Chapter 599: Chapter 546 He is Ye Chen Update 69

A soft chuckling suddenly rang out, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Ye Chen spoke, his smile as refreshing as a spring breeze brushing one’s face, without a trace of nervousness.

This casual and composed demeanor made him the center of attention.

Many were taken aback, and it wasn’t until then that the Thirteenth Prince and Princess Hongs Rong snapped out of their shock, chuckled as they looked at Ye Chen, their nerves completely eased.

This was a true divine being, a monstrous demigod at the Absolute Peak twelve years ago, capable of slaying Divinity Transformation Experts from the Otherworld, and now twelve years had passed—who could have predicted how much more formidable he had become.

After all, they all felt that Ye Chen now seemed even more unfathomable than before.

The Thirteenth Prince smirked and said, "Sorry, if you hadn’t spoken up, I’d have almost forgotten about you. Since you’ve volunteered, please hurry up and take care of these troubles for us."

Ye Chen chuckled, leaped into the air, and said, "Since you have personally asked, I suppose I must take action. Have all your men return; there’s no need for them to waste Divine Power resisting anymore. I alone am enough."

His faint words astonished everyone in the city, yet many frowned.

Just who was this somewhat unfamiliar young man to be so arrogantly declaring he would face all the Demon Beasts alone?

Yet the Thirteenth Prince actually spoke up, ordering all the combatants to withdraw one by one, adding to the disbelief.

Even the City Lord believed this man’s audacious claim, which was simply madness, and some even stepped forward to stop him, urgently saying, "City Lord, this cannot be. What if the Nine-Spot Six-Ear Bear breaks through? It’s better if we all take action, please give the order immediately."

However, the Thirteenth Prince just shook his head, a confident smile on his face, and said, "Don’t worry. Trust him; let everyone fall back."

"City Lord, who on earth is he that you trust him so much?" someone finally couldn’t help but ask.

Before the Thirteenth Prince could speak, Princess Hongs Rong took the floor, her red lips parting slightly to utter two words. The gentle utterance echoed like thunder in everyone’s ears—

"Ye Chen!"

These seemingly plain words carried an invisible magic, freezing everyone present on the spot, their expressions stiff, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

It was him, returned to the Ancient Road!

Despite the lapse of twelve years, the tales of that man had never faded from people’s hearts; rather, with the passage of time, the imprint had become even more indelible.

Because they clearly remembered that, more than a decade ago, a legend named Ye Chen had risen like lightning from a broken body, dominating Trial Road, overshadowing the young elite of the Tiandu Continent, breaking through the Trial Gate, surpassing the Five Great Ancient Heroes, and reigning as King, invincible among his contemporaries.

At that time, Ye Chen was such a legend that all of his contemporaries, including those Ancient Heroes sealed in the Ancient Era, who were prophesied by seers to be beyond Divine Spirits—potential Saints—had to suppress their hope, only able to look up to him, without any hope of rivalry.

Twelve years ago, he was already capable of matching and even slaying Divinity Transformation Experts from the Otherworld.

Twelve years had passed, and he had unexpectedly returned.

No wonder he seemed somewhat unfamiliar, yet so close with the Thirteenth Prince.

At this moment, after the initial shock, everyone was filled with even more joy because true hope had arrived; a legend appeared.

With his arrival, all the crises on the King’s Ancient Road were no longer a concern.

Looking at the young man slowly rising into the air, everyone revered him as if facing a Heavenly God.

The Thirteenth Prince also took to the air and came to his side, speaking softly, "Do you need our help to fend off other Demon Beasts so you can concentrate on dealing with these?"

Although aware of Ye Chen’s profound strength, they had never fully understood it and, worried he might be overwhelmed alone, thus offered assistance.

Ye Chen shook his head, revealing a smile that could only be described as confidence, "No need, just watch."

Then he looked up at the Roc circling above his head and frowned, "The thing I hate the most is creatures flying over my head."

He reached out with a large hand, and an astonishing Dharma Form appeared, overshadowing the heavens and the earth as he reached for the Roc.

Being a Demon Beast, the Roc had an acute sense of danger and was about to spread its wings to fly away, but Ye Chen coldly snorted, "Even a Demigod’s Immortal Elixir dares to fly away from my grasp, if word got out, wouldn’t it make me the laughingstock of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms?"

The void was instantly sealed; the Roc couldn’t move at all and, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Ye Chen actually grabbed the Demigod Eighth Layer Heaven Roc right out of the sky with ease, rendering its struggles futile as it continually cried out in distress.

Too powerful, although they had long known of Ye Chen’s strength, witnessing it firsthand still left them deeply shaken.

With a mere gesture of his hand, he had brought down the Roc—in no position to struggle. It must be noted that this was a Great Demon of the Demigod Eighth Layer Heaven, a creature that would require at least a dozen Demigod Strong Ones to confront, and with its incredible speed as a heavenly bird, it was exceedingly difficult to deal with.

He was truly worthy of being the young generation’s myth of the Tiandu Continent, overwhelmingly strong.

Ye Chen did not kill the Roc; he merely restrained its movement, preventing it from flying away, and casually threw it aside, causing nearby forests to topple and the ground to rumble thunderously.

Afterward, Ye Chen looked towards the other three Great Demons and the thousands upon thousands of Demon Beast waves, "For you, one move is sufficient!"

He took just a single step forward, and a circle of invisible spatial ripples spread out like lightning beneath his feet.

Dao’s Trace!

The invisible spatial ripples expanded with the speed of a thunderclap, stretching out lightning-fast to engulf the dense tide of Demon Beasts. Those ferocious creatures instantly burst apart, blood mist exploded, their bodies shattered, and blood stained the forests.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Demon Beasts had eerily burst apart, a bloody scene that shook the hearts of all who witnessed it.

The Nine-Spot Six-Ear Bear, Three-headed Lion Tiger Wolf, and Heavenly Demon Snake were blasted hundreds of feet away, collapsing mountains in their wake.

One move, overpowering all demons—victorious!

After his shock, the Thirteenth Prince could only bitterly smile.

Who could have imagined that Ye Chen, so powerful now, was only a match comparable to his own ten or so years ago?

Decades had passed, and this once demonic figure who had suppressed the young generation’s Heavenly talente had become even more of a legendary unbeatable, causing others to only look up in admiration.

Princess Hongs Rong was also repeatedly taken aback, dumbfoundedly saying, "Can’t Ye Chen be a little less powerful?"
