"Consider this your punishment, don't overestimate your strength, if you anger me, I dare to kill an Ancient Monarch!"

Ye Chen made the most terrifying declaration, shaking the stars, echoing through the Emperor Realm, making many strong leaders gasp, even the other two Ancient Monarchs were silent for a moment.

Because this Combat Saint King is truly dominant, and he has the capital to look down on everything, currently possessing absolutely dominant level battle power on the Ancient Road, a Supreme Emperor Weapon-level Desolate Great Halberd, he need not fear even an Ancient Monarch and can fight.

Taiyi roared in anger, his voice echoing across the stars, shaking the Heavenly Stars, nearly causing them to fall, many cultivators were so shocked by the roar that blood qi surged and bones resounded, all extremely terrified.

However, Taiyi stood in the distance, blood light returning, the Treasure Body quickly restructuring, looking gloomily at this place, filled with killing intent, wanting to return and fight again to wash away the shame.

As an Ancient Road Dominator, he naturally has a sufficient world-shocking backup plan, even if Ye Chen has a Supreme Emperor Weapon, he is not afraid, confident he can survive, and even drag the Combat Saint King into serious injury together.

But such backup plan he does not want to reveal too soon, it is a future last resort for contending in the final "Ultimate," so he can only look gloomily from afar, snort coldly: "Combat Saint King, this time you're formidable enough, but don't think you're truly invincible, if we meet in the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Road someday, I will show you my true power, compared to which what you see now is insignificant."

Once the words fell, Taiyi turned and rushed into the stars, heading to the deepest realm.

The world was astonished, everyone was shocked, could this really be all Taiyi's power previously displayed?

"Overlord Taiyi, rumored to practice the legendary Reincarnation Supreme Technique, splits into Three Lives of past, present, and future, the one coming now is likely just one of those lives, not the complete Three Lives." Emperor Yan spoke, even he bore a kind of seriousness.

The strong leaders of the heavens gasped upon hearing this, and learned from Snow Mist Monarch's subsequent explanation that Reincarnation Three Lives Body splits oneself into three forms, once united, will exhibit truly world-shocking power.

Now the display by Overlord Taiyi could not be the complete Three Lives Body, just one of them, the other two lives are still in the depths of the Ultimate Ancient Road.

Meaning even the power shown before is not the full extent of Taiyi's power, just a portion, unimaginable how world-shocking it would be if the true Three Lives Body united.

"Every Ultimate Ancient Road Dominator is supremely world-shocking, even the true Ancient Monarchs find it difficult to slay them, perhaps in some respects, they wield as much power as to battle an Ancient Monarch, do not underestimate them."

Among them, Snow Mist Monarch spoke thus, filled with emotion, a confirmation of the Ultimate Ancient Road Dominator, and it made hearts sink.

Ultimate Ancient Road Dominators are truly this terrifying, able to battle an Ancient Monarch.

They looked towards the Goddess, with unspeakable gravity.

It made countless Ancient Road testers feel heavy, even the Young Supremes were no exception, as if weighed down by a million mountains, struggling to breathe.

These Ultimate Ancient Road Dominators are supremely matchless, if met someday, how could anyone contend?

Yet, Ye Chen held the Desolate Great Halberd, from the top of the skull rose a brilliant golden Divine Light Column, reaching the deepest depths of the stars, surging through ten directions, gently smiled: "What of Ancient Road Dominators? If someday we meet and are enemies, I am invincible!"

Boom——

Divine Power like a prison, will like a world great!

This is the Combat Saint King, causing everyone to pay attention, countless Ancient Road testers looking up to the future Ancient Road Dominator.

After one battle, two Ultimate Ancient Road Dominators' rivalry destined to stir the great world, for this was an open rivalry among Ancient Road Dominators, revealing their true might.

Naturally, the Combat Saint King's fame would thus spread quickly across the entire Ultimate Ancient Road, letting everyone know of his world-shocking return.

Moreover, he defeated Overlord Taiyi, even if this was just one of Taiyi's lives, once spread, his fame destined to be radiant many times over, placed among the strong and powerful contenders for the future contending for the final "Ultimate."

Buzz——

The Desolate Great Halberd quickly dimmed, at the same time Ye Chen's Qi Mechanism rapidly receded, returning to the Heavenly King Peak realm, and continued to fall, swiftly plummeting to the Seventh Layer Heaven, continuing to decline, dropping to the Fifth Layer Heaven, but still not stopping, finally settling in the Heavenly King Triple Heaven realm.

To this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is the price of temporarily boosting cultivation.

Previously being supreme, was actually Ye Chen and the Divine Land within the Desolate Great Halberd establishing a special pact, but not everyone can do this, even the Combat Saint cannot, only someone like Ye Chen who once inherited the Combat Saint Soul from Wuxiang King can do this, forming a pact with the Warrior God within the Wuxiang King's weapon, exchanging for supreme power.

Naturally, there exists corresponding causality in this world, even Ye Chen cannot receive infinite power for free, needing to pay a sufficient price, within moments of extreme boost, most of Ye Chen's Divine Power was drawn out, taking at least three months to recover, not a small price.

Thus, exchanged with the Desolate Great Halberd for a temporary extreme boost, reaching the level comparable to the Goddess and Taiyi's supreme domain.

In fact, if Ye Chen wished, he could even through the pact inherit all of the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land's power completely, at least reaching the level comparable to the Emperor Domain, invincible among the heavens.

However, the price paid would be his life, an equal exchange, and only a moment's time.

Only by paying, can one reap rewards, the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land cannot completely aid Ye Chen.

Though now fallen to the Heavenly King Triple Heaven, Ye Chen felt no tension, on the contrary, he turned to look at Ye Chen in the far sky, smiled gently, opened arms: "Jingruo—"

Whoosh—

Under the gaze of all, the Goddess descended from the skies, even disregarding countless shocked gazes, her graceful unmatched silhouette directly diving into Ye Chen's embrace, her slender arms tightly wrapped around the majestic waist, her absolutely beautiful enchanting face buried in his broad chest, listening to the heartbeat of her beloved.

Faintly, she seemed to hear a voice somewhat reproachful yet excited: "Moon, you've finally returned, I've waited for you for so long."

"I've returned!"

Ye Chen also tightly embraced the Goddess, gently lifting that startlingly beautiful tear-stained face, watching the always strong Goddess at this moment, her eyes brimming with tears, myriad emotions emerging—excitation, delight, disbelief, cautiousness... very complex, yet joy surpassed all.

"I'm sorry to put you through hardship."

"Moon, don't leave again, alright?"

"I'll never leave!"

Ye Chen softly replied, the words whispering in each other's ears, a gentle sentence, expressing countless emotions.
