Chapter 1156: Great Fiend, Zai!
"Ha ha, are you trying to scare me?" Ye Chen looked at Chu Xianzi, with a cold gleam in his eyes.
"I, I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just advising you, don't make a mistake!" Chu Xianzi's tone softened, Ye Chen's gaze was too terrifying, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, too afraid to provoke him further.
"Your fiancé is a great menace, this situation is troublesome, but I am not afraid at all!" Ye Chen said. "I've already fought with the Heavenly Dao, bearing the scars of it, I can fall at any time, so why would I fear someone coming to kill me?"
"If your fiancé doesn't come, that's fine, but if he dares to come seeking trouble, we'll perish together!" Ye Chen spoke firmly, as if he could risk his life for Chu Xianzi.
"You!" Chu Xianzi's face changed, she was truly somewhat panicked.
Ye Chen's state remained a mystery, and now speaking such words, it made it hard to discern truth from falsehood.
However, one thing was certain, Chu Xianzi was truly in for a hard time! Judging by Ye Chen's current demeanor, he clearly wanted the woman above all else!
"As long as I obtain the Ice Muscle Jade Body, it's worth dying for!"
Indeed, seeing Chu Xianzi's fear, Ye Chen burst into wild laughter, causing Chu Xianzi's complexion to turn pale.
"..."
Wang Ling saw this scene and immediately wanted to retreat, sneaking away quickly.
"Did I allow you to leave?" Ye Chen's cold voice echoed.
"Chu Xianzi has already been captured, what more do you want?" Wang Ling said angrily.
"She is she, you are you!" Ye Chen responded. "Earlier, when the eight Kings gathered, you were the most aggressive, the one most wanting to kill me, why not do it now?"
The eight defiant Kings gathered here, all wanting to seize Ye Chen's fortune, but Wang Ling was the most aggressive, repeatedly stirring up trouble, leaving a lasting impression on Ye Chen.
"We are all defiant Kings, born by fate, you've killed six and captured one, do you still want to kill me?" Wang Ling said with a grim expression. "The Heavenly Dao has already come for you once, didn't kill you, letting you linger on; if you dare to harm Heaven and Earth again, the Heavenly Dao will come for you!"
"But, I have already harmed Heaven and Earth, it doesn't make a difference with you!" Ye Chen said matter-of-factly.
Now is the era of great turmoil, where survival of the fittest prevails, and conflicts between the strong are generally not interfered with by the Heavenly Dao.
After all, only those who tread on blood and bone, laughing to the end, are qualified as the strongest, becoming support for the Heavenly Dao!
"..."
Seeing Ye Chen fearless, with a fierce aura, Wang Ling felt all hope lost, his face turning ashen, it's over!
"Ye Chen, you've crushed the Spirit Talisman, summoned my fiancé, you're finished!" At this moment, Chu Xianzi shouted, surprisingly laughing.
"Oh? Your fiancé is coming?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.
"Hmph, just wait and die!" Chu Xianzi sneered.
Escape! Escape! Escape!
Taking advantage of Ye Chen's distraction, Wang Ling's figure blurred, quickly fleeing.
"Ye Chen, you, a newly-ascended epic, dare act so recklessly, truly courting death!"
Suddenly, a roar came from the horizon, causing countless stars to shatter, the universe trembling along with it.
"Hmm?"
Seeing such power, Ye Chen's hairs stood on end. Because the arrival was no ordinary being, but an epic great menace!
"Zai!"
In the chaotic space-time, that elephant-headed great menace suddenly rose, showing a look of astonishment.
"Lord Zai!" Wang Ling sensed this atmosphere, his face filled with joy, and he proactively approached. "Lord Zai, you've finally appeared, Ye Chen has captured Chu Xianzi, please go and rescue her!"
The "Lord Zai" Wang Ling mentioned was Chu Xianzi's fiancé, a great menace overlooking the myriad realms!
"Useless! I've granted you invincible power, made you a defiant King, asked you to look after Chu Xianzi, and you flee fearing death, what use are you!"
A gigantic beast charged out from the void, filling this universe, exuding a tyrannical aura, shaking heaven and earth.
Moreover, this giant beast's murderous intent was too intense, appearing and immediately stepping towards Wang Ling, decisively killing a defiant King!
"Lord Zai, you..."
Seeing this scene, Wang Ling's face was full of disbelief and fear.
The reason Wang Ling became a defiant King was entirely because of the giant beast before him—Zai!
Zai personally nurtured him, made him a defiant King, why would he want to destroy him? Wang Ling couldn't believe it, wanting to ask clearly. However, as Zai's foot descended, it was unstoppable, directly crushing Wang Ling, both soul and spirit annihilated!
"Heaven, what kind of monster is this!"
Zai's appearance and slaughter caused many to inhale sharply, their hearts filled with shock.
Ye Chen's presence was too dazzling, attracting attention upon arrival, making many old creatures watch secretly.
However, just when everyone was about to withdraw their gaze, a prehistoric great beast appeared, roaring through the cosmos, shocking everyone.
This giant beast's body was too immense, filling the universe, stronger than some stars.
Moreover, the giant's aura was too powerful, making even the Great Saints' chests tighten, creating an indescribable oppression.
Terrifying!
This giant beast is too terrifying, its mere aura sweeping across heaven and earth, shaking the universe, it's undoubtedly an epic-level existence!
"This is Zai, an Innate Holy Spirit, a terrifying force that rampages across the universe!" At this moment, someone shouted in disbelief while looking at the epic beast.
The existence of an epic being was too mysterious, never having appeared publicly. If it weren't for the calamity of universe collapse descending, no one would know of such an existence!
But some ancient Great Saints, in their quest to understand the epic, pursued the great secrets of heaven and earth and found some traces, knowing about its existence!
The fierce beast before them had four hooves, wings on its back, a single horn on its head entwined with lightning, truly the invincible terror—Zai!
"Zai, Ye Chen caught me, trying to make me his bed-warming maid. Come quickly to save me!" Chu Xianzi saw Zai arrive and couldn't wait to call for help.
"Is he your fiancé?"
Seeing Zai, Ye Chen didn't feel frightened; instead, he was almost laughing.
Chu Xianzi, such a beautiful person, her fiancé turned out to be a beast, and such a large beast at that... Marrying and consummating their union would truly be a matter!
"He can transform into a human form!" Chu Xianzi blushed upon seeing Ye Chen's gaze.
"You really dare to marry!" Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh, unable to restrain himself.
"You bastard!" Ye Chen's mischievous laughter made Chu Xianzi both ashamed and angry, to the point of not wanting to face anyone.
Few know of Chu Xianzi's engagement to Zai, but everyone who knows reacts like Ye Chen.
Chu Xianzi is a prodigy among humans, while Zai is an Innate Holy Spirit; their physical appearances are vastly different. Them being together, married, having children, feels too bizarre.
Chu Xianzi also felt awkward and wanted to escape. But Zai is born an Innate Holy Spirit, an Innate terror; he couldn't easily change his strongest form. To end this awkwardness, Chu Xianzi would have to break the engagement... But that's Zai, the fiercest being in the universe; how could Chu Xianzi dare to break the engagement?
"If you hadn't met me, you'd have no choice but to marry Zai!" Ye Chen said. "But now that you've met me, your fate changes! You're my bed-warming maid, and no one can take you away!"
"Uh..."
Even though knowing Ye Chen was ill-intentioned, Chu Xianzi was stunned because Ye Chen seemed too determined when he spoke!
For a moment, Chu Xianzi's heart wavered, feeling Ye Chen more agreeable than her fiancé.
"Ye Chen, release Chu Xianzi and admit your mistake by bowing, and I might spare your life!"
Zai arrived, his wings flapping, lifting the surrounding stars; the whole universe was purified void.
"Zai!"
Ye Chen unleashed a gust of wind, holding Chu Xianzi captive while protecting Xu Qingling and others. Then he ascended to the Purify Void Domain, confronting the epic beast.
"Release her!" Zai's overwhelming will formed a storm, crushing towards Ye Chen.
"No!" A barrier appeared before Ye Chen, blocking the oncoming storm, showing his calmness.
"Chu Xianzi is my fiancée; you captured her by force. Are you looking to make an enemy of me?" Zai roared.
"Alright, I can let her go!" Ye Chen glanced at Chu Xianzi, then looked back at Zai. "But your fiancée just offended me, even assembled a group to kill me; if I just let her go, how will I stand in the future?"
"What do you want?" Zai asked.
"I'll release Chu Xianzi, but you must forgive her and become my mount for ten thousand years!" Ye Chen said.
"What?" Zai shouted in disbelief; Ye Chen actually wanted him to be his mount?
"..." Ye Chen said nothing, seeming to let Zai consider.
The vast celestial expanse fell silent, everyone forgot to breathe, as if scared stiff.
What did Ye Chen just say? Demanding Zai serve as his mount for ten thousand years?!
"Such audacity!"
The human-bodied elephant-headed beast looked at Ye Chen, eyes full of disbelief; Ye Chen really dared to speak!
Who is Zai? Born as an Innate Holy Spirit!
Zai, existing since the beginning of heaven and earth, settled until now, already vast as the sea, unfathomable! Yet Ye Chen, facing the terrifying Zai, dared to propose he serve as a mount for ten thousand years?
Too crazy!
That's everyone's thought; Ye Chen is truly mad!
"Bastard! I am an Innate Holy Spirit, the greatest existence, and you want me as your mount?" Zai raged, roaring.
Rumble!
With Zai's skyward roar, all heavens and worlds trembled, fearing the epic's wrath affecting all worlds.
"If you don't become my mount, let her stay with me, as my bed-warming maid!" Ye Chen calmly said. "It's the cost of her wrongdoing!"
Zai is a majestic epic terror, but Ye Chen feared not; as everyone seeks to understand the epic, why should I fear you?
Besides, with the Heavenly Emperor's rune engraved in three thousand paths, he advances ceaselessly! At this moment, even if Ye Chen isn't Zai's match, he can still retreat safely!
Ye Chen had thought to hide his strength, but for the Ice Muscle Jade Body, even exposing his power is worth it!
"You think being an epic makes you invincible worldwide?" Zai roared, shaking the starry sky. "Today, I'll show you that even among epic beings, there's a vast difference between heaven and earth!"
"I will crush all you have, trample your confidence, and make you realize how ridiculous you are!"
"Today, I will kill you!"
