Chapter 118: Chapter 108 Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order! (1st Update)

The two armies stood in opposition, and at a certain moment, both surged forward, shaking the very earth beneath them, and everyone’s heart was seized with apprehension.

Boom—

Just as a battle unprecedented in scale was about to erupt, a white bolt of lightning appeared. It was a deathly white long spear descending from the sky, piercing the earth between the two armies with a thunderous crash, emanating a golden light that seemed to reach the heavens.

Swish—

A black-clad youth appeared atop the spear, standing tall and proud, his black hair wildly dancing in the wind, his bearing sharp and commanding immediate attention from all present.

However, in the next moment, the youth’s action completely stunned both sides. He turned abruptly, facing the demon beast army of thousands, his fair face showing no sign of fear as he shouted, "Silver Ape King, cease this chaos at once! Do you dare defy the orders of your lord, Hongtian Great Saint?"

The youth’s voice roared like a temple bell—sonorous and imposing. Even amidst the clamor of thousands, it was profoundly loud, reverberating clearly in the ears of every person and demon beast.

At this moment, the millions of beings in both armies halted their advance in a daze, all eyes fixed on the black-clad youth whose presence dominated the battlefield. They looked in bewilderment at their leaders, unsure of what to do next.

On Xiafeng Country’s side, the reaction was one of shock and delight; although they didn’t understand what was happening, it sounded as though the battle might cease. Could this be true?

"Is that... Ye Chen!?"

Many exclaimed in surprise, especially the elite students from the Heavenly Level Academy, who were now gazing dumbfounded at the black-clad youth. Was this not Ye Chen, who had vanished without a trace not long ago? Why was he suddenly appearing, and uttering such words?

All of this sowed confusion among them.

Only Vivian breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing the youth returning safely. Her worried heart could settle down now, no longer filled with anxiety.

However, the sight of the youth standing amidst the battlefield still filled her with concern, fearing that the momentarily halted armies might clash again and inadvertently harm Ye Chen, who was right at the center of it all.

This moment, hearing the youth’s words, the beings of Heavenly Divine Realm from both sides felt a strong pressure emanating, causing the entire battlefield to tremble with the might of those in the Divine Spirit Realm—all on account of the title invoked by the youth—

Hongtian Great Saint!

It need not be mentioned for the Silver Ape King of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, as the Hongtian Great Saint was his master, yet only a select few were privy to this fact. How did this youth come to know such a secret?

The Mansion Masters and even the Kingdom Ancestor of Xiafeng Country couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

In this world, due to the laws of nature, transcending the Heavenly Divine Realm to attain a Divine Position is extremely difficult, nearly impossible.

Throughout the ages, the number of powerful divine beings could be fully enumerated—each epoch only gave rise to a few divine beings, who once shook the world and were recorded in history as Supreme Divines.

Hongtian Great Saint was one such Supreme Divine, who left a resounding legacy on the annals of Tiandu, a thousand six to seven hundred years ago. When he achieved his Divine Position, he once shook the vast Tiandu Continent, reigning supreme without equal, leaving behind a brilliant era marked in its history.

Though later, it was rumored that he fought an earth-shaking battle with a mysterious divine being in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Forest, leveling a swath of forest tens of thousands of miles wide. After that battle that alarmed heaven and earth, he vanished, and the mystery of his whereabouts had been a point of speculation ever since.

One might assume, after more than a thousand years, that even the most potent divine beings would fade with time. However, according to Ye Chen’s words, this once supreme divine being who reigned over the continent was somehow still alive, and seemingly, he had become the master of the Beast God of the Demon Beast Mountain Range—an astonishing rumor indeed.

Could it be that within the most profound depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there truly resided the ancient divine being—Hongtian Great Saint?

Recalling that the aura previously emanating from within the mountain range had the power to suppress the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, it appeared to confirm Ye Chen’s assertion.

Boom—

A silver light streaked like lightning, emerging from the deep recesses of the mountain range and descending onto the middle of the battlefield. The ground itself could not withstand the impact and cracked open with large fissures that spread across the enormous battlefield. Both armies trembled violently, nearly tumbling to the ground.

That was an ape, but unlike any other, its whole body was covered in silver-bright fur, shimmering with a silver light, standing ten zhang tall, not much larger than other Demon Beasts in the Martial God Realm, but it exuded a supremely terrifying pressure from the Heavenly Divine Realm, rolling in like a surge of mighty waves.

Beast God!

At that moment, everyone realized the true identity of this Silver Ape King before them, the true Sovereign of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, otherwise, it could not possibly possess such an enormous and horrifying pressure from the Heavenly Divine Realm.

Swoosh—

Almost simultaneously, two figures appeared; they were none other than the Lord Mansion Master and the Kingdom Ancestor. Now they stood in the center of the battlefield, before Ye Chen, both exuding the formidable pressure of the Heavenly Divine Realm, confronting the Silver Ape King.

Boom—

The ground cracked open, the terrifying pressure of three beings from the Heavenly Divine Realm clashed wildly on the battlefield, and the vast expanse could not withstand it, immediately fracturing with enormous cracks.

The armies from both sides received the pressure from the three great Heavenly Gods at close range, and the vast majority, whether human or Demon Beast, even those existing in the Martial God Realm, couldn’t help but submit to the ground, their shoulders bearing the weight as heavy as Mount Tai.

In the midst of the battlefield, only a black-clad youth stood alone, his hair unable to move on its own, wildly fluttering, completely unaffected by the pressure of the three great Heavenly Divine Realm beings, his stance still tall and straight, drawing attention.

"Silver Ape King, do you truly wish to fight?" shouted the Lord Mansion Master and the Kingdom Ancestor. Ye Chen was a contender for the Divine Position, with astounding talent that could not be risked, and according to his words, it seemed like the legendary Hongtian Great Saint intended to stop the conflict.

The Silver Ape King ignored the two Heavenly Divine Realm beings, his tangible gaze falling on the black-clad youth, filled with a chilling frost: "Say, who exactly are you?"

Faced with the inquisition of a Great Demon from the Heavenly Divine Realm, Ye Chen remained utterly fearless, coldly saying, "Have you not heard? Your master has already ordered you to cease the chaos. Do you dare to defy your master’s will?"

"Hmph, when did the master ever say—" Before he could finish, the Silver Ape King suddenly trembled, looking at Ye Chen with shock, as if trying to completely see through him: "How did you come to know of this!"

The Mansion Master and the Kingdom Ancestor quivered with joy. Although aware that Ye Chen would not speak without evidence, hearing the Silver Ape King’s words, which seemed like an admission, they couldn’t help but overflow with surprise; the Demon Beast uprising might indeed be at an end.

"How I came to know is of no concern to you. What you must understand is that this upheaval must come to an end," Ye Chen said indifferently, showing no fear against the formidable beings of the Heavenly Divine Realm, stepping back behind the two Heavenly Divine Realm figures.

"Hmph, the chaos can end, but you, lad, dare to speak to this Sovereign in such a manner. Your boldness requires a lesson; crushing your cultivation will serve as punishment," snorted the Silver Ape King, stretching out his large hand toward Ye Chen.

However, naturally, the two existences from the Heavenly Divine Realm of Xiafeng Country couldn’t stand idly by and watch Ye Chen get captured. Clashing with the Ape King, they engaged.

Crack—

As beings of the Heavenly Divine Realm collided, the very void tore asunder, revealing a hideous and pitch-black spatial crack, causing hearts to race in awe.

In truth, had the three not intentionally suppressed their power, this single clash would not have merely resulted in tearing a spatial crack, but could have caused a vast collateral damage, annihilating countless from both armies, leading to severe casualties.

The Silver Ape King coldly shouted, "Does Xiafeng Country truly not wish to end the chaos? Should you dare to obstruct this Sovereign, the uproar shall recommence!"

Everyone’s faces changed color, and at that moment, the Silver Ape King took action against Ye Chen once again. The two Heavenly Divine Realm figures hesitated just slightly before moving to intervene, but it was too late.

The speed of the Silver Ape King was too fast, and in an instant, he was before Ye Chen, his massive, bristling hand reaching out and about to close, set to crush this daring human youth to pulp at the hand of a being from the Heavenly Divine Realm.

"Ye Chen—!" Vivian exclaimed out loud, while others’ eyes went wide, as if already visualizing the scene of Ye Chen being crushed to smithereens.

"Silver Ape King, how dare you!" The two Heavenly Divine Realm beings lunged at the Silver Ape King.

But in this moment of crisis, Ye Chen didn’t show a speck of fear, producing an object and saying, "Silver Ape King, do you still dare to lay a hand on me after seeing this Token?"

As he spoke, the Silver Ape King’s actions abruptly halted. The token in the hands of this human youth was ancient in appearance, engraved with the characters "Heaven Punishment" on both sides, and it exuded a rhythmic flow of the Divine.
