Chapter 259: Chapter 232: Finally at the Destination!

This was a powerful Martial God of the Fifth Layer Heaven, quite formidable, although not as much as a Super Martial God, yet still able to dominate within the Martial God Realm.

However, under the Heavenly Divine Spear, nothing could stop it, his body was brutally pierced through by the spear, pinned to the distant mountain cliffs, unable to move an inch.

The unparalleled killing intent Ye Chen imbued in the Heavenly Divine Spear burst forth—it was Ye Chen’s killing intent, derived not solely from this life, but also from a preexistence that was matchless throughout the ages, completely annihilating this person’s every will to live, obliterating both form and spirit, such that he perished violently, his Primordial Spirit unable to escape.

Even as the Martial God of the Fifth Layer Heaven lay dying, he could not close his eyes. He stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, seemingly still questioning how Ye Chen had known of his invisible presence in the void, as he had relied on a specially given Magic Artifact, lying in ambush within the void, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a lethal blow.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten that Ye Chen’s accomplishments in the Void Dao were higher even than the Ancient Hero Li Taixu of the Jiuhua Empire; otherwise, he might not have dared to hide in the void.

After nailing this Martial God with a single spear, Ye Chen obtained a Token that emanated fluctuations of the Void Power. It seemed that within the Tianqi Empire there were also strong individuals who mastered the Void Dao, and they were from the Heavenly Divine Realm no less. Yet, unfortunately, their understanding of the Dao still fell short compared to Li Taixu, let alone hiding from Ye Chen, which was simply impossible.

"A mere Martial God of the Fifth Layer Heaven trying to assassinate me, even a Super Martial God wouldn’t succeed. What a waste of a Void Token on this person."

With a dragon’s roar that resounded through the nine realms, the Demon Flood Dragon arrived, and Ye Chen mounted it, not even looking back as he strode off towards the horizon, disappearing from everyone’s sight, leaving only a crowd of mighty onlookers staring reverently at his retreating figure.

He did not bring along any Heavenly God Dao Soldiers, for they were all marked with the imprints of a Heavenly God, bestowed temporarily for a single battle and could be summoned back at will. The current Ye Chen simply couldn’t suppress these Heavenly God Dao Soldiers, leaving them at liberty upon the earth.

"The name of the Young Great Demon King is well-deserved. The Tianqi Empire might have provoked a once-in-an-age Great Demon King!"

Someone sighed with emotion. Even though the other party was the Tianqi Empire, a Super force that respectively held supreme power across Tiandu Continent for an age, the world shook its head. For anyone could see the terrifying potential Ye Chen had displayed.

Now capable of slaying Peak Martial Gods, given enough time, wouldn’t he be able to slay true Heavenly Gods one day?

Just the thought alone was staggering—Ye Chen was too terrifying.

One battle brought shock to the world!

This battle quickly spread throughout the land; without doubt, overnight, it caused an uproar across the entire Tiandu Continent, alarming countless people, even many of the older generation powerhouses who were in seclusion had to emerge upon hearing this news.

For the battle achievements were too splendid, simply beyond description.

Ye Chen’s combat power was overwhelming; the assassination squad sent by the great Tianqi Empire was incredibly powerful and terrifying—a total of thirty-six Martial Gods, five Super Martial Gods, and even a Peak Martial God were deployed.

Such a lineup was not only comparable to the 108 Countries even without a Heavenly God, but was indisputably stronger.

Only Super forces could deploy such a fearsome ensemble to hunt him down, which was almost enough to sweep through a first-class power. When Heavenly Gods of the 108 Countries did not intervene, there were hardly any superior national forces that could resist.

And in this world, no one believed that a member of the younger generation could withstand such a terrifying pursuit. Not even the Crownless King among the young generation, nor the most astonishing Ancient Heroes, could manage it.

The gap was too vast, a single Peak Martial God arriving was enough to suppress all foes.

However, Ye Chen exhibited to everyone a scene that defied all expectations, living up to the name of the Young Great Demon King in every sense.

He was merely a youth, and many only then realized he was just over seventeen years old—a mere teenager, lacking even twenty years of age by two or three years, but he had not fallen to their pursuit. On the contrary, he fought and vanquished all of his pursuers, a tale that caused tremors throughout the Tiandu Continent.

What kind of prodigy was this?

For the first time, all forces shuddered at the thought of this youth, who on his own posed a threat to first-class powers.

Naturally, to overthrow a first-class power was still somewhat difficult; each carried Heavenly God powerhouses at their helm. No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, differing by a Great Realm was like a Heavenly Barrier, insurmountable.

The entire world was thoroughly shaken, and there was not a soul who did not feel awed by Ye Chen’s might, especially the upper echelons of the Tianqi Empire, who were struck dumb with disbelief.

They had sent out so many strong individuals, yet all were slain by a single person, without exception.

A rough count showed that Tianqi Empire lost over fifty Martial Gods to Ye Chen, with seven or eight commanders of the Super Martial Gods’ Forbidden Army perishing, not to mention a single Peak Martial God—a testament to the profound strength of a Super force, the number of strong individuals far exceeding nearly double as many as any of the 108 Countries.

But what was more astonishing was Ye Chen’s own strength; a single person had slain so many powerful adversaries. Among the younger generation, it was an achievement so glorious no Ancient Hero had ever achieved such a feat.

But what followed was an overwhelming fury, because Prince Shi Jian was not an ordinary Martial God warrior; he was a Peak Martial God, and even more, a crucial member of the Royal Family, the beloved brother of the current Emperor and wielded immense potential to become a Heavenly God. One day, he would undoubtedly become a powerful Heavenly God within the Empire, an invaluable foundation of it.

But now he had been killed.

Moreover, the words Ye Chen sent to be spread throughout the land, was this a declaration of open war against the Tianqi Empire?

Everyone in the world had to admire Ye Chen’s courage.

Naturally, these words reached the royal palace of the Tianqi Empire, where behind the fury, there was a greater sense of apprehension because Ye Chen had now gained significant influence, not the same as the old days. He could slay even a Peak Martial God; what else could he not do? Unless a Heavenly God intervened, no one in the world could oppose him.

And once Ye Chen reached his Great Success and became a Supreme Divine Expert,

Just the thought of it was enough to send shivers down the spine of the Tianqi Empire’s higher-ups. Such a person, if not stopped, would grow into a truly terrifying entity, potentially becoming an unrivaled Supreme Divine.

If that came true, then the Tianqi Empire would truly have provoked the most fearsome enemy of their future.

Immediately, the higher echelons of the Empire’s Royal Family, filled with apprehension, wanted to dispatch real Heavenly God warriors to strike, not willing to let Ye Chen grow any further, fearing his retribution if he ever returned in triumph after achieving his full potential.

But the Emperor emerged from seclusion; he had been in closed-door cultivation temporarily, unaware of any external events, including the pursuit of Ye Chen. Upon leaving his seclusion, instead of ordering troops to pursue Ye Chen, he questioned those in the Royal Family who had. Why had they pursued Ye Chen?

The current Emperor was filled with righteousness, questioning these officials. Ye Chen dead was still dead; facing the most horrific Heaven Punishment Battle of all eternity, they needed real Super Experts, especially those in the Divine Spirit Realm—the Supreme Powerhouses—were indispensable.

With Ye Chen revealing ever stronger fighting potential and greater potential, as long as he did not fall, he would surely become another unrivaled Divine being, contributing significantly to the Heaven Punishment Battle. How could they harm him over mere Dao Blood?

Further, from what he showed, Ye Chen’s potential might not be less than that of Ancient Heroes, perhaps even higher. The Heaven Punishment Battle required such Super Experts; they should not be harmed in any way.

The Emperor on the spot stopped any Heavenly Gods from striking and punished many, even stripping some of power and relegating them to borderline punishment.

Had it not been for an old ancestor stepping in at the last moment, persuading the Emperor and taking all the blame on himself, the consequences might have been even more severe.

This incident naturally caused an uproar worldwide. It was surprising that the Emperor, after emerging from seclusion, not only did not pursue Ye Chen but also instructed others to refrain from action—a truly righteous act that was admirable.

Yet some with ulterior motives speculated—is that really all there is to it? Or does the Tianqi Empire genuinely fear Ye Chen?

This also served as a warning to other Super forces: Ye Chen was not to be provoked unless one was really prepared to sever ties and make a move.

And from that day on, the Young Great Demon King Ye Chen’s trace was no longer found within the bounds of the Tianqi Empire.

He seemed to have completely vanished from the territory of the Tianqi Empire, and even though people searched for him afterward, they never truly found him.

Three days later, someone spotted Ye Chen in the Three Great Empires’ tri-junction area, known as the neutral zone, and from then on, the Young Great Demon King Ye Chen completely left the territory of the Tianqi Empire.

Upon learning this news, although the Tianqi Empire had not actually sent troops to pursue him, and other Super forces had made no overt moves against Ye Chen, one day a terrible battle broke out in the neutral zone, a fierce fight unfolding in the famous Sunrise Mountain Range.

Someone coveted the Dao Blood, pursuing Ye Chen.

In that battle, actual Heavenly God warriors attempted to block Ye Chen’s path, uncertain of who they were. Some speculated they were Heavenly Gods of the Tianqi Empire, while others thought they came from other Super forces, and some believed they were venerable Old Immortals desperate for a breakthrough, choosing to come forward recklessly to chase down Ye Chen in hopes of obtaining the true Dao Blood.

Numerous rumors abounded, but all pointed to the same goal: the Dao Blood.

Yet that day, Ye Chen brushed off his garments and left, for he seemed to know that a Heavenly God would seek to kill him and did not appear on that path, leaving the Heavenly God empty-handed.

Five days later, Ye Chen, riding a Demon Flood Dragon, entered a vast area at the border junction of the Three Great Empires.

This place was the neutral zone, but in truth, it was a crucial territory governed by the Tiandu Academy, a Cultivation Holy Land of the world.

Ye Chen stood tall in the sky, and though a great distance separated them, he could faintly see that magnificent giant city standing at the end of the earth. From afar, it appeared like an Ancient True Dragon coiled and dormant, its enormous presence intimidating all potential enemies.
