This time, however, it was as if the thirty-six Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants present at the Emperor Son Feast had reached a silent understanding. They simultaneously unleashed their supreme, peerless Emperor Son Oppressive Might, intensifying it countless times over in an instant.
Formless and invisible, the Emperor Son Oppressive Might cascaded down from the tenth floor of the Ascension Tower like a waterfall.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
In that instant, the expressions of all the young Heaven's Pride geniuses changed drastically. The Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses immediately erupted, resonating with the Ten Heavens within their bodies to resist the Oppressive Might. The sense of pressure diminished many times over for them in a flash.
However, those talents who were not Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses, though also strong and some even having stepped into the Great Power realm, clearly could not withstand it. One by one, they plummeted from the sky, blood spurting from their mouths like angels with broken wings.
Watching the countless figures of young Heaven's Pride geniuses falling from the sky, many in Ascension Ancient Capital sighed softly.
The Emperor Son Feast truly was not something just anyone was qualified to attend.
In the end, over a hundred Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses successfully ascended to the tenth floor of the Ascension Tower.
Having undergone the trial of the Emperor Sons' Oppressive Might, they were all pale-faced, lacking color, panting heavily. They cast a glance filled with awe at the thirty-six Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants at the center before sitting down behind them.
"Having experienced the baptism of the Emperor Son Feast, these Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses will undoubtedly become stronger than before."
"After truly witnessing the supreme invincibility of the Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants, they will understand the gap that exists. They will know that even among Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses, there are immense differences. From now on, much of their sharp edge will be tempered, allowing them to advance further on the path of cultivation."
"Misfortune? Or blessing?"
Many people commented that the Emperor Son Oppressive Might was akin to a trial. Only by truly passing through it could one advance further, stepping towards a vaster sky to soar and spread their wings.
At the Emperor Son Feast, powerful Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses were numerous, with Emperor Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants all present.
But the arrival of Emperor Son-level Heaven's Pride had not ceased. Later, three more actually arrived one after another, bringing the total to thirty-nine.
"The Emperor Son Feast should begin now," an Emperor Son spoke up, suggesting the feast could commence.
"By the way, what about the Battle Saint King? Why does he not dare to appear?" Suddenly, the Imperial Maiden Gu Lan spoke, her words pointedly aimed at the human race.
The Dark Heaven Imperial Son spoke coldly, "The Battle Saint King is now nothing but a rat scurrying in the streets, everyone shouts to beat him. How would he dare appear at the Emperor Son Feast?"
"Heh, back then he said he would appear at the Emperor Son Feast. In the end, he's just a coward without guts," the Asura Imperial Son said.
Regarding the Battle Saint King, whose fame had soared during this period, the alien race clearly harbored deep hatred.
Because the Battle Saint King's current prestige was all earned at the expense of the alien race.
Now that he was nowhere to be seen, naturally there was much mockery.
"Hahaha, what is there to fear!"
Suddenly, a great laugh resounded between heaven and earth, drawing the attention of the entire world. Countless gazes swiveled towards the source of the sound.
Far in the distance, a tall, straight, and heroic figure appeared.
He was so imposing and majestic, his peerless bearing bathing in chaotic light. Around him, the phantom forms of sacred beasts—the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—floated and sank.
He strode forward, a Chaos Great Dao manifesting beneath his feet, almost spanning the entire Ascension Ancient Capital, extending towards the tenth floor of the Ascension Tower. It was as if a Chaos Heavenly Emperor was touring the world, appearing with great strides. In just a few steps, he traversed from the distant horizon to the front of the Ascension Tower's tenth floor.
Countless people watched.
This was the Battle Saint King—the Chaos Young Supreme One who, with the body of a Great Power, had slain a God King. He was vaguely regarded as the number one among the younger generation, an idol worshipped by countless young Heaven's Pride geniuses, revered as a deity.
He appeared just like that, unafraid of the numerous wanted orders and pursuits issued by the Emperor Clans and Immortal Clans.
One could sense that within Ascension Ancient Capital, many terrifying killing intents immediately appeared, all directed solely at the Battle Saint King, originating from various alien Emperor Clans. God Kings lurked among them, eager to strike.
Yet, in the end, no one made a move, for today was the Emperor Son Feast, and there were more important matters at hand.
However, just as Ye Chen was heading towards the Ascension Tower, a divine arrow suddenly appeared in the void.
Boom—
This arrow was terrifyingly powerful, like a great dragon, containing peerless force. Even a peak Great Power of the Ninth Heaven would face a great threat.
The divine arrow flowed with faint strands of demonic light, unmistakably World-Destroying Demonic Light, wrapped around it.
A World-Destroying Arrow!
Someone was seizing the opportunity to strike, to block the Battle Saint King from reaching the Ascension Tower, and to take the chance to shoot him dead.
Clearly, it was the work of the alien race.
The fearsome World-Destroying Arrow shot forth, demonic light overflowing, accompanied by the terrifying vision of great world heavens and earths shattering and collapsing. It shot like lightning towards the space between Ye Chen's eyebrows.
The next moment, to everyone's shock, before the World-Destroying Arrow could fully strike Ye Chen, a hand rose before him, seemingly slow yet actually fast. Its index and middle fingers clamped onto that arrow capable of destroying a world within a source.
No matter how terrifying this World-Destroying Arrow was, it could not advance another inch, held firmly there.
"Explode!"
From the shadows, someone spoke coldly, as if having anticipated this all along.
The World-Destroying Arrow clamped between Ye Chen's fingers erupted with demonic light, bursting forth with terrifying World-Destroying Demonic Light, about to explode.
Yet, facing this, Ye Chen, at point-blank range, simply ran his two fingers along the World-Destroying Arrow. With a soft *whoosh*, all the World-Destroying Demonic Light dissipated and vanished, turning to nothing.
Swish—
His gaze turned towards a certain point in the void, as if seeing the still-shocked assailant. He spoke coldly, "A mere Eighth Heaven Great Power dares to ambush me? The alien race seems to be looking down on me a bit too much."
As his words fell, Ye Chen's figure remained motionless. However, the White Tiger sacred beast phantom on his right suddenly leaped across the sky, vanishing like lightning into that mysterious point in the void with a fearsome tiger's roar.
Roar—
"No—"
Accompanied by the bloom of agorgeous yet tragicbloody light, a scream was abruptly cut short. The White Tiger sacred beast returned, and Ye Chen continued forward, leaving behind a city full of stunned gazes.
An Eighth Heaven super Great Power had perished just like that?
"Damnable Battle Saint King!"
Numerous members of the alien race watched Ye Chen's departing back with furious and sinister gazes.
In a few steps, Ye Chen soon arrived at the Ascension Tower, making his entrance stepping over bones.
"Battle Saint King!"
On the tenth floor of the Ascension Tower, the many Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and Supreme Heavenly Pride geniuses, seeing that the Battle Saint King truly dared to appear, all stood up one by one.
This was especially true for the Emperor Sons and Daughters of the nine alien Emperor Clans. Each of them unleashed terrifying killing intent without concealment.
From behind, the Life Imperial Son, Hao Gongtian son of the Sun-Shooting Immortal Venerable, the Imperial Son Hua Chengdao, and others who had been adversaries in the Reverse Slaughter Emperor World also released threads of hostility.
Only the Longevity Imperial Son showed no hostility. This most profound Imperial Son's eyes gleamed with a strange light, carrying a trace of interest as a smile appeared on his face.
