The Heavenly Dragon Army routed the seven Mystic-grade armies, sending the seven young Marquis Lords fleeing in disarray. Qinghua Marquis, riding his fierce white tiger beast, charged headlong in his escape, not bothering to dodge, and arrived before Ye Chen with lightning speed.
Roar—
The white tiger beast let out a roar, its massive tiger claw sweeping through with a howling gale, aiming to swat away Ye Chen who was blocking the main road. The Qinghua Marquis on its back didn't even spare Ye Chen a glance, treating him like a blade of grass by the roadside.
"What is this kid doing? Everyone else is fleeing, yet he alone wants to charge forward. Is he really that eager to die?"
Some high-ranking figures on the floating divine island shook their heads, while others sneered coldly. Ye Chen's earlier appearance without bowing to them had left them feeling uncomfortable, and now they were happy to see him meet his end.
Only Wang Shan snorted coldly, sweeping a chilly gaze over them, which immediately made them fall silent, trembling with fear. Though puzzled, they dared not speak further.
On the Domain War battlefield, Ye Chen's eyes turned cold, his black hair whipping wildly. With a single slap, the entire earth trembled violently. The white tiger beast exploded with a thunderous boom, its flesh, blood, and bones all turning into a cloud of flying ash.
Qinghua Marquis, who had been on the tiger beast, was startled and swiftly dodged sideways, avoiding the attack. However, his expression instantly turned icy as he glared coldly at Ye Chen. "You dare kill my mount?"
Ye Chen swept a casual glance over him. "Too much nonsense. Either make your move, or get lost."
Arrogant!
Qinghua Marquis's handsome face darkened. He snorted coldly. "I don't care who you are. You're the first to dare treat me like this. Though I am no match for the Heavenly Dragon Army, before I leave, I'll teach you a lesson you deserve, so you understand the meaning of respect and hierarchy."
With a light shout, he raised his hand, forming seals and casting a technique. Transforming into a sword finger, thousands upon thousands of dazzling sword beams slashed down, completely dispersing the clouds in the sky above the battlefield.
This move was extremely eye-catching on the Domain War battlefield. The thousands of sword beams shone brilliantly, illuminating an area of dozens to hundreds of li, drawing the attention of many.
"Respect and hierarchy? Ridiculous. A person like you is simply not worth a single blow!"
Ye Chen's expression remained as indifferent as ever. Raising his hand, he flicked out the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Finger. A circle of destruction expanded like lightning, and the thousands of sword beams vanished into thin air in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
This scene stunned Qinghua Marquis. How could this youth be so powerful? Gritting his teeth, he unleashed another powerful divine technique, quickly forming seals to materialize a radiant Dao Pagoda. It instantly expanded to hundreds of zhang in height and descended from the sky, completely enveloping Ye Chen within.
This was a powerful sealing divine technique—using the pagoda to suppress and seal. Within the same realm, it was nearly impossible to break. It was one of Qinghua Marquis's ultimate moves. Even if Ye Chen was strong enough, Qinghua Marquis didn't believe he could break through the Dao Pagoda in a short time.
"Hmph, this time I'll suppress you inside and let the Heavenly Dragon Army hunt you down and kill you," Qinghua Marquis snorted. But the next moment, his face changed drastically because the Great Dao Pagoda was directly blasted apart. Fragments scattered everywhere like meteors flying in all directions.
"Is this all the skill you have?"
A cold voice rang out. Ye Chen strode forward, his black hair flowing loosely, divine radiance swirling around him. He seemed like a deity stepping out of the mortal world. With a single step, he arrived before Qinghua Marquis like lightning.
Boom—
His palm and fingers shimmered with golden light, like a golden, immortal monument striking out. Before Qinghua Marquis could react, he was sent flying. His skin split open, his armor shattered, countless bones in his body fractured, and blood spurted out—a truly miserable sight.
A Marquis Lord, not worth a single blow!
Not far away, other young Marquis prodigies were also fleeing. When they saw this scene, they were deeply shocked and horrified.
They knew exactly what kind of person Qinghua Marquis was—a young Marquis Lord of a region, second only to Kings. At a young age, he had reached the peak of the Demigod realm. His cultivation was powerful, and he mastered many formidable secret techniques and divine arts. He could even challenge experts of the Divine Transformation Realm across realms, standing proudly above his peers.
Yet now, he was so utterly weak. With just one strike, the other party shattered the Great Dao Pagoda and with a single slap, sent him into a severely injured state.
A dignified Qinghua Marquis was so not worth a single blow. Just who was this youth, to be terrifying to such an extent? Could he be a King?
Once this possibility crossed their minds, everyone trembled. But they had never seen this person before. The Kings of Qingyang Domain were definitely not him. So which King was he?
On the distant floating divine island, the group of high-ranking figures slightly changed their expressions upon seeing this. They sighed softly, "No wonder he's so arrogant. He's actually a Young King, with limitless potential—a peerless genius aspiring for the path of the Human Sovereign. But which King is he?"
They all looked toward Wang Shan, guessing in their hearts: Could he be a King disciple taken in by the Fourth Great Bandit, Wang Ming?
Wang Ming didn't speak, but his gaze was fixed intently on Ye Chen. Combined with the three hundred Primordial War Cavalry on their side, it made them suspect that this was likely close to the truth.
After slapping Qinghua Marquis away, Ye Chen left without looking back, paying him no mind—as if he were just an insignificant weed by the roadside. This made Qinghua Marquis's expression quite ugly, but when he looked at Ye Chen's retreating figure, he dared not hold any resentment. Instead, he felt more awe and fear.
With such strength, he was definitely an invincible Young King. How could Qinghua Marquis dare to oppose him? That would be pure suicide.
Ye Chen strode forward, heading directly toward one of the ten-thousand-strong Heavenly Dragon Army units that was pursuing the fleeing remnants. This left countless people dumbfounded. Did this youth intend to challenge the entire Heavenly Dragon Army alone?
That was one of the famously elite armies, sweeping through the Domain War battlefield with unmatched prowess, rarely meeting a worthy opponent. It could even put up a fight against Saints. Was this youth insane?
Even a King could not withstand them.
Wang Shan's expression turned slightly grave. The divine power of the Great Dao within him surged, ready to erupt. He even sent a voice transmission to the Primordial War Cavalry, saying solemnly, "All of you, be prepared. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him. Understood?"
"Understood!"
The Primordial War Cavalry had long been ready. Not to mention that Ye Chen's terrifying physical cultivation had won the admiration of Tianmen, just his status as someone entrusted by their master, Wang Ming, was enough for them to protect him at all costs, even if it meant death. How could they allow anything to happen to him?
Once the order was given, they would not hesitate to attack, slaughtering all who stood in their way—slaying gods when encountering gods, slaughtering buddhas when encountering buddhas.
