Whoosh—
The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body looked down from above, coldly gazing at the Divine Emperor's Son below. If he truly intended to make a move, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body would also act without hesitation, even if the other party was the Divine Emperor's Son, he would directly suppress him.
The Divine Emperor's Son swept a cold glance at the Human Imperial Son and said, "You have only just stepped into the Divine King Realm. Killing you would be as easy as turning over my hand. How dare you provoke me. If it weren't for the fact that this is human territory and I still have some reservations because of it, if we were in the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, I would raise my hand and crush you directly."
His words were filled with immense confidence, as if suppressing an Imperial Son in the Divine King Realm was as effortless as crushing an ant.
Yet no one doubted him, all because the Divine Emperor's Son was simply too powerful. In the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, he had slain several Divine King-level figures, possessing truly illustrious fame. Having been in the Divine King Realm for many years, the extent of his cultivation's strength was unknown to all, only that it was transcendent and formidable.
The Human Imperial Son remained silent as ever, his expression showing no change, as if nothing in the world could shake him.
Then, he took a step forward and arrived before Ye Chen and the other human powerhouses. Sensing the Human Imperial Son's vast, abyssal divine might before them, even the human Imperial Sons and Daughters, the strongest young supremes, felt their hearts tremble with fear. The human Divine Kings behind them felt the same.
Even though he was only a First Tribulation Divine King, he was far beyond comparison with ordinary First Tribulation Divine Kings. A Divine King-level Strongest Young Supreme was an existence powerful beyond imagination.
"Congratulations!" Ye Chen was the first to speak, offering sincere congratulations.
Those behind him also offered their congratulations one after another.
The Human Imperial Son gave a slight nod. Facing his peers of the same human race, he rarely revealed a faint smile and said, "I will enter seclusion briefly to consolidate my cultivation."
He turned and left!
Watching the Human Imperial Son's departing figure, Ye Chen's gaze fell upon an immortal divine mountain—the seclusion place of the old Divine King Tongtian. He wondered when the old Divine King would emerge from seclusion and whether he could break through that shackle akin to an immortal heavenly pass to achieve the status of a peerless monarch.
"We have the final ten days. Everyone should make their own preparations. We must give it our all in the end," Ye Chen said, then took Yu Qing and Abenue by the hand and left, returning to a skyborne Divine Island that belonged exclusively to him.
This time, they would face a great terror from the Chaos Burial Ground comparable to an ancient Great Emperor. This battle was fraught with peril, and Ye Chen dared not even ask himself if he would ultimately return alive. Thus, he hoped to spend more time with those close to him during these last ten days.
The Divine Island floated in the heavens, with silver waterfalls cascading, mist and clouds swirling. Spirit beasts galloped, immortal cranes spread their wings, springs tinkled, and spiritual energy was dense, creating a scene reminiscent of an immortal realm. Residing here could bring peace to one's heart.
That night, Ye Chen pulled his two peerlessly beautiful wives under the same blanket. Yet, there was no trace of amorous thoughts in his heart. Holding their soft, boneless bodies gently, one on each side, his state of mind was peaceful, unprecedentedly calm.
That night, Ye Chen fell into a deep sleep with the two women. Unlike before, he did not focus on cultivation. He slept deeply and relaxed because they were by his side.
Yu Qing and Abenue also slept leaning against Ye Chen's shoulders. Their stunningly beautiful faces both wore faint, contented smiles. Being able to stay by his side constantly was their greatest satisfaction.
The night passed. The three awoke, glanced at each other, and broke into smiles, filled with contentment.
Standing on the Divine Island, they could overlook the vast territory of the Ninth Heavenly Pass. This was a true great world, no less than the Primordial Emperor Realm, extremely vast and magnificent.
It wasn't just the enormous metropolis below where billions of the Qin Clan lived. Beyond the metropolis, there were endless forests stretching who knew how many tens of thousands of li, majestic mountain ranges and peaks, deserts of crimson earth spanning thousands of li, snowfields perpetually covered in snow, and vast, vibrant grasslands...
Everything a world should possess, the Ninth Heavenly Pass territory also possessed, and more, and larger.
The three arrived at the garden at the edge of the Divine Island. As far as the eye could see, there were blooming flowers of all colors, vibrant and dripping with beauty, emitting an enchanting fragrance.
Yu Qing, with her smile that could topple the mortal world, sat amidst the multicolored flowers, leaning against Ye Chen's left shoulder, experiencing rare happiness.
On the right, Abenue also leaned against Ye Chen's shoulder, letting her golden hair cascade to the ground. Her dark golden pupils reflected the entire world. She saw, far beyond tens of thousands of li, a magnificent grassland. There weren't many powerful cultivators there; most were mortals living ordinary lives.
In this world, the culture of cultivation was quite flourishing, but some chose the life of ordinary people, wishing to live in mundanity their whole lives, unwilling to step into the affairs of the cultivation world, content to be ignorant ordinary people, happy and joyful every day.
She saw on that vast grassland many children, as fresh as flowers, herding livestock. But they were all laughing and playing, riding fine horses chasing each other, filled with joy, happiness from the depths of their hearts. She couldn't help but say with a hint of envy, "Those children are galloping on horses across the grassland. Why do they look so happy? Is riding horses really that fun?"
A seemingly plain sentence stirred something deep within Ye Chen's heart.
He suddenly felt he had wronged Abenue greatly. After hastily coming together, they had to face countless enemies, constantly fighting, with little time to relax, let alone take her to enjoy the scenery and experience the life a person should have.
Towards Abenue, his heart was filled with regret.
His hand suddenly tightened around Abenue's delicate hand. "I'm sorry, Abenue."
Abenue was slightly puzzled, tilting her head in an exceptionally innocent and adorable manner. "Why are you apologizing, Yue?"
Just as Ye Chen was about to speak, a jade-like hand, fair as mutton fat, covered his mouth. It was Yu Qing. She glanced at him with a smile, then took Abenue's delicate hand and said gently, "Sister Abenue, do you want to ride a horse and be as happy as them?"
Abenue hesitated slightly, but upon seeing Ye Chen's encouraging gaze, she immediately nodded and said cheerfully, "Yes!"
Ye Chen grabbed both women's delicate hands and laughed heartily. "Good! For the next few days, the three of us, husband and wives, will roam freely across these vast mountains and rivers and relax properly."
"Is that really okay?" Abenue was somewhat hesitant. After all, the great battle was in ten days. Wasn't everyone preparing intently?
Ye Chen smiled, wrapping an arm around her slender waist, and said softly, "Why not? The path of cultivation should have its periods of tension and relaxation. It can't always be so strained. We should relax properly; it's also of great help to cultivation. Moreover, ten days won't allow for much improvement in cultivation. It's better to relax our minds and bodies, allowing our mental state to reach its peak. That would be better than ten days of secluded cultivation."
"Mhm!" Whoosh—
Three figures descended from the sky, transforming into three streams of light shooting towards the distant horizon.
