In the starry sky, at that very moment, an eerie silence fell, like death itself.
Everyone gazed toward the Chaos Sea.
In the Chaos Sea, Ye Chen knelt there, clutching Ji Ningfrost's immortal garment, tears streaming down his face.
The cultivators of Zhutian could not bear to watch, all sighing in sorrow.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard—a supreme queen had vanished in an instant.
"Die!" The profound silence was shattered by a roar, as the Honghuang emperor's children charged into the Chaos Sea. Ji Ningfrost's death was an unexpected boon, and if they could also slay Ye Chen, it would be perfect. After all, Ye Chen was still lost in his grief, making now the ideal time to strike. They only cared about his death, not the method.
"Damn it." The Zhutian emperor-level figures were furious and followed suit, rushing into the Chaos Sea.
At the sight, Donghuang Taixin stepped across the stars, with Yaochi Xianmu, Donghua Qizi, and many other Quasi-Emperors ready to enter the Chaos Sea. Ji Ningfrost was gone, but they could not let Ye Chen fall as well.
The Honghuang powerhouses moved first, a dark mass of figures blocking the way to the Chaos Sea, stopping Donghuang Taixin and the others. They were not about to let this prime opportunity to kill Ye Chen slip away—how could they allow Zhutian to interfere? Ye Chen had to die.
"Move aside." Donghuang Taixin snorted coldly.
"The young ones' battles are for the young; the elders should stay out." The Honghuang Quasi-Emperors sneered.
"You—"
"Kill." Tensions escalated on that side, on the verge of all-out war, while in the Chaos Sea, the Honghuang emperor's children grinned maliciously, launching attacks one after another. Palm strikes, sword beams, and magical artifacts rained down on Ye Chen.
As they had anticipated, Ye Chen was still immersed in his pain, oblivious to the assaults from behind.
Boom! Bang!
Ye Chen was instantly engulfed by the barrage of attacks. When the waves of the Chaos Sea subsided, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
"He's dead, he's dead." The Honghuang emperor's children laughed wildly, their excitement bordering on madness, their faces twisted and sinister.
"Damn you all." The Zhutian emperor-level figures arrived, their killing intent overwhelming.
"Since you're here, don't think about leaving." The Honghuang emperor's children bared their fangs, nearly sixty of them surging forward in a wave. With Ji Ningfrost dead and Ye Chen slain, wiping out this group of emperor-level figures would clear the path for them. The young generation of Zhutian would no longer pose a threat.
The battle erupted, shaking the Chaos Sea with towering waves.
It was clear that the Zhutian emperor-level figures were at a disadvantage, outnumbered and facing four-to-one odds. Blood sprayed, bones flew, staining the Chaos Sea red—a gruesome sight.
Witnessing this, the elder generation of Zhutian surged forward.
"The young ones' battles are for the young; the elders should stay out." The Honghuang powerhouses chuckled darkly, their vast army sealing off the Chaos Sea completely. They formed an impenetrable wall, like a majestic mountain, allowing no one from Zhutian to pass.
What's more, many Honghuang Quasi-Emperors glanced toward the Xuanhuang Continent, using ultimate Dao Emperor Weapons to transmit mocking messages: "We hope our friends in the forbidden zones will treat both sides equally."
Sure enough, as soon as they spoke, imperial might spread from the Xuanhuang Continent direction, with over a hundred Emperor Weapons trembling. The message was clear: the young ones' fights are for the young; interfere, and face death.
The forbidden zones had to remain impartial. If they favored Zhutian, it might provoke Honghuang into a mutual destruction, sparking a war that engulfed the entire human realm. Even the five great forbidden zones could not stop it then.
The elders of Zhutian clenched their fists, their eyes bloodshot. Honghuang's intent was obvious—they aimed to wipe out the Zhutian emperor-level figures entirely. Yet, there was nothing they could do to help.
"Zhutian juniors, follow me into battle!" Kui Niu roared, brandishing his battle axe as he charged toward the Chaos Sea.
At his side, Xiao Yuan Huang gripped his Ujin iron rod, his fiery eyes gleaming with radiant divine light.
Led by them, the younger generation of Zhutian followed suit. Since the elders could not join the fight, the juniors would take up the charge.
In response, the Honghuang forces stepped aside, eager to lure more Zhutian juniors in. These lesser figures were no match for the emperor-level ones and would only meet their end.
"Don't throw your lives away." The Zhutian seniors quickly intervened, holding them back. This was a battle among emperor-level figures; even those at the crown prince level stood no chance—going in would be futile.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
While standoffs unfolded in the stars, blood splattered wildly in the Chaos Sea.
The Zhutian emperor-level figures bled repeatedly, overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of their Honghuang adversaries.
"Come out, withdraw at once!" With Honghuang blocking the way, the Zhutian elders could not enter and shouted in unison. The numbers were too uneven; if the fight continued, the Zhutian emperor-level figures would be annihilated in the Chaos Sea.
However, their calls went unheeded. The Zhutian emperor-level figures fought on with all their might, their eyes red with rage, refusing to retreat. They were determined to fight to the death in the Chaos Sea.
Oh my!
Chi Yangzi rubbed his brow in frustration, amazed at the stubbornness of the Zhutian emperor-level figures.
Compared to the Zhutian cultivators, the Honghuang powerhouses were thoroughly enjoying themselves, leisurely watching the emperor-level clash. Honghuang had suffered heavy losses in the Tianzun ruins, but now with Ji Ningfrost and Ye Chen gone, and the Zhutian emperor-level figures soon to follow, it was a true windfall.
"Kill, kill them all clean!" The Honghuang emperor's children laughed wildly without restraint, frenzied like mad dogs, unleashing wave after wave of Emperor Dao immortal techniques. They stirred the Chaos Sea into a frenzy and forced the Zhutian emperor-level figures to bleed across the stars. At this rate, it would not be long before the Zhutian emperor-level figures were wiped out.
Hm?
In the midst of the battle, someone frowned and looked toward the void.
There, drops of golden blood were gathering, forming strands that fused together into a vague human shape, radiating brilliant golden light like a scorching sun.
"The Sacred Body?"
The Zhutian cultivators were stunned, recognizing the figure—it was Ye Chen, the one who had been destroyed earlier.
Indeed, it was Ye Chen, who had reformed his Sacred Body.
His reappearance thrilled the Zhutian cultivators. The ruthless one who had slain emperors—how could he be so easily killed? He was Ye Chen, the Holy Lord of Heavenly Court, the commander of Great Chu, the supreme war god!
"How is this possible?" The Honghuang powerhouses narrowed their eyes, their smiles fading as their expressions turned sinister.
"This can't be." The Honghuang emperor's children roared, nearly sixty of them attacking together—an force that could instantly crush a Great Saint—yet they had failed to kill a Saint King level Ye Chen.
"I knew you were still alive! We wouldn't have come in if you'd said so earlier." Ming Jue cursed loudly, coughing up blood and barely able to stand, having faced four Honghuang emperor's children alone and nearly been destroyed.
The other Zhutian emperor-level figures were in no better shape, all covered in blood and wounds. A dozen of them against nearly sixty Honghuang emperor's children—it was a testament to their grit.
"Brother, let me calculate—Old Seven is about to go berserk." Kui Niu said meaningfully.
"So what if he's alive? We'll destroy him all the same." A Honghuang emperor's child snarled and charged into the stars, straight for Ye Chen.
His words were not wrong. Even if the Sacred Body survived, Zhutian had merely gained another emperor-level figure. But Honghuang had nearly sixty—group battles still favored them.
"Die!" As he spoke, that Honghuang emperor's child had already closed in, his finger beam piercing like a force of nature.
Ye Chen's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion, as he let the finger strike come, standing firm.
Pfft!
Golden Sacred Blood sprayed out as Ye Chen's brow was pierced, the wound glaringly vivid.
Yet, as the blood sprayed, its color changed—from golden, it gradually turned black.
At the same time, Ye Chen's form transformed. His hair, like a waterfall, turned red strand by strand. An ancient divine pattern slowly etched itself on his brow, and his eyes became pitch-black, like two abyssal voids flickering with a demonic light. A rolling demonic aura surged forth.
In an instant, his aura surged to its peak. The gashes on his body and the wound on his brow healed in a flash, while his bloodline, origin, and Dao roots underwent a profound evolution.
"Blood Limit Boundary?" The stars erupted in shock.
