# Chapter 1345: Who Dares to Vie for Supremacy

The ancient road was fiercely competitive, with countless outstanding talents falling and being buried in foreign lands. Yet who would look back for them, pause, or cast a glance? A pile of white bones would not attract attention.

This was a blood-stained path, destined to be cruel, accompanied by the loneliness of the strong, ultimately achieving only one person's glory.

Over so many years, people had long grown accustomed to one heroic figure after another falling in bloodshed. Only the battle between the Sacred Body and the Overlord Body was so different, drawing the attention of all cities and gathering towering storms.

This was a battle of famous figures, worthy of the attention of all experts on the entire Stellar Ancient Path!

"What? The Peerless Overlord is injured? This is the first time in decades he has suffered severe wounds. It's... somewhat unbelievable."

"This is truly shocking. The young supreme with the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline flowing within him actually... nearly fell. It's hard to believe."

Ahead, there was clamor. Mountains collapsed, and the ancient tomb emitted strands of Imperial might. The Overlord flew out horizontally, his entire body covered in purple blood, divine radiance brilliant, wounds densely packed. He was nearly disintegrating.

No one had expected that the young supreme of the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline would be wounded on this ancient continent floating in the universe. Even his immortal physique had nearly shattered into pieces.

A mysterious powerful figure inside the ancient tomb had issued a challenge. The Heaven-Dominating Overlord Body appeared, attempting to breach the entrance of the ancient Great Emperor's tomb to seize the heaven-defying fortune. But the array patterns inside revived, nearly killing him.

Everyone witnessed this scene, their hearts pounding violently. After so many years, this was the first time the Overlord had been wounded. On the ancient road, he had always been invincible.

Boom!

The Imperial might was astonishing. It was a surging chaos mist, rumbling like the Milky Way cascading down from the Nine Heavens, drowning the tomb entrance.

That was how the Peerless Overlord was sent flying. He had only been slightly grazed by the edge of an Imperial pattern, yet this was the result. One could imagine the terror within.

"The Peerless Overlord was too arrogant. Seeing that someone could enter the Imperial tomb, he believed himself invincible among the younger generation, the strongest supreme. So he directly forced his way in, only to encounter disaster."

Everyone's hearts trembled. It wasn't that the Heaven-Dominating Overlord Body was weak, but that the dignity of an ancient Great Emperor could not be profaned. Attacking such a tomb and suffering severe wounds was nothing strange.

Purple Overlord blood boiled, surging into the heavens. The Overlord healed on the spot, possessing heaven-defying divine arts. The blood on his body flowed backward, wounds healed instantly, and his essence, energy, and spirit rapidly recovered.

Suffering such severe injuries yet being able to recover so quickly shocked everyone.

"That guy inside the tomb is really not easy to deal with. He absolutely triggered the Imperial patterns at the entrance. Otherwise, why would nothing happen to us after attacking for so long?"

"Absolutely. This can't be an honest person. Just look at how he wanted to take us as disciples—you can tell his face is thick without limit."

The five experts discussed among themselves. They had witnessed everything firsthand and knew more details than others.

This ancient continent had been floating in the universe for who knows how many years, suspected to be the tomb of an ancient Great Emperor. The Overlord's injury was nothing shameful.

Because in recent years, not only a human Great Sage but also two ancient evil gods from foreign races and a Sacred Spirit had all fallen on similar continents.

This further highlighted the extraordinary nature of the Heaven-Dominating Overlord Blood, revered as one of the few supreme-level figures among the younger generation. Truly heaven-defying!

The vast chaos mist receded, and the ancient Great Emperor's aura withdrew. The Overlord sat cross-legged atop a stretch of ancient peaks, his entire body submerged in purple energy. He appeared to have repaired his injured body but did not rise.

Some speculated that he might have damaged his origin.

Suddenly, a terrifying figure flew across the sky, so fast that human eyes could not track his trajectory. Time seemed to flow backward, and space twisted.

"Boom!"

This person was a blur, charging to the Overlord's front. He threw a punch, powerful to the extreme. The surrounding heavens were shattered by him, and the River of Time seemed to reverse!

The Overlord's eyes snapped open, shooting out two purple divine lightning bolts that tore through the void. He threw a punch to counter the attacker, and the entire great sky was obliterated.

There, a blinding light erupted, as if a sun had exploded, spreading into the universe and sweeping across this domain. It was extremely dazzling and awe-inspiring.

Everyone was stunned. This person was too powerful, daring to attack the Overlord while he was healing. He must be one of the few young supremes. Otherwise, who would dare to act?

Because even if the Heaven-Dominating Overlord Body was injured, it was not something ordinary people could contend with. Only those few had the chance.

There, the battle was wild and unmatched, as if two ancient divine spirits were fighting. The brilliant light completely drowned the heavens. Nothing could be seen, only vast Dao waves.

"Ah..."

A Saint King screamed. He hadn't retreated in time and was struck by the blazing light waves, directly cut in two. He fell from the high sky, blood staining the air.

In the distance, everyone's hair stood on end. What level of combat power was this?

The mysterious figure's combat power was unmatched, and the Peerless Overlord was also divinely brave. This was merely the aftermath of their battle, yet it possessed such terrifying force. It could sweep an entire domain!

There, a peerless overlord aura spread, as if cutting down all living beings, demanding the worship of myriad spirits. It made people's hearts tremble.

"Pretending. You weren't injured." A divine voice came, then instantly faded, merging into the dark universe and breaking through the sky.

Rumble!

The Overlord threw a punch in pursuit. His purple battle body tore through the void. Vast fluctuations rushed into the cold universe, making the star domain tremble. Terrifying and overwhelming, he chased after him.

Everyone was shocked. That person was definitely one of the young supremes. Otherwise, how could he possess such horrifying strength? He had stunned everyone.

"Who is he? Too powerful. He wanted to use this opportunity to kill the Overlord!"

"Is it the Great Demon God Guhuang who sweeps through the world, or Di Tian who dominates the path ahead?!"

This made everyone tremble. The two had left, but the aftermath of the battle still surged. They felt they were far from comparable. Many people's bodies convulsed under this overwhelming divine might.

The few young supremes had never engaged in life-or-death battles. If they couldn't kill with one strike, they generally wouldn't act. But someone had finally been unable to hold back.

What made people's hearts pound violently was that the Overlord had never been injured at all. This was all a disguise. He had guessed someone would attack him and wanted to see who bore him enmity.

Rumble!

Between heaven and earth, purple energy surged to the sky. The Overlord stood there, black hair flowing, his eyes flashing purple lightning like an ancient god. He possessed an aura of swallowing mountains and rivers, dominating the eight desolates, with only himself as supreme.

He stepped down from the starry sky like a heavenly god descending, once again landing on this continent.

The Peerless Overlord had always been invincible among the trial takers, whether in the past or the present. No one had ever been able to wound him.

Purple energy surged around him, strands cascading down like great waterfalls, sweeping across the vast earth and surging through the entire heavens. It seemed nothing in this world could shake him. He looked down on the world, dominating the eight desolates.

He was not wounded. The disguise was intentional. When this shocking truth was revealed, it served as the ultimate deterrent to the heroes on this continent.

Had the Overlord wanted to eliminate an opponent just now? Unfortunately, he hadn't succeeded.

Who could vie for supremacy on the Stellar Ancient Path? People's fear of him deepened. This person with the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline flowing within him was too divinely brave to be challenged.

This time, he turned around and charged again at the Imperial tomb entrance, carefully observing, still preparing to attack, to open it and seize the heaven-defying fortune.

"The Overlord is too powerful. Such a performance has already cut off the hopes of others. Only the few young supremes can contend with him and continue the struggle."

"When will these few have a real battle?"

"Soon. I think after the Overlord's battle with the Sacred Body concludes, he will go all out, distinguishing victory and defeat among the young supremes, competing for the Imperial path."

Before the Imperial tomb, things gradually calmed down. Many cultivators on the ancient road retreated, not daring to disturb the Overlord. His peerless dominance had just stunned everyone.

"Hey, you purple-blooded monster outside, are you tired of living? Why do you keep wandering in front of me? If you have the guts, come in and fight me. Otherwise, kneel and withdraw immediately!"

When the Overlord was alone, swallowing mountains and rivers, dominating this continent, the arrogant voice from earlier sounded again from deep within the ancient tomb, completely disregarding the Heaven-Dominating Overlord Blood.

Everyone was speechless. This guy was truly a divine being.

Only the five experts from earlier muttered to themselves, secretly despising this fellow. He was clearly trapped inside, unable to get out, waiting for others to open it, yet he put on such an attitude.

"Does this guy have a natural sense of superiority? Has he been hypnotizing himself all along, believing he's invincible, that he's the supreme?"

"No, this person is most likely a close friend of the Sacred Body. He wants to anger the Overlord, keep him here, and buy time for the Sacred Body on the Burial Emperor Star."

After reaching this conclusion, the five experts actually developed some respect for this thick-skinned person.

But when they thought about how this guy had treated them so shamelessly and even gnawed on coffin boards, this slightly elevated image immediately collapsed. They always felt he wasn't a good sort.

"Heaven-Dominating Overlord Body, are you convinced?" A disdainful voice came from deep within the ancient tomb.

When everyone heard such a challenge, they broke out in a sweat again. This master's sense of superiority was too strong. Without even having a real duel, he had already placed himself in the Ninth Heaven, overlooking everything in the mortal world, not taking the Overlord seriously at all.

In the following days, people kept arriving, not to contend with the Overlord, but to pay respects to the "great god." Everyone wanted to see and hear how arrogant and domineering the person in the tomb was. For decades, no one had ever dared to rebuke the Overlord like this or disregard him. It was unprecedented.

For a time, the "great god" shook the ancient road. Many people admired him to the utmost. Regardless of his actual strength, he was now undoubtedly a divine being, the only fierce man who said he would crush the Overlord with one finger and make him kneel and sing submission.

No matter what, he was still alive and kicking, living well inside the ancient tomb.

"Overlord, do you dare to fight me!" One day, another Dao roar came from the starry sky. News came from a human holy city. Another person challenged the Overlord.

People were in an uproar. What was happening? Why were people challenging the Heaven-Dominating Overlord Blood's position one after another, trying to shake this young supreme? This was shocking.

Soon, it was confirmed that this was a powerful demon clan expert who had actually set foot on the human Stellar Ancient Path. He also came from the Burial Emperor Star and had once been revered as the Southern Demon.

"For a demon clan to walk the human ancient path requires great boldness. One misstep and they become an enemy of the world, surrounded and killed by the masses. This person is extraordinary."

"I heard he's about to leave the human ancient path, taken by an ancient demon onto another path. They think highly of him. Perhaps he is truly a heaven-defying existence."

Many people discussed. The duel between the Sacred Body and the Overlord Body had stirred up so many waves, rising one after another. People kept stepping forward, all because of the upcoming fateful battle.

"Are they all from the Burial Emperor Star? I'll kill them all cleanly!" The young supreme with the Heaven-Dominating Bloodline flowing within him finally spoke, displaying peerless dominance, cold and merciless.

At Human City Number Fifty, Ye Fan learned of all this. Recently, messengers had come and gone, bringing the latest news, sparking heated discussion.

Ye Fan's heart surged with waves. He had heard news of an old friend, his heart excited beyond measure. He immediately stood up and had Liu Yun relay the message for him.

"Tell Hun Zhan: If he's not afraid to fight, appear immediately! If he wants to live a few more years, disappear from the ancient road at once. Never put on your young supreme airs in front of me again. Otherwise, I will definitely suppress and kill him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar, spreading along the ancient road.

Ye Fan said this not out of impulsiveness or bias, but because he was truly worried about Pang Bo in the ancient tomb. He could be certain it was him. He feared that if the Overlord really opened the ancient tomb, something might happen to him.

The Guide Envoy appeared immediately, finding him with a face full of anxiety. "Some Dao Protectors have stepped forward to suppress the Overlord and make him retreat. Why are you calling for battle at this time?"

"Let him come. Who's afraid of who?" Ye Fan said.

"He stepped onto the Stellar Ancient Path earlier than you. His realm is a whole level above yours. You absolutely cannot fight him now." The Guide Envoy warned seriously.

"If he comes to contend with me at the same level, I'll fight him fair and square. If he uses his realm to suppress me, then..."

"Then what can you do?" The Guide Envoy asked.

"Then I'll kill him by any means necessary!" Ye Fan said decisively.

The Guide Envoy: "o#@#¥..."

"Guide Envoy, what are you saying?"

"Were you born from the same mother as that guy in the great tomb? How can you both be so arrogant? What do you take the Heaven-Dominating Overlord Blood for, that you can kill him just like that?!" The Guide Envoy truly couldn't stay calm.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, was quite composed. "Although killing him is extremely difficult, it's worth a try. It's not impossible."

The Guide Envoy said solemnly, "How can you kill him? He has been in the Saint King realm for many years. Even Di Tian, as terrifying as the Great Demon God, as invincible as the Human King, have never been able to wound a single hair on his head. Which of those people isn't a young supreme of their generation? Their fame has spread to the ancient paths of other races. Yet none have been able to kill him. They all fear each other, none daring to act rashly."

Ye Fan said calmly, "In a truly fair battle, I fear no one. But if he relies on his realm to suppress me, even without an opportunity, I'll create one to kill him. If he dares to return, the star domain where Human City Number Fifty is located will be his burial ground."

I forgot to call upon the heroes of the Stellar Ancient Path. New week, recommendation votes, recommendation votes! And monthly votes! I forgot. Everyone, don't forget to vote. Thank you.
