Chapter 237: Chapter 212 Intimidation

Although they had repelled the invasion of the alien race powerhouses, the people of the world did not feel any joy because they learned a cruel reality—

The Tiandu Continent was merely a world sealed and monitored by the alien race.

This fact was hard for the people to accept. The Tiandu Continent, passed down from generation to generation, had long been regarded as their homeland, with many deep emotions. But now, they realized the cruel truth; they were merely beings living in a vast "prison."

Countless cultivators were furious and unwilling to accept this fact, but there was nothing they could do. Even the high and mighty Supreme Divines remained silent, hidden in nihility, watching everything unfold.

"Could it be that the Supreme Divines throughout history never ascended by breaking the void when they left the Tiandu Continent, but were actually murdered by the alien race?"

Someone gasped, recalling the Supreme Divines of ancient times who had left the Tiandu Continent one after another, seeking a broader world, thinking their disappearance was not due to fall, but ascension from this realm.

But now, it seemed ridiculous; perhaps those ancient divine beings were all murdered.

"I refuse to believe this fact, I demand a clear explanation from the alien race!"

A fierce Martial God powerhouse charged out of the Tiandu Continent into the broader world beyond, only to be immediately annihilated by a space storm. It was impossible to leave.

However, no one wanted to stop; everyone preferred death over accepting this cruel reality and flocked to the continent’s beyond.

Heavenly Gods and Divine Spirits could no longer keep their calm. These people were destined to be important figures in an upcoming battle, crucial to protect. They stepped in to halt them.

Several Supreme Divines appeared in the boundless ocean beyond the Tiandu Continent, standing before the dangerous space storm. This was a vital natural protection against the harm of the alien race, but ironically, it also prevented them from leaving this prison realm of death.

Unless one reached the Divine Spirit Realm, passage was impossible.

With the obstruction of several powerful Divines, the mighty ones could not break into the space storm. After a long time, they were helpless to accept this sad and lamentable truth.

Sensing their bleak state of mind, similar to what they themselves had experienced, the several great Divines announced an important message to the world. In the near future, the life of being sealed and imprisoned would end because they had planned for millennia, preparing for a grand Heaven Punishing War. The battle would determine destiny against the alien race, liberating the entire Tiandu Continent, hoping the people would lend their support.

This announcement unexpectedly won the strong approval of the whole world. Countless cultivators eagerly expressed their willingness to fight.

This was a great momentum, and the several great Divines watched with joy; the invasion of the alien race powerhouses seemed to have united the strong beings of the Tiandu Continent even more.

The Trial Road ended prematurely, and all trialists returned to the endpoint of the Heroic Pass. However, Ye Chen vanished; he came to the Divine Little World within the Twelfth Pass where the Divine Arts of Ice Flame Emperor Xia from the past had all dissipated.

The moment he stepped out, a powerful aura awakened. Ye Chen smiled and entered. At this moment, Crown Prince Xia Yang rose up on the Dao Platform, his whole body emitting a powerful aura.

He had formally stepped into the Martial God Realm, becoming a young Martial God of this era, a rare sight qualified among the top of the young generation.

Of course, there was still a gap compared to those Ancient Heroes, but he was much stronger than Li Cheng and Yangg Shaoqi.

As soon as Xia Yang awakened, he saw Ye Chen, his opponent. His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, eager for a battle, and he put his desire into action.

He directly displayed the might of the Martial God Realm, attacking fiercely, resulting in a series of colossal collisions, shaking the Divine Little World.

Ye Chen laughed, his palms and fingers flowing with dazzling golden light, indestructible as diamond, directly engaging in the collision, sparking a series of noteworthy divine light sparks from the impact.

The two exchanged blows rapidly, lightning fast, clashing numerous times in the blink of an eye. Xia Yang’s techniques were bold and expansive, invoking the Heavenly Earth Power for support, displaying the true divine might of a Divine Spirit’s qualification, truly mighty, noticeably stronger than some Initial Stage Martial Gods, his aura surging mightily, piercing the sky.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, seemed plain and unadorned, having a flavor of returning to the basics, not using any Divine Arts, but was not much less than Xia Yang, at least apparently evenly matched, clashing at the pinnacle of Divine Arts.

This battle was beyond the capabilities of Thirteenth Prince, Princess Hongs Rong, and Vivian; they could only watch from afar.

Finally, after a hundred rounds, the two passed by each other and stood apart, neither victor nor vanquished. But Xia Yang recognized that Ye Chen was in fact stronger than him, handling his attacks with ease, not showing a hint of struggle, which put pressure on him.

He was continuously improving, and so was Ye Chen, and the scale of his improvement was shockingly formidable. The Ye Chen standing before him now seemed like an endless abyss, giving off an unfathomable vibe, as if one could not truly measure his depth.

"Ye Chen, you’ve arrived, what just happened in the outside world?" Princess Hongs Rong asked; they could feel the earth-shaking tremendous turbulence happening outside while they were in the Divine Little World.

"Alien Races have arrived..." Ye Chen did not hide this fact. Given the current situation, it could no longer be concealed and was bound to be known sooner or later.

Upon hearing this, the faces of those present changed drastically. Even Crown Prince Xia Yang was shocked, and they looked at each other, unable to react for a moment.

They had never imagined that the Tiandu Continent they lived on was merely a prison under surveillance and blockade by the Alien Races. Since ancient times, it had been under surveillance, and the Divine beings who had left Tiandu Continent to explore the outer realms had actually been killed by the Alien Races, not ascended through breaking the void as people imagined.

This information sent chills down their spines. How powerful could these Alien Races be?

And that was a question no one could answer.

Not even Ye Chen could know everything, but he understood one thing: the Tiandu Continent was far from being comparable to the Ten Thousand Domains, not on the same level. This war, unless there were no beings beyond Divine Spirits from the Ten Thousand Domains taking part, would inevitably end in tragedy.

Soon after, they also left the Divine Little World and rode the Demon Flood Dragon towards the Heroic Pass, for the trials on the Trial Road seemed less relevant now, with war erupting and the Heaven Punishment plan needing earlier implementation—The Battle of Heaven Punishment might erupt at any moment.

Fortunately, not all the heritage of Tiandu Continent was used this time. Some parts were still hidden; otherwise, it would have truly been a disaster.

For the Battle of Heaven Punishment, Tiandu Continent had been preparing for thousands of years. How could all the resources be used in one go? There were still more powerful inheritances not yet put to use.

When the group returned to the focal Heroic Pass, the Dao barrier that spanned between heaven and earth had already disappeared, but most people were still present, simply waiting to evacuate. Several Ancient Heroes stood within the Heroic Pass, each backed by the powerhouses of their Super forces, securing their safety with rigorous protection.

The Heavenly Gods of several Super forces and some Martial Gods were responsible for guarding the Trial World.

Though it was understood that Alien Races would not arrive again, fearing the worst was better than being unprepared. Regarding the methods of Alien Races, the powerful beings of this realm knew very little and had to be cautious.

The appearance of Ye Chen and his group naturally drew significant attention, especially Ye Chen, who had been the focus not just because of previous targeting by several Super forces and joint petitions from various forces of Tiandu Continent but also because of his voluntary request to be taken through the Space Channel by Hongtian Great Saint, which had become a focal issue.

Many were puzzled and curious about why Ye Chen went there and what had happened. It was all a mystery!

Initially, when the Old Mansion Master left without seeing Ye Chen, everyone thought he overestimated himself and perished forcefully trying to pass through, but now he appeared unharmed, naturally causing much shock and speculation.

What exactly had happened to Ye Chen in that place, and why could he return unscathed? This question gave much to ponder.

However, the Dao Blood he possessed was still the focus of everyone. Dao Blood was crucial, not to be taken lightly, possibly being the hope and key for all Ancient Heroes to transcend Divine Spirits in this lifetime.

"Ye Chen, hand over all the Dao Blood on you; we won’t make it difficult for you."

"Just hand over the Dao Blood, and we can oversee and not pursue everything that happened before."

"Indeed, after all, you are one of the unparalleled Heavenly Prides of this realm, with endless potential and a long path ahead. There’s no need to oppose us over Dao Blood, which would only bring unnecessary trouble."

The several Heavenly Gods released their divine pressure, and once the external battle ceased, they immediately focused on acquiring the Dao Blood, coercing and tempting Ye Chen to hand it over.

At the same moment, the Four Great Ancient Heroes were also determined, considering the Dao Blood crucial for surpassing Divine Spirits in their lifetimes, paying extreme attention to it.

"What if I say no?" Ye Chen faced the several Heavenly Gods fearlessly. Even without the Dao barrier, he remained unafraid, causing many to frown—what gave him such confidence?

Wrapped in streams of Golden Dragon Energy, the Heavenly God of the Soaring Dragon Empire approached thunderously, "If you’re unwilling, don’t blame us for being ruthless. We will capture and seize it from you. Why put yourself through unnecessary pain?"

"You also understand that once we act, it’s hard to control our power. If we accidentally make you lose a limb or injure your Primordial Spirit, leaving a Dao injury that damages your Dao Foundation irreparably, why endure such pain?" The Heavenly God of Tianqi Empire said with a smile, the slight curve of his mouth icy and merciless.

They of the Tianqi Empire had long-standing irreconcilable grievances with Ye Chen. Despite his immense potential destined to become an unparalleled being, they were concerned and felt it necessary to act, leaving him a lifelong impairing Dao injury if they couldn’t defeat him, preventing him from fully growing and becoming a major threat to Tianqi Empire.

The Heavenly Gods of the Martial God Temple and Jiuhua Empire also approached, subtly forming an encirclement with the other two Heavenly Gods, blocking Ye Chen’s escape routes and capturing him like a rat in a trap.

Ye Chen looked at all this indifferently, showing no change in expression, but suddenly revealed an Identity Token in his hand and displayed it, asking, "I wonder if you still remember what this is?"

"Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order!"

The faces of the Heavenly Gods turned pale with shock, no longer able to maintain their composure!
