"No good!" Ye Chen's face changed.

"These Sovereigns are insane, they actually made a move on me!"

Zhiyang, Daomie, and Kaishan, the three great Sovereigns, came threateningly, and Ye Chen's spirit was immediately assaulted.

"Trying to run? Can you escape?"

Ye Chen's reaction wasn't bad; seeing the malevolent approach of the Sovereigns, he turned and fled. However, to Daomie and the others, his attempt to escape seemed laughable. They were invincible Sovereigns, and Ye Chen had not yet ascended to the Other Shore. Could he really get away?

"Daomie, Zhiyang, Kaishan... You old thieves dare to bully the weak. Do you have no shame?!" Master Lingyun roared in anger.

"This kid is a scourge; he should not live in this world!" Zhiyang declared.

Ye Chen's performance was too monstrous, unsettling the Sovereigns, instilling a kind of fear in them about this anomaly!

Crushing young supremes, brutally beating the treasures of their faiths, Ye Chen's performance even surpassed the Heavenly Emperor, causing the four great Sovereigns to panic.

If they couldn't control him, then they must kill him!

"All of you, get out of my way!"

Master Lingyun swept her longsword, severing the very sky, attacking the four great Sovereigns. This jade sword was a treasure among the heavens; with a mere flick, it could shatter the firmament, forcing the four great Sovereigns to retreat and not dare to clash with its sharpness.

"Nanyang, you hold off Master Lingyun, we'll kill this kid!" Daomie teleported through space, evading the jade sword's attacks, and shouted to Sovereign Nanyang.

"Alright!"

Sovereign Nanyang roared, releasing a White Bone Tower from his body, exuding an aura that could destroy the six paths, crashing towards Master Lingyun's jade sword.

"Boom!"

The jade sword and the bone tower collided with great force, turning the world upside down. Master Lingyun, transformed into a ferocious killer, fought Sovereign Nanyang atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

"Nanyang, you are despicable, being an invincible Sovereign, yet you backstab a disciple!" Master Lingyun shouted furiously.

"..."

Sovereign Nanyang kept silent, focusing on battling Master Lingyun. He was there only to hold back the "furious slaughterer," leaving the killing to others.

"Jade Blood Coagulating Sword, slicing heaven and earth!"

Master Lingyun struck fiercely, countless white beams bursting from her fingertips, filling the sky. Each of those white beams could slice through heaven and earth.

"Immovable King!

Seeing the white light flash, Sovereign Nanyang turned into an Immovable King. The furious white beams attacked but couldn't breach his golden body.

Master Lingyun seized the opportunity to bypass Sovereign Nanyang, rushing towards Daomie and the others. Ye Chen was in imminent danger because Daomie was already making a move.

"Lingyun, you think you can get past me that easily!" Sovereign Nanyang appeared like a wrathful Buddha, powerfully pressing down on Master Lingyun.

"Damn it!" Master Lingyun's expression darkened.

"Boom!"

Daomie released a palm strike that collapsed half of the sky, attacking the desperately fleeing Ye Chen.

This strike was intimidating enough to chill someone to the bone. Ye Chen was running across the plains, immediately summoning his Dharma-Phantom Golden Body. A lid flew off him, hovering above his head and shedding divine light, protecting his entire body.

A huge hand came crashing down on Ye Chen's head but was blocked by the lid.

"Bang!"

The glow from the lid dimmed, Ye Chen's golden body dissipated, and he stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. It was disgraceful, but he didn't die.

"Oh? He actually blocked my palm strike?" Daomie said, surprised.

Daomie hadn't used his full strength, but the strike was enough to kill any ordinary Sovereign! Ye Chen hadn't yet ascended to the Other Shore, yet he had endured the attack, much to Daomie's astonishment.

"This child's combat power is dazzling, certainly no weaker than the Heavenly Emperor. Moreover, he possesses a significant treasure, allowing him to withstand that strike!" Kaishan observed everything.

"That barrier!"

Seeing the lid above Ye Chen's head, Zhiyang's breathing became tight, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light, as if he made a startling discovery.

"Boom!"

Zhiyang made his move, a fiery hand tearing through the sky and reaching for the lid above Ye Chen's head.

"..."

Ye Chen's aura grew increasingly strong; his speed, increasingly fast, leaving the fiery hand behind.

Ye Chen didn't want to reveal his identity as the Heavenly Emperor, because once exposed, a death calamity would be upon him. But with the three Sovereigns coming at him, if Ye Chen continued to hide his true strength, he would perish in the streets. If he unleashed his full brilliance, he might have a chance at survival. In such a situation, Ye Chen had to fight with all his might.

Ye Chen didn't want to die unremarkably, as that wouldn't do justice to his flair. Even if he were to die, he would do so spectacularly, blinding everyone's titanium alloy dog eyes!

"This is... the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot!" Daomie suddenly realized.

"Boom!"

Kaishan unleashed the power of the limitless, stepping across infinite time and space to arrive before Ye Chen.

"Is it time to reveal myself?!"

Kaishan's oppressive force came bearing down, causing Ye Chen to feel repressed, instinctively wanting to unleash his power and reveal his true form.

"The Heaven-devouring Pot is a supreme treasure; how could a junior like you possess it? Hand it over!" Kaishan thundered like a colossal deity, with Ye Chen unable to cross him.

"You bastard!" Ye Chen scoffed.

"Ignorant fool!"

Sovereign Kaishan had already harbored a killing intent, and Ye Chen's further insults only intensified it!

"You're merely oppressing me with your power because I'm younger," Ye Chen sneered. "If we were at the same realm, killing you would be like slaughtering a dog!"

Sovereign Kaishan was powerful and invincible, commanding fear and respect, but Ye Chen remained unimpressed.

The reason Sovereign Kaishan was so terrifying was simply that he had lived for too long and had cultivated for an extended period. If Ye Chen were to cultivate for a few hundred, or even a thousand years, he would be ten or a hundred times stronger than Sovereign Kaishan!

"Die, young one!" Sovereign Kaishan's fingers spread apart as he struck towards Ye Chen, making the heavens and the earth tremble beneath his palm.

"Boom!"

An enormous palm that blotted out the sky struck not Ye Chen but Sovereign Kaishan.

"Daomie, what do you mean by this?" Sovereign Kaishan halted his advance, shattered the giant palm, and looked towards Sovereign Daomie with a look of surprise on his face.

The one who had launched the palm strike wasn't Ye Chen, but his ally, Sovereign Daomie!

"Kaishan, this kid has the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot on him. Whoever wants it will have to rely on their own abilities now!"

Sovereign Daomie spoke bluntly, showing no consideration for the camaraderie between allies. The presence of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot on Ye Chen was a huge surprise to several Sovereigns, instantly causing disorder within their ranks.

"Sovereign Nanyang has arrived, followed closely by Master Lingyun; let's not waste any more time!"

"Enough toying with this kid, just smash him to death with one slap!"

The Sovereigns were peerless and invincible. Had they not taken pleasure in toying with Ye Chen, they would have already killed him outright.

At this moment, the sudden appearance of the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot on Ye Chen caused the group of Sovereigns to lose their composure, as they wanted to kill Ye Chen first and snatch the Pot!

"Kill!"

Daomie, Zhiyang, and the others, with blazing eyes, charged towards Ye Chen, eager to quash an extraordinary genius.

"..."

Ye Chen's expression tensed, his fists clenched tight. A peerless aura brewed within his chest, ready to unleash the Heavenly Emperor Fist. Rather than being condemned to obscurity, Ye Chen chose to fight back, seizing even the slimmest chance for survival!

But in the end, Ye Chen didn't reveal himself, because his reinforcements had arrived!

"Rumble——"

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a horde of Sovereigns clashed fiercely, shattering mountains and reversing the cosmos.

"Daomie, Zhiyang, Kaishan, Nanyang, even if I can't kill you all, I will annihilate your disciples. I want your sects to live in constant turmoil!" Master Lingyun, wielding the Jade Blood Coagulating Sword, tore through endless nothingness and finally reached the fray, roaring at the four Sovereigns.

"How dare you bully my Disciples, thinking Baihua Palace is unguarded?"

Qi Li, suddenly appearing in this realm, joined Master Lingyun in battle. A scarlet sash flowed from her form, dancing through the world, snapping mountains and rivers, and fiercely charging the four great Sovereigns.

"Primordial Holy Land, Southern Barbarian Palace, Holy Flame Palace, Church of Eternal Life... I will slaughter every Disciple of your four factions I encounter!" Master Qian Qiu declared high and mighty, her words chilling to the bone with the intent to bloodily purge their disciples.

"Kill!" Master Zi Yan, wielding treasures of the heavens, made a forceful assault.

Although Master Zi Yan was usually low-key within her palace, her strength was tremendous; having condensed the Other Shore Palace and wielding treasures of the heavens, she was undeniably an invincible Sovereign!

"Ye Chen is our Disciple, the heir of the Twelve Golden Hairpins. Yet you dare to bully our Disciple, you truly deserve to be punished and killed!" Tian Yu, Wei Xiang, and Qin Yue, four Sovereigns, arrived one after another.

Master Lingyun, transformed into a fierce slayer, shook the very foundations of this realm and summoned her allies. In the blink of an eye, seven of the Twelve Golden Hairpins had assembled!

"Kaishan, you've always been disrespectful because of your age, but to think you still act so shamelessly despite being near the grave!" Master Qian Qiu said.

The seas of Canglan were vast, the ten continents expansive, but the Sovereigns were few, and they were all well-acquainted. Qian Qiu had had previous frictions with Kaishan.

"Let's go!"

Ignoring Qian Qiu's taunts, Sovereign Kaishan fought as he spoke to Zhiyang and the others.

"..."

The Twelve Golden Hairpins were all domineering, and after a chaotic battle, the four great Sovereigns were already wounded. Although not fatally injured, they were certainly contemplating retreat.

Sovereign Kaishan was the first to flee the scene. He had a feud with Master Qian Qiu and now, wanting to kill her Disciple, he would likely face retribution if he stayed.

With Sovereign Kaishan's departure, Zhiyang, Daomie, and Nanyang lost the desire to continue fighting and departed as well.

"Turtles flying in the sky, come down to your grandpa right now; I'll duel each of you!" Seeing the four Sovereigns retreat, Ye Chen immediately roared at them.

"..."

Ye Chen's words were wildly arrogant, infuriating the four Sovereigns, almost motivating them to turn back and duel, to slap him to death.

"My sparing you is already an act of mercy, and yet you still wish to rescue someone?"

The four Sovereigns intended to take a group of young supremes with them, which enraged Ye Chen, his eyes spewing fire. He took out the Soaring Dragon Halberd from his Qiankun Bag and furiously assailed the four Sovereigns.

"Impudent youth, you seek death!" Unable to tolerate any further, Sovereign Daomie struck out with a sword beam at Ye Chen, aiming to cleave him in two.

"Boom!"

Qi Li, guarding right above him, nullified Daomie's attack, and Ye Chen continued to hop and skip about energetically.

"Splash!" Ye Chen arrived next to Sovereign Daomie, the Soaring Dragon Halberd slicing through the void, and chopped off a leg.
