The battle raged on; what was initially a siege by the Tianqi Empire’s strongest Forbidden Army, the Martial God Guards, against Ye Chen had turned into two distinct halves, with Ye Chen and the Demon Flood Dragon coordinating an assault on three Martial Gods.
Ye Chen’s Divine Fists were invincible, glowing with a fierce crimson radiance akin to dancing Divine Fire, sweeping horizontally as if he were a humanoid True Dragon sweeping across the void. A direct Martial God opponent was sent flying, coughing up blood, his Divine Weapon let out a mournful wail, spiderwebbed with cracks, and Divinity draining away.
The Martial God was horrified; how could Ye Chen be so powerful that even the sturdy Martial God Weapon had shattered, nearly blasted to bits?
Too strong.
Then Ye Chen descended once more, his Divine Fist thundering out again; this ti, the Martial God Dao Soldiers completely exploded, turning into a sky full of light rain that scattered and vanished., every speck of light was a fragnt dissolving into Nihility, nothing left in existence.
Several Martial Gods were shocked; just two strikes, and a Martial God Dao Soldier had been blasted apart, a feat so potent it shook everyone to the core.
The stricken Martial God was sent flying, coughing up blood, as nurous glittering fragnts had penetrated his body, embedded in his flesh, burning him, causing terrible grievous injuries.
The other two Martial Gods couldn’t co to his aid in ti.
Even the head of the Imperial Guards, a Super Martial God, was too far away to intervene quickly enough to surpass Ye Chen.
At that mont, the weakened Martial God’s Life Fire flickered; facing an onrushing Ye Chen preparing to strike, he had no power to resist, his face overtaken by boundless terror.
"Ye Chen, you dare!" the Super Martial God bellowed, his voice shaking the heavens, but Ye Chen revealed a cruel smile, "There really isn’t anything in this world that I, Ye Chen, wouldn’t dare to do."
Afterward, he swung his Divine Fist, striking the heavens; the Martial God who had suffered heavy injuries was completely blasted into ash, leaving everyone present profoundly shocked.
How much ti had passed? Just three punches, and a Martial God had been so quickly killed; Ye Chen’s title of Young Demon King was indeed not in vain.
But what terrified the crowd even more was Ye Chen’s audacity; this man simply defied all bounds, daring to kill even the Tianqi Empire’s Martial God Guards, truly intent on making an enemy of the Tianqi Empire.
If they knew that the Fifth Prince of the royal family, Yang Shen, had also been slain by Ye Chen, their thoughts would probably not be the sa.
The Super Martial God roared, arriving in front of the two remaining Martial Gods to protect them, his aura as a Super Martial God becoming even more overwhelming, as he shouted, "Ye Chen, you’re seeking death, by killing the mighty Martial Gods of my Tianqi Empire, I swear we will be at odds till death!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly, "When has your Tianqi Empire ever been good to ? You make it sound as though I fear your Tianqi Empire’s pursuit. I dared to kill Yang Shen, let alone just a re Martial God Guard."
"What, even the Fifth Prince Yang Shen has been killed by the Young Great Demon King?"
The Ancient City below burst into uproar, Ye Chen had even killed the Fifth Prince Yang Shen; was he truly about to wage a one-man war against the Tianqi Empire?
The Super Martial God was at a loss for words, this Young Great Demon King before him could not be regarded with conventional wisdom, truly lawless, but it stirred his urge to kill even more.
"Form the array, strike with the Five Elents Formation, trap him so he cannot escape." The captain bellowed, with the five remaining Martial Gods flying out to their positions, forming a Five Elents Five Corners formation, intertwining Divine Light between them, starting to consolidate into a Great Formation.
Naturally, Ye Chen would not idly watch the formation take shape; he struck out imdiately, assaulting the heavens, as if the void itself was about to explode, the sky trembling.
But the Super Martial God made his move, countering Ye Chen’s attack, and even the Demon Flood Dragon could not break free.
In the end, the formation was completed, with the five Martial Gods connecting to each other, transforming into a five-colored light screen. The Five Elents Five Corners exchanged places, completely trapping Ye Chen within the Great Formation, his struggles futile, as the Super Martial God entered to attempt to kill Ye Chen personally.
Then a terrible battle ensued.
The Super Martial God was nad such not just for the title of "super," but because once one had reached the realm of Seventh Layer Heaven, everything beca different; their strength far surpassed that of Martial Gods below the Seventh Layer by more than just a simple doubling.
The head of the Imperial Guards commanded Mana like an ocean, his every move pulsating with Divine Power, the heavens trembling with his formidable might with each strike.
Ye Chen narrowly avoided a sweep of Divine Light at his head, grazing his face and leaving a fiery sting, a portion of his face split open, oozing gold-tinted blood—he had been struck.
Although the Four Great Ancient Heroes could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Super Martial God, they still fell short in truth, as could be seen just by this head of the Imperial Guards’ power alone.
This Super Martial God was too powerful, his Mana like an ocean, ceaselessly pounding the void, seeking to suppress Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn’t dare to be careless, he went all out, his Glazed Golden Body in full display. His entire body was circulating dazzling Light Radiance as he desperately defended, shimring with brilliant Divine Radiance, engaging in close-quarters combat with the Super Martial God.
Only in close combat could he contend with the Super Martial God. Otherwise, if the opponent attacked with Divine Skills from a distance, he would suffer a huge disadvantage.
Naturally, the opponent didn’t know this, and being trapped within the Five Elents Formation, the opponent couldn’t attack from a distance. Moreover, Ye Chen’s speed was unrivaled, allowing him to quickly close any distance and fight fiercely at close range.
Boom Boom Boom—
The combatants clashed continuously, and each collision trembled through the nihility violently, Divine Light dazzling, earth-shaking, with thunderous roars erupting like terrifying blasts, deafening to the ear.
Were it not for the Five Elents Formation sealing off that area of nihility, just the fluctuations of the Dao Power alone would have been enough to annihilate swathes of forests and land.
The more they fought, the more shocking it beca, as the head of the Imperial Guards realized to his astonishnt that Ye Chen’s combat power was too formidable. As a Super Martial God himself, he couldn’t completely suppress his opponent, which shocked him greatly.
For so many years, aside from the Ancient Hero Lord Wushuang, he had never encountered such a monstrously talented individual.
Too monstrous.
"I refuse to believe you are so powerful that you can match a Super Martial God," the head of the Imperial Guards raged, his Divine Spear shining brilliantly as he thrust again and again, emitting streams of flowing light, as if to tear the very fabric of space, aiming each devastating strike at Ye Chen’s vital points.
"You are strong, but you’re mistaken. In close combat, I, Ye Chen, fear no one, not even if you are a Super Martial God," Ye Chen said coldly. He threw punch after punch, colliding directly with the opponent’s glowing Divine Spear, the sound tallic and crisp, with bursts of sparks exploding from the impact.
He displayed the power of an exceptional Treasure Body, his whole body aglow with the color of glazed gold. His fists were even more dreadful now, sohow starting to circulate with a radiant Essence Blood. It gave the head of the Imperial Guards such a terrifying sensation that it sent chills through his heart.
Boom—
The Divine Fist struck horizontally, tearing through space, and in an instant collided with the Divine Spear. This ti, the spear vibrated and the head of the Imperial Guards’ arms tingled, his palms ached, and the spear was blasted away.
The head of the Imperial Guards was startled, but at that mont, Ye Chen had already arrived in front of him. The fist, radiant with crimson light, directly bombarded his chest, bursting into a sky of blood light.
Imdiately after, the head of the Imperial Guards was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood, his chest caved in, ribs broken, internal organs seriously damaged and bleeding profusely, utterly defeated by Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen didn’t pursue his success. He knew it was easy to injure a Super Martial God but to truly slay such a high-level warrior was another matter. Unless he went through Ultimate Ascension and used the Fighting God Seal, it wouldn’t be possible to kill him imdiately. It would require an arduous battle and a certain price to be paid.
Moreover, using the Fighting God Seal ca at a cost, leaving him weak for a period, which was detrintal under the current circumstances. He sensed strong presences quickly approaching from afar, causing him to be vigilant. He needed to break through the blockade as swiftly as possible and escape to the horizon.
Boom—
He struck the Great Formation with his True Blood God Fist, only to find it exceptionally sturdy. The Five Elents Five Corners made it difficult to break. Even with close-range combat capabilities matching a Super Martial God, he could not break it swiftly. The energies of the Great Formation could interchange and nullify more than half of the impact. The remaining force was distributed among others, unable to concentrate on a single individual.
"It can’t be helped, I must use so of my trump cards."
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, his fingertips burst open, a trail of fresh blood erging, which then condensed into a resplendent Order Divine Chain shimring in the void, rattling loudly.
It was indeed derived from the Dao Essence Blood he had refined, a fragnt of the Dao within it that he had transford into this Order Divine Chain. Dazzling as if crafted from Blood Diamonds, mysterious Dao Patterns interwoven upon it, casting an eerie blood light.
Despite lacking powerful fluctuations, the head of the Imperial Guards’ complexion changed drastically, for he felt that the Order Divine Chain posed an even greater threat than Ye Chen’s True Blood Fist, instilling in him an intense sense of peril.
"What is this thing, to be so terrifying?"
Pfft—
The Divine Chains shot out, effortlessly piercing the Five Elents Formation, tearing open a gap through which Ye Chen, together with the Demon Flood Dragon, charged out, fleeing towards the horizon, swiftly vanishing from their sight.
Before long, powerful presences descended one after another - other powerhouses of the Tianqi Empire, all hastening to support the hunt and kill.
However, unfortunately, Ye Chen had already fled, completely unreachable.
The people in the city below were all astounded. As expected of the Young Great Demon King, not only had he managed to escape from the Seven Martial Gods, but he had also killed a Martial God and injured a Super Martial God.
"Pursue!"
The powerhouses of the Tianqi Empire soared into the sky, chasing after Ye Chen. They had to slay Ye Chen no matter what, for if word spread, it would be a massive blow to the entire Tianqi Empire.
