Yu Qing asked, "Has anyone from our human race entered that mysterious great world?"
"Not for now," Shen Rong replied. "The powerhouses of the Emperor Clan Qin Family do not permit it. They have all sensed an aura of disgust emanating from the depths of their bloodline—the aura of the Chaos Burial Ground from ancient times. Therefore, they temporarily forbid humans from setting foot in that mysterious great world, fearing unforeseen problems. The people of the Emperor Clan Qin Family have all sent messages to the Worldless Monarch at the Ninth Heavenly Pass, but the Worldless Monarch has yet to give any other reply."
"Is that so?" Ye Chen looked towards the distant horizon, as if gazing towards the far end of the Emperor Battle Domain, an infinite distance away, at that mysterious great world extremely close to the Chaos Burial Ground.
"What about the others?"
He was referring to the other Emperor Sons and Daughters, and the Strongest Young Supremes of the human race.
The Angel Emperor's Son said, "Emperor Wuming and Emperor Wushuang have ventured deep into the furthest reaches of the Emperor Battle Domain. Earlier, when they attempted to break through to the Divine King realm, they encountered obstruction from others, nearly failed, and did not successfully undergo the Divine King Tribulation. They sustained injuries and are currently recuperating. However, it seems they are also in a standoff with other hostile Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants, making it difficult for them to move away in the short term."
"The other Emperor Sons and Daughters are doing fine. For instance, Ye Cangqiong, I heard he is also about to attempt a breakthrough to the Half-Step Divine King realm and is in deep seclusion. I believe it won't be long now."
"Now, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor and the Mountain Chicken have risen to fame. In the Emperor Battle Domain, they are famously known as great bandits," Shen Rong suddenly said, recalling these two Strongest Young Supremes and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although both were Strongest Young Supremes, they were unusually shameless, similar to Weier. He continued, "They now specialize in plundering all major forces except those of the human race, and they haven't even spared Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao Descendants."
"If it were just the two of them, it might be manageable, but they are accompanied by three super-powerful followers who have reached the Second Tribulation Divine King level. This has left many major forces helpless, directly plundered clean, and even beaten up without warning—utterly shameless."
"A saying is now widely circulated in the Emperor Battle Domain: Beware of fire, beware of thieves, beware of the Chicken and the Insect!"
The 'Chicken' referred to the Mountain Chicken's 'chicken'.
The 'Insect' referred to the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor's 'insect'!
One could imagine how notorious the two had become in the Emperor Battle Domain.
Ye Chen and the other two gave a bitter smile, not expecting the pair to have stirred up such a reputation in the Emperor Battle Domain in the short time since they left.
Boom—
Suddenly, radiant light filled the sky outside the small world. A supreme treasure had appeared, attracting the attention of powerhouses from all sides, who rushed out of the small world.
Among them, a sealed small world had appeared, similar to the Empty Primordial Origin Heaven and Earth—an inner world of origin, not particularly significant, merely a fragment of heaven and earth with its origin collapsing and rapidly shattering.
However, within that shattered fragment of heaven and earth, a blazing light the size of a human head appeared, like a small sun transformed from a Golden Crow. It was a piece of Eternal Sun Crimson Gold, about the size of a fist, priceless in the world, instantly driving all sides into a frenzy.
The human side naturally would not let go of such Chaos Immortal Gold either, instantly soaring into the sky. Ye Chen and the others were among them.
A great battle erupted!
"Scram!"
Several Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao Descendants appeared, their bodies exploding with boundless divine might, comparable to Third Tribulation Divine Kings.
One of them was the Life Emperor's Son, supremely invincible. The Life Ancient Tree blotted out the sky and sun, its canopy seemingly capable of completely submerging all the stars of the heavens. Surging with world-shaking life energy, it was also terrifying.
That Life Ancient Tree, piercing through the clouds, lowered countless vine tendrils as thick as mountains, carrying the divine might of the Great Dao, rumbling as they swept towards the powerhouses from all sides. In an instant, over ninety percent of the powerhouses were swept away. In the end, only Emperor Sons and Daughters, Immortal Dao Descendants, Divine Kings, and similar figures were qualified to compete.
Yet, there were still over fifteen people vying for it.
The most powerful among them were three Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons. They battled fiercely around the Eternal Sun Crimson Gold. Such Chaos Immortal Gold was something that even ancient Great Emperors and Supreme Immortals would covet; how could they give it up?
Rumble—
Just as the three Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons were locked in an evenly matched battle, a figure suddenly pierced through the field formed by the divine might of the three, inserted itself among them, landed before the Eternal Sun Crimson Gold, and reached out to grab it.
"It's you, Battle Saint King!"
The three Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons were startled. That person was none other than the Battle Saint King. However, at this moment, he was enveloped in surging ancient Chaos Qi, resisting the vast divine might of the Great Dao, and was extremely close to the Eternal Sun Crimson Gold.
"I haven't come looking for you yet, and you take the initiative to come to me. Are you seeking an early battle? I'll kill you right now!"
Meeting an enemy, their eyes turned red with fury. The Life Emperor's Son's expression turned exceptionally cold. With a tremble of the Life Ancient Tree, a swath of emerald-green radiance surged towards Ye Chen, representing infinite vitality. Yet, when applied in reverse, it also became a terrifyingly lethal weapon.
The other two Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons naturally would not allow Ye Chen to seize the treasure and also made their moves.
"Scram!"
At this moment, a clear, cold shout suddenly exploded, rolling and echoing across the entire firmament. A graceful azure figure was seen traversing the sky, a pure land domain expanding. The attacks of the three Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons were all annihilated into nothingness.
Yu Qing arrived before Ye Chen, standing side by side with him. The imposing aura of a Divine King level Strongest Young Supreme was peerless, causing everyone else to pale in comparison. No one dared to make another move.
She was a truly peak existence in the entire Emperor Battle Domain. Even Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Sons were no match for her.
The Eternal Sun Crimson Gold fell into Ye Chen's hand and was then stored within his body.
"Battle Saint King, relying on a woman for protection, what kind of hero are you!" The Life Emperor's Son's expression darkened. Clearly, the Eternal Sun Crimson Gold falling into his enemy's hands displeased him greatly, so he now resorted to verbal mockery.
"Do you wish to die?"
Yu Qing's cold eyes narrowed. Though she appeared as graceful as an immortal, a world-shaking level of divine might was slowly unfurling from her body. Under such divine might, even a Half-Step Divine King level Emperor Son like the Life Emperor's Son felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.
Half-Step Divine King and Divine King—a single step apart, yet a vast gap existed.
In a real battle, he was no match for Yu Qing at all.
The Life Emperor's Son remained silent. He was not some arrogant fool. At this moment, he knew that saying one more bad word about Ye Chen would likely provoke a storm-like offensive from this peerlessly beautiful woman before him—something he could not withstand at present.
Seeing this, the Life Emperor's Son could only angrily flick his sleeves and leave, unwilling to invite further trouble. He could only throw down a harsh remark: "On another day, in a fair battle, you won't have your wife protecting you by your side. Let's see how you fight me then."
Boom—
Suddenly, a blazing Chaos light exploded, then heavily slammed into the Life Emperor's Son.
The Life Emperor's Son sensed immense danger, turned, and struck out with heaven-shaking divine might to block it.
Rumble—
The heavens collapsed and the earth split. The Life Emperor's Son's figure was sent flying back over a hundred miles.
Looking again, that Chaos light was none other than the Chaos Great Cauldron, which had struck out at some unknown time. The Life Emperor's Son was caught off guard, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
The Life Emperor's Son's expression turned cold and angry, but he also felt some shock in his heart, because this single strike had actually injured him.
"No need to wait for another day. Today, I shall behead you!"
A clear, cold voice echoed through the infinite void. It was Ye Chen speaking.
