Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 798 - 741: Terrifying Guardian, First Update

Too strong!

This was Ye Chen’s understanding of the guardian at the First Pass. Although he had known beforehand that the Emperor’s Trial was not going to be easy, the guardian he faced in the First Pass was unreasonably strong.

Although the guardian was only an Innate Martial Artist, Ye Chen highly suspected that the guardian, like himself, was an Invincible who had descended to the Innate level. The combat awareness was also terrifyingly impressive, so much so that even someone as strong as he could hardly gain the upper hand.

It was an unbelievable scene, yet it was indeed happening right in front of him.

At this moment, Ye Chen finally understood that although the guardian was only at the Innate Third Realm, he was probably an invincible presence among his peers, at the ultimate limit in terms of Spiritual Sense and physical body.

To break through, one had to be equally formidable.

No wonder it was the Emperor’s Trial. It seemed simple, but to challenge a guardian who was an invincible of the same level was truly more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

Naturally, this was the Emperor’s Trial, the strongest trial prepared for the Human Emperor. It wasn’t just simple; it was a kind of refinement, able to polish the challenger’s strength to be more invincibly smooth and natural.

But Ye Chen was not afraid, and his blood boiled even more. His Blood Qi seemed to be steaming up, filled with surging War Intent.

He was very powerful, with a terrifying combat consciousness. Although he was only at the Innate level, his experience and innate awareness could not be stripped away.

He executed the Reverse Space Eight Steps, advancing step by step. This movement technique was terrifyingly perfected at the Innate peak. Even at just the Innate level, he was absolutely comparable to a Demigod, almost transforming into a phantom shooting into the sky.

But the guardian also mastered a similar high-speed movement technique, not much inferior to the Reverse Space Eight Steps. He also turned into multiple phantoms rushing to the skies, continuously colliding and striking at Ye Chen.

Moreover, the guardian utilized True Yuan with unparalleled proficiency. Mere at the Innate Third Realm, yet his True Yuan surged, transforming into four war soldiers wielded in his hands. He struck swiftly, attacking Ye Chen.

Naturally, Ye Chen wouldn’t easily admit defeat. He executed the Reverse Space Eight Steps, his body transformed into flowing light, moving across the Martial Arts Arena.

Moreover, he chose to fight in close quarters, familiar with the terrifying combat techniques of close combat, using Innate True Essence as a supplement and physical attacks as the main approach, his techniques extremely fierce and dreadful.

Fingers, palms, wrists, arms, shoulders, shoulder blades, chest, thighs, knees, feet—every part of his body could become his strongest weapon, even his head could do the same.

Often, he merely used Innate True Essence to block the opponent’s Innate Condensation attacks, subsequently launching attacks with every part of his body. His techniques were fierce and deadly, truly terrifying.

Any ordinary Innate Strong People who encountered him would often be killed within a single exchange.

Indeed, Ye Chen’s terrifying combat skills had been developed to their utmost limit, making him virtually unstoppable.

Boom—

When he struck with his right elbow, it was blocked by the guardian’s left hand, but in an instant, his forearm fiercely struck with an eerie angle at the guardian’s chest. A slight sound of bone fracturing was heard, and then the guardian was sent flying backwards, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Joint Technique!

Indeed, Ye Chen’s Joint Technique was divinely skilled, demonstrating a mastery over the physical body at a profound level. In the blink of an eye, he had shifted from an evenly matched position to a slight advantage.

Ye Chen took this momentum and struck out furiously. It was difficult to deploy Divine Power in the Innate Realm, but his Innate Martial Techniques were also astonishingly impressive, operated with utmost proficiency in his hands. Furious and crazed, he continued to attack relentlessly.

Boom, boom, boom—

Despite the power of the black-clad Guardian, he was completely overpowered by Ye Chen, who could instantly widen the gap among such skilled fighters.

Especially in the hands of Ye Chen, an invincible close-range Combat Saint, it was incredibly astonishing.

He and the black-clad Guardian almost turned into two streaks of light charging at each other, continuously bombarding each other with punches and kicks that reached the pinnacle of speed for this realm. Their combat awareness also operated astonishingly as they sought to decipher each other’s battle trajectories.

However, although the Guardian was powerful, he was still just an illusion conjured by the Human Emperor Tower and lacked real autonomous consciousness; ultimately, his combat trajectory was deciphered by Ye Chen.

After the five hundred thirty-seventh round, Ye Chen fiercely struck with all his might in a burst of rage, soared into the sky, and tore the Guardian in two, his body drenched in blood and fury.

After the battle, Ye Chen also suffered severe injuries, his right chest completely perforated, blood streaming down, half of his lung ripped out, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.

This battle appeared to be just an Innate-level fight, but the process was incredibly perilous.

Because it was a battle against another invincible at the same level, had Ye Chen not been an autonomous entity and the Guardian merely an illusion of the Human Emperor Tower, facing another Guardian with autonomous consciousness would have probably taken over a thousand rounds to achieve victory.

"Challenge of the First Pass of the Emperor’s Trial successful, reward: nectar!"

The indifferent, merciless voice resounded again. A brilliantly shining light illuminated the space above, and a fist-sized, misty liquid orb descended—it was the nectar.

It must be said, the rewards for successfully passing the tests in the Emperor’s Trial were truly lavish; just at the First Pass, there was nectar, a marvelous treasure with unimaginable benefits to the physical body, capable of extremely enhancing the physique, healing injuries, and providing powerful hydration to the spirit.

It’s a treasure that wouldn’t be traded for tens of thousands in the outside world.

Unfortunately, this was only relevant for those below the Divinity Transformation Realm; for Ye Chen, it barely had any effect at all.

However, it was better than nothing; Ye Chen stored it away, and even if it was of no use to him, it could still be used in other ways.

After the battle, Ye Chen didn’t immediately rush to the next challenge but sat down to meditate, silently contemplating the many combat experiences from the previous fight.

Although it was just an Innate-level fight, it provided Ye Chen with significant insights — various aspects of strength mastery and its ingenious uses, and even a subtle understanding and control of basic strength, allowing him to benefit significantly.

After meditating for half a day, Ye Chen moved to the next challenge and pushed open the fifty-thousand-pound stone gate to enter the Second Pass.

The guardian at the second level was not the black-clad one but an exceptionally burly and mighty man resembling an iron tower, majestic and towering, his muscular strength palpable.

Innate Seventh Realm!

This was the realm of the second level’s guardian, who arguably had the strength of an invincible at the same level, fully capable of exerting power beyond his current level and even slaying those at the Innate Peak.

Ye Chen had no doubts about this.

At the same time, a strand of Origin Power, ruled by the forces of the Human Emperor Tower, fell and merged within him, instantly elevating his strength to the Innate Seventh Realm. free𝑤ebnovel.com
