Chapter 704: Chapter 648: Heading Deeper, Second Update

The terrifying Dao power swept through the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, shaking heaven and earth; the void continuously cracked open, revealing one immense spatial rift after another, tearing apart the skies.

The two young prodigies at their era’s absolute peak were vying for supremacy, clashing with each other. Their collisions surpassed the might of a Saint Realm’s Heroic Master, almost truly crushing the Eternal Sky and destroying everything.

All this left other powerhouses utterly shaken; whether it was the Undying Young Master or the Combat Saint King, both were exceedingly strong. Such Divine Power was simply terrifyingly astonishing, who could compete against them?

Boom—

The heavens were annihilated, boundless Sky Light burst forth in torrents, and ultimately everything completely dissipated, vanished, nothing remained.

The two pinnacle masters had thus brushed past each other, their first clash ending just like that, ending so abruptly that none of the onlookers had a chance to truly react.

In truth, each had only struck twice, and all this occurred in the blink of an eye, shockingly quick. And even though everyone saw clearly, they all understood that this collision was astounding.

The attack power of both unprecedented prodigies could be described as shocking to the world, but it was still far from a true life and death duel, merely a casual exchange of moves.

It’s just that both pinnacle prodigies were outrageously strong, yet held back, with even more powerful moves not yet exhibited.

Should a true life and death duel occur, it would be terrifying many times over.

Ye Chen stood immobile as a mountain, his presence always dominating heaven and earth, instilling in everyone a terrifying sense of suffocation. Between his palms and fingers shone a golden light, resplendent as if immortal, both Supreme God and Saint.

The Undying Young Master also did not take a single step back, his might never waned, and as they faced each other, Changkong trembled.

But upon closer inspection, one could see his hand slightly spasming, with a trickle of blood flowing out—he was injured.

This shocked people at the strength of the Combat Saint King’s Treasure Body, being nearly invincible. In the clash, it was the Combat Saint King who had the slight upper hand, truly deserving of the title of the Eternal Forbidden Battle Body.

After casting a deep glance at Ye Chen, the Undying Young Master then turned and left, appearing quite nonchalant while ordering everyone else to leave as well.

"Young Master, this must not be missed; this is an excellent opportunity!"

A king urgently spoke, filled with eagerness. Now was the best opportunity to slay the Combat Saint King, it absolutely could not be missed.

The Undying Young Master snorted coldly, leaving the king as if struck by lightning, fresh blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, filled with shock.

Instantly, no one dared to oppose him anymore, falling silent as cicadas in winter.

Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, "Undying Young Master, you once said that there was an Ancient Great Power who restrained an Alien Demon Monarch, allowing the Ancient Human Emperor time to catch up and suppress him. Who was it?"

"The Great Power of the Combat Lineage," the Undying Young Master gradually replied, causing both Ye Chen and the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor to tremble.

A member of the Combat Saint Lineage had once, during the darkest of times, fought a battle, holding back an Alien Demon Lord on his own, buying precious time for the Ancient Human Emperor.

Just thinking about it also let one know how difficult it must have been for the Combat Great Power back then. Although he was a Great Power level Combat Saint who was invincible among his peers, a King was far more formidable than a Great Power by an unknown margin. Since time immemorial, few such individuals had come into existence, a fact evident in the struggles faced by the Human Emperor of that era. This made one aware of the terror that came with being a King.

Even if a Combat Great Power took action, the strongest War Body in the Ten Thousand Domains would not be enough. The gap between the two realms was probably greater than that between a Demigod and a Saintly Treasure, making a true battle impossible.

It was only by relying on the undying nature of the Combat Saint Body that one could hope to delay an Alien Demon Monarch. Otherwise, if it had been any other Ancient Great Power, they would likely have been suppressed by the Alien Demon Monarch long ago.

The majesty of a King, unparalleled through the ages, was the realm closest to that of Emperors and Heavenly Gods. Along with the Human Emperor, they bore the title of Primordial Supreme, which illustrated the point.

The Undying Young Master spoke with a complex tone, "Even though we are sworn enemies, the battle during the dark ages deserves the world’s respect for the prowess of those within the Combat Lineage. If not for him, there might have been an Alien Demon Monarch who escaped, bringing great disaster to the Ten Thousand Domains. This was his burial ground, his place of demise. Choosing this spot, I intended to bury you here as well, as a form of respect to the Combat Saint Lineage."

Even the Undying Young Master of the enemy lineage could show respect, despite being foes.

Ye Chen sighed. No wonder he had received a special sensation here. It turned out that a certain Great Power of the Combat Saint Lineage had been buried here, his Golden Holy Blood spilled upon the ground, thus giving rise to that sensation.

The void collapsed, and in the end, the Undying Young Master, together with several strong people, strode away, no longer besieging and attempting to kill Ye Chen.

The Undying Young Master had his Martial Arts Will, and he did not wish to kill Ye Chen through despicable methods of a mob attack.

Their lineages were mortal enemies, but he too sought a fair fight at the same level. He truly wanted to use his own strength to slay Ye Chen and attain enlightenment on the Emperor’s path, proving his own invincible stature, rather than relying on other means.

The Heavenly Ruins extended for nearly tens of millions of miles, bereft of any plant life. Dark mountains numbering in the hundreds of thousands stood tall, while bleak, black winds howled and screamed, filling the area with an eerie atmosphere.

Rumors had it that the Alien Demon Monarch had not truly perished, but that his Residual Soul lingered here, stripping away the life force of mortal beings in the hopes of resurrection. Hence, this place was rife with evil that could strip away the life force of all living creatures.

But this spot was just the outermost edge of the Heavenly Ruins, so it wasn’t considered particularly dangerous. Even though it could strip away life force, with Ye Chen’s strength, he was well-equipped to defend against it.

Ye Chen paid his respects here. His deep gaze looked towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Ruins, as if he could see the Ancient Great Powers of the Combat Lineage fiercely battling the Alien Demon Monarchs, desperately delaying them until the absolute suppression by the Ancient Human Emperor.

Suddenly, he felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart, causing him goosebumps. In a trance, he seemed to see a dark shadow looming and shouted out, "Who’s there!"

With the Saint King’s shout, heaven and earth shook, and the land quickly began to crack.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor was at a loss, "Little Moon, what’s wrong?"

Without a word, Ye Chen abruptly charged towards the deeper parts of the Heavenly Ruins. Taken aback, the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor hurriedly said, "Little Moon, you can’t go in there. That’s the most sinister place, capable of swallowing all life force. In the past, an Ancient Great Power fell inside."

Boom—

Ye Chen paid no heed and charged straight through. He immediately called upon the World Power from the gate of the Gulan World, enveloping his body, and even the Ten Layers of Heavenly Divine Light Ring appeared, fortifying him.

He had not gone to such lengths even when fighting the Undying Young Master, which spoke volumes of how cautious Ye Chen was feeling.

He refused to be careless and had sensed the strangeness deep within the Heavenly Ruins, taking preventative measures beforehand.
