"Senior, are you going to make a move against me?" Ye Chen looked at the Skeleton Sovereign and asked.
The Skeleton Sovereign showed no intent to kill, but he blocked Ye Chen's way, which made Ye Chen suspicious and unsure, unable to guess his intentions.
However, the Skeleton Sovereign's powerful aura made Ye Chen not dare to act recklessly!
This is a truly invincible figure, far surpassing someone like Linglong, almost on par with the Great Saint.
Though Ye Chen had some foundation, it was difficult to resist the might of the skeleton!
"The calamity of world destruction is about to descend. You have broken the ancient taboo. If you grow up, you will definitely be of great use!" The Skeleton Sovereign raised his skull, looking at Ye Chen. "However, I very much want to obtain the qilin, and since you are not willing to give it to me, this puts me in a difficult position!"
Although the Skeleton Sovereign is an undead, he is a transcendent being, caring for the myriad beings in the world, and would not bully a rising talent like Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen stubbornly held onto the qilin and was unwilling to facilitate the success of another, leaving the Skeleton Sovereign undecided about whether to kill.
"Senior, I want to invite you!" Ye Chen suddenly said.
"An invitation?" the Skeleton Sovereign replied.
"I wish to create the supreme Heaven's Court to resist the future calamity!" Ye Chen said. "Now, I want to invite you to settle in Heaven's Court and take charge of a region!"
"Heaven's Court?" the Skeleton Sovereign said. "Above the Nine Heavens, the court of the heavens? This name is quite good, subtly reflecting the Heavenly Dao, very imposing!"
"Senior, are you willing to settle in Heaven's Court?" Ye Chen said joyfully.
"When did I agree to settle in?" the Skeleton Sovereign said. "Moreover, if I do settle in, who will be the master?"
"I am the master, and you are the vice-master!" Ye Chen said with an awkward smile.
"So what you mean is that you want me to be your subordinate?" the Skeleton Sovereign's thoughts emitted a somewhat strange flavor.
"You could put it that way..." Ye Chen sheepishly said. "However, you're not really a subordinate because you are second to none but me... you're just below me!"
"How many people are in Heaven's Court now?" the Skeleton Sovereign asked.
"Right now, it's just me..." Ye Chen said, at this point so sheepish he couldn't speak.
"I admire your courage!" the Skeleton Sovereign said.
"..."
Looking at Ye Chen's extravagant antics, the One Emperor was utterly speechless.
Faced with the presence of the Skeleton Sovereign, where do you find the confidence to string him along for so long?
"Heavenly Emperor, is he fearless because he knows not, or is he purposely seeking death?"
"The Skeleton Sovereign stands peerless, his power directly rivals that of the Great Saint. Ye Chen dares to be so presumptuous, truly ignorant of life and death!"
"The courage of the Heavenly Emperor is truly immense, daring to jest with the Skeleton Sovereign like this. It is like courting death!"
"..."
Ye Chen and the Skeleton Sovereign's conversation was not deliberately hidden and everyone heard it.
However, this dialogue left the heroes stunned, abuzz, and incredulous, not knowing how to evaluate it!
The Skeleton Sovereign is a great existence, and Ye Chen dared to fool around with him, leaving everyone in awe of his courage.
Before so many people, to tease the Skeleton Sovereign like treating a three-year-old child, it's even more refreshing than pickled mustard greens!
Some were already speculating about the ending, foreseeing that Ye Chen would definitely be slapped to death by the Skeleton Sovereign, leaving no bone fragments!
"Two choices!" the Skeleton Sovereign said. "Give up the qilin, or die!"
Ye Chen broke the ancient taboo. If he could grow, he would definitely be an invincible figure, pivotal in the future calamity.
The Skeleton Sovereign did not want to stifle Ye Chen, but Ye Chen dared to make fun of him, which angered the great king.
"Senior, if I don't hand over the qilin, would you make a move against her?" Ye Chen pointed at the One Emperor and asked.
The atmosphere became subtle after the Skeleton Sovereign appeared. They were calm, as if not about to fight but like old friends meeting.
"This woman has a Dragon Clan's divine artifact on her. If I strike her, I would entangle with the causes and effects of the Dragon Clan!" the Skeleton Sovereign said frankly. "Dragon Esteem is an unparalleled overlord, and Long Zhen's cultivation also surpasses mine... I won't cross the Dragon Clan!"
The seven saints of the Dragon Clan are all invincible, especially Dragon Esteem and Long Zhen, who are of the Great Saint level.
Even if the Skeleton Sovereign ruled over a forbidden zone, he did not want to become enemies with the seven saints!
Although the Dragon Clan's glory is no more, only the seven saints and Long Chan remain. Yet, such a Dragon Clan is even more daunting!
During the prosperity of the Dragon Clan, the seven saints needed to take care of their people and did not dare genuinely to become enemies, never to rest until death. But now that their people are gone, the seven saints have no more scruples and can act freely and unrestrained.
Therefore, under such circumstances, no one dares to offend the Dragon Clan, not even the Great Saints!
The Dragon Clan's divine artifact has been branded, anyone daring to challenge its dignity must face the wrath of the Dragon Clan.
So even if you kill the One Emperor and seize the Dragon Clan's divine artifact, you would be pursued by the Dragon Clan and also endure the fury of the seven saints!
If not for this cause and effect, the One Emperor would have been besieged by the heroes already.
"One Emperor, things are far more complicated than I imagined. Chaos is about to erupt. You must protect yourself..." Ye Chen sent a message to the One Emperor, seemingly advising her, instructing something.
"Hmm?" The Skeleton Sovereign looked around, his hollow eye sockets suddenly ignited with divine fire. "What is extraordinary about this child? They have been provoked?"
"..."
At this moment, all things were silent, a kind of oppression suddenly arose, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.
"Strange, the ancestor has actually awakened?" Baize suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He sensed an aura, belonging to his mysterious ancestor.
Baize's ancestor was a powerful king among humans, peerless in battle, roaming unchallenged through forbidden zones of life.
However, Baize's ancestor had long been in slumber, and his sudden awakening and concealment here left Baize shocked, not knowing what had transpired.
"My grandfather's aura, how has the old man showed up here?" Jingyang's heart stirred; his grandfather had actually arrived?!
"Terrifying beings have descended, hidden in the darkness, and there's more than one... Why have they come?" Gu Yongheng looked towards several directions, discovering mysteries, his heart gradually growing heavy.
"Just what has happened for so many powerful figures to gather?"
The seven great experts were all kings of prodigies, close to the realm of human kings, hence they sensed the subtleties.
In this place, it seems a group of mighty beings descended, each one a peerless human king, lurking in the shadows with unknown intentions.
"Why do I suddenly feel an oppressive weight in my heart, as if the heavens are about to collapse?"
A group of terrifying beings hid everywhere, disrupting the order, laws, and Heavenly Dao, making many feel discomfort, as though a large stone was pressing against their chest.
However, they had not proven their path to sainthood and could not compare to kings of prodigies, even if sensing something amiss, they did not know the cause.
"Elder, I am ready, I humbly ask for your guidance!" Ye Chen looked at the Skeleton Lord and spoke.
At this moment, he restrained his arrogance, becoming a modest junior, leaving many feeling the surreal.
"Your mindset is quite alright!" The Skeleton Lord nodded, "However, your body seems to hide secrets that many strong beings covet; capturing you to obtain the unicorn may require great effort."
Having cultivated to the Skeleton Lord's level, one's mental state becomes unruffled; even upon encountering life-and-death enemies, one can maintain inner peace and harmony.
Although Ye Chen had offended him, the Skeleton Lord harbored no intention to kill, instead admiring this young man.
One can play the fool, pretend to be steady, flexible and adaptable, can become a great dragon!
"Boom!"
A chilling scene unfolded, the Heavenly Emperor displayed a reckless spirit, actually striking first against the Skeleton Lord!
Under the shocked gaze of the heroes, an overwhelming fist intent descended upon the Skeleton Lord, stirring turbulent waves.
Such reckless defiance, ignorance of fear, doing oneself in... none could describe Ye Chen at this moment, as he was clearly courting death!
"Boom rumble!"
The surging fist wind engulfed the Skeleton Lord, yet this great being emanated sanctity, preventing the Heavenly Emperor's fist from nearing!
The indestructible, unbreakable Heavenly Emperor's fist dispersed its power automatically before touching the Skeleton Lord, unable to reach even slightly.
Since Ye Chen mastered the Heavenly Emperor's fist, such a situation had never occurred before; the fist seemed to fear this skeleton?!
"This is the gap between quality and quantity!" Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's heart shook, "My quantity has been reached, but without qualitative change, I cannot rival the Skeleton Lord... This is the divide between me and the supreme beings!"
The occurrence was not due to Ye Chen being too weak, but the Skeleton Lord being too strong!
The Heavenly Emperor's fist was the foremost technique of the time, unquestionably acknowledged, even by the Dragon Esteem.
Yet, Ye Chen himself was still far too weak, a big difference from supreme beings!
If Ye Chen could prove the path and become a saint, fighting the Skeleton Lord would not be like this.
However, Ye Chen had not reached sainthood yet, unable to defy heaven at this moment.
"Boom!"
The Skeleton Lord sat in the void, reaching a giant hand towards Ye Chen, a hand supporting heavens.
"Elder is a great virtue, I am not your match, willingly accepting submission!"
In an unexpected scenario, facing suppression from the Skeleton Lord, Ye Chen surprisingly did not resist, choosing to sit and await capture, leaving everyone stunned.
The unruly Heavenly Emperor actually surrendered, which defied logic!
Yet, the Skeleton Lord was overwhelmingly powerful, his combat prowess nearly rivaling the Great Saint; Ye Chen, even if not surrendering, could not resist.
"Boom!"
The Skeleton Lord grasped with a large hand, capturing Ye Chen into his hand, imprisoning him.
"Sizzle!"
After the Skeleton Lord seized Ye Chen, he immediately aimed to tear apart the void and leave the place.
However, just as the Skeleton Lord attempted to depart, a towering human figure suddenly appeared, attacking fiercely against the Skeleton Lord, blocking his retreat.
"What, someone struck the Skeleton Lord, who could have such boldness?" This scene shocked the heroes, feeling incredulous.
The Skeleton Lord was at the peak of human kings, second only to several Great Saints, an absolute pinnacle presence.
Yet, a towering human figure broke through and assaulted the Skeleton Lord, truly sending chills down the spine.
How indomitable the Skeleton Lord was, who dared to make a move against him?
"Dragon Tiger Sage, he is the one who struck the Skeleton Lord!"
"Dragon Tiger Sage is also a human king, at the same level as the Skeleton Lord, no wonder he dared to show himself and strike!"
"Why does Dragon Tiger Sage strike, does he also want the unicorn?"
The emergence of Dragon Tiger Sage astounded the heroes, filled with shock and suspicion.
Saints are as elusive as mythical dragons, saint kings even more so, existing only in legends.
At this moment, two human kings appeared simultaneously, igniting a world-shattering battle, leaving everyone astonished and discolored.
