"You—"
Hua Chengdao stood up, looking at Ye Chen with shock and fury, killing intent suffusing the air.
Outside the Emperor Son Feast, numerous Supreme Geniuses watched this scene, and countless people within Ascension Ancient Capital were also observing everything, inwardly gasping in shock.
They had long heard of how domineering and unyielding the Battle Saint King was, fearing nothing. Seeing him today truly lived up to his reputation.
Even without fighting, his aura and words alone had left many Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens speechless.
"If we fight, I'll take all the other Imperial Dao Dragon Qi you have," Ye Chen said, deliberately poking at Hua Chengdao's sore spot, exposing the Imperial Son's unpleasant past experience.
Everyone saw Hua Chengdao's face darken completely and felt curious. This seemed to be a weakness of his; this Imperial Son had likely had some unpleasant encounters with the Battle Saint King in the past that he preferred not to recall.
Ye Chen walked directly past him, arriving at the side of the human Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens, nodding in greeting to each of them in turn.
Even though some had been enemies, had fought before, at this moment they were all standing on the same side as the human race and should unite.
"Ye—Battle Saint King, it's been many years since we parted. You have surpassed your former self," Di Wuming was the first to speak. Since both Ye Chen and Ye Cangqiong shared the surname Ye, he directly used the title.
"Brother Wuming, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Ye Chen," Ye Chen said with a faint smile, returning the courtesy one by one.
Shen Rong also revealed a friendly smile.
Ye Cangqiong also let out a soft sigh, similarly cupping his fists in salute.
Only the Nanhuang Imperial Maiden, with her peerless immortal beauty that was no less than Abenue and the others, possessed a noble, unassailable temperament. Her dark hair was coiled into a phoenix shape, and she stood gracefully, giving Ye Chen a slight nod of acknowledgment.
Ye Chen nodded back.
At the Emperor Son Feast, basically everyone had arrived.
The Emperor Son Feast, on the surface, was also meant for the various heaven's Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants to meet and converse, to get to know each other.
They also hoped to reach a consensus: before truly contending for the "Supreme One" immortal fate, it was best not to start fights casually.
Because once a fight broke out, it would involve many parties, potentially triggering a chain reaction, a butterfly effect, prematurely igniting a full-scale war among Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants.
"We all possess Supreme-level potential. Barring accidents, becoming a generation's Supreme One in the future is almost a foregone conclusion. We are all future Supreme Ones who will determine the course of the Chaos Sea. We should not act rashly, to avoid anyone perishing."
An Imperial Son spoke up. He did not advocate fighting too early, hoping that even the contention for the "Supreme One" immortal fate could proceed peacefully, with no casualties if possible.
In fact, this was also a point in the minds of the other Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants.
They had all inherited the most powerful bloodline power of Emperors and Supreme Immortals, possessing boundless potential. Becoming a Supreme One in the future was almost an irreversible course.
Moreover, if anyone perished or died, the Imperial Clans or Immortal Clans behind them would inevitably go completely berserk, causing unimaginable disaster.
Therefore, no Imperial Son, Imperial Maiden, or Immortal Dao Descendant could die casually.
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
"Seconded!"
A full six or seven Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants expressed their approval.
However, some sneered inwardly, because this was impossible. Wanting to contend for the "Supreme One" immortal fate would inevitably involve casualties; even these Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants could not be spared.
Among them, the Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens of the nine Alien Emperor Clans watched the many human Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens with cold eyes, killing intent permeating the air.
Wasn't the main purpose of hosting this Emperor Son Feast precisely to exterminate all the human Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens?
However, the Alien Emperor Clan Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens superficially approved of this point, all seconding it, which left many people stunned.
After all, these Alien Emperor Clan Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens had always been accustomed to acting arrogantly. In the past, they had consistently advocated for the extermination of the human race. How could they advocate for peace now?
"Be careful. These aliens have ulterior motives," the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor transmitted his voice to Ye Chen.
"I know."
Ye Chen naturally understood. These aliens would love to kill him immediately; how could they possibly approve of this wish? They definitely had ulterior motives.
Sure enough, the Imperial Maiden Gu Lan spoke bluntly, addressing Ye Chen directly: "Battle Saint King, you have also heard the consensus at the Emperor Son Feast. As fellow Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants, we should not slaughter each other, but rather befriend one another, as we are all future masters of the Chaos Sea. I ask that you release the Brahman Emperor's Son and the Mohe Imperial Princess from our realm's cosmos, so that we may walk the path to greatness together in the future."
Everyone's hearts sank, their gazes all falling upon the Battle Saint King.
This was a terrifying figure who had successively suppressed the Brahman Emperor's Son and the Mohe Imperial Princess, once shaking the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain.
Now, the Alien Emperor Clans were seizing the opportunity, using the consensus of peaceful coexistence among the various heaven's Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants to force Ye Chen to hand over the suppressed Imperial Son and Imperial Maiden.
No wonder they were so supportive of this consensus.
"How shameless!"
"Utterly brazen!"
In secret, Abenue, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, and others couldn't help but curse the shamelessness of the Alien Emperor Clan Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens.
Hao Gongtian also chimed in, sneering coldly: "Battle Saint King, this is a consensus that the various heaven's Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants have worked hard to reach. We hope you can release the two fellow Daoists, the Brahman Emperor's Son and the Mohe Imperial Princess, and cherish this hard-won peace."
Imperial Son Hua Chengdao also chuckled, though his smile was full of hypocrisy: "I also second the motion. I hope the Battle Saint King will not be the first to break the consensus."
Many Imperial Sons, Imperial Maidens, and Immortal Dao Descendants spoke up one after another, urging Ye Chen to hand over the Brahman Emperor's Son and the Mohe Imperial Princess.
This was using the situation to bully others!
Naturally, even more people watched coldly from the sidelines, unwilling to get involved in thegrudges between the two sides.
"On what grounds!" Ye Cangqiong spoke up, his voice icy: "The Battle Saint King suppressed the Brahman Emperor's Son and the Mohe Imperial Princess by his own strength, and that was before the consensus was reached."
Shen Rong also helped Ye Chen, saying coldly: "They cannot be released."
Imperial Son An Yu said: "Humans, do not abandon the consensus that was so hard to reach. If the consensus cannot be upheld, does that mean we will start fighting as soon as the Emperor Son Feast ends?"
The Dark Heaven Imperial Son also said: "You must know that the Brahman Imperial Clan and the Mohe Imperial Clan place great importance on their two Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens. They are present in Ascension Ancient Capital; true supreme powerhouses have come. If the Battle Saint King does not hand them over, both great Imperial Clans will send God King-level experts to exert pressure."
Without a doubt, the Imperial Sons and Imperial Maidens of the nine Alien Emperor Clans were very forceful, seizing the opportunity to pressure Ye Chen into handing over the Brahman Emperor's Son and the Mohe Imperial Princess.
"Sorry, I am not an Imperial Son. This consensus does not apply to me," Ye Chen suddenly spoke these words. Then his next sentence instantly plunged the entire Ascension Tower into a deathly silence: "God Kings? Sorry, I've killed those too."
The entire hall fell silent!
The Saint King was domineering!
