Ye Chen departed with an emperor-like grace, leaving the seven mighty warriors stunned, everyone was dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Emperor broke the ancient forbidden power and has walked ahead of all beings, becoming an unbelievable existence.

Though the seven mighty warriors were fierce, they could barely withstand the might of the Heavenly Emperor!

Yet, that overwhelmingly advantageous Heavenly Emperor unexpectedly retreated, leaving many bewildered.

This is not scientific!

However, there were those who understood the predicament of the Heavenly Emperor.

This place is the Canglan Realm, a life forbidden zone, the Heavenly Emperor is ultimately an outsider, heavily constrained here.

The seven mighty warriors are all dao seedlings, future pillars of the Canglan Realm; if the Heavenly Emperor truly dared to strike them down, it would undoubtedly provoke the Saints to suppress him!

The rivalry between the Heavenly Emperor and the seven heroes was personal vendetta, but if he strikes them down, it would become enmity between the realms!

The Heavenly Emperor cannot strike decisively here, and must worry about the seven heroes' counterattack, so why not retreat?

Moreover, someone noticed that the Heavenly Emperor seemed urgent, as if there was still something to handle, which is why he retreated without hesitation.

"Heavenly Emperor, this man has an unparalleled demeanor; if we let him go, he would definitely be a super scourge!" Baize watched the Heavenly Emperor's departure and said to Gu Yongheng and others. "Why don't we risk it once and try to keep him here!"

The Heavenly Emperor broke the ancient forbidden power, walked ahead of all beings, surpassing the king of prodigies, and once risen, he can definitely be called the supreme of the world!

However, the Heavenly Emperor is not a Canglan being, but an outsider!

There have been many frictions between the Canglan Realm and Earth; if this collision becomes fierce, it might spark a battle between the realms, and then the Heavenly Emperor would be a major scourge!

"Even if we risk it, can we keep him?" Qin Changtian asked. "The Heavenly Emperor fears us risking it, but aren't we afraid of him risking it?"

"The Heavenly Emperor broke the ancient forbidden power and walked ahead of all beings; even if we risk it, we might not keep him!"

The king of prodigies has life-preserving Divine Skills, doesn't the Heavenly Emperor have them?

This is the concern of the seven mighty warriors!

"Boom!"

As the seven mighty warriors hesitated, heroes remained silent, watching the Heavenly Emperor leave, a giant skeletal hand appeared in the sky and earth, reaching for the Heavenly Emperor and an emperor.

This hand was white as jade, gleaming with bright silver-gray, shrouded in a mysterious force.

The grab altered the winds and heavens, the earth trembled, giving a sense of irresistible pressure.

"Skeleton Sovereign!" Tianshi exclaimed upon seeing the skeletal hand.

"What?" Qin Changtian altered his expression. "Is the legend of Skeleton Mountain true? Is there really a Skeleton Sovereign here?"

Skeleton Mountain is a forbidden place; if an emperor delves into this mountain, no one would dare to trespass here.

Skeleton Mountain is an undead realm, filled with skeletal armies, absolutely off-limits to the living.

Moreover, a Skeleton King is lurking in Skeleton Mountain, a peak human king!

In summary, Skeleton Mountain is a fierce ground that even Saints would not easily touch!

The seven mighty warriors and the Heavenly Emperor clashed, not drawing the Skeleton King; now, as the Heavenly Emperor finishes the battle and prepares to leave, the Skeleton King appears, shocking everyone deeply.

What is the Skeleton King intending to do, does he want to suppress the Heavenly Emperor?

"Boom!"

The terrifying skeletal hand loomed, as Ye Chen showed no fear, his body erupted with a torrent of energy, proactively striking the skeletal hand.

Ye Chen was unfamiliar with the Skeleton Sovereign's legend, but he knew the comer was exceedingly horrifying!

The person did not show up, but merely manifested Divine Transformation Skill, already wielding devastating power, at least a human king!

Yet, Ye Chen's sharpness was exposed, utterly fearless!

When Saints arrive, step on Saints, when Kings arrive, fight Kings!

"Boom boom boom!"

Ye Chen was akin to a humanoid beast, fiercely clashing with the skeletal hand, instantly stirring a storm, sweeping the heavens and earth.

Ye Chen's strength was evident, but the skeletal hand was boundless; it captured Ye Chen, intending to refine him alive.

However, Ye Chen unleashed cosmic energy, immune to all methods; the skeletal hand got hold of him but could hardly harm him.

"Boom!"

In the end, Ye Chen left hand Yin-Yang, right hand eternity, performed the strongest mystery, blasting the skeletal hand, scattering it across the sky and earth.

"..."

As the skeletal hand dispersed, everyone displayed shock, showing even more reverence for the Heavenly Emperor.

Everyone knew who unleashed the skeletal hand.

Yet, despite that terrifying figure's strike, he could not suppress the Heavenly Emperor, leaving everyone astounded.

The Skeleton Sovereign was indeed a legendary presence, not showing traces for nearly a millennium; although not yet a Great Saint, near enough!

Yet, such a mythical legend could not suppress the Heavenly Emperor; what kind of concept is this?

"..."

The world fell silent, everyone held their breath, seemingly anticipating something, waiting for something.

The Skeleton Sovereign failed one strike, he would definitely reveal his true form; everyone awaited this great presence's arrival!

"Boom boom boom!"

Skeleton Mountain trembled unpredictably, an aura exploded from the belly, shaking the heavens and earth.

"Emperor, will my daughter call me dad?"

In the tense atmosphere, Ye Chen asked a seemingly random question.

"No way!" The Emperor paused for a moment before responding.

"Why not?" Ye Chen frowned. "My daughter is four or five years old, right? She can go buy soy sauce, and she can't call me dad?"

A woman carries a child for ten months, and Ye Chen had been away for nearly five years, so his daughter must be at least four. How could she not call him dad by now?

"It might be related to how she was raised," The Emperor mused.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen asked.

"Liu Shihua said you went off to flirt with women and abandoned them. Yun Zheyue outright said you were dead, hacked to death by ten thousand people!" The Emperor thought for a moment and then said.

Ye Chen: "..."

"Ye Chen, you must come back alive. They're all waiting for you!"

Skeleton Mountain was still trembling, as if a Demon King was being born, making the Emperor quite anxious.

The Emperor's thoughts were simple—if he could return alive, he would have completed his mission.

"What are you saying?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "A handsome man like me, there's only one in heaven and earth, would the heavens really let me die?"

"..."

"Such a promising young talent, cultivated for decades, breaking ancient taboos, becoming the foremost person in all realms!"

"If you were to prove your path to sainthood, even I couldn't suppress you!"

The tremors of Skeleton Mountain subsided, and a mass of white light appeared, blocking Ye Chen's path.

The white light was dazzling, making it difficult to see what lay within.

But Ye Chen's Heavenly Eye had already matured, nearly evolving into the supreme Heavenly Eye, naturally seeing through the mysteries of the white light.

"A skeleton?"

Ye Chen saw the presence within the white light, his pupils suddenly contracted as if facing a formidable foe.

The white light radiated a harmonious aura, seemingly like the light of the heavens, but within it sat a skeleton, giving an inexplicable sense of eeriness.

"Skull Monarch! Truly this ancient existence!"

Young Master Jingyang saw the white light and the skeleton, and the shock on his face could no longer be hidden.

"There are seven or eight Saint Kings in the life-forbidden zone, but the Skull Monarch is the strongest, comparable in status to a Great Saint!" Tianshi sighed.

The Skull Monarch was no ordinary skeleton; his origins were extremely mysterious, beyond even the traceability of a Great Saint.

However, the Skull Monarch was once very weak; he rose step by step from weakness to power!

The Skull Monarch was a legend in the forbidden zone, earning even the respect of the forbidden zone's children!

"The Skull Monarch, an overwhelmingly invincible existence, probably no weaker than Saint Chen Yun!" Jun Tianyou had obviously heard the legend of the Skull Monarch.

The strongest below a Great Saint was Saint Chen Yun! However, the Skull Monarch was also a legend, likely no weaker than Chen Yun!

"The Skull Monarch's lifespan matches the heavens, always in a state of slumber, how could he suddenly awaken?"

"Could it be that this monarch saw the extraordinariness of the Heavenly Emperor and wished to eliminate a great disaster in advance?"

The sudden appearance of the legendary Skull Monarch immediately aroused the suspicions of all.

"Senior, we are strangers to each other, why do you stop me?" Before the skeleton, Ye Chen did not show arrogance and lowered his stance.

"Are you the Lord of the Qilin?" the Skull Monarch asked.

"Yes!" Ye Chen knew he couldn't deny it, so he straightforwardly admitted it.

"I wish to become a Great Saint, and for that, I need to form flesh and blood... Could you give me the Qilin?" The Skull Monarch did not use pressure, speaking instead in a negotiating tone.

This monarch was so ancient that he almost matched Chen Yun, coming infinitely close to the Great Saint Realm.

However, the Skull Monarch was merely a skeleton, finding it extremely difficult to form his own flesh and blood, which was his greatest bottleneck, preventing him from advancing to Great Saint.

The Qilin was the king of mythical beasts, a heavenly auspicious beast, its body and blood tremendously nourishing, greatly valuable to the Skull Monarch.

"The Qilin is of great use to me, no matter who requests it, I will not yield it!" Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen did not deceive the Skull Monarch by claiming the Qilin was with Dragon Esteem... such petty tricks could not deceive the Skull Monarch!

The Skull Monarch was an absolute pinnacle figure, more terrifying than Saint Linglong; such a person mastered causality, making it impossible for anyone to deceive him.

"Where is the Qilin?" the Skull Monarch asked.

"I've hidden it away!" Ye Chen said with a smirk.

"Alright." The Skull Monarch nodded, but since his head was a skull, a slight nod was extremely peculiar.

"Ye Chen, this skeleton is so scary, he won't kill us, right?" The Emperor said nervously behind Ye Chen.

The Emperor's cultivation on Earth was definitely among the top ranks; without the ancient noble families emerging, only Yun Zheyue could overshadow her, making her the second most formidable person on Earth.

However, upon arriving in the Canglan Realm, she realized just how high the heavens were, how deep the earth was, and how powerful people could be.

There were too many powerful beings in the Canglan Realm; Land Gods were everywhere, Other Shore Grand Masters gathered in groups, and there were even prodigies like the king of the forbidden zone, monsters like these!

The Emperor was truly amazed and knew she could boast to Yun Zheyue and Yun Xianghan about these experiences when she returned to Earth.

But when the Skull Monarch appeared, the Emperor was shaken to her core, feeling like she might never return.

The skeletal life form before them exceeded the Emperor's understanding, giving her the sensation of being in the presence of a deity!

The Emperor was absolutely certain that the skeleton was undoubtedly a Saint, and among Saints, it was a terrifying existence!

The Emperor had a strong intuition... Ye Chen could not defeat this skeleton!
