"Shocking news, shocking news! The situation has undergone a startling change. The five young supremes of the ancient path have encountered a peerless great enemy!"
An astonishing piece of news suddenly spread, immediately causing shock and a flurry of discussion among the countless people in the tavern. Everyone was speculating about what major change had occurred.
"Could it be that the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan can no longer stand by and is about to take action?"
"Have the older generation powerhouses of the Emperor Clan finally had enough and are about to intervene to stop this?"
"But if they do that, aren't they worried about provoking the wrath of the Ultimate Ancient Path and the descent of a figure of great terror?"
Many were suspicious and alarmed. The Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan was indeed powerful, descendants of an Emperor, possessing unfathomable heritage. But equally, when had the Ultimate Ancient Path ever been weak? Throughout the ages, even across successive epochal eras, countless Heaven's Prides had traversed the Ultimate Ancient Path. Among them, quite a few had later successfully proved their Dao and became Emperors, gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Some had even returned, leaving behind rich rewards, resulting in the Ultimate Ancient Path possessing unimaginable heritage. Even Ancient Monarchs were not lacking. Would the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan be willing to tear off all pretense and thoroughly offend such a mysterious and unfathomable Ultimate Ancient Path?
Although Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, it was also within his expectations. After all, the five young supremes were pillars for the future of the entire Emperor Clan; even the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan could not afford to lose them. How could they just watch them be lost? However, by doing this, the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan would be inviting trouble, being the first to break the rules. The Ultimate Ancient Path would not stand for it and would inevitably send even more terrifying older generation peerless powerhouses.
But soon, before everyone could guess which older generation Emperor Clan supreme powerhouse had acted, another piece of news arrived, and it was a bombshell. Once it spread, it caused everyone's expressions to change drastically, even including Ye Chen, who was momentarily stunned—
"Bombshell news! The Emperor Clan has acted, but it wasn't some older generation supreme powerhouse of the Emperor Clan. It was also a peerless Heaven's Pride of the younger generation—the Imperial Son! The Yuanchu Imperial Son has emerged into the world!"
Without a doubt, this was shocking news. The Yuanchu Imperial Son had actually not embarked on that exclusive path for supreme bloodlines either, but had remained within the clan, similar to the Dan Emperor Clan's Imperial Maiden in the past. However, the Dan Emperor Clan's Imperial Maiden had since left. Now, among the Emperor Clans' Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens, probably only the Yuanchu Imperial Son had not set out on the path, and now he had completely emerged.
"The Imperial Son! It's actually the Yuanchu Imperial Son! He was actually stirred into emerging!"
"The invincible Imperial Son! Didn't he embark on that exclusive ancient path for supreme bloodlines? The Yuanchu Imperial Son is actually still here."
"Although the Yuanchu Imperial Son emerged a long time ago, he didn't take that exclusive mysterious ancient path for supreme bloodlines. It seems he also learned of his father, the Great Emperor's, reincarnation returning, and deliberately stayed long in the Emperor Clan just to wait for the Great Emperor's reincarnation to return."
Many people speculated. Based on the information obtained, it could be understood that after the Yuanchu Imperial Son emerged, he directly rescued the two young supremes of the Emperor Clan and was now confronting the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path. The two sides were currently in a standoff. According to the information received, the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path had not retreated but were maintaining the confrontation, and it was highly likely both sides would engage in battle.
Clearly, the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path all wanted to know just how powerful the Yuanchu Imperial Son was. They wanted to battle this Imperial Son to test their strength. After all, an Imperial Son was the strongest young supreme. If they could battle him, it would be enough to represent possessing the strongest combat power on the Ultimate Ancient Path. However, none of the five young supremes of the ancient path stepped forward to fight alone. Instead, they intended to join forces to jointly confront the Yuanchu Imperial Son.
"Isn't that a bit shameless? Even though the opponent is an Imperial Son, hailed as the strongest young supreme, five people against one is a bit too much, isn't it?"
"Too much? Even if it's just one person, he's an Imperial Son. Don't underestimate the terror of an Imperial Son."
"No matter how terrifying, he's still just one person. How terrifying can he be?"
Many were puzzled and frowned at the shamelessness of the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path. Five against one was somewhat bullying with numbers, not quite honorable.
"There's no shameless or not shameless. It's simply about the victor being king and the vanquished a bandit!"
"Exactly, victor king, vanquished bandit. Moreover, the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path might not necessarily be able to defeat the Yuanchu Imperial Son. Don't truly underestimate the terrifying aspect of an Imperial Son Heaven's Pride. Don't forget the Battle Saint King who recently forcefully executed the five Heaven's Prides of the Emperor Clan. Back then, he alone consecutively killed over a dozen young supremes in the Burial Heaven Domain, wasn't that just one person?"
"There are differences even among young supremes. As the Battle Saint King once said, there are great differences even among young supremes. Like him, like an Imperial Son, they are the strongest supreme Heaven's Prides, not to be mentioned in the same breath."
The crowd discussed fervently. At some point, the discussion had shifted to Ye Chen. Back then, the Battle Saint King, in the Burial Heaven Domain, alone had consecutively slain a double-digit number of young supremes, crushing them like rotten wood, unstoppable, becoming a myth. His power proved that even among young supremes, there were great differences. Some were just ordinary young supremes, while others could be called the strongest young supremes, sweeping through their generation invincibly. Imperial Son Heaven's Prides were precisely this kind, possessing combat power far surpassing ordinary young supremes, fully capable of confronting multiple young supremes alone.
Thinking of the invincible Battle Saint King, everyone fell silent. Could Imperial Son-level supreme Heaven's Prides really be that terrifying?
In the private room, Ye Chen somewhat helplessly rubbed his forehead. He hadn't expected the conversation to end up being about him. Beside him, Nine Snakes couldn't help but laugh, though there was also pride. Although he had submitted to Ye Chen, he had submitted to one of the most famous strongest young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path. It wasn't shameful to say.
Everyone was waiting for news to return, thinking this battle between supreme Heaven's Prides would last a long time. Even if the Yuanchu Imperial Son was powerful, he would likely be drawn into a protracted battle. But less than half an hour later, news came out—
"The outcome is decided! The Yuanchu Imperial Son achieved a great victory! The five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path were completely routed, far from being a match!"
This news was like a meteor falling into the sea, stirring up thousand-layer waves of astonishment and shocking everyone. They were all dumbfounded, then collectively drew in a sharp breath of cold air. The five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path had been defeated, and completely routed at that, utterly crushed. How was this possible!? If true, this Yuanchu Imperial Son was frighteningly powerful. Just one person, yet he crushed them like rotten wood, directly sweeping aside all the young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path to achieve final victory. Spreading the news, no one would believe it. Yet, based on various reports from all sides, it was true. The Yuanchu Imperial Son was truly that terrifying.
"Although the five young supremes of the ancient path joined forces to attack, the Yuanchu Imperial Son fearlessly confronted them head-on. Alone, he directly confronted the five young supremes of the ancient path, and his invincible demeanor was simply described as crushing rotten wood, impossible to resist."
"The five young supremes joining forces couldn't do anything to the Yuanchu Imperial Son. He used supreme divine abilities to neutralize all their attacks, unable to harm his Imperial Son body."
"The Yuanchu Imperial Son is too powerful, unbelievable. As soon as he appeared, not only did he simultaneously confront the five young supremes of the ancient path, but in this direct clash, in less than twenty exchanges, he severely wounded one of the ancient path young supremes, sending him flying with blood spurting, far from a match."
"The unicorn steed of the ancient path young supreme Sheng Tian was slain, and Sheng Tian himself had his chest pierced by a fist from the Yuanchu Imperial Son, his arm torn off, severely wounded as he fled far away!"
"The divine couple from the Moon Palace used their partner divine abilities but were still no match, also severely wounded as they fled far away."
"The other two ancient path young supremes had their divine bodies torn apart. Using secret treasures of the Great Dao, they soared into the sky at extreme speed. The Yuanchu Imperial Son did not stop them."
"Before a hundred exchanges were even completed, the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path were completely routed like this."
Piece by piece, news kept coming. Although each only briefly mentioned the process in a few words, anyone could imagine how swift and thunderous this battle between the supreme Heaven's Prides of both sides must have been. The Yuanchu Imperial Son was domineering and peerless, sweeping through the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path, and in a short time, successively severely wounded them, achieving a complete victory.
In the Nine Flames Tower, the many powerhouses were all exclaiming in amazement. This Yuanchu Imperial Son was truly too powerful.
Hearing the news, Ye Chen's expression also turned grave. Because the opponent was an Imperial Son, also a peerlessly powerful Imperial Son Heaven's Pride. In the future, he would very likely encounter this fearsome Imperial Son—a great enemy worthy of grave attention.
Next, it was heard that the Yuanchu Imperial Son did not pursue the five young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path. Instead, he rushed out, tore through the void, and alone headed to the location of the other three young supremes of the Primordial Beginning Emperor Clan who were being pursued. Alone, he confronted the remaining seven young supremes of the ancient path, engaging in fierce battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle occurred in the outer realms. In that star domain, divine light blazed brilliantly, destructive power surged to the heavens, annihilating and shattering a vast asteroid belt, with one star after another being blown apart. That was the Yuanchu Imperial Son confronting the seven young supremes of the Ultimate Ancient Path. The number of supreme Heaven's Prides was greater, and the battle even more intense.
Many powerhouses soared into the sky, gazing into the star domain of the outer realms to watch the battle. However, terrifying Great Dao rules intertwined there, interfering with vision. Ordinary Heavenly Eyes couldn't penetrate it, and no one dared to rush into the outer realms, fearing that even a stray ripple from the battle could bring devastating consequences to themselves.
Among them, only Ye Chen, though still sitting in the Nine Flames Tower private room, had countless Chaos runes interweaving and evolving in his eyes. The Eyes of Heaven opened, piercing through illusions, also seeing the various scenes in the outer realms.
After a long time, he murmured to himself, "What a fearsome Yuanchu Imperial Son!"
The words were few, but among the younger generation of the present era, there were not many worthy of such an evaluation from him. Even ordinary young supremes couldn't be rated like this. Each one was a truly terrifying figure with peerless, awe-inspiring demeanor!
