Eternal Holy Emperor

The powerful figures of the Changhua Dynasty also knew they were in the wrong. The current emperor even spoke personally, saying, "I am unaware of what the Saint King desires, but as long as you do not act against our dynasty, all conditions can be considered."

"Very well, since you speak so agreeably, I won't ask for too much. Two ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures, one hundred Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, three hundred jin of Heavenly King Level refining divine materials, two Heavenly King Level scriptures, three million jin of Spirit Stones, ten million jin of amethyst ore..."

Ye Chen opened his mouth and demanded exorbitant prices, and with each demand, the expressions of the powerful figures of the Changhua Dynasty grew more grim. When he finally asked for the imperial cultivation ancient scriptures, their faces fell.

This was the very foundation of strength for the entire dynasty; how could it be allowed to fall into someone else's hands?

Yet, when they saw the expressionless Combat Saint King outside the Imperial City, who had even taken out the Human Emperor Tower, although they were furious, their hearts were filled with bitterness.

This was because the fate of the Ancient Hua Dynasty would be their fate as well. They did not believe that the Combat Saint King, who could not be dealt with even by the joint efforts of the three great dynasties' powerful figures in the Ancient Hua Imperial City, let alone when the Ancient Hua Heavenly King appeared personally, would fall here to the Changhua Dynasty.

If the opponent remained blocking outside the Imperial City, then the entire Hua Imperial City would have to maintain the operation of the Heavenly King Level Defense Array enshrouding the entire city at all times.

Such a formation consumed tremendous resources every moment. Even with the dynasty's resources, it could barely be maintained for a month.

But without it, aside from the sleeping Heavenly King Ancestor, who in the dynasty could be a match for the Combat Saint King? Even the Saint Lord would be crushed like a mere chick.

The numerous powerful figures throughout the dynasty were filled with bitterness. At this point, apart from waking up the slumbering ancestor of the dynasty, there were no other solutions.

As for seeking assistance from other dynasties?

Who would be so foolish as to willingly provoke the Combat Saint King? That battle in the Ancient Hua Dynasty was already swiftly known by the powerful figures of other dynasties. They barely had time to curry favor, let alone to provoke him, which would be pure suicide.

As for the Ancient Divine Palace?

It has always been lofty, beyond ordinary concerns. The current emperor had attempted communication for aid, but after half a day without any response, it was clear they were unwilling to meddle.

Even the Ancient Divine Palace didn't want to provoke him, which says a lot.

In the end, the Changhua Emperor took the initiative to awaken the Heavenly King Ancestor. Otherwise, such compensation, no matter the dynasty's foundations, would cause heartache. Only the hope that the ancestor's appearance would make the Combat Saint King somewhat wary remained.

Half a day later, the Heavenly King Ancestor finally awoke from the deepest slumber. Initially somewhat confused, but after understanding everything, he remained silent for a long time and unexpectedly made a decision that left all the powerful figures of the Changhua Dynasty in shock.

He agreed to the Combat Saint King's demands for compensation and activated the grand formation, inviting the Combat Saint King into the inner hall, as he had matters to discuss.

Although the decision of the Heavenly King Ancestor was shocking, his decision overruled all others, as he held the highest authority within the dynasty. No one had the right to oppose.

The Combat Saint King was invited in, entering the deepest Treasure Pavilion. Much like with the Ancient Hua Dynasty, no one knew what they were discussing.

There was even suspicion that the Changhua Heavenly King intentionally lured the Combat Saint King inside to suppress or even kill him.

Unfortunately, all speculations were shattered. Half a day later, the Combat Saint King emerged from the palace, having acquired all the treasures he demanded, and departed calmly.

Though the powerful figures in the dynasty were all stunned, the Changhua Heavenly King personally declared that in the future, the Combat Saint King would be a distinguished guest of the Changhua Dynasty. Should he make any requests, the Changhua Dynasty must provide assistance immediately.

This command caused a massive uproar throughout the Changhua Dynasty, leaving everyone speechless.

Even the Changhua Emperor and a dozen high-ranking members of the royal family sought answers outside the Treasure Pavilion, but the Changhua Heavenly King remained silent, seemingly returning to his slumber.

Similarly, in another region, the Liuxia Dynasty faced the same situation, being coerced by the Combat Saint King, who appeared directly outside their capital city, issuing threats.

In the end, they too faced exorbitant demands and the resurrected Heavenly King Ancestor voluntarily invited him deep within for negotiations.

As for what transpired, the world remained in the dark, only knowing that the Combat Saint King left with a mysterious smile.

Naturally, all of the Combat Saint King's requests had to be fulfilled immediately by the entire dynasty, his status even superior to the emperor, causing a significant stir within the royal family.

But no one dared to defy the Heavenly King Ancestor's command.

These events also sparked widespread attention across the Ancient God Continent, rapidly spreading at an astonishing pace.

Even the battle situation in the Ancient Hua Imperial City was recorded in a Recording Crystal, circulating throughout the Ancient God Continent, elevating the invincible reputation of the Combat Saint King even further.

As for what transpired during the secret negotiations with the Heavenly Kings of the three great dynasties, it remained a subject of curiosity worldwide.

But since the involved parties remained silent, no one knew.

After leaving the Liuxia Dynasty, Ye Chen proceeded to other dynasties, including the Tianxu Dynasty, which he had visited before. Facing the returning Combat Saint King, they hastily expressed their stance, having no intention to act against the Combat Saint King, nor were they willing to.

Because no dynasty wished to confront such a world-class enemy, feared even by the Heavenly King Ancestors, as the Combat Saint King—definitely a disaster to deal with.

The Ancient Hua Dynasty served as the best example. After a single battle, they suffered heavy losses, their Primordial Energy severely depleted, plunging them into a low ebb for at least a millennium, unable to maintain the dynasty's former strength.

Of course, it's only a millennium, and the dynasty's status wouldn't waver. As long as the Heavenly King Ancestor remained undying, he continued to be a massive deterrent over the world. Who would dare confront him?

Ye Chen showed no arrogance before the might of the three great dynasties, descending peacefully to the ground and personally discussing matters with the Tianxu Emperor, speaking rather diplomatically, allowing the Tianxu Emperor to exhale a sigh of relief.

A touch of fear lingered too, thankful for not participating in that battle. Otherwise, their current meeting would likely involve conflict, with the dynasty at a disadvantage.

All because those with bare feet aren't afraid of those in shoes.

Soon, Ye Chen plainly stated his intention, hoping to meet with the Heavenly King Ancestor of the Tianxu Dynasty for important discussions.

Though the Tianxu Emperor secretly wondered, he dared not delay. He invited Ye Chen to wait a moment while other high-ranking princes welcomed him into the palace. He personally went to rouse the slumbering ancestor.

Shortly after, a response from the Heavenly King was received, granting permission and inviting the Combat Saint King into the hall for discussions.

What was discussed remained unknown, but not long after, the Treasure Pavilion where the talks took place suddenly exploded, emitting endless Sky Light. The roar of the Tianxu Heavenly King echoed through the heavens: "Impossible!"
