Na Wudao's accumulations were terrifyingly extensive, and ascending to immortality in one leap was extremely difficult. He needed the strongest stepping stone to assist him in reaching the supreme summit.

However, when Na Wudao chose him as a stepping stone, Ye Chen was still only a grandmaster of martial arts and had no qualifications to be the stepping stone for such a towering figure.

"At that time, I was still young. How could you have considered me to be your stepping stone?" Ye Chen asked earnestly, truly eager to know the reason.

"You are mistaken!" Na Wudao looked at Ye Chen, his eyes swirling with wisdom. "I chose you not as a stepping stone but as an opponent!"

"Oh?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"When we first met, though you were young and your cultivation wasn't earth-shattering, I was still deeply stirred by the sight of you!"

"At that moment, a mystic feeling naturally emerged in my mind, a state of mind I simply cannot describe!"

"When we met, I felt as if I had foreseen the past, present, and future, and I was convinced that you were my strongest opponent who could help me transcend and break through my current predicament!"

"So, I chose you!" Na Wudao's eyes shone brightly. "Your achievements today prove that my choice was correct, my feelings were right. You are the person I've been waiting for!"

Na Wudao felt somewhat overwhelmed inside; his martial arts foundation was too profound, making it exceedingly difficult to Ascend to be a Land God.

He had thought that in this life, a breakthrough was hopeless, but the emergence of Ye Cheng showed him a glimmer of hope!

"Mystic luck graces the enlightened heart; so that's what it was!" Ye Chen looked enlightened.

Powerful martial artists could foresee fortune and misfortune. Na Wudao had a profound sense upon seeing him, which indeed was an unfathomably mystic occurrence.

"I need endless pressure, even to experience life and death. Can you give that to me?!" Na Wudao's gaze burned intensely as he looked at Ye Chen.

Na Wudao was in a special realm; he needed an utterly sublime battle, an unmatched formidable enemy to give him boundless pressure, even to beat him to the brink of death and back, only then could he leap to immortality!

But no one could give him that kind of pressure!

The Emperor and Na Wudao's combat prowess were only evenly matched, certainly not to the level of infinite pressure.

Yun Zheyue was somewhat stronger than Na Wudao, but that strength was extremely limited and could not make him experience the throes of life and death.

The only one who could make Na Wudao experience life and death was the Great Venerable of the Other Shore, but he was supremely exalted and could obliterate Na Wudao with one move; that would indeed be an actual death.

Therefore, Na Wudao's life was filled with regrets, not having found an overwhelmingly strong opponent!

"Your end is approaching. If I burst forth with all my strength, can you withstand it?" Ye Chen looked at Na Wudao, his question devoid of any arrogance, merely stating the facts.

Ye Chen had transcended thought and limitation and knew countless martial arts techniques; his current combat power was absolutely of a world-shaking level, the foremost under the Great Venerable of the Other Shore!

Na Wudao was the ultimate immortal, possessing the strength to fight him, but this Dragon King was too old!

"I still have ten years until my end. If you truly can suppress me, then I will exchange ten years of life for a moment of peak condition!" Na Wudao's eyes gleamed brilliantly.

"Very well, let's fight!" Ye Chen looked at Na Wudao, his supreme fighting spirit gathering.

"Rumble—"

At that moment, Na Wudao and the entire South Sea merged; his aura magnified infinitely. Although the appearance of the Dragon King was aged, he was still supremely majestic.

"Anyone who doesn't want to die better run, run as far as you can!"

Just then, the Emperor let out a long howl, instructing the heroes to stay away from the battlefield, lest they be affected by the clash of these two.

"The Dragon King has unleashed his power, something extraordinary; even the legendary Emperor was scared away! Let's run quickly too!" someone shouted.

"..." The Emperor stumbled, she wasn't really scared away; she merely didn't want to disturb their battle.

"Let's stay away from here, to avoid the fallout!"

"We'll run but keep looking back; we can't miss any thrilling moments. I want to see Ye Chen getting thrashed!"

"Cut the crap and just run!"

"..."

Na Wudao absorbed the South Sea into himself, and at that moment, the entire South Sea churned, giant waves of hundreds of meters crashed against the sky, the supreme divine might frightening the heroes into chaotic flight, fearful of being affected.

"Ye Chen, you have not disappointed me, and I won't let you down either!" Na Wudao's aura intensified, his fighting spirit high as he looked at Ye Chen.

Na Wudao was the ultimate immortal, undefeated throughout his life, always seeking the strongest opponent. Ye Chen's emergence delighted him.

Ye Chen was just a junior, but Na Wudao was not the least bit haughty; he regarded him as an equal.

"Dragon King!" There was no divine might emanating from Ye Chen, but his eyes dazzled, like two beams piercing through the galaxy, an embodiment of his martial will.

"Come, let me see to what extent your combat power has reached!"

Na Wudao and the entire South Sea merged into one, becoming an indescribable entity, his divine might boundless.

Humans have their limits, but the sea is vast and boundless!

Na Wudao, with the essence of the South Sea fused into his being, reached an earth-shattering level of power!

"Boom!"

Na Wudao was the first to make a move, his palm splitting open like a massive mountain range, pressing down oppressively.

The force of this palm was extremely terrifying, with the whipping of the wind and the tossing of huge waves as it descended, the whole South Sea bubbled tumultuously!

"With the momentum of the South Sea fused, Na Wudao truly seems invincible. Even I must temporarily retreat in the face of this form of Na Wudao!" Yun Zheyue stood at the clouds, his face growing solemn as he witnessed Na Wudao's might.

Na Wudao was too terrifying, so terrifying that it made hearts tremble and even the Dragon Chief had to step back!

"Na Wudao's prowess is supreme, but Ye Chen's Divine Skills remain unfathomable. What does he intend to do?" a sovereign expressed his confusion.

With the momentum of the entirety of the South Sea behind him, Na Wudao pressed down on Ye Chen, who seemed stunned into inaction, standing there foolishly, neither dodging nor avoiding. This made the sovereign feel very puzzled.

What is he trying to do, perhaps he wants to be killed by Na Wudao's palm in a blaze of glory?

"This palm will stabilize all regions and combinations, even an ultimate battle immortal would probably be brutally suppressed. Ye Chen, the junior, has been scared silly, he's finished for sure!" a Land God exclaimed in genuine astonishment upon seeing the king's dominance.

The might displayed by Na Wudao at this moment overturned everyone's understanding, his power infinitely close to transcending to the other shore, capable of subverting heaven and earth!

No one believed Ye Chen could win, even though he had just repelled a multitude of powerful challengers, no one believed he could prevail.

Because Na Wudao was too strong, Ye Chen had indeed been scared silly.

As Na Wudao's palm fell, the entire South Sea churned, and Ye Chen, within this sea area, seemed like a fragile leaf in a boat, liable at any moment to be shattered by the giant waves.

But just as Na Wudao's palm struck and all seemed doomed, Ye Chen moved!

Ye Chen's movement was very simple, it was to throw a punch at Na Wudao!

Just like how Ye Chen had previously swept through the multitude of rivals continuously, unceasingly, with a single punch to each, now he delivered a punch to Na Wudao.

"Boomboom!"

With Ye Chen's punch, his previously hidden brilliance was finally revealed, a boundless aura, an aura that transcended all things!

This simple punch dimmed the heavens and earth, shocking the spirits of all.

If Na Wudao was an unlimited ocean, then Ye Chen was a deity of violent upheavals capable of overturning rivers and seas!

This punch carried a single will, that of brutal destruction, leveling everything!

"Boomboomboom—"

Ye Chen's punch and Na Wudao's palm collided, instantly erupting into terrifying fluctuations.

At this moment, the sea area was in chaos, with hundred-meter-high waves surging as if to tear apart the skies, the winds and clouds above the ninth heaven stirring as if brewing an unmatched terror.

This scene resembled the coming of doomsday, impacting everyone's spirit with a sense of universal demise.

"My God, how can he be so strong, to actually withstand the Dragon King's divine might!" a strong contender watched Ye Chen, his face filled with fear, his voice trembling as he spoke.

Na Wudao, fused with the momentum of the South Sea, should be infinitely close to transcending, but what reason does Ye Chen have to be so powerful!

"Kirin marches to the heavens, nine tramples destroying the heavens!"

Ye Chen ignored the shock of the crowd, his fist blocking the Dragon King, and he instantly deployed the Kirin Nine Tramples, attacking Na Wudao.

The Kirin Nine Tramples is a stacking martial technique; each step increases the attack power, and after the ninth step, it could shatter heavens and fracture rivers.

Ye Chen entered a state of no thought or limitation; he had cultivated Kirin marches to the heavens to the Great Perfection Realm, no longer adhering to one step per realm. With just one step, he could unleash the power of nine steps!

Thus, he unleashed this domineering martial technique, pressing down on Na Wudao, the sea raged into fierce tides, and the winds and clouds surged wildly.

This moment, the multitude was terrified, for under the brilliance of Ye Chen, even the old Dragon King, fused with the momentum of the South Sea, seemed less imposing than Ye Chen!

"Unrivaled burst, ascension to the extreme!"

Seeing the terrifying Ye Chen, Na Wudao immediately stimulated all his potential, spending his remaining lifespan to bring forth his strongest state.

"Ye Chen is too fierce, we've just started fighting, and he's already forced Na Wudao to fight desperately, using life itself to battle to ascend to the ultimate!" a sovereign witnessed Na Wudao stimulating his potential, his eyes twitching involuntarily.

"Na Wudao has stimulated all his potential, bringing himself to the strongest state, if he cannot breakthrough in this battle, then he can only end in obscurity!" Yun Zheyue also noticed this problem, Na Wudao had gone all out right from the start, Ye Chen's strength was one reason, but this old Dragon King also had the resolve of a decisive battle.

If he didn't breakthrough, he would fall.

"Ocean Limitless!"

In this moment, Na Wudao's white hair turned black, his entire presence bursting with vigor, this terrifying Dragon King stimulated all his power, returning to his most peak and invincible state.

"Boom!"

As their killing moves collided, the strongest clash unleashed chaos across the sea area.

"You seek pressure, then I shall grant it as you wish, fulfilling your inner expectations!" Ye Chen looked at Na Wudao, knowing that the Dragon King was now risking everything, resolved to either succeed or die trying.
