189: Chapter 189 The Human Emperor, the Ancestor of Soldiers, and the Saint

Seven-colored streamers of light collided frantically with the mysterious yellow and blood-colored Qi above the East Sea. The roaring explosions were continuous, sending massive waves surging across the entire sea area, while the space was torn apart layer by layer.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan remained silent, simply swinging his sword relentlessly.

Holding the xuanyuan sword, he unleashed Sword Qi of mysterious yellow, one strike after another.

With the magical power of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal combined with the might of an Acquired Karma supreme treasure, every streak of Sword Qi was incredibly tyrannical. There were no flashy Moves, only pure, raw power.

High damage on the left, high damage on the right.

Every Move went straight for Zhunti's vitals.

Chiyou, however, was a completely different story, the polar opposite of Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Wielding the tiger soul with his Great Witch True Body, he sent black light streaking across the sky, cursing and spewing trash talk at Zhunti.

"Is this all a Heavenly Dao Saint can do? Fumbling around for ages, do you even deserve to be called a Saint?"

"As expected of a creature from the West; your Divine Ability and Spirit Treasure are nothing but dilapidated trash."

His blade light was ferocious and unrestrained, the blade aura shattering the incoming seven-colored branches and leaves, his roars causing the Void Realm to hum and vibrate.

Zhunti held the seven treasures tree, its myriad branches flying up and down as he desperately parried their pincer attack.

At first, his face was livid, fury burning fiercely in his chest, his eyes filled with condescending disdain.

As a Saint of the Primordial World, when had he ever been mocked so publicly by two ants, losing face like this?

"You ants who know not the height of the sky or the depth of the earth!"

Zhunti shouted coldly, unleashing his full Saint pressure, the seven treasures tree glowing with increasingly intense radiance.

"Out of respect for the Heavenly Emperor, I did not hold too much against you, yet you keep offending me with your words.

If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think this Saint is a fake?

Today, I will make you understand that a Saint's dignity cannot be desecrated!"

He exerted his full power into the seven treasures tree, intending to use the power of a Saint's Origin to crush them in one go and leave quickly.

But in the next instant, the moment the massive forces collided, the scene he anticipated—of the seven treasures tree brushing away the magical power of Human Emperor Xuanyuan and Chiyou—did not happen.

Sword Qi of mysterious yellow, blood-colored blade light, and the branches of the seven treasures tree.

The thunderous roar shook the Nine Heavens, with the three-way offensive remaining in a stalemate.

The violent aftershocks were firmly contained by an invisible barrier, unable to leak out at all.

?

"They're this strong?!"

Watching the scene before him, Zhunti's pupils constricted, the rage and arrogance on his face instantly frozen, his heart filled with disbelief.

He was a Saint!

Even if he were a fake Saint, he was still a Saint; his foundation of magical power was not something a Hunyuan Golden Immortal could compare to.

Even with the home-field advantage and the blessing of the power of Humanity, it shouldn't be like this!

"Are Hunyuan Golden Immortals really this strong? Can they actually resist the power of a Saint?"

"Is the difference between orthodoxy and heterodoxy really that vast?"

Zhunti muttered to himself, his heart churning with turbulent waves.

Logically speaking, Hunyuan Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints are on the same level, so their combat power should be roughly the same.

But... after experiencing it himself, Zhunti realized that equating Quasi-Saints with Hunyuan Golden Immortals was a gross overestimation.

Whether it was in terms of Law comprehension or combat power, Hunyuan Golden Immortals were far, far stronger.

Zhunti put away his arrogance and once again drew upon the stored power of the Heavenly Dao.

The seven-colored radiance surged several times over, releasing myriad branches that whipped towards the two in overlapping layers, attempting to force a break in the stalemate.

But the result was still in vain.

With the xuanyuan sword at full power, a dense web of Sword Qi wove into an impenetrable wall, blocking the seven treasures tree's offensive one by one and creating an opportunity for Chiyou.

On the other side, seeing this, Chiyou immediately closed in on Zhunti, his offensive becoming even more ferocious as the tiger soul slashed fiercely against Zhunti's golden body.

He didn't stop mocking him, every word stinging.

"Hahaha! Use some strength, Saint! Didn't you have a big mouth just now, saying you wanted to teach us a lesson?"

"Stop scratching us; I'm about to fall asleep hitting you!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal colliding exploded in succession.

The tiger soul blade slashed again and again against Zhunti's protective golden light, causing his golden body to tremble slightly and the surrounding space to shatter directly.

Zhunti's blood surged from the strikes, and listening to Chiyou's endless mockery, the fury in his chest grew even more intense, yet there was no longer a hint of underestimation on his face.

He knew that now was not the time for verbal sparring, so he gritted his teeth and mobilized more power of the Heavenly Dao.

Feeling the one percent of the power of the Heavenly Dao that had already slipped away, Zhunti's movements became more urgent.

"I hope to end this quickly..."

Zhunti first swatted Chiyou away, forcing him to briefly leave the battlefield.

He then drove the seven treasures tree, its myriad branches sweeping across like a storm, each branch carrying the power of a Saint, attempting to brush away Human Emperor Xuanyuan first and defeat them one by one.

Although Chiyou had been sent flying.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan remained as steady as a rock, and at this moment, he even unleashed a Karma Spirit Treasure: the South-Pointing Chariot.

With the South-Pointing Chariot above his head, it descended a screen of light, blocking countless branches and leaves outside.

"Damn it! Another Karma Spirit Treasure!"

Zhunti's brows furrowed tightly, he pondered inwardly, and then swatted Chiyou, who had just returned, away again.

Slap!

Boom!

The Saint's strike, filled with rage, forcefully shattered layers of blade aura and blood Qi, slamming fiercely onto Chiyou's burly Great Witch True Body.

A violently overwhelming force exploded instantly.

Chiyou's massive body, hundreds of zhang tall, was like a meteor struck by the heavens, flying backward violently, shattering dozens of spatial barriers along the way, with fragments of broken space flying everywhere and pitch-black spatial rifts stretching for millions of miles.

Hiss~

After a breath, Chiyou stabilized his figure, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Although he had been swatted away for the second time, this time was different; Zhunti was angry.

His Dao body trembled continuously, but Chiyou's expression became even more arrogant.

"Hahahaha!"

His rough laughter echoed through the sky, causing the turbulent Void Realm of the East Sea to hum and vibrate:

"Awesome! That's got kick! So satisfying!"

"Now that's a bit more like what a Saint should look like!"

"However, this bit of injury isn't even enough to scratch an itch! Come again! Zhunti, use more strength!"

Before his voice even faded, he exerted force with his legs.

His massive Great Witch True Body was like a great mountain, crashing towards Zhunti.

Rumble—!

The Great Witch True Body, carrying the sky-filling blood-colored Evil Qi, was like Mount Buzhou toppling from the heavens, crashing fiercely into Zhunti's protective golden body!

The ultimate Physical Body and the Saint's protective Divine Ability collided with a boom; there were no flashy spells, just a pure collision of strength.

The shockwave exploded in a ring, firmly locked within the East Sea battlefield by the invisible barrier, causing the entire Void Realm to tremble violently.

Zhunti stood his ground, witnessing Chiyou's fearless charge, a cold sneer curling the corner of his lips, his eyes filled with disdain and indifference.

His Physical Body was, after all, a Saint's body.

Although it was not at the Perfection of Hunyuan, it was not something a mere Great Witch True Body could compare to.

Moreover, he had used a protective Divine Ability.

Zhunti was certain in his heart that in the next second, Chiyou's Dao body would shatter, his flesh and blood flying everywhere.

But!

The explosive scene of absolute crushing he had anticipated did not appear!

Crack—!

A faint yet incredibly clear cracking sound rang out suddenly!

At the center point of the collision, the terrifying power rebounded in both directions!

On the surface of Chiyou's Great Witch True Body, countless blood-colored fine lines cracked open, blood seeping out slightly, his Dao body trembling violently.

And Zhunti's golden body, the Divine Ability he was so proud of, had also developed hideous golden cracks spreading across it!
