Sword Heaven Monarch wore a face of smug satisfaction, laughing heartily: "Apologies, everyone. I didn't expect our human race to win before even finishing the full ten matches. Can't be helped—the potential of our younger generation is just that great, and they're truly formidable. But you don't need to look like dead fish either; you're only a tiny bit worse than us humans."
"Don't worry, if there's a next time, we'll tell these little rascals not to win so quickly. Hahaha!"
Seeing Sword Heaven Monarch's triumphant laughter, the expressions of the five alien Ancient Monarchs turned as ugly as could be.
A next time? Was he implying that their alien Imperial Sons and Daughters would continue to fall?
Especially Dark Sun Monarch. The one who had fallen was an Imperial Son of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan, yet he was forced to let the matter rest. He truly found it hard to swallow this anger.
However, facing so many Ancient Monarchs, he dared not defy the will of the world and make a move. He could only grit his teeth and bear it, accepting this outcome.
Only, deep within his eyes, boundless killing intent flickered, clearly indicating he wouldn't let this matter go easily.
Yu Qing said solemnly: "Yue, you must be careful of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan. With you killing the Dark Heaven Imperial Son, this alien imperial clan won't let this matter rest easily."
"I understand," Ye Chen nodded. He naturally understood, but at the very least, the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan wouldn't dare try anything for now.
Sun Sovereign said: "Since the matter is now resolved, both sides should depart. Little friend Saint King, if you have no immediate destination, you may come as a guest to my Tai Sheng Imperial Clan. In a way, you share a connection with my Tai Sheng Imperial Clan, and it wouldn't be wrong to call you a junior brother."
Clearly, Sun Sovereign also knew about the time Tai Sheng Huang had bestowed the Chaos enlightenment upon Ye Chen. In a sense, Ye Chen could be considered half a disciple of Tai Sheng Huang.
The onlookers were moved. Battle Saint King was actually the junior brother of the famous Sun Sovereign? Though they didn't know if it was true, it implicitly told the world that anyone wanting to move against Battle Saint King would have to weigh the consequences.
"Senior Brother Sun!"
Ye Chen cupped his fists, readily accepting this address. He clearly understood that Sun Sovereign was worried the alien race would attack him and wanted to bring him back to the Tai Sheng Imperial Clan. He promptly agreed: "Since Senior Brother has spoken, this junior does indeed have some cultivation questions he'd like to seek your guidance on."
The implication was that he would follow Sun Sovereign back to the Tai Sheng Imperial Clan.
"In that case, I shall take my leave first. Fellow Daoists, until we meet again."
Sun Sovereign bid farewell to the various Sovereigns with a cupped fist, preparing to leave with the Tai Sheng Imperial Clan members and Ye Chen, Yu Qing, and his other companions.
"Fellow Daoist, wait!" However, at this moment, the Ancient Monarch of the Brahman Imperial Clan suddenly spoke up: "Although you humans have won, this matter is not over so quickly."
"Oh? Are you aliens going back on your word, breaking the rules established by so many Monarchs, and using the power of one clan to scorn all the Ancient Monarchs of the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain?"
Sword Heaven Monarch's words carried a hidden edge, directly placing a big hat on them.
Back then, the alien race loved to pin such labels; now Sword Heaven Monarch was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Sun Sovereign also stopped, frowning slightly, wanting to understand what tricks the alien race was trying to pull at this point.
The Brahman Imperial Clan Ancient Monarch flicked his sleeve with a cold snort: "The rules established by all the Monarch Fellow Daoists, we aliens naturally dare not violate. However, what was just discussed was only how to deal with Battle Saint King. But Battle Saint King has suppressed three of our alien Imperial Sons and Daughters, plus the Imperial Son of the Hua Imperial Dynasty. That is a separate matter."
Now, they were getting to the main point.
When this was mentioned, instantly, countless gazes fell upon Ye Chen.
Suppressing four Imperial Sons and Daughters, and slaying the Dark Heaven Imperial Son—what a terrifying battle record. He was practically an Imperial Son killer.
If not for the fact that Imperial Sons and Daughters were protected by Emperor treasures, the four suppressed Imperial Sons and Daughters would likely have all fallen.
Without a doubt, this fully highlighted Ye Chen's heaven-defying prowess. If Human Imperial Son relied on his higher realm to crush Imperial Sons, then absolute invincibility within the same realm described someone like him.
This point, even Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao descendants, and the strongest young supremes had to acknowledge.
"Now, let this little beast hand over our three alien Imperial Sons and Daughters and the Hua Imperial Dynasty's Imperial Son, and he may leave," the Mohe Imperial Clan Ancient Monarch also spoke, looking down at Ye Chen with authority from on high, as if gazing at an insignificant ant.
In fact, that was indeed the case. No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he was still merely a Great Power, not even a Divine King. In the eyes of such an Ancient Monarch, he was no different from an ant.
"Hand over my ass, you old dog!" Ye Chen suddenly cursed. Calling him a little beast over and over, did they think he had no temper?
So what if it was an Ancient Monarch? If they angered him, he'd curse right back.
"Say that again!" The Mohe Imperial Clan Ancient Monarch's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Old dog!" Ye Chen responded calmly.
Boom—
A monarchial heavenly might vast enough to destroy the heavens descended from above, rushing toward Ye Chen. However, Sun Sovereign stepped forward and blocked this monarchial might.
"Sun Sovereign, didn't you see him insulting this Monarch?" said the Mohe Imperial Clan Monarch.
Ye Chen sneered: "You told me to say it again. And you insulted me first; did you expect me to respect you? Who do you think you are? You're just an enemy of my human race. Why should I respect you? Did a door hit your head or something?"
Having spent time with Weil and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, Ye Chen's cursing skills were naturally no ordinary matter.
"Is a Monarch someone a mere Great Power like you can insult? You deserve death!" The Mohe Imperial Clan Monarch strode forward, his monarchial heavenly might growing even more terrifying as it pressed toward Ye Chen. But a fearsome sharpness flashed in Sun Sovereign's eyes: "Alien, do not cross the line."
Sword Heaven Monarch also raised his monarchial heavenly sword, looking at him coldly.
The Mohe Imperial Clan Monarch's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he indeed had little pretext to attack Ye Chen.
Indeed, the two sides were merely enemies, and sworn enemies at that. Ye Chen had no need to show respect to an enemy.
The Mohe Imperial Clan Monarch could only swallow his anger, shooting a murderous glance at Ye Chen, yet he continued coldly: "This matter can be set aside. This Monarch can let it go. But today, little—Battle Saint King must hand over the three Imperial Sons and Daughters from our universe. Otherwise, don't think about taking a single step away from here."
However, Sword Heaven Monarch sneered coldly: "Based on what? In the battles of the younger generation, the victor is king, the loser a bandit. Do you also want to overstep the rules of the Ten Heavenly Emperor Halls and attack Battle Saint King?"
If the fall of the Dark Heaven Imperial Son caused the entire Dark Heaven Imperial Clan to rage and attack Ye Chen at all costs, that could barely be justified.
But in ordinary battles among the younger generation where no one died, how could Ancient Monarchs intervene?
If the older generation all intervened, what fairness would remain for the younger generation?
