Within the Emperor's Pass, the mysterious existence uttered ancient phrases, as if engaging in dialogue with the Human Sovereign.
Simple words contained far too much information. Although the crowd could not fully comprehend them, they all clearly understood the gravity of the situation.
Moreover, the Saint Feather Venerable One of the Angel Clan, the Gara Ancient Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Cangxue Venerable One of the Ye Clan, and other Great Powers with Emperor and Sovereign bloodlines all changed expressions.
Ye Chen's expression also changed drastically.
The key 'him'...
Cycle after cycle of Samsara...
The Chaos Sea...
These few phrases truly harbored many profound mysteries, containing an immense amount of information that was utterly bewildering.
What did those words mean?
Was the Human Sovereign in the midst of Samsara? Or did it imply something else?
But when the 'Chaos Sea' was mentioned, the expressions of the various Venerables grew even more solemn.
The Human Emperor Decree only released a powerful Human Sovereign's majesty but did not utter any words. The Supreme Human Sovereign, ruler of the Myriad Domains, seemed to be silent, as if having no words to respond.
Finally, what seemed like a long, drawn-out sigh emanated from within the Emperor's Pass. Then that world-shaking, ghost-grieving Emperor's might withdrew, ceasing to exist, leaving only the Human Emperor Decree standing imposingly in the sky.
Boom—
That towering, unreachable ancient gate also began to close slowly.
The Sovereign character on the Human Emperor Decree shot into the heavens, transforming into a supreme Sovereign Dao imprint. It mobilized the Dao marks of the myriad Daos of the heavens, interweaving them upon the Heavenly Gate, performing a supreme sealing.
Unless one's power surpassed that applied by the Human Sovereign, the Heavenly Pass could not be opened.
In the end, everything came to a close.
The Human Emperor Decree also gradually withdrew its divine radiance, returning to calm, transforming into an edict that landed in the hands of the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord.
But this truly contained far too many mysteries. At this moment, the expressions of the various Venerables appeared unprecedentedly complex.
All were pondering the meaning of the dialogue between those two unreachable existences.
Simultaneously, everyone regarded the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord with extreme wariness, because he held the Human Emperor Decree and was undoubtedly a terrifying existence.
"Let's go."
No one knew who said these words, tinged with melancholy. The Heavenly Pass, for which the various major powers had strived for so long, had finally come to a complete end.
However, this was not the true conclusion, because at this moment, an overlord suddenly knelt down, kowtowing to the ancient Great Sages and pleading with grievance: "This humble elder is a Canglan Sacred Land elder. I beg the various Venerable Ones to uphold justice for my Canglan Sacred Land and severely punish the Battle Saint King!"
Ye Chen's heart sank. What was bound to come had finally arrived.
"What is this matter?"
These ancient Great Sages usually stood aloof, paying no heed to so-called Saint Lords. But concerning the Battle Saint King, especially the Ancient Ancestor of the Immortal Death lineage, spoke up: "Tell us exactly what happened."
"Reporting to the Venerable One, this Battle Saint King is tyrannical and utterly vicious. He alone killed over a dozen high-ranking figures from Sacred Lands, including genuine Sacred Land masters, all of whom died miserably, all because they competed with the Battle Saint King for treasures. This person is far too ruthless and cruel. Moreover, he possesses Supreme Treasures like the Dragon Sturgeon and Nine Tribulation Gold. I beg the various Venerable Ones to take action, severely punish this youth, and restore justice for my Canglan Sacred Land, the Zhao Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom, and other Sacred Lands and ancient kingdoms."
If it were just about Saint Lords, it might be one thing. But hearing that Ye Chen actually possessed Supreme Treasures like the Dragon Sturgeon and Nine Tribulation Gold, even the ancient Great Sages were moved. Either one was a priceless treasure under heaven.
Especially the Ancient Ancestor Great Sage of the Immortal Death lineage, who was hostile to the Battle Saint lineage, snorted coldly: "What a vile little beast, actually killing so many Sacred Land powerhouses for personal gain. Truly insane. He must die today without a doubt."
"Indeed, he should be executed." Another ancient Great Sage spoke, agreeing with Ye Chen's death sentence.
Several other ancient Great Sages watched coldly from the sidelines, choosing to remain silent by default.
Ye Chen sneered: "You've only heard one side of the story, yet you're so certain of my guilt?"
"Seeking death! When we speak, when is it your turn, a mere junior, to speak?" The Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death roared angrily, directly slapping out a palm. Explosive gale-force winds erupted; if struck, even a Heavenly King would be smashed to pieces.
"You go too far."
The Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord directly slapped out a palm, colliding with it. After a thunderous boom, he blocked the attack.
Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart. He never imagined this Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death would go to such unscrupulous lengths to kill him. It was truly unbelievable.
The allied army understood. It must be because the Battle Saint King had killed over a dozen overlords in the Starry Sky Land, and also possessed forbidden legacies and various Supreme Treasures, making even the ancient Great Sages covetous, taking this opportunity to hold him accountable.
Only the Battle Saint King was pitiable.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over the ancient Great Sages one by one, and he smiled: "It seems not everyone wishes for my death."
The Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death sneered: "Apart from the Heavenly Gate's Gate Lord, that old fogey the Myriad Realms Academy Master, the Tai Chu Ancestor who might also act, and the Purple Mansion Great Sage and that ascendant the Myriad Realms Palace Lord who will remain neutral, who else would help you?"
All the Great Sages had long since declared their stances, just as the Ancient Ancestor Immortal Death said.
Ye Chen smiled, not answering. Instead, he looked toward the Flame God Venerable One, cupped his fists, and said: "Flame God Venerable One, this junior would like you to look at something."
Hearing Ye Chen speak like this, the Flame God Venerable One was slightly taken aback. He had never met Ye Chen before. He shook his head: "Little fellow, I have never met you. Even if you show me something, it will be useless."
"Flame God Venerable One, please just take a look." Ye Chen smiled, directly tossing out a bottle.
The Flame God Venerable One smiled, naturally not worried that Ye Chen could harm him. Not to mention him, even if a Heavenly King powerhouse came, they couldn't harm him in the slightest.
He caught it in his hand, looking at the bottle with slight surprise. It was actually a Dao-mark divine bottle, woven from Great Dao laws, quite precious indeed.
Moreover, inside were several drops of Great Dao essence blood, with chains of order faintly visible. It was at least the blood of a Heavenly King realm existence.
The Dao-mark divine bottle transformed into a surge of Dao principles manifesting on his palm, glowing with misty light. The Great Dao essence blood also shone, erupting into patches of bloody radiance. Both exuded an unprecedented, familiar aura.
In an instant, the Flame God Venerable One's smile slowly faded. Simultaneously, an unprecedented, vast pressure erupted from his body. This stretch of the heavens and earth could not withstand it, tearing open thick cracks that extended into the sky above.
Although he did not utter a single word, anyone could sense the barely concealed turbulent emotions in this Flame God Venerable One's heart.
Under countless shocked gazes, the Flame God Venerable One's words, seemingly plain yet containing world-shaking dominance, resounded throughout heaven and earth: "This person—no one may touch him!"
