"Arrogant!"
"Truly an ignorant youngster, a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger."
The powerhouses of the various major forces frowned, yet only a few truly understood Ye Chen's genuine strength.
However, for these older generation figures, and with so many of them together, to take action against a junior would be beneath their dignity.
At this moment, Ancient Luo King suddenly stepped forward, cupping his fists towards the various major forces. "Esteemed Seniors, I, Luo Wusheng, wish to take action and slay this arrogant brat."
Jian Tian also stepped forward. "Jian Tian is also willing to slay this brat."
"Tuoba Mo is also willing to slay this arrogant brat!"
"Ouyang Guhua is also willing to slay this one!"
One after another, several super Heaven's Prides from the Earth Ranking stepped forward, all hailing from powerful royal clans, all expressing their desire to kill Ye Chen.
However, Hua Yuntian of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty did not step forward, which surprised some.
"Good, permission granted."
The various royal clans had great confidence in their own clan's Heaven's Prides. All were super Heaven's Prides ranked within the top hundred of the Earth Ranking, naturally first-rate in power. They believed a mere Ye Chen could be slain.
Moreover, in this great era of contention, these juniors taking action now could be considered an alternative form of competition.
Ancient Luo King, Jian Tian, and a total of six super Heaven's Prides from six royal clans stepped forward. They were the hopes of their respective royal clans, future clan leaders, naturally powerful.
Yet, looking at these so-called six royal clan super Heaven's Prides, Ye Chen's expression was indifferent, looking down upon them from on high. "I'll give you a chance—"
"Scram!"
The word 'scram' exploded like heavenly thunder, deafening.
The expressions of the six royal clan super Heaven's Prides instantly turned cold. To look down on them like this was truly seeking death.
"Truly arrogant enough, but today you will inevitably be slain by me!"
Ancient Luo King was the first to charge forward, drawing the war blade from his back. Surging blade energy and boundless battle intent erupted immediately as he slashed out a mighty, vast river of blades. The blade light formed a river, containing an all-pervasive aura of deathly stillness—the Dao of Deathly Stillness he had cultivated.
From the first move, it was an absolutely terrifying, ruthless attack.
Even a Fifth Heaven Great Power would have to avoid its sharp edge when facing this blade.
This was the strength of a royal clan super Heaven's Pride.
"One sword is the sun, one sword is the moon, severing Yin and Yang, Yin-Yang Reincarnation Slash!"
Jian Tian also roared violently. Two Divine Swords reappeared in his hands, identical to before—the Sun Divine Sword and the Moon Divine Sword. They contained terrifying Yin and Yang power, transforming into a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram that fiercely slashed towards Ye Chen.
Tuoba Mo, Ouyang Guhua, and the other royal clan super Heaven's Prides all took action, jointly attacking Ye Chen.
In an instant, the attacks of the six royal clan super Heaven's Prides all fell upon Ye Chen. All were young Great Powers, their combat power excessively strong. That stretch of heaven and earth was completely submerged, plunged into terrifying destruction. Even some Seventh Heaven Great Powers would feel their hearts pounding.
The six royal clan super Heaven's Prides taking action could even battle a super Great Power of the Seventh Heaven.
Seeing this scene, many powerhouses inwardly nodded in admiration.
No wonder they were qualified to become the future clan leaders of their respective royal clans, carrying great hopes. They indeed had the capital for confidence.
This time, no matter how dazzling this Ye Tianchen was, he would likely be annihilated, body and soul destroyed.
Even the various major forces were prepared to contend for the Emperor Ring he would leave behind.
Only Yang Yao in the distant sky slowly curled his lips into a cold smile, while the powerhouses of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty also wore indifferent expressions.
Boom—
When all the destructive light dispersed, Ye Chen stood there motionless, his clothes neat and spotless. Even the void within a one-zhang radius around him remained perfectly intact, showing no signs of destruction or collapse.
"What!?"
"He didn't suffer any damage at all!?"
"That's impossible!"
The various major forces revealed shocked expressions. The six royal clan super Heaven's Prides had jointly attacked, displaying absolutely terrifying killing moves, yet they hadn't harmed Ye Chen in the slightest. Wasn't this too unbelievable?
The six royal clan super Heaven's Prides were even more so, utterly shocked. How could this be?
Ye Chen's eyes revealed strands of brilliant light, dazzling the world in an instant. A terrifyingly overwhelming aura suddenly erupted, sweeping towards the six royal clan super Heaven's Prides. To their horror, they discovered that under this vast pressure, they could hardly move their bodies at all, as if trapped in a quagmire.
Ye Chen's cold voice echoed in the minds of the six: "A mere group of cultivators at the Third or Fourth Heaven Great Power level dares to attack me? I already told you to scram, yet you still dared to attack. Now, I bestow death upon you!"
A Chaos Divine Sword appeared in his hand, completely condensed from his own blood energy. Then he swung it fiercely.
Boom—
A dazzling river of sword light appeared, mighty and vast, stretching who knows how many li. Carrying the majestic, boundless divine might of the sword Dao, it rumbled as it slashed towards the six royal clan super Heaven's Prides.
The six felt a bone-chilling sense of fatal crisis, a sense of crisis that penetrated deep into their souls. They looked at Ye Chen in horror, shouting, "No—"
"Brat, you're seeking death!"
Luo Yingu's expression changed. At this moment, a powerful figure from each of the six royal clans shot out—all were powerful Sixth Heaven Great Powers. They landed in front of their respective royal clan super Heaven's Prides, blocking Ye Chen's river of sword light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The super powerhouses of the six royal clans were forcefully shaken back. They looked at Ye Chen gravely, also showing some surprise, as if they hadn't expected this junior's cultivation to be so powerful. The six of them appearing had almost been unable to withstand it.
However, they also took the opportunity to bring their respective royal clan super Heaven's Prides back, avoiding calamity!
Ye Chen shook his head, speaking lightly: "Truly pitifully weak. If not for your elders stepping forward to block, you would have perished long ago. With just this level of strength, you dare to contend for the 'Supreme One' immortal fate? How laughable."
Hearing this, the expressions of the six royal clan super Heaven's Prides changed repeatedly, extremely ugly, yet also filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
Because in fact, it was truly so.
But they were equally shocked. They never expected Ye Tianchen to be so powerful. Facing him, if not for their clan elders' intervention, perhaps even the six of them combined wouldn't be a match for a single exchange. They might very likely have been slain.
Could he be a peer of the Emperor's Child level, a strongest young supreme existence?
This level of strength made them feel a vast, mountain-like gap.
Immediately, Ye Chen's gaze no longer fell upon them, as if he never considered them worthy of attention. This attitude made their expressions even uglier. Their fists clenched tightly, they remained silent, wordless.
The gazes of the various major forces towards Ye Chen also held a bit more gravity, as if they too hadn't anticipated Ye Chen to be this powerful.
It was only then that Luo Yingu remembered something, his expression changing: "Elder Luo Can hasn't returned. Could it be—"
He looked at Ye Chen in shock, disbelief growing.
Ye Chen gave him a cold smile: "A mere Seventh Heaven dares to assassinate me? Of course, I killed him."
