Ultimately, Ye Chen left Wu He abandoned in the wilderness to fend for himself and departed the battlefield with Qin Yan and Qing Luo.

Ye Chen entered seclusion for two months, during which the situation became increasingly tense. Young supremes continuously clashed fiercely, engaging in a final bout of madness.

Jin Pengzi, Luo Badao, Bai Mutian, Shi Juetian... these individuals made resounding names for themselves, sweeping through the temples undefeated, earning the title of invincibles.

However, strong as Jin Pengzi and others were, they were not the strongest; they were all being suppressed by Long Chan.

Jin Pengzi acquired the Dragon God's Battle Boots, and Luo Badao obtained the Dragon God's Arm Braces; their combat power was horrendously mighty, eliciting deep respect and fear from everyone, daring not to provoke their majesty.

Yet, Long Chan was so domineering and powerful that she not only challenged their authority but also sent both fleeing in panic, like dogs that had lost their homes.

After emerging from the Dragon Transformation Pool, Long Chan solidified her powers with the artifacts of the Other Shore Palace, her strength soaring above all others!

Moreover, she first acquired the Dragon God's Battle Armor, then the Dragon God's Cloak; two Divine Artifacts in her possession rendered her sacred and invincible, far surpassing Jin Pengzi and Luo Badao.

Now, the young supremes lay in wait, anticipating the emergence of Divine Artifacts.

The Dragon Clan has seven Divine Artifacts in total, and currently, only four have appeared; three Divine Artifacts are yet to be revealed.

Facing the temptation of Divine Artifacts, nobody could resist the urge to go mad for the chance of acquiring one.

"..."

Eighty-one young supremes roamed and plundered throughout the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple, nearly a year having passed by now.

In one year's time, half of the eighty-one young supremes died, but those who survived all gained tremendously.

When the year began, almost none of the eighty-one young supremes who entered the temple had ascended to the Other Shore.

But now, those who are alive have essentially all ascended to the Other Shore, and who knows how many treasures they have acquired.

Through a year of life-and-death struggles, the young supremes grew rapidly, becoming no weaker than the older generation. Even among them, the strongest few have caught up with and nearly surpassed the older powerhouses, almost stepping into the Saint Realm.

The treasures of the heavens no longer satisfied the young supremes, their thoughts now fixed on the Divine Artifacts!

Heavenly treasures could serve as a Saint's armaments, simply a casual weapon for Saints, but Divine Artifacts were the ultimate sacred weapons that even Saints coveted!

The ten major sects, massive as they were, possessed only two or three Divine Artifacts each, and some superpowers had but one.

Even superpowers couldn't control Divine Artifacts; it wasn't because the sects were too poor, but because Divine Artifacts were truly rare!

Divine Artifacts were so scarce that not every Saint could own one!

The brilliance of the Dragon Clan shone for eons, and with seven Saints coexisting within the clan, they accumulated seven Divine Artifacts, illustrating just how rare Divine Artifacts were.

Such ultimate sacred weapons showcased a clan's foundation, symbolized status, and represented glory!

The young supremes gained immensely within the temple, plundering countless treasures to the point where they grew indifferent to ordinary ones.

All young supremes longed for Divine Artifacts, knowing that obtaining just one could skyrocket their status to unparalleled heights—bringing honor to their ancestors and establishing a lasting legacy!

Jin Pengzi and Luo Badao, having acquired Divine Artifacts, became targets as several young supremes banded together, seeking to slay them and seize their Divine Artifacts.

But with two Divine Artifacts protecting her, Long Chan fought them off, forcing them to flee in terror, giving others no opportunity to intervene.

Now, all the young supremes lay in wait, expecting the last three Divine Artifacts to appear.

"..."

Upon learning these things, Ye Chen, like everyone else, chose to lie low and bide his time.

Moreover, Ye Chen realized that the fastest method of acquisition was the most primal one: plundering!

Ye Chen, having integrated Yu Jizi's memories, witnessed some terrifying scenes and gained an understanding of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

The apocalypse was incredibly ferocious, even Saints would fall. To survive the apocalypse, a lifetime of combined efforts was necessary! No matter how strong one was individually, they could not turn the tide of battle!

Yu Jizi was the overlord of the last era, his cultivation surpassed that of Saints, yet in the end, he still met with demise and death.

If the future apocalypse was so terrifying, even if Ye Chen surpassed the Saints, what then?

Thus, Ye Chen developed an idea, which was to cultivate his own power!

Only by expanding his forces and commanding the heavens could he control the discourse! It was like gang fights in the underworld – even if you were the boss, without lackeys by your side, you would be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

Ye Chen wanted to nurture his own force, to be a leader with sufficient backing!

To expand one's power, one needed a strong foundation. If you were broke, would others risk their lives for you?

To create a superpower, Ye Chen needed a large amount of treasures as chips, as leverage to draw in strong allies!

If Ye Chen could possess all of the Dragon Clan's ancient heritage within the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple, the grand plan in his heart would succeed!

Ye Chen's wild ambition to acquire the entire Dragon Clan's divine treasury was insane, but it was not impossible.

All the figures within the Ten Thousand Dragon Temple were young talents, not a single Saint among them!

If Ye Chen displayed his sharp edge and unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Fist without any reservations, who could stop him?

Ye Chen felt a wild impulse to transform into a Heavenly Emperor, sweeping through all directions, plundering all treasures!

"Ye Chen, your idea is too insane; if successful, you would plunder everything," Qing Luo said seriously. "But, you definitely should not do this!"

Ye Chen shared everything he was thinking with Qing Luo. While it was a good idea, Qing Luo did not support it one bit.

"Why not?" Ye Chen asked. "If I plunder everything, I can gather the seven Divine Artifacts, and then I can rival the Saints. Why should I not do this?"

Since becoming a figure of the palace level, Ye Chen's combat power had become terrifyingly formidable. Once blessed by the seven great Divine Artifacts, Ye Chen could definitely battle against Saints!

"Ye Chen, I know you are ambitious, but there are dozens of young supremes here, representing dozens of superpowers. You might stand against one superpower, or two, but can you stand against them all?" Qing Luo said.

"..."

"Once you transform into a Heavenly Emperor and plunder the sacred temple, you will offend everyone and become a target for the entire world!"

Ye Chen was betting everything in one go, burning his boats – an unwise decision. If Ye Chen insisted on proceeding, Qing Luo would definitely stop him with all her might!

"Qing Luo, do you hate me?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

"Hate you?" Qing Luo was visibly startled by his question.

"You discovered my identity secret, I almost killed you, and in the end, I used despicable means on you. Shouldn't you hate me?" Ye Chen asked.

"Hmph, you're so despicable and shameless, of course I hate you!" Qing Luo snapped through clenched teeth.

Qing Luo was seen as a fairy by the world, and Ye Chen had dared to treat her that way. How could she not hate him?

"You hate me, yet you still treat me this way, not letting me act rashly?" Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen's idea of transforming into a Heavenly Emperor and plundering wildly seemed feasible, but it was extremely dangerous. If Ye Chen went ahead with it, it would bring about enormous calamity!

Ye Chen knew it was not feasible, but he still spoke out. He wanted to test Qing Luo.

"I'm already yours, what difference does it make if I hate you?" Qing Luo said with a slight hint of complaint.

There's a saying that one follows their spouse no matter what. That was Qing Luo's current mindset, but thankfully, Ye Chen was far better than any chicken or dog.

"Qing Luo, listen to me very carefully. I don't care if you're a goddess or a fairy, in front of me, you are my woman!" Ye Chen declared dominantly. "No matter how strong-willed you are, in front of me, you must be docile. No matter how proud you are, in front of me, you must submit. No matter how dazzling you are, you can only belong to me alone!"
