Upon the Emperor's Throne, Will's expression turned somber. The crimson-gold Emperor's Crown flowed with the eternal, indestructible majesty of the Emperor's Dao. He was like an ancient Great Emperor overlooking the mortal world, causing the nine Emperor Pillars to tremble.
From them surged nine strands of the Emperor's Dao's mighty power, enveloping the entire shattered Emperor World, preventing this realm—already fractured from the Emperor-level battle—from collapsing further.
At the same time, Will could not allow the Emperor World to bear this vast destructive force; it would undoubtedly cause immense damage to the already broken realm. With no other choice, he let out a soft sigh, resonated with the Emperor's Crown, tore open the void of the shattered Emperor World, and expelled all the destructive power, consigning it to the endless spatial turbulence.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A terrifying, unimaginable destructive force suddenly boiled up within the endless spatial turbulence, surging across an expanse of at least tens of millions of li.
Within the endless spatial turbulence existed numerous small worlds and even the Origin Worlds of Great Powers, some of which were in this region. Under this boundless destructive force, they were all swept over and directly shredded into nothingness.
The Great Powers whose Origin Worlds were shattered all turned deathly pale, spitting out blood as their cultivation bases plummeted.
Only by evolving their Origin Worlds into Origin Realms could they advance further, stepping towards the Ancient Sovereign realm.
Now that their Origin Worlds were gone, how could they become Sovereigns?
The terrifying collision force eventually dissipated slowly, and the Four Symbols World Seal vanished.
The nine Divine Kings of the imperial clans stood in the sky, holding Monarch Immortal Weapons, resplendent like immortal suns hanging in the air, illuminating the entire shattered Emperor World.
Behind them, the eight Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were protected and remained unharmed.
"Young Ancestors, please return immediately. This is no place to linger!"
The Nine Tribulation Divine Kings of the eight imperial clans and the Immortal Clan spoke, their tones grave. The opponent was too terrifying; the nine of them had only managed to withstand the attack by relying on the awakened Monarch Immortal Weapons. Otherwise, they would have been annihilated.
Mohe Imperial Princess, Hua Chengdao, and the others nodded.
The Nine Tribulation Divine King of the Polo Imperial Clan suddenly asked, "Where is my clan's Young Ancestor?"
The other Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants from the other imperial clans and Immortal Clan were safe, but Polo Imperial Son had vanished.
Previously, he had been focused on resisting the immense power of the shattered Emperor World and hadn't noticed immediately, but now he realized.
"Polo Potian was suppressed by the Battle Saint King," Mohe Imperial Princess said.
The Polo Divine King's expression changed. "The Imperial Son is invincible. Who is this Battle Saint King that he could suppress our Young Ancestor?"
Clearly, much of the information about Ye Chen was largely confined to the younger generation, known only to the Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants. Others hadn't learned much.
On the other side, the Nine Tribulation Divine King of the Mohe Imperial Clan said, "Polo Gushuang, have you forgotten the incident at the Tenth Emperor Pass of the Sealed Universe a hundred years ago?"
Suddenly, Polo Divine King understood, shocked, then his face darkened. "So it's that remnant of the Battle Saint lineage! A hundred years ago, he obstructed our world's grand plan and also blocked our world's Great Emperor from descending in the Fallen Emperor Battlefield. To think he came back to life and has now even suppressed my clan's Imperial Son. What a damned little beast."
Then he looked at the other Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants, his gaze still cold. "Why did you stand by and watch my clan's Imperial Son be suppressed without intervening?"
"Enough, Polo Gushuang! What do you mean by this? Showing disrespect to my clan's Imperial Princess Young Ancestor?"
"It's your clan's Imperial Son Young Ancestor who was incompetent and got suppressed. Who can you blame?"
"Dare to disrespect my clan's Young Ancestor again, and we'll kill you!"
The other Nine Tribulation Divine Kings of the imperial clans and Immortal Clan were icy. The Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants were the supreme, peerless figures of their respective clans, descendants of ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals with matchless bloodlines. How could outsiders bully them?
Polo Gushuang's expression turned ugly, naturally not daring to argue further.
At this moment, Mohe Imperial Princess spoke gravely, "It wasn't that we refused to save him, but that we were powerless at the time."
Her words immediately caused the other Nine Tribulation Divine Kings to be stunned.
"How so?"
"The Battle Saint King is too powerful!" Mohe Imperial Princess said, pausing before adding, "In a one-on-one, fair duel, I am no match for him!"
These words immediately caused the nine Divine Kings' expressions to change, filled with shock.
The dignified Imperial Princess of a supreme imperial clan, the Mohe Imperial Princess who was absolutely invincible at the same level, actually admitted that in a one-on-one, fair duel, she was no match for the Battle Saint King!?
It had to be said, this was a rather shocking statement. Was the current inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage from the broken Sealed Universe truly that fearsome?
What was also surprising was that the other Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants did not voice any objection, instead falling into an eerie silence.
The various Nine Tribulation Divine Kings exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unconcealed astonishment.
It was Polo Divine King who spoke, breaking the strange silence, his voice cold. "No matter how monstrous he is, he's still just an undeveloped Battle Saint. Moreover, he dares to suppress my clan's Imperial Son and is a remnant of the Sealed Universe. No matter what, we cannot let him go today. He must be suppressed and killed."
Boom!
The Monarch Immortal Weapon he had brought began to awaken, accompanied by billowing, sky-reaching demonic light, as if a demon god had emerged, shaking the vast land for hundreds of thousands of li around.
The Mohe Imperial Clan and Polo Imperial Clan both originated from the alien races, both being alien imperial clans. Naturally, they would not stand idly by and also continued awakening their Monarch Immortal Weapons.
"Young Ancestors!"
The other Nine Tribulation Divine Kings of the imperial clans and Immortal Clan looked towards their respective Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and other Young Ancestors. Their primary purpose in coming was to take their Young Ancestors away; other objectives were secondary.
"Retreat!"
Longevity Imperial Son was the most decisive. Although he had suffered Will's attack, due to having Emperor Treasures on his person, he wasn't much harmed. Moreover, he was the most astute, knowing that even with nine Nine Tribulation Divine Kings holding Monarch Immortal Weapons, they likely couldn't do much against Will on the Emperor's Throne.
And most importantly, who knew what kind of contingency the fallen ancient Great Emperor had left for his successor?
Imperial Son Hua Chengdao, Hao Gongtian, Life Imperial Son, and the other six Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants all chose to retreat.
"Understood!"
The Nine Tribulation Divine Kings of the seven clans nodded, directly tearing open the void and leaving with their clans' Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants.
Upon the Emperor's Throne, Will was peerless, mastering the immeasurable power of the entire shattered Emperor World. He wanted to strike because these people had besieged Ye Chen, nearly causing his death. Ye Chen was Will's brother, naturally not to be let off.
But Ye Chen stopped Will, shaking his head at him.
He understood better than anyone that trying to keep all nine imperial clans' Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants at once was almost impossible. Not to mention the Nine Tribulation Divine Kings of the various imperial clans and Immortal Clan holding Monarch Immortal Weapons, if the Supreme Emperor Weapons behind them were mobilized, even this shattered Emperor World probably couldn't withstand it and would completely collapse and shatter.
This was not something he wished to see.
Know when to stop.
Will nodded, giving up on attacking, allowing the seven imperial clans' and Immortal Clan's Divine Kings to leave safely with their clans' Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants.
Seeing this, Polo Divine King's expression grew even more somber, but he did not speak, as none of these imperial clans or the Immortal Clan were the slightest bit weaker than the Polo Imperial Clan.
The Nine Tribulation Divine King of the Mohe Imperial Clan sighed softly, speaking to Mohe Imperial Princess, "Young Ancestor, please leave as well. This place is too dangerous."
"Alright!"
Mohe Imperial Princess knew she couldn't be of help here either and turned to rush towards the Mohe Imperial Clan's spatial channel.
"Trying to leave?"
On the Emperor's Throne, Will sneered coldly, his gaze icy. This was a great enemy of the entire Sealed Universe; how could he let them leave so peacefully?
Boom!
Infinite power of the Emperor World boiled forth, transforming into a sky-grasping giant hand that slapped towards Mohe Imperial Princess.
"Scram!"
The two Nine Tribulation Divine Kings of the Polo Imperial Clan and Mohe Imperial Clan, holding their awakened Monarch Immortal Weapons like boundless, resplendent suns, shot straight up into the sky, forcefully blasting towards that sky-grasping hand, exploding with boundless destructive power.
On the Emperor's Throne, Will frowned, wanting to continue attacking, but Ye Chen sent a mental message: "Will, you've just inherited the Emperor's Dao legacy. You're not yet proficient in controlling the Emperor World's power. Over-manipulating it is not good for you."
Although Will had mastered the origin power of the shattered Emperor World, it was only a recent acquisition. How could he master it so easily and thoroughly? Even Ye Chen, when he first obtained the Ancient Blue Great World, was the same.
Will fell silent, then said helplessly, "So we just let this Mohe Imperial Princess leave so peacefully?"
"No, we won't," Ye Chen suddenly said.
Will was startled, then understood. "I'll send you over."
Swish—
On the Emperor's Throne, Will extended a finger, pointing forward. Then, visibly, the void shattered, and a spatial channel appeared. He said, "Qian Yue, go."
Whoosh—
Ye Chen shot into the spatial channel like lightning and vanished.
At the same time, on the other side, just as Mohe Imperial Princess had stepped into the spatial channel, suddenly, the void above shattered open, attracting everyone's attention.
Whoosh—
At the same moment, Ye Chen's figure shot up like a startled swan, landing within the spatial channel.
"Battle Saint King!"
In the other spatial channels, the various clans' Nine Tribulation Divine Kings, Emperor Sons and Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants who hadn't completely left yet were all shocked. They hadn't expected the Battle Saint King to dare appear here.
However, they didn't step out of the rapidly closing spatial channels, knowing full well that Will on the Emperor's Throne was watching. If he attacked this Battle Saint King, probably none of them would be able to leave.
On the other side, the Nine Tribulation Divine King of the Mohe Imperial Clan and the Polo Imperial Clan's Nine Tribulation Divine King saw this and widened their eyes, filled with fury.
"Beast of the Battle Saint lineage, you still dare to attack? This sovereign will send you to the afterlife today!"
The two alien imperial clans' Nine Tribulation Divine Kings both wanted to attack Ye Chen. This was a great opportunity, a perfect chance to kill the current inheritor of the Battle Saint lineage.
But an even more vast power of the Emperor World surged forth, swiftly condensing in the sky into a World Pagoda, as if the entire shattered Emperor World's power had gathered together. With boundless pressure, it crashed down.
Boom!
The two imperial clans' Nine Tribulation Divine Kings were heavily smashed down, crashing into the Emperor World's ground, creating two craters hundreds of thousands of li wide, sending clouds of dust into the sky.
Naturally, due to the Monarch Immortal Weapons, the two alien imperial clan Divine Kings wouldn't be killed so easily. But at this moment, they were suppressed by the World Pagoda, unable to move or attack.
"It's you!" Seeing Ye Chen's appearance, Mohe Imperial Princess's expression immediately changed.
