Chapter 196: Chapter 180: Sole Honor

Astride the stone seat in the ancient hall, the human-shaped light group, having been pierced through the blood-colored armor by an arrow from Wu Han, dimmed significantly in its luminosity.

Yet the divine power remained undiminished, the blood-colored armor clanged musically, swinging the Blood Sword, it cleaved waves of blood-red Sword Radiance, sweeping across the mighty.

The numerous trialists were struck flying by the Sword Radiance, and had they not crushed their Spirit Talismans in time, these very waves of blood-red Sword Radiance would have certainly and effortlessly slain the trialists.

At this moment, the top-ranking strongmen from the Four Great Super Forces had arrived, stepping on nothingness, bursting forth with powerful Dao Power, grasping the four Martial God Dao Soldiers, constantly recharging and unleashing streams of Martial God Light, striking the human-shaped light group like lightning.

Moreover, there were many other trialists helping, True Essence Power methods struck out, enveloping the skies, all targeting the Blood Armor Guard on the stone seat, utterly unstoppable.

Roar—

With a roar from the blood-colored armor, the force of the sonic wave spread out, deafening, causing the many trialists to be blown away, bleeding from every orifice, a truly pitiable sight, startling and eye-catching.

However, it appeared that the human-shaped light group was also on the verge of collapse, as its entire body’s radiance dimmed in waves, seemingly about to disintegrate at any moment.

"Speed up the attack!"

Yangg Shaoqi bellowed, and a multitude of attacks quickly bombarded the human-shaped light group.

Strangely enough, the Blood Armor Guard did not dodge at all; it just sat there immovable, allowing itself to be attacked, a surprising sight. Otherwise, it surely wouldn’t have been so easily wounded.

Boom—

Finally, the human-shaped light group shattered, leaving behind the armor and the Blood Sword, as well as the Dao Trace Divine Bottle filled with Dao Blood, falling upon the stone seat and causing everyone to eye it greedily.

"I forgot to tell you all something," the white-haired divine being suddenly spoke, with a smile that seemed like no smile, "To obtain the Dao Blood, one must sit on the stone seat for the duration of burning one incense stick, thirty minutes. If you withstand it, the Dao Blood will belong to that person." His words seemed to mock the many trialists.

This condition made many curse in frustration, it was clearly a death sentence. Who could achieve this, even an actual Martial God sitting up there and weathering attacks from the powerful was likely to be subdued.

But regrettably, if one desired the Dao Blood, it had to be so.

"My fellows, aid me in ascending the stone seat, and there shall surely be a drop of Dao Blood for each of you afterward, how about that?" Yangg Shaoqi transmitted a message requesting the assistance of the other top-ranking strongmen.

The Dao Blood contained at least five or six drops; even after distributing one to the others, two or three drops would remain, including the Dao Trace Divine Bottle and the Blood Armor and Blood Sword—a truly lucrative trade.

Yangg Shaoqi knew this, and it didn’t mean others didn’t as well—they all scoffed, none agreeing.

For a time, all top-ranking super experts stood on guard against each other, no longer presenting a united front.

But at this moment, Fairy Caiyun stepped into the void, making her move. With a force shocking enough to astonish celestials, invisible Dao waves spread out, she brushed aside a few contenders and rushed forward.

"Courting death!"

The top-ranking super experts naturally did not wish for Fairy Caiyun to obtain the Dao Blood. Even though this fairy was quite mysterious, even formidable enough to contend with Ye Chen.

The five experts wielding Martial God Dao Soldiers immediately began their assault, all attacking Fairy Caiyun together.

Beneath Fairy Caiyun’s visage, her expression was unknown, but with a soft sigh, she somehow harnessed a mysterious and profound power of Daoist Rules. Four strikes of Martial God Light that were shot at her just vanished into nothingness, leaving no clue to the methods she employed.

Only Ye Chen was taken aback, suddenly recalling a most mysterious and terrifying power of the Dao, known as Spoken Word Follows—a mysterious force. Could she also be in command of it?

But shock aside, Ye Chen could not let Fairy Caiyun lay hands on the Dao Blood, as it was equally essential to him.

He charged forward, his entire body erupting in a blazing Golden Divine Light that exploded across the skies, and then he took action.

Seeing that it was Ye Chen, Fairy Caiyun’s eyes grew sharp as she exclaimed, "Ye Chen, I already yielded to you just now. Don’t you know how to reciprocate? Must you oppose me like this?"

Ye Chen sneered, "Give way to me? Ridiculous, do I need your charity?"

The two clashed head-on, each displaying truly peerless might. In an instant, their collision seemed to tear the void apart, with Dao light filling the sky—an encounter even more terrifying than the usual clashes between Martial Gods.

This dilapidated Ancient Hall seemed as if it would completely explode, so intense was the tremor, as if it were about to shatter into pieces, with a thunderous rumble shaking the heavens and the earth.

The two great young competitors stood opposing each other, neither gaining the upper hand. Both were too strong, making it difficult to suppress the other steadily. However, Ye Chen seized the initiative, moving closer to the stone throne, causing Fairy Caiyun to let out an involuntary snort of contempt.

Swish—

Ye Chen leaped agilely into the air, his body soaring through the sky like a dragon-leopard, unleashing layers of invisible force that repelled the other young contenders vying for the throne and landed directly on the stone seat.

Blood Armor, the Blood Sword, and even the Dao Blood suddenly fell into Ye Chen’s hands.

But before he could settle firmly into his position, the next moment, one of the Top 100 Trial Participants seized the opportunity to attack, a flying kick coming sideways—indeed, a sinister low blow.

This act instantly enraged Ye Chen. When had anyone dared to treat him in such a manner? With a gloomy expression, he delivered a palm strike, which sent a booming shockwave through the void, simply and directly pulverizing the Trial Participant into a burst of flesh and blood despite the barrier of Spirit Talisman’s dim light, turning into a scattering blood rain.

This scene sent a shiver down everyone’s spine; it was terrifying. Just a single palm had smashed a Top 100 Trial Participant into a mess of flesh and blood. Even the Spirit Talisman’s light that could withstand a blow from a Martial God was as fragile as a bubble, instantly destroyed.

Ye Chen’s strength had clearly surpassed that of ordinary Martial Gods. He was unmatched, a force to be reckoned with.

Ye Chen sat upon the stone seat, high and mighty like a Supreme Emperor condescending to look down upon his subjects. His cold voice echoed, "If you don’t want to die, stay away. Otherwise, do not blame me for slaughtering mercilessly."

Although Ye Chen sounded incredibly overbearing and arrogant, almost everyone felt a chill in their heart because he was indeed too powerful. As a Crownless King, he had reduced a Top 100 Trial Participant to a rain of blood in the blink of an eye. His strength demanded reassessment.

But not everyone was terrified or afraid. Some still looked on with hostility, like Yangg Shaoqi, Li Cheng, Long Tenghua, Wu Han—contestants known as King contenders from the Four Great Super Forces—each wielding their respective Martial God Dao Soldiers, standing off against Ye Chen.

On the other side, Fairy Caiyun looked at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, although you are strong, I suggest you give it up, or you will face unimaginable consequences that you should be aware of."

The corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled into a cold smile as he glanced towards Fairy Caiyun and spoke softly, "Are you threatening me?"

Fairy Caiyun’s reply was unsure, "You can think of it that way."

Ye Chen laughed, bright yet cold, his aura becoming even more terrifyingly supreme, like a Great Demon God, coldly regarding Fairy Caiyun and beckoned with a hook of his finger, "Come here, I promise not to beat you to death."

This disdainful and contemptuous attitude caused Fairy Caiyun’s eyes to harden, despite acknowledging the young man’s formidable strength – he dared to belittle her so blatantly.

Yet in the next moment, she calmed down and her figure drifted backward, retreating rather than advancing, puzzling onlookers.

But at this moment, Yangg Shaoqi and others representing the Four Great Super Forces as King contenders led many Trialists in an assault against Ye Chen, signifying a murderous and terrifying attack.

Hundreds of True Yuan attacks surged together, directed at Ye Chen, capable of killing any Martial God.

Boom—

It was only the first round of attacks, shaking the Ancient Hall. Ye Chen, bound by the condition of obtaining Dao Blood, could not dodge. Even with his robust Human Origin Golden Body, which activated the buffering effect of the Golden Divine Blood, he was still injured, coughing out a strand of dazzling golden blood from the corner of his mouth—it was incredibly eye-catching.

This sight heavily troubled the likes of the Thirteenth Prince and others, but they were powerless to intervene, blocked from supporting Ye Chen.

Soon, the second round of attacks was upon him. This time, the assault included the Dao Soldiers wielded by the four King contenders of the Super Forces, an attack even more ferocious than the first.

Ye Chen coughed up even more golden blood, which was a delight to behold. The strongest Ye Chen, in pursuit of the Dao Blood, had finally sustained injuries under the barrage of so many mighty foes. Yet his mere injuries after such fierce attacks commanded respect.

Were it not for Dao Blood, they would never have dared to make a move.

Yet quickly, Ye Chen became furious, his dreadful aura bursting forth, sweeping through the Ancient Hall as his icy voice thundered, "Very well, since you wish for death. I shall then pronounce your death sentence!"
