Chapter 335: Chapter 297 Ye Chen, a Traitor? (13th Update)

"Fine, I agree!"

Ye Chen consented, and his entire being rushed toward the Exotic Realm camp.

This scene was so unexpected, such a figure, who represented the future leadership of the Tiandu Continent, had actually been successfully won over to the side of the Exotic Realm; everyone was dumbstruck, especially those from the Tiandu Continent. Beyond the shock, there was immense anger.

Because this was the pride of all the people of the Tiandu Continent and their hope for the future, in whom they had placed so many great expectations. But at this moment, this pride had betrayed them all and run to the Exotic Realm camp, making them feel as if they had been viciously stabbed in the heart, unable to accept it.

"Ah! Ye Chen you cowardly traitor, I will kill you!"

Someone from the Tiandu Continent side was desperately shouting; it was none other than Yang Wushuang from the Five Great Ancient Heroes. He couldn’t accept this reality and charged over alone, unleashing the most powerful Divine Art, causing the young powerhouses of the Exotic Realm to turn pale, a move that could definitely threaten those in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

He was indeed a Sealing Marquis Level young Heavenly Pride, an extraordinary personality in this caged world.

Yet Ye Chen simply swept his sleeve, as if he had brushed out an invisible Divine Mountain that smashed toward Yang Wushuang. Struck as if by lightning, Yang Wushuang was sent flying backward, coughing up blood profusely, completely unable to withstand a single blow, which left both sides utterly shaken.

This was the absolute strength of a king, even personages at the Sealing Marquis Level were so easily defeated.

Ye Chen wanted to strike again, but at this moment, it was too late for Long Guao and others to rescue. A large hand reached out, grabbed Yang Wushuang, and slapped toward Ye Chen, unleashing a terrifying Divine Power capable of obliterating, seeking to kill Ye Chen, the traitor.

However, the Ancient Sun Half-Saint intervened, seeing that the other party was truly harboring intent to kill, and Ye Chen had completely aligned himself with the Exotic Realm, which pleased him greatly, and he wouldn’t allow his man to be harmed.

"Exotic Realm old man, you’ve crossed the line, I was disciplining the traitor of my realm, why did you intervene?" Huatian Venerable’s face darkened as he coldly shouted.

The Ancient Sun Half-Saint chuckled, "You’ve gone too far, now this young friend has become a citizen of my realm, I naturally have the responsibility to ensure his safety."

With an easy gesture, Ye Chen was entirely pulled into the camp of the Exotic Realm’s younger generation.

"Good, very good, young man, your name is Ye Chen, right? Such a king-like figure, even within my domain, is truly a Heavenly Pride figure. Once we conquer this realm, I will arrange for you to meet a peerless king. Naturally, with your divine talent, as long as nothing goes wrong, it’s only natural that you receive teachings from that peerless king."

The Ancient Sun Half-Saint was clearly very pleased, a king-level seedling, if grown, would definitely be an extraordinary being, absolutely welcome in the Exotic Realm.

And he also considered himself a mentor, having recruited him was like giving him a huge favor. If this young king prospered in the future, becoming a Heroic Master, it would also benefit him.

Ye Chen showed a pleased expression and bowed, "Thank you, senior."

"Ye Chen, by betraying the Tiandu Continent and joining the Exotic Realm, can you really justify this to your conscience?"

Someone from the Tiandu Continent side couldn’t help but bitterly shout; such a character who was originally the pride of their Tiandu Continent had betrayed them, causing them immense disappointment and more so, a heart-wrenching pain.

Betrayal is what they hated most.

Ye Chen turned to face those who, not long ago, had fought shoulder to shoulder with him; now, however, they stood on opposing sides.

His face was expressionless as he responded, "A wise man submits to circumstances. The Tiandu Continent is doomed to destruction, and the Exotic Realm will occupy this land. Why should I seek death? Rather than struggling in vain, rather than fighting, it’s better to join the Exotic Realm. They come from the Heavenly and Myriad of Realms and possess a foundation that can make me powerful, a hope to survive, which the Tiandu Continent cannot give."

"You—" An enforcer of the Tiandu Continent cursed furiously, "You are an animal, nothing but a traitor, not even human."

Everyone was enraged, Ye Chen was utterly detestable for having willingly defected just to survive; was he even human?

"Ye Chen, how could you betray us like this when the Tiandu Continent had such high expectations of you, when the King’s Ancient Road has reached its end, when the Divine Ancestors had placed such great hope in you? Why, can you really justify this to your conscience?"

"You are simply an animal, unforgivable!"

"How could we, who trusted you so much, saw you as a close friend, be so disappointed by your actions? Can you honestly ask yourself if you will survive without regret, is your Dao Heart really flawless?"

All the strong ones of the Tiandu Continent were screaming in rage, several even wanting to rush forward to kill Ye Chen; their eyes bloodshot, among them were several Ancient Heroes.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

But Huatian Venerable stopped them one by one, shaking his head and saying, "Don’t rush up, it’s useless."

"Huatian Venerable, why are you stopping us? We are about to kill this ungrateful wretch for betraying us like this!" Many Heavenly God powerhouses were already itching to act, their killing intent soaring.

If glares could kill, Ye Chen would have been killed thousands of times over.

But Huatian Venerable kept shaking his head, saying, "It’s not worth it, don’t sacrifice yourselves needlessly."

The Ancient Sun Half-Saint chuckled, "You can only blame your domains for not having enough resources to fully cultivate a king. Just as young friend Ye Chen said, a wise man submits to circumstances. Your domains are doomed to fall sooner or later; why should such an outstanding kingly seed seek his own demise?"

"Only within my domain can one become a disciple of a peerless king; only with his guidance and teachings will there be a brighter, more glorious future. Young friend Ye Chen is right about this point; it’s only the thoughts of your imprisoned citizens that are obsolete."

Ye Chen’s expression was impassive as he entered the camp of the younger generation from the Exotic Realm, standing shoulder to shoulder with the young powerhouses of the Exotic Realm.

Despite the young Heavenly Prides of the Exotic Realm not liking this fence-sitter, the powerful and terrifying king-like aura emanating from him was frightening, pushing many of his peers back and making them feel immense pressure.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Chen turned his head and looked back; he saw a unique young figure in the rear. Unlike many others from the Exotic young generation, no one was near him; everyone steered clear of him, as if in fear, not daring to approach.

This person was tall and stalwart, clad in Platinum Armor, wielding a Platinum Spear, and appeared even more heroic and majestic than the other young powerhouses; an invisible, terrifying pressure emanated from him, demanding submission from others.

Ye Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed with a serious expression; he sensed a threat coming from this man.

The mysterious man also looked towards Ye Chen, his expression unchanging, even frowning, but their eyes met without the slightest retreat.

"This is Xia Shuangwang Your Highness. Don’t you see? Hurry and bow to him. What are you staring at?" A youngster from the Exotic Realm reprimanded Ye Chen.

Xia Shuangwang, indeed there was another hidden young king within the Exotic camp, who had never made a move before, which made him somewhat apprehensive.

However, a slap struck his face, sending him flying, his face bloodied, as Ye Chen coldly swept him a glance: "What are you that you dare to yell at me?"

The young man’s half face was shattered, but what hurt more than the physical injury was his heart, being slapped in front of so many people was the most painful.

"You—" The young man covered his face and glared, but Ye Chen slapped him again, sending him flying, and breaking countless bones, severely injured.

Ye Chen had held back, or else a single slap would have killed him.

"Boy, you have a nerve. This is our camp, and you are just a newly arrived traitorous brat, yet you dare to strike." Another young man from the Exotic camp yelled, but Ye Chen similarly swept a slap across, sending him flying and blood spurting as he coldly said, "Why wouldn’t I dare, I am a king."

After a moment of shock, the other powerhouses did not get angry because Ye Chen was indeed a king, just like that.

The dignity of a king is inviolable, and no one can desecrate it. Contrarily, the Ancient Sun Half-Saint nodded affirmatively, declaring majestically, "Alright, since Ye Chen has joined our camp, from now on he is our young king, and none of you may reprimand him. Show proper respect."

With the Ancient Sun Half-Saint speaking, no one dared to provoke any further, but the side of the Tiandu Continent became even more enraged due to Ye Chen’s betrayal.

Suddenly, Ye Chen raised his hand and looked at the Ancient Sun Half-Saint, saying, "Senior, may I ask a question? I want to kill some young Heavenly Prides; is that alright?"

The Ancient Sun Half-Saint glanced over at several Ancient Heroes from the Tiandu Continent, nodding and saying, "Go ahead and kill if you want; we won’t stop you."

"Senior, thank you. I’ll make my move now," Ye Chen said, and suddenly, patches of golden Dao Traces interwove and spread beneath him, enveloping all the young generation from the Exotic Realm.

This scene unexpectedly caused a wave of unease to spread within the Ancient Sun Half-Saint, who couldn’t help but say, "Young friend Ye Chen, what are you doing?"

Ye Chen suddenly laughed, a brilliant smile crossing his face, saying, "Didn’t I tell you that I wanted to kill all of the young generation?"

Boom—

Golden light erupted, and Ye Chen swiftly released a barrage of Supreme Divine Skills like the Dao Treasure Vase, Mountain Embrace Seal, and Sun Seal. His King-level extraordinary attack power combined with the golden light to sweep across violently.

Many of the young Heavenly Prides of the Exotic Realm hadn’t even reacted before they were engulfed by waves of golden light and struck by the Light of Destruction, exploding into pieces, their lives and Dao completely obliterated.
