Chapter 868: If You Seek Death, I'll Grant It to You!
He spoke directly, intending to seal the physical body of the Combat Saint King left in the Martial Arts Temple Square the moment he saw it.
"This child is neither a disciple of our Ancient Divine Palace nor an invited guest, yet he brazenly stole the various martial arts divine powers left by previous Saints in our Martial Arts Divine Stone Space. This is a grave crime, unforgivable, and must be sealed. He must not be allowed to leave the Ancient Divine Palace with this knowledge."
Tianmei Xuan Elder directly placed a heavy accusation on Ye Chen, unforgivable, and immediately took action, his large hand reaching towards the golden body left by Ye Chen in the Martial Arts Temple Square.
But at this moment, a figure appeared like lightning, arriving before Ye Chen's physical body, striking out with a palm, accompanied by five divine lights erupting, various dao mark runes quickly extinguishing and flashing.
It was Cang Jitian, erupting with Five Elements Divine Light, though somewhat overpowered by a Heavenly King's palm, he remained uninjured, quickly moving Ye Chen's physical body to a safe area, coldly sneering, "Old Immortal, you claim the Combat Saint King stole divine powers, calling it a grave crime. Laughable, do you have any evidence?"
Tianmei Xuan Elder was publicly scolded by Cang Jitian as 'Old Immortal' in front of so many people, his face immediately darkened, a terrifying Heavenly King's might released, making the void congeal, and he shouted, "Young one, do not assume that this old man dares not strike at you people from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms? Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand—"
Boom boom boom—
Before the words were finished, a series of immense saintly might exploded forth, sweeping over the Martial Arts Temple Square, causing the many experts below the Saint level within the Ancient Divine Palace to change their expressions drastically.
The Sun God, Yuan Yang God King, Ancient Demon God, Fengg Wu, Angel Prince Nuoxius, and other six Immortal True Kings all arrived beside Cang Jitian, each with an astonishing divine light pillar erupting from the top of their skulls, piercing the sky, suppressing the myriad daos as they appeared.
"You can try!" The Sun God shouted coldly, the blazing sun enveloping him becoming more and more intense and blinding, making it hard for many to open their eyes.
The seven Immortal True Kings, including the Ancient Demon God and Cang Jitian, each emitted limitless light, their divine power was grand and overwhelming, akin to seven ancient gods descending to the world, completely unfazed by Tianmei Xuan Elder's threat, ready to collide.
Though they were all wary of the Combat Saint King, and somewhat envious of his might, they had come to this unfamiliar Ancient Divine Palace; being from the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, they should unite, not allow themselves to be defeated one by one.
Moreover, the Combat Saint King held the title of an heir, of great righteousness, destined for significant use in the future, thus he must not be persecuted by the Heavenly Kings of the Ancient Divine Palace.
"Hmph, what if there are seven of you, even if you double the number, it would not be enough." Tianmei Xuan Elder snorted coldly, the Heavenly King's might blossoming beside him becoming increasingly terrifying, crashing into the sky, forcefully suppressing the seven holy light pillars, further ready to strike the seven of them.
Suddenly, Tianmei Xuan Elder's expression shifted, and the Heavenly King's might on his body quietly dissipated significantly, ceasing its oppression.
Because just a moment ago, within the clash of auras, he found himself experiencing a chilling sensation, emanating from the seven Immortal True Kings.
He finally understood; the seven Immortal True Kings each harbor forbidden secret treasures, likely secret treasures forged by ancient great powers, extraordinarily terrifying, causing even him to feel a thumping in his heart.
Other experts of the Ancient Divine Palace were puzzled, seeing the usually domineering Tianmei Xuan Elder suddenly weakening, not understanding why.
The other six Heavenly King Xuan Elders who had arrived all sensed a momentary terrifying aura flashing on the seven True Kings, their expressions growing heavy.
These Immortal True Kings were indeed extraordinary, all backed by supreme forces, with the protection of ancient great powers, causing all of them to be wary.
They also recalled Li Xuan's recounting of Ye Chen's words: should these Immortal True Kings all perish within the Ancient Divine Palace, it would spell a most dreadful calamity, utterly destructive for the entire Ancient Divine Palace.
Cang Jitian sneered coldly, "Old fellow, do you still dare to strike at us? It's hard for you to kill us, and should you attempt it, even in death, we could at least bring the entire Ancient Divine Palace with us to the grave, would you believe that?"
The words were alarmist but plainly stated, carrying a verifiable truth, imbuing them with caution towards the various precautions left by the ancient great powers on these people.
Tianmei Xuan Elder, being the most hot-tempered, said coldly, "At worst, we go to war, did the ancient era not see the warriors of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms driven out of this realm, unable to enter the Ancient Emperor Realm from then on, is there truly fear in this lifetime?"
This secret, revealed for the first time before the world, was so astonishing that it left everyone present dumbfounded.
For many, this was the first hearing of such an event, even these Immortal True Kings had never understood such things taking place in the Ancient Era.
"Tianmei!" the First Profound Elder intervened, his face stern: "This matter must not be mentioned again!"
Tianmei Xuan Elder snorted coldly, "Why, have you, too, become afraid of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms? Our Ancient God Continent once made all realms tremble with fear."
"Enough!" The First Profound Elder shouted sternly, his expression grim, the Heavenly King's might pressing forward, oppressive to the extreme, the void congealing entirely, leaving many experts unable to move.
Tianmei Xuan Elder let out a few cold laughs but ceased speaking.
The seven Immortal True Kings were perplexed but refrained from enquiring, merely standing before Ye Chen.
"You young friends, please stand down; none of us elders wish to make things difficult for you, but the Combat Saint King has inexplicably obtained so many of our Ancient Divine Palace's martial arts divine powers, all precious dao heritages, they cannot be taken away and must remain." The First Heavenly King Xuan Elder's expression appeared noticeably softer.
"He is qualified!" the Ancient Demon God's words were brief, "He is the heir of the Ancient Divine Palace!"
The experts of the Ancient Divine Palace changed their expressions, Tianmei Xuan Elder further shouted, "Nonsense, how could our Ancient Divine Palace be inherited by an outsider."
Fengg Wu, stunningly beautiful, spoke with a cool indifference, "The Combat Saint King defeated Guu Changsheng in the youth competition, seizing the heir position of the Ancient Divine Palace, rendering him eligible for all heritages."
These words were irrefutable because, in fact, Guu Changsheng had indeed lost, utterly, not only physically but in spirit as well, incomparable to the Combat Saint King.
Tianmei Xuan Elder spoke coldly, "Our Ancient Divine Palace does not recognize him as an heir, and today, no matter what, he must be sealed. Whoever dares to intervene will die!"
As his words fell, a palm was extended, the most fearsome Heavenly King's might quietly releasing, earth-shattering, spreading forward.
The seven True Kings snorted coldly, about to act in obstruction, but at that moment, a long, fair hand emerged, precisely blocking the Heavenly King Xuan Elder's palm, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, as a calm voice sounded: "Old Man Tianmei, if you seek death, I will grant it!"
The Combat Saint King, resurrected!
