Chapter 334: Chapter 296: I’m Willing (12th Update)

Marquis Zihua was decapitated, torn asunder by Ye Chen with brutal force, his neck spewing a torrential column of blood skyward, which scattered across heaven and earth.

The Primordial Spirit within was pierced straight through the brow by a beam of Divine Light, obliterated utterly.

There, in the Exotic Realm, a young Marquis of great renown—Marquis Zihua—had been slain, yet the sheer shock of this event paled in comparison to the revelation that Ye Chen himself admitted to being a young sovereign, causing much greater astonishment.

What is a sovereign? He is the absolute monarch of his generation, excelling in every aspect and possessing unrivalled power, capable of defeating foes beyond his own realm. He holds potential like no other—Heavenly Pride, a sovereign of his era.

Such a figure is not just rare within a special world or Plane World; even among the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, where Great Domains stretch billions of miles, hosting countless races and beyond count living beings, it often takes several Great Domains together to produce a single young sovereign.

This is the meaning of a sovereign. Rarer than rare, one in ten million, truly the Supreme Powerhouses of their youthful generation.

Even in the Exotic Realm, teeming with formidable beings and masters, there are but a few young ones of this generation, only one or two at most, because they are exceedingly difficult to come by.

Now, within the confined world of a prison, the birth of a sovereign seemed preposterous, laughable even, especially in a world where the Dao is incomplete like a prison realm.

But the mysterious young man before them was a living example of such impossibility, his might making a figure as formidable as Marquis Zihua seem utterly defenseless, easily grasped and torn apart like a chick.

Suddenly, among the powerhouses who had descended from the Exotic Realm, a tremendous intent to kill erupted; a sovereign of such caliber represented the most terrifying of beings. If left to mature, without early demise, they could certainly ascend to become a peerless master of their age.

Not as an enemy, but as a truly horrifying foe if opposed.

They must not be allowed to continue to develop; a grown sovereign seeking vengeance is nothing short of a nightmare!

A horrific intent to kill boiled over among the Exotic Realm’s mighty, sweeping across the sky, their assaults directed at Ye Chen.

"You all wish to kill me this badly?"

Ye Chen laughed coldly, utterly fearless. Behind him, the many powerhouses of Tiandu Continent took their stand, similarly displaying boundless and overpowering auras, canceling out the assault of the other side.

Everyone could see Ye Chen’s importance; he was an exceptionally precious sovereign Seed Level being, indispensable.

"You’re strong, and that’s good, indeed worthy of being a Seed Level sovereign, but without the backing of a powerful force, you should have lain low and only emerged when you were strong enough. It’s just a pity that your pride as a sovereign, which you consider your strength, is now your most foolish act, revealing yourself this way. Do you think we would let you grow to your full potential?"

An old man with white hair cascading over his shoulders spoke coldly from the ranks of the Exotic Realm’s army. He stepped forward decisively, and a limitless pressure exploded from his being, enveloping the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, causing alarm to all.

Half-step God!

Here stood a supreme being with one foot in the Divine Spirit Realm, half his being stepping into that domain, thus possessing traces of Divine Ancient Power, and therefore much stronger than a peak powerhouse transformed in the Ninth Layer Heaven, undeniably terror incarnate.

Within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, such figures are also known as Semi-Saints.

Now, a Semi-Saint had crossed boundaries to arrive here; they are half-immersed in the Divine Spirit Sacred Realm, not wholly of that rank, and thus the Origin of the world did not obstruct them, allowing them passage with ease.

"You’ve been foolish," someone said. "Though you are a young king, your pride and arrogance blind you. You failed to keep a low profile and revealed yourself too early. We even had to request the Ancient Sun Half-Saint to make a move and kill this insignificant creature from the prison world."

The strong among the younger generation were no longer in a state of panic, but instead, they sneered coldly. When a Half-Saint took action, especially when the Holy Realm Gods were busy waging war and couldn’t spare any attention, he was the strongest.

This was something that an Exotic Realm invested a great price to send over, an unmatched force.

"Ye Chen, you must be careful. This is a Half-Saint powerhouse, who is only half a step away from the true domain of the Saintly Treasure Realm," several ancient hero friends advised him.

Ye Chen nodded, but how could he be afraid? Merely a Half-Saint was not enough to truly frighten him.

Boom—

An enormous hand blocked out the sun, as the Ancient Sun Half-Saint made his move. The Half-Saint Divine Power erupted, forsaking all others he was most powerful, and his Divine Power caused the heavens and the earth to change color, with dark whirlwinds rising and shaking the world incessantly.

However, it was clear that the Tiandu Continent side also did not lack such exceptional masters. Another Half-Saint struck out, blocking the Ancient Sun Half-Saint’s attack.

"The Huatian Venerable has arrived!"

The strong ones from the Tiandu Continent cried out in surprise, another white-haired old immortal, also standing firmly in the Half-Saint Domain, not in the least bit weaker than the Exotic Realm’s Ancient Sun Half-Saint, as they confronted each other.

"People of the Exotic Realm, go back to wherever you came from," Huatian Venerable snorted coldly.

The Ancient Sun Half-Saint chuckled and said, "It turns out there are such experts even in the prison world. I’ve indeed been short-sighted."

Then he turned to Ye Chen, saying, "Young man, you have good talent, as a king of one realm. If you choose to join our side, you can shed the identity of a prisoner of the prison world, and even become the disciple of a peerless king. What do you think?"

The Ancient Sun Half-Saint didn’t attack; at this moment, he suddenly changed his tone, persuading Ye Chen to join the ranks of the Exotic Realm, extending an olive branch which left both sides in shock.

Especially for the younger generation from the Exotic Realm, they were extremely astonished.

The peerless king mentioned by the Ancient Sun Half-Saint was not a young king from the newly emerged generation, but rather a figure from the past generation of kings who had stepped on the path of the Human Emperor for many years, much older than them, with deep accomplishments, and had long since become a peerless individual of the Saintly Treasure Realm, like the War King, Peacock King, and such.

How could anyone imagine that not only did the Ancient Sun Half-Saint have no intention of killing Ye Chen, but he also wanted to recruit him to become a member of the Exotic Realm’s forces, and even more, to become the disciple of a peerless king, to receive his teaching.

"Senior, this must not be so, for he is merely a sinner of the prison world; it must not be done!"

"The senior should kill this child, not bring a wolf into the house!"

Many from the younger generation of the Exotic Realm shouted out, unable to accept such a reality.

The strong ones from the Tiandu Continent side were quite astonished. Was this an attempt at recruiting?

However, the real protagonist was Ye Chen, and all the strong ones from the Tiandu Continent sneered, for they didn’t believe Ye Chen would go over.

But contrary to everyone’s expectations, Ye Chen actually rushed forward, saying, "Good, I am willing!"
