The Combat Saint King made his move. Although it was just a large hand descending, unadorned by any Dao Trace Laws, everything seemed so primordial.
Yet, only the truly significant figures understood that this was an expression of reverting to simplicity. The hand stretched out, seemingly not large, but in an instant, it shrouded the heavens and earth, as if refining a vast expanse of the void, turning it into a world within its grasp.
Ordinary people were astounded. The Combat Saint King’s words seemed too arrogant. Such a strike, devoid of any mana, surely even one of them could handle with ease.
However, the truly powerful ones, like those watching from the Immortal Forces—Heroic Masters and even those of Saint Master Level—truly changed their colors.
Such methods, oh how extraordinary, even many of the Saint Masters had not achieved this step.
The Combat Saint King, regarding the comprehension of the Dao’s realm, had long surpassed many Saint Masters.
The Four Great Half-Saint Kings naturally also felt the true terror of the Combat Saint King. Their expressions were extremely solemn, exchanging glances, and with all their might, they let out long yells. Each deployed their most fearsome Divine Skills, exerting themselves to resist.
Ancient Mirrors crossed the void, Canglan became the sea, Blood Dawn as the sun, Purple Light of the Nine Dragons...
At this point, they were nearly going all out, mounting a defense, resisting with all their might.
The vast hand covered the heavenly dome, enveloped the cloudscape, and with a thunderous descent, treated the world as if it were a small universe to refine.
All attacks, capable of completely annihilating Saints into ash, but the hand’s ancient Dao Rhythm flowed, and every attack vanished, unable to harm the hand in the slightest.
At last, under the thunderous collision, the Heavenly Universe was annihilated, and the hand too disappeared. Under the surging Divine Light, all Four Great Half-Saint Kings were sent reeling back, each coughing blood profusely, their faces pale, their figures faltering, nearly collapsing from the void.
In contrast, the Combat Saint King, standing in that expanse of Changkong, immovable, was like an Ancient Divine Mountain that eternally existed, unshakable.
Yet on his palm, a trickle of golden blood emerged, bright and shining, brimming with overflowing vitality.
His gaze swept over the Four Kings and he nodded, "Not bad, you actually managed to wound me."
However, these words fell to the ears of the Four Kings like a harsh rebuke. All Four Great Half-Saint Kings had joined forces and were only able to wound the Combat Saint King’s palm, drawing merely a trickle of golden blood.
Even though they were all at the level of Half-Saints, the Combat Saint King’s strength exceeded that of Kings by far, unimaginably strong.
As Kings were like great mountains to the ordinary young powerhouses, difficult to summit, so too was the existence of the Combat Saint King—an insurmountable peak.
With this single move, he defeated all Four Great Half-Saint Kings, his strength unmatched in all the world.
The Combat Saint King, invincible across generations!
In this heaven and earth, all those watching were awestruck, especially the younger generation. They had thought that the Kings’ strength was already something to look up to, but after witnessing the Combat Saint King’s power did they realize that there were heavens beyond heavens, men beyond men.
No wonder in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, those Immortal True Kings of the past generation had exclaimed in awe at the Combat Saint King’s unparalleled invincibility. Upon truly witnessing it, they all understood how terrifyingly invincible he was, beyond any match.
Likewise, watching the Combat Saint King standing tall upon the heavenly dome, bathed in golden light, so extraordinary, like a Mythical Emperor or an Emperor’s reincarnation, invincible in the world, at this most impetuous and youthful age, many saw the Combat Saint King as a divine figure to be worshipped.
Even more young maidens’ hearts stirred, ready to dash forth to offer their hearts to the Combat Saint King, vowing to marry none but him.
Naturally, the most excited were those from the side of the Heavenly Gate. The Combat Saint King’s mighty emergence thoroughly intimidated the pride of the Heavenly Gate. Who could contend with him, his majesty unmatched?
All the young prodigies of the Five Immortal Forces were in despair, even the Four Great Kings were no match, let alone them. Together, they were not even close to being an opponent for the Combat Saint King.
The Combat Saint King’s strength had long exceeded the imagination of the world.
However, the gaze of the Combat Saint King suddenly fell upon the Four Great Half-Saint Kings, and then, with a flick of his finger, streaks of golden light shot out, aiming straight at the center of their foreheads.
This action left the Four Great Half-Saint Kings in shock, "Combat Saint King, what do you want to do?"
"Just collecting a bit of interest. Hand over your King’s Divine Crowns, I need them," Ye Chen spoke indifferently. The four golden lights continued unabated, piercing into the center of their foreheads. Instantly, Primordial Spirit Light burst forth, vigorous and vibrant, creating a brilliantly shining Divine Light Column from the top of their skulls. Majestic crowns of immense authority hovered there, their regality boundless, causing all onlookers to nearly submit.
The King’s Divine Crown!
This was the proof of kingship conferred on those who walked the path of the Human Emperor, afforded to recognized sovereigns, a gift from heaven and earth.
Ye Chen, having acquired the True King Divine Crown at the very end of the King’s Ancient Road, which was missing half of its form, naturally needed to collect these King’s Divine Crowns to complete it.
He believed that once he absorbed the King’s Divine Crowns of these Half-Saint Kings, it would be completely restored.
The Four Great Kings roared, their cries shaking heaven and earth. At that moment, they all continuously struggled to resist.
A King’s Divine Crown, bestowed by heaven and earth, could only be granted to true kings. If snatched away, it would be tantamount to no longer being a king, a disgrace of the highest order.
Ye Chen snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with cold lightning, powerful and domineering. He raised his hand and suppressed them. A world sprang forth in his palm, enveloping the individuals, causing their bodies to almost split open and almost explode.
The Combat Saint King, his might matchless!
The four King’s Divine Crowns were drawn by Ye Chen into the void, floating above his hand, resplendent and full of sovereign majesty.
Yet, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile. The King’s Divine Crown?
A most dazzling and supreme column of light surged from the top of his skull, reaching the highest part of the Heavenly Dome, stretching directly into the Outer Domain Starry Sky Land.
The most attention-grabbing aspect was a Divine Crown of unprecedented majesty hovering there, similar to the King’s Divine Crown, yet more resplendent and exuding regal sovereignty.
If the King’s Divine Crown was of a king, then this Divine Crown was of the Supreme Emperor!
The extraordinary Divine Crown floating above the head of the Combat Saint King slowly exuded a pressure ancient and majestic, originating from the soul itself, as though the Emperor of Ten Thousand Realities had descended. At this moment, the once-brilliant Four Great Kings’ Divine Crowns looked many times dimmer, losing their luster, trembling as subjects would before an emperor.
"The True King Divine Crown!"
Seeing this regal and extraordinary Divine Crown, more noble than the King’s Divine Crown, everyone lost color.
According to legend, only the Immortal True King was worthy of such a True King Divine Crown.
