In the eyes of the Maha Imperial Clan Divine King, Ye Chen was far too young. To become a One-Calamity Divine King at such an age was already remarkable; to have stepped into deeper realms was simply unrealistic.
"Little friend!"
Old Divine King Canghua was startled.
"Still using such useless tricks?"
Ye Chen smiled, a chilling smile. "Back then, even when I wasn't a Divine King, I could defy the world and slay Divine Kings. How much more so now? A mere Three-Calamity Divine King thinks he can handle me?"
"Scram!"
A great shout shook the heavens and earth for millions of miles around. The flick of his sleeve directly shattered and pulverized the Maha Imperial Clan Divine King's mightiest attack, turning it into dust and smoke!
"How is this possible!?"
On the Ancestral God Pass, not only the five alien race Divine Kings, but also the other three Divine Kings and the many experts guarding the pass all changed expressions drastically. Such a method truly surpassed ordinary imagination.
That was a terrifying attack capable of severely wounding or even killing a One-Calamity Divine King, yet Ye Chen had resolved it with such ease and indifference. Didn't that mean Ye Chen was no ordinary Divine King?
"Attack! Kill him together!"
However, the five alien race Divine Kings reacted immediately. The more fearsome the methods Ye Chen displayed, the more intense their killing intent became, for it could only mean Ye Chen was a super talent of immense potential among the rising generation. Once such a genius grew up, even if only one, he would pose a certain threat to the entire alien race.
For such threats, their longstanding method had always been to strangle them in the cradle, never allowing them to grow.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—
The five alien race Divine Kings attacked. Divine King radiance blazed brilliantly, shaking this stretch of heaven and earth as they instantly rushed to Ye Chen's side.
Their speed was extreme. Each unleashed several strands of Divine King Great Dao origin. One among them even had a God King Spirit materialize, causing the other two Divine Kings to exclaim in shock: "The Divine King from the Six Paths Imperial Clan has actually become a Four-Calamity Divine King and even condensed a God King Spirit! Now, even if this human race young Divine King has reached the Three-Calamity level, he likely cannot withstand this. Moreover, these alien race Divine Kings are sparing no effort, disregarding face to bully the few with numbers. Though he knows his own heaven-defying talent, he is doomed to fall."
The two Divine Kings sighed with regret. Perhaps Ye Chen was very young and very powerful, as could be seen from his earlier methods. Perhaps he had reached the Three-Calamity Divine King level. But facing five alien race Divine Kings who were also at the Three-Calamity level, with one even at the Four-Calamity level, he simply wasn't enough. His fall seemed a foregone conclusion.
"A pity. He is strong, young, with astonishing potential. If given another thousand or ten thousand years, these alien race Divine Kings would be no match for him. But there are never any 'ifs'."
Especially since the Six Paths Imperial Clan Divine King was a Four-Calamity Divine King. Once reaching the Four-Calamity level, one could comprehend Intent. Combined with Great Dao origin of the same source, one could condense a God King Spirit, equivalent to gaining an extra Four-Calamity Divine King level combatant. Thus, Ye Chen was far from being a match.
"Let me handle it, little friend."
Old Divine King Canghua spoke. A God King Spirit actually appeared around him as well—he was clearly also a veteran Four-Calamity Divine King, quite powerful.
"Senior, rest assured. These people don't require your help yet." Ye Chen gave him a confident smile, startling Old Divine King Canghua, who nonetheless nodded. However, the God King Spirit remained manifested, ready to assist at a critical moment to allow Ye Chen to escape.
"So this is the alien race's method? As expected, you only know how to bully the few with numbers."
Facing the encirclement of the five alien race Divine Kings, Ye Chen showed not the slightest change in expression. On the contrary, he wore thick mockery and disdain.
"The victor is king, the loser a bandit. Brat, you'll be dead soon. Any last words?" The Futu Imperial Clan Divine King sneered, looking at him as if he were already dead.
"Last words? You should be the ones giving your last words."
Ye Chen scoffed coldly.
"A human junior who remains stubborn even at death's door. Fine, today we'll let you understand what death means!"
The five alien race Divine Kings all attacked, whooshing as they charged at Ye Chen.
Boom!—
A deafening explosion erupted—a collision at the Divine King level. Figures were sent flying backward, blood continuously spraying through the air.
Yet, what left everyone on the Ancestral God Pass dumbstruck was that the figures sent flying were not Ye Chen, but the five alien race Divine Kings. They came fast, but went even faster, all sent flying backward, each with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
"Heavens, am I seeing this right!?"
"The five alien race Divine King ancestors were sent flying? How is this possible?"
"What exactly happened?"
The various experts on the Ancestral God Pass were all wide-eyed and tongue-tied, unable to believe it.
Not just them, even the three Divine Kings hadn't clearly seen what happened. Behind them, Old Divine King Canghua was also utterly stunned.
"Hahaha! Is this all the alien race is capable of? So-called alien race Divine Kings are nothing more than this!"
Ye Chen laughed heartily, standing proudly in mid-air. At this moment, he appeared incomparably arrogant, looking down from on high. His figure whooshed as he dove down, reaching an extreme speed, instantly arriving before the Futu Imperial Clan Divine King.
"Junior, die for this Divine King!"
The Futu Imperial Clan Divine King roared, about to unleash the Futu Imperial Clan's divine ability. Behind him, a Thousand-Handed Futu apparition materialized—a forbidden divine ability—for he felt a bone-chilling crisis spreading from his heart, utterly startling.
Roar!—
Yet at this moment, Ye Chen didn't employ any divine ability. He merely let out a great roar.
The roar shook heaven and earth, shattering and vibrating everything. The entire Ancestral God Pass trembled violently; the Primordial Divine Sea exploded with boundless waves.
The Futu Imperial Clan Divine King, bearing the brunt, wore an expression of horror before his entire body exploded—both flesh and divine soul.
The world was shocked. A Divine King exploded from a single roar!
What kind of roar was this?
Yet they didn't know how powerful Ye Chen truly was. He was originally a Five-Calamity Divine King, moreover a Chaos Divine King, also the Chaos Young Supreme who had suppressed the various heaven's supreme geniuses. His combat power approached that of a peak Divine King. Added to becoming the master of the Chaos Heavenly Mansion and ruling the vast Chaos Sacred Realm over the years, he had long nurtured a dominating majesty.
A roar from a Chaos Divine King could shatter starry skies; roaring an ordinary Divine King to explosion was naturally not impossible.
But everyone was startled, for such a scene truly frightened them all, unprecedented. A powerful alien race Divine King had been blasted to death right before their eyes, unbelievable.
Whoosh!—
By now, Ye Chen had already charged over, instantly arriving before the Maha Imperial Clan Divine King.
The Maha Imperial Clan Divine King's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly turned to flee, joining the other three alien Imperial Clan Divine Kings, absolutely daring not to face Ye Chen alone, for he was too terrifying, knowing he was not even a match for a single exchange.
"Think you can escape?"
Ye Chen, however, sneered coldly, looking down from above. One foot stamped down heavily onto the Maha Imperial Clan Divine King's body. A cracking sound rang out. The alien race Divine King was as if struck by lightning, his body filled with cracks, nearly splitting apart, bearing an unbearable weight.
Strong! Too strong!
Only now did everyone realize that although Ye Chen was a Divine King, he was no ordinary Divine King. His combat power far surpassed that of Three or Four-Calamity Divine Kings. He was very likely a Divine King who had passed five or six Divine King calamities, and even more possibly a super Divine King above the Seven-Calamity level.
"A super Divine King?"
Their hearts shook. Though they found it hard to believe, aside from such a super Divine King, even a Six-Calamity Divine King probably didn't possess such terrifying divine might.
"Maha Xu!"
The other three alien Imperial Clan Divine Kings swiftly rushed over. They all knew Ye Chen was strong. To deal with him, only by joining forces was there a possibility; otherwise, they risked being picked off one by one, which they absolutely did not wish to see.
Boom!—
A expanse of chaotic light exploded, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, flooding this region, actually evolving into a domain.
It was a field, preventing the three alien Imperial Clan Divine Kings from entering, isolating them outside.
"You think you ordinary Divine Kings can stop me? Hah, even if a Seven-Calamity Divine King came, I'd suppress him with a raised hand!"
Ye Chen scoffed coldly, his words not lacking in domineering intent, shocking everyone. Even a super Divine King as powerful as a Seven-Calamity one would be suppressed if he came? Could he be a peak Divine King of Eight or even Nine Calamities?
"Die!"
Ye Chen's other foot descended, stamping down heavily as if containing the force of billions of jun. The already splitting Maha Imperial Clan Divine King exploded completely at this moment, his divine soul also torn apart. Blood light shot into the sky as he was utterly smashed to pieces, falling right then!
One roar, one stomp. Two alien race Divine Kings smashed to pieces, fallen!
Everyone on the Ancestral God Pass was horrified, their expressions changing drastically. Such capability truly far exceeded everyone's imagination. An ordinary Divine King simply could not possess such ability; only the most top-tier Divine Kings could achieve this.
"So strong!"
Even Old Divine King Canghua behind him was astonished.
"Retreat!"
The other three alien race Divine Kings saw the situation turning unfavorable and immediately fled, for they all sensed that this human race young Divine King before them was at the very least a super Divine King above the Seven-Calamity level.
"Since you've come, you might as well stay. I'd quite like to know some news regarding the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain."
Ye Chen smiled, yet that smile, no matter how one looked, appeared so icy and ruthless, carrying boundless killing intent.
He flicked his fingers, sending three sword beams soaring into the sky one after another. Each was a hundred thousand miles long, sword energy crisscrossing, descending from the heavens like three sword mountains, pressing down heavily from above onto the three remaining alien race Divine Kings.
These were sword rays containing the Chaos Great Dao—Chaos Sword Rays—capable of annihilating everything. Even Divine Kings could not withstand them. Instantly, their flesh, protective divine armor, and Dao weapons disintegrated and vanished, leaving only their divine souls remaining.
Even that Six Paths Imperial Clan Four-Calamity Divine King was the same, split apart instantly. His God King Spirit didn't even have time to manifest before being annihilated in a flash.
The Chaos Sword Rays transformed into Chaos Light Rings, wrapping around the three alien race Divine Kings and bringing them back, landing before Ye Chen.
Everyone on the Ancestral God Pass watched, their scalps tingling. In just a few flicks of the fingers, two of the five aggressively arriving alien Imperial Clan Divine Kings had been slain, three easily suppressed.
If not seen with their own eyes, they wouldn't dare believe there existed someone in the world so terrifying and so young.
"Ah—! Brat, release us immediately! Otherwise, our clan will not spare you! Our Lord will personally hunt you down, leaving you no place to hide between heaven and earth!"
The alien race Divine Kings within the three Chaos Light Rings roared with boundless threat, demanding Ye Chen release them at once.
"Won't spare me? Hah, the alien race would need the strength for that."
Ye Chen gave a cold laugh. Without another word, he directly raised a hand and obliterated the divine soul avatar of one alien race Divine King within a Chaos Light Ring, so easily, body and soul extinguished, dead beyond dead.
The divine soul avatars of the other two alien race Divine Kings were as silent as cicadas in winter. This human race young Divine King before them was like a demon, utterly cold and ruthless.
"Human junior, if you dare kill us, our clan will utterly annihilate the entire human race! You'd best release us!"
Pfft!—
Ye Chen raised his hand again, obliterating another alien race Divine King's divine soul—the strongest one, the Six Paths Imperial Clan Four-Calamity Divine King. Yet it was done so easily and effortlessly, without even a twitch of his eyelid, as if merely crushing ants, his heart as calm as an ancient well, all the more shocking the experts on the Ancestral God Pass. This was absolutely a super expert decisive in killing.
The one finally left was none other than the Maha Imperial Clan Divine King, Maha Xu, an acquaintance from back in the day, having met a few times.
"Maha Xu, I hear your alien race intends to annihilate my human race, even planning to take action within these two days, launching a total offensive. I want to know all strategic deployments, and how many Ancient Monarchs and how many Supreme Emperor Weapons the alien race possesses!"
Ye Chen looked down from above, gazing upon the alien race Divine King Maha Xu within the Chaos Light Ring in his palm as if looking down at an ant, making Maha Xu feel deeply humiliated. Yet his life and death were not in his own hands, leaving him helpless.
Just who was this young Divine King before him? He always felt a sense of familiarity, yet couldn't recall where he had seen him before. Moreover, he possessed such peerless, matchless super power, making his divine soul tremble. But now, he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "You wish to know? Even if you know now, what does it matter? My clan is destined to dominate the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain, rule the Ten Heavens! You'd best be sensible and release me obediently. Perhaps I can plead for you, so that when my clan hunts you down in the future, they might spare your life, only abolishing your cultivation."
"Hah, the alien race wants to dominate the Ten Heavens Ancient Domain? Wants to exterminate my human race?"
Ye Chen clenched his five fingers, grabbing Maha Xu's divine soul avatar in his palm, saying coldly, "Have you really still not remembered who I am by now?"
Maha Xu was truly puzzled. He simply couldn't recall the true identity of this human race young Divine King before him.
"I suppressed your clan's Imperial Daughter."
Ye Chen calmly uttered two words. In that instant, Maha Xu within the Chaos Light Ring was as if struck by lightning. The eyes of his divine soul avatar widened, staring at Ye Chen's face, gradually overlapping with the imagined face of that human race peerless monster from back then. Finally understanding, he said dazedly, "Battle Saint King... you are the Battle Saint King!?"
"Battle Saint King!?"
Not just Maha Xu, but the other experts on the Ancestral God Pass were also violently shaken, their hearts surging with towering waves of shock, equally filled with incomparable astonishment.
Battle Saint King! This human race young Divine King before them was actually the Battle Saint King!
"Yes, I am the Battle Saint King!"
Ye Chen nodded, admitting it!
