Chapter 116: Chapter 106: My Name is Qian! (2nd Update)

In the space within Hongtian Divine Mountain, an ancient altar, square with each side measuring thirty feet, lay horizontally in the void.

Above the altar, a terrifying divine being lay on its back, human-like in form but obscured by a mist that made it unclear which race it belonged to.

Its limbs and even the heart at its chest were each penetrated by a three-foot green blade of differing colors, deeply embedded in the altar, rendering the being utterly immobile.

These five Divine Swords were of gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow, representing the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, symbolizing the natural five elements.

The Five Elements Divine Sword, piercing through the limbs and heart, sealed the five elements, disabling the humanoid creature from moving.

Each sword’s hilt was linked to a hefty chain, not ordinary in the least, woven from Divine-level Dao Trace Power, connecting to the Five Elements Divine Palace, with the other end disappearing deep into the cave wall.

It was this ancient altar, along with the Five Elements Divine Sword, that completely sealed the Divine Spirit Realm’s Outer Heaven Great Demon.

The mist shrouding the Outer Heaven Great Demon could not block Ye Chen’s sight; his eyes were clear, and he saw through it instantly, and both Ye Chen and Elder Yan’s expressions grew grave at this moment.

Indeed, it was just as they had guessed.

However, he did not express his thoughts aloud, for this matter must not be revealed.

Hongtian Great Saint, pointing at the Outer Heaven Great Demon, said, "A thousand and eight hundred years ago, as I traveled the continent, I stumbled upon this demon from beyond, who had invaded Tiandu Continent. At that time, it seemed to be surveying Tiandu, from high above the clouds, and when I discovered it, it attacked me, forcing me into battle."

"Though I achieved a Divine Position, I must admit, this Outer Heaven Great Demon was unprecedentedly powerful, possessing combat abilities on par with a Divine, and its mastery of Daoist Divine Abilities was terrifying and formidable!"

"In that battle, as time went on, I found myself overpowered and began to fall into a disadvantage, sustaining injuries. Later, another Divine power came to my aid, and only then was this Outer Heaven Great Demon finally suppressed."

"Despite the suppression of the demon, I was the first to be struck, my Primordial Spirit injured, and I was struck by curse power, leaving me with severe Dao injuries."

"I had hoped to completely heal the Dao injury, but in the end, I was unable to do anything; the most skilled Alchemist of the continent had even come to treat my injuries, yet they couldn’t heal me entirely, only managing to postpone the worsening of my condition and gifted me with a World Heart Fragment, allowing me to seal myself within and delay the outbreak of the Dao injury."

"But the responsibility to suppress this Outer Heaven Great Demon fell on me, and over the ensuing thousand years, every now and then, the demon would riot, preventing my Dao injury from healing and even invoking the curse power within me, triggering the Dao injury outbreaks—leading to multiple disturbances and skirmishes, sacrificing countless lives to delay the worsening of my injuries."

Hongtian Great Saint briefly explained the cause and effects; otherwise, it wasn’t something that could be fully conveyed in just a few words.

Yet, the peril of that battle was palpable to anyone, hence why even a mighty Divine took over a thousand years to end up in this predicament.

On the ancient altar, the Five Elements Divine Sword that pierced and sealed the Outer Heaven Great Demon sensed someone’s approach and suddenly opened its eyes, like cold lightning bursting forth, instantly illuminating the dark cavern with a chilling gaze over Hongtian Great Saint and Ye Chen.

From its body, an immensely terrifying power was released unrestrained, causing the entire Hongtian Divine Mountain to tremble violently. The Five Elements Divine Sword and the Five Elements Order Chains rattled loudly, taut as if about to snap at any moment.

"Hmph, a prisoner dares to struggle—it’s seeking death!"

Hongtian Great Saint snorted coldly, unleashing five Divine Powers that radiated Five-colored Divine Light, each striking the Five Elements Divine Sword. Instantly, the swords clanged loudly, sword Qi surged overwhelmingly, and interwoven Dao Trace Power caused the Outer Heaven Great Demon to bleed profusely at five locations, staining the ancient altar red.

Upon sensing an unprecedented powerful fluctuation from Hongtian Great Saint, the Outer Heaven Great Demon was slightly taken aback, "Hongtian Great Saint, has your Dao injury healed?"

Hongtian Great Saint let out a cold laugh, "Sorry to disappoint you. Thanks to this Fellow Daoist’s assistance, the Dao injuries inflicted upon me have been suppressed. Now, I’ve restored my Divine Spirit Realm cultivation. Unfortunately for you, you remain suppressed by me."

Suddenly, a pair of icy eyes landed on Ye Chen, who was also watching coolly. Four tangible gazes collided in the void, trembling as if about to tear it apart.

The Outer Heaven Great Demon was neither shocked nor angered, recovering calmly after a brief surprise, "I see, Hongtian Great Saint. Although your Dao injury hasn’t healed, it’s been temporarily curbed by a special Dao and law, so it’s not difficult for you to stand before me. This person is indeed extraordinary. Congratulations to Tiandu Continent for birthing another Divine."

His congratulatory words, however, seemed to carry a tinge of mockery.

Hongtian Great Saint’s expression instantly cooled, and he snorted, "Mind your own business."

The Outer Heaven Great Demon shook his head, showing no awareness of being a prisoner, but instead trying to persuade, "Hongtian Great Saint, I respect that you all are Saints of this generation. To have achieved this step on this imprisoned continent is quite difficult, so I advise you, do not struggle in vain. The so-called Heaven Punishment is useless, because you will never understand our true strength."

"Whether that is the case, but it’s all up to human effort," Ye Chen suddenly interjected.

"Another ignorant one," the Outer Heaven Great Demon said amusedly, shaking his head, "Do Divine beings really represent the supreme? You must realize that this is merely your ignorant belief. The Dao is limitless, Divine beings, Saintly Treasure Realm, are merely one of the realms. I advise you to stop struggling, and stay willingly on the Tiandu Continent, we won’t do anything to you."

"Stay willingly for you to monitor and study?" Ye Chen said, then unexpectedly added, "Let me ask you, in these past years in the Heavenly and Myriad of Realms, has a true Human Emperor emerged?"

Hearing this, the Outer Heaven Great Demon suddenly showed a look of surprise, staring at Ye Chen in shock, "You... how do you know that?"

Ye Chen just smiled cryptically, "Actually, I know much more than you could imagine. If one day you manage to escape alive, help me pass a message—tell Yuan Yang God King, Sun God, Ancient Demon God and those people, that a dead man is missing them, and one day he will find them."

The Outer Heaven Great Demon trembled, utterly shocked, staring at Ye Chen with even more astonishment than if he had been facing his own death, it was simply immeasurable.

It wasn’t until after they left Hongtian Divine Mountain that Hongtian Great Saint suddenly looked at Ye Chen with extreme caution, releasing threads of Divine oppression specifically targeting Ye Chen, fully on guard, he said, "Fellow Daoist, I need an explanation!"

What needed explaining was the meaning behind the conversation between Ye Chen and the Outer Heaven Great Demon.

What did the Heavenly and Myriad of Realms, the Human Emperor path refer to?

Who were Yuan Yang God King, Sun God, and Ancient Demon God?

Why did the Outer Heaven Great Demon’s expression change drastically after hearing these?

Now, he suddenly suspected that Ye Chen in front of him might not be a creature of the Tiandu Continent, but might possibly come from outside this continent.

This conjecture was like a seed, once rooted, it was difficult to remove, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

Ye Chen naturally understood what Hongtian Great Saint was thinking and said, "Regarding this secret, it is a secret of my own, not to be shared with others, but one thing I can swear by the Heavenly Dao, I have no intention of harming the Tiandu Continent, this you can be at ease."

Hongtian Great Saint’s expression then slightly eased, after all, each Divine being was proud with their own secrets, not possible to share with others.

And for him, as long as Ye Chen did not intend to harm the Tiandu Continent, that was enough.

"Sorry, Fellow Daoist, I was rash just now," Hongtian Great Saint apologized.

Ye Chen shook his head, "No need to apologize, I understand your feelings. Since your injury has also been suppressed, let’s end the chaos caused by the demon beasts, unnecessary to continue allowing more innocent lives to be sacrificed in vain."

"That is only right," Hongtian Great Saint said, "I will message Xiao Yuan later to end the chaos."

After a pause, Hongtian Great Saint suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask, where do you plan to go after leaving? The battle of Heaven Punishment is coming soon, it is a strategy laid out by the predecessors for eternity. I hope, as a distinguished powerful person like you, you can join to add hope for victory to our,Tiandu Continent."

He was full of anticipation, as such Divine-level strength was indispensable for the battle of Heaven Punishment; the more Divine beings participating, the greater the hope for victory, so he hoped Ye Chen would join the battle.

"We’ll see when the time comes," Ye Chen said vaguely, neither declining nor agreeing straight away. Regarding this, Hongtian Great Saint did not dare to force him to participate, as if Ye Chen got angry and stood on the opposite side, he would indeed become a significant detriment to the Tiandu Continent.

Finally, before Ye Chen left, Hongtian Great Saint handed him an ancient-looking token, inscribed with the characters for "Heaven Punishment" on both sides, emanating a faint divine Dao rhythm.

He said, "Fellow Daoist, perhaps you may not join the battle of Heaven Punishment, but please take this token. It is the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order, only a Divine existence is qualified to hold it. Holding this token, you can go anywhere on the Tiandu Continent, no one would dare to offend, it should bring quite a lot of convenience to you."

Ye Chen accepted it without hesitation, thinking about how during these days, he had received the Martial God Temple’s Anyang Martial God’s token, Li Yun’s Danxin Palace token, and now even the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order, it indeed seemed that many were willing to look out for him.

And indeed, this Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order would be very useful, once shown, who would dare to disrespect?

Lastly, Hongtian Great Saint suddenly remembered something and urgently asked, "Dare I ask Fellow Daoist your honorable name."

But by this moment, Ye Chen’s figure had already flickered, disappearing into the distance, only a voice came from afar, "My name is — Thousands!"
