"Great Powers? We have them too!"
As the voice fell, a majestic figure descended from the heavens. His thick black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his heroic bearing was vigorous, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and his physique was crystalline.
Standing there, he was like an ancient mountain range, towering and immovable.
The surface of his body radiated a profound divine light, his vast divine might shook heaven and earth, moving ghosts and gods, and stirred the entire world, causing all the powerhouses to tremble in their hearts.
Moreover, his left eye shone with holy light, containing boundless vitality, while his right eye was pitch-black like ink, with endless death energy, and a vast expanse of dark netherworld land seemed to appear deep within his pupils.
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord!
He had descended. This famous newly-advanced Great Power, though he had not set foot in the realm of Great Powers for many years, no Great Power dared to look down on him. On the contrary, they regarded him with great solemnity.
The powerhouses of the various major forces all held reverence and awe for him.
His appearance caused the situation to change subtly once again, restoring balance.
"Gate Lord!" Ye Chen saluted, his attitude respectful. This was one of the few people he deemed worthy of respect.
Behind him, War King was also filled with excitement, naturally recognizing Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord as well. After all, they both came from the same lower realm. He led his wife and child in performing a grand bow.
"War King." Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord smiled, gesturing for them to rise. His attitude was very peaceful, lacking the arrogant and overbearing demeanor of other Great Powers.
"Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord!" The two ancient Great Sages from the Qin and Ying families both changed their expressions slightly, clearly somewhat wary, yet they snorted coldly, "Do you also intend to interfere in this matter?"
The life and death energies within Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's eyes converged, yet he appeared even more profound. "War King is Battle Saint King's brother, and thus naturally a friend of my Heavenly Gate. Why should I not interfere?"
The powerhouses of the Qin and Ying families all changed their expressions, especially the two ancient Great Sages. The gray-haired Great Sage from the Qin family, however, did not yield in the slightest. "Since that's the case, this seat would like to see what methods you, Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, possess."
His aura suddenly became many times more terrifying, soaring through the heavens, piercing the firmament, startling the entire Human Sovereign City. A majestic and peerless pressure surged forth, sweeping in all directions. With a loud shout, he unleashed a terrifying divine ability and law.
Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord stood firm without fear, similarly slapping out a palm to clash head-on.
Boom—
Boundless destructive power expanded, yet it did not rush in all directions. Instead, it was intentionally guided by the two ancient Great Sages toward the heavens, vanishing into the starry sky. Several stars were blasted apart, blooming into the most brilliant fireworks, extremely conspicuous.
Naturally, this scene also alarmed the other ancient Great Sages who had left the Human Sovereign Palace. One after another, they crossed the vast sky and descended. Each was wreathed in boundless light, with Dao mark laws swirling around their bodies, like deities descending upon the world. The terrifying Great Power-level pressure descended in an instant, causing this void to nearly collapse.
In a flash, more than a dozen ancient Great Sages appeared. Their auras truly seemed capable of swallowing the heavens, overshadowing the present age, causing all the powerhouses present to tremble, revere, and submit!
Ancient Great Sages were usually aloof and elusive, giants of the myriad realms, figures even Heavenly Kings found difficult to meet. Yet now, so many had appeared at once, truly unprecedented. What had happened?
Many powerhouses in the Human Sovereign City were shocked, looking over from afar but not daring to rush forward, fearing that if such figures engaged in battle, the aftermath would spread.
A single stray ripple would be enough to annihilate heaven and earth.
Only a small number of people knew that not long ago, the Supreme Human Sovereign had issued a decree, summoning the Great Powers of the heavens to the palace to discuss important matters, gathering these ancient Great Sages in one city.
Now, these ancient Great Sages had come to watch the excitement. Seeing this scene, some were curious. Among them, familiar Great Sages spoke up: "Ying Gu, Qin Ye, Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, what has happened?"
The Qin family's Great Sage, Qin Ye, said coldly, "My Qin family wishes to capture the family traitor and those who dared to defile my Qin family's princess, as well as the bastard child they bore. Battle Saint King stepped forward to stop it. Now, even Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord intends to interfere in my Qin family's affairs. Now, this seat would like to ask, what right do these outsiders have to interfere in my Qin family's matters?"
At this point, the Qin family's Great Sage no longer intended to continue concealing the truth, revealing it to the other ancient Great Sages, who were all taken aback.
So it was a scandal involving the Qin and Ying families.
However... Battle Saint King!?
Many ancient Great Sages looked at Ye Chen with surprise and doubt. So this young man was the legendary supreme Heaven's Pride, Battle Saint King. They hadn't expected him to have come to the Human Sovereign City.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "War King is my brother. Why would I not have the right to interfere? If you want to fight, just say so. We can have a great battle!"
These words made everyone shudder. The people of the Battle Saint lineage were indeed forceful enough to dare challenge an ancient Great Sage.
However, they also knew he had the capital to do so. The other ancient Great Sages who arrived later could sense the aura on him. After their initial shock, they understood.
Among them were the Holy Feather Venerable One of the Angel Race and the Great Sage of the Ye Family, who couldn't help but feel dizzy. This Battle Saint King was truly a troublemaker. No matter where he went, he could provoke enormous trouble.
Though Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord did not speak, his actions spoke volumes. He came to Ye Chen's side, both belonging to the Heavenly Gate lineage, both peerless Heaven's Prides.
"Battle Saint King? The people of this lineage are indeed arrogant. And Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, a newly-advanced Great Power dares to step forward? Hah, truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth." Among those who came to watch the excitement, an ancient Great Sage sneered and spoke, coming to the side of the Qin and Ying families' Great Sages. He was very powerful, looking down upon Ye Chen and Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord from a superior position.
Especially when looking at Ye Chen, he carried a chilling killing intent: "I didn't expect the successor of this lineage to have grown to this step. It was truly a miscalculation. But today, we can conveniently eliminate him."
This ancient Great Sage wore dark iron battle armor covering his entire body, emanating a surging chill, harboring endless killing intent toward Ye Chen.
This made Ye Chen shudder, and then he too was filled with unconcealed killing intent.
He understood. This ancient Great Sage must have participated in the ambush against his master, Gu Yuntong, back in the day.
"Correct. This is the center of the Myriad Domains. How can we allow Great Powers from other domains to clamor here? Moreover, the majesty of the two most ancient families cannot be violated." Another ancient Great Sage also came forward, siding with the Qin and Ying families, a friendly ancient Great Sage.
Boom—
A brilliant golden divine light exploded, appearing magnificent and vast. A golden figure appeared, towering and imposing, with a majestic and intimidating bearing, his golden hair flowing loosely. His voice was like thunder: "Since when has the majesty of the Qin and Ying families allowed a mere newly-advanced Great Power to violate it? Not to mention a junior who isn't even a Great Power. Are you seeking death?"
Three ancient Great Sages had appeared, standing on the side of the Qin and Ying families. The previously balanced situation changed shockingly in an instant, completely one-sided.
This made the powerhouses of the two most powerful families, Qin and Ying, smile. With a total of five ancient Great Sages, how could a mere Battle Saint King and a Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord possibly resist them?
"Though the Human Sovereign said that every ancient Great Sage is an important combatant, a member of the alliance, those who dare violate the majesty of an imperial clan... I think even if we teach them a lesson, His Majesty should not be angered." The Qin family's Great Sage said coldly.
The five ancient Great Sages all moved with hostility, pressing forward together.
Boom—
Endless holy light erupted. Among it, the Great Sage of the Angel Race appeared, sighing lightly: "Friends of the Qin and Ying families, could you listen to this old man's words? Where you can show mercy, show mercy. Let this matter rest here. Otherwise, the consequences are hard to predict."
"What's hard to predict? Don't worry, we won't take Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord's life. After all, he is also an ancient Great Sage. But we will punish him, to make him understand some principles." The Ying family's Great Sage sneered. The Ying family pressed forward and began to take action.
At this moment, the Ye Family's Great Sage also couldn't help but speak up: "Several fellow Daoists, what Holy Feather Venerable One said is correct. This old man also wishes to advise you to think twice, to consider carefully."
This made others suspicious. Two ancient Great Sages from different imperial clans had spoken up like this. Was this pleading for mercy for Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord and Battle Saint King, or what?
"No need for consideration. The majesty of an imperial clan cannot be violated. They must be executed!"
The five ancient Great Sages all took action, tearing through the void in an instant and forcibly opening a passage. They intended to forcibly transport Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord and Ye Chen out of the domain, not daring to battle within the Human Sovereign City, lest they incur the wrath of the Supreme Human Sovereign in the Human Sovereign Palace. The consequences would then be truly unimaginable.
Boom—
The group directly entered the vast starry sky. Ye Chen and Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord were both within it. Opposite them, the five ancient Great Sages appeared. In the distant void, other ancient Great Sages followed to watch the battle.
"Take action!"
The five ancient Great Sages attacked, violently shaking the heavens. The myriad stars trembled violently, unable to withstand that vast pressure. Cracks in space, tens of thousands of li long, appeared, terrifying like abysses.
"You are despicable, bullying the few with your numbers! Shame on you for being ancient Great Sages, truly shameless!" From behind, War King, along with his wife and child, chased out, shouting loudly, filled with fury.
"So what if we bully the few with our numbers? This world has always belonged to those with the bigger fists, those who hold power." The Ying family's Great Sage sneered, looking disdainful, and charged toward the two, making War King watch anxiously.
Only Yiyi was calm, not anxious. Held by Little Wushuang, she found a comfortable position and babbled, "Don't worry too much. It'll be fine."
"Why?" War King and his family of three were stunned.
Yiyi tilted her head and said, "Because Little Yueyue is too dark and too tricky. These guys are destined to be very unlucky."
Boom—
As her words fell, several supremely powerful and vast fluctuations suddenly appeared in the starry sky. Each was at the Great Power level, exploding across the starfield, terrifying and peerless, directly tearing and shattering star after star, turning into dazzling fireworks that dotted the sky.
Several terrifyingly powerful ancient Great Sage figures appeared beside Ye Chen and Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, god-like and demonic, blocking the attacks of the opposing five ancient Great Sages.
"What!?"
The Great Sages on the Qin and Ying families' side all paled. The situation had actually undergone a huge change once again.
Moreover, the other side had more ancient Great Sages—five had arrived in one go!
"Bullying the few with numbers?" Ye Chen sneered coldly. "I like that phrase. But today, I'll return it to you!"
Boom—
Including Ye Chen, seven Great Power-level existences took action, charging toward the five ancient Great Sages.
Returning their own medicine!
