Ye Chen looked at the Ancient Hua Heavenly King from afar, revealing a meaningful smile. "Finally decided to show yourself?"
Although Ye Chen's words were disrespectful, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King showed no trace of anger. Instead, there was more of a bitter smile. "If I didn't come out now, I'm afraid the entire Imperial Dynasty would be completely destroyed by you."
Wasn't that the truth? Even a Heavenly King-level Great Dao Ancient Weapon was no longer effective. He had no choice but to appear.
Seeing the Heavenly King ancestor appear, the powerhouses of the Ancient Hua Imperial Dynasty were naturally filled with joy, completely failing to perceive the slightest hint of bitterness in his smile.
The current Imperial Sovereign strode forward, cupping his fists. "Ancestor above, we have been unfilial. Not only did we fail to kill this youth, but we also allowed him to destroy the imperial palace and kill so many of our clan's powerhouses. However, we beseech you, Ancestor, to take action and slay this youth, bringing justice for our fallen clansmen."
The other powerhouses of the Ancient Hua Imperial Dynasty also cupped their fists and half-knelt in petition.
The powerhouses from the other two Imperial Dynasties also paid their respects respectfully, saying, "We are willing to follow the Ancient Hua Heavenly King in taking action to suppress and kill this youth, restoring a clear and bright world."
Those watching the battle could only sigh, sighing for the Battle Saint King. Even the Heavenly King ancestor who had been in slumber had finally appeared. The Battle Saint King's invincibility was destined to be shattered. No matter how powerful he was, he could not contend against this.
Was a brilliant Imperial Star, advancing towards the peak of the Great Dao, about to fall right before their eyes?
Yet Ye Chen showed no trace of worry. On the contrary, he looked at the Ancient Hua Heavenly King with ease, smiling as he said, "Do you want to take action against me?"
Looking at Ye Chen's somewhat expectant expression, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King could only offer a bitter smile.
He truly wished he could take action against him. However, the Faith Power overflowing from between the other's eyebrows was so powerful it surpassed his imagination. It was vast and endless, deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, simply more immense and terrifying than the entire accumulation of the Ancient Hua Imperial Dynasty throughout the ages.
Without needing to say more, this Battle Saint King from the myriad realms absolutely controlled an extremely fearsome major power, one even stronger than the Ancient Hua Imperial Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to command so much Faith Power.
The other party had come prepared. Just this Faith Power alone was enough to render him invincible. He had simply been deeply concealing it all along. Pitifully, the powerhouses of the three Imperial Dynasties remained unaware, still foolishly believing that he, this Heavenly King ancestor, had the ability to kill the Battle Saint King.
One had to admit, the other's scheming mind made him sigh in admiration. It simply shouldn't be something a young junior should possess.
And what made him even more wary was that Dao Pagoda flowing with primordial Chaos Qi. Thirty-three stories high, so extraordinary. When he first saw it, his pupils had constricted sharply into needle points, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.
Because he recalled a legend so ancient it was almost untraceable.
He recalled an ancient mythical legend that had nearly caused the entire Ancient Emperor Realm to be destroyed, back in that distant Primordial era.
This mysterious Chaos Dao Pagoda had once appeared, playing the most crucial role.
"Ancestor!"
At this moment, the Ancient Hua Imperial Sovereign and the other Imperial Dynasty powerhouses called out, startling the Ancient Hua Heavenly King from his contemplation.
Immediately, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King made a shocking decision: "Cease all fighting immediately! No one is to take action against this young friend again. Otherwise, they will face severe punishment under clan law!"
Clearly, everyone was greatly astonished. They had been expecting the Ancient Hua Heavenly King to take action and suppress the arrogant Battle Saint King. Who could have guessed he would order a halt to the fighting, and even threaten with clan law?
Clan law naturally targeted the imperial clan members of the Ancient Hua Imperial Dynasty, and it was quite severe. Very few dared to violate it.
Everyone was stunned. What had happened? Why had things changed so quickly, leaving them unable to react?
"Ancestor—"
Led by the Ancient Hua Imperial Sovereign, a group of Imperial Dynasty Saints, including several ancient recluses, stepped forward. They carried questions, deeply puzzled by the Ancient Hua Heavenly King's actions, and also bore anger and resentment.
They were already locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Battle Saint King. How could they let go of such a great opportunity? They should be going all out to attack and kill him. Could it be that the Heavenly King ancestor was afraid of him?
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King let out a cold snort. The temperature of the entire imperial capital plummeted sharply. His icy gaze swept over the powerhouses, instantly making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, chilled to the bone, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
"Young friend, please come this way."
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King spoke, his tone striving to be as equal as possible, inviting Ye Chen to a heavenly palace treasure hall deep within the Ancient Hua Imperial Palace.
Ye Chen nodded and stepped forward. The Ancient Hua Heavenly King followed, actually walking side by side with him. This detail caused everyone's expressions to change drastically with shock, because to a certain extent, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King was actually treating the Battle Saint King as being on the same level. How was this possible?
The powerhouses of the three Imperial Dynasties were filled with terror. Especially at this moment, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King even sent a voice transmission: "From now on, the Ancient Hua Imperial Clan is not to provoke the Battle Saint King. His strength is not inferior to mine."
That simple voice transmission struck the entire Ancient Hua Imperial Clan like a thunderbolt. They also felt a suffocating sense of having narrowly escaped death. All the Saints actually broke out in a cold sweat on their backs, their faces exceptionally pale.
The Battle Saint King was a Heavenly King?
The powerhouses of the Changhua Empire and the Liuxia Empire were even more terrified. They didn't dare to stay any longer. After hurriedly bidding farewell, under the dumbfounded gazes of countless people in the imperial capital, they actually tore through the void and left in a somewhat disheveled manner, as if they had heard something utterly terrifying.
All of this, all of it, could only be attributed to the Battle Saint King.
Yet everything remained shrouded in mystery.
Led by the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, the two entered an important treasure hall, a place reserved for receiving the most honored guests. Even the arrival of a Heavenly King would be treated no better.
Someone had already presented precious Dao tea. Ye Chen was familiar with many Heaven and Earth Treasures. With just a light sniff, he already understood what tea was in the cup: Enlightenment Spirit Tea, a type of Dao tea beneficial for comprehending Heaven and Earth, quite rare. Even in the myriad realms, there wasn't much of it.
Ye Chen took a light sip. Immediately, numerous wonderful thoughts emerged in his sea of consciousness, and his perception of Heaven and Earth became much clearer.
But that was all. He possessed Faith Power and was almost constantly in such a state, so he didn't find it particularly rare.
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King naturally also understood the wondrous uses of Faith Power. He felt an increasingly heartfelt sigh of admiration for this young Battle Saint King before him.
This person was no ordinary creature in a pond. Once encountering wind and clouds, he would transform into a dragon.
Ye Chen set down the Dao tea and looked directly at the Ancient Hua Heavenly King. "I attacked the Ancient Hua Imperial Dynasty relentlessly this time, forcing you to come out, because there are some matters I wish to discuss with you. I also want to understand some things. As an exchange, I can also answer some of your questions. For example, about it."
He pointed to the Human Sovereign Pagoda that constantly hovered above his head.
