During the time Phoenix Dance had disappeared, she had been forming alliances.
Having seen through Ye Chen and Qin Yan's affair, Phoenix Dance feared they would silence her by killing her. So, she traveled far and wide, rallying a group of prodigies, including the man in white robes.
However, even if Phoenix Dance intended to suppress Ye Chen, she hadn't had the chance to make her move... Why would Ye Chen get into trouble with the man in white robes?
"Phoenix Dance, was it you who ordered the man in white to attack Ye Chen?" Qin Yan demanded coldly.
Phoenix Dance's sudden appearance at the scene, with the man in white robes guarding by her side, made Qin Yan suspicious.
"Not me," Phoenix Dance said indifferently.
"It wasn't you?" Qin Yan asked hesitantly.
"Man in white, you…" Phoenix Dance turned to the man in white robes, wanting to ask about the cause of the incident.
But before Phoenix Dance could finish, the man in white interrupted her. "I was born a killer, I kill whoever I see. This kid had bad luck meeting me, so naturally, I wanted to kill him!"
"..."
The man in white robes was brimming with arrogance, rude and overbearing, definitely a rebellious character. However, everyone present was a peerless genius, and the man's arrogance only made some of them secretly laugh.
Kill whoever you see?
Would a Saint dare say such a thing?!
"Kid, I'll give you a chance to live. As long as you kneel and kowtow to me, I'll spare your life today!" The man in white said arrogantly, actually demanding Ye Chen to kowtow to him.
"Phoenix Dance, are you guys in this together?" Ye Chen ignored him and asked Phoenix Dance instead.
"We used to be, but not anymore!" Phoenix Dance said gravely.
The man in white robes came from a powerful lineage, and he himself was a young supreme. After ascending to the other shore, his combat power soared to the heavens!
Phoenix Dance had put a lot of effort into winning over the man in white robes.
But he was too arrogant and did not heed her commands!
Phoenix Dance had long intended to dismiss him, but feared the backlash from the man in white robes.
But now, the man in white had clashed with Ye Chen, which was perfect for Phoenix Dance to add fuel to the fire, casting this trouble to Ye Chen, hoping they would both suffer greatly in the fight!
"You!" The man in white robes' face changed.
"Haha, you are just a pawn to her, one that can be easily sacrificed!" Ye Chen laughed.
"Phoenix Dance uses me as a pawn, and I see her as prey, we were merely cooperating!" the man in white robes sneered.
All the prodigies around Phoenix Dance were unparalleled, each one defiant and unrivaled. Why would they respect Phoenix Dance?
The answer was simple, they all liked Phoenix Dance!
As Baihua Palace's Saintly girl, Phoenix Dance was exceptionally beautiful and had a prestigious status and temperament—irresistible to any man.
Especially for someone as young as the man in white, Phoenix Dance's beauty and status were fatally attractive!
"So that's how it is!" Realization dawned on Ye Chen, and he laughed.
As a favored daughter of the heavens like Phoenix Dance, she would be highly sought after anywhere. Marrying a Saintly girl as a wife would be prestigious to proclaim!
"Kid, you dare defy me. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" The man in white robes didn't target Phoenix Dance, but instead pointed his spear at Ye Chen. "Kneel and admit your wrongdoing, and I will spare your life!"
"Who gave you such confidence?" Ye Chen laughed brilliantly and asked.
"Hahaha." The man in white robes sneered menacingly. "I know you are very powerful, but are you stronger than me?"
"Why can't I be?" Ye Chen countered.
"I have fused with a primordial rarity, my cultivation far exceeds that of an average sovereign. My strength is beyond your imagination!" the man in white robes stated confidently.
"You're so silly!" Ye Chen was at a loss for words, finding them too foolish to even mock.
My strength is beyond your imagination? Not even a Saint would dare make such a claim!
All powerful individuals possess a heart of reverence: a respect for the universe, the unknown, and the eternal.
But the man in white robes knew no fear and was truly annoying, tempting one to point a finger at his nose and curse.
"Kid, kneel and kowtow quickly, or else I will strike and kill you!" the man in white robes ranted obliviously, wanting Ye Chen to kneel and kowtow to him.
"Boom!"
Ye Chen, having seen the foolishness of his opponent, didn't bother with more nonsense. He exploded with Divine Skills and let his actions express his stance.
In an instant, the might of the other shore swept out, and a huge hand emerged, reaching for the man in white with tyrannical force, unleashing a terrifying storm.
"Kid, you dare to strike at me, an ant challenging a dragon?" the man in white robes roared. "You're dead for sure. Not even a Saint could save you now!"
"Soul-breaking Spear!"
The man in white robes' long spear swept out, transforming into a heaven-rending long lance, striking toward the hand of nothingness that Ye Chen had manifested.
"Rumble!"
Following a loud noise, the hand of nothingness shattered, and the man in white's spear demonstrated its might. Despite his arrogance, his cultivation was truly exceptional!
However, just as everyone was astonished, a shocking scene unfolded.
"Seeking trouble with me, demanding I kowtow and admit wrong... Who gave you the courage?" An aggressive Ye Chen appeared, flashing a stone seal in his hand, and slammed it down on the man in white robes.
"You're courting death!"
The man in white robes thrust his spear, tearing through the sky and shattering the earth, causing the world to boil over.
"Boom!"
While the man in white robes held a heaven-defying treasure with infinite divine might, Ye Chen's power surged exponentially, like a god or devil. The stone seal in his hand expanded infinitely, smacking the man in white robes and sending him flying!
Ye Chen's display left everyone breathless. Using a heavenly treasure like a brick, this young man was outrageously bold!
"You little punk, daring to trouble the big boss for no reason—did you even ask your second grandpa for permission?" Ye Chen's momentum was unabated as he swore and struck at the white-robed figure again.
"Boom!"
To everyone's shock, the same scene unfolded once more; with a slap of Ye Chen's seal, the white-robed man was sent flying again, without any suspense or resistance!
"Bastard!" the white-robed man cursed as he stumbled to his feet, glaring furiously at Ye Chen.
"Kid, why are you trembling all over? Did grandpa smack you silly?" Ye Chen approached the man in white, calling himself grandpa and the man a child, as if a grandfather was reprimanding his grandson.
"You're asking for it!" The white-robed man roared in fury, his long spear trembling as he pointed it toward Ye Chen.
"Come on, hit me!" Ye Chen stepped forward aggressively, advancing toward the white-robed man.
"..."
The man's face was a study in conflict; seeing Ye Chen press forward again, he actually chose to retreat, as if scared off by Ye Chen's strikes.
"Punk, come hit me, come kill me—why aren't you moving?" Ye Chen taunted aggressively. "I know you're scared of me, scared I'll smack you flying with one brick!"
"..."
All onlookers wore strange expressions; Ye Chen's insults were impressively crafted—this guy was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"You're asking for it!"
Ye Chen's strength was astonishing and immobilizing for the man in white, who had endured much—but Ye Chen's relentless provocation now enraged him.
"Right, I am seeking death—so hurry up and kill me!" Ye Chen said with a mocking grin.
The man in white was trembling with rage, his hands shaking so much that he felt an impulse to slap himself.
Ye Chen's cultivation was exceptional, far beyond his expectations, and now he somewhat regreted provoking Ye Chen.
"Punk, come on and kill me—I can hardly wait!"
Ye Chen advanced with an unstoppable momentum, approaching the white-robed man like the Grey Wolf pouncing on Pleasant Goat.
"This person's presence is so strong, it far exceeds ours!"
Ye Chen's unstoppable force left everyone in awe—his demeanor was simply astonishing!
The man in white kept retreating, no longer wanting to engage with Ye Chen.
"Punk, why are you running? Why don't you take action?"
"Grandson, remember this—if you don't dare to make a move, then cut the bullshit!"
"You're such a punk—does your mom know?"
Ye Chen was indeed a skilled fighter, quite capable of offending others with his words; those he berated could circle the earth three times if they were lined up.
"Enough!" the white-robed man bellowed, his roar shaking the heavens and earth.
"..."
Ye Chen swallowed to moisten his throat; after cursing for so long, his mouth was getting dry.
"You think I can't beat you? You think I don't dare to kill you?"
A terrifying aura was brewing in the white-robed man, as if a Primordial God Demon was lurking within him, ready to unleash an invincible power at any moment.
"I've been biting my tongue, just brewing my Divine Skills to obliterate you in one move, leaving you with no escape or place to hide!" The man burst forth with an invincible energy, and the specter of a God Demon emerged behind him.
"I've merged with a drop of God Demon blood, rising to the supreme other shore, capable of summoning the soul of the God Demon to aid in my battle!"
With the God Demon looming behind him, an invincible aura swept over them, causing the cosmos to pale and the celestial river to flow backward, as if heaven and earth couldn't withstand his pressure!
"Boy, you've thoroughly enraged me—resign yourself to death!"
The white-robed man took a step forward, the God Demon matching his stride, slamming down a palm toward Ye Chen, overwhelmingly oppressive and sweeping.
"Boom!"
As the white-robed man struck, the God Demon behind him also moved, a massive demonic hand descending from the sky, attempting to crush Ye Chen with formidable force.
"What!" The man's terrifying outburst sent shock waves through all onlookers.
There are hierarchies among God Demons: the Neolithic, the Paleolithic, the Ancient, and the Primordial God Demon!
The strength of Neolithic God Demons is the weakest, only at the level of a grandmaster; the Primordial God Demons are the strongest and most tyrannical, comparable to the might of a Saintly Great Power!
The white-robed man summoning a Primordial God Demon to battle was akin to wielding a sliver of a Saint's majesty!
Saints are invincible, and who could possibly stand against even a trace of their divine power?
However, just as the God Demon specter emerged, an even more shocking event occurred!
Ye Chen soared into the sky, surrounded by an Asura-like energy. He threw a punch, and the world boiled; the God Demon specter was shattered by his fist!
Ferocious, domineering, forceful, invincible… Yes, that's how dashing Ye Chen was!
"How, how is this possible!"
Everyone was stunned, even Long Chan showed a look of surprise upon witnessing this.
"This person embodies the Way of All Things, capable of utilizing, at most, sixty to seventy percent of his strength. If he were to display his full power..."
Because Ye Chen had cultivated the Way of All Things, Long Chan had a fresh memory of him. But she could never have imagined that in such a short time since their last encounter, Ye Chen had grown to this extent, nearly matching her own strength!
"Boom!"
Ye Chen fell from the sky, landing near the white-robed man with difficulty, and punched him until blood came from his mouth and nose.
"Punk, do you submit?" Ye Chen grabbed his clothes, swinging another punch at his face. "Also, try fighting more and talking less, got it?"
"..."
"Speak up!" Ye Chen punched the white-robed man until tears streamed down his face, he said.
