The towering ancient Divine City isolated the outside world, sealing off a region of heaven and earth.
Within the Divine City.
A handsome youth with a pair of golden dragon horns on his head, clad in brocade robes, looked down coldly and menacingly at the blood-stained Zhenyu Imperial Son, Martial God, and the others.
At his feet lay several God Sons from the Zhenyu Imperial Son's side, all severely wounded, lying on the ground, barely breathing, their injuries clearly grave.
The handsome youth with dragon horns looked at the Zhenyu Imperial Son with full mockery and sneered, "Zhen Ming, be sensible and surrender obediently, become this Imperial Son's servant. I promise I won't kill a single one of you!"
The Zhenyu Imperial Son was stained with blood, his battle armor shattered, with some wounds so deep the bone was visible, a truly fearsome sight.
Yet, even so, the Zhenyu Imperial Son remained imposing and heroic, the blood on him adding to his unyielding pride. He looked coldly at the handsome dragon-horned youth and said, "Long Yuan, don't even think this Imperial Son will submit to you. If not for your despicable act of inviting several other Giants' offspring, one-on-one, this Imperial Son could suppress you."
Even in such a state, the Zhenyu Imperial Son's demeanor was still captivating.
This drew nods of admiration from many Heaven's Prides on the nine-hundredth floor of the Thousand Star Tower; the Zhenyu Imperial Son truly possessed extraordinary bearing.
Long Yuan scoffed, "Zhen Ming, you are indeed strong, this Imperial Son admits that killing you one-on-one is difficult. But since I have the help of several brothers here now, why should this Imperial Son risk dealing with you alone? One last chance: agree immediately, and none of them will die."
The Zhenyu Imperial Son stood proud and unyielding. "Even if this Imperial Son dies, I will send them away before fulfilling your wish!"
As he spoke, divine light erupted from his body, and he charged forth, killing intent directed at Long Yuan.
Faintly, his aura surged against the odds, actually becoming even more formidable than at the start.
But Long Yuan sneered, for he knew this was the Zhenyu Imperial Son employing a forbidden secret technique that could boost his power for a limited time, but at a great cost.
Boom—
At that moment, a figure stepped out before Long Yuan. The figure was short in stature but had thick, powerful limbs. He grabbed a giant hammer and smashed it forward.
A terrifying force rippled out, causing even the Zhenyu Imperial Son's expression to change slightly. With a light shout, he immediately thrust out both palms to meet the blow.
Divine radiance rippled, space annihilated—truly terrifying.
The Zhenyu Imperial Son's attack was blocked.
Thud, thud, thud—
The short figure retreated several steps but was completely unharmed. He grinned at the Zhenyu Imperial Son, showing his teeth. "Not bad for the offspring of the Suppressing Prison Great Emperor. Your strength is indeed impressive. After using a forbidden secret technique, you can reach such a level. If not for my Dwarf Clan's innate boundless strength, I truly would have been sent flying by you, which would be a disgrace to my Dwarf Clan's face."
"Dwarf King Tiesuo!" The Zhenyu Imperial Son's expression darkened. The Dwarf Clan was a major clan among humans, with formidable strength.
This Dwarf King Tiesuo before him was the offspring of a Dwarf Clan Giant, born with terrifying bloodline, cultivated to the late-stage God King realm, and possessed strength that had reached an astonishing level.
If not for the fact that he also practiced both cultivation and body refinement, making his physical body equally formidable, any other Giant's offspring facing this Dwarf King Tiesuo would definitely gain no advantage.
Long Yuan said, "Brother Tiesuo, no need to waste words with him. Kill him now!"
"Agreed!" said Dwarf King Tiesuo.
Beside them, another Giant's offspring strode forward. The three simultaneously targeted the Zhenyu Imperial Son, releasing astonishing auras that crashed toward him.
At this moment, the Zhenyu Imperial Son's expression was not good. With a long roar, his entire body erupted with surging divine radiance, nearly burning, as he actively charged to attack the three.
Long Yuan said, "Be careful! Zhen Ming is burning his essence blood. In this state, his strength will become terrifying!"
The other two naturally understood how fearsome the Zhenyu Imperial Son was in this condition, but they showed no fear. As Giants' offspring, none of them were simple. They also transformed into streams of light and charged forward.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
The four figures collided like four terrifying meteors, smashing entire sections of palaces and towers within the Divine City into ruins, scattering debris everywhere—truly astonishing.
Pfft—
Soon, blood trickled from the corner of the Zhenyu Imperial Son's mouth. Targeted simultaneously by three Giants' offspring, even burning his essence blood and using a forbidden secret technique to forcibly enhance himself was not enough.
His opponents were all too strong; he had no advantage fighting one against three.
"Take the chance, kill him!"
Long Yuan's eyes flashed with ferocity. A war spear appeared in his hand, and he thrust it viciously toward the Zhenyu Imperial Son.
On the other side, Dwarf King Tiesuo swung his giant hammer, smashing it over.
The third Giant's offspring, wielding twin maces, struck forcefully.
The Zhenyu Imperial Son's figure staggered back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His situation was dire, but looking at the numerous Heaven's Prides from the Southern Wasteland lying in the ruins of the Divine City behind him, he gritted his teeth fiercely. No matter what, since he had brought them out, he must bring them back.
But clearly, it would be very difficult for him to do so.
Pfft—
At that moment, the Zhenyu Imperial Son was struck in the chest by Dwarf King's fearsome war hammer. His battle armor shattered, his chest caved in deeply. He spat out three mouthfuls of blood in succession, his figure plummeting toward the Divine City.
The three looked down coldly from above, observing the scene. Long Yuan said, "Both of you, let's attack together and kill Zhen Ming to avoid complications. The final distribution will be as promised initially!"
"Yes!"
"Agreed!"
The three attacked simultaneously, arriving before the Zhenyu Imperial Son in an instant, all striking toward his head, aiming to directly shatter and annihilate both his soul and true spirit.
The Zhenyu Imperial Son's face showed despair; he hadn't expected to die here.
At this moment, who could possibly save him?
"Imperial Son!"
The ten God Sons and other Heaven's Prides of the Zhenyu Imperial Domain were equally despairing. They hadn't expected that just after leaving the Southern Wasteland, they would face such a crisis of total annihilation, with even the Zhenyu Imperial Son about to die.
Boom—
Suddenly, the sealed void trembled. The curtain of the Divine City was forcibly pierced, and a figure forcefully barged into the city.
That figure was swift as lightning, making it impossible for countless Heaven's Prides to see clearly. In the next moment, he appeared between the Zhenyu Imperial Son and Long Yuan, Dwarf King, and the others, standing imposingly in the middle.
It was a handsome youth in his early twenties, with a tall, slender, and robust build. When he appeared, the ten God Sons revealed looks of pleasant surprise. "It's him! He's finally here! We're saved!"
"It's Brother Ye!"
The Zhenyu Imperial Son immediately recognized the newcomer as Ye Chen and breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Yuan and the other two were momentarily stunned, surprised that someone had broken through the Divine City's light curtain and entered. However, their attacks did not diminish in force, merely shifting from targeting the Zhenyu Imperial Son to the newcomer. They said coldly, "Another one coming to die."
The newcomer was indeed Ye Chen. His face was cold, and he did not retreat in the slightest. Instead, he raised both hands and thrust his palms forward toward the three.
Boom—
Under the terrifying collision, the void exploded.
However, Long Yuan, Tiesuo, and the other three Giants' offspring soon discovered with shock that their fierce attacks had all been blocked. Although they had struck their opponent, they had not caused the expected damage.
Outside the Divine City, the numerous Heaven's Prides on the nine-hundredth floor also showed astonishment.
"So strong!"
"He actually blocked the attacks of three Giants' offspring with his bare hands! Who exactly is this person?"
"He saved the Zhenyu Imperial Son. Could he also be from that barbaric land of the Southern Wasteland?"
At this moment, looking at the suddenly appeared Ye Chen, they felt a bit more wariness.
This Heaven's Pride was not simple.
