Within the Chaos Primordial Stone, another Chaos Primordial Stone had actually been cut out—a stone within a stone, something almost unprecedented.
No one had anticipated this outcome.
"Haha, the Battle Saint King has miscalculated after all!"
"I told you, any Chaos Primordial Stone that truly contains rare treasures naturally possesses an extraordinary appearance. How could such an ordinary-looking stone hold a peerless treasure?"
"A stone within a stone... to think it ended up containing a second Chaos Primordial Stone. Truly unheard of, unseen before."
"Heh, perhaps this Chaos Primordial Stone nurtures Chaos Immortal Gold? Of course, it's more likely to be empty. Maybe it'll yield a few more wisps of primordial Chaos Qi, which would be a great supplement for cultivation for a chaos young generation's supreme like the Battle Saint King."
Some marveled, while others sneered and mocked Ye Chen in secret.
A few wisps of primordial Chaos Qi were utterly useless to a chaos young generation's supreme.
Ye Chen remained calm, holding up this Chaos Primordial Stone in his hand. He looked toward the person who had mocked him—a young generation's supreme, and one at the Great Power realm at that, very powerful.
It was a young generation's supreme from the Dwarf Clan. Though short in stature, no one present dared to look down on him.
Ye Chen looked at him indifferently. "Who are you?"
"Fei Tuo," the Dwarf young generation's supreme sneered.
When he announced his name, many in the crowd gasped in surprise.
Fei Tuo, the Dwarf Clan's young generation's supreme, was a famous figure on the Ultimate Ancient Path, incredibly powerful. He had roamed the ancient path for over a century, slain countless experts, and was a terrifying figure who dominated his generation. Even among young generation's supremes, he was a true standout.
Having reached this stage, having just stepped into the Great Power realm, Fei Tuo possessed the capital to make even Great Powers across the heavens wary.
"Don't know him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen spoke thus, his expression indifferent.
Speaking so openly immediately caused Fei Tuo's face to darken.
Who was he? Not just on the Ultimate Ancient Path, but across the entire starry sky, he was a renowned and powerful figure of his generation, watched closely by all sides. Yet, the Battle Saint King had bluntly stated he didn't know him—it was like being publicly slapped in the face.
Fei Tuo couldn't help but snort coldly. "Truly an arrogant brat with limited knowledge."
"I've killed more than one Great Power realm young generation's supreme, I've shattered Taiyi, and I've slain the Chaos Hegemon's chaos clone," Ye Chen retorted coldly. "Compared to them, what are you worth that I should remember you?"
As his words fell, the entire place erupted in an uproar.
Though they had long known of the Battle Saint King's various glorious achievements, hearing him say it himself now—even mentioning slaying the Chaos Hegemon's chaos clone—unconsciously highlighted his peerless invincibility.
In comparison, the Dwarf young generation's supreme Fei Tuo paled significantly. No matter how powerful he was, he was far from being mentioned in the same breath as ancient path overlords like Taiyi and the Chaos Hegemon.
Fei Tuo's expression grew even uglier; this slap was even harsher than the last.
"That's right, what are you worth? My brother is an invincible one who can shatter two ancient path overlords. Don't try to gild yourself," Will chimed in from the side, sneering repeatedly.
"Since you're not worth anything, don't recklessly interrupt. This isn't a place where just anyone can speak up casually," Ye Chen said lightly.
"You—"
Fei Tuo's face flushed red with anger. He truly wanted to attack Ye Chen and Will, to teach them a lesson. But thinking of this unfathomable Battle Saint King, he still felt wary.
"What's going on here?"
At that moment, a group of people arrived—all were Heaven's Pride prodigies of the younger generation. The men were handsome and suave, the women beautiful and captivating. They wore golden robes and jade garments bearing the insignia of the Dan Emperor Clan, clearly all outstanding young talents of the Dan Emperor Clan.
The leader was a particularly striking and handsome young man, though his face bore a hint of arrogance. His cultivation was also quite good—at the peak Heavenly King realm, just a step away from the Great Power realm.
But on his chest was a special alchemy cauldron badge, with seven cauldrons appearing—the mark of a seventh-level alchemist.
Clearly, this Dan Emperor Clan prodigy was not only exceptional in cultivation but also outstanding in the path of alchemy, his status no weaker than an ancient Great Power.
"Brother Dan Xian," Fei Tuo greeted the leading Dan Emperor Clan young genius.
"Brother Fei Tuo, I didn't expect to see you here. Have you found any treasures you like in the Tianyi Market?" Dan Xian asked with a smile, clearly having an unusual friendship with Fei Tuo.
But Fei Tuo's expression was gloomy. "Didn't encounter any treasures I liked, but I did run into an arrogant and detestable person."
"Who?" Dan Xian and the other Dan Emperor Clan young elites were startled.
Fei Tuo didn't speak, but his gaze directly turned toward Ye Chen's direction, his meaning obvious.
"Brother Fei Tuo, don't worry. I'll handle this for you." Dan Xian then frowned as he looked at Ye Chen, speaking with a cold and authoritative tone. "Kid, tell me, what's your name?"
"Surname Shu, given name Shu," Ye Chen said.
"Shu Shu?" Dan Xian frowned. "That's a rather strange name."
Yet as his voice fell, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Good boy!" Ye Chen revealed a smile. Will directly laughed heartily, very pleased. "What a good nephew. Hurry up and call me Uncle too. Uncle will buy you candy later."
Only then did Dan Xian react, his expression suddenly changing as he glared angrily at Ye Chen. "You're looking for death!"
The other Dan Emperor Clan young geniuses all looked coldly at Ye Chen. To dare cause trouble on the Dan Emperor Clan's turf was truly seeking death.
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "If you dare attack me, I don't mind giving you a lesson on behalf of the Dan Emperor Clan's elders."
Hearing this, these Dan Emperor Clan young elites grew even angrier, especially Dan Xian, who almost wanted to make a move. But Fei Tuo stopped him, transmitting a message: "Don't act. He's the Battle Saint King."
"The Battle Saint King!?"
Dan Xian and the other Dan Emperor Clan young elites all slightly changed expression. Naturally, they had heard of the Battle Saint King's reputation. But Dan Xian sneered coldly: "So what if he's the Battle Saint King? Does he dare attack me? This is the Dan Realm, and Dan Tian City at that. If he's a dragon, he'll coil for our Dan Emperor Clan; if he's a tiger, he'll crouch for our Dan Emperor Clan."
He had strong confidence. This was the Dan Emperor Clan's territory. He truly didn't believe Ye Chen would dare attack on the Dan Emperor Clan's turf—that would be pure suicide.
The Dwarf young generation's supreme Fei Tuo also sneered coldly. "Battle Saint King, this is the Dan Emperor Clan's territory. You'd better rein in your arrogant temper."
Seeing the Battle Saint King suffer a setback pleased him greatly.
"Oh? But what of the Dan Emperor Clan?" Ye Chen laughed coldly, thick killing intent in his voice. "If you dare attack me, I don't mind killing you right here on the spot!"
Boom—
As his words fell, the killing aura around Ye Chen instantly intensified many times over, almost overwhelming as it spread out, directly engulfing Dan Xian and the group of Dan Emperor Clan young elites.
