Chapter 803: The Submission of the Heavenly King
"What?"
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King was taken aback and immediately shook his head, "A person like the Heavenly King has already surpassed reincarnation, how could they be willing to follow a junior? No matter how great the potential, they would not submit, at most they would become acquaintances."
"But when someone's power reaches an unimaginable level, all this can be easily solved." Ye Chen said softly, with a stream of crystalline power of faith flowing from his forehead.
This, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King was already aware of, though he was somewhat wary. However, that power of faith may prevent him from harming Ye Chen, yet it could hardly harm a Heavenly King like him.
If he intended to use this power of faith to coerce him into submission, it was simply impossible.
Not to mention that this power of faith was entirely insufficient to reach that step, and most importantly, the power of faith was ultimately external; some depletion is some depletion, whereas his Heavenly King power could draw from the world, nearly inexhaustible.
He sneered, "Little friend, you think you can completely suppress me with just this bit of power of faith? Although it exceeds what my Ancient Hua Dynasty has accumulated over the millennia, it's merely just that, how could it achieve the unimaginable level you speak of."
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King couldn't believe Ye Chen couldn't see through this.
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Ye Chen smiled a little, and the next moment, the smile on the Ancient Hua Heavenly King's face suddenly froze, because he felt from Ye Chen's body, an undeniably vast power, far surpassing that of faith, continuously overflowing.
Such a majestic power could surely be described as earth-shaking and ghost-weeping, making the entire Treasure Pavilion tremble.
If not for Ye Chen's deliberate control, the pavilion would have surely shattered at the first moment, impacting the outside.
"Ancient Hua Heavenly King, what if I add these powers?"
A thread of divine light appeared on Ye Chen's fingertip, clearly a radiant seven-colored brilliance, reflecting rivers and mountains above it, heavy beyond compare, not weaker than Chaos Ancient Energy, causing the void to twist and collapse.
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King, a Heavenly King himself, was seen as experienced and knowledgeable, gasping suddenly, "It's the World Power, and so much of it at that."
He could see that within Ye Chen, a hazy Light Gate appeared, with surging World Power constantly releasing, giving him a terrifying sense of oppression.
This sense of oppression was something he had only felt on someone from the distant Ancient Times before he was sealed.
That person, however, was an earth-shattering Ancient Great Power.
Ye Chen waved his sleeve, and suddenly a scene appeared, it was an expansive and magnificent world.
There was a boundless continent not weaker than the Ancient God Continent, with the most prosperous Supreme Sacred Sect, an immense territory with billions of people, numerous forbidden lands of the Demon Race, and strong Heavenly Kings sitting on the Holy Sect Altar, ruling the world...
Scenes kept unfolding, all expressing that it was a powerful world, though not yet comparable to the Ancient God Continent, but there were Heavenly Kings, and not just one.
Finally, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King saw a heart-shocking picture, an imposing young man appeared, sitting on the highest Divine Throne of that world, overlooking the Great World Heaven and Earth, with the Five Great Heavenly Kings bowing to him.
That person exuded supreme majesty of the lord of all heavens, and was clearly the Combat Saint King in front of him.
"You, you are..."
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King looked at Ye Chen in shock, although he knew this Combat Saint King was extraordinary, he never expected it to such an extent.
Ye Chen nodded with a smile, "That's right, I am the World Master, the owner of a King Great World. Do you think now I am qualified to have you follow me?"
The World Gate within him grew ever stronger, its brilliance emanating continuously, almost crushing the heavens, but well contained within this Treasure Pavilion.
Yet no matter how good the material of the Treasure Pavilion, with numerous array patterns carved upon it, it couldn't withstand it, and it began to internally disintegrate.
The Ancient Hua Heavenly King felt an unparalleled terrible oppression, as if countless ancient mountains were pressing down on him, rendering him immobile.
He wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the more he felt the terrible pressure, his entire body was cracking, seemingly about to shatter, his face exceptionally pale.
In the end, even his legs began to tremble, and he slowly bent down, ultimately falling to one knee, kneeling before Ye Chen in submission.
As if what stood before him wasn't a young Heavenly Pride at the Saintly Treasure Sixth Layer Heaven, but a Great Power from the Ancient Times, towering over the heavens and looking down upon him.
To either follow or die!
The forehead of the Ancient Hua Heavenly King was covered in sweat, and word by word he spoke with difficulty, "I am willing!"
As soon as the words fell, that vast oppressive sense immediately retreated like a tide, vanishing into the World Gate within Ye Chen.
Everything dissipated.
Ye Chen stood up from the throne and came before the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, gently helping him up, saying, "Ancient Hua, I believe you will sincerely feel honored for today's choice in the future."
Thus, under Ye Chen's semi-coercion, the Ancient Hua Heavenly King became the first Heavenly King to follow Ye Chen in the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Though the primary reason was still the power of faith and World Power, Ye Chen did not fear the Ancient Hua Heavenly King's future regret, because each Heavenly King was proud, a pride stemming from the depths of their heart.
To have cultivated to this point step by step, each was a dragon among men, their pride often meant once they acknowledged something, they wouldn't oppose it.
Moreover, Ye Chen had no fear of a Heavenly King's regret, possessing enough means to suppress.
After subduing the Ancient Hua Heavenly King, Ye Chen did not stay further, not even having the interest to look through the ancient secrets of the Ancient Hua Dynasty, turning and leaving the cracked Treasure Pavilion, appearing above the Imperial City, under the gaze of countless people.
Because the world was closely watching, curious about what the Combat Saint King and the Ancient Hua Heavenly King discussed inside the Treasure Pavilion.
But the world could not sense the dialogue between the two, not even the Saint, only knowing that later there appeared a faintly perceivable vast Divine Power in the Treasure Pavilion, everyone thought perhaps the two were confronting each other inside.
Even the powerhouses of the Three Great Imperial Dynasties joyfully thought that the Heavenly King Ancestor might strike, forcefully killing this arrogant young supreme.
However, when the Combat Saint King appeared unharmed above the Imperial City, all conjectures became illusions, unrealized.
No confrontation, he retreated intact!
