Threat!
A blatant threat!
Zhao Wudao was terrified, not doubting for a moment that Ye Chen before him dared to kill him, for there was already a precedent—the king of Scarlet God Valley had died at Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen snorted coldly and flung him to the ground. The other kings also trembled, not daring to speak recklessly.
Here, aside from Ye Gucheng and the crimson-haired monster, Ye Chen was the strongest. Who would dare offend him?
Roar—
At this moment, the three-zhang ancient coffin trembled, undergoing another astonishing transformation. Another terrifying creature appeared—an alien race demon, but far stronger than an ordinary alien race king-level demon, belonging to the same terrifying tier as the crimson-haired monster.
This alien race demon creature had four wings on its back, also only two zhang tall, but it was not purely pitch black. Its dark scales carried a deep, somber gold, even imprinted with fine Dao patterns, as if born with innate Dao marks.
Its appearance was even more impactful than the crimson-haired monster's, like a supreme royal clan descending. Countless demons in this region knelt and prostrated on the ground, worshipping from the depths of their hearts, chanting sacrificial prayers.
Moreover, the aura emanating from it was many times more terrifying than that of ordinary alien race king-level demons, not the least bit inferior to that crimson-haired monster.
The kings paled. One crimson-haired monster was already troublesome enough, and now another alien race demon creature not the least bit weaker had appeared. What were they to do?
"Be careful, this is a royal clan demon from the demon race, a true Demon King, very powerful, possessing the fearsome combat power to reign supreme within the same realm. Moreover, this demon royal clan belongs to the Divine Transformation Realm tier of creatures, equivalent to a king-level figure in the Divine Transformation Realm. You can imagine just how powerful it is," Old Yan reminded.
Ye Chen immediately became solemn. A king was invincible among his generation, incredibly powerful, already capable of killing enemies across major realms. How terrifying would a king who had achieved the Divine Transformation Realm be? Probably not the least bit weaker than his current self.
"Naturally, members of the alien race royal clans have always been very few. Only a powerful clan that has produced a monarch can become a supreme royal clan. Generally, their reproductive ability is poor; a royal clan would not have more than ten members per generation. I just didn't expect to encounter one here. Truly rare," Old Yan sighed lightly.
The so-called royal clan was the strongest clan among the alien races, whose ancestors were peerless monarchs who dominated the heavens, thus becoming supreme royal clans. Their descendants could also inherit sufficiently powerful bloodlines.
But such royal clan members were destined to be very few, as difficult as a king appearing among the younger generation.
"A royal clan among the alien race demons?" Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a trace of fervor. "If possible, I'd like to see just how powerful the so-called alien race royal clan can be."
"Its body is even more terrifying!"
The demon royal clan did not roar, nor was it as ferocious-faced as ordinary alien race demons. Its dark golden scales represented nobility and majesty, the mark of a royal clan member.
Its eyes were golden, sweeping over the kings present, flashing with a hint of greed.
It looked at Ye Gucheng and Ye Chen, its greed intensifying even more, filled with fervent desire. It spoke to the crimson-haired monster. Although it was the ancient language of the alien race, at this moment, mental senses were released, and divine consciousness resonated, allowing everyone to understand what it was saying. Their faces changed drastically—it was actually discussing how to divide up the kings and Ye Gucheng, to treat them as food.
"Good, very good. I didn't expect to encounter so many delicious foods not long after awakening from slumber. Each one has vigorous potential, powerful flesh and blood, almost comparable to the royal clans of our world. Especially those two humans, their potential is shockingly terrifying, almost comparable to ours. If we can successfully devour them, it would greatly benefit the growth of our strength."
The demon royal clan murmured, its greed undisguised, sweeping its gaze over the kings, especially resting on Ye Gucheng and Ye Chen. It could clearly sense the extremely vigorous divine energy of their fleshly bodies, even stronger than theirs.
For them, it was absolutely a great tonic, a divine object. Once devoured, they could certainly advance another step, becoming even stronger.
As for the other kings, although not as good as those two, their potential was not the least bit weaker than the two royal clans of their alien race, only their tier was insufficient. Devouring them could also make them stronger.
Both the demon royal clan and the crimson-haired monster were filled with pleasant surprise, because just after emerging, they had encountered so many great tonic foods. That's right, in their eyes, the kings and the two Immortal True Kings were merely nourishment.
Boom—
The earth shook and mountains trembled. The crimson-haired monster, after clashing once with Ye Gucheng, also murmured, its face ferocious, also speaking: "Good, Zhageluo, how about we split these two humans and the other humans in half?"
"Good!"
The demon royal clan named Zhageluo agreed very readily, directly allocating the "food," making the kings' expressions darken. What was this? Treating them all as prey to be killed at will?
But the two alien race royal clans were very powerful, even excessively so. Even if all the kings attacked together, they wouldn't be opponents. The only plan now was to rely on Ye Chen and Ye Gucheng, the two Immortal True Kings.
Ye Gucheng's expression was icy cold. Being regarded as food by the two alien race royal clans had clearly angered this aloof True King-level figure. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Yue, let's attack together, resolve these two monsters as soon as possible. Perhaps there are other treasures inside that three-zhang ancient coffin."
"Good, I was thinking the same," Ye Chen agreed, also angered.
"Hmph, lowly humans, do you really think you are a match for us two royal clan powerhouses?" Zhageluo snorted coldly, its gaze deep and dark. "Back in the previous epoch, we even enslaved your ancestors. Heh heh!"
Everyone's expressions changed. What kind of origins did these alien races have? They seemed very unusual.
Ye Chen only knew a little. Among those present, the one who probably knew the most was Ye Gucheng, this prodigy from an imperial clan. His expression was dark, not saying a word. He stepped forward and, with fingers together, slashed out a soaring sword radiance from above, cleaving down towards the demon royal clan Zhageluo.
"Very powerful," Zhageluo sneered. The four bat wings on its back, dark golden in color, slashed out four brilliant golden rays, entwined with boundless laws, blocking the sword radiance. Its golden eyes flashed with greed. "It's a pity. The stronger you are, the more you can only become our food, nourishment to strengthen our power."
"Is that so? Do you think you are not prey in our eyes? We just happen to be short of two drops of kingly blood. Although the bloodline of the alien race royal clan is a bit filthy, making do is fine."
Swish—
Suddenly, Ye Chen's figure appeared. Treading the Reverse Void Eight Steps, his entire body condensed into a golden light traversing the sky, arriving instantly before the demon royal clan Zhageluo. After a cold laugh, he swung the incomplete Heavenly King Spear and smashed it over directly.
