"No!"
Within the Ascension Ancient Capital, all the various alien imperial clans watched this scene, and all of them wanted to charge into the sky.
Especially the Mo Luo Emperor Clan, to which Imperial Son An Yu belonged. Divine Kings soared into the sky; they absolutely could not let anything happen to the Imperial Son. He was the most important figure in the entire imperial clan, second only to the Emperor.
However, on the human side, Divine Kings stood in the way, blocking the path, not allowing the Mo Luo Emperor Clan's Divine Kings to charge forward. This was an absolutely rare victory; how could they let it fall short at the last moment?
"Humans, do you wish to start a full-scale war?"
The Mo Luo Emperor Clan Divine King spoke coldly, his eyes blazing with terrifying sharpness, anger surging forth.
The old Divine King of the Ye Family said indifferently, "Do you think we are not already at war now?"
These words caused the many alien imperial clan Divine Kings to choke, momentarily at a loss for words.
Moreover, at this moment, they truly could not take action. Within the Ascension Ancient Capital, there was the obstruction of a peerless Sovereign, who would not allow such a Divine King-level war across the heavens to occur.
In the sky above, the other Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants on the alien side naturally would not allow a situation where an Imperial Son was killed. They all took action, wanting to save An Yu.
But the many Strongest Young Supremes on the human side immediately intercepted them.
Ye Cangqiong was majestic and coldly said, "If you want to wage war against our human race, you must pay the corresponding price."
The price was the fall of an Imperial Son!
The many Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants on the alien side were both furious and helpless.
Boom—
At this moment, Ye Chen's attack arrived. He soared across the sky, tearing Imperial Son An Yu's Divine Soul Little Person into two halves, exploding with boundless power that shook heaven and earth, so shocking it stirred the soul.
Today, perhaps the scene of an Imperial Son being killed would truly occur.
An Imperial Son was peerless and naturally could not be easily annihilated. Even though his divine soul was torn in two, there were means left within his soul by the Emperor.
A sky full of demonic light flashed, rapidly restoring him, and an Emperor Treasure manifested, wanting to completely protect An Yu's Divine Soul Little Person. In this way, it became a turtle shell; even Ye Chen could not truly slay him.
This was the most fearless aspect of Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants; they fundamentally feared no one trying to kill them. Even if a Primordial Sovereign came, they would find it difficult to do anything in a short time.
However, Ye Chen's chaos was peerless. His entire body condensed into an indestructible ray of chaotic light, streaking across the world. With a swoosh, just as the Emperor Treasure Light had not yet completely enveloped An Yu, he passed right through.
Boom—
An Yu's Divine Soul Little Person exploded again, shattered into pieces. The Emperor Treasure Light that had surged halfway also dissipated, because it required the so-called Divine Soul Little Person to be intact for the Emperor Treasure Light to fully cover and take effect.
It was just that, obviously, Ye Chen had seized this opportunity—the Emperor Treasure's only weakness.
Perhaps it could be said this weakness was almost negligible, lasting only for an instant. Once that instant passed, there would be no further chance to act.
For many people, this weakness of the Emperor Treasure was practically non-existent.
Yet Ye Chen possessed the world's ultimate speed. The Boundary-Traversing Secret Technique was fast to the extreme, the peerless movement technique that the Faceless Sovereign of yore used to dominate the heavens. He had found this sliver of an opportunity.
An Yu roared, endless pain drowning him, making him scream in agony. The Emperor Treasure Light quickly surged forth, wanting to completely envelop him.
Ye Chen attacked again, his figure swift, once more tearing apart An Yu's Divine Soul Little Person.
Even though An Yu had the protection of Emperor Treasure Light, as long as Ye Chen's speed was sufficient, surpassing the speed at which the Emperor Treasure Light enveloped him, four or five more times would be enough to completely annihilate An Yu, slaying a generation's Imperial Son.
The world was shocked. The many Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants all felt a chill run down their spines.
Even with the protection of Emperor Treasure Light, it was useless. Absolute speed could already slay an Imperial Son.
Today, on the sky above the Ascension Ancient Capital, the eye-catching scene of an Imperial Son being slaughtered was occurring.
Boom— Boom—
Earth-shattering explosions rang out continuously. Ye Chen could calculate that in just two more times, An Yu would also be completely annihilated.
His opponent's Divine Soul Little Person was now extremely weak, no longer as solid as before. Each explosion was like an infinite weakening, with vast amounts of soul power dissipating into the world.
"Ah—"
An Yu screamed in pain. This kind of pain was far more intense than physical pain by many times.
Each successive explosion and shattering had weakened his entire being to an extreme point.
Yet at the same time, An Yu was also helpless, because he simply could not protect himself. For the first time, he sorrowfully felt that his life was not in his own hands.
Boom—
The fifth time tearing apart An Yu's Divine Soul Little Person, a sky full of soul fragments exploded.
Just one last time, and even someone as powerful as an Imperial Son would inevitably fall into dim demise.
However, just as Ye Chen was passing through in that instant, he suddenly felt a chill surge from his spine straight into his brain. A sense of fatal crisis manifested, almost at the same time. Instinctively, his body shifted sideways for over a hundred miles.
Pfft—
Even though Ye Chen reacted quickly, shifting aside like lightning, he was still wounded.
A streak of blood light shot into the sky!
Even the mighty Chaos Saint Body was not immune. A deep, bone-revealing gash was sliced open on his neck, a large amount of blood spurting out, carrying chaotic energy, quite extraordinary.
But no one paid attention to this; they all focused on the void.
The world was astonished. The invincible Battle Saint King was actually injured, nearly beheaded and separated from his body.
Ye Chen felt waves of lingering fear. He could fully sense the terror of that strike—so silent, so utterly lethal.
If not for him being a Chaos Saint Body, also a Strongest Young Supreme, and possessing combat power infinitely close to the Divine King level, with perception of danger sharpened to the extreme, then if it were himself from a few months ago, when he had just entered the Ten Heavens Realm Ancient Domain, he might not have been able to react in time.
"It's a sword. There's an assassin, and an extremely terrifying super assassin at that!"
Ye Chen reacted instantly. That was an extremely terrifying assassin, perhaps not inferior to a Strongest Young Supreme of Imperial Son level, wielding a peerless divine sword hidden in the shadows. Like a venomous snake, it lurked in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
God-Slaying Alliance? Assassin King?
Ye Chen shuddered all over. For the first time, a look of gravity appeared in his eyes, along with lingering fear and a trace of confusion.
He had clearly requested the God-Slaying Alliance's assassins to target the alien Imperial Sons and Daughters. Why had they instead turned to kill him?
"You've finally come, though a bit slow." Imperial Son An Yu's Divine Soul Little Person slowly reassembled, speaking to the void, clearly aware of all this.
On the human side, all the powerhouses changed expressions.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely terrifying assassin. Even a terrifying assassin like the Battle Saint King was nearly beheaded, showing just a glimpse, making one defenseless against the unexpected.
