The gap between them could be described as the difference between heaven and earth, something even Ye Chen couldn't change at the moment.

Fortunately, Ye Chen had the Desolate Great Halberd which, when revived, greatly increased his battle strength. However, constantly consuming the Great Power Pill previously refined for the duel with Taiyi was extremely draining on his Dao Power. He needed to be constantly on guard, consuming vast amounts of Divine Power, compounded by the revival of the Chaos Dao Technique, made it even more astonishing.

"Senluo Heaven Stele!"

Taiyi coldly declared, and suddenly, his palm changed into a terrifying stele. The body of the stele was pitch-black, inscribed with numerous Dao Runes, manifesting Roc, Phoenix, Heavenly Dragon, Qiongqi, and other Ancient Holy Spirits.

Ye Chen now understood that beings like the True Dragon, Phoenix, Roc, and other mythical Sacred Spirits originally appeared in the Chaos Sea, born from chaos as the strongest spirits, not weaker than Emperors. Hence, all ancient universes know of their existence.

Ye Chen let out a long roar, likewise unleashing the supreme Dao and law, instantly boiling over, attacking with Chaos and the Heaven and Earth Creation Fist, directly towards the Heaven Stele. Within it appeared the Left Azure Dragon, Right White Tiger, Upper Vermilion Bird, Lower Black Tortoise, and other mythical Sacred Spirits, followed by the continual emergence of Great World Heaven and Earth.

As the Heaven and Earth Creation Fist reached this point, it wasn't just evolving into a Great World Heaven and Earth, but potentially evolving into the cosmos, perhaps that is the ultimate path of the Heaven and Earth Creation Fist, or maybe not.

The Heaven and Earth Creation Fist faced the Senluo Heaven Stele head-on, birthing world after world, then clashing together violently.

Boom——

The heavens shattered, the entire ruined Emperor Realm shook, drawing the attention of all powerhouses, as this could be the battle between a future Ancient Road Dominator and the current one.

Although the Combat Saint King was no match for Taiyi, right now it was merely the difference between realms; if they were in the same Great Realm, it would be the pinnacle battle on the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Ye Chen was overwhelmingly strong, his entire Qi Mechanism soaring, rapidly ascending, suddenly unleashing the Human King Seal, embodying the figure of a proud Supreme Human Emperor overlooking the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, not just a Human King.

The Supreme Human Emperor, infinitely close throughout history to the Emperor Supreme level, possibly not weaker than such supreme beings, a true existence above all spirits.

Ye Chen transformed into the Supreme Human Emperor, imposing and unparalleled, his Qi Mechanism shaking the world, a sword appeared in his hand, inscribed with sun, moon, mountains, rivers, Heavenly Stars, was the Emperor Sword, said to sever ancient and modern, shatter the ages, and now it was simulated.

Naturally, the Emperor Sword contained the Desolate Great Halberd, making it even more terrifying.

At this moment, Ye Chen seemed to completely merge with the Desolate Great Halberd, generating a special resonance, the Emperor's Might enveloped Ye Chen entirely, multiplying his battle strength many times over, closing in on Taiyi.

Now his black hair was draped, his eyes imbued with the Chaos Sea, gazing at ancient and modern, supreme and unmatched, with a supreme presence that could make all spirits submit, striding towards Taiyi, wielding the Emperor Sword from top to bottom, one slash.

This slash could be called astonishingly brilliant across ancient, modern, and future, severing the ages, illuminating time and space, seemingly able to completely split the whole ruined Emperor Realm in two, truly boundlessly terrifying.

"What a strong sword!"

Even Overlord Taiyi's expression slightly changed, for this sword was indeed enough to astonish; even someone as strong as him couldn't underestimate it.

However, who was Taiyi? He was the Overlord of the Ultimate Ancient Road, his Treasure Body supreme, and his Daoist Law extraordinarily terrifying, wielding the Azure Sky Gourd, conjured shocking divine power, from which burst forth a brilliant radiant Immortal Light, akin to the one born from the Heaven and Earth Creation in Taichu, carrying Taichu Qi, accompanied by evolving worlds, directly facing the sword. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Boom——

The strongest strikes of both supreme powerhouses collided, within were endless radiant beams shooting out, engulfing the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, even a few peak Great Powers turned pale, as it already threatened their existence.

Both Ancient Monarchs' pupils suddenly contracted into needlepoints.

It was as if the Heavenly and Myriads of Worlds were about to collapse, this was the strongest collision, surpassing all previous ones.

Within, both were impacted, whether it was Ye Chen or Taiyi, both coughed blood, even blood splattered the void.

However, both were extraordinary, Taiyi's Treasure Body was supreme, and Ye Chen possessed the Chaos Sacred Body, both endured.

Yet Ye Chen's expression abruptly changed, wanting to continue attacking but unable, being forced out of the state of ultimate ascension, appearing exhausted.

"Damn it!"

Even Ye Chen didn't anticipate the weakness period appearing at this time, reluctantly stepping back, and immediately resorting to the Great Power Pill. However, just at that moment, Taiyi swiftly approached, dazzlingly aiming at the opportunity, unleashing an all-out attack on Ye Chen.

Boom——

As strong as Ye Chen couldn't block it in time, the opponent's speed was too fast, catching him off guard, Ye Chen's right chest was shattered, covered in blood marks, nearly exploding, dismembering.

Rumble——

Ye Chen activated the Holy Body Regeneration Technique from the Combat Saint Technique, rapidly healing internal injuries, but couldn't keep up, his recovery speed was fast, but Taiyi was faster, Daoism surging, directly blowing Ye Chen's entire body apart, blood bursting forth.

Ye Chen was blown apart!

Everyone was stunned, unable to believe that the overwhelmingly strong Combat Saint King fell to such a state, truly hard to fathom, given that Ye Chen had previously single-handedly slain eight Young Supremes, and annihilated eight Ancient Great Powers from the Forbidden Soul Hall, such dominance and arrogance, now unexpectedly blown apart, truly unforeseen.

"Let's see how you escape this time!"

Taiyi's eyes cold, charging at Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul, then suddenly shattered the Chaos Tripod, likewise, blowing apart.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, intending to rush into the Reincarnation Six-layer Coffin to avoid calamity, currently only the Reincarnation Six-layer Coffin could genuinely shield him, also preparing to burn some Power of Faith, enhance his strength to the limit, summoning the Desolate Great Halberd back.

Suddenly, all his actions halted, looking icily at Taiyi, declaring, "You will regret this."

"Regret? Ridiculous, I, Taiyi, never regret my actions."

Taiyi sneered coldly, about to strike, thoroughly seizing Ye Chen's Chaos Saint Soul, just at that moment, a beam of Immortal Light approached astonishingly fast, accompanied by unrivaled, vast waves sweeping through everything, instantly rushing forth, overwhelmingly towards Taiyi.

This strike so fearsome, even a peak Great Power would suffer severe damage enduring it.

How could Taiyi be careless, instantly turning around, striking out with a supreme counterattack, clashing with the incoming strike, the duo detonated, stirring the ruined Emperor Realm.

"Who is it!?"

Taiyi coldly shouted.

"I—" A graceful figure descended, her whole being accompanied by Supreme Level Qi Mechanism, her red lips lightly parted, voice as heavenly, yet laden with boundless killing intent that made the entire Emperor Realm desolate, "If you dare harm him even the slightest, I will ensure you die without a burial place!"
