Eternal Holy Emperor

Ye Chen’s enlightenment concluded after twenty-five years. It seemed that nothing had changed, no breakthroughs, still at the peak of the Fourth Layer Heaven, just a thin line away from stepping into the Fifth Layer Heaven. But no one knew what divine abilities he had created during this enlightenment and what kind of transformation he had undergone.

Yet his Dao trace seemed increasingly unfathomable.

"Look quickly, Combat Saint King, it’s really him, right here, truly in the Spirit Heaven Sea Domain. Who would’ve thought he was beneath the magma world underground in the sea territory? Such a blunder." The many Great Powers of the Jiuyan Emperor Clan all looked grim. They never imagined that after searching to the end, the Combat Saint King would be in the area they most suspected but had never managed to find, ultimately revealing himself voluntarily.

Ye Chen stood above the glowing, hot magma world, surveying the twelve Great Powers from the Emperor Clan that had come, and then said, "Why are you here?"

"Why are we here?" The twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan were infuriated, with the leader, a mid-stage Eighth Layer Heaven Super Great Power named Yanh Cangqiong, speaking coldly, "Combat Saint King, are you truly so brainless as to ask such a foolish question? You have two choices. Either hand over your Emperor Body, all the treasures obtained from our Emperor Clan, waste your cultivation, and surrender the Chaos Seal, and we can spare you from death. Or you’ll be suppressed by us, and we’ll personally retrieve them."

The twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan tightly surrounded the Spirit Heaven Sea Domain, sealing heaven and earth, their killing intent overwhelming.

Not to mention the nearby Hundred Countries of the Spirit Heaven Sea Domain, even the entire Jiuyan Continent and Jiuyan Emperor Star could clearly feel the terrifying oppressive might of the Emperor Clan’s Great Powers.

Under such terrifying and massive pressure, countless beings on the Jiuyan Emperor Star began to tremble, shivering from deep within their souls in fear.

Yet at the center of the oppressive might from the twelve Great Powers, Ye Chen’s expression remained indifferent, mocking, "You want me to waste my cultivation and surrender everything? Sure you’re not the ones who are brainless?"

"Combat Saint King, how dare you insult us, you court death!"

The twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan were all furious, their killing intent soaring, but Ye Chen coldly said, "It’s you who are courting death, you’ve come this far and are truly self-satisfied. Do you really think you’re so high above that I need to flatter you? The Jiuyan Emperor Clan is indeed full of arrogant fools."

"Combat Saint King, you earnestly seek death!"

"Attack!"

The twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan all called out, and Infinite Divine Power directly erupted, shaking heaven and earth, terrifying beyond measure.

In an instant, there were twelve kinds of terrifying divine skills unleashed, attacking Ye Chen.

The leading Great Power, the mid-stage Eighth Layer Heaven Emperor Clan Great Power Yanh Cangqiong, was the most fearsome, slashing out a vast blade light that enveloped the entire magma world territory, covering the sky and earth, engulfing everything, and ensuring the annihilation of the entire magma world beneath the Spirit Heaven Sea Domain.

Yet Ye Chen, from beginning to end, remained calmly natural, then shook his head lightly, saying, "You’re not up to it!"

You’re not up to it!

These simple four words seemed to contain infinite power, even infuriating the leading Eighth Layer Heaven Great Power. His blade light became exceedingly feared, capable of easily destroying a Great World.

BOOM——

Without a doubt, the twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan, with two Super Great Powers leading the attack, unleashed power beyond description, collapsing the entire Spirit Heaven Sea Domain, sweeping over, annihilating countless spaces.

But Ye Chen did not confront them. Instead, his figure instantly seemed ethereal and illusory, as if not in this world, twisting through space and time, avoiding all attacks, rushing towards the Outer Domain Starry Sky.

All attacks fall thunderously onto the magma world, each is a Great Power’s strike, boundless in power. Especially the leader, Yanh Cangqiong, a Super Great Power of the Eighth Layer Heaven, whose blade light is infinite. When everything falls, beings in a billion miles radius would be devastated and horrified beyond measure.

However, within the Jiuyan Emperor Star, a streak of light appeared, which absorbed all the destructive power, transferring it into nihility, completely dissipating.

This was the might of the Jiuyan Emperor Star, akin to other Emperor Origins Worlds, possessing its own Original Will.

Generally, this Original Will is dormant, but when it encounters terrifying attacks, it autonomously reacts, which is why the twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan dared to unleash their attacks recklessly without fearing destruction upon the Emperor Star.

"That junior, Combat Saint King, has fled outside the Emperor Star, very likely attempting to penetrate the heavenly curtain, hurry and stop him!"

"Go, stop him quickly!"

Swish swish swish——

Like lightning, the twelve Great Powers of the Emperor Clan rushed towards the Outer Domain Starry Sky, loudly mocking, "Combat Saint King, you truly are shameless, we once thought you were powerful, saying we’re not up to it, yet you didn’t dare take on our attacks."

"Indeed, we thought you were strong and domineering, only for you to turn out to be a mere coward!"

The Emperor Clan’s Great Powers mocked Ye Chen’s cowardice, unwilling to face them head-on in battle.

But Ye Chen’s disdainful voice resonated across the Jiuyan Emperor Star, "I’ve seen shamelessness, but never your Jiuyan Emperor Clan’s level of shamelessness. Twelve against one, if I took the attack head-on, wouldn’t I be as brainless as your Jiuyan Emperor Clan? Any one of you, come out, and I’ll suppress you with a single hand!"

His sarcasm made the complexion of the Emperor Clan’s Great Powers extremely unpleasant, yet as he spoke, Ye Chen had already crossed into the Outer Domain, arriving before the heavenly curtain, across from which he saw Elder Xuan Dao and Aben.

"Elders, Aben." Ye Chen spoke.

"Master!"

"Young friend!"

Aben was naturally thrilled, her master’s appearance instantly calming her worried heart.

Elder Xuan Dao felt the same joy, as he had great expectations for Ye Chen, seeing him appear unscathed brought him relief.

"Sorry for worrying you," Ye Chen smiled apologetically.

Aben quickly shook her head gently, while Elder Xuan Dao stroked his silver-white beard, chuckling, "Young friend jokes, this old man always knew with your capability, this mere Jiuyan Emperor Clan could never do anything to you."

"Wait for me, I’ll be out soon!"

Ye Chen softly spoke, then chaos light brilliantly erupted from his eyes, a boundless Qi mechanism suddenly burst forth from his entire being, sweeping across Changkong.

"Anyone who dares to block me must die, even if it’s a Peak Great Power, I will still kill without fail!"

He looked at the Eternal Sword God, his voice suddenly as cold as the absolute peak, killing intent rampant!
