The dazzling Five Emperors Shield was like a beautiful wheel of wind and fire. As it spun, it emitted gusts of hurricanes and collided head-on with the sharp Emperor Saber.
This was the first time that the most powerful divine weapon in the world had encountered such a direct challenge.
The snow-like lightning seemed to have been torn into countless fragments from the void. They danced and flickered wantonly, messing up one's line of sight. One could only see five dazzling lights wrapped around a ball of bright light. They resisted each other, creating a sound that made one's gums go soft.
The entire dark world seemed to be trembling and shaking. The void collapsed and split apart like waves, disintegrating into pieces of light.
All of the living beings in this world could feel a vast pressure crashing down from the sky like a massive boulder. It was as if two gigantic gods were battling above their heads, and no one dared to look up at them.
Boom!
The sharp and bright saber light emitted a loud and clear cry, as if it was a roaring demon. It carried an indomitable sharpness, and its entire body was burning with raging black flames. At this moment, this saber was no longer a saber, but an energy, a unique energy in the heavens and the earth!
This was an unprecedented battle!
Gods were rare in the world. They were above the world and enjoyed the world's compliments and the respect of all living creatures.
At this moment, the Five Emperors Shield, which was formed from the essence of the five gods, was indescribably powerful. It was a brand new energy that surpassed any form of energy.
Ye Chen's Emperor Saber had never been defeated before. Was it going to be defeated now?
Who else in this world could face the unprecedented Five Emperors Shield?
At the moment when the two supreme divine weapons collided, time seemed to stop in the entire world. All sound disappeared.
The sharp tip of the saber slowly pierced into the Five Emperors Shield inch by inch. It slowly pierced a crack in the middle of the rotating Five Emperors Shield.
It was just a wound, but it was enough to shock the world.
However, when the tip of the saber pierced into the Five Emperors Shield, the sharp and thin tip of the saber was suddenly distorted by a strong energy. It caved in slightly and broke immediately!
The tip of the saber was broken!
At the moment when the tip of the saber was broken, the unique divine weapon twisted violently. The sharp blade of the saber lifted the Five Emperors Shield and split it into four or five pieces.
Both sides suffered great losses!
The Emperor Godly Saber retreated as if it was sucking in water, transforming back into Ye Chen's figure. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with fear and solemnity, as well as a sharp, cold light.
Thud thud thud!
The Heavenly Darkness God stumbled back three steps. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vigorous aura instantly became slightly chaotic. However, it quickly calmed down.
His eyes were filled with shock. He didn't expect Ye Chen's strength to be so terrifying. Even the Five Thearch Shield formed by the power of the five Heavenly Gods couldn't block his saber!
What kind of saber was this?
It should be known that the combination of the five Sky Gods was not as simple as one plus one equals two. His current strength was not much weaker than the Ancient War Reverend and was close to the level of an Ancient God. However, he had still suffered a loss in the hands of Ye Chen!
Most importantly, Ye Chen had yet to unleash the Saber Spirit. Otherwise, the combination of the saber body and the Saber Spirit would truly increase its power, turning it into a super lethal weapon!
"You're definitely going to die!" The Heavenly Darkness God raised his head and glared at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked back at him coldly, and said, "The same goes for you."
There was usually only one reason why one felt that the other party was going to die, and that was because the other party had threatened them.
The Heavenly Darkness God clenched his fists and took a deep breath. Then, he wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and looked up at Ye Chen with a cold smile. "I've underestimated you before. Now, I'm going to use my true power. The tip of your saber has already been broken. Today, this place will become your saber tomb!"
"Many people have said this before." Ye Chen looked at him coldly, and said, "It's just that in the end, they all passed away first."
There were many meanings of passing away. However, passing away here was undoubtedly equivalent to dying.
The Heavenly Darkness God chuckled coldly, and then slowly said, "Do you know why Heavenly Gods are Heavenly Gods?"
Ye Chen didn't answer.
If someone asked him a question, he didn't necessarily need to answer. After all, the mouth was on him.
The Heavenly Darkness God continued, "Since ancient times, including all the Heavenly Gods that have risen and fallen, there have definitely been no less than 1,000 Heavenly Gods. This was especially true during the Primordial Era. During that era, there were still many Heavenly Gods."
Ye Chen listened quietly.
"However, there have always only been nine Heavenly Gods. Moreover, from ancient times until now, there have only been nine Heavenly Gods. No one has ever fallen, and no one has risen to replace them."
The Heavenly Darkness God's eyes were fixed on Ye Chen. "Everyone thinks that this is because they haven't cultivated enough. However, in reality, this isn't the case."
Ye Chen said, "I'm listening."
The Heavenly Darkness God frowned slightly. Then, he continued, "In history, there have been a few prodigies that have been able to touch upon this cultivation level. Alternatively, they have been able to use the power of their world and use a special method of channeling it, allowing their power to almost reach the level of Heavenly Gods.
However, no one has ever been able to become one. This is because Heavenly Gods are all born from heaven and earth. They were created by the Primordial Era to maintain the world and become the leaders of all living beings.
"Thus, we're called Heavenly Gods.
"Heavenly Gods are always different from humans.
"Humans will always be humans. They won't be able to become Heavenly Gods in their entire lives.
Not only are the identities of Heavenly Gods different, but their nature is also different. There's a divine seal in the body of every Heavenly God. There are only nine of these divine seals in the entire world, and they're all in our bodies. Even if someone can surpass us in aptitude and qualifications, they still won't be able to become a Heavenly God. Even if someone can snatch away the divine seals in our bodies, they still won't be able to become a Heavenly God.
"This is because the divine seals in our bodies are compatible with each other. Moreover, our bodies aren't the bodies of living creatures. Rather, they're true divine bodies. Only divine bodies can accept divine seals."
Ye Chen looked at him, and then suddenly said, "You're trying to say that you're the first person in history to have gathered the power of five Heavenly Gods into one body at the same time?"
"The first person in history naturally has some special abilities."
The Heavenly Darkness God looked at him, and then suddenly smiled. "Do you know why we nine Heavenly Gods died in the past?
Could it be that you truly believe that we died in order to hunt down the Great Dao? "
Ye Chen looked at him calmly, and then slowly said, "You were all killed by the Ancient War Lord."
A sharp glint flashed across the Heavenly Darkness God's eyes, and he said, "That's right!"
He looked at Ye Chen, and said, "At the very beginning, the Ancient War Lord was only a chaotic consciousness. It was the person who created this world that created it.
Its mission was to operate this world and bring life to this world. Thus, it created the nine of us and stripped away the vast majority of its power. "
Ye Chen listened quietly, and it was as if he already knew this.
"It's just that later on, it gradually developed its own unique consciousness. Look at its current appearance, it's already in the form of a human. As long as it becomes a human, it'll possess the good and evil of humans. Regardless of whether it's good or evil, they're all sins.
"A person will kill people out of kindness, and they will also save people out of viciousness. The matters of this world are difficult to explain in the first place. Regardless of whether it's good or evil, there's already a desire."
This logic seemed to be very simple.
"At this time, the Ancient God came to this world from the Ancient Realm. That was a mysterious world, and the Ancient War Lord felt threatened by the Ancient God. In fact, according to the information that we received, the Ancient God had come to replace it and become the new ruler of this world!
"Thus, it wanted to kill the nine of us and swallow our power back into its body. That way, it would have enough power to battle the Ancient God!"
The Heavenly Darkness God looked at Ye Chen with a cold smile, and said, "These are all secrets. You're only a weapon, so there's no harm in telling you. I just want to tell you that I now have the power of five Heavenly Gods in my body, and even the Ancient War Lord can't do anything to me."
Ye Chen looked at him calmly, and then suddenly said, "You should know my origins."
The Heavenly Darkness God frowned, and suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. "You mean …"
"I was able to become the number one God Tool in the world because I was originally a meteorite that had drifted here from the Ancient Realm. Then, I was obtained by the Ancient War Lord and forged into a God Tool," Ye Chen said calmly.
The Heavenly Darkness God's expression became slightly ugly.
"You were faking the breaking of the tip of your blade earlier?"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, and said, "That's right."
"You should know that I came from the Ancient Realm, and I've only been destroyed by the Ancient God once. Apart from that, there's nothing else that can break my blade." Ye Chen looked at him calmly.
The Heavenly Darkness God's expression changed, and he suddenly turned around to flee. His body was as quick as light. However, just as he moved, a blade that was as sharp as light appeared before his neck. This blade swiftly sliced open his neck.
There was no word that could describe the speed of this blade. Even light couldn't describe it!
In a flash, a large amount of blood spurted out from the Heavenly Darkness God's neck. If there was anything in this world that could slice open the neck of a Heavenly God, then it would be Ye Chen's body.
He was like a blade of punishment!
Nothing would be able to escape from him!
A five-colored glow instantly appeared around the Heavenly Darkness God's body. Like a ball of light, it enveloped his body. Then, he tore open the void and fled into the distance.
Ye Chen chuckled coldly. His body flashed, and he withdrew the blade. Then, he transformed it into a sharp blade of punishment that furiously chased after the Heavenly Darkness God.
The power of the void and the wind were automatically sliced by the blade.
Ye Chen's figure rapidly closed in on the Heavenly Darkness God.
The Heavenly Darkness God's pupils contracted, and he was so nervous that he was about to suffocate. He hadn't imagined that Ye Chen would be so powerful and unfathomable. If he obtained the assistance of the Saber Spirit, he would probably be able to battle the Ancient War Lord!
How could he be so powerful?
If he was so powerful, how could the Ancient War Lord have taken away his Saber Spirit?
At this moment, such a thought flashed through the Heavenly Darkness God's mind. The Source Power of the Dark World had already sensed everything that had happened in the Ancient War Lord's divine palace through its connection with the Ancient War Lord's body.
However, he didn't have time to think about it. The tip of the blade on his back was almost about to pierce into his flesh.
Run!
Run!
Run!
