Chapter 800: The Heavenly King Appears, Ceasefire Invitation into the Palace
From a distance, Ye Chen gazed at the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, revealing a faint, profound smile: "Finally willing to come out?"
Though Ye Chen's words were disrespectful, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King wasn't the least bit angry; instead, there was more of a bitter smile: "If I didn't come out, I'm afraid the entire Emperor Dynasty would have been completely destroyed by you."
Indeed, even the Heavenly King Level Dao Ancient Weapon was no longer effective; he had no choice but to appear.
Upon seeing the appearance of the Heavenly King Ancestor, the strong ones of the Ancient Hua Dynasty were naturally full of joy, without realizing the slightest hint of bitterness in his smile.
The current Emperor stepped forward with clasped fists, saying: "Ancestor above, we are unworthy descendants. Not only did we fail to kill this child, but we also allowed him to destroy the palace and kill so many strong members of our clan. But please, Ancestor, take action and slay this child, to bring justice to our fallen kin."
The other strong individuals of the Ancient Hua Dynasty also clasped their fists and kneeled, pleading.
The strong ones from the other two Great Imperial Dynasties also saluted respectfully and said: "We are willing to follow the Ancient Hua Heavenly King and kill this child, to restore a bright and clear world."
The spectators could only sigh at the Combat Saint King, for even the sleeping Heavenly King Ancestor had finally emerged; the Combat Saint King's invincibility was doomed to be destroyed, and no matter how strong, he couldn't resist.
A grand Emperor Star advancing towards the Taoist Peak, was it about to fall before their eyes?
Yet Ye Chen showed no trace of worry; on the contrary, he looked at the Ancient Hua Heavenly King leisurely and said with a smile: "Would you like to make a move against me?"
Seeing the somewhat expectant look on Ye Chen's face, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King could only offer a bitter smile.
He did want to make a move against him, but the strength of the Power of Faith overflowing from the center of the other's brow was beyond his imagination—immense and bottomless, like an abyss, more terrifying than the entire millennia-old accumulation of the Ancient Hua Dynasty.
Needless to say, this Combat Saint King from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms definitely had control over an extremely fearsome force, perhaps even more powerful than the Ancient Hua Dynasty; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to hold so much Power of Faith.
The other came well-prepared, and merely with this Power of Faith, he was unassailable, though it had been deeply concealed all along. It's a pity that the strong ones of the Three Great Imperial Dynasties are clueless, still foolishly believing that his Heavenly King Ancestor has the means to kill the Combat Saint King.
It must be acknowledged that the other's cunning was something to be sighed at, something not meant to be possessed by a young junior.
What truly made him wary was that Daoist Treasure Tower flowing with Chaos Ancient Energy, thirty-three stories high, so extraordinary. At the first sight, his pupils had shrunk into needlepoints, with disbelief emerging.
For he recalled a legend too ancient to trace back in time.
He remembered an ancient myth that nearly led to the destruction of the entire Ancient Emperor Realm, in that distant Taichu Era.
This mysterious Chaos Tower had once appeared, playing the most crucial role.
"Ancestor!"
At this moment, the Ancient Hua Emperor and a group of imperial powerhouses cried out, awakening the Ancient Hua Heavenly King from contemplation.
Immediately, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King made a shocking decision: "Cease all battles at once. No one is allowed to lay a hand on this young friend; otherwise, the clan law will severely punish!"
Evidently, everyone was stunned, originally expecting the Ancient Hua Heavenly King to strike down the arrogant Combat Saint King, but unexpectedly, the battle was ordered to stop, with clan law as a threat.
Clan law, naturally directed at royal members of the Ancient Hua Dynasty, is exceedingly strict, with hardly anyone daring to defy it.
Everyone was dumbfounded; what on earth was happening, why had everything changed so quickly, leaving people unable to react?
"Ancestor——"
Led by the Ancient Hua Emperor, a group of imperial Saints, and even several Old Immortals came forward, questioning the actions of the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, carrying anger and resentment.
They were already at defiance with the Combat Saint King; such a golden opportunity couldn't be missed, they should rather strike with full force and obliterate him—could it be that the Heavenly King Ancestor was afraid?
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King's voice turned cold, and the temperature across the entire Imperial City plummeted sharply. His icy gaze swept over the strong ones, instantly making them feel bone-chilling cold, as if plunged into a frozen cellar, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
"Young friend, this way please."
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King spoke, trying to maintain an equal tone, inviting Ye Chen to the deepest Heavenly Que Palace within the Ancient Hua Palace.
Ye Chen nodded, stepped forward, and was accompanied by the Ancient Hua Heavenly King. The fact that they walked side by side startled everyone, for from a certain perspective, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King regarded the Combat Saint King as an equal, which seemed impossible.
The strong ones from the Three Great Imperial Dynasties were terrified, especially when the Ancient Hua Heavenly King sent a message: "From now on, the Ancient Hua Royal Family is not to provoke the Combat Saint King again, for his strength is not inferior to mine."
The faint message was like a thunderclap to the Ancient Hua Royal Family, and it was as if they had narrowly escaped death, with beads of cold sweat covering the backs of the Saints, their faces pale.
Is the Combat Saint King a Heavenly King?
The strong ones of the Changhua Empire and the Liuxia Empire were even more frightened, not daring to linger any longer; hurriedly saying their farewells, they tore through the void directly, leaving with a look of despair, as if they had heard the most terrifying news.
All of this was centered around the Combat Saint King.
Yet everything remained veiled in mystery.
Led by the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, the two entered a crucial treasure pavilion—a place reserved for the most precious guests, where even a Heavenly King would be treated no differently.
Some had already presented precious Dao Tea. Ye Chen, familiar with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only needed a whiff to discern the tea cup's contents, which was Enlightenment Tea—a rare Dao Tea beneficial for comprehending the world, barely found even throughout the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.
Ye Chen sipped lightly, and many wondrous insights suddenly emerged in his Sea of Consciousness, enhancing his sensitivity to the world considerably.
But that was all, for he had the Power of Faith, which kept him in this state almost at all times, thus it was not of great novelty to him.
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King naturally understood the wonders of the Power of Faith, feeling ever more genuine admiration for the young Combat Saint King before him.
This person is not something to be confined to a small pond; once encountering the winds and clouds, he transforms into a dragon.
Ye Chen put down the Dao Tea, looked directly at the Ancient Hua Heavenly King: "I attacked the Ancient Hua Dynasty at all costs this time, forcing you to come out, because I have some matters to discuss with you and wish to understand certain things. As a condition of exchange, I can also answer some of your questions, such as that one."
He pointed to the floating Human Emperor Tower above his head.
