Ye Chen was furious. He could no longer care about the possibility of his identity being exposed. His black robe fluttered as he took a step forward, arriving directly in front of Luo Jun.
"What a fellow. I was just thinking about how to deal with you, and you actually come forward seeking death on your own. That's rare, but you can still go and die."
Luo Jun sneered viciously, even wielding the Luo Heaven Divine Wheel as he struck out. Layer upon layer of divine radiance bloomed, Dao marks formed in patches as they blasted over. The entire Meritorious Service Hall trembled violently.
Under this strike, even an expert at the Divine Transformation Realm would be blasted into dust, ceasing to exist.
But unfortunately, this was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. He slapped out with his palm, like an indestructible heavenly stele. Between his fingers and palm, patches of Dao marks flowed and intertwined, directly and forcefully clashing against the Luo Heaven Treasure Wheel.
"Seeking death! You actually dare to clash head-on with my father's Luo Heaven Treasure Wheel," Luo Jun sneered.
Boom—
After a loud explosion, Ye Chen, who was expected to be smashed to pieces, remained completely unscathed. However, the Luo Heaven Treasure Wheel was sent flying. All the awakened law divine marks were completely erased, everything turning to nothingness.
This scene deeply shocked everyone present, making it hard to believe!
"Impossible!" Luo Jun's expression changed drastically. Although he knew Ye Chen might be a tough character, he had boundless confidence in the Luo Heaven Treasure Wheel entrusted to him by his father.
This was a super Dao weapon that almost became a Demi-Saint magical instrument. It had drunk the precious blood of many super-powerful experts, possessing a demonic nature. It could almost be called the number one Dao weapon below the Demi-Saint level. He didn't believe anyone below the Demi-Saint level could withstand the Luo Heaven Treasure Wheel.
But dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. He had encountered a tough character, and not just an ordinary one.
"Escape!"
This was Luo Jun's first thought. He immediately fled, not even bothering to retrieve the Luo Heaven Treasure Wheel. As long as he returned to his father's camp now, everything would be safe.
"Do you think you can escape?"
A faint voice sounded by his ear. Then, while fleeing, he suddenly discovered with horror that the black-robed figure had appeared right in front of him.
Swish—
Ye Chen stepped forward, directly grabbing his neck and restraining his body, lifting him up like a chick. "I said, today I will definitely kill you."
"No, you can't kill me. My father is Commander Luo Tianxiong of the Third Army. If you kill me, my father will definitely kill you."
Even at this moment, Luo Jun couldn't help but threaten Ye Chen, bringing out his powerful backer of a father.
Although his face was concealed, the cold light in his eyes was clearly projected. He said coldly, "What big talk. Do you really think your father is omnipotent? Unfortunately, that doesn't work in front of me."
Pfft—
A flash of blood light appeared. Ye Chen pointed with his finger, and one of Luo Jun's legs directly exploded. Flesh mixed with white bone splattered everywhere. Luo Jun couldn't help but scream in pain, the sound extremely shrill.
Ye Chen didn't kill Luo Jun immediately. Instead, he harmed him bit by bit, making him feel the fear of death.
Then, with another point of his finger, Luo Jun's arm and other leg also exploded, leaving a bloody mess that was shockingly eye-catching, making people's hearts race. Luo Jun screamed even more painfully, the sound incomparably shrill.
This scene made many people feel extremely relieved. Because Luo Jun was too infuriating, and getting this outcome made many people say he deserved it, that his punishment fit his crime.
"Halt! This is the Meritorious Service Hall. No one is allowed to take action here."
Suddenly, a voice boomed, ordering Ye Chen to stop. Only then did they see an elder walking out in the great hall. His brow contained immense authority, he wore a long robe, and his aura was vast and powerful. An invisible, mighty pressure spread out, making people tremble.
He was the Seventh Elder of the Meritorious Service Hall, Li Wushan. He was privately on good terms with Luo Tianxiong and held great power.
Originally, when Luo Jun took action in the Meritorious Service Hall, he had turned a blind eye, pretending not to see. But now, seeing Luo Jun encounter a tough character who was about to kill him, he had no choice but to step forward.
"I don't care who you are. Today, daring to take action in the Meritorious Service Hall is a provocation against the hall's authority. Immediately submit without a fight, obediently admit your guilt, and you may receive lenient treatment."
"What about him?" Ye Chen pointed at Luo Jun. "He also took action just now. So many people saw it. He even blew up the Meritorious Service Hall's gate."
The Seventh Elder's expression turned icy. He said coldly, "What blown-up gate? This old man never saw Luo Jun take action. Throughout the entire process, I only saw you alone acting violently."
These words made many people seethe with anger but dare not speak out. Sure enough, this Seventh Elder was privately colluding with Luo Tianxiong.
Ye Chen gave a cold laugh. "What a fine Meritorious Service Hall Elder you are, truly impressive. When he attacked me earlier, I didn't see you appear. Now that I've suppressed him and am about to kill him, you show up. And you only recognize my crime, not his. I must say, Elder, you are utterly unqualified?"
The Seventh Elder's expression turned cold. "Who do you think you are? Is it up to you to decide whether this old man is biased or not? Moreover, Luo Jun came here to exchange meritorious service points. He has over ten thousand points. Do you have any?"
"Over ten thousand points?"
Ye Chen laughed, but the laughter was icy. He raised his hand and threw his own meritorious service token onto the divine platform. After testing, the meritorious service token immediately bloomed with boundless divine radiance, illuminating every corner of the Meritorious Service Hall.
Among it, a dazzling column of divine light shot forth, striking the light screen on the dome of the hall, rumbling and attracting everyone's attention.
"This is!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of meritorious service achievement could cause such a divine light column to appear, almost shattering the test light screen?
The Seventh Elder's expression changed repeatedly. He knew he might have encountered an extremely terrifying figure.
At the same time, the black robe fell away, revealing a young, heroic, and tall figure before everyone's eyes. Black hair cascaded down, sword-like brows and starry eyes, his posture upright and straight.
That handsome yet cold and stern youthful face appeared. His deep eyes were like bottomless pits, as if terrifying scenes of stars being destroyed were manifesting within. This immediately caused many people to exclaim—
"The Great Demon King, Yue!"
No one knew who said it, but no one cared. Because at this moment, the entire hall was shocked. Everyone's gaze was fixed on that tall, upright young figure.
Great Demon King, Yue!
The first Young True King figure of the new generation in the true sense. On the Domain War battlefield, he annihilated the Heavenly Dragon Army, swept through the Four Young Kings, wiped out the armies of the four domains, and also the Forbidden Army of the Scarlet God Valley, the Scarlet God Army.
Five Saints, wielding Saint Lord-level Dao weapons, came to assassinate him, but all were slaughtered, their Saint Lord-level Dao weapons seized. Moreover, under the escort of the Fourth Great Bandit Wang Ming, he left the Domain War battlefield unscathed and returned to his camp.
All these events had shrouded him in a layer of mysterious and dense legendary color.
Ye Chen stood there, black hair cascading, like a divine peak standing there. His physique was robust and tall, masculine and powerful. Immortal radiance flowed from his body, his head held high as if wanting to transcend above the vast multitude of living beings. He possessed a supreme divine bearing, like an Immortal King.
Within his body, blood energy rumbled like thunder, as if a Supreme Great Emperor lay dormant within. His bloodline power was terrifyingly boundless, deafening, making people tremble.
He merely stood there, yet he captured the gaze of everyone. Countless eyes fell upon him. At this moment, he was so outstanding and eye-catching.
It could be said that no one knew of his arrival, or no one would have thought he would be so low-key, restraining his aura, wearing a black robe to exchange meritorious service points, and even quietly queuing for half an hour.
For many soldiers, Ye Chen was definitely a respectable figure—without abusing power, and unafraid of power.
"Great Demon King Yue, it's actually him?"
The Seventh Elder's expression changed as well. He never expected the black-robed figure to be the famous Great Demon King. This was a taboo figure, an Immortal True King of the new generation, sweeping through the Four Kings with no match, even causing the armies of the five domains to be completely annihilated, with five Saints perishing. His fame was resounding.
Now, the Seventh Elder even felt like killing Luo Jun. If he had known earlier that the black-robed figure was Ye Chen, he would never have allowed Luo Jun to act recklessly.
Luo Jun also felt like killing himself. He never expected that the person he randomly provoked would actually be the famous Great Demon King Yue.
On the divine platform, the meritorious service token bloomed with dazzling divine radiance. On the light screen, a terrifying numerical value appeared—
9,567,629!
This was the meritorious service value Ye Chen obtained from entering the Domain War battlefield this time. It was simply an astronomical figure, actually reaching over nine million, unprecedented. Even many Saints had never possessed such a huge meritorious service value.
Just Ye Chen alone had slain five Saints. One Saint was equivalent to one million meritorious service points.
The Heavenly Dragon Army belonged to the Heaven-grade army. Naturally, each person's meritorious service value couldn't be calculated according to ordinary soldiers. The armies of the four domains were at least Earth-grade armies. The Scarlet God Army was almost beyond the Heaven-grade army.
There was also the battle at Bloodstained Mountain Range, being besieged by numerous powerful experts, and so on. Adding up all the meritorious service values resulted in this terrifying figure of over nine million.
Looking at this shockingly terrifying astronomical number, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. With such a huge meritorious service value, he probably qualified to exchange for even the most important treasures in the Heaven-grade area.
The terrifying column of light shot through the Meritorious Service Hall, soared into the Nine Heavens, its radiance blooming, illuminating heaven and earth, startling the entire Qingyang Domain camp and attracting the attention of countless people.
"That's... the Meritorious Service Hall!"
Even the high-ranking officials on the highest commander's Floating Divine Islands were startled. When they gazed at that thick light column, their expressions changed drastically.
"Who on earth obtained such a high meritorious service value? At least one million meritorious service points are needed to condense into a divine light column shooting into the sky. And this divine light column is clearly many times thicker. It's not just a mere one million. It's at least seven or eight million meritorious service points or more!"
"Go quickly and see who it is!"
On the Floating Divine Islands, powerful figures swiftly rushed toward the Meritorious Service Hall. Such a strong meritorious service value condensing into a light column—even looking across the entire history of the Domain War—could absolutely be counted on one hand.
Basically, every person possessing such terrifying meritorious service value was a Saint Lord-level existence, the highest commander figures.
Could it be that a Saint Lord-level existence also went to claim meritorious service points and select treasures?
