"Heavenly Emperor!" Leng Hanyu heard this name and his heart unavoidably trembled.

Heaven is taboo, Emperor is supreme—how can mortals dare to use such a name, too lofty for the common man?

Indeed, not just Leng Hanyu felt shocked; The First Sword, Hua Chang, Zi Feng, the disciples of Baihua Palace... everyone was in awe.

The name Heavenly Emperor bore an extraordinary significance; an ordinary person who dared to take such a name would likely be struck down by heavenly condemnation.

Ye Chen's combat power was extremely terrifying, capable of directly contending against Leng Hanyu; thus, taking a forbidden name seemed no hindrance to him.

But the name Heavenly Emperor was too taboo, directly calling him that left people speechless.

"Heavenly Emperor!" Hua Chang suddenly exclaimed, her face paling, clearly shocked by something.

Hua Chang recognized Ye Chen, this self-proclaimed Heavenly Emperor, a supreme being from the Nine Heavens!

"How can this be, is he really the Heavenly Emperor, and from the Nine Heavens?" Hua Chang's face was filled with shock, she looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.

"Your punch shattered my Divine Demon Illusion, showcasing your extraordinary power. Let us fight wholeheartedly!"

Leng Hanyu stared at Ye Chen and suddenly burst into laughter, striking boldly at Ye Chen, displaying boundless strength.

"Divine Demon Mighty Body, renowned across ten continents, I have long wished to experience it!"

Ye Chen was unfazed by Leng Hanyu's power and met him directly with a punch, causing the heavens and earth around them to tremble.

"Divine Demon now, Celestial Demon vanquish!"

Ye Chen's power was moving, not inferior to a true supreme being. Leng Hanyu took him very seriously, unleashing his Innate Divine Ability at the outset.

"Faith, glory, immortality!" Ye Chen gave his all, without reservation, delivering his mightiest punch, battling the celestial demons filling the skies.

"What is the origin of this Heavenly Emperor, why have we never seen him before?"

Ye Chen's powerful entry and fierce battle with Leng Hanyu moved a group of young supremes, since Ye Chen was indeed very unfamiliar!

Hua Chang had traveled together with Ye Chen and had some superficial understanding of him, but this only deepened her puzzlement.

"Boom!"

Despite being shocked by Ye Chen's presence, Hua Chang and others did not hesitate and decisively attacked the young Qilin. The Heavenly Emperor's mystique didn't matter; they were there for the Qilin youngling.

"Roar!"

The Qilin youngling, faced with an attack from the powerful beings, turned into a shadow and immediately fled, not giving these people a chance to strike.

The Qilin took a group of young supremes for a walk, leaving the battle between Ye Chen and Leng Hanyu as the focal point.

But this battle's focus was not Leng Hanyu, but rather the completely unfamiliar Heavenly Emperor!"

"Who exactly is the Heavenly Emperor?"

Ye Chen's identity intrigued countless cultivators, because he truly was a mystery; no one had heard of such a person!

"The Heavenly Emperor's fame is not notable; he only emerged today. Could he be the strongest successor secretly groomed by one of the top ten sects?"

"Perhaps he is not a sect-bred successor, but rather a person chosen by a mysterious heritage, just like Leng Hanyu of the Divine Demon Mighty Body!"

"The name Heavenly Emperor is taboo, this is known by all. But since he dares to use this name, could he be a legendary great being reincarnated?"

Ye Chen and Leng Hanyu competed fiercely, his strength clear for all to see, yet his identity was highly suspect.

The name Heavenly Emperor was resounding, yet no one had heard of it before, prompting many to speculate that Ye Chen might come from a hidden sect.

"The Heavenly Emperor comes from the Nine Heavens!"

Suddenly, a cultivator shouted out this statement, and it turned out he was a disciple of Longyue Sacred Ground.

To others the Heavenly Emperor was unfamiliar, but to those from Longyue Sacred Ground, he was well known, because this Heavenly Emperor had once been looked down upon by them.

"What, the Heavenly Emperor comes from the Nine Heavens, is he a celestial god reincarnated?" a cultivator exclaimed in shock.

"Disciple of Longyue Sacred Ground, how do you know the Heavenly Emperor is from the Nine Heavens, what is your relation to him?"

The Heavenly Emperor's might made hearts tremble, sparking immense curiosity about his origins, prompting inquiries directed at the people from Longyue Sacred Ground.

"The Heavenly Emperor comes from the Nine Heavens, I saw it with my own eyes! As for our relationship... we are twin brothers of the same father but different mothers!"

"..."

"The Heavenly Emperor, he truly is the Heavenly Emperor, and to think I once wanted to make him my servant!"

Ye Chen's punch laid waste to the land, shattered mountains, and made the sky tremble. Xingmou, gazing at that familiar figure, still found it hard to believe.

Xingmou remembered Ye Chen's resolute eyes; he claimed to come from the Nine Heavens, that he was the Heavenly Emperor, unmatched in battle...

In Xingmou's heart, the image of the self-proclaimed Heavenly Emperor loomed large, truly unmatched in battle, truly august!

"The Heavenly Emperor comes from the Nine Heavens, unrivaled and supreme, he is indeed the Heavenly Emperor!"

With the boast of the disciple from Longyue Sacred Ground, Ye Chen's identity as the Heavenly Emperor was confirmed, earning the recognition of all cultivators.

However, the Heavenly Emperor coming from above the Nine Heavens, could it be that he was an exiled immortal?

Or, could it be that the Nine Heavens are not above, but a mystical place?

Invincible in battle, mysterious origins, the Heavenly Emperor was shrouded in mystery.

"Divine Demon—Cover the Heavens!"

In that moment, Leng Hanyu unleashed his divine might, summoning Divine Demons that threw the world into chaos, with Ye Chen at the forefront.

"One punch unbeaten, Divine Demons yield!"

Ye Chen did not use any martial skills, but delivered his strongest punch, embodying immortality, glory, and invincibility, confronting the celestial demons with the mightiest will.

"Boom—"

Ye Chen's fist sparkled with eternal, invincible, honorable... the strongest will against the deities and demons of the whole sky, making the whole heavens and earth start to explosively bombard.

Outside of the battlefield, Hua Chang, the First Sword, Zi Feng, and Leng Hanyu were chasing the Qilin while Tian Di and Wan Shixiong were engaged in fierce combat, creating a golden opportunity for them, each grinding their teeth and surging forward.

"Roar!"

The Qilin cub, chased wildly throughout the sky, kept roaring, as if protesting that they were many while it was alone. One moment it was running across the endless barren lands, and the next it was standing roaring atop the peaks of mountains, clearly intending to make these people run circles.

With Wan Shixiong not getting involved, the pressure on the Qilin cub greatly decreased.

Wan Shixiong's combat power was the strongest, posing the greatest threat to the Qilin cub, but he was tightly entangled by Ye Chen. Solely with First Sword and Hua Chang, they couldn't catch up to it!

The Qilin cub was very grateful for Ye Chen's intervention; without him holding back their major enemy, it might have been doomed by now.

The Qilin remembered Ye Chen vividly because it had kicked him flying.

From its birth, the Qilin cub had never seen such a foolish man, running headfirst into its tiny hooves...

However, Ye Chen was its great benefactor, and the Qilin was quite grateful to him.

But now, with formidable enemies closing in, the Qilin didn't have time to think too much because, with Ye Chen holding them back, it could finally escape with relief.

While Ye Chen and Wan Shixiong were fighting, the Qilin cub completely disappeared without a trace.

"You little Qilin rascal, you're so ungrateful! I risked my life to save you, and you didn't let out a single fart before running away!" Ye Chen, realizing that the Qilin cub had escaped, immediately burst into an angry curse, feeling like crying without tears.

"Tian Di, you are indeed very powerful, stronger than the First Sword, Hua Chang, Zi Feng, Leng Hanyu... stronger than everyone, you are the strongest man I've ever seen in my life!"

Wan Shixiong fought more and more fiercely, his eyes terrifyingly sharp. His left hand controlled spirits, his right demons, and the more divine demons appeared behind him, making Ye Chen's struggle increasingly challenging.

"Eternal, honor, invincible, belief, imperial domination, pilgrimage, fate arising, fate extinguished!"

Ye Chen's blood boiled; Wan Shixiong was too powerful. Clashing with such a person gave him a vague sense of enlightenment, as if he were about to embark on an invincible path.

"My God, this Tian Di is too strong, that's Wan Shixiong, divine demon body, the uncrowned king of the young generation, yet Tian Di can actually compete with Wan Shixiong undefeated, this is literally frightening!"

Ye Chen's strength was evident to everyone, but monks were still shocked. Because Wan Shixiong was too invincible, recognized as the top among the younger generation, yet Ye Chen could compete with him evenly, this really challenged the strongest title!

"I transform into the divine demon, pushing across the three thousand realms!" Wan Shixiong's desire for battle turned his eyes red at that instant.

"A punch to pierce the heavens!"

Ye Chen threw out a punch and laid down a golden path, melting all the divine demons in the sky.

Wan Shixiong was a peerless enemy; his divine demonic aura swept through invincibly, pressing Ye Chen to the point where a breakthrough could come at any time.

"Divine demon chaos battle!"

A powerful opponent was too rare, as Wan Shixiong and Ye Chen fought ruthlessly, giving off a frenzied sensation.

"Fate arises, fate extinguishes..."

At this moment, Ye Chen was in a marvelous state, seemingly about to break through the bottleneck, releasing his own restraints and stepping up to a new level.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Qilin came through, incredibly retracing its steps.

"Boom—"

The Qilin ran wildly ahead, a group of supremes following closely behind in the slaughter; the Qilin brat couldn't escape and was chased back by a group of strong men.

"Roar!"

The Qilin cub came to Ye Chen's side, seeking protection from this kind-hearted big brother.

"Today we've also had our fill of battle; let's start grabbing the Qilin now!" Eventually, Wan Shixiong snapped out of his frenzy, deciding to subdue the Qilin cub first.

"..."

Ye Chen looked gloomily behind, where the Qilin cub was pretending to be innocent, cutely blinking at him.

The nine supremes convened once again, pressing towards Ye Chen because the Qilin cub was behind him.

But just at this breath-holding, solemn moment, Ye Chen's actions made everyone pee their pants in fright.

"I'm going to kill you, little brat, what are you doing behind me?" Ye Chen was not happy at all.

The Qilin cub, chased back the same way, clearly intended to use him as a shield; Ye Chen didn't want to be the scapegoat. If the nine supremes teamed up to attack, Ye Chen would definitely die a terrible death!

"Roar roar!"

The Qilin cub growled twice and then approached Ye Chen, rubbing its head against his pant leg.

"Has the Qilin chosen its master?" Wan Shixiong frowned and said.

"Your sister!"

A shocking event occurred as, facing the Qilin's voluntary show of affection, Ye Chen kicked it out.

"Bang!"

The Qilin cub was grievously trampled, directly kicked out by Ye Chen and harshly smashed onto the ground.

"Roar!"

The Qilin cub wailed, Ye Chen's kick was heavily delivered, almost making it cry.

However, more shocking events ensued as the kicked Qilin cub ran back to Ye Chen's side and again rubbed its head against his pant leg.
