Chapter 353: Like Cutting Down Withered Wood

When the tall elder Dao Master's envoy uttered the word "Begin," the originally solemn and silent Chaos Divine Jade Square instantly detonated!

"The Holy Son's position is mine!"

"Battle!!"

"Kill!"

Nearly a hundred overwhelmingly unmatched auras erupted like a sleeping volcano, multicolored divine light, fierce killing intent, bizarre law fluctuations, devouring all things Blood Qi… In an instant they intertwined and collided, turning into a torrent of destruction that swept the entire barrier‑shrouded square!

The battle instantly entered a white‑hot climax!

Anyone who emerged from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea of the six great trials and stands here is proud and possesses invincible conviction.

For that sole Holy Son throne, no one will willingly fall behind; even if hope is dim, they will pour all effort into a desperate gamble!

Yet, amid the fierce melee, the disparity of strength quickly became evident.

Creatures from the "Saint King Trial" and the "Divine Trial," though they rose against the heavens in their respective trials, have a foundational realm that is clearly lower than the top demons of other trials.

In this no‑frills, hard‑hitting elimination, a gap in realms usually means a comprehensive lag in overall combat power, endurance, and defense.

Not everyone can, like Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, leap across dozens of great realms to fight.

Such a world‑defying, peerless terror monster cannot be taken lightly!

Therefore, the battlefield soon clarified.

The main competition and collisions were almost all concentrated among the trial participants of the Youth Supreme Trial, the Lost Space‑time Trial, the Endless Slaughter Trial, and the Bloody Devour Trial!

The rumbling roar never ceased, and terrifying waves continuously battered the sturdy barrier.

Some manifested the vast Divine Kingdom to suppress the four directions, some transformed into blood‑thirsty beasts to tear opponents apart, some slipped into the Space-time Interlayer to launch strange ambushes, and others opened a devouring domain, swallowing opponents' flesh, blood, and mana!

In the chaotic and fierce battlefield's center, two zones displayed a bizarre calm.

It was precisely where Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen stood.

The two never initiated an attack from start to finish; they simply stood still.

Ye Wuque's black robe fluttered lightly, Feng Caichen's white garments shone like snow, like two ancient reefs amid raging seas.

Their reputations had already spread with the legend of the Youth Supreme Trial, but those present were the champions or elites from each trial, proud and would not shy away from battle.

Naturally, skeptics from other trials sought to gauge just how much weight they carried.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a booming shout.

A red‑haired, fang‑bearing creature from the Bloody Devour Trial, wrapped in a torrent of Blood Light, formed a massive snarling maw and lunged at Ye Wuque.

Within that maw a foul wind reeked, devouring laws twisted, as if even light itself could be swallowed.

Ye Wuque didn't even look at it; he casually lifted his right hand and lightly pressed against the blood‑colored giant mouth.

"Buzz—!"

The space around the red‑haired creature suddenly solidified, and time seemed to slow by thousands of times!

Its frenzied slashing turned into a turtle's crawl, its ferocious expression froze.

Then, an invisible yet vast Space-Time Power brushed gently.

"Puff!"

The red‑haired creature, blood and light together, was flung like a fly struck by an unseen giant hand, rebounding at a speed faster than its arrival, crashing hard into the distant barrier's light wall, emitting a deep thud as its Blood Light shattered and it fell unconscious.

The whole process was described lightly; Ye Wuque didn't move a single step.

Almost simultaneously on the other side, a specter‑like being from the Lost Space‑time Trial leapt and flickered through a temporal fissure, attempting to assassinate Feng Caichen from an impossible angle.

Its dagger was imbued with a ghostly blue Space‑time toxin, designed to pierce protective divine light.

Yet the dagger had just emerged from the void behind Feng Caichen, still a foot away from his back—

"Clang!"

A clear, soaring sword sound like a Dragon Chant erupted deep within every onlooker's soul!

A pure, radiant sword intent, as brilliant as the Heavenly Dao Will, flashed from Feng Caichen and vanished.

The ambusher, as if struck by lightning, was violently ripped out of the Space-time Interlayer, his dagger shattered inch by inch, he clutched his chest, his face filled with horror and pain, as if his Dao had been cut by that supreme sword intent, his cultivation plummeted, he staggered and fell, losing all combat ability.

Feng Caichen didn't even turn his head, still gazing forward, calm as clouds.

"Hiss… so strong!"

"Suppressing with a flick… not even the same tier!"

"Is this the power of the Youth Supreme Trial's champion? Terrifying!"

Some other trial Heavenly Prides, who had been itching to act, inhaled a cold breath, and the spark of challenge in their hearts was largely extinguished.

What Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen displayed was a crushing, hopelessly overwhelming strength.

The two had already been invincible during the Youth Supreme Trial, and now both had attained the legendary Human King Extreme Realm; their combat power had surged to an unfathomable level, impossible to gauge!

This Holy Son selection, for them, seemed… truly just a passing game.

The fight continued, but fewer dared to approach Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen.

Their location had become a forbidden zone on the battlefield.

As time passed, the number of people on the square rapidly dwindled.

The fierce slaughter eliminated most; in the end, fewer than ten remained standing.

Apart from Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen, the survivors were almost all the top few from the four great trials.

Ziyang Shen from the Endless Slaughter Trial, Ye Beichen from the Lost Space‑time Trial, Ao Tianyin from the Youth Supreme Trial, and two or three other ferocious characters of equally terrifying aura from different trials.

Those who remained were all true peerless demons, auras soaring, confronting each other, sparks flying whenever their gazes met.

The final showdown was about to erupt.
