At the same time, the three Imperial Sons and Daughters opposite them simultaneously changed color. A single Battle Saint King was already powerful enough that they could only join forces to resist him. Now, with the addition of a Chaos Supreme Body that was not the slightest bit weaker than the main body, their only option was to flee.
"Let's go!"
The three Imperial Sons and Daughters exchanged a glance, then turned and left with lightning speed, without a moment's hesitation.
"Thinking of leaving? You'd better stay. Dark Prison and Floating Pagoda's Emperor's Son are both quite lonely, waiting for your company," Ye Chen said coldly. He and his Chaos Supreme Body split up, chasing after Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son and Maha Emperor's Daughter with lightning speed.
Another Imperial Son, Gu Lan, had just narrowly escaped disaster when he felt a bone-chilling sense of crisis in the depths of his soul. By the time he reacted, a terrifying God-Slaying Sword bloomed from the void, striking with speed faster than thunder.
Only then did he remember: while the alien race had the Phoenix, the human race also had the Pheasant, the strongest young assassin of the God-Slaying Alliance.
He only had time to shift his head a fraction. That divine sword appeared, slicing through the air and easily cleaving through his head, splitting open a small half of it, nearly piercing into his Mud Pill Palace. Blood and brain matter sprayed into the void—he had been headshot, almost perishing on the spot.
However, he was also severely wounded as a result.
Meanwhile, Maha Emperor's Daughter and Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son both directly unleashed their most powerful Forbidden Divine Abilities, instantly pushing their auras to the limit. Only by doing so could they briefly contend with the Battle Saint King.
But defeat was only a matter of time; defeating the Battle Saint King was simply impossible. Floating Pagoda's Emperor's Son was proof of that.
At the same time, Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son roared, "Aren't you all going to step in and attack? Even if you want my alien race to deplete the human race's strength, you need to consider the occasion!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Did the alien race still have allies?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, three powerful auras surged into the battlefield, all belonging to Imperial Sons and Daughters. Ye Chen recognized the aura of one of them—it was unmistakably from the Jiuyan Imperial Clan, the imperial clan from which he had stolen over half of their imperial treasury.
He hadn't expected that clan's Imperial Son to be here as well.
Clearly, the Jiuyan Imperial Clan's Imperial Son looked at Ye Chen with extreme iciness. Behind him, a powerful Divine King figure also stepped forward—none other than the Divine King Longevity Sword God from before.
Divine King Longevity Sword God looked at Ye Chen with a somewhat complicated gaze. He hadn't expected that the Battle Saint King, who once needed other Divine Kings to appear and rescue him to escape, had now grown to this level, capable of rivaling the Divine King realm.
However, the other party had stolen nearly half of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan's imperial treasury—this was unforgivable.
But a streak of light also landed on the human side, relatively unfamiliar. It was an extremely burly man, comparable to Wang Ming, standing a full ten feet tall, with arms thicker than two of an ordinary person's thighs combined.
He wore a thick suit of battle armor covering his entire body, resembling a god of war, with short hair and eyes like thunder.
"Gai Lun, from the Eight Desolations Ancient Universe!"
The burly youth spoke. Ye Chen suddenly understood—this was a surviving Imperial Son from the Eight Desolations Ancient Universe where the Immortal-Slaying Ship was located, an extremely powerful figure.
His appearance was marked by eyes filled with boundless hatred as he stared at the alien race. He was an Imperial Son; though he appeared honest and simple, he was also a wise individual. He knew that no matter how powerful he was alone, he could not contend against the alien race, but joining the humans was a different matter.
"Battle Saint King, I can help you hold off one alien Imperial Son, even kill him," Gai Lun said coldly, his sword-like eyebrows raised. In his thick hand, he held an equally fearsome greatsword, inscribed with profound Dao marks—clearly an absolutely extraordinary weapon that caused the void to distort and tear under its weight.
Boom!
Gai Lun directly charged into the battlefield, targeting an alien Imperial Son. He swung that massive greatsword, cleaving through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, immediately displaying absolutely terrifying killing moves.
Because he had an irreconcilable blood feud with the alien race. The Eight Desolations Ancient Universe had provoked the Primordial Immortal Realm precisely because of the alien race, ultimately leading to the entire ancient universe's destruction.
His father, an Ancient Great Emperor, had also fallen in that battle. As a surviving Imperial Son, how could he not hate the alien race? He wished he could exterminate every last one of them.
The Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor, meanwhile, swept across the sky, directly blocking the Jiuyan Imperial Clan's Imperial Son. However, with the addition of two more Imperial Sons and Daughters, the alien side once again seemed to hold the advantage.
But Ye Chen alone was enough to rival the combat power of six Imperial Sons and Daughters. With his main body and Chaos Supreme Body both unleashed, he directly pressed Maha Emperor's Daughter and Abandoned Heaven Emperor's Son into a defensive fight. Even without using Forbidden Divine Abilities, he could still contend against theirs.
"Retreat!"
By this point in the battle, the alien race knew the situation was unfavorable. Among the younger generation, not only had they failed to gain any advantage, they were being pressed into a defensive fight, even losing two Imperial Sons, who were once again suppressed by the Battle Saint King.
Boom! Boom!
Ye Chen erupted with power once more, sweeping across all directions. He directly activated the Supreme Emperor Technique from the Ancient Great Emperor's inheritance, contending against the two Imperial Sons' and Daughters' Forbidden Divine Abilities, then shattered everything, blasting both of them until half their bodies were pulverized.
He was about to press the advantage, but this time, numerous attacks flashed into existence, landing right in front of Ye Chen and blocking his assault.
Clearly, these were attacks from other Imperial Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao scions. Having witnessed Ye Chen's supreme invincibility, finding no match below the Divine King realm, many of the watching Imperial Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao scions were secretly alarmed. They did not wish to see the Battle Saint King dominate alone, as it would be troublesome to contend against him later.
They had begun to hope that the alien Imperial Sons and Daughters could restrain the Battle Saint King; that would be best for them.
Ye Chen clearly noticed this as well, his expression somewhat gloomy, but he said nothing.
Though he was powerful and domineering, he had not yet reached that level of true, peerless invincibility. Otherwise, no one would dare block his path today.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The alien race retreated comprehensively. Numerous Imperial Sons, Daughters, Supreme Talents, and older-generation Divine Kings quickly soared into the sky and left.
Only the Divine King-level Imperial Sons, Di Wentian and Mo Shitian, departed with ease.
Many on the human side wanted to press the advantage and pursue, but numerous Imperial Sons, Daughters, and Immortal Dao scions stepped forward to block them, hoping the humans would show mercy and not push too hard.
Naturally, everyone on the human side could see the motives behind these people's actions. They were both shocked, angry, and helpless, but ultimately, they restrained themselves.
After all, no matter how powerful the human race was, they absolutely could not simultaneously contend against all the other imperial clans and immortal clans in the entire Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, excluding the humans.
