Boom!

Ye Chen did not attack Huangxi, but instead subdued the Heaven-Suppressing Tower.

The Heaven-Suppressing Tower is a mysterious entity with great prestige in the cosmic realm, only to strangely disappear in the end.

However, no one expected that the disappearance of the Heaven-Suppressing Tower was not because it retreated into some forbidden place but because it was suppressed by someone!

The barren lands suppressed the Heaven-Suppressing Tower, obliterated its consciousness, and refined it into a powerful treasure!

The refined Heaven-Suppressing Tower, although it lost its dominant consciousness, became even more powerful!

Ye Chen, even with his epic force, found it difficult to destroy the Heaven-Suppressing Tower, which highlights its terrifying nature.

Therefore, Ye Chen wanted to seize the Heaven-Suppressing Tower and integrate it into his Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot!

The Heaven-Suppressing Tower drifted amidst the universe like a sky-piercing tower, giving a sense of weightiness.

However, the runes bloomed in Ye Chen's hand, instantly engulfing the Heaven-Suppressing Tower, rapidly shrinking its massive body.

Finally, the Heaven-Suppressing Tower transformed into a small tower, which Ye Chen held in his hand, playing with it.

"..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Great Sage Huangxi felt as if his heart was bleeding.

The Heaven-Suppressing Tower is an unparalleled treasure, transcending even divine artifacts, painstakingly crafted by the barren lands and bestowed upon him as a lifeline!

It had always been his trump card, helping him slay many formidable enemies, it was his strongest reliance!

But now, the Heaven-Suppressing Tower no longer belonged to him, his imprint on it erased, and now it belonged to Ye Chen.

"You may leave!" Ye Chen placed the Heaven-Suppressing Tower into the Qiankun Bag and looked at Great Sage Huangxi. "I keep my word, the tower stays, and you can go!"

"You'll really let me go?"

Great Sage Huangxi felt a surge of joy but was somewhat incredulous.

Despite hoping for Ye Chen to release him, Ye Chen, decisively ruthless, was not one to show mercy, how could he let him go just like that?

"Yes, I'll let you go!" Ye Chen, with unknown intent, decided to release Huangxi after all.

"This!" Happiness came so suddenly that Huangxi was left stunned!

"I can let you go today, but don't come back again, or if I see you next time, I will definitely kill you!" Ye Chen looked earnestly at Great Sage Huangxi and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Alright, I'll never come back!"

Great Sage Huangxi was nearly obliterated by Ye Chen, his very spirit almost shattered; seeing Ye Chen now made him fearful, wanting to run far away, how could he possibly come to seek death again?

Ultimately, a fragment of Huangxi's True Spirit fled, Ye Chen did not act to stop it, not even bothering to cast a glance.

Ye Chen had already crushed Huangxi's fighting spirit, and even if he recovered his cultivation, he would be ruined.

Ye Chen, now soaring across the nine heavens, found a defeated Huangxi to be of no concern at all.

Moreover, Ye Chen was about to establish the celestial court, needing to build prestige and rally experts!

His act of releasing Huangxi was also an attempt to conquer with virtue, to set an example!

Only with established authority and widespread recognition, would others come to align with him, serving him as their sovereign!

"Gu Changsheng, Gong Huan, how will you settle our matter?" Ye Chen looked toward Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan.

"..."

Ye Chen's gaze brought immense pressure upon Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan.

After all, Ye Chen's formidable might was unmatched, even capable of repelling epic forces, instilling fear in them.

Previously, they plotted to harm Ye Chen, interrupting his enlightenment, attempting to seize his fortune, nearly a mortal feud!

Now that Ye Chen was invincible, would he not seek revenge on them?

The answer was clear; Huangxi was the proof!

A second-tier Great Saint couldn't withstand a single strike from Ye Chen, which was chilling even to imagine.

Gu Changsheng, Gong Huan, were both third-tier Great Saints, even less than Huangxi, should Ye Chen turn against them... they dared not even think.

"..."

The Saints of all realms quietly observed, not daring to interfere; they were witnesses, witnesses to the rise of a miracle.

Ye Chen's rise was unstoppable; once today passed, his name would reverberate across the realms!

Be it Huangxi, Gu Changsheng, Gong Huan, or anyone else, they were all just stepping stones for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen would tread upon them to ascend to the pinnacle of the realms, becoming one of the most formidable titans in the universe!

At this moment, the world fell silent, no one dared to speak carelessly, Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan remained silent, Ye Chen's overwhelming aura suffocating them.

"I plan to establish a supreme celestial court, are you willing to join me?" Ye Chen looked at Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan, clearly intending to gather followers.

"What is the celestial court?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Gu Changsheng was not an earthly being and had never heard of the celestial court, hence his lack of understanding!

However, the celestial court seemed extraordinary, filled with grandeur, majesty, like an ancient world that even Great Saints yearned to explore and pursue.

"The celestial court is a home to the Saints, the divine abode of all beings, the sacred place of the universe, a transcendent domain!" Ye Chen declared.

"Where is the celestial court situated, how come I've never heard of it?" Gong Huan interjected.

"In my heart!" Ye Chen lifted his chin slightly and said, "The celestial court already has a prototype, just waiting for me to establish it fully, inviting the Sovereigns to court, its momentum will be assured!"

"Therefore, I'm recruiting mighty beings to join the celestial court, are you willing to pledge allegiance to me?"

Ye Chen conceived the idea of the celestial court when he comprehended the Heavenly Emperor Fist!

But at that time, his cultivation was too low, even if he harbored grand dreams, they were unattainable.

Now, Ye Chen's momentum was overwhelming, surpassing the Saint Realm, able to contest epic forces, he was already a titan in the universe!

Thus, he had the qualification to establish his sect, become a grand teacher, founding the celestial court!

"Can we consider it?"

Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan exchanged glances, as if communicating silently, apparently needing some time to ponder.

"Alright!" Ye Chen said.

"Then can we leave?" Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan asked.

"You may!" Ye Chen nodded again.

"..."

Ye Chen's friendly demeanor, surprisingly forgiving past grievances and allowing Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan to leave, left everyone wide-eyed and in disbelief.

Because Ye Chen was extremely indifferent to his enemies, decisive in his killings, and exceedingly cruel!

Huangxi was the best example—not only was his Dao body destroyed, but his treasures were also plundered, leaving just a sliver of True Spirit. He was definitely the epitome of misfortune!

Gu Changsheng, Gong Huan, and Great Sage Huangxi were all up to no good, so how could Ye Chen let them go?

"Are you truly letting us leave?"

Ye Chen intended to let them go; it wasn't just that others didn't believe it, even Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan themselves doubted it.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen responded lightly.

"Why? We didn't say we would pledge allegiance to you!"

The happiness came so abruptly that Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan frowned, fearing Ye Chen might have some plot.

"No reason!" Ye Chen replied. "I want to let you go, so I let you go. Is there that much need for a reason?"

"Alright, if that's the case, then we'll leave!"

Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan, as if pardoned from a great sentence, didn't want to stay for even a second longer, clasping their fists towards Ye Chen to depart.

"Wait!" Ye Chen suddenly said.

"What now?" Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan's faces changed, thinking Ye Chen had changed his mind.

"Call me 'Lord', and I'll let you go!" Ye Chen looked at them, a slight smile at the corner of his lips.

Ye Chen hadn't established a heavenly court, and thus couldn't recruit powerful individuals or make Great Sages submit!

However, Ye Chen already possessed overwhelming might, enough to make Great Sages revere him, and he could completely establish authority!

When Xiahou Chun appeared, the Saints on Earth all called him 'Lord', displaying profound respect!

Seeing that scene, Ye Chen also felt anticipation, aspiring to be like Xiahou Chun, becoming a transcendent, supreme lord!

"Lord?" Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan murmured, visibly troubled.

They all held titles of Great Sages, definitely rightful heirs of the heavens, destined leaders of the strongest entities in all realms—how could they possibly call Ye Chen 'Lord'?

This utterance of "Lord" wouldn't just be a disgraceful matter; it could shatter their faith!

Yet, Ye Chen was currently dominant—they feared what might happen if they didn't comply and ended up dead.

"Call me 'Lord' and leave freely, is that such a loss?" Ye Chen saw their hesitation and asked.

"We are rulers of myriad realms, leaders of factions—how can we bend our knees and bow our heads to acknowledge you as 'Lord'?" Gong Huan, the Great Sage, struggled to accept.

"Then you are willing to die?" Ye Chen looked at Gong Huan, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"..."

Faced with Ye Chen's murderous intent, Gong Huan instantly settled down, clearly not wanting to die.

"Call me 'Lord' or die—choose!" Ye Chen stated. "However, I have many old enemies to eliminate, so don't deliberate too long, or else I might lose patience!"

"Lord!"

Just as Ye Chen finished speaking, Gu Changsheng lowered his head and called him 'Lord'.

Before Epic entities appeared, Great Sages were the pinnacle of cultivation, the supreme beings across all realms!

For Gu Changsheng to relinquish his dignity and lower his noble head must have required immense courage!

"Hmm!"

Seeing Gu Changsheng bow, Ye Chen was not particularly surprised, merely nodded slightly.

"You may depart!"

Ye Chen with extraordinary presence, waved a hand at Gu Changsheng, suggesting an act of pardoning the world.

"Thank you!"

Seeing Ye Chen grant passage, Gu Changsheng immediately felt relief, showing a sense of liberation.

Whew!

Gu Changsheng's will escaped Earth, quickly merging with his true form, concealing itself within the universe.

"What about you?" After Gu Changsheng left, Ye Chen looked at Gong Huan.

"..."

Gong Huan, the Great Sage, looked at Ye Chen, his face shifting between anger and contemplation.

"You have three breaths of time!"

Ye Chen looked at Gong Huan, ready to make a move if the situation turned hostile.

"Lord!"

Seeing Ye Chen's exposed killing intent, Gong Huan showed signs of struggle, helplessness, and compromise, eventually bowing to Ye Chen.

"Very good!" Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. "You may leave!"

The moment Ye Chen spoke, Gong Huan, the Great Sage, vanished into the void, unwilling to linger any longer.

The Saints of myriad realms were watching, and he had lowered his head to Ye Chen—this was undoubtedly a major embarrassment!

However, he wasn't the only one embarrassed; everyone who opposed Ye Chen was humiliated by him.

"..."

After Gu Changsheng and Gong Huan left, the place returned to silence, with everyone looking at Ye Chen in deeper awe.

"Gate of Wonders, are you willing to submit to me?"

Once everything quieted down, Ye Chen pointed his sword at the heavens again, looking towards the Gate of Wonders, this ancient portal.
