Eternal Holy Emperor

Faced with the sudden realization that the Supreme Emperor's Weapon they envisioned already had an owner, Beast Venerable Wan Shan and the supreme powerhouses of the Human Clan couldn't stand it. They had come through great difficulties and even destroyed the Divine-level Holy Shadow, all to compete for the Human Emperor Tower, only to find it had belonged to someone from the start.

"Kid, release the mark. This is not yours to have."

Beast Venerable Wan Shan roared, charging forward with a vast amount of Blood Qi exploding around him, engulfing the surroundings as he plunged into madness and endless anger.

"Hmph!" Before Ye Chen could act, the Peacock King intervened, immediately casting a force of Void Power to enshroud the area, halting the attack of Beast Venerable Wan Shan, and sneered coldly, "Truly laughable words, it's not Qian Yue's, is it yours? If you don't want to die, then get lost."

The words were equally domineering, much like Qian Yue's.

The atmosphere was incredibly tense, nearly on the verge of igniting at any moment, with heaven and earth on the brink of initial disintegration, about to be completely unraveled.

Amid this tense situation, Emperor Wuming suddenly withdrew, maneuvering the Swallowing Sky Cauldron.

This scene caught everyone's attention, all puzzled.

Even Ye Chen and the Peacock King were somewhat bewildered; could it be that Emperor's son Wuming would proactively retreat at this point?

"The Human Emperor Tower is his, it's already recognized its owner, it can't be contested for." Emperor Wuming stated.

"So what if it recognized a master, you can kill him and seize it." Beast Venerable Wan Shan replied sinisterly, filled with chilling killing intent.

The supreme powerhouses of the Human Clan also harbored hostility.

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged while the Peacock King smirked coldly. Their demeanor greatly irritated Beast Venerable Wan Shan, for they clearly held the absolute advantage here, and Qian Yue and others should be feeling fear and panic instead.

But they weren't, what was this?

Emperor Wuming said blandly, "If you have the ability, I can hold off the Peacock King, allowing you to strike at Qian Yue. As for King Tongxuan, are you sure you want to make a move against Qian Yue? After all, he is also a member of the Human Clan. Moreover, opposing Qian Yue is of no benefit to the Human Clan."

"So it's Lord King Tongxuan!"

At this point, the Saints of the Human Clan realized that the supreme powerhouse who came was King Tongxuan, one of the strongest beings standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid within the Human Clan.

Though King Tongxuan bore considerable hostility towards Ye Chen, he shook his head and said, "I don't want to strike at him, but I hope he voluntarily hands over the Chaos Treasure to us, for the Human Clan's higher-ups to safeguard. That would be best."

Then he faced Ye Chen with a solemn expression and said, "Qian Yue, though you are strong, you are ultimately just one person, and the Demon Race and Beast Clan have more than one supreme powerhouse. Although your strength is formidable, it's feared that you cannot truly protect such a Chaos Treasure on your own. Why not entrust it to my Human Clan for safekeeping? This way, not only is it much safer, but it also greatly enhances the overall strength of the Human Clan, wouldn't that be better? If you join the Human Clan's higher-ups, you can also gain the usage rights of the Chaos Treasure."

These words were said with great sincerity, starting from the interest of the Human Clan, and also taking into account Ye Chen's personal safety, prompting many Saints of the Human Clan to nod, acknowledging this as the best course of action overall.

Beast Venerable Wan Shan immediately glared angrily at the supreme powerhouses of the Human Clan, shouting, "King Tongxuan, do your Human Clan really intend to seize it? Our Beast Clan will not give up easily."

King Tongxuan responded coldly, "Beast Venerable Wan Shan, are you intending to make a move against my Human Clan? Don't assume that victories of the Ancient Times represent everything. Now, my Human Clan is not afraid, there are also Divines in the Nine Heavens, at worst a battle between the two clans. Moreover, now my Human Clan's supreme powerhouses hold the advantage, do you still want to continue the fight?"

Beast Venerable Wan Shan looked at the supreme powerhouses of the Human Clan, then at Ye Chen. With two supreme powerhouses present, his Beast Clan had no advantage, and with a cold grunt, he could only avoid their edge.

Though at this intersection of races, he didn't believe the Human Clan would be so bold as to dare strike against him; if that were to happen, he could indeed summon a few supreme powerhouses of the Beast Clan, at worst it would be a grand battle between the two clans.

Soon after, King Tongxuan looked towards Ye Chen, smiling: "Then Qian Yue, may I ask you to temporarily hand over the Chaos Treasure so that I can bring it back to the Human Clan's main land for safekeeping."

The Peacock King stood by coldly, her beautiful and elegant face exuding a certain kind of expression, seemingly a cold smile, but remained silent, making the atmosphere at the scene somewhat odd.

Ye Chen, however, did not hand it over, only looking at Emperor Wuming in the distance and asked, "Will you still make a move?"

Emperor Wuming laughed with a carefree demeanor, carrying an otherworldly Immortal Energy, detached like one of superior and unsullied, and said, "Rest assured, our battle is over, I no longer have the impulse to fight, only I'm looking forward to the day you break the Principle Chains."

"Good." Ye Chen said; from beginning to end, who he was mostly cautious of was just Emperor Wuming.

At this moment, the supreme powerhouses of the Human Clan detected something amiss and said in a deep voice, "Qian Yue, are you really unwilling to hand over the Chaos Treasure to be safeguarded by my Human Clan's higher-ups?"

"Why should I hand it over?" Ye Chen retorted.

King Tongxuan replied sternly, "Naturally, it's to enhance the overall strength of us Human Clan. With this Supreme Daoist Weapon in hand, my Human Clan gains another force that intimidates the world, and the Chaos Treasure would receive greater protection, isn't this better?"

"The idea indeed sounds good." Ye Chen nodded, which prompted a smile of joy at the corner of King Tongxuan's mouth, but it soon stiffened as Ye Chen added a sentence, "But what does that have to do with me?"

What does that have to do with me!?

The four words echoed in King Tongxuan's ears like a clap of thunder, even Beast Venerable Wan Shan was taken aback.

The Saints beyond the Hundred Battle Mountain Range were all stunned, what is this?

Emperor Wuming's expression didn't change, just watching all of this with great interest, purely for amusement.

King Tongxuan's expression changed drastically: "Qian Yue, are you not willing to consider the broader interests of my Human Clan? Do you wish to take sole possession of this Chaos Treasure?"

The Saints who had already left the Hundred Battle Mountain Range watched nervously through the Heavenly Eye.

"Take sole possession? Truly laughable, clearly it's my treasure, yet you say I'm taking sole possession, are you sure your head wasn't caught in a door?" Ye Chen responded coldly, "And what if it's for the broader interests of the Human Clan? What does it have to do with me? Why should I hand over my Human Emperor Tower to you so-called higher-ups of the Human Clan for safekeeping?"

"You seem to have misunderstood something, the Human Emperor Tower is mine, not some so-called part of the Human Clan. Don't give me all this useless morality, I won't be handing the Human Emperor Tower over, understood?"
