"That's not right. Although that Gu Taixu wielded a God King War Weapon, he didn't use it when slaughtering the other Saint Realm Heaven's Prides. It's highly likely he is also a Supreme Heaven's Pride, perhaps even a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride."
Through the time reversal, many had discerned some clues.
Yet, this still could not conceal the rage of the various imperial clans and royal clans towards Gu Taixu.
"Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan! What a fine Gu Taixu from the Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan!"
The experts of the five imperial clans roared, their voices shaking millions of miles, terrifying and boundless, causing the winds and clouds to change color. Many trial-takers deep within the Burial Immortal Realm were startled, not understanding the reason.
"Today, no matter what, we must slay this Gu Taixu. Even if he is some peerless Heaven's Pride, it won't save him. He must die!"
This was the declaration of the five alien imperial clans, a fight to the death.
The deaths of the five Emperor Sons and Daughters had thoroughly enraged them, causing terrifying phenomena to manifest.
Other imperial clans and royal clans also showed anger on their faces. Among the slaughtered Saint Realm Heaven's Prides were not a few peerless Heaven's Prides from various major powers, all key figures being nurtured to become future peerless experts. To have them massacred now was intolerable.
However, the Ancient Monarchs blocked their deeper entry, saying, "Although this Gu Taixu killed all the Saint Realm Heaven's Prides and even killed five Emperor Sons and Daughters, a crime deserving ten thousand deaths, this is the Hunting Competition. All matters of accountability must be resolved after the competition concludes."
Clearly, even in their eyes, this Gu Taixu who could kill Emperor Sons and Daughters, though partly due to the God King-level War Weapon, was undoubtedly an unparalleled Heaven's Pride rarely seen in the world, possibly even a Great Perfection Supreme Heaven's Pride, not inferior to Emperor Sons and Daughters.
But the status of Emperor Sons and Daughters was far too important.
If they were severely injured and on the brink of death, they wouldn't blame anyone, only saying the Emperor Sons and Daughters were useless.
Even the alien higher-ups would praise this peerless Heaven's Pride Gu Taixu of the Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan.
It was just a pity that this Gu Taixu had gone too far, slaying Emperor Sons and Daughters—the offspring of ancient Great Emperors. How could ordinary Heaven's Prides compare? No matter how outstanding, he could only perish.
Upon learning the cause and effect, Gu Xun nearly collapsed on the spot, because he was the one who personally brought Gu Taixu here. If Gu Taixu were found guilty, he too would be implicated, with his nine clans exterminated. There was no escape.
"No! Our Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan has finally produced such a peerless Heaven's Pride, capable of killing Emperor Sons and Daughters at the same realm. He must be a rare cultivation genius, perhaps comparable to Emperor Sons and Daughters. He cannot be harmed. We must request the intervention of the clan's ancestors."
To save his own life and for the sake of the Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan, Gu Xun hurriedly sent a message to the ancient existences within the clan.
Now, they could only rely on them.
At the same time, a streak of light was rushing at astonishing speed towards the depths of the Burial Immortal Realm. That was Ye Chen, who naturally wouldn't foolishly stay in place.
Not long after, he arrived at the Heavenly King Realm battlefield, where he also encountered three Emperor Sons and Daughters at the Heavenly King Realm. Ye Chen directly appeared, revealing the aura of a First Heaven Heavenly King.
"Hmm? Not long ago, you were at the peak of the Saint Realm, but now you've become a Heavenly King. Have you succeeded in reincarnation, merging two lifetimes? I never expected to witness such a scene in the Burial Immortal Realm," one Emperor Son exclaimed in surprise. Clearly, this was somewhat beyond his expectations.
With such strength, he indeed had the qualification to enter the Heavenly King Realm hunting grounds.
However, they were unaware that this so-called Gu Taixu before them had already slaughtered all the Heaven's Prides in the Saint Realm. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be so calm.
"I, Gu Taixu of the Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan, challenge you!"
Ye Chen held the Tungsten Iron Long Spear, pointing it from afar at that alien Emperor Son.
In the Heavenly King Realm hunting battlefield, all the Heaven's Prides looked at Ye Chen as if he were a fool.
Challenge an Emperor Son?
Wasn't that seeking death?
"Challenge me? You're merely at the First Heaven, while I am at the Fifth Heaven. A single finger is enough to crush you," the alien Emperor Son sneered. He was the Third Emperor Son of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan, and one of his elder brothers had been slain by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's arrival now clearly aimed to wipe them all out, completely exterminating all the Emperor Sons and Daughters of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan.
"Very well. Since you dare to challenge me, I shall grant you death." The Third Emperor Son of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan made his move, extending a single finger. A terrifying demonic light appeared, evolving into a small world that rushed towards Ye Chen with surging heaven and earth power.
Such a method was enough to sweep through the Heavenly King Realm.
Ye Chen's figure flickered, bizarrely evading the Third Emperor Son's finger-transformed world attack, closing in on him instead.
"What?" The Third Emperor Son of the Dark Heaven Imperial Clan was greatly shocked, finding it hard to believe that a mere First Heaven Heavenly King could evade his attack. It was simply unimaginable.
"Die!"
Ye Chen wielded the Tungsten Iron Long Spear. The Third Emperor Son reached out to block, only to find the spear directly piercing through his palm, which was more durable than a Heavenly King Dao Weapon, and plunging into his throat.
Boom—
A terrifying force erupted, tearing the Third Emperor Son apart. A small soul figure shot into the sky, exclaiming in horror, "A God King War Weapon! No wonder you were so confident!"
Everyone else changed expressions. Possessing a God King War Weapon, even a First Heaven Heavenly King could sweep through and suppress all in the Heavenly King Realm. Even if it couldn't be fully revived, it was equivalent to a wisp of divine power from an ancient God King. Any Heavenly King facing it would be crushed to dust.
"Die!"
Ye Chen's expression was icy. The Tungsten Iron War Spear struck again, shattering this Third Emperor Son's small soul figure, leaving him no chance to dodge.
After three such strikes, the Third Emperor Son perished!
This scene deeply shocked everyone.
Simultaneously, Ye Chen revived the Tungsten Iron Long Spear. God King-level power imprisoned the heaven and earth, causing everyone's expressions to change. They couldn't even tear through space to escape.
"Today, to become the number one in the Hunting Competition, you all must die!"
Ye Chen said coldly, still not revealing his true strength, his true identity, or his true purpose, carrying out a one-sided massacre.
The result was obvious. No one survived. Everything in the Heavenly King-level hunting battlefield was slaughtered once more, again startling the edge of the Burial Immortal Realm and provoking roars from even more imperial clans and royal clans.
"Ancient Elephant Emperor Clan, we demand an explanation from you!"
Several imperial clans spoke grimly, and some attempted to summon their respective clans' Emperor Sons and Daughters back. Because Gu Taixu, wielding a God King War Weapon, posed a certain threat even to Great Powers.
However, regarding the Emperor Sons and Daughters at the Great Power Realm, they weren't as worried.
Emperor Sons and Daughters were invincible within the same realm. Moreover, as Great Power-level existences, how could they not possess God King-level secret treasures? They even had Emperor Treasures, utterly fearless.
Furthermore, that Gu Taixu was merely a Heavenly King Realm existence, a First Heaven Heavenly King. Forget a God King War Weapon; even if given a Quasi-Monarch War Weapon, it would be difficult to pose a threat.
Sure enough, after the messages were sent, the various Emperor Sons and Daughters in the Great Power Realm were disdainful. On the contrary, they looked forward to the arrival of that Gu Taixu who dared to slaughter all the Emperor Sons and Daughters in the Saint and Heavenly King Realms.
Daring to act like this, even killing Emperor Sons and Daughters—wasn't that purely seeking death?
Even a rare, unparalleled genius was useless. Could any genius compare to an ancient Great Emperor?
Could they withstand the wrath of an ancient Great Emperor?
As expected, Ye Chen appeared in the Great Power Realm hunting grounds, carrying out a massacre. He quickly slew dozens of alien Heaven's Prides, including those from imperial clans and royal clans. The Tungsten Iron Long Spear was stained with blood, exceptionally eerie and dazzling.
PS: There's an event coming up soon, lasting a month. I'm wondering if I can hold out a bit longer during that event, maintaining five updates a day?
