Chapter 528: Chapter 479: Reborn in Fire, The Strongest Return!

"Die!"

The Heroic Master roared, brandishing a Divine Hammer in his hand and striking down with it. It carried immense Principle Power, as if the whole heaven and earth were pressing down alongside it.

All Ye Chen did was stretch out a lean palm and lift it upwards, meeting the blow with a thunderous collision.

Boom—

Their forces clashed, and the Heroic Master, along with the Holy Hammer weapon, were hurled away, while Ye Chen staggered several steps. He seemed unsteady, shaking his head and saying, "As expected, without the Blood Essence, this Holy Body is greatly diminished, otherwise it wouldn’t have come to this."

He shook his head in slight disappointment and sighed, yet the complexion of that Heroic Master turned pale. Ye Chen was too powerful, resisting his Holy Hammer with just his Physical Body, not only unscathed but even sending him flying. It was utterly shocking and terrifying.

Is this the terror of the Eternal Forbidden Battle Body, the Combat Saint Body? Truly, it was fearsome and unrivaled.

"Fellows, please be more cautious, this Holy Corpse is indeed very powerful," the Heroic Master shouted, and he called on All Heroes to advance and assist, feeling that he was truly no match for Ye Chen otherwise.

At once, two more Heroic Masters rushed forward to aid the Canggu Saint from Canglan Sacred Land. Three Heroic Lord Level characters struck with terrifying Divine Skills, their mighty Daoist Rules flooding forth. The starry space crumbled inch by inch, and the area within a ten-mile radius was utterly engulfed by the attacks of the three Heroic Masters.

Even true Saint Lord Level Characters in the midst of it would find it absolutely unbearable.

However, amidst the Divine Light, Ye Chen’s lean Holy Body floated, all the Light of Destruction that flooded over him was unable to cause the slightest damage. Ye Chen continued to step through the Divine Light, utterly unharmed by anything.

Even though they had long known about the immortality of the Combat Saint Body, witnessing it firsthand, they could not help but feel horrified.

He was incredibly powerful, practically invulnerable to harm.

The other Heroic Masters, who initially did not want to engage, also stepped forward with grave expressions, calling upon the surging power of the Heavenly Earth Power, which rushed forward and engulfed Ye Chen.

During this time, Ye Chen’s form stumbled and retreated shakily, seeming very unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment, giving All Heroes a sigh of relief.

The Canglan Saint Master even coldly said, "So what if you are the Combat Saint King? I refuse to believe that a dead man still has any means to turn the sky upside down."

Boom—

A swath of Dao Trace Laws blasted forth and struck Ye Chen, sending him flying horizontally through the air.

There were waves of Daoist Rules surging and engulfing an expansive area.

They had only used ordinary Daoist Power and had refrained from employing Divine Skills, for fear of many times greater terror and the inadvertent damage to this Holy Corpse, potentially losing the Heritage of the Forbidden Lineage likely contained within.

Ye Chen seemed to be struggling within; his figure became unsteady, and in the end, he even sat down cross-legged, as if choosing to struggle in a seated position.

Daoist Rules like an ocean, engulfed everything.

Could it be that the so-called Combat Saint King is just so, all lies crafted by the Great Demon King Yue, truly no force to contend with?

Although she had faith in the man she held dear, even the Taichu Female Saint harbored a trace of deep concern, after all, Ye Chen was not as he had been in the past.

But the very next moment, her pretty face revealed a hint of joy. This damnable man.

At this moment, all the Heroes sensed something amiss, because no matter how he got submerged, Ye Chen’s breath was always present in their perception, never truly fading away. This made them all frown deeply. Just what was going on?

Boom, rumble—

At that moment, from within the engulfed area, suddenly there appeared a pitch-black and profound gaping void above Ye Chen, which came into view. Instantaneously, all Principle Power shattered, as if being forcefully transformed into a sky filled with Dao Essence Energy, absorbed by the black hole and converted into torrential force, continuously pouring into Ye Chen’s emaciated Holy Corpse.

This was startling because Principle Powers were extremely violent and fearsome, not mere Divine Power and filled with a rampaging nature, which wasn’t something that could be easily absorbed. But Ye Chen had the audacity to take this step, one couldn’t help but be shocked by this unnaturalness. Wasn’t he afraid that his body would simply burst from the strain?

Visibly, at that moment, Ye Chen’s withered body started to fill out, flesh growing and no longer just skin and bones. He evolved from emaciated to thin, and then gradually to a normal state.

The black hole hovered above Ye Chen, frantically swallowing the Dao Essence Energy of the heavens, unceasingly absorbing the Dao Essence Energy that filled the skies. Strand after strand of this energy, transformed into pillars of light, continued to pour into Ye Chen’s being, wildly nourishing him.

"We can’t let him continue like this, stop him quickly!"

All the Heroes’ complexions changed in an instant, each feeling an ominous premonition. If they allowed the opponent to carry on this way, unforeseeable events might occur, something they did not want to witness.

At that moment, all the Heroic Masters, including the hidden Old Immortals, were constantly striking out, unveiling their most powerful Divine Skills, all attacking in tandem, nearly comparable to their previous onslaught against the Taichu Female Saintess.

Boom—

The world shattered, space and time both collapsed, and nothing remained.

Taichu Female Saintess suddenly trembled, her body shaking, her delicate face pale and colorless, because she could no longer feel his presence, which frightened her.

Could it be that such a tragic ending was about to happen just upon reunion?

"Have we finally killed him?"

The various Heroes let out a sigh of relief, and many others sighed with regret, including nearly all the young and mighty ones. Because the Combat Saint King, who had just been resurrected not long ago, had ended like this?

He was supposed to have made a heaven-defying return.

At this time, however, Ye Gucheng showed a hint of a smile as if he was talking to himself, "Truly worthy of being the Combat Saint King..."

Those close to him were all startled, initially a bit confused, but then they all suddenly woke up, turning their gaze towards the desolated area.

In an instant, a supremely powerful aura, previously nonexistent, surged into being from the once settled void, sweeping across the Starry Sky Land.

"Thank you all for striking. You have allowed me to be reborn from the ashes!"

A grand voice sounded.

The void tore apart, and a tall figure slowly emerged from within, standing before the eyes of the world.

His black hair danced wildly, he stood tall and majestic, like a young Divine Sovereign descending to the mortal realm, invincible in all the lands, looking down upon the Heroes. "Just now, you all took your turns. Now, it seems it’s my turn for Reincarnation."

The casual words resounded instantaneously across the heavens, yet made every Heroic Master turn pale with astonishment.
