"Emperor Son Yu Heng!"
"Yu Heng, you've come!"
Quite a few Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants greeted Emperor Son Yu Heng.
Emperor Son Yu Heng responded indifferently, his expression as if he did not place the other Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants in his eyes at all. This caused these Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants to feel gloomy and somewhat displeased, but they did not rebuke him, merely clenching their fists tightly.
Emperor Son Yu Heng had now become an inheritor of the Emperor's Dao, especially having mastered the Emperor Realm Power left behind by an Ancient Great Emperor. He was not inferior to the former Weier, possessing supreme power surpassing that of a Divine King.
This was not the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain; they had no Ancient Monarchs backing them here. Therefore, they could only silently endure.
How could Emperor Son Yu Heng be unaware of all this? He merely sneered coldly in his heart. He was no longer the Emperor Son of the past. After obtaining the inheritance of an Ancient Great Emperor and gaining control over the remaining broken Emperor World, everything had changed.
Now, he was the master of the entire Emperor War Domain, peerless in the vast world. Any Emperor Son, Emperor Daughter, Immortal Dao Descendant, including those at the Divine King level, would not be able to withstand a single blow from him; he could suppress them with a mere wave of his hand.
This was absolute confidence derived from his own strength.
Then, his gaze fell upon Ye Chen, and also upon the Jade Qing and A Beinu beside him, revealing a trace of a strange smile. He said, "Battle Saint King, you are quite impressive. Defeating the Life Emperor Son, who was at the half-step Divine King level, while at the late-stage of the Tenth Heaven is truly remarkable, very strong. It somewhat exceeded this seat's expectations."
Many people frowned. Compared to the past, Emperor Son Yu Heng's tone now more resembled that of a great figure looking upon a junior, offering praise.
Ye Chen said lightly, "Thank you for your concern, Emperor Son Yu Heng."
Perhaps because of Ye Chen's use of the equal term "Fellow Daoist" in his address, Emperor Son Yu Heng's brow furrowed slightly. He did not speak, but a Heaven's Pride from his imperial clan stepped forward and shouted loudly, "How insolent! How dare you address our Young Ancestor directly by his title? Hurry and step forward to kowtow and admit your mistake!"
Hearing this, many people's expressions changed as they looked toward Emperor Son Yu Heng. Seeing that the latter did not reprimand the speaking imperial clan Heaven's Pride, they understood much in their hearts.
Emperor Son Yu Heng intended to make an example of the Battle Saint King.
Quite a few people watched the Battle Saint King with a mentality of enjoying the spectacle, curious about how he would respond.
But the other Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Immortal Dao Descendants felt a sense of shared sorrow. If the Battle Saint King truly submitted, their own fates likely wouldn't be much better.
Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly, understanding Emperor Son Yu Heng's approach. The other human Emperor Sons, Emperor Daughters, and Supreme Young Talents all wore gloomy expressions. Was he targeting the human race?
Behind him, the Divine King of the Qin imperial clan looked grim and shouted, "Where did this junior come from, daring to rebuke the Battle Saint King? Even your clan's Young Ancestor wouldn't dare. Slap your own mouth!"
The Heaven's Pride from the Yu Heng imperial clan arrogantly raised his head and snorted coldly, "Old fossil of the Qin family, do you still think this is the Ninth Immortal Pass, where we are restrained by your Qin family?"
"Silence!"
At this moment, Emperor Son Yu Heng spoke up. However, this reprimand carried not the slightest hint of displeasure; it seemed more casual. Then, he smiled faintly at the Qin family Divine King and said, "Please do not take offense. The young Heaven's Pride of my clan is somewhat arrogant."
By now, anyone could tell that the earlier outburst from the Yu Heng imperial clan Heaven's Pride had been intentionally condoned by Emperor Son Yu Heng.
The Divine King of the Qin imperial clan's face turned somewhat ugly. "Emperor Son Yu Heng, letting your clan's junior off without punishment is rather disrespectful to an old-timer like me, isn't it?"
Emperor Son Yu Heng looked at him and said, "What if I don't punish him?"
This single sentence left the Qin family Divine King's face flushed with stifled anger, which then turned very dark. "Don't forget, although this is the Emperor War Domain, my Qin family's Wushi Ancient Ancestor is still present."
Yet at this moment, Emperor Son Yu Heng's expression directly darkened. "Can I interpret this as you threatening me?"
Instantly, the atmosphere in this small area became extremely tense, like a drawn bow.
They heard Emperor Son Yu Heng say, "Although Monarch Wushi is very strong, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. And do you think this Emperor Son truly fears Monarch Wushi? In the Emperor War Domain, this Emperor Son is the master. Even if Monarch Wushi comes, this Emperor Son will not fear him and will suppress him."
"What an extremely arrogant junior!" The Qin family Divine King could not tolerate outsiders insulting Monarch Wushi. He immediately took out a jade token to send a message.
Emperor Son Yu Heng also showed no fear, allowing the other party to send the message. However, there was no reply for a long time, causing the people of the Qin imperial clan to feel a sinking in their hearts. Could it be that even Monarch Wushi truly felt some apprehension toward Emperor Son Yu Heng?
Even Ye Chen was startled. Monarch Wushi shouldn't be like this. He was an invincible existence who had single-handedly slain the Slaughtering Devil Emperor; how could he fear a mere Emperor Son Yu Heng?
He shouldn't even fear an Ancient Great Emperor.
"Heh heh, as expected, Monarch Wushi dares not come either. It seems this Emperor Son's guess was not wrong."
Emperor Son Yu Heng sneered coldly, looking down from a high position upon the human side. Then, he looked at Ye Chen and directly stated his stance: "Battle Saint King, your strength is formidable. From now on, submit to me. In the future, when this Emperor Son achieves the status of the strongest Emperor, there will also be a time for you to become an Emperor!"
This Emperor Son Yu Heng indeed harbored great ambition. He didn't merely wish to become an Emperor, but the strongest Emperor—that kind of peerless existence that would shake the ancient and illuminate the present.
And with such bold words, he claimed he would enable even the Battle Saint King to follow him and achieve Emperorhood.
"What do you say?"
Emperor Son Yu Heng looked at Ye Chen with a lofty, unrivaled tone that overshadowed the entire era.
Ye Chen raised his head to look at him and instead smiled, carrying mockery. "Have me submit? Are you qualified?"
Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Son Yu Heng's face gradually faded. He let out a light sigh, as if lamenting the decline of talent. Then, with overwhelming domineeringness, he declared, "Since you cannot be used by me, nor can you be left as an enemy, I can only send you to your death!"
Boom—
The heavens collapsed and the earth split. Surging Emperor Realm Power erupted, then blasted toward Ye Chen below. This single strike contained absolute offensive power, capable of slaying any Divine King.
The other party was intent on killing Ye Chen.
Behind, the human Divine Kings were all startled. At this moment, Monarch Wushi had not responded, clearly unable to intervene. Facing this, Ye Chen would most likely meet his end, his Dao extinguished. Even if they tried to rescue him now, it would be too late.
Everyone looked at Ye Chen. To their surprise, the Battle Saint King remained composed, unperturbed. Even his two beloved wives, the five Divine Kings, the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor, and the Mountain Chicken were the same. The two Four Tribulation Divine King followers were also similarly calm.
They were all puzzled. At a time like this, how could they still maintain such tranquility?
Boom—
Suddenly, that vast Emperor Realm Power exploded, unable to reach before Ye Chen.
Before him appeared a seemingly tender and tiny little figure. Yet, standing there, with just a single punch, all the Emperor Realm Power was blasted apart, unable to approach even a hair's breadth closer.
Great Emperor Reincarnation Body!
