The ancient monk Liu Yun, confident in his immortal golden body, was overwhelmed by Ye Xuan's unexpected strength. Ye Xuan defeated Liu Yun and then turned his attention to the infamous Blood Slaughter True Person. Meanwhile, others realized Ye Xuan's attacks were not landing effectively, puzzling them about the source of his inexplicable resilience.

Seeing True Person Blood Slaughter making his escape, Ye Xuan didn't give chase with full force. Instead, his gaze shifted towards Shi Pojun, who stood nearby.

He was an ancestor from the Qingtian Divine Sect in the Heavenly State.

His power was formidable, far beyond that of an ordinary Great Saint.

This much Ye Xuan could tell with a single glance.

But even if you've arrived here and aren't an ordinary Great Saint, what use is it? Your strength is ultimately capped at that of an Invincible Great Sage.

This is Ye Xuan's most significant advantage.

If all of them could demonstrate their true capabilities, Ye Xuan would have no chance to fight.

Once the main body arrives, the Emperor Soul will act.

They will all be annihilated.

Shi Pojun didn't retreat upon seeing this. With a composed expression, he looked directly at Ye Xuan.

Boom!

Without any discernible movement from Shi Pojun, an immense hand erupted from beneath Ye Xuan's feet, reaching out to seize him.

Ye Xuan's form blurred, easily evading the grasp. He used this moment to close the distance to Shi Pojun.

Shi Pojun remained unfazed, employing various Divine Skills and Illusions to fend off Ye Xuan, deliberately avoiding any close-quarters combat.

While Shi Pojun maintained this defensive stance, the others also engaged, initiating a series of skirmishes.

At this juncture, a silent agreement seemed to form among them to wear down Ye Xuan's mana.

The moment Ye Xuan's mana reserves were depleted, their greatest opportunity would arise.

After all, with so many of them fighting, exhausting him would undoubtedly lead to their triumph; this was an undeniable truth.

Furthermore, they genuinely possessed no means to truly defeat Ye Xuan.

Should they resort to using Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers?

If such an attempt were made, figures like Hong Ba, Mo Qiankun, and Tong Wuji would undoubtedly intervene immediately.

So many of you ganging up, and you still intend to wield Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers? What a jest.

This is a fact that Chu Old Demon and the others are acutely aware of; it's an unspoken boundary. Should they cross it, they wouldn't be facing solely Ye Xuan.

Moreover, if chaos erupted, the situation would spiral beyond their control, no longer within their grasp.

The stakes were too high, so no one dared to act recklessly.

Consequently, the battlefield transformed into a theater where everyone unleashed a barrage of Divine Skills and Illusions in a probing engagement with Ye Xuan.

It felt akin to a game of 'Eagles Catching Chicks'.

"These fellows intend to drain my mana?"

Ye Xuan recognized their strategy and found it rather amusing.

Under typical circumstances, a battle of this intensity would indeed place a considerable strain on his Myriad Forms Body. A minor lapse could deplete his mana entirely, forcing him to rely on his Void Immortal Body.

However, those were normal circumstances, and this situation was different. The essence of the Tree God had been fully transferred to Ye Xuan.

His mana depletion would be instantly replenished.

Therefore, their scheme was doomed to failure.

Yet, prolonging this stalemate served no purpose.

Ye Xuan craved a direct confrontation, not this tedious game of cat and mouse.

Observing their hesitation to engage him directly, he resolved to alter his approach.

Ye Xuan halted his movement and crouched, placing his hand upon the ground of the battlefield.

"Inch World."

Ye Xuan whispered softly.

Instantly, an invisible force permeated the entire ancient battlefield.

Then, Ye Xuan took a step forward.

In a flash, he materialized before True Person Blood Slaughter, raising his hand in a strike that sent the latter hurtling away, spitting blood.

With another flicker, he appeared before the ancestor Wuxiangzi of the Yushan Ancient Sect.

Wuxiangzi was truly a formless entity, his face a mere blur. It was difficult to ascertain if he was even human.

Ye Xuan executed a sweeping kick.

Wuxiangzi swung his horsetail whisk, ensnaring Ye Xuan's right leg and yanking forcefully, attempting to slam Ye Xuan to the ground.

However, Wuxiangzi had miscalculated.

The horsetail whisk passed directly through Ye Xuan's right leg as if piercing empty air.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan's kick connected solidly with Wuxiangzi's indistinct face!

Boom!

Wuxiangzi's form shot away like a cannonball, crashing into the battlefield.

It was clear that Ye Xuan's new strategy was proving effective.

Once Inch World was activated, Ye Xuan could instantly traverse to any point on the ancient battlefield, bypassing any power-based interference.

The Great Sage Realm, known for its 'Two Realms Seamless' ability, allows one to traverse boundaries.

However, executing this in the heat of battle is exceedingly difficult.

The enemy would not simply stand by and watch you depart. Once their power disrupts the void, no one can manage the ensuing chaos.

A single misstep could lead to being swallowed by chaotic void currents, lost at the void's edge, never to return.

Therefore, in combat, employing instantaneous teleportation presents an opportunity for the opponent.

Yet, with Ye Xuan's Inch World, this feat became effortlessly achievable.

Even when enveloped by the potent World Power that alters the Void Law, escape remains unavoidable.

"This guy!"

Witnessing Ye Xuan's successive victories over several opponents, Chu Old Demon and the others were taken aback.

"Enough, we cannot afford further delays, lest unforeseen circumstances arise!"

Seeing this, Chu Old Demon resolved to unleash his full power, discarding all reservations.

"Blood Demon Great Method!"

Chu Old Demon roared internally, his cultivation technique churning like a tempestuous vortex.

In an instant, a terrifying Blood Qi erupted around Chu Old Demon, coalescing into monstrous, scarlet figures.

"Slay!"

With a bellow, Chu Old Demon thrust out a massive hand.

The scarlet monstrosities, emitting unearthly screeches, surged towards Ye Xuan.

Within the void, they appeared as searing streaks of blood-colored Divine Light.

"Cease your restraint," Chu Old Demon commanded once more, gesturing for the others to join the assault.

"Enough."

Upon witnessing this, Shi Pojun commenced his own assault. An immense, mysterious light radiated from his being, causing the very fabric of the ancient battlefield’s void to quiver.

Shi Pojun's gaze was piercing as he declared with grim finality, "With one hand, I shall support the heavens!"

Rumble————

The entirety of the ancient battlefield became engulfed by an immeasurably vast hand descending with crushing force.

Beneath its dominion, all Laws were forcibly compressed.

Everything converged directly above Ye Xuan!

It was akin to a world-ending Heavenly Tribulation!

"Impatient at last?"

Ye Xuan's lips curved into a grin upon witnessing the onslaught.

At this juncture, he deliberately suppressed the energies of his Inch World and Void Immortal Body.

Concurrently, Origin Power enveloped him, knitting together into an unassuming, dark membrane.

Ye Xuan intended to endure the most formidable assaults from the Invincible Great Sages and Supreme Great Sages!

"Let me ascertain this power's ultimate limit."

Ye Xuan's left eye pulsed with profound depth, while his right eye blazed with ferocity. He grinned, resembling a supreme Demon King.

Then, under the bewildered stares of everyone present, Ye Xuan remained remarkably composed, tilting his head back, hands tucked into his pockets, a smile upon his face.

He stood as if awaiting the inevitable arrival of oblivion.

"What exactly is this fellow contemplating?"

That spectacle instilled an inexplicable sense of disquiet within Chu Old Demon.

At this critical juncture, every combatant was unleashing their full, unbridled might, casting aside all pretense of strategy or mutual calculation.

Their collective resolve was solely focused on confronting Ye Xuan.

In the face of such overwhelming opposition, Ye Xuan had chosen this peculiar course of action?
