These three were also supreme Saints, treading the Heavenly Bridge, crossing endless distances, and descending into this realm.
"Three more Saints have arrived!"
The appearance of nine Saints had already caused an uproar among the cultivators of the world, but following the appearance of the nine together, there were unexpectedly three more Saints!
"Why have these three Saints descended?"
Whereas the nine Saints had each come one by one, now three Saints arrived together, causing boundless shock among the cultivators here, some finding it unbelievable and incomprehensible!
"Heaven above, this..."
Suddenly, someone leaped up and arrived on the flying bridge, causing countless cultivators to turn pale.
Upon the arrival of the three Saints, a Heavenly Bridge stretched directly to this place. Ye Chen, holding the little qilin, leaped onto the Heavenly Bridge and ran towards the three Saints to seek their protection.
Ye Chen had always remained calm in the face of danger, not the least bit agitated, because he had confidence!
His confidence lay in the three Saints before him, Ye Tianshi, Patriarch Kun Huo, and Di Lintian!
As Emperor ascended to the Heavenly Bridge, he pushed towards the three Saints, causing endless murmurs among the other cultivators, who now understood the causality of it all.
The Emperor was fearless with the protection of the three Saints!
"Di Lintian, Ye Tianshi, you come from beyond this world, with no native ties or causes here; why do you protect this boy?"
Saints were atop the pyramid, only a few of them, rarely seen and often unfamiliar, though the nine Saints all recognized Di Lintian and Ye Tianshi.
However, the origins of Di Lintian and Ye Tianshi were extraordinary; their identities were taboo because they were not from this realm.
"I am his grandfather!" Ye Tianshi revealed his identity.
"I am his god-grandfather!" Di Lintian also disclosed his identity.
"..."
The straightforward declarations from the two men startled the nine Saints, for the Emperor truly came from the ninth heaven!
"Kun Huo, what is this meaning? Are you going to protect this harbinger of disaster?" The Lord of Kunlun roared at a figure at the head of the bridge, who was Patriarch Kun Huo of the Holy Flame Palace, not aligned with extraterrestrial forces but part of the Canglan Realm camp.
"Yes, I will protect him!" Kun Huo's voice resonated with firm power.
The resolute attitude of Patriarch Kun Huo surprised the nine Saints. How had Kun Huo become mixed up with the extraterrestrial forces!
"This child is cruel and boundless, aiming to massacre a group of young supremes; no one can take him away!" Longyue, the Saint attacked, a giant hand covering the sky suddenly appearing and viciously grabbing the Heavenly Bridge, nearly causing its entire structure to collapse.
The Heavenly Bridge extended indefinitely, with the three Saints standing at the bridgehead, and Ye Chen running on the bridge, yet he had not reached the bridgehead. As long as the Heavenly Bridge could be broken, Ye Chen could not escape!
"I have said it before, I will protect him, and no one can harm him!"
Patriarch Kun Huo bellowed, with Karmic Fire burning the heavens, sweeping boundlessly and incinerating the giant hand, rushing crazily towards the nine Saints.
Patriarch Kun Huo was a Saint of the Holy Flame Palace, controlling the essence of fire, and was also honored as Patriarch Kun Huo!
Karmic Fire was one of the strongest fire-based Dao, capable of injuring Saints. Now, with limitless Karmic Fire surging, it collapsed half of the sky, threatening to engulf the nine Saints, a spectacle truly causing tremors.
However, the cultivators present did not dare to watch the battle of the Saints and madly fled towards the endless wilderness!
When Saints rage, continents tremble.
When such supreme beings clash, anything at hand is annihilated—whoever is closer dies first!
"Boom!"
A gigantic Heavenly Sword condensed in the sky, shocking the stars, breaking through the boundless Karmic Fire, and slashing towards the aerial bridge, the Lord of Kunlun striking, attempting to sever the Heavenly Bridge to trap Ye Chen.
"Rumble!"
Ye Tianshi stood at the bridgehead, counterattacking, with a massive divine dragon phantom emerging, entwining the chaotic great sword.
"Who will battle with me!"
Before the other Saints could act, Di Lintian stood at the bridgehead, inviting combat with the demeanor of a battle maniac.
Di Lintian was the earth's first Saint, once causing ghosts to wail and gods to lament across continents, his body smeared with the blood of Saints, making all Saints wary of him!
"Di Lintian, I know you are the first Saint from beyond, but with nine Saints together here, you will surely bleed!"
Di Lintian was the first Saint, but there were many Saints present, thus he was full of confidence, unafraid of battling with Di Lintian.
"On Wanwu Island, you took my opportunity; today I demand it all back!" Tai Chu, the Saint, had early grievances with Di Lintian, and now, seeing his foe, his eyes reddened with hostility as he was the first to attack Di Lintian.
"If you want to fight, then let's fight!" Di Lintian was the first Saint and naturally displayed overwhelming dominance, even when faced with a group of Saints, he still maintained absolute dominance.
But here, not only Tai Chu, the Saint, acted; four others joined in the attack against Di Lintian.
Giant hands covering the sky, enormous fists shaking the heavens, supreme treasures of the earth and the sky, all hammered towards the flying bridge, aiming to break it and make those on the bridge fall.
The battle of the Saints, their tremendous auras sweeping across continents, causing billions of beings' spirits to tremble, attracting countless powerful gazes.
"Don't look, it's too terrifying, run!"
Ye Chen ran on the stone bridge, with the three Saints standing at the bridgehead, confronting the attacks of the nine Saints, striving to gain him time to ascend the bridge.
This was a Heavenly Bridge, stretching down from the sky, extending indefinitely. Ye Chen was exceedingly powerful, but to climb this bridge, he needed at least several breaths.
However, the power of Saints was unpredictable; a single breath could destroy mountains and rivers, let alone several breaths?
The world outside the bridge turned upside down, mountains and rivers shattered, the void was born and then extinguished; this wasteland was nearly obliterated.
The sight was too terrifying; Ye Chen dared not watch, fearful of being overwhelmed by such terror.
"Damn, who's the master here, you or me? Get down and run over there yourself!" Ye Chen shouted as he threw the kirin from his arms. "Hurry up to the bridgehead, or you'll die!"
The little kirin, dropped on the ground by Ye Chen, transformed into a streak of purple light upon hearing these words, speeding towards the three saints with a speed even faster than Ye Chen's.
"Holy crap, are you defying the heavens!" Ye Chen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, astonished by how fast the little brat was!
"Roar!" The little kirin took the lead, roaring excitedly, its four legs proving faster than two.
"Boom!"
As Ye Chen reached the sky bridge, the world below had already shattered, with countless cultivators frantically running along the edge, occasionally looking back in fear of being affected by the saints.
"Patriarch Kun Huo, why do you obstruct us, why do you aid that extraterrestrial demon!"
Longyue stood tall above the clouds, attacking the sky bridge, hoping to collapse it, but Patriarch Kun Huo, with his fierce might, controlling the origin of all fires, blocked all of Longyue's attacks.
"This kid is my grandson!" Patriarch Kun Huo revealed the truth.
"Grandson my foot!" Longyue roared. "You're a saint of the ten regions, and he's an extraterrestrial demon, how could you possibly be related?"
Patriarch Kun Huo put in all his effort, not minding offending one of the nine saints to protect an extraterrestrial fiend, which puzzled Longyue immensely.
As for the grandson claim, Longyue didn't believe it at all; three saints had claimed Ye Chen was their grandson—were they testing their intelligence?
"Endless Furious Feathers, Collapse the World!"
A saint from the Light Clan suddenly attacked, his golden wings thrashing behind him, casting golden feathers all over the sky, slashing crazily at the entire sky bridge.
"Sacred Fire Boundless, Burn the Six Paths!"
Patriarch Kun Huo's roar shook the heavens and the earth, drowning the void in endless celestial fire, burning the golden feathers, and turning the world into a giant furnace.
"Eternal Sword Ruler!"
The first saint suddenly displayed divine power, summoning a sword ruler that expanded endlessly, finally covering the sky and cutting across the heavens.
"Boom—"
The Eternal Sword Ruler, filled with terrifying divine might, struck the flying bridge in the void, stirring up endless tumult, crushing the boundless void.
"Stone Platform Suppresses the World!"
The first saint charged ferociously as Di Lintian summoned a treasure; a strange stone, fiercely smashing against the sword ruler. Buffeted by the wind, the stone platform grew so large that it could no longer fit between heaven and earth, ultimately sending the Eternal Sword Ruler flying.
Driven back, the first saint faced pressure from several other saints as Di Lintian summoned several secret treasures, fighting boldly!
"A Sword from the West, Soul Severing Saints!"
The Lord of Kunlun displayed supreme divine skills, aiming to decapitate Ye Tianshi with his sword.
The head of Kunlun Fairy Gate, skilled in Sword Dao, as a saint of the sect, had long mastered the origin of the sword, effortlessly executing techniques like 'All Swords Return to the Sect' and 'Immortal Beyond the Heavens.'
"Twin Killers of Heaven and Earth, Cycle of the Six Paths!"
A saint from the Church of Eternal Life attacked; this person controlled reincarnation, terrifying in his power, teaming with the Lord of Kunlun to target Ye Tianshi.
"Erase the Ages, Regret for the Arrogant Dragon!"
Ye Tianshi lacked Di Lintian's brilliance and Patriarch Kun Huo's domineering presence, but he seemed like the profound cosmos, unfathomable.
As the two great saints unleashed rapid strikes, Ye Tianshi blocked them all, appearing as calm as a gentle breeze or light clouds.
"All you young saints, pull yourselves together, I, the Celestial Emperor, am about to reach the apex. If you can't break the sky bridge, I'll just ride the winds away, and you won't even get a whiff of my fart!"
Amidst the great battle of saints and the chaos of yin and yang, Ye Chen rushed along the flying bridge, adding fuel to the fire, goading the saints.
"Mad prince, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
A saint from the Light Clan shouted furiously, Ye Chen's recklessness causing panic, the saints trembling with rage.
"If we don't kill you here, where is our dignity!" the Lord of Kunlun thundered, his killing intent boundless.
"A bunch of losers only know how to brag, nine of you can't beat three!" The environment was extremely chaotic; Ye Chen roared on the flying bridge.
"..." The saints were speechless, but their attacks grew even more furious, the killing intent of the nine saints was alarming, almost congealing into substance.
"Nine little whipping boys, I've made it to the bridgehead, go home and eat shit!" At this moment, Ye Chen reached the bridgehead, hiding among the three saints, taunting the nine saints on the bridge outside.
"Hall of the Gods!"
A protector of Wanshi suddenly exerted his power, summoning a divine treasure—an imposing temple emitting a breath that shocked the heavens, fiercely crashing into the flying bridge in the void.
Though Wanshi was setback, he wasn't significantly hurt; this old saint had always been middle-of-the-road, never too astonishing.
But, Ye Chen's words had been too cheeky, pushing this old saint to his limits, directly summoning his strongest divine treasure, wanting to crush Ye Chen into ash.
"This is bad, the old saint's getting ruthless, summoning this divine temple. We need to retreat quickly!"
Patriarch Kun Huo knew the origin of this old saint, and aware of the unstoppable horror of the divine temple, he immediately tore through the void, intending to cross through it.
"Nine big whipping boys, just you wait for me, the Celestial Emperor. If I prove the supreme saintly position, I'll definitely make you cry for your mothers!" Ye Chen's reckless words echoed through heaven and earth, as he was pulled by the three saints into the void, leaving this world.
"Arrogant brat, whether you ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth, we will kill you!" The saints' anger flooded the heavens.
