However, the other high-level members of the imperial clan who had followed, such as the five imperial clan Heavenly Kings and the many more experts below the Heavenly King level, were affected by those ethereal sword radiances. Immediately, they fell down one after another, powerless, their eyes vacant.
Their divine souls had been extinguished, completely dead.
Even a Great Power could not withstand Ye Chen's divine soul attack, let alone those below the Great Power level. A mere touch meant certain death.
"So strong!"
The remaining chieftain and the two imperial clan Great Powers paled in terror. Although rumors said the Battle Saint King was powerful, to sweep through everyone in the blink of an eye, annihilating all below the Great Power level directly, was terrifyingly outrageous.
Boom—
Ye Chen paid no heed at all. At this moment, he took a single step forward, instantly restraining all space-time within this heavy hall, preventing the three Great Powers from leaving. Even though they were Great Powers, they could not break through the restraint to escape.
Moreover, it involved the power of Time and Space, also containing Chaos Power, as if completely isolating the hall's space from this ancient universe. No matter what, the three could not successfully call for reinforcements; communication was also impossible.
Puff puff—
Under two light, effortless slaps, the two imperial clan Great Powers were directly smashed to pieces. Ye Chen didn't even attempt enslavement.
Because such imperial clan Great Powers flowed with imperial bloodline, and having cultivated to the Great Power realm, this bloodline power had recovered to an astonishing degree, possessing a trace of Emperor's Might. Successfully enslaving them was undoubtedly quite impossible.
At the very least, it was not possible currently, so Ye Chen chose to kill them directly!
In the end, only the chieftain remained. Because he had the mysterious silver bell protecting his Divine Soul Little Person, he was not killed immediately, though he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
He looked at the Battle Saint King with an ugly expression and said, "Battle Saint King, you dare to kill within my Jiuyan Imperial Clan, and even slay Great Powers. Now you even want to kill me. Are you determined to set our Jiuyan Imperial Clan as your complete enemy?"
Even at this point, he still did not forget to threaten with the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. After all, this was a dominant imperial clan flourishing throughout the ancient universe, immeasurably powerful, possessing Ancient Monarchs, a supreme Emperor's weapon, and the boundless heritage left behind by the former Supreme Emperor. Even an Ancient Monarch would have to carefully consider whether to make an enemy of the entire Jiuyan Imperial Clan.
"Heh, aren't we already enemies now?" Ye Chen chuckled coldly, causing the Jiuyan chieftain to freeze.
Right. The Battle Saint King had killed several Great Powers of your Jiuyan Imperial Clan, even killed one super-killing level Great Power. Moreover, the Jiuyan Imperial Clan had also hunted him, even the Jiuyan Sovereign was the same. Weren't they already enemies long ago?
The Jiuyan chieftain was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.
However, Ye Chen was not foolish enough to let the Jiuyan chieftain stall for time. He strode over to kill, directly striking out with a Chaos Seal. The Chaos Runes that condensed the immortal seal transformed into miniature stars, merging into one. At this moment, the immortal seal blasted out, terrifyingly inconceivable.
With a loud boom, the Jiuyan chieftain's physical body was completely shattered, his divine body gone. Only the mysterious silver bell protected his Divine Soul Little Person, allowing him to escape death.
Even with Ye Chen's unparalleled combat power, it was difficult to kill him in a short time.
Boom—
During this, Ye Chen tried using Battle Saint Techniques, Spirit Sword Finger, and other divine abilities that drastically increased combat power to blast over, but he still could not break through the mysterious silver bell's defense. The Jiuyan chieftain's Divine Soul Little Person sat cross-legged within, unwilling to come out.
"What a turtle shell!"
Ye Chen sighed lightly. If he were in a safe place outside, he would really want to try using his Universe Creation to blast through the silver bell's defense. But now it was not possible. He simply used the Chaos Great Cauldron to take it in, suppressing the mysterious silver bell within. Chaos Dao Flames blazed, refining it and imposing an alternative restraint.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen released the restraint on this heavy hall and walked out. He used the Heaven-Stealing Earth-Altering Mystic Technique to imitate the Jiuyan chieftain's origin aura, transforming into him, and strode across the Jiuyan Imperial Star.
This majestic Imperial Star basically had all its territories belonging to the Jiuyan Imperial Clan, different from the Emperor Birth Star.
Wherever Ye Chen passed, the clansmen of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan all paid worshipful and fervent grand salutes, never imagining that this person was not only not the real chieftain but also the great enemy of the entire imperial clan, the Battle Saint King.
Ye Chen wore a cold, solemn expression, directly passing through numerous dangerous passes. He even had an imperial clan Heavenly King lead the way, bringing him to the true important place of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan—the place responsible for suppressing the entire imperial clan's supreme heritage, the most important location: the Jiuyan Imperial Palace!
The Jiuyan Imperial Palace was the imperial palace ancient land from which the Jiuyan Imperial Clan's Supreme One, the Jiuyan Great Emperor, once commanded the myriad heavens. It also suppressed the greatest heritage of the entire Jiuyan Imperial Clan, incomparably important. Even the contemporary chieftain could not easily set foot in this imperial palace.
Rumors said that the Jiuyan Imperial Clan's Great Emperor did not mysteriously disappear back then but passed away, secretly sent into the Jiuyan Imperial Palace by the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. The Jiuyan Imperial Robe, this supreme Emperor's weapon, concealed the Great Emperor's aura, preventing the world from knowing.
Naturally, how much truth this rumor held was unverifiable; only the absolute high-level members of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan could know.
Ye Chen looked at the Jiuyan Imperial Palace hidden within another inner world heaven and earth in the Jiuyan Imperial Star. It was so magnificent, more majestic than mountains, more vast than the starry sky, with an aura more boundless than an Ancient Monarch, permeating endlessly. It made even someone as domineering and powerful as Ye Chen maintain a degree of reverence.
Making that imperial clan Heavenly King retreat, Ye Chen was very cautious, not killing the other here for fear of causing immense trouble. He stepped inside, and the Heaven's Eye manifested, seeing through everything. Moreover, numerous Dao marks and trajectories continuously appeared before his eyes, allowing him to more calmly avoid one terrifying great formation after another.
Finally, after spending a full half day, Ye Chen successfully entered the Jiuyan Imperial Palace. It was an infinitely vast empty hall, containing nothing, only an Emperor's Throne positioned at the center.
However, that Emperor's Throne was clearly empty, yet it made Ye Chen feel a supreme, lofty aura flowing, as if on that Emperor's Throne, the Jiuyan Great Emperor who once commanded the myriad heavens had not left but still sat upon it, looking down upon him from a high position, making even him feel reverence.
Ye Chen forcibly steadied his mind. He did not attempt to explore with divine sense because this was an imperial clan heavy hall, a place suppressing heritage, absolutely impossible to find so easily.
Boom—
Suddenly, an infinite, boundless pressure abruptly appeared, originating from that Emperor's Throne. On the originally empty Emperor's Throne, from an unknown time, a terrifying supreme Emperor's shadow had appeared.
He was so peerlessly majestic, so world-surpassing supreme, like the most powerful existence between heaven and earth. Merely sitting on that Emperor's Throne, the Emperor's Might inadvertently emitted was enough to cause heaven to collapse and earth to split, shattering everything.
Within the imperial palace, Ye Chen clearly felt this most terrifying Emperor's Might, surging over, more like the entire great universe pressing down on his shoulders.
Crackle pop—his entire body's bones and tendons emitted crisp, clear sounds one after another. He stared fixedly at that world-surpassing Emperor's shadow on the Emperor's Throne.
