Nangong Xue pulled Ning'er over, glaring at Ye Chen. "You can be arrogant and conceited all you want, but don't bring disaster upon Ning'er. She's still young."
She turned to Ning'er. "Ning'er, stay away from them. They'll bring you misfortune sooner or later."
Gu Xuan sneered repeatedly. "If you're so powerful, why don't you immediately strike and kill an Ancient Divine King right now to prove it?"
The Starry Sky Quasi-Monarch didn't even glance at Gu Xuan, his gaze fixed on Ning'er.
He only listened to Ning'er's commands, not Gu Xuan's.
Besides, why bother with the words of an ant?
Ning'er hesitated, looking at Ye Chen. She really wanted to stay with her little brother, but Senior Sister Nangong Xue was holding her tightly, leaving her helpless. She could only give Ye Chen an apologetic look.
Ye Chen smiled at her and sent a mental message to the Starry Sky Quasi-Monarch: Protect Ning'er.
Ning'er was the most pleasant person in the Doumen World. He didn't mind bestowing upon her an honor beyond the reach of ordinary people during his stay in the Doumen World.
Boom—
The Doumen World trembled violently. At that moment, a second Ancient Divine King arrived.
Another wave of commotion erupted.
Subsequently, other Ancient Divine Kings emerged one after another, causing tremors throughout the entire Doumen World.
"The Blood Blade Organization, the Blood Prison Divine King graces us with his presence!"
A Dao proclamation echoed. A blood-red grand avenue stretched across the sky. The Blood Prison Divine King appeared majestic and awe-inspiring, followed by over ten Great Powers, making the world look up in reverence, though many also paled in fear.
For the Blood Blade Organization was an assassin guild, and the Blood Prison Divine King was an Ancient Divine King who had proven his Dao through slaughter, extremely powerful. His years of achieving the Dao were even longer than those of the Doumen Divine King and the Hun Mountain Divine King.
The Doumen Divine King naturally came out to welcome him.
Inside the Dou Heaven Hall, Ye Chen initially paid little attention to the Blood Prison Divine King's arrival. However, he sensed a young man dressed in pristine white robes following the Blood Prison Divine King. He was like an immortal descended to the mortal world, exceptionally transcendent, and actually gave Ye Chen a faint sense of threat.
"Not a Divine King, not even a Quasi-Monarch... Could he be a Primordial Monarch?"
He murmured inwardly. Even a Heaven-Defying Quasi-Monarch couldn't give him the slightest sense of threat, yet this mysterious young man did. He couldn't help but pay some attention.
"But I've never seen this person before. He's likely a Primordial Monarch from the Holy Emperor Domain faction," Ye Chen added another assessment.
As if sensing Ye Chen's gaze, Sheng Xu, behind the Blood Prison Divine King, glanced curiously toward the Dou Heaven Hall but felt nothing, finding it somewhat strange.
"Lord Sheng Xu, what is it?"
The Blood Prison Divine King openly chatted and laughed with the Doumen Divine King and the Hun Mountain Divine King, while secretly sending a respectful, almost servile, mental message to Sheng Xu.
Sheng Xu said, "This Peach Banquet is not simple. It's very likely that someone with strength comparable to mine will appear."
The Blood Prison Divine King's heart surged with shock and awe.
Having witnessed Sheng Xu's power, he believed that even the Tong Gu Divine King from back in the day might not be comparable. Now, there was someone of similar strength.
It made him realize even more how vast the world was, far beyond his imagination.
At that moment, the Black Dragon Ancient Lord, upon seeing the white-robed young man, immediately changed his expression. "Your Highness Sheng Xu!"
He belonged to the Holy Emperor Domain faction. Although he had never truly met Sheng Xu, there had always been circulating portraits of Sheng Xu, so even the Black Dragon Ancient Lord knew Sheng Xu's appearance.
Besides, Sheng Xu hadn't concealed his true face at all.
Inside the Dou Heaven Hall, faint exclamations of surprise arose one after another.
Sheng Xu was the third son of the Strongest Emperor Saint. For anyone in the Holy Emperor Domain faction, his name was known to all.
Originally, their arrival was merely to investigate whether the Weiyang Great World held a Supreme inheritance. But now that Sheng Xu had also come, it seemed to subtly confirm their suspicions.
Even an important figure like Sheng Xu personally descending upon this Weiyang Great World further proved that the Supreme inheritance most likely existed within the Weiyang Great World.
Subsequently, Ancient Divine Kings emerged one after another. Each appearance caused a massive commotion.
The world also gradually saw those Ancient Divine Kings who had vanished into the long river of time, suspected to have passed away.
Seeing these Ancient Divine Kings again, almost everyone present was excited.
Especially some Great Powers, who had received guidance from certain Ancient Divine Kings in the past, ultimately enabling them to become Great Powers and establish immortal forces.
By evening, a total of twelve had appeared.
Such a number was quite astonishing.
No one had expected that the Weiyang Great World still harbored twelve living, peerless Ancient Divine Kings.
These were beings usually only seen in legends or ancient texts.
Many had believed the number of Ancient Divine Kings in the Weiyang Great World could be counted on one hand, perhaps not exceeding five in the entire vast world. They never imagined there were actually twelve.
It could be said that everyone who came today felt the honor of a lifetime was here, having paid respects to nearly all the Ancient Divine Kings of the Weiyang Great World.
Upon returning, they could tell those around them about this glorious feat that even many Heavenly Kings had never accomplished!
Just as the twelve Ancient Divine Kings gathered in the Dou Heaven Hall, with everyone's attention focused, no one noticed a slovenly, disheveled old man suddenly appearing in the Doumen World. Even the guards at the ancient gate hadn't detected him.
This beggar-like old man frowned as he glanced toward the direction of the Dou Heaven Hall, revealing a hint of surprise. "I never thought a mere Peach Banquet would attract so many people from other worlds, and even Quasi-Monarchs and Primordial Monarchs. Quite rare."
"This old man hasn't seen so many supreme experts above the Divine King realm in who knows how many years. The last time was probably when I followed the Great Emperor in battle back in the day."
His words carried thick sighs and nostalgia.
The next moment, his furrowed brows relaxed. He didn't even glance at the Dou Heaven Hall where Divine Kings and Great Powers from all sides gathered. Instead, he looked toward the Medicine God Valley on the other side of the Heavenly Continent and chuckled. "The Heaven-Concealing Peach, such a delicacy. I've waited 300,000 years for it to finally ripen."
Silently and without a trace, the beggar old man vanished.
...
Inside the Dou Heaven Hall, the Doumen Divine King and the group of Ancient Divine Kings who had come to participate in the Peach Banquet, surrounded like stars around the moon, arrived at the center of the Dou Heaven Hall.
Instantly, all eyes gathered at the center.
The area around Ye Chen suddenly became much emptier, as people from various immortal forces crowded over.
At that moment, Ye Chen's eyes opened, sweeping across the entire Dou Heaven Hall.
Because he sensed that within the entire Dou Heaven Hall, the number of auras surpassing the Divine King realm had increased compared to before.
As expected, experts from either the Flame Emperor Domain faction or the Holy Emperor Domain faction had all appeared within the Dou Heaven Hall, undoubtedly for the Supreme inheritance.
At that moment, Ye Chen sent a mental message to the Doumen Divine King: "Has the Tong Gu Divine King arrived?"
