"Holy Light shines upon the world, Divine Power roars across the nine provinces!" Yalina showed no fear, her martial prowess resplendent, ranking among the strongest just under the other shore.
"Thousand Shadows Slash!" Qianyue Bing's figure was unpredictable, her war blade erupted with dazzling light, aiming to strike down Yun Zheyue with lethal force.
All three were Supreme Battle Immortals, Yun Zheyue being slightly stronger than them, but with Yalina and Qianyue Bing joining forces, Yun Zheyue's advantage was immediately lost.
"Boom!"
At that moment, spirits boiled, the void revealed a ripple, which spread outward, instantly shattering the endless void, shaking the heavens, a terror beyond description.
"Yalina and Qianyue Bing have extraordinary cultivation and possess countless powerful martial skills, and they are on their way to advance to the other shore!"
"However, their joint might could only contend with Yun Zheyue! Even, if Yun Zheyue were to get serious, they would have to be suppressed... It seems that the Dragon Head's might is unparalleled, and this is not just hearsay!" Ye Chen did not take any action, staying hidden in the distance, quietly observing this battle.
The strength of Yalina and Qianyue Bing was something Ye Chen was already very clear about, but Yun Zheyue's power was astonishing.
Nevertheless, Ye Chen came to terms with it, as Yun Zheyue had long established her power and had obtained a flower from the other shore, it was within reason for her to be so formidable.
"Evil barrier!"
At this moment, Yun Zheyue came forth furiously, neglecting the two women and pressing towards Ye Chen instead.
Yalina and Qianyue Bing were Invincible War Immortals, their strength just a hair's breadth away from hers, hence even the terrifying and invincible Yun Zheyue could not immediately overcome the two women.
But Yun Zheyue's majesty was challenged, naturally inciting extreme rage. She saw that these two women had deep connections with Ye Chen, so she intended to capture Ye Chen first, and then use him to coerce them, making those who offended her pay the price!
"Interesting!" Qianyue Bing suddenly laughed.
"Ye Chen's martial prowess has long been terrifying, his outburst even stronger than you and me, but whether he's stronger or weaker than this Yun Zheyue remains to be seen," Yalina's beautiful eyes sparkled, with a hint of anticipation.
Yun Zheyue pressed towards Ye Chen, and Yalina and Qianyue Bing didn't even bother to intervene, for they knew the terror that was Ye Chen.
"Yun Zheyue, you dare to strike me?" Yun Zheyue's overwhelming presence surged forward, sending Ye Chen retreating explosively, disbelieving as he stared at Yun Zheyue.
"I gave you the Dragon Head Ring, treating you as my successor!"
"Even, I tacitly allowed your affair with Xiang Han!"
"You have not disappointed me, now advancing to Ten Dragons, becoming one of the mightiest in the heavens and the earth!"
"But, you've become too arrogant, having two Supreme Battle Immortals as your backing, daring to challenge my authority?"
"I raised you like a disciple, yet in the end, you dare to betray and annihilate your master, what use is there to keep you around?"
Yun Zheyue approached step by step, like a deity from the ninth heaven, her tone proud, treating Ye Chen like a junior.
"You think my achievements today are all cultivated by you?" Ye Chen scoffed.
"Isn't it so?" Yun Zheyue said. "Your accomplishments today are all thanks to my protection!"
"One could say, your every aspect of strength, I bestowed upon you, and now I shall take back all that I have given you!" Yun Zheyue gazed down from the heavens, proudly coming forth, extending her jade hand towards Ye Chen, a huge, sky-obscuring palm emerged, pressing down on him.
"This woman is really putting on a show, now there will be something interesting to watch!"
At that moment, Qianyue Bing and Yalina exchanged smiles, both harbouring an unspoken anticipation, eager to see Yun Zheyue's shocked expression.
"Rumble—"
The giant palm descended, and Ye Chen casually clenched his fist, a single punch towards the heavens stirred endless vibrations, shattering the incoming giant palm.
"My strength is all bestowed by you?" Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Yun Zheyue. "Do you know how strong I am? What qualifications do you have to bestow such mighty power on me?"
"This!" Yun Zheyue was somewhat shaken.
That palm was a casual strike from her, yet it should have easily suppressed a Ten Dragons. How could Ye Chen break the giant palm so effortlessly?
"Surprised?" Ye Chen chuckled lightly, his smile filled with a rebellious spirit.
"Hmph!" Yun Zheyue snorted coldly, flipping her jade palm, she struck at Ye Chen with another blow.
With her strike, the heaven and earth boiled!
Endless ghostly Divine Power surged, wildly converging into a point, transforming into a gigantic palm that pressed down fiercely on Ye Chen.
This time, Yun Zheyue held nothing back, determined to suppress Ye Chen.
As the giant palm came bearing down, Ye Chen's response was simple, as always, a skyward punch.
"Rumble—"
An invincible strength burst from Ye Chen's fist, instantly dissipating the sky-obliterating palm, simple, brutish, invincible!
"What!" Yun Zheyue's face changed, revealing a shock.
The martial force exhibited by Ye Chen was unfathomable, her unrestrained palm was blocked, no, shattered by him!
"Shocked?" Ye Chen was still smiling, a radiant and captivating smile, his defiant aura clear.
"How can you be so powerful?" Yun Zheyue asked incredulously.
Yun Zheyue rarely felt shock because there was little that could surprise her.
Having cultivated to her realm, she was aware and unfazed by most things, so it was near impossible to shock her!
Yet, Yun Zheyue was not just shocked but utterly dumbfounded by the sight of Ye Chen's invincible eruption.
The Ten Dragons Taboo was said to be comparable to the weakest of immortals, similar to a newly ascended ordinary Supreme Battle Immortal.
However, the power displayed by Ye Chen surpassed the Ten Dragons, outstripped even the Land Gods, and even eclipsed high-end War Immortals, his combat strength dazzling and supreme, nearly overwhelming Yun Zheyue!
"Didn't you just say that all my strength is a gift from you? Then how could you not know how powerful I am?" Ye Chen said, looking at Yun Zheyue.
"Have you had some fortunate encounter during the three years you've been gone?" Yun Zheyue speculated.
"What do you think?" Ye Chen said with an enigmatic smile.
"It seems you really have had a stroke of luck!" Yun Zheyue said. "But do you think that just because you've had a fortunate encounter, you are qualified to compete with me?"
"Yun Zheyue, you are too arrogant!"
"It's natural for the mighty to be haughty, but you lack a sense of reverence, and that will lead to your downfall sooner or later!"
Ye Chen looked at Yun Zheyue calmly, like looking at an ethereal fairy who had descended into the mortal realm.
Yun Zheyue exuded an aura of finesse, but it lacked the slightest trace of worldliness, her pride knew no bounds.
The thing that drew people to her was her lofty demeanor; the very same thing that made her detestable to others!
"Are you trying to lecture me?" Yun Zheyue said gravely.
She despised Ye Chen's gaze—calm and untroubled, no sign of astonishment or reverence, a gaze that met hers as an equal.
Yun Zheyue had always seen Ye Chen as a junior, as her successor, and now that this upstart had surfaced invincible, suddenly earning the right to look her in the eye as an equal, it made her deeply uncomfortable.
"I'm not lecturing you; I'm merely stating the facts!" Ye Chen relaxed his body. "But I'm quite curious to know how strong I am!"
"You're planning to strike at me!" Yun Zheyue's eyes sharpened; Ye Chen's eagerness to fight couldn't be anything but a challenge to her?
"Indeed, the warm-up is over, let's turn it up a notch!"
Ye Chen moved like a soaring dragon, his entire being transforming into a prehistoric beast, launching a powerful assault on Yun Zheyue!
"Bastard!" Yun Zheyue exclaimed in shock and anger.
Angry that Ye Chen had dared to attack her and shocked at the boundless horror of his simple leap that encompassed two mighty martial arts!
"Subduing Dragon Subduing Tiger Golden Arhat!"
A sense of invincibility radiated from Ye Chen as he descended from the heavens like a Subduing Dragon Subduing Tiger Arhat, bearing down on Yun Zheyue with dominating force.
"You know I am the dragon head, yet you summon the dragon?" Yun Zheyue laughed angrily, like an infuriated Profound Immortal.
However, the explosive power that Ye Chen unleashed was terrifying even to her, and she had to treat it with the utmost caution.
"Celestial demons and divine buddhas, a punch that empties the void!"
Yun Zheyue suddenly struck, unleashing her strongest blow—a punch vast and mighty with the power to press down the wilderness of eight desolations!
"Boom!"
The clash between the ultimate Supreme Battle Immortals shook the entirety of Luoshi City.
The city's inhabitants were alarmed to discover that the divine being who ruled over the void was actually fighting a man!
"That man looks familiar!"
Someone recognized Ye Chen's face and immediately cried out, seemingly in disbelief.
"He's the hero from three years ago, the one with the strongest aura and fiercest in battle!"
"It's him; he's not dead!"
"The Corpse King and the heroes entered the stone cavern, the hero has come out, the Corpse King is nowhere to be seen—did the hero kill the Corpse King?"
"But why would the hero return and engage in a great battle with a deity?"
Ye Chen's appearance sparked a sensation; he was the hero who had confronted the Corpse King three years ago, and everyone in Luoshi City naturally recognized him.
However, the sight of Ye Chen battling with Yun Zheyue above the void caused shock among some observers.
The hero and the deity were both Guardian Gods of Luoshi City; weren't they supposed to be good friends?
Why were the hero and the deity fighting each other?
