Chapter 2432: Youth Emperor vs. Youth Emperor

Chapter 2432: Young Emperor vs. Young Emperor

Boom! Rumble!

The night in Da Chu was far from peaceful. The Cang Qiong buzzed and rumbled, as if it could barely withstand Ye Chen's overwhelming pressure. Now, he was utterly demonic, standing in the heavens with a playful, mocking smile at the corners of his mouth, casually twisting his neck, radiating violent bloodlust mixed with an eerie aura.

Not only him, but the wolf-tooth club in his hand was also shrouded in demonic light.

The club was transformed from the Hun Dun Ding, and as its master became demonized, the weapon itself could not escape the same fate.

"Join forces and seal him."

Xiao Chen shouted sternly, stepping forward and shattering the Ling Xiao. Tai Wang's son, Long Teng, moved at the same time. The two unleashed sealing divine abilities, infused with Dao principles, forming a massive sealing array.

Ye Chen let out a you xiao and vanished in an instant before the array could fully form, dodging it completely. He charged at Xiao Chen, swinging his club to make him spurt blood, then flipped his hand for a palm strike that sent Long Teng flying. Even Huang Yan, Zhou Tian Yi, and Di Fan, who arrived later, were punched and made to vomit blood.

Seal!

Mo Wang Kui Yu Jiang ascended to the nine heavens, taking control of the great array and pressing it down from above. The kings of Da Chu also sprang into action, each supporting the array's positions. Array patterns spread across the void, their sealing power dominating everything.

Ye Chen raised a palm to the sky, holding the array at bay, while intricate array patterns formed in his own palm—it was the Di Dao Fu Xi array. Using array against array, he overpowered his opponents. The kings of Da Chu were forced back, failing to seal Ye Chen and instead finding themselves trapped in the Di Dao Fu Xi array, unable to break free.

"Don't move, we'll handle this."

Ri Yue Shen Zi called out boldly, joining forces with Dong Zhou Wu Wang to attack. They employed Di Dao immortal techniques, not for offense but for sealing, creating a cage-like trap to imprison him.

Ye Chen was domineering as ever, smashing through their secret techniques and divine abilities with a single punch. Even powerhouses like Zhi Yan and Song Yu were instantly defeated—not because they were weak, but because he was terrifyingly strong.

Boom! Bang!

Zhu Tian Di Zi, Qing Di Zhi Zi, You Ming Di Zi, Tian Que Di Zi, Wu Ji Di Zi, and Yu Kong Di Zi all charged in together, activating an ancient array. Di Dao-level immortal patterns covered the heavens and earth, with each emperor's son serving as a key point, shining like brilliant suns.

However, strong as the array was, it still couldn't contain Ye Chen, collapsing under a single swing of his club.

Pfft!

The six emperor's sons were struck and bled profusely, stumbling backward with each step, crushing vast swaths of the void beneath their feet. Before they could steady themselves, the demonized Ye Chen was upon them, intent on annihilation.

In a flash of lightning, colorful immortal xia drifted in, wielded by Tian Zhi.

The princess of the seven-colored peacock clan possessed heavenly Dao laws. Though she couldn't repel the demonized Ye Chen, she neutralized his killing blow, buying the six emperor's sons a moment to catch their breath.

Ye Chen halted, licking his lips with a more violent smile, his bloodthirsty killing intent barely contained. The last trace of sanity in his eyes was completely overshadowed by demonic power.

Before he could move, a mighty Buddhist chant resounded like tolling bells, echoing through the heavens and earth.

Xi Zun made his move, surging waves of nian li flooding the skies. Within it sat a massive golden Buddha, radiating dazzling light with a wan character on its chest. He recited the Great Sun Purification Mantra, aiming to dispel Ye Chen's demonic power and restore his senses.

Ye Chen's lips curled into a smirk as his surging demonic energy swallowed everything in sight, fused with Nie Yuan force like a vast ocean. It collided with the nian force sea and overpowered it, devouring the nian force entirely.

Boom!

The ten-thousand-zhang golden Buddha shattered, and Xi Zun spat blood as he was flung away, suffering severe backlash.

Roar!

A kirin roared suddenly as Nan Di transformed into his true form and charged in, flanked by Zhong Huang on one side. One unleashed a sword beam, the other a thunderbolt, both laced with sealing power.

But Ye Chen was too powerful; even as emperor's sons, they couldn't withstand a single blow from his club.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The void trembled with a buzz, the heavens cracked, and the universe collapsed. Dozens of emperor's sons from various clans united their efforts, yet they failed to subdue Ye Chen. Instead, he struck them repeatedly, making them bleed profusely.

This was the might of a Young Emperor level—made even more fearsome by demonization. In the same realm, no one could match him. Facing dozens of emperor's sons alone, he still dominated completely, truly terrifying.

"Everyone below Quasi Emperor, retreat at once."

Xie Yun issued a cold command, stepping into the void.

No one needed to be told twice; the cultivators of Da Chu were already withdrawing, including many Quasi Emperors. Even emperor's sons at the Quasi Emperor level couldn't handle Ye Chen, so rushing in would only cause chaos.

"Our emperor is truly domineering!"

Tai Yi Zhen Ren clicked his tongue in amazement.

"How did he end up demonized out of nowhere?" Wu San Pao stroked his chin, still baffled as to why Ye Chen had suddenly fallen into this state without any warning, catching everyone off guard.

"Are all the peak Quasi Emperors of Da Chu asleep?" Gu San Tong raised an eyebrow.

It wasn't just him—people everywhere were wondering the same thing. What about Hong Yan and Di Huang? Wouldn't two Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies step in? This could lead to catastrophe between the realms of the living and the dead!

Little did they know, Di Huang and Hong Yan had long left the heavens.

As for Da Chu's peak Quasi Emperors, they could see everything clearly. Their inaction wasn't due to laziness; they were observing the situation. Ye Chen's sudden demonization was too strange.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Amid the discussions, the skies turned bloody. The emperor's sons all tried to seal Ye Chen without lethal intent, using pure sealing techniques. But Ye Chen was ruthless, employing Di Dao immortal laws with every strike, ensuring each attack left an emperor's son spurting blood.

"You son of a... forcing me to go all out."

Xiao Yuan Huang was furious, battered and bruised. He activated a great forbidden law, transforming into a colossal ape towering into the sky. His fire eyes blazed with golden flames, and every hair on his body gleamed like steel needles wreathed in golden light, his aura shaking the nine heavens.

He swung a massive palm, but it collided with Ye Chen's Ba Bu Tian Long. The ten-thousand-zhang dragon was no longer golden—it was pitch black, radiating demonic energy.

Pfft! Boom!

The clever Xiao Yuan Huang took a direct hit from the dragon's tail swipe, sent flying on the spot. His enormous ape body exploded instantly, blood raining down like a storm and flattening entire mountain ranges.

The other emperor's sons fared no better, each struck by the dragon's tail in a painfully sharp manner. Those with weaker foundations, like Xiao Yuan Huang, couldn't even hold their forms.

"Ye Chen, wake up."

Chu Xuan arrived, stepping through the air with the Di Bing Yu Ru Yi fused into her body, enhanced by ultimate Di Wei. Her crystalline jade hand descended from the heavens, array patterns swirling in her palm—a sealing immortal array.

Ye Chen laughed sinisterly, ascending in a single step and swinging his club. But in that moment, the subconscious of Da Chu's tenth emperor resisted the demonic influence, causing his swing to hesitate slightly and his demonic power to wane.

Boom!

The sealing immortal array descended, making him stagger.

Seal!

Chu Ling, Nan Ming Yu Shu, Liu Ru Yan, and Lin Shi Hua ascended to the heavens simultaneously, forming the same hand seals and reinforcing the immortal array to bind Ye Chen.

Break!

Ye Chen roared, expanding his Hun Dun vision like a true realm, with mountains, rivers, trees, and all things possessing not just spirituality but also a layer of demonic energy.

This demon-enhanced Hun Dun realm was incredibly dominant; even with ultimate Di artifacts bolstering the immortal array, it couldn't contain him. The array patterns scattered in chaos and exploded under his force.

Pfft! Pfft!

Chu Xuan and the others were all repelled, spitting blood as they flew backward.

"Damn it, he's really demonized—now he's even hitting his own wives."

Xie Yun couldn't hold back his outburst.

"Where are Da Chu's Quasi Emperors? What's going on?"

Xiao Yuan Huang grumbled incessantly.

If there was any place with the most fierce fighters, it had to be Da Chu. With all this chaos and fighting for so long, not a single one had shown up to suppress it—frustrating beyond belief.

Though Da Chu's Quasi Emperors hadn't appeared, Dong Shen Yao Chi had arrived.

She could hear the commotion clearly and was full of confusion at Ye Chen's demonization. How had he become so demonic and unstoppable out of nowhere?

She cast an immortal law, summoning a splendid immortal sea that engulfed Ye Chen.

Soon after, a dragon's roar echoed as Ye Chen burst through the immortal sea like a demonic dragon leaping out, only to be halted by the San Bu Wu Zi Tian Shu, forcing him to stagger and nearly fall from the void.

It was no surprise she was Dong Shen Yao Chi, a genuine Young Emperor level—truly dominant. She had barely appeared and already dealt Ye Chen a heavy blow.

Kill!

Ye Chen howled ferociously, his eyes blood red and twisted with malice.

Ji Ning Shuang frowned slightly, seeing the killing intent in his eyes toward her, which inexplicably pained her heart. It was like the time Ye Chen had fallen into demonic barriers years ago—this version of him was terrifying.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The two clashed in the void, thunderous booms echoing across the seas and lands.

One was Da Chu's emperor, the other Dong Shen Yao Chi; one clear-minded, the other demonized—both Young Emperor level, waging war in the void. Ji Ning Shuang transformed into a phoenix, while Ye Chen became a demonic dragon. Dragon and phoenix battled, shaking heaven and earth to pieces.

The battlefield was immense, causing mountains below to crumble and weaker cultivators to vomit blood. Even emperor's sons dared not approach recklessly.

"Fighting this guy still takes his wife to do it."

Ri Yue Shen Zi shook his head, not joining the battle and just gazing up at the sky. A clash between two Young Emperors was the real spectacle of dominance.

"We always wanted to see them fight, and today we finally get our wish."

Dong Zhou Wu Wang coughed dryly, his tone oddly uneasy. They were fighting, but it was brutally intense.

"Are Da Chu's Quasi Emperors all dead?" Kui Niu and Xiao Yuan Huang kept cursing. With such a massive disturbance, how could they not sense it? Yet none showed up.

"How could this happen?"

Ye Ling's words carried a sob. The troublemaker she was, she always wanted to see her father and mothers fight, but not like this.

Chu Xuan and the others were equally worried, as both Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang were family. They didn't want either to get hurt—this damned demonization had come too suddenly.

"This night is truly dramatic."

Ming Di sighed, watching Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang's battle with a strange expression.

If not for that Kui Niu, the two would probably be enjoying their wedding night right now.

Now, they were still entangled, but in the void instead of the bed. He didn't know if it was thrilling, but it was certainly painful. Ye Chen was fighting at full strength.

Pfft!

As Ming Di sighed, someone fell from the void—it was Ji Ning Shuang. Her phoenix form shifted back to human, gravely wounded. Her immortal face was pale, blood trickling from her mouth, and her body covered in bloody gashes, each marked with demonic light that drained her essence.

She had lost, not to Da Chu's tenth emperor, but to the demonized Ye Chen. There was a strange force in his body, mysterious and powerful, surpassing Di Yun. To fight him in this state, she'd need that same power.

Ye Chen, too, reverted from dragon form to human, though his victory left him in bad shape. A Young Emperor level battle with his own wife had left him battered and bloody.

Yet he wasn't angry—instead, he smiled with savage excitement. Looking at Ji Ning Shuang, his demonic eyes grew even more violent. Finally, someone who could match him.

But as he smiled, the smile faded, for Da Chu's Quasi Emperors had made their move.

Sheng Zun suddenly manifested behind him, slamming a palm into his back and inscribing Di Dao array patterns into Ye Chen's Huang Gu Sheng Ti—a powerful seal.

Di Ji stood before him, tapping a finger to his brow to seal his true form.

Dong Huang Tai Xin, Jian Shen, the emperors, and divine generals followed suit, wasting no words as they cast banishing techniques—one after another, all Di Dao level seals. In just three instants, they layered on over ten thousand seals.

Even the demonized Ye Chen dropped to his knees on the spot.

The Quasi Emperors surrounded him in several circles, each taking position and silently reciting the same heart method—the Di Dao Sheng Xin Jue, an immortal law to drive out demonic energy.

Brilliant immortal light enveloped him wave after wave.

Ugh!

Ye Chen's expression was one of agony, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes blood red as he clutched his head and roared. The black demonic energy on his body was forcefully erased by the Sheng Xin Jue's immortal light, and the demonic haze in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Before long, he returned to his original form and fainted.

"What on earth caused him to demonize like this?"

The group of elders withdrew their immortal laws and circled around Ye Da Shao, pondering.

They had witnessed the entire night's events and knew Ye Chen had accumulated karma, making worldly tribulation inevitable. But where had this demonization come from?

"Most likely due to the karmic barriers."

Tian Lao stroked his beard, offering this guess. He had undergone tribulation himself and knew all too well the terror of karma, with its many twists.

"From ancient times, karmic barriers and demonic barriers go hand in hand—it's nothing unusual."

Fu Ya touched his chin, recalling his own pre-tribulation demonization, beaten soundly by the Kun Lun Shen Nu.

Their guesses were shared by the other Quasi Emperors.

"The demonic energy is gone; take him home."

Dong Huang Tai Xin waved her hand, sending Ye Chen down from the void, then linked arms with Jian Shen and left, eager for some private time back home.

The women breathed a sigh of relief and quickly attended to him, splitting into two groups—one to heal Ye Chen, the other Ji Ning Shuang. Both were severely injured from their fierce battle.

"Ninth Mother, I hope I didn't hurt you too badly!"

Ye Ling infused essence while blinking her eyes playfully. The little girl was thoughtful, which was heartwarming.

Ji Ning Shuang smiled gently; her recovery was formidable, and she was mostly fine.

"Go on and continue your wedding night! It's a rare opportunity."

Ye Ling grinned mischievously, her worries fading into cheeky playfulness. With her father's demonic energy gone, they should pick up where they left off.

"Can't even sleep peacefully these days."

The Quasi Emperors stretched lazily, arriving quickly and leaving just as fast, striking a pose as they departed and leaving the cultivators of Da Chu with silhouettes full of swagger.

"A bunch of fools."

Ming Di took a deep breath, suppressing his urge to curse.

The curse of Mo Tian Di wasn't something that could be erased so easily. Just wait—before long, the demonized Ye Chen would bring even greater surprises to you all.
