Boom—
Boom—
Although its might had been greatly diminished, the self-destruction of a Divine King was still terrifying beyond imagination.
Boundless light of destruction directly swept across a region of the extraterrestrial starry sky spanning nearly ten million li, surging with overwhelming force.
The countless stars within this star domain were all affected, shattering and exploding one after another, dissolving into the very light of destruction.
The most terrifying force of the Divine King's self-destruction pulverized the entire star domain, plunging everything into silent annihilation.
The Five Divine Kings dared not approach in the slightest.
Once submerged within it, although this destructive power might not be enough to kill Divine Kings of their level, they would inevitably pay a heavy price. Moreover, even if they charged in at this moment, it would be difficult to rescue Ye Chen from the very epicenter.
"Little Yue!"
"Master!"
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and the Nine Supreme Geniuses soared into the sky one after another, plunging into this star domain. Watching the destructive light that could make even Divine Kings tremble run rampant, they almost charged in themselves, but were stopped by the Five Divine Kings.
Within such destructive light, anyone below the Divine King level who entered would almost certainly meet their end.
Rumble—
The boundless power of the Divine King's self-destruction raged for a long time, until it completely incinerated and collapsed an entire star domain, reducing everything to ashes.
A considerable amount of time passed before this destructive light finally began to gradually weaken.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Five Divine Kings, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, A Beinu, and the others seized the opportunity to charge in, disregarding the lingering danger, solely to find Ye Chen.
Entering this star domain filled with ash, they found only a deathly silent aura, an empty expanse, with only vast swathes of destructive light still raging incessantly.
"Little Yue!"
"Battle Saint King!"
"Master!"
Everyone searched, calling out repeatedly, but for a long time, they received no response, giving them a bad premonition.
Soon, they found Ye Chen's figure on a burning star, flickering amidst the destructive flames.
With a whoosh, everyone rushed over.
Upon arrival, they saw Ye Chen sitting cross-legged in the void, his entire body charred black, flesh torn and mangled, his aura feeble, severely injured—but alive. He had survived without fatal wounds, which felt incredible.
After all, the final self-destructive power of the two Alien Emperor Clan Divine Kings was still equivalent to the self-destruction of a First Tribulation Divine King.
At this moment, Ye Chen had long since summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron, steaming within the destructive flames as if being refined. Its entire body flowed with brilliant chaotic light, with the imprints of various powerhouses appearing vivid and lifelike, making it seem increasingly extraordinary.
It could be seen that as time passed, this Chaos Great Cauldron had become sentient, radiating spiritual light, appearing exceptionally transcendent.
The group rushed forward and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Chen was unharmed, having truly worried he might have perished in the explosion.
However, they were also amazed by Ye Chen's incredible luck, surviving the self-destruction of two Divine Kings—this was no ordinary stroke of fortune.
Moreover, they were shocked by his audacity; at such a time, he still had the composure to refine the Chaos Great Cauldron.
After a long while, Ye Chen put away the Chaos Great Cauldron. Though he appeared disheveled, his eyes were sharp and spirited, as if they could pierce through all things in the world.
Only then did he circulate the Saint Body Regeneration Art to heal his injuries and change into fresh clothes.
"Little Yue."
The others wanted to ask more, but Ye Chen said, "Let's talk after we return."
Whoosh—
Everyone descended from the sky, returning to Myriad Saints City, attracting the attention of all.
Today had truly witnessed too many shocking events, but one thing was beyond doubt: the name of the Battle Saint King would completely explode throughout the Ten Heaven Realm Ancient Domain.
Because of him, the powerhouses sent by the Three Alien Emperor Clans, including their three Divine Kings, had been captured in one fell swoop, completely annihilated.
Especially since he had independently slain a Divine King existence. Even if he had used other means, this elevated his status to a level not inferior to that of a Divine King, a height that all Great Powers would look up to.
At this moment, Ye Chen walked over to the Zhou Tian Clan Leader.
"Fellow Daoist Ye!" the Zhou Tian Clan Leader said.
It was 'Fellow Daoist,' not 'Little Friend'—a term of equality, because Ye Chen had killed Mohe Guhua, forcing him to reevaluate this peerless Heaven's Pride.
He had to admit, this youth was truly monstrous and world-shaking. Not long ago, he had advised him to leave Myriad Saints City early and not linger, lest danger arise.
But the facts had proven that Ye Chen possessed means unafraid of Divine Kings and had the support of the Five Divine Kings, making him extraordinary.
However, Ye Chen did not become arrogant because of this. He still treated the Zhou Tian Clan Leader with great respect, as the latter had helped him immensely. He now offered the courtesy of a junior: "Please, Senior, do not humble this junior."
This form of address placed himself very low, becoming the junior of the Zhou Tian Clan Leader, and he no longer referred to him as Clan Leader Zhou.
The Zhou Tian Clan Leader's eyes gleamed with brilliance, his favor towards Ye Chen growing even more. He did not stand on ceremony: "Little Friend, is there anything this old man can help you with?"
Ye Chen was concise: "I ask Senior to immediately open the Domain Heaven Gate."
Now that such a major incident had occurred, and Myriad Saints City was one of the few Eternal Divine Cities in the Second Heaven Realm Ancient Domain, the speed of information dissemination would inevitably be rapid. News would quickly spread deep into the Ten Heaven Realm Ancient Domain, surely attracting pursuit by even stronger members of the Alien Emperor Clans. The appearance of an Ancient Monarch was not out of the question.
Therefore, Ye Chen needed to leave as soon as possible.
"Agreed," the Zhou Tian Clan Leader nodded. "But it will require some time. It can truly be opened by tomorrow noon."
Ye Chen nodded. It was now late at night; tomorrow noon was only six hours away, not a very long time.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen politely sought the Zhou Tian Clan Leader's opinion to seal off Myriad Saints City, trying to slow the spread of the news.
The Zhou Tian Clan Leader knew that with the Five Divine Kings as his foundation, Ye Chen had no need to ask—he could directly and forcefully seal the city. But seeing him as a grateful person, his favor grew even more, and he naturally agreed.
However, Ye Chen did not wish to implicate the Zhoutian Clan. All Five Divine Kings stepped forward, arriving beside the Zhou Tian Clan Leader, releasing their Divine King pressure. To the outside world, it would appear as if Ye Chen was coercing him, and the Zhou Tian Clan Leader had no choice but to agree.
All of this was seen by the Zhou Tian Clan Leader, who increasingly felt that the Battle Saint King was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness, worthy of befriending.
The Five Divine Kings had long since acted, sealing off the entire Myriad Saints City. Moreover, the old Divine King—the one capable of blocking transmissions—made his move, enveloping the entire Myriad Saints City so that no information could spread to the outside world.
"During this time, I must trouble everyone to cooperate. Once we leave, the seal on Myriad Saints City will be lifted."
Ye Chen's voice resonated throughout Myriad Saints City. Naturally, none of the various powerhouses dared to oppose, including the experts of the Cang Emperor Clan and another Immortal Clan, who all complied.
For the remaining six hours, Ye Chen borrowed a secluded chamber from the Zhoutian Clan to enter closed-door cultivation and recover.
