The Alien Young Supreme proposed killing Ye Chen first.
Naturally, everyone present knew of the enmity between the Alien Ancient Universe and the Sealed Boundary Universe. Especially in the previous era, the Sealed Boundary Universe had nearly been annihilated by the Alien Ancient Universe, a matter of profound contempt. Moreover, Ye Chen's strength made them feel a sense of crisis; they did not wish for such a formidable enemy to rise in the future and pose a threat to the Alien Ancient Universe.
Although they clearly understood the Alien Young Supreme was deliberately targeting Ye Chen, at this moment, they were all essentially rivals. No one was willing to speak up for Ye Chen. Even Sheng Tian, a young generation's supreme with whom he had some acquaintance, remained silent at this time.
"Everyone, this is somewhat excessive, isn't it?"
The ones who spoke were none other than Chu Shuangyu of the Moon Hall, Cloud Heaven Goddess, and the other divine couple. Because Ye Chen also originated from the Sealed Boundary Universe, and due to their affection for the Goddess and others, they felt compelled to step forward and protect him.
"Chu Shuangyu, Cloud Heaven Goddess, do you two dare to oppose all of us young supremes?"
Another Alien Young Supreme with disheveled purple hair and Double Pupils spoke, his tone icy and equally hostile. This was because the founders of the Moon Hall, the five female supremes, were also young supremes from the Sealed Boundary Universe, and the Goddess had slaughtered several Alien Young Supremes. There was immense hatred between them.
"Qing Tai, don't think we, husband and wife, fear your alien race," Chu Shuangyu snorted coldly. He was transcendent and ethereal, like an immortal banished from heaven, a handsome man of peerless elegance. Yet, at this moment, he was also somewhat angered by the attitude of the Alien Double-Pupiled Young Supreme Qing Tai.
"Hmph, fine. Today, we'll settle with you Moon Hall supremes as well," the Double-Pupiled Young Supreme Qing Tai sneered, his eyes where azure and black pupils overlapped shimmering with a sinister radiance.
"Hmph!"
Chu Shuangyu and Cloud Heaven Goddess's expressions turned icy, their auras surging.
But the Great Demon Gu Tian coldly stated, "Qing Tai, we have no obligation to help you deal with the Moon Hall supremes. Let's first deal with that Sealed Boundary Universe young supreme, Ye Chen."
Naturally, without anyone else needing to say it, aside from the Moon Hall divine couple, Sheng Tian, and Bei Ming Qi, all the other young supremes focused their attention on Ye Chen, their auras exceptionally turbulent, astonishing and terrifying.
"Kill!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
Among them, a full five young supremes attacked Ye Chen. Even though their dao techniques were largely suppressed, as young supremes, they could still unleash powerful divine abilities and secret arts.
Swish—
Ye Chen shifted sideways, evading all attacks. Those attacks exploded violently on the celestial staircase, divine radiance surging. Yet, the celestial staircase was incomparably stable, and even the void was the same, difficult to tear apart. The staircase remained firm and indestructible.
Ye Chen continued ascending step by step.
On the celestial staircase, because dao techniques were largely suppressed, their power was far from comparable to usual. Therefore, he feared nothing.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can dodge," the Alien Double-Pupiled Young Supreme Qing Tai snorted coldly. The other two Alien Young Supremes quickly charged forward as well. All three locked onto Ye Chen.
The Great Demon Gu Tian and the Fallen Angel did the same. Several young supremes had sensed the threat Ye Chen posed.
Boom—
The five young supremes attacked again. They rapidly climbed while continuously launching assaults, their dao techniques bombarding Ye Chen in a frenzy. Divine radiance billowed forth, incredibly dazzling.
Ye Chen initially tried to evade, but the attacks from the five young supremes grew increasingly dense. Several times, they narrowly missed him, almost striking him directly.
Furthermore, several other young supremes joined the fray, bringing the total to eight—almost half of the young supremes who had arrived.
The Moon Hall's supreme couple initially intended to help block some attacks, but in the end, they reluctantly gave up. Although some had not directly attacked Ye Chen, they subtly, intentionally or not, blocked the couple, preventing them from aiding Ye Chen.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's expression turned icy. He stood firm on a step, looking down from a commanding height as he coldly swept his gaze over the five young supremes. "Do you really want to force me to kill you?"
The various young supremes were about to mock Ye Chen, questioning what right he had to kill them. But at that very moment, the most terrifying killing intent erupted from Ye Chen's body.
Boom—
It was clearly intangible killing intent, yet at this moment, it manifested a horrifying scene as if heaven and earth were collapsing and tearing apart in an instant. Like a tidal wave, it surged down the celestial staircase, inundating the young supremes below. Instantly, the temperature in this space plummeted many times over, causing even the young supremes to change expression.
Especially the ancient path trial-takers and the powerful experts from various races who had come—they were utterly terrified at this moment. They could fully sense how fearsome the killing intent emanating from Ye Chen was, absolutely surpassing that of an ordinary young supreme.
How terrifying! How could he possess such a horrifying, overwhelming killing intent?
Amidst the overwhelming killing intent, terrifying images materialized. In a world filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, countless bones and flesh were piled high. Innumerable beings lay strewn across the land—various races, alien races, shattered stars.
Among it all, a path paved and piled with flesh and white bones stretched forth. At its end stood a throne of white bones, forged from the divine bones of numerous powerful experts. Upon it sat a young, heroic, and tall figure. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his brows sword-like and eyes starry, with a faint crescent moon mark between his eyebrows. His eyes churned with chaos, like a Heavenly Emperor. He sat upon the throne, looking down from a commanding height as if gazing upon the most humble ants, filled with utter ruthlessness.
That person was none other than the Sealed Boundary Young Supreme, Ye Chen.
What kind of scene was this? Why was it so astonishing and terrifying? What did it portend? Was it signifying that this Sealed Boundary Young Supreme before them was peerless in the world, destined to ascend to the supreme Emperor's throne?
Everyone was shocked. Then, this scene dissipated, transforming into even more terrifying killing intent that flooded downward, making the young supremes feel their bodies turn cold, gripped by immense chill.
All the young supremes were shocked, and some among them were even horrified. Because of Ye Chen's strength, he was very likely an Imperial Son. Otherwise, how could an ordinary young supreme possess such terrifying killing intent?
"Hmph, do you really think you're an Imperial Son?"
The three Alien Young Supremes all snorted coldly. Although Ye Chen was fearsome, they were genuine young supremes. What did they have to fear? They prepared to attack directly.
Boom—
The void trembled, heaven and earth seeming on the verge of being torn apart. Before the three Alien Young Supremes could truly strike, Ye Chen descended from above, charging down along the celestial staircase to attack.
