"Athena, my heart is sincere towards you. I wanted to spend this life with you, yet you cruelly killed me. I curse you to a dreadful death!"

Duke Poly seethed with endless resentment, letting out a chilling wail, his body crumbling like dirt, disintegrating completely.

A powerful blood clan duke, just like that, vanished into the air, becoming a relic of the past.

"Phew!"

Athena witnessed this scene, exhaling a long breath, finally relieved.

Duke Poly's cultivation level was not up to hers, but he was indeed a formidable being. Athena's ferocious strikes consumed significant energy in slaying Duke Poly.

"Athena, you should leave now. Your sister is waiting for you!" Ye Chen said.

The blood clan is fraught with danger. Although Yalina had already attained enlightenment, she couldn't help Ye Chen much and might even become a burden.

Thus, Yalina did not enter the blood clan territory but waited outside to offer support.

"I'm leaving, what about you?" Athena asked.

"Me?" Ye Chen sighed suddenly. "There are many people waiting for me here, many traps laid just for me. How could I leave?"

Ye Chen concealed his aura, sneaking into the bloodline's ancestral land, discovering numerous dangers.

These were not just lethal formations, perilous grounds, or deceptions, but invincible warriors themselves!

In the face of true might, schemes and tricks are nothing but floating clouds, fragile and insignificant.

Thus, for Kain to ambush Ye Chen, he would not employ conspiracies, but would gather invincible forces to attack openly and honorably.

After sneaking into the bloodline's ancestral land, Ye Chen sensed overwhelming presences, spiraling like divine dragons, piercing the heavens and earth!

Each invincible presence represented a Saint. Altogether, six Saints gathered in the bloodline's ancestral land, startling Ye Chen!

The Earth's cultivation environment is lacking, deemed a time of declining law, impossible for great dragons to emerge.

Figures like Emperor Litian couldn't attain enlightenment on Earth and had to seek opportunities in Canglan Realm.

Yet, in this eerie blood clan, six Saints had gathered. What on earth was happening?

Even though Ye Chen's cultivation had reached its ultimate peak, compared to the supreme Great Saints, these Saints posed little threat to him.

But even though they posed no threat, Ye Chen felt a bit unnerved because Earth seemed to harbor great mysteries, many invincible beings lying dormant!

Before Ye Chen's rise, he thought there were only a few Saints on Earth. But after returning from the Canglan Realm, he changed this view.

The Earth isn't as simple as it seems, likely concealing a colossal terror!

The nine souls of Huaxia were all existents of the Saint Realm. Initially hearing this, Ye Chen found it beyond belief. Saints are hard to come by; how could Huaxia gather nine?

But now Ye Chen believed it, finding peace in his heart!

This is because the depths of Earth are deep, Earth's existence in itself an enigma, an enigma filled with enigmas.

Moreover, after understanding everything, Ye Chen dared to make a bold guess!

The nine souls of Huaxia are all Saint Realm beings; among them, might there be a King? Might there be an invincible Great Saint?

The west has figures like Kain. How could the east not have any?

"My cultivation time is too short, my foundation too shallow, I cannot ascertain some of the supreme secrets!"

"The blood clan's strength is formidable, but it's just a part of the west and cannot represent the entire west!"

"Yet, within a western tribe lies a Great Saint, isn't this too terrifying?"

Ye Chen looked toward the fortress outside as if able to see through heavy walls, seeing the swirling snow mist beyond.

One, two, three, four...

Ye Chen sensed the situation outside the fortress, a group of powerful figures descended, surrounding this fortress tightly!

"Ye Chen, you..."

Athena, seeing Ye Chen's grim expression, thought he was in trouble and intended to ask about it.

But before she could finish her words, Ye Chen waved to interrupt her.

"You've just killed a blood clan member, thereby alerting Kain... We're surrounded!" Ye Chen said.

"Uh, sorry about that!"

"But that guy was too despicable, harassing me constantly... I simply had to kill him!"

For some reason, Athena wasn't the least bit tense but rather seemed on the verge of laughing.

Though surrounded, Ye Chen remained calm, that kind of serene and composed demeanor made Athena feel no tension at all.

"Athena, you should go back, find your sister!" Looking at Athena, Ye Chen wanted to send her away from this place of trouble.

"I want to leave, but didn't you say we're surrounded?" Athena replied.

"Uh, true!" Ye Chen awkwardly smiled.

"Such a fool..."

Athena watched Ye Chen's silly expression, feeling a peculiar sensation within... It seemed like a gentle favor.

When Ye Chen was merely a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Athena was already a Land God!

Back then Athena stood high in the world, while Ye Chen was just an insignificant figure!

But over more than a decade, Ye Chen rose, leaving her far behind, unattainable, only to be admired.

Moreover, Ye Chen didn't just become invincible, he also took Yalina as his wife, becoming her brother-in-law.

In short, Athena developed a subtle feeling for Ye Chen, like a sudden heartbeat...

Watching Ye Chen scratching his head and recalling his invincible presence that can turn clouds and rain, Athena felt the urge to steal her sister's man.

"Alright, you better hurry on, or they'll break in!" Ye Chen glanced outside the castle and urged Athena.

"I want to go, but how can I leave?" Athena shrugged and said.

"I'll send you off!" Ye Chen replied.

"How will you send me?"

Athena gazed at Ye Chen, blinking her eyes.

"Uh, don't look at me like that!" Athena's affectionate gaze made Ye Chen feel a bit uneasy.

"What's the matter?" Athena pretended not to know.

Without knowing why, just a sudden impulse, Athena showed tenderness to Ye Chen. It was an inexplicable impulse.

Additionally, Ye Chen's unease made her happier; he couldn't ignore her charm after all!

"Alright, you better leave, or you'll be causing trouble here!" Ye Chen said helplessly.

"I want to leave, but I really don't know how!" Athena said, having no one else to blame.

"I'll send you rolling away!"

With a wave of his great hand, Ye Chen tore through the void, opening a passage leading directly to the outside world.

"This!"

Athena's face revealed astonishment, seeming shocked by Ye Chen.

The method Ye Chen displayed wasn't just power; it was an invincible command!

This method was too fantastical for Athena to fathom, beyond comprehension, infinitely astonishing.

"Go quickly; they want to break in!" Ye Chen's face turned serious, sensing danger.

"Alright!" Athena nodded.

"..."

"What are you doing?" Ye Chen asked, a bit speechless as he watched Athena.

Athena suddenly ran over, astonishingly hugging him, leaving Ye Chen dumbfounded.

What's with this woman? Was her brain kicked by a donkey? What is she thinking?

"Thank you!"

"I'm off!"

Athena hugged Lin Xu briefly, then leapt into the void passage, leaving without even glancing at Ye Chen.

"..."

"Boom!"

The fortress where Ye Chen stood shattered explosively, as saints outside finally broke in.

"Eastern brat, how dare you invade my blood clan, kill my kin, you're bold indeed!"

These were six invincible warriors, each ancient, each powerful, each a Saint!

Their battle intent erupted, Divine Skills pressing down, throwing heaven and earth into chaos!

A super storm formed, sweeping towards Ye Chen, trying to engulf him.

The six Saints waged war, the combined force unstoppable, nearly capable of suppressing a King.

However, Ye Chen remained composed, sacred aura swirling, responding to the incoming storm with a mighty punch.

"Boom!"

The brilliance of the Heavenly Emperor Fist illuminated the world, spreading an unrivaled power, astonishingly suppressing the six Saints!

"Heavenly Emperor descends, eternity belongs to me!"

Above Ye Chen's head bloomed the flower of the great Dao, bathed in golden light, like an unparalleled Divine King!

"Boom!"

Ye Chen threw another punch, instantly manifesting phenomena, reversing the Milky Way, causing stars to erupt.

"Not good, this child's power is too strong, we're no match!" The blood clan's six Saints came with immense hostility, intending to suppress Ye Chen. But before they got close, Ye Chen forced them back.

"Kain, stop sending them to die, come and face me yourself!" Ye Chen roared, challenging Kain, shaking the entire blood clan.
