"I just saw it seemed quite lively here, and wondered what was happening. Tell me about it." Dan Yang was clearly the leading figure among the younger generation of the Dan Emperor Clan. As he spoke now, accompanied by the innate majesty of his Dharma Form, the other prodigies of the Dan Emperor Clan, including Dan Xian, all showed reverence.
"Brother Dan Yang, it's like this—"
Dan Xian recounted everything that had happened earlier, naturally adding quite a few embellishments along the way. He claimed how Ye Chen was utterly black-hearted, tricking their large group into jumping into a pit, and how they were completely innocent.
Throughout this, no one stepped forward to explain, not only because they didn't wish to offend the Dan Emperor Clan, but also because they genuinely coveted Ye Chen's gains.
Finally, he even mentioned the Chaos Immortal Egg that had been cut open from the chaos primordial stone. Upon hearing this, Dan Yang, who had maintained a calm expression until now, instantly had a blazing light flash in his eyes as he looked towards Ye Chen.
"A Chaos Immortal Egg was actually cut open? Fellow Daoist's luck is truly heaven-defying," Dan Yang spoke, his words filled with unavoidable astonishment. However, his tone immediately shifted: "But Fellow Daoist's methods are rather underhanded, aren't they? Tricking them like that, do you not feel any guilt?"
The implication clearly leaned towards supporting Fei Tuo, Dan Xian, and the others, causing Ye Chen to reveal a cold smile. As expected, all the great imperial clans were this protective of their own.
"What are you trying to say?"
"I must trouble Fellow Daoist to hand over all the Supreme Treasures of the Great Dao you obtained through trickery earlier and return them to everyone. This matter can then be written off. Additionally, I wish to trade for the Chaos Immortal Egg you cut open," Dan Yang stated. "After all, a common man's only crime is possessing a priceless jade. Battle Saint King, if you carry such a Chaos Immortal Egg on your person, I'm afraid you'll attract the envy and covetousness of many powerful figures who might strike from the shadows. With my Dan Emperor Clan safeguarding it, it would save you, Fellow Daoist, a great deal of unnecessary trouble."
"Fuck your mother!"
Will, whose temper was the most explosive, directly cursed. He considered himself shameless, but he hadn't expected these imperial clan disciples to be even more shameless, and to top it off, they presented themselves with such a sanctimonious tone. That was truly impressive.
"What did you say?" Dan Yang's expression changed slightly.
"Nothing much. I just want to chat about life's ideals with your wife in bed, and incidentally research the great matter of happiness and fulfillment," Will sneered sarcastically.
When it came to insults, few could match him.
"Do you wish to die?" Dan Yang's face darkened completely.
"I've seen shameless people, but never someone this shameless. The upbringing of the Dan Emperor Clan has truly broadened my horizons," Will said with a smile, appearing as calm as could be, yet no matter how you looked at it, it was filled with mockery.
Dan Yang was deep and scheming. He merely shot a cold glance at Will before turning his gaze back to Ye Chen. "Battle Saint King, although your reputation has been soaring recently, this place is ultimately not the Ultimate Ancient Path. Furthermore, one should know when to advance and when to retreat. Taking a step back leads to boundless seas and skies. You should understand what to choose."
Ye Chen smiled. "I naturally know what to do."
Just as everyone thought Ye Chen was about to back down, they discovered the Battle Saint King directly turned and left with that white-clad, black-faced fellow.
This scene left many dumbfounded. Even Dan Yang's confident smile froze stiffly on his face, a far cry from what he had imagined.
"Battle Saint King, where are you going?" Dan Yang said.
"Back to the treasure pavilion to rest. What else did you think?" Ye Chen laughed, his meaning particularly profound.
"Do you truly not intend to hand over those Supreme Treasures of the Great Dao, deliberately intending to oppose all Fellow Daoists here?" Dan Yang's handsome face grew even more somber.
"Oppose?"
Ye Chen seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He laughed heartily three times before coldly looking at Dan Yang. "The victor is king, the loser a bandit. They gambled and lost, that's all. What opposition is there? Moreover, I am the Battle Saint King, fearing no enemy. Are these riff-raff even worthy of my opposition? However many come, I'll kill that many!"
"In the future, please don't speak so hypocritically. If you want to fight, then fight. Beating around the bush like a woman. If you wish to make a move, I'll accept it all. But don't forget my warning: come one, I kill one; come two, I kill two. Even an imperial clan won't be spared. Don't believe me? Try me!"
Forceful! Domineering!
This was the invincible Battle Saint King Ye Chen, his forcefulness and domineering aura inherited in one line. Even while on the Dan Emperor Clan's turf, it remained the same.
"Hmph!"
Dan Yang and the other young prodigies of the Dan Emperor Clan all wore gloomy expressions. To be so provocatively challenged right at their doorstep was truly an unprecedented first. If they didn't teach a lesson, outsiders would really think their Dan Emperor Clan was easy to bully.
Terrifying auras surged from each of them. Especially the leader, Dan Yang, was one of the few Supreme Heavenly Prides of the imperial clan in this generation. His bloodline power nearly approached that of an Emperor's son level, extremely terrifying, even more powerful than the dwarf young Supreme One Fei Tuo beside him.
However, Ye Chen stood unmoving, his aura equally terrifying, confronting them from afar, tearing through the void.
Everyone retreated. This wasn't merely a battle of the younger generation; it was a battle between young Supreme Ones at the Great Power level.
In terms of combat power, the Battle Saint King, as a chaos young Supreme One, was not the slightest bit weaker than a Great Power-level young Supreme One.
Beside him, Will also stood firm. "Qian Yue, let's fight side by side. You deal with the men, I'll handle the women. I guarantee they'll be overjoyed and go streaking. Hehe!"
The smile on his face was as lecherous as could be.
Disgusting!
The group of women from the Dan Emperor Clan blushed crimson. This white-clad, black-faced fellow was definitely no good person.
"This is the Dan Emperor Clan, not some place where any riff-raff has the right to enter. I feel that today, some people must be taught a profound lesson. Otherwise, they'll think their so-called reputation on the Ultimate Ancient Path will shine just as brightly here in the Dan Emperor Clan," Dan Yang spoke coldly, strands of astonishing Great Power aura surging from him, causing the ten heavens to tremble in unison.
Boom—
Dan Yang made his move. He descended like a generation's Divine Lord, his aura oppressive. Around him, various astonishing phenomena materialized: mountains and rivers spread out, crimson dragons soared, ancient beasts roared, and the myriad heavens shattered. Between his fingers and palms, thousands of Dao Principles surged forth, each one astonishing, sweeping across all directions.
Boom—
Simultaneously, Ye Chen also moved. Chaos ancient qi enveloped him, evolving into the myriad worlds of the heavens. Myriad heavenly stars also manifested. The Four Great Sacred Spirits empowered him, golden light billowing forth as if the Battle Saint Ancestor had returned to the world. Accompanied by a battle aura that dominated the heavens, he swung his saintly fist, colliding with Dan Yang.
Boom—
The entire Tianyi Workshop trembled violently, but it did not shatter. This was because the two Supreme Heavenly Prides were both extraordinarily transcendent, perfectly restraining all their power without letting it spill over.
Otherwise, a collision between such Great Power-level Supreme Heavenly Prides would possess enough might to collapse vast lands spanning hundreds of thousands of li, terrifying beyond measure.
