Whoosh—
Ye Chen found a prison beneath the Blue Blood Royal Clan's temple.
It was enormous, like an underground city, spanning hundreds of li in radius. Dense, damp, low houses were packed together, inhabited by millions of human civilians.
All these humans were imprisoned, or more accurately, confined here, treated like livestock and slaves, serving as a source of blood for this clan.
Many withered corpses, drained of all flesh and blood essence, could be seen piled outside the cells.
Seeing Ye Chen's sudden appearance and sensing his powerful aura, they thought he was a powerful member of the Blue Blood Royal Clan and were terrified, kowtowing and begging for mercy in fear.
Cold fury surged in Ye Chen's heart, but he forcefully suppressed it. The Tree of Life within him released rings of emerald-green life light, bathing all the human civilians, restoring their physical strength and soothing their spirits. He said softly, "Do not worry. I am a member of the human race, here to save you. I'm sorry for being late."
Millions of human civilians wept with joy. Some elders couldn't hold back their tears, nodding repeatedly. "I knew it. The human imperial clans would not abandon us. They would come to save us in the end."
They did not blame Ye Chen for being late, even though so many of their relatives and friends had become blood sacrifices for the Blue Blood Royal Clan. They were overjoyed and heartened by his arrival.
They were always so simple and pure.
The more they were like this, the more Ye Chen felt a pang in his heart.
Swoosh—
He gathered all the suffering human clansmen into his Inner World, appearing in the Kongchu Heaven and Earth.
When he had left the Emperor War Battlefield, he had also taken the Kongchu Heaven and Earth and dozens of other Essence Inner Worlds into his body, storing them within the Extinction Emperor World of his Great Emperor reincarnation body.
Then, Ye Chen's gaze turned icy cold, his eyes shining brilliantly as they shot out two swords—gaze-formed heavenly swords—that soared into the ninth heaven, slashing at this Essence Inner World of the Blue Blood Royal Clan.
This Essence Inner World was stained with the blood aura of human civilians. Ye Chen was so disgusted he wanted to destroy it, unwilling to keep it.
Boom—
Under Ye Chen's will, the entire Essence Inner World of the Blue Blood Royal Clan began to collapse.
Moreover, he opened up the Chaos Small Universe within his body. At this stage, it had evolved to an unimaginable level, capable of devouring the essence of other worlds to grow.
The entire Essence Inner World's origin was devoured, and the Chaos Small Universe began to expand further.
"The Blue Blood Royal Clan deserves annihilation. Any force that participated in the massacre of the human race, regardless of which force it is, shall also be annihilated!"
Ye Chen's gaze was exceptionally cold, filled with boundless icy intent.
At the same time, people from the outside world learned that the Battle Saint King had gone to the Blue Blood Royal Clan. Their hearts pounded with fear, a sense of foreboding gripping them. They immediately contacted their acquaintances within the Blue Blood Royal Clan.
However, after a long time, there was still no response. Finally, trembling with fear, they went to the Inner World where the Blue Blood Royal Clan resided, only to discover a collapsed, dim world devoid of life, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The Blue Blood Royal Clan had been exterminated!
This news spread throughout the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain at an astonishing speed, causing a huge uproar.
Without a doubt, it was the Battle Saint King's doing.
This was a forceful declaration. Those who dared to attack the human race, even if it was just a small tribe, village, sect, or kingdom, would have justice sought for them, with clan extermination serving as a warning—the human race cannot be bullied!
Upon learning that the Battle Saint King had annihilated the Blue Blood Royal Clan, the various royal clans that had previously attacked the human race panicked. They immediately made full preparations and sought to summon powerful experts from the imperial clans and Immortal Clans for support.
Unfortunately, the speed of their pleas for aid was far outpaced by the speed of their annihilation. Ye Chen was too fast and too strong. Even though many of these royal clans had Divine King ancestors, they were no match for his current strength, comparable to a Quasi-Monarch. He could suppress and kill a Divine King with a mere wave of his hand.
Subsequently, the Red Sand Royal Clan, the Night Moon Royal Clan, the Five Mountains Royal Clan, the Bloodsucking Royal Clan, the Corpse Demon Royal Clan... one after another, the royal clans that had carried out massacres against the human race were successively annihilated by Ye Chen, wiped clean from the world, becoming mere dust of history.
Within a single day, a full eighteen royal clans vanished, all ranked within the top five hundred of the three thousand royal clans, causing immense panic throughout the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
Only at this point did the world truly understand that the appearance of the Battle Saint King represented the supreme majesty of the entire human race as a great clan. Even facing the most terrifying war, they were not to be violated.
Any royal clan or top-tier major force that dared to massacre the human race would be annihilated by the Battle Saint King.
"The Battle Saint King is too domineering! He actually annihilated eighteen powerful royal clans ranked within the top five hundred in a single day!"
"The Battle Saint King has lost all humanity! Although the Blue Blood Royal Clan and the Night Moon Royal Clan had dealt with the human race, it was only the actions of their higher-ups. Now they've been exterminated, not even sparing women, children, or the elderly. This is truly a heinous crime."
"That's not quite right. These royal clans, like the Blue Blood Royal Clan, have massacred many human tribes during this period, also not sparing women, children, or the elderly. Some, like the Blue Blood Royal Clan and the Bloodsucking Royal Clan, even treat human blood as precious wine to drink—extremely bloody. Now, the Battle Saint King is merely repaying them in their own coin."
"The various imperial clans and Immortal Clans will certainly not stand idly by. Although the Battle Saint King is very strong, he should leave immediately for his own good."
"Heh, the greatest butcher, the Primordial Demon Royal Clan, hasn't been dealt with yet. Given the Battle Saint King's vengeful nature, how could he let them off so easily?"
...
The Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was in an uproar. Countless people discussed the Battle Saint King's actions. Some believed his actions were heinous, not sparing even the infants of these royal clans, let alone their experts.
Others believed the Battle Saint King was merely repaying vengeance in kind. Moreover, among them, clans like the Bloodsucking Royal Clan and the Night Moon Royal Clan were blood clans. Even their weakest infants, women, and children fed on the blood of other living beings, carrying sinful blood in their veins, and thus deserved execution.
"The Battle Saint King disregards the will of others, arbitrarily annihilates royal clans, involves many innocents, commits heinous crimes, and deserves execution!"
An imperial clan spoke out, declaring the Battle Saint King's actions as major crimes deserving of execution!
When imperial clans and Immortal Clans spoke, no one in the world dared to refute them.
Moreover, this was merely an excuse, a pretext for the imperial clans and Immortal Clans to take action against the Battle Saint King.
At the same time, many experts from imperial clans and Immortal Clans set out to hunt down the Battle Saint King.
Whoosh—
In the Southern Xu Ancient Kingdom of the Eighth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, at Zhao Family Manor, a location of one of the human sects, over a hundred thousand humans had gathered.
Ye Chen opened a passage to the Kongchu Heaven and Earth, allowing all the humans to quickly enter the Inner World.
Thus, under his actions, one human tribe, sect, kingdom, and other small groups after another were gathered into his Inner World and settled.
However, the experts from the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans also arrived very quickly.
Boom—
On this day, a world-shaking great battle erupted in the Northern Pole Divine Province of the Eighth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, involving multiple Divine Kings. It was witnessed by people from a million li away.
