Ye Chen was still in a state of complete detachment, with several women guarding him, holding off a horde of terrifying enemies; the atmosphere was incredibly tense.

"Did Ye Chen suppress the Divine Artifact within his body?"

Ye Chen's condition was quite peculiar, making him somewhat unfathomable, so none of the powerful dared to act rashly.

"This man truly has great courage, turning himself into a prison to suppress the Divine Artifact!"

"But the Divine Artifact is the strongest Divine Weapon, how can a mere mortal body suppress it?"

"He is currently in a state of detachment; he might be suffering from a backlash!"

Everyone had their suspicions upon seeing Ye Chen's state.

"Saintess Heavenly Fire, you dare to launch a sneak attack on me, I despise you for a lifetime!" At that moment, Feng Wu got up from the ground and scornfully said to Saintess Heavenly Fire.

"You don't have a lifetime to live, I'll kill you right now!" Saintess Heavenly Fire said coldly.

"Damn it!"

Feng Wu usually exhibited the demeanor of a gentlewoman and seldom cursed people out like this. However, Saintess Heavenly Fire bullied her too much, and Feng Wu felt like swearing every time she saw her.

"Seeking death!" Saintess Heavenly Fire's voice was chilling as she fiercely struck out at Feng Wu.

A trail of Heavenly Dao fire emerged between heaven and earth, rolling crazily towards Feng Wu, burning the very void as if it would shatter—the terror was extreme.

Saintess Heavenly Fire, coming from the Holy Flame Palace, was born to control the origin of myriad fires, with great hope of proving to be a Saint, becoming a figure like the ancestors of the Holy Flame!

"Boom!"

Qing Luo took action. Her Martial Heavenly Eye erupted with dazzling brilliance, colliding with the Heavenly Dao flames.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As the two clashed, everyone else joined the fray.

Ye Chen, now detached from both mind and matter, had no ability to resist; no one wanted to miss the chance to take advantage of his vulnerability.

"You dare to take advantage of others' peril, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox protected Ye Chen at the front, her nine huge tails stirring chaos in the heavens and earth, warding off the approach of all the powerful enemies.

"Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, you are actually helping this human?!" roared the Abyss Demon King. "What in the world happened to cause such a change in you?"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was known for her solitude and rarely made connections with others. Furthermore, she was extremely cold-blooded and indifferent to all life, virtually without any friends.

At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, for the sake of a human, was challenging over a dozen supremes—this was somewhat inconceivable to the Abyss Demon King.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had always been cold-blooded and merciless—since when did she become so compassionate?

"The fox demon loves to consume yang energy. By defending Ye Chen like this, you must be wanting to absorb his yang energy!" Luo Badao erupted with a radiant glow, violently attacking the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and steadily pressing towards Ye Chen.

"Filthy scum, die!"

The eyes of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox were blood-red as her nine giant tails transformed into heavy hammers, smashing down ferociously on Luo Badao.

"Boom!"

Luo Badao was hit hard, his body shifting sideways, crashing into a huge rock before coming to a halt.

"Today, I am protecting Ye Chen. If any of you dare to take one step closer, I will fight you to the death!"

"Even if I can't defeat you all, I will still scratch your faces bloody!"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox howled to the sky, emanating a ferocity that sent a chill through everyone present.

"Boom!"

In that moment, Qing Luo unleashed her divine might, her eyes emitting two beams of divine light that swept across heaven and earth, striking against everyone.

"Rumble!"

Qing Luo and the Demon Fox battled against the strong, stopping them in their tracks.

However, they paid a heavy price for it, their clothes gradually turning red with blood, a hint of pallor appeared on their faces.

But they were not intimidated; they exuded only a fighting spirit soaring high!

"Qin Yan, as fiercely as they're fighting, could they die?" Feng Wu timidly asked.

With Qing Luo and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox being surrounded and wounded from head to toe, Feng Wu found the sight almost unbearable—it was too gruesome!

"Don't worry about them; you should be more concerned about yourself," Qin Yan said. "Qing Luo and the Demon Fox are extremely powerful. Even if they can't defeat the group attacking them, they should be able to escape with their lives."

"But once the strong close in, we won't even be able to escape!"

Qin Yan and Feng Wu's cultivation wasn't weak, but the people here were too strong, leaving them feeling powerless.

"Qing Luo, you are a heavenly maiden with a chance to prove yourself as a Saint. Why do you protect Ye Chen like this?"

Qing Luo was definitely a formidable figure; her Martial Heavenly Eye could see through all laws, sweeping away all things, posing a significant obstacle to everyone.

But for such a beautiful woman like Qing Luo, was it worth risking her life for a man?

Her delicate body, her stunningly beautiful face—she could drive countless men mad. Was it worth risking her life for a man?

"Ye Chen is my benefactor. If you seek to take his opportunity, I have to stand up for him!" Qing Luo's straightforward words reflected her stance, vowing to defend her "benefactor" Ye Chen to the death.

Qing Luo's determination was astonishing—as if, for Ye Chen, she could abandon life and death!

"If that's the case, then you can all go to die!" Jin Pengzi's ferocity was boundless, his pair of golden wings slicing through the air, creating a storm in the area.

"We don't wish to mercilessly destroy beauty, but since you refuse to back down, we can only clear the obstacles!" Luo Badao's arm burst into light, clashing fiercely with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, his killing intent reaching its zenith.

"Die!"

The Saintess Heavenly Fire, the Gemini Kings, Bai Mutian, the Abyss Demon King, Bai Mutian... everyone unleashed their ultimate fighting power, not wishing to delay any longer, fearing that any hesitation could lead to unforeseen changes.

"Boom!"

The battle escalated, becoming unprecedentedly brutal.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Divine Skills were torn apart by Shi Juetian, and her true form was sent flying by the Saintess Heavenly Fire, suffering severe damage.

With all the powerhouses utilizing their ultimate fighting power, Qing Luo also faced deadly peril. The Gemini Kings, Saintess Heavenly Fire, Hell Three-headed Dog... Five supreme beings joined forces, shattering her Martial Heavenly Eye, causing blood to flow from the corners of her eyes, inflicting unimaginable injuries.

Shi Juetian, the Gemini Kings, Saintess Heavenly Fire, the Abyss Demon King, the Hell Three-headed Dog, Bai Mutian, Jin Pengzi, Luo Badao, Long Chan!

All ten peerless characters worked together to besiege the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and Qing Luo, who could only defend, entirely lacking the power to counterattack.

In fact, the strongest among them, Long Chan, had been observing from the beginning and had never exerted her full strength; otherwise, they would have faced countless deaths and injuries long ago.

"The Divine Artifact inside Ye Chen must be the Wrath of the Dragon God!" Long Chan watched Ye Chen, her eyes flashing with a strange light. "But the aura of the Wrath of the Dragon God is fading, almost as if it is being assimilated by Ye Chen, and it looks like it's about to disappear altogether. What in the world is happening?"

Long Chan was well aware of the terror that Ye Chen represented, so she had been observing him all along, trying to understand his condition and waiting for an opportunity to snatch the Divine Artifact.

However, the aura of the Wrath of the Dragon God was becoming increasingly dim, almost as if it was about to evaporate into nothingness, which left Long Chan somewhat shocked and uncertain.

"Pfft!"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was sent flying by a punch from Shi Juetian, with the sound of bones breaking inside her body. She fell next to Ye Chen, coughing up blood profusely and unable to rise again.

"Ye Chen, I really owe you one. Just a moment's passion, and I've been fighting desperately for you!" the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox looked at Ye Chen, laughing miserably while spitting blood.

"Sister Fox Immortal, are you okay?" Feng Wu came over, trying to help the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox up.

"Don't touch me!" the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox said. "The muscles and bones in my body have exploded, and my body is now just a pile of mush; I simply can't stand up. You mustn't touch me, it would only worsen my injuries!"

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had fought fiercely against the strong, enduring countless attacks, with nearly all her bones shattered and even her internal organs cracked.

Moreover, Shi Juetian's last punch was so ferocious that it nearly shattered her life palace. It was extremely fortunate that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was still alive.

"Thud!"

Qing Luo's figure crashed at Ye Chen's feet. Her clothes were drenched in blood, and blood flowed from the corners of her eyes and mouth. She was miserably disheveled and in no better condition than the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

"Ye Chen, I've really done my best. If you don't wake up now, I can only die alongside you!" Qing Luo said with a pale smile, coughing up blood again while laughing, her appearance utterly battered.

"Qing Luo, you've really suffered!" Qin Yan walked up to Qing Luo, her expression complex.

Qin Yan had long realized that Qing Luo was Ye Chen's woman, but she had always felt like sisters with Qing Luo and didn't dare to face this fact, even harboring some resentment towards Qing Luo for competing with her for a man...

At this moment, seeing Qing Luo throwing herself into the fray selflessly for Ye Chen left Qin Yan feeling indescribably conflicted.

"Hehe," Qing Luo seemed to know what Qin Yan was thinking and gave a faint smile, as carefree as the wind passing through the clouds.

"Now that you're all crippled, how can you stop us?" Jin Pengzi sneered maliciously, advancing towards the several women.

There were more than ten supreme figures at this place, and when Jin Pengzi made a move, everyone followed suit, none wanting to be left behind.

"Why do you insist on seizing Ye Chen's Divine Artifact?" Qin Yan took a gentle step forward, blocking everyone and said. "Jin Pengzi, Luo Badao, Dragoness, the three of you all possess Divine Artifacts, so why are you not seeking theirs?"

"Qin Yan, are you trying to protect Ye Chen?" Saintess Heavenly Fire said coldly. "You know that Ye Chen and I are enemies!"

"Indeed!" the Gemini Kings said in unison. "Ye Chen almost killed our siblings; today, we must settle this score!"

"Hahaha!" Qin Yan burst into laughter, beautiful as a blooming array of flowers, radiant and captivating. "What enmity, what mortal foes—you brought this upon yourselves! Were it not for your deliberate trouble with Ye Chen, would you have been beaten down like lost dogs?"

These people wanted to rise above Ye Chen, but none succeeded; instead, they were humiliated by Ye Chen.

Thus, they kept defying him time and again, seeking confrontation over and over.

"It's useless to say anything now, just surrender obediently!" the group pressed forward, seeking to take advantage of their weakness and seize Ye Chen's Divine Artifact.

"I won't surrender without a fight unless you kill me!" Qin Yan stood in front of them, resolute and unwavering.

"Qin Yan, do you really think I won't dare to kill you?" Saintess Heavenly Fire said coldly.

"Is that so?" Qin Yan said. "Then please, kill me!"

"Ye Chen has never taken you seriously, never considering you as worthy opponents."

"But the moment you kill me, he will take you seriously, because he will kill you all to avenge me!"

Qin Yan spoke airily, yet her words sent chills down everyone's spines. Was Qin Yan trying to provoke Ye Chen's hatred by offering her own death, making him determined to kill them in vengeance?

"We are all unbeatable individuals; you can't scare us off with just a few words. Today, not only will you die, but Ye Chen will too!"

Jin Pengzi strode forward, aiming a punch at Qin Yan, filled with murderous intent.

"Boom!"

Qin Yan made no attempt to dodge and took the punch with her body, sent flying across the field.

"You all will die together!"

Jin Pengzi, with boundless ferocity, surged forward to the women, fists brimming with destructive power, launching a frenzied assault, seemingly determined to eradicate them entirely.

"It's over!"

As the women faced this onslaught, they felt engulfed by death, a bitter sorrow filling their hearts.

"Boom!"

At that moment, the sky brightened immensely, as Ye Chen opened his eyes.
