Eternal Holy Emperor

Who can accept this?

The many Heroic Lord-level figures who came to the Ancient God City all secretly shook their heads. They are all heroes of an area, even leaders of a great sect, ruling over a region, with all spirits bowing down.

And now, to become subordinates and follow someone else's orders, who would be willing?

The Heroic Lord who spoke first spoke the mind of all the Heroic Lords.

Behind Ye Chen, Elder Tianmei Xuan looked at this scene with a sneer. He had a grudge with Ye Chen, and even though the other had become an Elder like him, it couldn't change.

However, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "You, or all of you, what do you want?"

Is this considered a compromise?

Many people looked at Ye Chen in surprise, as it was not his usual style.

"I think everyone should act on their own, without interference from each other, that would be best," that person said.

"Fine, okay." Ye Chen agreed readily, leaving people astonished, even that Heroic Lord was a bit dumbfounded, clearly not daring to believe Ye Chen's straightforwardness.

Then Ye Chen continued, "From now on, you are no longer one of us, and you can cross the Chaos Sea alone without any limitation from me. Additionally, others who are unwilling can also leave now, and I won't hinder any of it."

Shock!

The whole city was dumbstruck, and that Heroic Lord turned pale: "Combat Saint King, what is the meaning of this?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen glanced at him, "As you said, giving you no limitation, the best method is for you to cross the Chaos Sea by yourself. Isn't that good?"

"You—" That Heroic Lord was red-faced and almost spat blood.

He painstakingly sought freedom, wanted to challenge the Combat Saint King, unwilling to be under someone else's command, yet unexpectedly, the Combat Saint King directly expelled him, making his efforts go to waste.

He hurriedly explained, "Combat Saint King, you misunderstood me. I wanted everyone to cross the Chaos Sea together, but during this, you should not restrict our freedom, that's all."

"Idiot." Ye Chen directly spat a word that angered the other to the point of spitting blood, leaving everyone in the city dumbstruck, not expecting the Combat Saint King to actually curse someone.

"You—" That Heroic Lord was so angry that he was about to roar, but in an instant, a terrifying aura spread out, originating from the Combat Saint King, high above, looking down on mortals like ants from the Divine Land, causing his whole body to tremble with fear.

"What do you think you are, to negotiate with me?"

Ye Chen said coldly, utterly disdainful, then his gaze turned into the brightest radiance sweeping over the Ancient God City, his voice was more deafening than the thunder of the nine heavens—

"I know you Heroic Lords are all very unyielding under my leadership, very unwilling, and very reluctant to accept my rules. But—your choices are only two."

"Either you follow me, get on the ship, and cross the Chaos Sea together. I can ensure your safety to the best possible extent during the crossing."

"Or you go on your own, of course, you can also organize some people to cross, I will not oppose this, nor will I target anyone."

"But don't think too highly of yourselves. Heroic Lord? Saint? Want to threaten me like that?"

"I've killed more Saints than I can count on one hand, not afraid of any Heavenly King, have even faced off against the Ancient God Palace Master, and was recognized as an Elder by the Ancient God Palace. Do you think you can threaten me? I will not accept any threats, and I don't mind nipping any source of threat in the bud. You can try."

When his words fell, the entire city fell into dead silence, so quiet a pin drop could be heard.

Even if they didn't want to admit it, they had to acknowledge, the Combat Saint King was too domineering, and had the qualifications to be domineering, he could disregard all threats.

Heroic Lord, Saint of the world, they did not matter to him, nor could they threaten him.

He is the invincible Combat Saint King, the guest of honor in the Nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties, also the most exalted and powerful Elder of the Ancient God Palace, truly with world-overwhelming power, overlooking the human world.

The Heroic Lord whose name Ye Chen didn't even know, felt utterly humiliated, but seeing the Combat Saint King not even sparing him a glance, he furiously turned and left.

Eventually, Ye Chen still didn't bother to spare a serious look at him, and looked towards the other Heroic Lords, "Anyone else want to leave?"

Leave?

All heroes gave a bitter smile, though they were reluctant to follow someone else's command from the bottom of their hearts, yet if they wanted to cross the Chaos Sea, what other option was there but to follow the Combat Saint King?

Indeed to cross all alone? If it was possible, would there still be so many gathered in the Ancient God City?

The scene was silent, no sound at all.

Seeing no one among the gathered heroes leaving, Ye Chen stood high above Ancient God City, bathed in splendid golden radiance, accompanied by the phantom silhouettes of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, with several Divine Lotus blooming in the void, looking down like a Divine King, inspiring awe and reverence.

His voice resonated over the Ancient God City, echoing thousands of miles: "I, Combat Saint King, gather the heroes of the world in Ancient God City today, to cross the Chaos Sea with me, heading towards the most mysterious and most desirable Ancient Emperor Continent."

"Legend has it, there exists the Immortal Elixir of eternal life, the Divine Treasures left by the Ancient Divine Land, the pinnacle fruit of the Dao, the peerless immortals unlike any seen before, immortals gazing down the world and foreseeing ancient future, the secret to becoming an Immortal, the Emperor's inheritance..."

"That is the Ancient Emperor Continent, an ancient land filled with endless mysteries throughout ages, the mysterious land that countless ancestors have pursued tirelessly over countless years, even larger than the Ancient God Continent, burying endless Divine Treasures, with powerful Ancient Clans."

"It is the place to seek Dao and find immortality, also the land of eternal life and immortality!"

Ye Chen wasn't a speechmaker, but the scenes painted between his words captured the imagination, stirred the blood.

"Today, I, Combat Saint King, intend to lead you to set forth for the Ancient Emperor Continent. The journey will mean crossing the frightful Chaos Sea, fraught with hardship, full of countless dangers, even life and death. But I hope you can endure it, because please trust, crossing over, is the start of everything wonderful."

"Eternal life? Reach the Dao's peak? Seek out immortality? Explore the ancient emperor's ruins? Everything is possible!"

"Gentlemen, let me boldly ask, would you like to join me, explore new worlds, head to a new continent, in pursuit of all that is wonderful?"

His voice thundered down, his gaze swept through all people, touching hearts, rallying countless responses in Divine City.

"Willing!"

One after another, boiling blood qi exploded, countless blood qi erupted to the heavens, shaking heaven and earth, extremely stirring the heart.
