Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

"Yes, it's too light," Yu Jizi said.

"Then what do you suggest?" the Saint Sovereign asked.

"Isn't there a spiritual mountain at the center of the cosmos?" Yu Jizi suggested. "The mountain is rich in spirit stones, which can accelerate cultivation. However, it's difficult to mine these stones. You could have Ye Chen go mining for ten days or half a month; it would tire him out!"

"..." The Saint Sovereign was speechless.

Let Ye Chen go mining?

That would be easier than facing a wall!

Ye Chen is a Supreme Saint-level powerhouse. Mining would be as easy as drinking water for him; he'd never feel tired. Yu Jizi is too protective!

"Saint Sovereign, Ye Chen's massacre was shocking, staining the divine temple with blood. How can he be let off so easily?"

However, seeing the Saint Sovereign punish Ye Chen lightly, Di Lingxian was unwilling to agree.

Ye Chen went to the cosmos center, stirred up a storm, and killed many people. How could he be merely punished with facing a wall?

In Di Lingxian's view, Ye Chen deserved death a thousand times. Even if he were torn apart and never reincarnated, it wouldn't be enough.

Moreover, he had a grudge against Ye Chen. As long as Ye Chen lived, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

"Oh?" the Saint Sovereign asked. "Since Ye Chen's crimes are so grave, what do you suggest should be done?"

"Cast him into reincarnation, never to transcend!"

The Saint Sovereign was a benevolent figure, always kind to others, so Di Lingxian spoke boldly without fear.

"Hmm."

The Saint Sovereign's voice came, as if in consideration.

"Di Lingxian and Ye Chen have an irreconcilable enmity."

"But Di Lingxian is a supreme being. Even if he wants to eliminate Ye Chen, he could do so in a fair battle. How can he be so despicable!"

"I hope the Saint Sovereign rejects Di Lingxian, or Ye Chen will fade into obscurity."

"This man is truly morally corrupt. He can't beat Ye Chen himself, so he asks the Saint Sovereign to intervene... Truly vile!"

In the beginning, Ye Chen was at a disadvantage, garnering sympathy from many. And even if he unleashed divine power, causing many supreme beings to bleed, he had just cause.

But for Di Lingxian to want to use the Saint Sovereign's hand to eliminate Ye Chen when he couldn't kill him himself, it made him even more hated.

The crowd couldn't interfere with the Saint Sovereign's decision, but they didn't want Ye Chen to suffer such an unfair fate. Dying like this would be too harsh.

They would rather see Ye Chen die in battle than be wrongly killed.

But something unexpected happened, as the Saint Sovereign finally made his decision.

"Di Lingxian, you are a supreme being, having obtained the Innate holy fetus, and you will soon transcend," the Saint Sovereign said. "I have been overseeing the cosmos center for a long time, and I am weary of it. How about you take my place?"

"Saint Sovereign, what do you mean?" Di Lingxian was bewildered.

The Saint Sovereign had surpassed transcendence to suppress the cosmos center. Even if Di Lingxian transcended, he wasn't qualified to succeed the Saint Sovereign!

"I said it, and you dare deny it? Then the position of Saint Sovereign can only be yours," the Saint Sovereign's indifferent voice rose.

"Saint Sovereign!"

Hearing this, Di Lingxian broke out into a cold sweat, and he knelt, full of terror and trepidation.

The Saint Sovereign was angry!

Due to his interference and disrespect, the Saint Sovereign was infuriated!

Thinking of this, Di Lingxian lowered his head even further, regretting his earlier words.

What kind of person was the Saint Sovereign? Who dared to interfere with his decisions?

Di Lingxian, blinded by hatred, had forgotten this point, so he was momentarily regretful, sweating profusely.

"That settles it," the Saint Sovereign said indifferently. "Di Lingxian, remain behind to clean up the aftermath, and Ye Chen, you go face the wall and reflect!"

"..."

The Saint Sovereign's favoritism was all too evident, assigning cleanup to Di Lingxian. Ye Chen was definitely a relative of the Saint Sovereign.

"Ye Chen, come to the divine temple. I have something to say to you," the Saint Sovereign's voice suddenly rang out again, summoning Ye Chen into the hall, surprising everyone.

The divine temple was the Saint Sovereign's residence, where all beings feared to tread. Few had ever entered, even the transcendent beings.

But now, the Saint Sovereign summoned Ye Chen, granting him an enormous favor!

"Damn it, what's so special about Ye Chen to receive such favor from the Saint Sovereign?" Di Lingxian was furious, his teeth nearly clenched to breaking.

This battle had been lost too tragically; Lishang, Junxi, and others lay dead, leaving Di Lingxian alone to become the laughing stock of everyone.

Seeing the unusual glances around him, Di Lingxian's heart bled, filled with an unspeakable humiliation.

But with the Saint Sovereign showing favor to Ye Chen, what could Di Lingxian do?

Gritting his teeth, enduring the humiliation, he thought, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, do not bully the young and poor..." Di Lingxian could only imagine.

What kind of existence was the Saint Sovereign? He was not someone Di Lingxian could afford to provoke.

"Di Lingxian!"

However, unexpectedly, Ye Chen, summoned by the Saint Sovereign, did not enter the divine temple but instead confronted Di Lingxian.

"What do you want?"

Di Lingxian looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with coldness and even a hint of malice.

He hated Ye Chen to the core. How could he possibly be cordial?

"I know your second divine body possesses invincible combat power!" Ye Chen directly addressed. "You lost to me today, are you not unconvinced?"

"Hmph, don't think because the Saint Sovereign favors you, you can disregard everything. If I summon my strongest body..."

"Enough, don't waste your breath!"

Unable to take action, Di Lingxian sought verbal advantage, but Ye Chen didn't give him the chance and interrupted directly.

"Three months from now, I challenge you to a battle of life and death. Do you dare to come?" Ye Chen asked.

"..."

Ye Chen's words left Di Lingxian stunned, and everyone else was stunned too.

Three months from now, a battle of life and death?

Was Ye Chen seeking death?

Di Lingxian had an Innate holy fetus. In three months, it would be fully cultivated, unleashing its ultimate combat power!

At that time, Di Lingxian's power would soar. Apart from transcendence, there would likely be no rivals!

Ye Chen was only in the Supreme Saint Realm. Even with a dragon vein to accompany him and heavenly assistance, he would likely not be a match, possibly even facing obliteration.

It wasn't that people doubted Ye Chen's strength, but the Innate holy fetus was simply too powerful, virtually the strongest power below transcendence!

For Ye Chen to challenge Di Lingxian in three months, was he not courting death?

"Hahaha!"

As expected, Di Lingxian laughed wildly, showing a look of disdain.

"Three months from now, my strongest body will be complete, and you want to battle me?" Di Lingxian abruptly stopped laughing and looked at Ye Chen coldly. "Do you want to die?"

"Moreover, if it weren't for me suppressing the Innate holy fetus, you wouldn't have been able to rampage today!"

"Ye Chen, you are too arrogant!"

Di Lingxian was one of the three supreme beings, just a step away from transcending, with cultivation as powerful as possible.

If not for Di Lingxian dividing his consciousness to fully refine the Innate holy fetus, Ye Chen might have been in danger today.

Three months later, when Di Lingxian's strongest body was complete, his combat power would undoubtedly soar to an unprecedented level.

How could Ye Chen, a Supreme Saint, hope to battle him?
