly traverses the entire Ancient Continent, tearing open the vast earth.
Ultimately, with a thunderous blast, this piece of Ancient Continent in the starry sky splits into two halves, dust soaring sky-high!
The impact is indeed shocking, but doesn’t hinder the Supreme duel ongoing between the two.
Within the Five Elements Golden Realm, Golden Daoist Soldiers fly out one by one, Divine Swords, Flight Arrows, big cauldrons, ancient bells, Dao Towers, long staffs, Fangtian Halberds, etc., carrying threads of Principle Residue, transforming into a meteor shower to bombard outward, omnipresent, engulfing Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
The Blood Sea Spirits Shen Rong wields cannot approach Ye Chen; he stands in the vacuum, riding the Purple Qilin, unapproachable.
But Shen Rong isn’t part of this, he actively charges in, the Destructive Celestial Spear annihilates all Daoist Soldiers, tearing through the vast golden light, descending before him, wielding the spear for a killing strike, imbued with the Emperor’s son’s murderous intent.
