Boom—
A streak of light descended from the heavens, landing on the divine ship of the Xiang Kingdom. It was a heroic and extraordinary young man.
He wore divine armor, his body wreathed in divine radiance, with wisps of supreme Saint might radiating from him. He was extremely powerful, drawing exclamations from many present. He was the Crown Prince of the Xiang Kingdom!
Without a doubt, this was an exceptionally powerful Heaven's Pride. Though young, he had already entered the Saint Treasury Realm seven years ago. A single year of his cultivation was said to be worth decades for others. Rumors even had it that he had received guidance from a projection of his kingdom's Divine Spirit, making him incredibly formidable.
The appearance of the Xiang Kingdom's Crown Prince drew the attention of even veteran powerhouses who had been famous for years. They could sense that this Crown Prince's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Saint.
It wasn't just the Xiang Kingdom's Crown Prince. During this time, other prodigies of the younger generation from the Ancient Emperor Continent arrived one after another.
Streaks of light flashed across the sky as numerous young Heaven's Prides arrived, each one showing remarkable talent and promise.
Over these three days, Ye Chen had in a way witnessed the bearing of the Ancient Emperor Continent's younger generation prodigies. What made him sigh with emotion was that these prodigies were indeed very powerful, somewhat beyond his initial expectations.
Those who had the qualification to come were basically at the Demi-Saint level or above; those below Demi-Saint were rare.
Even among them, the top-tier prodigies, like the Crown Prince of the Xiang Kingdom and the other Crown Prince successors from the Thirty-Six Empires, were not simply in the Saint Treasury Realm. They were among the strongest Heaven's Prides of the current era, capable of contending with veteran powerhouses.
Ye Chen felt that the Crown Princes of the Thirty-Six Empires were probably evenly matched in strength with the Crown Princes of the Nine Great Imperial Dynasties from the Ancient Divine Continent.
Naturally, the number of such king-level Heaven's Prides was far greater here than on the Ancient Divine Continent.
Regarding this, Ye Chen wasn't particularly surprised. Since the Ancient Divine Continent could have a Golden Great Era with Heaven's Prides emerging in droves, the Ancient Emperor Continent naturally wouldn't lack them. In terms of numbers, it was not inferior to the Ancient Divine Continent, perhaps even far greater.
Moreover, Ye Chen knew that most of them were likely brought here intentionally by their respective major powers for training.
It went without saying that these young prodigies were the successor-level Heaven's Prides cultivated with full force by their major powers, who naturally hoped they would become even stronger through tempering.
Of course, from Ye Chen's current level, his perspective on things was different. Even if the rulers of the Thirty-Six Empires and Seventy-Two Ancient Kingdoms—legendary figures held in high esteem by the world—were to come, he wouldn't pay them too much mind. Even with the law shackles binding him, he could still suppress and slay them.
As for these so-called top young prodigies, given his current mindset, he viewed them more like an adult looking at children, not really caring much. At most, he might glance at them a few more times, never placing them on the same level.
Standing in a different position, one views things differently.
Looking back, he had already surpassed his generation, having looked down upon them for many years. Regardless of seniority, in terms of combat power, even Saint Lords had to defer to him.
However, even now, Ye Chen dared not claim he was absolutely invincible. He was stronger than True Kings, but there was one category of people he dared not say he had surpassed.
Like the Offspring of Supremes!
They were the children of mythical Emperors and Sovereigns, inheriting their most powerful bloodlines. Their bloodline power was peerless throughout the ages, far surpassing that of True Kings.
The Ancient Emperor Continent had true Emperor and Sovereign clans. He even suspected they might emerge in this era, and perhaps figures like the Offspring of Supremes would appear in this treasure-seizing battle, which he greatly anticipated.
Moreover, even before entering the Ancient Emperor Realm, he had heard that Offspring of Supremes had emerged in the myriad realms and entered the Ancient Emperor Realm. He hadn't encountered them on the Ancient Divine Continent, so they were likely on the Ancient Emperor Continent.
He had also heard that one such Offspring of a Supreme had already reached the Heavenly King realm. He didn't know if they had entered the mysterious Divine Realm of the Ancient Emperor Continent or were hiding their strength and remaining in the mortal world.
If given the chance to encounter one, Ye Chen wouldn't mind fighting a battle to experience the power of an Offspring of a Supreme.
Even with the law shackles binding him, he feared no battle.
This confidence stemmed from being a Battle Saint!
Time flowed slowly as the Saints from the human Domain gathered. Over the three days, Ye Chen had been quietly meditating.
Although not a single trace of law fluctuation emanated from him, his entire body naturally exuded a sense of returning to simplicity through the Dao, a state of Dao techniques merging with nature. He was in harmony with this heaven and earth, his aura integrated as one. Unless someone intentionally probed, many would automatically overlook his presence.
Precisely because of this, when some people noticed Ye Chen's figure, they couldn't help but secretly pay attention, guessing who this mysterious figure might be.
However, they soon discovered that not a single trace of law fluctuation emanated from him. First stunned, then they chuckled dismissively. So, he was just an ordinary mortal who hadn't cultivated, despite exhibiting that state of Dao techniques merging with nature that would surprise even Saint Lord-level figures.
How dare a mere mortal appear here? Didn't he see that many Demi-Saints had moved far away?
Otherwise, even the weakest unintentional action from the powerhouses present could annihilate swathes of mortals from a distance.
Naturally, they wouldn't kindly remind him either. Life and death were fated, none of their concern, especially for a mere ant.
Ye Chen, for his part, was happy with the peace and quiet.
Not everyone was cold and indifferent, disregarding the mere "ant" in the eyes of the powerhouses. For instance, a young girl actively flew over to Ye Chen's side.
Calling her a young girl was perhaps an overstatement; she was more like a little girl, looking only about eleven or twelve years old, already growing gracefully. She had two ponytails, and her delicate, jade-like little face was pink and adorable.
She wore a pink dress and landed lightly beside Ye Chen, her voice clear and melodious: "Big Brother."
Ye Chen opened his eyes. Seeing the adorable girl, he remembered his own younger sister Ruoxi from her innocent childhood days and couldn't help but reveal a slight smile. "Little sister, what can I do for you?"
The girl with her pink, adorable, delicate little face leaned in closer, not shy at all, and said charmingly, "Big Brother, do you know how to cultivate?"
Ye Chen was taken aback. This was the first time in his life someone had asked him this question. But considering the law shackles binding him now, with no law fluctuations, being misunderstood was normal. Especially by such a cute and innocent little girl, it evoked a genuine smile from within him. Instead of answering, he asked in return, "What do you think?"
The girl opened her bright, clear eyes, black and white distinct, and stared at Ye Chen for a moment before shaking her head. "You don't."
Ye Chen smiled but didn't answer that question. "What if I don't?"
The girl pointed at the powerhouses in the distance and suddenly said very seriously, "Since Big Brother doesn't know how to cultivate, you should leave here immediately. Look at those people, they can all fly through the skies and earth, they're very powerful. If Big Brother stays here, it's very easy to get into danger. Hurry back to your home planet."
