CHAPTER 989: CHAPTER 901: ESCAPE FROM CERTAIN DEATH

The Heavenly King has fallen!

Blood light shatters the sky, engulfing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and all the great mountains of the ten directions are collapsing.

The countless demon beasts inhabiting them are swept away, crushed to dust. Even the Holy-grade Beast Kings are not spared, utterly annihilated, terrifying beyond imagination.

This is the Dao Blood of the Heavenly King, exploding with Divine Soul fluctuations. Everything below the Heavenly King must decay and perish.

A terrible Dao Wave can be heard within a hundred thousand miles, with the mountains and valleys shaking violently, the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, ghosts wailing and deities howling.

Moreover, the once clear night sky, with its full moon and sparse stars, is suddenly covered by boundless blood clouds, with torrential blood rain pouring down, accompanied by thick blood-colored lightning, its sound resounding for tens of thousands of miles, reaching far and wide.

In a trance, it seems as if there are ghostly howls and wails of deities.

This is a celestial anomaly, a horrifying scene appearing after the fall of the Heavenly King.

A Heavenly King is hard to be born; each birth is extraordinary, especially within the Ancient Emperor Realm, where one can become the overlord of a continent, born under the protection of Heaven as the Son of the Heaven.

Now that such a one has died, even Heaven must descend an anomaly to mark the burial of the Heavenly King’s fall and departure.

"Old Three!"

The Three Great Heavenly Kings from the Ancient Divine Palace cried out mournfully, their old eyes filled with tears, sorrowful and filled with anger.

On the Great Power Level Ancient Ship, all the heroes watched with shock as, despite being pursued by so many Heavenly Kings, the Combat Saint King managed to explode the Third Heavenly King.

Moreover, he completely killed him, his Divine Soul dispersed into the heavens and earth, with no chance of revival anymore.

Even as an enemy, his unparalleled strength had to be respected.

Defying immortals in battle, the Combat Saint King had reached this step, becoming a myth through the ages.

Blood light retreated, golden light surged. In the void, Ye Chen rapidly reformed his physical body, the utmost profound meaning of the Holy Body Regeneration Technique on full display, claiming that as long as there is a drop of blood, the body can be reformed, undying and immortal.

The Combat Saint Technique left behind by the Combat Saint Ancestor is the invincible capital of Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen looked pale, for each time of such a body reformation is a consumption of the Origin.

Without any hesitation, Ye Chen grabbed the Human Emperor Tower and the Celestial Desolation Halberd, escaping as soon as possible, condensing into the most radiant golden light shooting into the sky.

"Trying to leave? Impossible, today we must kill you at any cost!"

On the Great Power Level Ancient Ship, the Three Great Heavenly Kings from the Ancient Divine Palace roared, filled with earth-shattering anger.

They could not allow Ye Chen, the culprit who killed Third Heavenly King Xuan Elder, to escape like this.

The Great Power Level Divine Ship was driven to the extreme, faster than before, with a series of Great Power Level array patterns emerging, interwoven into the void, continuously increasing speed.

Ye Chen also continued to increase his speed, employing both the Traversing Secret Technique and the Heavenly Eagle Body Technique, even merging with the Immortal Phoenix Divine Wings, his entire being flickering with thunder, reaching the pinnacle of speed, leaving explosive bursts along the way, shaking the mountains and valleys, an astonishing manifestation of speed.

First Heavenly King Xuan Elder roared: "Combat Saint King, you are despicable for using such cowardly means to kill Old Three. How disgraceful! Stop now; I want to tear you to pieces!"

"Idiot!"

Ye Chen’s voice came from ahead, along with a disdainful snort: "I’ve seen shameless, but never as shameless as you Ancient Divine Palace people. So many Heavenly Kings can gang up on me, but I’m not allowed to use some means? Damn you and your ancestors!"

Ye Chen’s temper flared, rarely so explosive, and in his heart stirred a murderous intent. One day, he vowed to utterly wipe out the Ancient Divine Palace!

He fled, filled with danger, covering three hundred thousand miles, but was caught up. Ye Chen finally recovered, once again deploying the Chaos Secret Skill, employing the Power of Faith, defending with the Human Emperor Tower, attacking with the Celestial Desolation Halberd, unleashing the Supreme Daoist Body, sparing nothing to battle against the twelve Heavenly Kings.

Naturally, Ye Chen was still pressured and beaten extensively, far from being a match for them.

During the battle, he even considered summoning a Great Power Level projection to descend, but felt inexplicable palpitations several times, frequently glancing at the Great Power Level Ancient Ship, sensing that there must be terrifying means hidden on it.

He could not use it immediately, worried as he was, but fortunately, he had numerous methods, even evolving the Chaos Tripod, entering it for refuge, and even during critical moments, leveraging the power of the Heavenly Kings to smelt chaos, deducing stronger Chaos Profound Meanings.

He had the Chaos Tripod destroyed five times, but because of its obstruction and the resonance with the Human Emperor Tower, Ye Chen was fundamentally heavily injured mostly, never having his body completely destroyed, resisting tenaciously.

But ultimately, Ye Chen’s body was shattered, golden light engulfed that heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Kings’ murderous intent surged, trying to eradicate the Primordial Spirit in the blood light and utterly kill Ye Chen.

However, with the protection of the Human Emperor Tower, Ye Chen pulled through the danger, restructuring himself, marking his first encounter with such severe group killing since entering the Ancient Emperor Realm.

If not for the Human Emperor Tower, the Celestial Desolation Halberd, the Holy Body Regeneration Technique, the Chaos Tripod... Ye Chen would have been dead ten times over.

Even if he were stronger, it was impossible for him to be a match for these Heavenly Kings, as he was not yet a true Heavenly King, and there were too many Heavenly Kings on the opposing side.

This was an exceedingly difficult battle; Ye Chen struggled to fight, menaced by the Great Power Level Ancient Ship, and the twelve Heavenly Kings.

The Three Great Heavenly Kings from the Ancient Divine Palace acted with full force, while the Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings clearly held back; otherwise, Ye Chen would have been in even graver danger.

In the end, as Ye Chen restructured, golden light engulfed everything, shrouding all from probing.

He gambled everything, throwing out the Void Divine Platform, setting the farthest target, spanning millions of miles.

Boom——

In the dazzling golden light, a pitch-black spatial passage appeared, and Ye Chen rushed forward, riding the Void Divine Platform, transforming into a brilliant golden thunder to charge into it.

"No, this brat is going to escape!"

The First Heavenly King Xuan Elder was the first to notice, after all the strongest Heavenly King perceived the unusual situation. Other Heavenly Kings also realized one after another, taking action, with the Great Power Level Ancient Ship delivering the most fearsome attack into the spatial passage just before it closed.

That strike, any Heavenly King would have been shattered beyond saving!

The outcome is unknown, with only a mass of golden blood and a few shattered pieces of flesh and bone spilling out, accompanied by a cold and vengeful voice: "Ancient Divine Palace, if I, Ye, do not die today, I will surely ascend one day to annihilate the entire eternal force!"

The faces of the Three Great Heavenly Kings from the Ancient Divine Palace turned extremely ugly!
