As the prodigies awakened and were expelled from the Myriad Dao Source Pool, they learned that one day inside had equaled a month outside and many advanced in cultivation. Mu Wanling and seven other top competitors broke through, leaving only Xie Purou and Youruo immersed in the pool.

The clash frightened beings across the universe and drew a growing group of Saint Emperors toward the battle, while the Nether Blood Saint Emperor seethed at Ye Chen’s praise.

• The Nether Blood Saint Emperor unleashed his Blood Baleful Intent Demonic Pupil, and Ye Chen answered with the Hundun Immortal Pupil.

Ye Chen and Nether Blood Saint Emperor traded powerful techniques before Nether Blood Saint Emperor escalated the fight with his Saint Emperor Weapons, only for Ye Chen to counter with the Hundun Immortal Bell and a deadly immortal sword. Ye Chen launched his first full offensive, sending tens of millions of streams of Sword Qi at Nether Blood Saint Emperor, who realized he had underestimated him.

• Ye Chen relentlessly attacked the Nether Blood Saint Emperor with the Immortal-Slaying Sword, forcing him onto the defensive despite his saber and square-bladed halberd.
• The Burning Bone Saint Emperor watched in disbelief as dozens of Rogue Cultivator Saint Emperors arrived and gathered to observe the battle.
• The watching experts realized the Immortal-Slaying Sword, not the Nether Blood Saint Emperor, was the source of the overwhelming killing aura, and they failed to recognize Ye Chen.
• The Nether Blood Saint Emperor abandoned his saber at first and fought with his square-bladed halberd alone, but Ye Chen continued beating him back.
• The Nether Blood Saint Emperor declared that Ye Chen would have to withstand his final move before he admitted defeat, then took up both weapons and unleashed a terrifying presence.
