Chapter 940: Brothers Fighting Side by Side
"You seem to misunderstand something. The Human Emperor Tower is mine, not the so-called Human Clan's. Don't try to justify it with useless ethics. I have no intention of handing over the Human Emperor Tower, understand?"
These words clearly explicated the situation and severed ties with the Human Clan.
Many Human Clan experts were furious; this was simply treachery, to disregard the clan and utter such words.
Even the experts from the other two clans were shocked, clearly not expecting Ye Chen to make such earth-shattering statements.
Among those present, only Peacock King and Di Wuming's expressions remained unchanged—one knew Ye Chen's true identity, the other knew Ye Chen hailed from beyond the Ancient Emperor Realm.
Ye Chen echoed this sentiment, for the so-called Human Clan here was merely a small part of the Human Clan on the Ancient Emperor Continent. How could it be considered the Human Clan?
The Human Clan on the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms is the true Human Clan, with populations and territories much vaster than those on the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Even they have no right to demand Ye Chen hand over the Human Emperor Tower, let alone the pitiful Human Clan of the Ancient Emperor Continent attempting to use moral righteousness to compel Ye Chen to surrender it. It's simply delusional.
Such moral coercion is what Ye Chen most detests.
How could he possibly give it up?
Beast Venerable Wan Shan laughed heartily, "King Tongxuan, you have truly miscalculated."
King Tongxuan's expression changed repeatedly, his tone bitter, "Ye Chen, do you really intend to abandon the Human Clan and occupy such a Human Clan treasure alone? Aren't you afraid of the Human Clan divines of the nine heavens knowing and descending to mortal world to attack you?"
Ye Chen faced him, an instant surge in momentum ruptured the Heavenly Universe, approaching cold and unfeeling, "At this point, spare me the pretentious moral righteousness. You simply covet the Human Emperor Tower; talking nonsense isn't necessary. Had you genuine intentions, you shouldn't act like this but invite me cordially into the Human Clan Territory, treat me sincerely, and not dream of occupying the Human Emperor Tower, thinking nothing of it."
"If the Human Clan faces trouble, as a member, I will naturally take action. Now trying moral coercion for me to surrender the Human Emperor Tower? Get as far away as possible."
"Don't think I'm afraid; worst case, start a battle right now. I've been besieged by more than ten Heavenly Kings before, yet killed my way out and even eliminated one along the way. Do you think I fear the so-called Reincarnation Supreme who isn't even a Heavenly King now, and wouldn't dare kill you?"
"Even if you are Human Clan, so what? I'll kill you without further ado. I've slain many such wolves in sheep's clothing."
His calm words were filled with an overwhelming dominance, shaking everyone threefold.
Once besieged by more than ten Divine-level Heavenly Kings, not only surviving but also slaying one en route.
What kind of concept is this? Such combat prowess can only be attained by Heavenly Kings, even Super Experts of the Heavenly King Realm.
Did this legend truly achieve this step, or is he weaving a grand deceit?
Many were skeptical, yet his presence was peerless, unable to discern truth or falsehood. Di Wuming's eyes flashed more rapidly, for he knows Ye Chen indeed accomplished that, even finding it hard to believe himself.
Peacock King laughed heartily, naturally believing Ye Chen's words to be true, displaying the invincible Combat Saint King's strength and dominance, unparalleled.
"Slew a Heavenly King!"
Undeniably, King Tongxuan's face changed drastically, compared to being exposed for trying to occupy the supreme Chaos Treasure under the guise of Human Clan righteousness; this news was more shocking.
Because Heavenly Kings, for Reincarnation Supreme Powerhouses, are truly high and mighty invincibles; yet this mysterious legend escaped from a siege of more than ten Heavenly Kings, killing one along the way.
He didn't believe it, for let alone a Supreme Powerhouse, even Heavenly Kings could not achieve this; absolute death was certain.
Immediately, he concluded Ye Chen was merely lying.
"Quite the legend, do you think spouting grand words would make me believe you? Since you truly don't appreciate kindly, refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit."
King Tongxuan's Supreme Powerhouse aura intensified drastically, weighing down the nine realms, terrifyingly immense, tearing countless massive, dark spacetime fissures across the void in every inch available.
"What are you, merely a shameless old ghost."
Ye Chen turned, gazing coldly at Beast Venerable Wan Shan, "Old ghost, don't lurk in the shadows. If you dare, face me now in battle, a life-and-death duel. Do you dare?"
All saints were shaken; the legend was too forceful, challenging a supreme Human Clan expert, King Tongxuan wasn't enough, also taunting Beast Venerable Wan Shan.
Boom—
Beast Venerable Wan Shan unleashed his powerful Supreme Powerhouse aura again, sweeping across the firmament; at this moment, two supreme powerhouses stood together.
Ye Chen was fearless, with Peacock King stood beside him, causing the two supreme powerhouses' expressions to slightly alter, King Tongxuan roaring louder, "Peacock King, this is among Human Clan affairs, irrelevant to you. Leave unless you wish to court trouble!"
Peacock King sneered coldly, "Human Clan my foot; you shameless King Tongxuan bringing in Old Monster Wan Shan, can I not assist my brother? Ridiculous."
Evidently, Peacock King's action rendered the situation even more awkward.
"Hahaha—" Ye Chen laughed heartily, his black hair wildly dancing fiercely, intensely bold, with boundless heroism, saying, "Peacock King, it's been so long since we brothers fought side by side."
"Indeed, decades have passed; turning back it's been dozens of years. Then while battling side by side, we were royally hailed demigods." Peacock King laughed heartily as well, historically cold and merciless, yet only before true life-and-death brothers did he reveal such expression.
Joining forces with an old friend in battle stirred infinite heroism within him, wanting to freely express.
Two young supreme powerhouses, despite the years, are relatively young, while now reunited after decades, standing together again was rare.
"Act now."
Ye Chen uttered but a single phrase, forcefully initiating action, soaring skyward into the fray, commencing extreme strikes.
No words necessary, showcasing strength, demonstrating dominance, Ye Chen revealed without reservation.
He raised an arm, emitting dazzling Golden Blood Radiance, erupting through nine-layered clouds, sweeping across Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, shaking the Nine-layered Firmament.
His attack indiscriminately targeted both Beast Venerable Wan Shan and King Tongxuan, the two reincarnation-level supreme powerhouses simultaneously.
