Boom—
Another terrifying explosion resounded as yet another Heavenly Palace Divine Hall was blasted apart—this one belonging to the Mohe Imperial Clan.
Similarly, both of these Alien Emperor Clans lacked the presence of their Imperial Sons and Daughters to oversee them. With their Divine Kings away, they had little resistance against the invincible Battle Saint King.
"Battle Saint King, you're courting death!"
A Divine King roared; the Divine King of the Mohe Imperial Clan had also returned.
This was the last Divine King of the Mohe Imperial Clan within the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain. Two other Divine Kings had already perished due to the Battle Saint King.
His departure meant the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall of the Brahman Imperial Clan had absolutely no defensive power against the Battle Saint King.
However, by the time the experts from the five Alien Emperor Clans rushed to the Mohe Imperial Clan's Heavenly Palace Divine Hall, they found only ruins. The figure of the Battle Saint King had long since vanished.
"Quick, move! The Battle Saint King has shifted to another area!"
The five Alien Emperor Clans swiftly relocated.
At the same time, the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall of the Futu Imperial Clan was also blasted apart.
But at this moment, a supremely peerless figure strode forth, his Dao aura shaking the world.
It was the Imperial Son of the Futu Imperial Clan. He wore a divine crown, his purple hair flowing loosely, clad in imperial robes, his expression icy and grim.
He had been in secluded cultivation before the incident, never expecting anyone would dare attack the Futu Imperial Clan's Heavenly Palace Divine Hall. It was tantamount to challenging the entire imperial clan's dignity—unforgivable.
"It's you, Battle Saint King!"
The Futu Imperial Son stared at the majestic figure ahead, wreathed in chaotic ancient aura. Who else could it be but the Battle Saint King?
"You dare attack my clan!"
Suddenly, boundless killing intent filled this stretch of heaven and earth, emanating from the Futu Imperial Son.
The countless onlookers, including even several super-powerful experts, felt a chill run down their spines.
Was this the manifestation of the supreme strength possessed by those at the Imperial Son level?
"It was me."
Ye Chen did not deny it. Instead, he looked down upon the Futu Imperial Son, standing with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly. "The Futu Imperial Clan acted against me. Did you think I wouldn't dare retaliate against your clan? Ridiculous. I dare to kill Divine Kings; what is there that I wouldn't dare do?"
"The alien race has been deliberately targeting the human race. I've always known this, but I never imagined your alien race could be so shameless, knowing I wasn't at the Ye Family yet still pressing down upon them. The words 'shameless and brazen' describe your alien race perfectly."
Ye Chen's words held no mercy, directly calling out the alien race's shamelessness.
"You seek death!"
The Futu Imperial Son roared. Boundless radiance erupted, demonic light surging forth as he prepared to strike and slay Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen's figure dispersed, transforming into countless specks of starlight that scattered into the heavens and earth. Only his voice echoed throughout this domain: "Alien race, do not shamelessly use this as an excuse to target my human race again. At the Emperor Son Feast, I will appear."
As his words faded, Ye Chen's figure completely vanished.
This was merely a divine avatar, not even a Chaos Supreme Body. It could destroy Heavenly Palace Divine Halls but could not truly battle an Imperial Son-level figure.
Naturally, this was Ye Chen's deliberate ploy—to prevent the alien race from detecting his true whereabouts while he remained hidden in the shadows, ready to strike against the alien race at any moment.
This was his greatest advantage.
Boom—
The next moment, the experts of the five Alien Emperor Clans descended, only to find the Heavenly Palace Divine Hall already in ruins. Only the Futu Imperial Son stood there with an icy expression, filled with rage.
"Battle Saint King, at the Emperor Son Feast, I will surely kill you!"
The Futu Imperial Son's murderous voice resounded across heaven and earth.
Within just an hour, news of these events spread to every corner of the Ascension Ancient Capital.
The five Alien Emperor Clans—Brahman, Mohe, Futu, Dark Heaven, and Abandoned Heaven—along with nearly twenty King Clans and numerous experts, had descended before the Ye Family's Heavenly Palace, forcefully demanding the surrender of the Battle Saint King and seeking to search the premises. This provoked intense displeasure from the Ye Family, even drawing out the Ye Family's Old Divine King and nearly sparking a Divine King-level battle.
Soon after, the Battle Saint King sent a divine avatar, forcefully blasting apart the Heavenly Palace Divine Halls of three Alien Emperor Clans: Brahman, Mohe, and Futu. This startled the Futu Imperial Son and nearly triggered an Imperial Son-level battle.
The Battle Saint King's forceful defiance of the alien race spread far and wide.
Even the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain soon learned of it.
The world could not help but marvel at the Battle Saint King's truly domineering and imposing manner.
Moreover, after this incident, the alien race no longer dared use this as a pretext to target the human imperial clans, ushering in a brief period of calm.
However, everyone knew this was merely the calm before the Emperor Son Feast.
When the feast truly arrived, conflict would inevitably erupt.
And the alien race's covert searches for the Battle Saint King never ceased.
Soon, three days passed.
The Emperor Son Feast drew ever closer. Almost everyone seemed to sense a gradually emerging, oppressive atmosphere.
During this time, Ye Chen and his companions walked the streets of the Ascension Ancient Capital like ordinary cultivators, disguised and hidden among them.
The greatest concealment was within the crowd itself.
However, one could notice many more alien race figuresmovinging through the streets, occasionally casting swift glances their way.
The group had altered their appearances, and Ye Chen had employed the Heaven and Earth Transformation technique to change their fundamental auras. For the time being, the alien race found it difficult to pinpoint their traces.
"I say these alien bastards are really annoying, searching all day long, making us feel like rats scurrying across the street. Should we launch a sneak attack to give them a warning?" the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor transmitted mentally.
Ye Chen shook his head. "For now, it's best not to act rashly. Besides, these alien forces don't dare be too brazen. After all, there are many members of other imperial clans and immortal clans in the Ascension Ancient Capital now. They wouldn't dare be too blatant."
"Where are we going now?" the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor asked.
"Wanbao Pavilion!" Ye Chen uttered.
Wanbao Pavilion was a treasure pavilion and divine tower that gathered countless treasures, renowned throughout the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
There was a saying that described Wanbao Pavilion:
If you know of a treasure, there is none that cannot be sold at Wanbao Pavilion.
Though somewhat exaggerated, it gave an idea of how formidable Wanbao Pavilion was and how many treasures of the world it possessed.
It had almost everything one could imagine. There were no treasures that couldn't be bought, only treasures one hadn't thought of.
Ye Chen came to Wanbao Pavilion to procure some items that might prove useful at the Emperor Son Feast.
Wanbao Pavilion also stood in the central area of the Ascension Ancient Capital, situated in a bustling location. Its palace was grand and extravagantly luxurious, no less magnificent than the Heavenly Palace Divine Halls of imperial or immortal clans.
The palace shimmered with flowing light and vibrant colors. Even the building materials included extraordinary substances like Bright God Pearls and Heavenly Ox Bone, displaying extreme opulence with flashes of treasure light. One could imagine how many treasures were hidden within Wanbao Pavilion.
Naturally, the fact that Wanbao Pavilion had existed for countless years, standing firm in the heart of the Ascension Ancient Capital, eternal and unchanging, spoke volumes.
The group entered Wanbao Pavilion.
However, Ye Chen and the others did not notice that before entering, the Old Divine King's eyes flickered slightly, as if lost in a momentary daze.
