Kill!
This was Ye Chen's will. Even if the Human Sovereign himself came, there would be no discussion.
A century ago, he had spared no effort to protect the Sealed Boundary Universe, even sacrificing himself in a Saintly Sacrifice. It took a hundred arduous years for him to finally resurrect. This could be called an unparalleled, monumental merit.
Not even a Supreme Human Sovereign could deny this.
Yet now, upon his return, during his transformation and memory recovery, he was hunted down—by a full seven ancient Great Sages, no less.
These ancient Great Sages had not contributed any significant merit in guarding the Emperor's Pass. Most of them had not even fought at the Emperor's Pass, instead remaining in the myriad realms to preserve themselves.
Not only did they not protect the Emperor's Pass, they now turned around to kill him, the one who had performed such great deeds. This filled him with rage, with chilling disappointment, his heart brimming with fury.
He truly wanted to sneer coldly. What kind of world was this? The good die young, while the wicked live forever.
On this day, no matter what, he could not let these people go.
So what if they were ancient Great Sages? Did that guarantee they would protect the safety of the Sealed Boundary Universe? Would they not hide away, or even stab others in the back to survive?
Were they not now, for their own benefit, trying to harm him, the one who had performed such great deeds for the Sealed Boundary Universe a century ago?
If the Human Sovereign came to stop him this time, Ye Chen would have nothing to say. Knowing he was no match for the Human Sovereign, he would give up the pursuit. But his heart would turn completely cold and desolate. From then on, he would certainly take all his family and friends, embark on the Ultimate Ancient Path, and leave this Sealed Boundary Universe far behind. He would not care even if it were destroyed.
Because he would absolutely not protect such a twisted, deformed ancient universe.
"You—"
The Great Power from the Tai Sheng Imperial Clan had not expected Ye Chen to be so forceful, yet he was also left speechless. For the Sealed Boundary Universe, the Battle Saint King truly had immense grace, a point no one could oppose.
"Battle Saint King, we acknowledge that you protected the Sealed Boundary Universe, sacrificing yourself without hesitation, achieving unparalleled merit. But previously, we had no intention of killing you. We merely believed you were a blasphemer impersonating your identity, trying to seize the peerless great sect and the Ancient Lan Great World you left behind. We only acted because we could not stand by and watch."
Even at this point, Di Yan was still making excuses, unwilling to admit the truth. Otherwise, if word got out, they would be condemned by the world, and the eternal reputation of the prestigious Tai Sheng Imperial Clan would be ruined.
"Shameless!"
"Utterly disgraceful!"
However, Xia Zhidi, Nine Void Divine King, and the other Great Powers had grim expressions and couldn't help but curse aloud.
This was the very definition of shamelessness.
Clearly, everything from start to finish had been targeting Ye Chen, trying to harm him and prevent his successful transformation. Yet at this point, they made excuses, twisted right and wrong, portraying themselves as having acted for Ye Chen's own good.
They had seen shameless people before, but never this shameless—gilding their own image.
The Tai Sheng Imperial Clan Great Power Di Yan was probably the most shameless Imperial Clan Great Power.
Only, the smile on Ye Chen's face grew increasingly cold and sharp. "If that's the case, I really should thank you all for coming to kill me."
"Battle Saint King, I said it was a misunderstanding. I hope we can let this matter rest. It would be good for both you and me," Di Yan said. "We can all offer you appropriate compensation."
Ye Chen's smile was icy cold. "No compensation needed. Since you came to help me, I should be the one thanking you. I have nothing to repay you with. I think sending you to the next life would be better!"
Boom—
The God-Killing Sword instantly burned through over half of its divine spirit essence. The entire Great Power-level Divine Sword was completely ignited, reaching its most powerful state but also heading toward complete destruction. In Ye Chen's hand, it erupted with the most brilliant radiance.
Bright as a blazing sun, it seethed and surged. With one slash, the entire Divine Realm rumbled violently, as if it were about to be completely torn in two.
Heaven and Earth Great Annihilation!
Even the Tai Sheng Imperial Clan Great Power Di Yan could not withstand it, sensing a life-threatening crisis. He used his own Immortal Ancient Weapon to block and swiftly retreated.
But the power unleashed by the burning God-Killing Sword was supremely majestic and powerful. It not only slashed toward the Imperial Clan Great Power Di Yan but also toward the other Great Powers.
Great Powers like Xia Zhidi, who had come with them, had long been warned by Ye Chen via divine sense transmission and had already left.
Pfft—
The Primordial Demonic God Teng Snake Great Power could not instantly teleport away. Its massive, enormous serpent body was directly severed into two halves, with copious amounts of blood spraying out.
On the other side, an ancient Great Power shrouded in an aura of death was also wounded by this sword strike, blood spurting out, revealing its true form.
It was another ancient Great Power from the Undying Divine Kingdom Sacred Land. That supreme sacred land had more than one ancient Great Power, and now one had appeared.
However, this sword strike was too powerful. Both ancient Great Powers were severely wounded, blood gushing like springs, staining the Divine Realm red.
Ye Chen swung his sword again, unleashing another sword radiance of extreme brilliance. The entire God-Killing Sword was completely burned to ashes, utterly disintegrating, all its potential fully released.
This strike was aimed at the Primordial Beast God, intending to kill one of the seven opposing ancient Great Powers, preventing any resurrection.
Boom—
In the end, the Primordial Beast God was cleaved in two. The terrifying power of the sword radiance was unstoppable. Even the mighty Primordial Beast God was instantly split, its divine soul also severed in half.
However, a Great Power was still a Great Power. Their vitality was truly unparalleled, difficult to kill. The divine soul, wrapped around the two halves of the massive body, shot into the sky, wanting only to escape and reassemble in the distance.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly. At this moment, he was incomparably powerful, incomparably terrifying, practically invincible enough to sweep through the myriad realms.
He charged forward, and the Chaos Great Cauldron, which had trapped the Assassin Venerable's divine soul, flew over and landed before him, trembling violently. The Assassin Venerable inside struggled incessantly, trying to break free.
But Ye Chen directly slapped it with his Heaven-Shaking Hand—nine consecutive palms, continuously shaking the Assassin Venerable being refined and burned within the cauldron until his divine soul was on the verge of shattering. Moreover, the Chaos Great Cauldron tore through space, exploding the fleeing Primordial Beast God in the distant sky, tearing its flesh and blood apart!
Clang—
Chaos surged, instantly swallowing the Primordial Beast God's divine soul into the Chaos Great Cauldron. Chaotic light shot into the heavens—it was the Chaos Dao Fire burning, refining the two ancient Great Powers inside.
There, Ye Chen soared into the sky, landing atop it. His entire body released ten thousand layers of primordial Chaos Qi, chaotic light blooming as he fully suppressed them, intending to completely refine them.
And he stood atop the cauldron, looking down upon the myriad realms, proud and aloof, surrounded by boundless primordial Chaos Qi, and coldly declared, "Who dares come forward? I wouldn't mind suppressing more!"
As his words fell, a vast and mighty aura swept forth, suppressing everything!
