The so-called rule about the older generation not being allowed to intervene was, in fact, quite targeted.
For the likes of Imperial Sons and Daughters, or children of the Immortal Dao—the strongest young supreme beings—the restrictions were much more lenient. After all, everyone understood that the combat power of such supreme talents could not be measured by common sense.
However, there was also a limitation: if the intervening elder was too powerful, such as the true body of an Ancient Monarch descending, the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls would not sit idly by and would certainly step in to prevent it.
It was precisely because of this that one could increasingly sense the terrifying nature of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls.
Even after learning Ye Chen's identity as the Battle Saint King, creating a situation of life-and-death enmity, the three Alien Emperor Clan Ancient Monarchs were willing to act at all costs, yet they were all stopped by the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls. This gave one an idea of just how fearsome a transcendent force the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls were, even completely surpassing the 108 Ancient God Clans.
Ye Chen looked at Will with surprise and suspicion, seemingly puzzled as to why he knew so much.
Will didn't hide it, saying helplessly, "Before I met you again, I was once hunted by an Ancient Monarch. Later, a powerhouse from the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls intervened and stopped it all."
"You were hunted by an Ancient Monarch too?"
Ye Chen was stunned, and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was dumbfounded. The Seven Supreme Geniuses reacted the same way.
Will shrugged, somewhat helplessly. "I pursued a goddess and successfully stole a kiss. Later, I found out she was an Imperial Daughter."
"Was it really just a simple kiss?" Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor doubted. An Ancient Monarch wouldn't be so enraged as to personally hunt down a junior for just that.
"It was just a kiss. Yes, that's all."
But as he said this, Will's gaze clearly evaded theirs.
Ye Chen and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor exchanged a glance. They were both familiar with Will's character and felt there was more to the story, but it wasn't appropriate to press further.
With the destruction of the Sovereign projections, the crisis in Zhoutian City was resolved.
Fortunately, the Domain Heaven Gate was not shattered and could still be used, allowing Ye Chen and the others to set off for the Eighth Heaven Realm Ancient Domain.
That was the region where the Imperial Son Feast was to be held.
However, after the incident with the three Alien Emperor Clans, the Zhoutian Clan was now also targeted, their situation quite precarious. This worried Ye Chen, and for the moment, he needed to consider a solution.
He had already implicated the Zhoutian Clan; he couldn't irresponsibly just leave without a care.
Seeing this, Will smiled slightly. "Qianyue, you don't need to worry too much. Leave this matter to me."
"Hmm?" Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.
Will said, "The forces within the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm have now been basically integrated. And as you said, we need a force not inferior to an imperial clan to operate effectively within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. Therefore, I plan to connect to the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain and truly manifest the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm in the mortal world."
Originally, after Will became the master of the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm, the countless powerhouses who had entered it were enslaved, becoming his servants and forming the foundational force for establishing a supreme power.
Now that the overall force had been integrated, the power of the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm could basically be manifested in the mortal world, potentially choosing the Second Heaven Realm Ancient Domain.
Now that the Zhoutian Clan was also threatened by the three Alien Emperor Clans, Zhoutian City could conveniently become the branch of the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm's force within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. Combined with the Zhoutian Clan's own power, the overall strength would take another step forward.
Moreover, the Zhoutian Clan controlled the Domain Heaven Gate, allowing them to appear anywhere within the eight Heaven Realm Ancient Domains of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain (excluding the First and the most mysterious Tenth) at any time, providing ample convenience.
With the addition of the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm, the Zhoutian Clan no longer needed to fear action from the three Alien Emperor Clans. In a sense, the Zhoutian Clan would become even stronger.
Furthermore, the Crimson Scale Dragon Clan could also receive protection and no longer needed to hide within the Dragon Tomb World.
Ye Chen sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected the Ni Qiang Emperor Realm to be so thoroughly integrated by Will in such a short time. Clearly, there were capable and wise individuals helping Will manage various affairs.
"Have you thought of a name for the force?" Ye Chen asked.
"You choose one," Will smiled.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. "How about... the Radiant Emperor Domain?"
"Good!"
Will agreed immediately. Radiant—wasn't that his former title, the Radiant King?
Thus, a name for a supreme force that could shock the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain emerged from Ye Chen's lips.
In the following time, Ye Chen did not leave. The Domain Heaven Gate was temporarily closed as he helped Will handle some affairs.
Meanwhile, the various events that had occurred in Zhoutian City, after the departure of the many powerhouses, spread throughout the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain at an astonishing speed.
The Battle Saint King appeared in Zhoutian City, under the name 'Qian', refined a ninth-grade divine pill, slew three Alien Emperor Clan old antiques, displaying an invincible bearing.
He then confronted the Fudo Imperial Clan's Divine King Guhua, battled in an unknown region, emerged victorious, and slew a generation's Divine King.
The Divine Kings of the Boro Imperial Clan and Fudo Imperial Clan perished in self-destruction.
Projections of three Alien Emperor Clan Ancient Monarchs descended, all shattered, returning empty-handed...
News after news spread continuously. Each piece of news would have been enough to shake the world at any time, and now they were all spreading simultaneously throughout the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Boom—
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves!
Without a doubt, these were incomparably shocking tidings.
The entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was boiling.
However, overlooking other details, everyone focused on one key point.
The Battle Saint King had appeared in Zhoutian City and, alone, challenged a One Tribulation Divine King of the Maha Imperial Clan, successfully slaying him!
This piece of news was far more shocking than all the others.
Because while the other news had some trace to follow, no one knew the true process of the Battle Saint King slaying Divine King Guhua. Yet the final result was Divine King Guhua's demise.
Did the Battle Saint King possess the invincible combat power to slay a Divine King?
Undoubtedly, this was the most shocking point.
Divine Kings stood high above. Any major force possessing such an existence could claim to be a kingly clan, nearly invincible in battle.
Such Divine King existences, supreme beings that required the reverence and worship of countless mortals—currently, no one among the younger generation had achieved this.
In the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain where Imperial Sons, Daughters, and children of the Immortal Dao coexisted, no news had yet spread of anyone else accomplishing this.
But the Battle Saint King had done it. Did he truly rely on his own strength?
It was unbelievable and sparked countless speculations and doubts.
After all, no one witnessed the actual process; there was only a result.
"Impossible! The Battle Saint King might be able to suppress Imperial Sons and Daughters, but he cannot possibly slay a Divine King!"
"What kind of existence is a Divine King? The Battle Saint King's strength is only at the level of a Super Great Power. How could he cross so many realms to perform a reverse-slaying of an immortal?"
"Clearly, the Battle Saint King merely used some unknown method to slay the Divine King."
Countless members of the younger generation in the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain refused to believe it, including the older generation as well.
What kind of existence was a Divine King? A member of the younger generation, no matter how dazzling or monstrous, they did not believe could achieve this.
Even if the Battle Saint King could suppress the Boro Imperial Son and Maha Imperial Daughter.
This was simply an impossible event.
At the same time, a Divine King also spoke out: "The Battle Saint King may be peerlessly unmatched, invincible within the same realm, able to suppress other supreme young talents. But a Great Power is a Great Power. How could he rely on strength to slay a Divine King existence? Even a One Tribulation Divine King requires a Great Power to look up to."
This gained the agreement of countless people.
Divine Kings were invincible—this was the common understanding. The gap between a Great Power and a Divine King was as vast as heaven and earth, fundamentally insurmountable.
In the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, the various Imperial Sons, Daughters, and children of the Immortal Dao, all within this infinite ancient domain created by emperors and supreme immortals, received this news, revealing different expressions.
"Slain a Divine King, has he?"
Deep within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, there was a land of death. Within it stood an immortal figure like a God Demon, appearing very young yet radiating an invincible pressure that forbade approach, like an emperor descending upon the mortal dust.
As his words echoed, all the Great Daos of this heaven and earth trembled, as if feeling terror, prostrating in submission.
In another mysterious ancient land, a demon king-like figure appeared. Before him lay the fallen figures of many Great Powers, their blood staining this heaven and earth.
His entire body radiated an incomparably sinister and evil aura. He was an Imperial Son of an alien race. Upon receiving the news, he coldly said, "Truly slain a Divine King? Battle Saint King, even you as you are now, I will still kill you to avenge that year's grudge!"
As his voice fell, he lifted a Super Great Power with one hand as if grabbing a chick, and squeezed.
Boom—
Blood light surged!
A Super Great Power was thus easily strangled.
The Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain's territory was nearly infinite. The closer one got to the deeper Heaven Realm Ancient Domains, the more vast and boundless the territory became, unimaginably large.
Naturally, there were also places of incredible wonder.
Among them, within a dead land filled with fallen God Demons, those towering, pitch-black mountain ranges were all God Demon burial grounds.
Each mountain represented the tomb of a God Demon.
The God Demon burial grounds were filled with an aura of absolute death. Even peak Great Powers dared not easily set foot in such a place,could be called / deemed a forbidden land where those who entered faced nine deaths for one chance of life.
Yet at the very center of the God Demon burial grounds, there was no aura of deathly stillness, no pitch-black demonic energy, no destructive death laws. Instead, there was a vibrant,lively and thriving region, about a thousand zhang in radius.
Within this region, a figure sat cross-legged.
Around him were ten divine halos, swirling with boundless radiant light. Bathed within it, even every strand of law flowed with brilliant divine radiance, like a deity, inviolable.
Within these God Demon burial grounds, vast amounts of God Demon laws surged toward him, submerging him, being devoured and absorbed.
At this moment, he too received the news. This supremely divine and sacred being revealed a faint smile. "Battle Saint King, I never expected you to reach this step now, slaying a Divine King. You truly haven't disappointed me. You have the potential to become an emperor in the future. We shall meet at the Imperial Son Feast!"
