At this moment, Ye Chen placed his hands on the two of them, circulating the Divine King Heaven-Penetrating Art. He extracted two streams of life essence from his Great Emperor reincarnation body and infused them into the two.
Visible to the naked eye, the injuries on the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken rapidly recovered at a visible speed. In less than a moment, they were completely healed.
Even the Dao injuries within their bodies were thoroughly eliminated under the powerful efficacy of this life essence, an effect that could be called heaven-defying.
"Hahaha, Little Moon, you've finally come." The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor stood up in its humanoid form, reaching a height of about ten feet. A Dragon Fist directly struck Ye Chen's body, producing a metallic clang that even made its own dragon fist ache faintly. It clicked its tongue in surprise, "Twenty years apart, your Chaos Saint Body seems even stronger."
On the other side, Mountain Chicken also looked at Ye Chen with shining eyes, rubbing its hands together, "Speaking of which, Little Moon, could you teach us the method to cultivate the Chaos Saint Body?"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes at them, letting them interpret the meaning themselves.
At the same time, from the distant sky, a series of cold gazes swept over, clearly having discovered Ye Chen and the others' traces. However, when they clearly saw who it was, they were immediately dumbfounded: "Battle Saint King!?"
Clearly, they were all shocked. At the same time, a deep trace of apprehension surfaced in their eyes.
Even after twenty years had passed, the prestige of the Battle Saint King had not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, like fine wine, this prestige often grew more profound with the passage of time.
How powerful the Battle Saint King was back then was a recognized fact, and they had also fought against him in the Martial Practice Heaven and Earth, gaining some understanding.
Moreover, twenty years had passed. Although their own cultivation had increased significantly, they did not believe that the Battle Saint King had remained stagnant while they progressed. They even faintly sensed that increasingly unfathomable, majestic aura, which made their hearts tremble with fear.
Therefore, upon learning that the Battle Saint King had stepped in to save the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken, the twelve super-powerful experts all began to harbor thoughts of retreat.
It was because of the Battle Saint King, and also, how could it not be because of Yu Qing, who stood silently by his side—a true Divine King-level Strongest Young Supreme, an existence standing at the very pinnacle of the pyramid in the Emperor War Domain.
With such a lineup, wanting to compete for that Soul Divine Treasure would be extremely difficult.
"What should we do?"
The other eleven super-powerful experts all looked towards the Half-Step Divine King-level Imperial Son who was implicitly their leader.
This Half-Step Divine King-level Imperial Son also had a look of sighing and apprehension on his face. He shook his head slightly, making the others feel somewhat disheartened. Were they really only able to watch this Soul Divine Treasure, which could even tempt Ancient Monarchs, slip away from before their eyes?
They were all somewhat unwilling.
"We cannot fight. I do not fear the Battle Saint King, but that Divine King Yu Qing is far stronger than I am," the Half-Step Divine King-level Imperial Son spoke, carrying a strong sense of apprehension.
Don't think that the gap between Half-Step Divine King and Divine King is only half a step; that gap is actually extremely vast and difficult to bridge.
Moreover, both are of the Strongest Young Supreme level, making it even more impossible to cross.
Deeply aware of this, the others felt helpless and also some resentment. This Battle Saint King always disrupted their opportunities at critical moments, truly detestable.
"Since the Battle Saint King has arrived, we shall give the Battle Saint King face. Today, we will let you two off."
The twelve super-powerful experts could only speak with such helplessness. The Soul Divine Treasure of an Ancient Monarch was of immeasurable value; none among them were willing to give it up, but they had no choice.
"Let's go!"
The twelve super-powerful experts turned to leave.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken both breathed a sigh of relief. Although they very much wanted revenge, the opponent's lineup was truly extraordinary, so they could only swallow their grievances.
As if knowing what they were thinking, Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Do you want to retaliate?"
The two were slightly taken aback at first, but upon seeing the expression on Ye Chen's face, they immediately reacted with a start, their faces filled with pleasant surprise as they hurriedly nodded, "Of course we do."
"Since you want to, then retaliate. Our human race side is not one that anyone can bully casually," Ye Chen said.
"Hahaha—"
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken couldn't help but laugh heartily. Since Ye Chen had spoken like this, it meant he had confidence.
Boom—
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor extended a dragon claw, instantly blotting out the sky, then fiercely swatted towards the twelve super-powerful experts who were turning to leave.
The sky and firmament in that area immediately collapsed into nothingness.
"How dare you!"
The twelve super-powerful experts were enraged. One among them made a move, raising a hand to meet the descending sky-blotting dragon claw. A fierce collision shook heaven and earth, and the attack was also blocked.
"Such audacity! We have already spared you two out of respect for the Battle Saint King, yet you still dare to attack. Do you truly seek death?"
The Immortal Dao Descendant who controlled thunder coldly shouted. The others all had icy expressions, looking very displeased.
"Who needs you to spare us? Hah!" The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken both sneered. They had almost been crushed to pieces; they were not people of deep scheming, nor did they possess the dignity of a Strongest Young Supreme. They were people who repaid the slightest grievance, so how could they let go of this great opportunity.
"Hmph, do you still want to fight back against us?" An Imperial Son spoke, a trace of coldness and anger in his eyes. They had already taken the initiative to withdraw, but who would have thought the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken would speak up at this moment? Did they really want to continue the battle? Wasn't that just delaying time? Couldn't they see the current situation clearly?
Although the Battle Saint King had arrived, making it difficult for them to continue seizing that Soul Divine Treasure, it didn't mean they were afraid.
On the contrary, their side, possessing seven Imperial Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, and five Divine Kings, had great confidence.
"Hahaha, since that's the case, let's continue the battle then."
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor laughed heartily.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "The Battle Saint lineage has never been one to fear trouble. If you want to fight, then fight!"
With Ye Chen's support, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and Mountain Chicken gained the greatest courage. Since he had spoken like this, they also had great confidence in this battle.
"Battle Saint King, you—"
The twelve super-powerful experts on the other side were furious. This Battle Saint King truly didn't know his place, and they were not ones to fear trouble either.
Twenty years had passed. The Battle Saint King might have also made progress, but he had basically disappeared from sight, most likely in seclusion. Meanwhile, they had been competing for various divine treasures and resources, also receiving many legacies. Their cultivation improvements were not just minor.
The seven Imperial Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants here were all already at the true tenth heaven, and one was even at the Half-Step Divine King level. They had not exerted their full strength before, which was also a great threat.
However, on Ye Chen's side, there was Yu Qing.
Yu Qing took a light step forward on her lotus feet, and a truly supreme-level Divine King imposing might suddenly erupted from her body. Under this might, it seemed as though everyone in this region was a god, while only she was the King of Gods, a true Divine King.
Even the five Divine Kings appeared quite weak under Yu Qing's imposing might, far inferior by comparison.
