"Ah—"
Qishi Shenwang suffered severe blows to his physical body, his divine soul, and even his Dao Heart.
All along, although he was not as lofty and invincible among his generation as the Qitian Emperor's Son within the Qitian Emperor Clan, he had still cultivated into a Supreme Talent, sweeping through the younger generation with few rivals. Later, he even received the baptism of the Emperor's Dao inheritance within the Emperor Clan. Although it was not as supreme as the inheritance obtained by Wei Er and others, it was still an extraordinary baptism that refined his bloodline power, making it purer and closer to that of the first-generation Emperor Sons and Daughters.
Today, having displayed his strongest state, he believed that even if he couldn't sweep aside other Emperor Sons and Daughters or Immortal Dao descendants, he could at least put up a real fight. Yet, he never expected that facing the Battle Saint King, both being in the realm of Five Tribulation Divine Kings, he would be so utterly crushed and directly defeated.
Especially that final sentence struck an especially heavy blow to him—
"Though we are both Five Tribulation Divine Kings, in my eyes, you are nothing but a clay chicken or a pottery dog, utterly unworthy of a single blow!"
The Battle Saint King's voice seemed to still echo by his ear, destabilizing his Dao Heart and making him feel his own weakness.
Boom—
At the same time, Ye Chen made his move again. A Chaos great hand blotted out the sky and seized Qishi Shenwang. Empowered by Chaos force, Qishi Shenwang was unable to struggle. Then, with a forceful exertion—
Boom—
The once arrogant Qishi Shenwang was smashed to pieces, leaving only a small divine soul figure. Even this was torn apart repeatedly, becoming extremely weak. Vast amounts of divine soul essence sprayed out, but he did not perish outright.
Because daring to harm a senior Divine King of the human race was unforgivable. Ye Chen would not let him die so easily.
Furthermore, Ye Chen channeled all this divine soul essence into Di Lan's body, replenishing the weakness of his divine soul.
"Battle Saint King!"
By this time, the alien race army had long been at the gates. The numerous alien race Divine Kings finally reacted, their faces cold as they charged over, their killing intent boundless: "Release Qishi Shenwang and the several Emperor Sons and Daughters Young Ancestors immediately! Kneel and admit your wrongs, and we might grant you a swift death!"
Regarding the Battle Saint King, the alien race wished to kill him as soon as possible. Due to his multiple identities—whether as a descendant of the Battle Saint lineage, a Chaos Young Supreme, or one who suppressed and slew alien race Emperor Sons and Daughters, and being the strongest young supreme of the human race—with these points, the alien race would never let him go under any circumstances.
Naturally, many alien race powerhouses sneered coldly. They never expected the Battle Saint King to return and even deliver himself to their doorstep. What a foolish act.
Moreover, it very likely indicated that the other human race Heaven's Prides had returned one by one.
Originally, after the human race entered the old Primordial Path, it was somewhat difficult for the alien race to eliminate the remaining humans. But now, unexpectedly, they had returned, allowing them to be captured in one fell swoop.
Those individuals were all Emperor Sons and Daughters, the strongest young supremes, the most talented geniuses with hopes of attaining the Emperor Dao in the future. If allowed to grow, even if they didn't become Supreme Ones, they would inevitably become extremely fearsome super-powerful experts, posing a certain threat to the alien race's ancient cosmos. Naturally, they had to find ways to strangle these potential great threats in their cradle of growth.
Those alien race Emperor Sons and Daughters looked over, each unable to help shaking their heads.
Even though the Battle Saint King displayed peerless combat power that crushed Qishi Shenwang, making even many Emperor Sons and Daughters and Immortal Dao descendants feel they couldn't catch up, his return now was a suicidal act. Truly a person with courage but no strategy.
It was just a pity for such a Chaos Young Supreme; even as an enemy, it was somewhat regrettable.
"Battle Saint King, I once told you to leave. Your return now is merely delivering yourself to death." The Six Paths Emperor's Son sighed, feeling some regret, for this was a true opponent.
Di Wentian's gaze was profound. Unlike the other alien races filled with killing intent, a peculiar emotion welled up within him instead—seemingly also regretful, even disappointed. He murmured to himself, "Imperial Father, is this the key person you were willing to bear Supreme Karma and enter the River of Time to save back then?"
Quietly, an unprecedented supreme power surged within his body, filling his limbs and bones, causing the void to tremble. A terrifying divine might slowly seeped from within, drawing the attention of the other alien race Emperor Sons and Daughters.
"Di Wentian!" Mo Shitian frowned, only to find Di Wentian's gaze fixed on the distant Battle Saint King in the sky. He asked suspiciously, "You also want to kill him?"
Di Wentian did not speak, but his aura slowly converged, entering a fearsome state of gathering momentum. This made even a peerless Divine King like Mo Shitian feel a shock. He said, "Don't worry, the Battle Saint King won't escape this time. If you want to deal with him, you can handle him as you wish after we capture him."
Di Wentian remained silent, merely staring at Ye Chen without a word.
"And what if I don't release them?" Facing the alien race's threats, Ye Chen sneered.
"Heh, if you don't, we won't mind taking action directly, suppressing you, personally rescuing the Emperor Sons and Daughters Young Ancestors, and imprisoning your form and spirit, making you wish you were dead but unable to die!" Several alien race Divine Kings sneered coldly, their eyes spewing venomous light.
For a Chaos Young Supreme like the Battle Saint King, they wouldn't let him die easily. They intended to torture him slowly, making him regret offending the alien race.
Ye Chen scoffed: "Do you really think I would foolishly come alone? Everyone, please show yourselves!"
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The moment his words fell, distant on the horizon, streams of light suddenly streaked across the sky like lightning, finally descending before the human pass fortress.
They were precisely Yu Qing, A Beinu, the Corpse-Devouring Insect Emperor, Shan Ji, Ye Cangqiong, Shen Rong, and that batch of Heaven's Pride talents who had entered the Mythical Ruins back then, along with older generation Divine Kings. Moreover, most of these powerhouses had reached the Divine King Realm, with many being outstanding figures among Divine Kings.
Simultaneously, they almost unreservedly unleashed their auras. Wave after wave of supreme Divine King auras erupted, instantly countering the numerous Divine King auras of the alien race, standing in opposition.
Boom rumble rumble—
Under the collision of the numerous Divine King auras from both sides, the void simply couldn't withstand it. Extremely terrifying cracks continuously appeared, the vast heavens collapsing and annihilating into nothingness, leaving nothing behind. It was a sight that made people pale!
"So strong! They only entered the Mythical Ruins for a hundred years, yet the human race powerhouses from back then, whether of the younger generation or the older generation, have grown so much stronger!"
Many were shocked. Although many Emperor Clan Heaven's Prides were no longer present, all those still alive, especially the talents from the Bright Emperor Domain, had without exception reached the Great Ability Realm, their growth immeasurably vast.
Many more had become Divine Kings.
Just this force before them already rivaled numerous Divine Kings. Even though the alien race possessed nearly a hundred Divine Kings, they held no advantage whatsoever before these returned human race powerhouses.
Ye Chen smiled slightly towards the alien race Divine Kings and said, "How about this power?"
