Chapter 2455: Gold Medal Support

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The dim Zangshen Ancient Ground was thrown into complete chaos, enveloped by thunderous roars.

On the outskirts, sinister evil spirits with grotesque faces swarmed like a dark tide, covering the sky. The various Emperors' Sons from the heavens, the Forbidden Zone Young Emperors, and the treasure-seeking cultivators joined forces in an intense battle.

Deeper in the ancient ground, the fight was equally devastating, shaking the heavens and earth.

From afar, the battle scene was truly harrowing—silent extinction immortal light streaked across, countless terrifying visions materialized, the universe was overturned, yin and yang were reversed, all reflecting the light of doomsday.

Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang were incredibly powerful, with Tianxu Dizi's assistance, they forced the Mysterious Sacred Body to suffer shattered blood and bones. Most importantly, their coordination was flawless, with no pauses, giving the Mysterious Sacred Body no chance to catch its breath. Imperial Dao immortal techniques were unleashed relentlessly, each strike drawing blood.

The Mysterious Sacred Body was in full retreat, unable to withstand the assault. Overwhelming rage engulfed its mind, driving it into a frenzied madness like a lunatic, its world-shaking attacks losing their potency.

The Zhu Xian Jian buzzed, pulling it back to sobriety, enveloped in multicolored immortal light.

This time, the rage of the Mysterious Sacred Body subsided slightly, and it regained clear senses. It realized that it wasn't that Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang were overwhelmingly strong, but their teamwork was impeccable.

Understanding this, its face twisted into a grotesque expression, its eyes gleaming with savage ferocity. It changed its strategy, ignoring Ye Chen and enduring heavy wounds to target Ji Ningshuang, aiming to defeat them one by one—a principle it still grasped.

Unfortunately, it overlooked one person: Tianxu Dizi.

This Young Emperor, though not as formidable as Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang, was no mere decoration. He had a clear self-awareness, recognizing his value lay not in direct attacks, but in support, assisting Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang.

In essence, he was there to disrupt and create opportunities for his teammates.

The results proved his approach was masterful. Whenever Ye Chen was about to take a severe hit, Tianxu Dizi's Imperial Dao immortal techniques would manifest to interfere with the Mysterious Sacred Body. Whenever Ji Ningshuang was on the verge of bleeding out, his sealing secret arts would surge forth, buying time.

In short, every time the Mysterious Sacred Body built up its devastating power, this troublemaker would step in, not to deal major damage, but to sow chaos. He struck and retreated swiftly, his movements elusive and phantom-like, perfecting the art of disruption.

Ah!

This outstanding performance infuriated the Mysterious Sacred Body to the point of gritting its teeth.

Not to exaggerate, his maneuvers left the Mysterious Sacred Body tempted to abandon Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang and turn to crush him instead. You little pest, thinking you're so clever!

As a Forbidden Zone Young Emperor, he excelled where it counted—ineffective in direct combat, but a master at causing mayhem.

It was fortunate the Forbidden Zone Heavenly King wasn't present; otherwise, who knows what he'd think.

This first Young Emperor of the Forbidden Zone, in ancient times, was destined to become an emperor. In battles back then, he was always the main attacker, while the other four Young Emperors played supporting roles. How glorious he was, his aura dazzling.

Who would have thought that after being sealed for eons and then released, he'd be reduced to a support role?

It wasn't that he lacked strength; it was just that Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang were extraordinarily monstrous. This was no longer his era—later generations of prodigies were even more astonishing. He had to accept it, whether he believed it or not.

Boom! Rumbling!

The world was thrown into disarray by the battle. The three fought from the eastern skies to the southern heavens, then from the southern heavens to the western vastness, and from the western vastness to the northern void. Everywhere they passed, mountains collapsed and rivers dried up.

Each location was stained with fresh blood.

Clearly, the Mysterious Sacred Body was at a disadvantage, its sacred body exploding, its sacred bones dyed with brilliant golden blood, wrapped in multicolored immortal light, scattering across the sky and turning to ash upon hitting the ground.

In contrast, the three Young Emperors grew fiercer with each exchange. Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang led the assaults, their combination flawless, their strengths evenly matched and coordination seamless.

As for Tianxu Dizi, he stayed by their side throughout.

This golden assistant became more in sync as the fight went on, even surprising himself with how adept he was at support. Paired with the two Young Emperors, his potential was limitless.

Ah!

The Mysterious Sacred Body's roar echoed through the dark night, its power reaching its peak, yet its aura waned. Its once unyielding Dao heart was gradually eroding.

Watching it get hammered, the Ming Emperor's expression was profoundly meaningful.

From the start in this ancient ground, the Mysterious Sacred Body had dominated, beating Ye Chen and Tianxu Dizi into submission. Then Ye Chen demonized, leaving it doubting life. Next, it fell into weakness and was brutally abused by Ye Chen and the others. When the Zhu Xian Jian arrived to aid, it rose again, unbeatable.

Now, the tide had turned once more, and it was the one in defeat.

Over these days, the Mysterious Sacred Body's experiences were a rollercoaster of highs and lows, swinging between heaven and hell. Anyone with a fragile mind couldn't endure it.

The Ming Emperor observed this, and so did the Dao Ancestor, both sighing with emotion.

Beside him, the Chaos Body was more worried. The Mysterious Sacred Body's defeat was evident, but who could guarantee it wouldn't unlock its bloodline limits again? If that happened, even with Ye Chen and the others teaming up, they might not stand a chance—Tianxu Dizi was still a step short.

Beyond that, there was the Zhu Xian Jian. He knew how strange that sword was—at its peak, it could instantly kill a great emperor. Even diminished, it remained terrifying.

Pfft!

As he watched, the Mysterious Sacred Body fell again, struck by Ye Chen's punch and Ji Ningshuang's sword, plummeting from the vast void. Its body was riddled with bloody gashes, no longer recognizable, and in its fall, the immortal light around it faded significantly, even the Zhu Xian Jian's glow dimmed.

Yet, Tianxu Dizi followed up from across the void with another palm strike.

There it went—the Mysterious Sacred Body nearly exploded, crashing into a majestic mountain peak and shattering it completely. The flying debris couldn't withstand the pressure, blasting apart piece by piece.

"I refuse to believe it."

Accompanied by a roar, the Mysterious Sacred Body's eyes turned blood-red as it shot back into the sky. How could it accept defeat? It felt it could still turn things around, perhaps even snatch victory if it played its cards right.

Sadly, its hopes were too idealistic.

"Get down for me."

The Chaos Great Cauldron manifested in the sky, bellowing as it grew enormous and mountain-like, overflowing with strands of chaos energy that evolved into visions. Ancient heavenly characters were etched upon it, weaving divine Dao sounds.

Bang!

The cauldron trembled, collapsing the sky and sending the Mysterious Sacred Body staggering.

Before it could steady itself, the three volumes of the Yaochi's Wordless Heavenly Books appeared in the void. Nameless and characterless, they embodied the essence of all things, carrying the intent of the universe. As their pages flipped, majestic Dao essence poured down, pulverizing the heavens and earth.

Pfft!

The Mysterious Sacred Body spat blood, its already blood-soaked sacred body cracking open once more, fresh blood spraying like rain across the void, each drop painfully vivid.

Buzz! Buzz!

The Zhu Xian Jian vibrated, its multicolored immortal light reviving to help it escape.

But the pressure from the Chaos Great Cauldron and the Wordless Heavenly Books was overwhelming. In their weakened states, neither the sword nor the Mysterious Sacred Body could defy it, pinned in place.

Seal!

The golden assistant struck, appearing like a phantom and layering pre-set seals onto the Mysterious Sacred Body—one after another, thousands in total, all for this moment.

Thus, the once formidable Mysterious Sacred Body was suppressed again.

Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang descended from the air. Though victorious, they were injured, their faces pale and mouths bleeding continuously, the wounds still laced with the Zhu Xian Jian's killing intent.

They had come for the Zhu Xian Jian. Glancing at it now, they saw it as far more dangerous than the Mysterious Sacred Body. Even two fully realized sacred bodies couldn't contain it, proving everything.

The Zhu Xian Jian hummed and broke free from the Mysterious Sacred Body, shooting off as a streak of multicolored immortal light into the vast distance, abandoning its ally to flee alone.

"Where are you going?"

Tianxu Dizi snorted coldly and reached out to grab it, with Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang joining in, but they couldn't stop it. The sword's escape ability was unparalleled, shattering the void as it vanished.

It must have felt deeply regretful.

Once again, it had failed. It could have won, but the Mysterious Sacred Body was too arrogant. If it had attacked while Ye Chen and the others were healing, things wouldn't have ended this badly. It had traveled far to aid in battle, yet its partner was so unreliable—a sacred body infinitely close to completion, suppressed by three minor quasi-emperors. Such incompetence left it with no face to remain in the world.
