Chapter 552: Chapter 502: Saint King Astonishes the Hall! 22 More Updates

"His title—"

The Heavenly Gate Master slowly began, "Combat Saint King!"

Boom—

The instant the Heavenly Gate Master’s voice fell, the entire Heavenly Gate Main Hall plunged into an unprecedented silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Combat Saint King, just four simple words, yet this title seemed to possess an infinite magic, making countless mighty figures in the vast Heavenly Gate Main Hall widen their eyes and open their mouths in shock.

Even among them, a considerable number of the Old Immortals, who had seen a lot and experienced many life and death situations, had reached a state of mind where they were normally unflappable. However, upon hearing this, they still couldn’t stop their old faces from showing a look of astonished horror, and they stared intensely at the handsome young man in the center of the hall.

He is... the Combat Saint King!?

Muffled swallowing sounds began to echo in the hall.

No wonder they reacted so, for the Combat Saint King’s fame was too great throughout the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms; his name was mentioned frequently by the older generation, serving as a forbidding title and goal for the younger generation to look up to.

Everyone knew that, decades ago, among the young upstarts of a past generation, there had been one who emerged with a strong posturing, unparalleled and supremely invincible. He eclipsed the geniuses of his time, causing even the strongest Immortal True Kings of that era to take him seriously and never underestimate him.

This person was the Combat Saint King, a figure akin to a legendary mythical being.

He was a legendary figure, long gone for decades, witnessed by countless people, but today, he has appeared in the Heavenly Gate Main Hall in such a manner.

Everyone was stunned, shocked as they looked at the young man before them, unable to believe their eyes.

Impossible!

This was the thought in everyone’s minds. Who would believe that a person who died decades ago was alive? It was known to be a certain death situation back then, and even the Heavenly Gate Master of the time was powerless to help.

But this was the Heavenly Gate Master himself who had spoken, confirming this matter.

If it were any other matter, it might have been dismissed, but who was the Heavenly Gate Master to speak idly?

It was all just so shocking that no one could accept it right away.

Ye Chen exhaled slowly, and then, atop his crown, a radiant column of Divine Light suddenly burst forth, illuminated by a heavenly mandate.

Within the column of light, one could see an imposing figure standing tall above the ninth heaven, ruling over all, overlooking the Ten Thousand Domains, his head crowned with sparkling Divine Light, bathed in Infinite Golden Light, standing tall and attracting attention like the Heavenly Gods.

The most terrifying Martial Arts Will began to spread, and in this Main Hall, aside from the few powerful individuals including the Heavenly Gate Master, Wang Chen, and barring Ruoxi, everyone else began to tremble involuntarily, submitting from the bottom of their hearts.

It was a supreme authority, as if the Sovereign of the Heavens were descending to the mortal realm, and all were his subjects, required to submit.

At this moment, even if they refused to believe, they had no choice, for this kind of pressure was something even the Immortal True Kings of the new generation couldn’t possess; only the truly supreme beings were worthy.

Ye Chen was indeed the Combat Saint King of legend!

This was now undeniable.

Upon the high dais, Zhao Feng, the Wind King who had faced a crushing defeat, had long since ceased to be the focus of everyone’s attention. And he, too, looked towards the tall, impressive figure at the center of the main hall, unable to suppress a bitter smile, filled with a profound sense of powerlessness.

Even facing an Immortal True King, he felt that, though supremely powerful, with enough effort, he could still catch up to them. One day he would join their ranks; this was the will of a king.

But in the presence of the legendary Combat Saint King, such will was on the verge of collapse.

It was a myth, an insurmountable one!

Even he considered the Combat Saint King a figure of lifelong admiration; precisely because of that, he was the most insurmountable.

"My defeat is no injustice..."

To be defeated by the legendary Combat Saint King was to still emerge glorious in defeat!

Thereafter, Ye Chen retracted the Divine Light Column and the reflection of destiny, gradually drawing it inward, restoring tranquility.

But at this moment, who would dare to hold a contemptuous attitude toward this seemingly young Ye Chen? Everyone had to acknowledge him with respect.

Even the older generation had to do so.

The younger generation’s expressions were undoubtedly the most shocked, for the deeds of the Combat Saint King, though decades past, were still circulated throughout the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, seen by countless young talents as the object of worship.

Now they had seen the true Combat Saint King, and many revealed a deep fervor.

For such a figure, along with the Heavenly Gate Master, were the true great geniuses of their time, with legendary stories widely spread among the youths of the Ten Thousand Domains.

And now the Saint King was not dead, reincarnated, and having assumed the form of Great Demon King Yue, sweeping across the Four Great Kings, his name once again resonated throughout the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, adding another layer of legend to him.

Even numerous young women cast passionate glances, their hearts stirred.

With such power, appearance, and background, which of these young talents would not be admired?

In the face of suddenly becoming the center of attention, Ye Chen remained composed. Then he turned to Ruoxi, suddenly saying, "Xi’er, Brother needs to leave for a while, I need to go into seclusion, to reclaim the glory of old."

He was going to go into seclusion; the supreme resurgence within the Starry Sky Land of the Heavenly Pass was only temporary, and now he would enter seclusion to fully restore the invincible glory of the past, once again peerless across the ages, supreme among the Ten Thousand Domains.

Ruoxi, though she had just reunited with her brother and was about to part again, appeared rather reluctant, but understood the gravity of the situation, and knowing his determination, she nodded obediently, "I’ll wait for you."

Ye Chen stepped forward, gently embracing the girl’s delicate body, and as always, doting as he patted her on the top of the skull, "Xi’er, thank you."

Afterwards, Ye Chen suddenly turned to the Heavenly Gate Master, saying solemnly, "Sect Leader, I need to go into seclusion immediately."

The crowd was astounded and then filled with excitement. Was this to reclaim the invincible glory of days gone by?

"Good!"

The Heavenly Gate Master spoke, with a wave of his sleeve as if shifting the stars, he left the main hall, taking Ye Chen with him to a mountain at the back of Dufeng, opening a massive stone gate, saying, "This place is where I usually meditate in seclusion. Go inside to seclude yourself, and if you encounter any crisis, just crush this jade token, and I will sense it."

As he spoke, he entrusted a mutton-fat jade token to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took hold of it and then stepped into the Sect Leader’s place of seclusion behind the stone gate, officially beginning his seclusion. He would give his all to break through, revive the Holy Body, and restore the supreme invincible posture!
