Chapter 427: Chapter 380: Deterrence!

Having decisively slain the Five Great Saints, Ye Chen’s terrifying aura began to retract slowly, until it completely disappeared, leaving only the natural aura of a True King to ripple through heaven and earth.

Yet the five Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers still submitted in front of Ye Chen, for they had long been suppressed by him. Even though that formidable power had disappeared, the invincibility that had once been imprinted deeply within the Divine Land was indelible.

Moreover, they sensed a profound and terrifying Qi Mechanism lying dormant within Ye Chen, which prevented them from daring to resist.

Ye Chen glanced at the five Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers, and then with a shake of the Holy Weapon, clusters of resplendent Divine Blood appeared, each only the size of a fist. Yet they contained Saint-level principles and Principle Fragments, brimming with immense energy, as deep as an abyss.

This was the Supreme strength of Saints, all condensed within this cluster of Holy Blood, which was the very Saint Blood Essence.

Along with it, the five Saint Marks were also stripped out, forming human silhouettes sitting cross-legged in the void, intertwining Dao and Principles, containing the Saints’ lifetimes of cultivation insights—immeasurably precious and now held in Ye Chen’s hands.

The 300 Barbaric War Riders sighed in their hearts. These were the essences of the Five Great Saints, all now obtained by Ye Chen, whose might inspired reverence.

"Mengg Wan, Mengg Shan, Mengg Xia!" Ye Chen suddenly spoke.

The three Great Commanders immediately strode forward, standing as straight as javelins before Ye Chen, showing great respect and also faintly guessing what was coming, their hearts throbbing with indescribable excitement.

Ye Chen flicked his fingers, sending three clusters of Saint Blood Essence and Saint Marks towards them, and said, "Refine the Holy Blood and Marks for yourselves to improve your Cultivation. Reaching the Saintly Treasure Realm may be difficult, but it should be enough to elevate you to Semi-Saints."

"Your Highness, this must not be done!"

Even though they were moved, they deeply understood the preciousness of the Saint Blood Essence and the Saint Marks, treasures beyond value.

The Essence Blood contained the Divine Power essence and Principle Fragments of a Saint, and the Saint Marks held a Saint’s lifetime of Cultivation insights—how invaluable, enough to make even young kings jealous.

Even within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, Saints were truly considered Super Experts, capable of overlooking a domain, ruling the world.

While it might seem relatively easier to break through compared to special worlds and Plane Worlds, that easiness was only relative; indeed, breaking through remained difficult, and throughout history, there had been plenty of geniuses who never took that step.

In the Immortal Sacred Lands, which had inherited countless ages, the number of Saints was still exceedingly small. Without a doubt, they were truly influential figures, ranked as Supreme Elders.

Therefore, Saint Blood Essence and Marks were treasures beyond measure. To give them away like this, even the three Great Commanders dared not accept such grand gifts.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, "You three have protected me at the sacrifice of your own lives along the way. Just for this, you are deserving enough. Refine them at ease, without any burden. For me, these Saint Blood Essences are insignificant."

"Insignificant," among the new generation of Heavenly Prides, perhaps only Ye Chen could speak such words.

Upon further thought, it was indeed so; Ye Chen’s Daoist Realm was far too advanced, stronger than even a Saint Lord. The so-called Saint Marks were of no use to him.

And the Saint Blood Essence?

He had the more powerful Heavenly King-level Dao Blood, and the extremely precious Void Dao Divine Blood, which he valued even less.

"This..." The three Warhorse Commanders were ultimately hesitant, but then Wang Ming spoke, "Accept them. Don’t hesitate. That’s just how he is. Indeed, to him the Saint Blood Essences are insignificant; he has better ones."

With Sovereign Wang Ming speaking up, the three Barbaric Warhorse Commanders naturally accepted with great gratitude and were all the more thankful to Ye Chen.

Then, Ye Chen also gave two clusters of Saint Blood Essence to the 300 Barbaric War Riders and took out more than a dozen clusters of Essence Blood refined from killing Wilderness Beasts during battle, declaring that it could temper the War Body and make the Cultivation stronger.

The two Saint Marks, however, he kept for himself, as aside from the three commanders, the rest of the 300 Barbaric War Riders had not yet reached that level of Cultivation and would only do themselves harm by rashly contemplating them.

As for the Saint Blood Essence and the Marks, the three commanders chose not to refine them right away. They were currently on the Domain Battlefield, fraught with dangers. Previously, they had even encountered the assault of five Saints with Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers—a threat they could not take lightly.

All of these measures were to ensure Ye Chen’s safe escort to a secure location before they could refine them to improve their Cultivation.

Moreover, Ye Chen had this time used Elder Yan’s power, which also caused considerable damage to him. After all, he was just a Residual Soul Body, not a physical form, and the power he used was mainly Origin Power.

Wang Ming’s Battle Mark had completely dissipated, the power consumption was too severe, and he was left without the strength for another fight. After all, it was only a Battle Mark, not the main body.

However, perhaps after this battle, with the Five Great Saints being slain, nobody would target Ye Chen anymore unless Saint Lord Level Characters took action personally.

Just as suspected, after a battle within the Domain Battlefield, an unknown person spread the news that Saints from the Five Immortal Sanctuaries had shown up, entering deep into the Domain Battlefield, intending to capture Ye Chen and study the secrets of becoming a True King. However, they were thoroughly annihilated, not one was spared.

Even the Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers they wielded were seized, resulting in devastating losses that stirred up an unprecedentedly huge uproar, a fact known to all as the doing of the Immortal Sacred Lands that commanded the Five Great Domains.

And the Five Immortal Sanctuaries were likewise enraged—the fall of their Saints and the capture of their Saint Lord’s Daoist Soldiers. Had it not been for the covert rules of the Domain Battlefield, the current Saint Lords of the several Immortal Sanctuaries would have nearly taken action themselves.

Naturally, all of this was carried out by Ye Chen, unknown to anyone; the information of the battle could not be transmitted externally, or else the waves it would cause would be even greater.

And on this day, the upper echelon of the Green Sun Domain’s faction was furious. The audacity of the Five Great Domains to dispatch Saints, wielding Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers no less, was a serious violation of their bottom line, seeking to harm their newly born Immortal True King.

Had it not been for the peerless Super Expert protecting Ye Chen, this time would have been perilous.

The Green Sun Domain’s side mobilized their terrifying army, with numerous top-tier powerhouses including Wang Shan successively entering the Domain Battlefield to escort Ye Chen back to the camp.

On the same day, a figure of terrifying stature arrived in the Black Sky Plain, striking awe in all directions and arriving at the Green Sun Domain’s camp, causing an outcry from everyone. It was none other than Wang Ming, the Fourth Great Robber of the Black Sky Eight Bandits, who had personally entered the Domain Battlefield.

Harnessing the Qi Mechanism of the Black Sky Order, Wang Ming’s physical body tore through the void and coalesced into a blazing light, rapidly tracking down Ye Chen and reuniting with him.

Concurrently, several fearsome silhouettes materialized in the world, causing mountains and rivers to quake with their shocking Qi Mechanism—each a genuine Saint Lord Level being. Even the Three Hundred Barbaric War Riders turned pale at this sight.

Their target was Ye Chen—for vengeance, but more so to seize the True King’s Secret.

As for the previous slaying of the Five Great Saints, they were not aware of the reasons, but this time they came fully prepared, personally taking action. As Saint Lords, their might was naturally far greater than that of Saint Lord Level Daoist Soldiers.

However, the Three Hundred Barbaric War Riders were closely escorting Ye Chen, enveloping him with protection, and solidifying the Battle Formation.

Wang Ming had arrived, wielding the Wolf Fang Club, his wild aura unleashed and breaking through swathes of blood-colored mountains and rivers, confronting several Saint Lord Level beings. The atmosphere was incredibly tense, on the brink of a horrifying and unprecedented Saint Lord Level great battle.

Ye Chen was ready to once again borrow Elder Yan’s strength, for such a great battle could not be fought without the power of a Saint Lord.

"You should be aware of who I am, not merely one of the Black Sky Eight Bandits. I am also acquainted with past generation Invincible Kings like the War King, Peacock King, Taisu King, Liuu Mingwang, King of Bright, Sunrise King, and familiar with Supreme Sacred Lands such as Taichu Sacred Land, Yaochi Heavenly Court, and the Ten Thousand Realm Palace; and mindful of the Heavenly Gate. Do you still wish for a battle?" Wang Ming said only these words, and the Saint Lord Level beings who were covertly ready to strike harrumphed and departed one after another.

For they still feared the Black Sky Eight Bandits—an exceedingly dangerous force that even the Immortal Sacred Lands did not want to provoke too much. Although their foundation might be comparatively lacking, without unleashing the full depth of their power, the Immortal Sacred Lands simply could not obliterate Black Sky Plain.

Furthermore, it was virtually known among all the great Immortal Sacred Lands, Black Sky Eight Bandits’ Wang Ming might not be the strongest amongst them, but his background was undoubtedly the most terrifying. It was rumored that he had close connections with several Supreme Sacred Lands overseen by Supreme Great Powers, and that several past generations’ Invincible Kings were his comrades.

Even the emerging and immensely powerful super force, Heavenly Gate, had innumerable ties with Wang Ming.

Speaking of relationships alone, merely the Heavenly Gate could cause all the great Immortal Sacred Lands, and even the Supreme Sacred Lands, to be extremely wary, for the strength of the Heavenly Gate Master, the peerless being who had personally slain Heavenly King Invincibles—not just one, but many.

Appearing abruptly forty years ago and shocking the world with his profound cultivation and unfathomable might, he hailed from the Lower Realm, causing even Supreme Beings to feel anxious, never acting against him.

"Heavenly Gate?" Ye Chen’s eyes flashed as he looked towards Wang Ming.

Wang Ming smiled, "Heavenly Gate is good, the Sect Leader is even better."

Ye Chen responded with an understanding smile.

Eventually, Wang Ming led Ye Chen safely back.

Upon their return at that instant, many in the camp turned watchful eyes upon them, with the younger generation more so filled with a sense of reverence.

Because Immortal True King—these four words signified everything.

Many on the Floating Divine Island had changed their views, their gazes toward Ye Chen filled with subtlety, and they began to speculate about Ye Chen’s true identity in whispers.

If he were an Immortal True King, then a terrifying power belonging to him must undoubtedly exist. It wasn’t possible for an Immortal True King to emerge out of nowhere; almost all in the past generation were born out of Supreme Sacred Lands protected by Supreme Great Powers.

Could Ye Chen be the same?
