At this moment, Mo Haishen respectfully bowed towards Ye Chen and said, "Master, it was this subordinate's fault for not doing well enough. I almost let that Sun God Sword escape, nearly causing a great disaster."
Mo Haishen also felt a lingering fear because he sensed that both divine swords contained Jian Tian's divine sense power. If they had returned to their original owner, everything that happened today would have been clearly revealed. Although he himself was not afraid, for the small human tribe of the Xia Sang Tribe, it would likely have brought about a devastating blow.
The Bone Heavenly Demon Clan was, after all, a behemoth ranked among the three thousand royal clans. While they themselves were not afraid, they could not stay in the Xia Sang Tribe forever to protect it at all times.
This was clearly something the master did not wish to see either.
Ye Chen did not speak, merely fixing his gaze upon him, causing cold sweat to break out on Mo Haishen's back. He hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "I beg Master to spare this subordinate. I will never be careless or underestimate things again. Next time, I will definitely resolve matters swiftly and decisively, cutting off all future troubles."
Only then did Ye Chen nod slightly. This time, while the fault did not lie entirely with Mo Haishen, there was still some element of his carelessness and underestimation. Thinking he had everything under control, he had nearly brought about a calamity of extermination upon the Xia Sang Tribe.
If the Xia Sang Tribe were to be exterminated because of them, he would carry the guilt for a lifetime.
However, he also recalled the Human Ranking and Earth Ranking mentioned earlier by the two young Heavenly Kings of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan and Jian Tian. These seemed to be standard ranking lists for measuring the talents of the myriad races.
Among them, the two young Heavenly Kings were both qualified to be listed on the Human Ranking, while Jian Tian even claimed to be ranked 97th on the Earth Ranking, which seemed to be much more formidable.
It was necessary for him to understand this. His knowledge of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was still far too limited, and the Xia Sang Tribe was merely an insignificant human tribe with only a general understanding of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
To truly understand, he needed to learn for himself.
*Crack!*
Ye Chen directly slapped the Yin-Yang Divine Swords, roughly and simply erasing the Dao imprints left by Jian Tian upon them. From then on, this pair of Yin-Yang Divine Swords became ownerless items, which he stored within his internal space.
Far away in the depths of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, a place vast and boundless, any single Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain was far more expansive than the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. This was also the location where the one hundred and eight Ancient God Clans and the three thousand royal clans, the pinnacle of the pyramid among the myriad races, were situated.
Here, the land was desolate for a hundred thousand li, with barren mountains standing tall. Endless dark, gloomy mists perpetually shrouded this desolate region, making it cold and bleak throughout the year.
Especially in this area, there were countless large and small bleached-white skeletons, the remains of countless unknown creatures buried here, resembling a zone of death.
This place was precisely the settlement of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan, one of the three thousand royal clans.
This was an extremely powerful royal clan, second only to the one hundred and eight Ancient God Clans, holding extremely high prestige among the myriad races.
Within a majestic mountain of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan, its entire body pale as bone, stood the famous Celestial Bone Mountain, where only important members of the royal clan were permitted to enter.
At this moment, within a cultivation cave dwelling on the Celestial Bone Mountain—the cultivation place of the royal clan's peerless Heaven's Pride, Jian Tian.
Jian Tian was a rare peerless Heaven's Pride of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan throughout the ages. At a young age, he had stepped into the realm of Great Powers, and now he was a super Heaven's Pride ranked 97th on the Earth Ranking. Among the countless Heaven's Prides of the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, he was an extremely prominent figure. He was also the designated next chieftain of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan by the current clan chieftain, bearing great hopes. In the future, he could prove the Dao and become an emperor, leading the entire Bone Heavenly Demon Clan to rise and become another glorious imperial clan within the alien ancient universe.
However, unknown to anyone, within the cultivation cave dwelling, Jian Tian suddenly opened his eyes and even spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion pale.
Those eyes were not dim but instead blazed with intense killing intent: "Who dares to destroy my divine power avatar, annihilate my divine sense power, and seize my Yin-Yang Divine Swords?"
Regarding everything that happened countless li away, Jian Tian could not know either, as only a divine power avatar and a strand of divine sense power had gone there, unable to transmit information back.
However, at the moment the final strand of divine sense power on the Sun God Sword was destroyed, it became sentient, forcibly transmitting some image fragments back to his original body's mind. Vaguely visible was a majestic man of divine bearing, with a tall and slender figure, eyes as deep as the Chaos Sea, and a faint moon mark faintly discernible between his brows.
It was him, descending from the heavens, stepping on the Sun God Sword, destroying his divine sense power!
Although he did not know exactly who this young man with the moon mark between his brows was, he felt some apprehension. The impression transmitted back by the final strand of divine sense power made him very grave. That person was most likely a peerless powerhouse.
Yet Jian Tian snorted coldly: "Although I don't know who you are, to dare destroy my divine power avatar, sever my divine sense, and obstruct my grand plan to ascend to the heavens is bold enough. Once I leave seclusion and investigate the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain a little, I will learn what kind of identity you possess."
On this day, the peerless Heaven's Pride of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan, Jian Tian, left seclusion!
Having dealt with the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan, which also resolved a potential great crisis for the Xia Sang Tribe, Ye Chen felt at ease to leave. He did not linger any longer and proactively bid farewell to depart.
Clearly, the tribespeople were somewhat reluctant to see him go.
Over these past few days, although Ye Chen and the others possessed cultivation that transcended the ordinary and entered the sacred, they were approachable and without any airs of superiority. They had even proactively guided the tribespeople in resolving their cultivation difficulties, allowing the members of the Xia Sang Tribe to greatly improve their cultivation levels.
Even the chieftain and several tribal elders like Xia Hao had swallowed their pride to seek guidance. Even the cultivation difficulties of Saint Realm experts like them were often resolved with a single enlightening pointer from Ye Chen and the others, with many past cultivation problems being effortlessly solved.
Therefore, Ye Chen and the others' departure left them very reluctant.
However, the tribespeople also knew that Ye Chen and the others aspired to compete among the younger generation, so they did not obstruct them. They merely kindly said that if there was an opportunity in the future, they could return to the Xia Sang Tribe, where they would be warmly welcomed.
Ye Chen naturally agreed!
Before leaving, he inspected the Xia Sang Tribe's Clan Protection Grand Formation. He learned that in the past, the Xia Sang Tribe had also produced super powerhouses who left behind a Heavenly King-level Clan Protection Grand Formation for the tribe.
Moreover, later, more than one Heavenly King appeared, continuously modifying and perfecting it, resulting in the current Clan Protection Grand Formation.
Let alone ordinary Heavenly Kings, even super Heavenly Kings above the Seventh Heaven would not be able to break through the Clan Protection Grand Formation in a short time.
However, in the eyes of a Chaos Great Power like Ye Chen, it still contained many flaws. Although the many powerhouses sent by the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan had been annihilated, dealing them a heavy blow and a severe lesson, hoping they would retreat in the face of difficulties, he still worried about the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan making a comeback. Therefore, Ye Chen personally modified it, making it much more perfect. Its defensive capability was such that not only could it withstand the Heavenly King Realm, but it was already sufficient to block ordinary Great Power experts.
Finally, he even left behind a golden jade token containing a drop of his Chaos Saint Blood. He informed the chieftain and several elders of the Xia Sang Tribe that if they encountered any trouble in the future, they only needed to crush the token. As long as the enemy was not an overly terrifying powerhouse, everything would be resolved.
After completing all this, Ye Chen, along with his three subordinate Supreme Talents, drifted away, truly beginning his advance into the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
