Chapter 1475: They All Have a Share

Upon hearing this, a group of Da Sheng erupted in rage and no longer bothered to ask who was responsible—they charged straight into pursuit.

The princes and princesses attending the grand banquet dared not make a sound, watching helplessly as one Da Sheng after another flew over their heads, nearly crushing them on the spot and making them almost vomit blood.

Many had come: after the Da Sheng, there were Sheng Ren and Zhun Sheng Wang, their numbers vast and forming a dark mass as they swept over the Honghuang Forest, covering the sky and earth as they rushed toward that direction.

Jinwu Taizi bared his sharp white teeth and joined the chase. With so many powerful figures pursuing, he felt quite confident and was eager to see Ye Chen and his companions meet a gruesome end.

The other princes and princesses also followed, glancing back at the depths where Xuanwu Wang was as they ascended to the heavens. What are you doing? With so many old-timers here, aren't you going to intervene?

Xuanwu Wang, however, acted as if he heard nothing, calmly continuing to carve his wooden figurine. He hadn't intervened earlier, and he certainly wouldn't now. If he got involved, the Xuanwu Clan would instantly become the target of all.

The heavens rumbled, ancient trees toppled in vast swaths, and void spaces collapsed in massive sections.

Ahead, Ye Chen and his group burned their essence blood, not daring to stop for a moment. Those pursuers were far too strong for them to handle—if caught, none of them would survive.

"Dammit, we were so close," Kui Niu cursed all the way, full of resentment. "Give me just three more swings of my axe, and I'd have split that Jinwu bird in half. What a load of crap."

"Focus on staying alive first," Ye Chen transmitted via divine sense, trying to activate the Heavenly Dao, but he failed to execute it successfully. Even after advancing to Sheng Ren, he could unseal his Immortal Eye but not fully access the Immortal Wheel Heavenly Dao for escape.

"Stay where you are!" A chilling roar echoed through the heavens as Feng Diao Huang attacked, taking a massive stride that covered eight thousand zhang of void with a palm strike carrying Da Sheng-level pressure, instantly collapsing the sky.

Ye Chen and his group all spat blood, unable to withstand the Da Sheng's might, and plummeted from the void one after another.

The many Da Sheng, Zhun Sheng Wang, and elderly Sheng Ren arrived together, surrounding the four directions of the heavens.

Only then did they clearly see whom they were pursuing: the little princess of the Kongque Clan, the prince of the Kui Niu Clan, the Great Earth Martial Bear, Xiao Yuan Huang, the Pangolin, the Xian Wang Crane, and the Beiming Fish.

They recognized them all, and upon spotting Ye Chen, their eyes narrowed at once. "The Holy Body?"

Ye Chen and his companions struggled to their feet but were crushed under the pressure, their legs trembling as if about to kneel. This was the absolute suppression of cultivation realms; even as prodigies, they could hardly resist.

"It was them who provoked us first—they even tried to kill us," Xiao Yuan Huang roared defiantly, refusing to submit.

"I killed them all by myself; this has nothing to do with them," Ye Chen spoke up, taking all the blame onto himself. As long as Qian Shang Yue and the others could escape, he had his trump card to break this crisis.

His trump card, of course, was the Tian Jie, just as Xuanwu Wang had said—he was an anomaly. Though he had bypassed the Tianren Five Decays, other tribulations awaited.

That Tian Jie was unique to the Huanggu Holy Body and had been sealed during his advancement to Sheng Ren.

Without passing the Tian Jie, he wasn't a true Sheng Ren, so the full backlash of the Zhoutian evolution would come after he crossed it—but he didn't know how long he could suppress it.

"The guilty have their heads, and the debts have their owners—this has nothing to do with them," Ye Chen said, lifting his head to gaze at the sky.

"They all have a share." Before the Da Sheng could respond, another mocking shout rang out—it was Jinwu Taizi, who had caught up, leering at Ye Chen and his group.

"Son of a bitch." Seeing it was Jinwu Taizi, Ye Chen gritted his teeth in hatred. That guy shows up everywhere. If I'd known we'd get caught, I should've turned him to ash right then.

"You will all accompany my son in death." Feng Diao Huang roared madly, his grief over his son's death driving him insane; he didn't care who was involved—all would pay with their lives.

With that, he suddenly raised his hand for another sky-covering palm strike, devastating everything in its path.

Kui Niu, Qian Shang Yue, and Xiao Yuan Huang all turned pale at the sight. Unless something unexpected happened, they would all die today—a Da Sheng-level palm was beyond their ability to counter.

Ye Chen clenched his jaw, his eyes wild with madness, ready to unseal the Tian Jie to resolve the crisis.

But at that critical moment, the void was torn open by a golden-furred hand, and a majestic figure stepped out—it was a Dou Zhan Sheng Yuan, with fiery golden eyes and an aura of overwhelming dominance.

This Sheng Yuan was incredibly fierce; upon emerging, he swung his Wujin iron staff, shattering Feng Diao Huang's palm print. Even Feng Diao Huang, with his Da Sheng-level cultivation, was shaken and spat blood.

So impressive! Ye Chen watched in astonishment, swallowing hard. This Sheng Yuan's vital energy was as dominant as Xiao Yuan Huang's—genuine Da Sheng, undoubtedly the Yuan Huang of the Sheng Yuan Clan.

And as Ye Chen guessed, Xiao Yuan Huang's eyes lit up, and he called out,

"Dad!"

Yuan Huang shot Xiao Yuan Huang an irritated glance before glaring at Feng Diao Huang, his golden eyes blazing with fury and adding a layer of savagery.

"Old Feng Diao, you've got some nerve, daring to touch my son."

"You killed my son, so blood will pay for blood," Feng Diao Huang thundered, his aura piercing the heavens. Jiuyi Huang, Baqi Huang, and Jiu Tou Huang, all Da Sheng, roared in anger and joined the assault, their killing intent overflowing.

"It was him who attacked us first—we couldn't just stand there and take it," Xiao Yuan Huang shouted. With his father here, he felt bold; the Sheng Yuan lineage had never backed down.

"In that case, kill them all," Feng Diao Huang bellowed and charged into battle. Jiuyi Huang, Baqi Huang, and Jiu Tou Huang followed, howling as they rushed to aid him, their killing intent rampant.

"You think I'm scared?" Yuan Huang's golden eyes flashed with light, his power unmatched. He swept his staff across the eight directions, smashing half of Feng Diao Huang's divine body in an instant.

At the sight, Jiuyi Huang soared into the sky, wielding a Chi Xian Sword and slashing down with unmatched force.

Yuan Huang snorted coldly and swung his staff with perfect form, flipping Jiuyi Huang away.

Jiu Tou Huang attacked next, gripping a war spear and striking from behind to decapitate Yuan Huang. Xue Yan Huang followed suit, suspending an ancient seal above his head that unleashed divine might, incredibly domineering.

Yuan Huang showed no fear, shielding Ye Chen and Xiao Yuan Huang's group behind him as he transformed into his ape form. Alone, he took on over a dozen Huang, his iron staff buzzing with power, fierce and violent.

As a terrifying Huang who had touched the Zhun Di threshold, combined with the dominant combat style of the Dou Zhan Sheng Yuan lineage, none of the Da Sheng could withstand even one of his strikes—they were sent flying everywhere.

Ye Chen watched with his mouth agape in amazement. The Dou Zhan Sheng Yuan lineage was truly no joke; they cultivated domineering techniques and possessed equally domineering combat power, overwhelmingly strong among peers.

With a boom, Baqi Huang was flipped by Yuan Huang, his divine body exploding in a wretched display.

Enraged, Baqi Huang's eyes turned blood-red with a ferocious glare. He couldn't take down Yuan Huang quickly, but killing Ye Chen and his group would be easy.

Abandoning all shame, he ignored Yuan Huang and charged at Ye Chen's group with his war spear, its power devastating.

Ye Chen and the others tensed immediately, retreating one after another. Powerful as they were, they couldn't block a Da Sheng.

Yuan Huang flew into a rage, trying to rescue them, but was held back by Feng Diao Huang, Jiuyi Huang, and the other Da Sheng with their killing techniques, buying time for Baqi Huang.

"Die!" Baqi Huang's roar shook the heavens as his spear pierced the void, its force obliterating all in its path.

"Go!" Kui Niu shouted, shoving Ye Chen and the others away and transforming into his true form to charge forward. For once, he acted like a true leader, stepping up in crisis to block for his comrades.

But at that moment, the void cracked open again, and a burly, bare-armed man burst out—brimming with bovine energy and wild fury, it was unmistakably the Kui Niu Huang of the Kui Niu Clan.

This Huang was even more ferocious than Yuan Huang; he blocked Baqi Huang's spear with his bovine body and slapped Baqi Huang staggering with a backhand.

"You slimy little serpent, daring to touch my son? You've got some nerve."

Following Kui Niu Huang, several more arrived: the fathers of the Great Earth Martial Bear, the Pangolin, the Beiming Fish, and the Xian Wang Crane—known in the Southern Domain as Wu Xiong Huang, Chuan Shan Huang, Beiming Huang, and Xian He Huang.

Besides them, the Sheng Zhu of the Kongque Clan also charged in, his aura magnificent. As the leader of the Kongque Clan, his presence was no simple matter.

None of them had a mild temperament; as soon as they appeared, they dove into the battle, each one fiercely aggressive.

With their arrival, Yuan Huang's pressure eased dramatically, allowing him to unleash his full might and drive Feng Diao Huang mad.

Both sides had reinforcements rushing in from all directions, their numbers massive and not inferior to the enemy, including Sheng Wang-level and Zhun Sheng Wang-level experts who joined the fight—none of them were pushovers.

The battle erupted in full, blood staining the void as figures continuously charged in and fell. The scene was brutally intense, shattering the heavens and earth, with even Sheng Wang struggling to stay intact.

"Let's go!" Kui Niu and Xiao Yuan Huang howled and plunged into the enemy ranks. If we can't take on the strong ones, we can handle the weak—any Zhun Sheng who came forward was cut down in droves.

Ye Chen wasn't about to just watch; he stepped into the fray, splitting a Zhun Sheng from the Baqi Clan in half with one strike—his body exploded instantly, and even his Yuan Shen was obliterated.

"Suppress!" A Sheng Ren from the Jiuyi Shen Peng Clan roared, controlling a silver bronze furnace that radiated dazzling immortal light, intertwined with Dao principles and dancing with divine treasures, its power formidable.

Ye Chen snorted and summoned his Hun Dun Cauldron, smashing the furnace in one blow. The Jiuyi Shen Peng Sheng Ren spat blood and flew back, only to be slain on the spot by Ye Chen's Feng Shen Sword.

After felling him, Ye Chen charged forward, slashing all the way. Among the Zhun Sheng level, no one could block his sword; even veteran Sheng Ren struggled against his world-shaking attacks.

He had his sights set on a particular side—or rather, a particular person: Jinwu Taizi, trying to slip away in the chaos.

"Where do you think you're going!" Ye Chen gripped his blood-stained killing sword and gave chase. Earlier, things had happened too suddenly to finish him off, and he still felt unsatisfied. Now, in this massive brawl, he wouldn't let him escape.

Seeing Ye Chen bearing down on him, Jinwu Taizi gritted his teeth but sped up even more. He'd been sneaking away before, but now he bolted openly, slick as could be.

"Hey," Ye Chen muttered to himself in frustration as he pursued. Though his combat power surpassed Jinwu Taizi's, the guy was no slouch—if he ran all out, catching him would be tough.
