Rumble—
The entire world trembled as a terrifying army rapidly emerged, numbering in the thousands upon thousands. There were fearsome primordial beasts and massive warships soaring through the clouds and mist, finally appearing in this expanse of heaven and earth. A murderous aura surged forth, causing everyone present to feel a chill.
Giant war banners stood erect amidst the clouds and mist, bearing two ancient characters that could be recognized as "Xueyuan."
Without a doubt, this was the army of the Xueyuan Domain. Moreover, its scale was so grand that it was at least a terrifying legion of Earth-grade or higher, with thousands of troops. Their purpose for coming was self-evident—most likely to provide reinforcements for the king of their domain.
Clearly, someone had secretly notified them of the situation, prompting the arrival of this great domain's army.
The Xueyuan army, thousands strong, now stood in solemn formation. Primordial beasts growled lowly, and two top-tier experts at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm led the ranks, making the lineup exceptionally powerful.
Almost simultaneously, from another direction, another fearsome army arrived swiftly, their horses galloping across the sky. Their formation was no less imposing than the Xueyuan army. The information on their war banners proved this force to be the army of the Feilong Domain, coming to reinforce the Flame Dragon King.
Following them, several more armies arrived one after another, their momentum immense. All came from various great domains to reinforce their respective kings. Evidently, they had learned of the perilous situations their kings were in and had rushed to provide aid.
A total of four terrifying armies had arrived, their troops at the city gates. Each army was led by at least two commanders at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, completely surrounding the area, leaving not a single gap.
Many of the young powerhouses felt their hearts tremble. With so many armies arriving to reinforce the kings of their respective domains, even an Immortal True King probably couldn't withstand them.
However, when the armies of the four domains saw their four kings restrained in the void—arms spread wide like prisoners, chests split open to reveal their kingly hearts—everyone couldn't help but narrow their eyes in disbelief and shock.
How could the four mighty kings be restrained, unable to move? What was going on?
They were unaware that all of this was Ye Chen's doing, believing instead that some powerful senior expert had intervened. After all, such a profound void technique was extraordinary, likely only possible for a supreme powerhouse at the level of a Demi-Saint or higher. Their hearts grew heavy.
One of the commanders immediately cupped his fists and spoke solemnly to the surrounding void: "Senior, this is a duel among the younger generation. For the older generation to intervene is somewhat excessive, isn't it?"
The young powerhouses were taken aback, immediately understanding the situation, but they didn't know how to speak up and clarify.
The four kings, however, were restrained and unable to speak, so they could only sigh silently.
When the commanders of the four domain armies received no response for a long time, their hearts sank further. "Senior, the four kings are all young juniors. For you to act like this, bullying the weak with your strength, is rather over the line."
Ye Chen swept a cold glance over them, saying nothing, but his actions didn't stop. With a swipe of his hand, he split open Crown Prince Haotian's kingly heart. A strand of heart's blood flew out, carrying with it a large amount of sparkling divine blood, making everyone's hearts skip a beat. The commander of the Tianhe Domain army charged forward, shouting, "Kid, you're seeking death!"
He swung his war sword, cleaving down at Ye Chen. All the young powerhouses watched intently. A king could match or even slay a powerhouse who reigned supreme in the Divine Transformation Realm, but they didn't know if an Immortal True King could cross two more realms to match a super Divine Transformation expert, who was many times more terrifying.
They saw Ye Chen's expression remain unchanged as he directly swung his divine fists. Brilliant Dao marks and divine radiance flowed between his fingers and collided with the war sword, causing it to explode on impact and shatter into several pieces, stunning everyone.
It was one thing to withstand a super Divine Transformation expert head-on, but to shatter his war sword as well? That was simply too outrageously powerful.
The commander of the Tianhe Domain changed color. This seemingly young youth was definitely a peerless figure; otherwise, he wouldn't be so terrifying.
At the same time, the kingly blood was extracted. Ye Chen conjured a crimson-gold divine flame, refining it into a fist-sized sphere that hovered in his hand. Kingly Dao principles flowed within it—this was the second batch of kingly blood.
Just like with the Flame Dragon King, after extracting the kingly blood, Crown Prince Haotian's aura became listless.
"Crown Prince!" the commander exclaimed, then swept a cold gaze toward Ye Chen, shouting, "I don't care who you are. If you dare harm the crown prince of our domain, you will die today."
Behind him, the thousands of troops roared, rumbling as they prepared to charge forward. The armies of the other three domains, having witnessed the miserable state of their four kings, were also shocked and furious.
Swish, swish, swish, swish—
Four divine swords flew out from between Ye Chen's fingers, each hovering above the heads of the four kings, their edges gleaming coldly. Ye Chen said icily, "Whoever dares to charge forward, I will kill them."
Forceful!
All the young powerhouses felt their hearts tremble. As expected of the Great Demon King Yue, he was truly domineering enough. Even at this point, facing the armies of four domains, he showed no fear and remained calm. Such an attitude commanded respect.
The armies of the four domains were filled with rage. Someone even shouted, "You relied on a senior expert to capture the kings of each domain. What kind of hero is that? If you have the guts, release the kings and fight fair and square!"
"Relied on a senior expert?" Ye Chen suddenly laughed. The other young Talents remained silent, saying nothing. The armies of the four domains felt that the atmosphere was somewhat off.
Ye Chen released the facial restrictions on the four kings and said coldly, "Just ask the kings of each domain. Ask them if I relied on a senior expert to restrain them."
The four kings did not speak, each lowering their proud heads without saying a word.
This scene left everyone present dumbfounded. What in the world was going on? Could it be that this mysterious young king had done it all by himself? How was that possible?
"It wasn't some so-called senior who acted. I restrained them," Ye Chen said indifferently.
The armies of the four domains were shocked, finding it hard to believe.
Puff, puff—
During this time, Ye Chen extracted and refined two more spheres of kingly blood. Each sphere was crystalline and sparkling, overflowing with divine radiance, with Dao principles emerging and intertwining—truly extraordinary.
Finally, he had obtained four spheres of kingly blood, taking a big step toward his goal. Only four more spheres remained.
The armies of the Modong Domain and Xueyuan Domain were furious, but upon seeing the swords of Damocles hovering above their heads, they dared not act recklessly. They could only glare angrily at Ye Chen.
Subsequently, Ye Chen's actions didn't stop. He pointed consecutively at their brows, causing the four kings to exclaim in alarm, "Yue, what do you want to do?"
"As kings, you should all possess king's divine crowns. I need those as well. Hand them over."
Ye Chen spoke, his methods unceasing. He shot out four faint rays of light that vanished into their brows. Immediately, Primordial Spirit light blossomed, glowing with vitality. From the crown of each of their heads shot up a brilliant pillar of divine radiance, within which floated an incomparably majestic crown, exuding boundless majesty that made everyone almost kneel in submission.
The king's divine crown!
