"Boom!"

Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, another graceful figure appeared, swaying the heavens and earth, pressing toward the Skeleton Monarch to snatch away Ye Chen whom he had captured.

"Tianyi Sage!"

Someone saw this person's appearance and immediately showed shock.

Tianyi Sage was also a figure in the Human King Realm, but she tended to keep a low profile, rarely showing herself. Why did she suddenly appear?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As those present grew increasingly amazed and frightened, a terrifying scene unfolded once more.

High above the ninth heavens, the weather stirred, and several figures emerged, pressing towards the Skeleton Monarch!

"Zhi Wei Sage!"

"Saint Panghuang!"

"Saint Qian Qiu!"

The appearance of the Skeleton Monarch, Dragon Tiger Sage, and Tianyi Sage shocked everyone present.

At this moment, with the appearance of Zhi Wei, Panghuang, and Qianxun, the crowd was so stunned they grew numb.

The Skeleton Monarch, Dragon Tiger Sage, Tianyi Sage, Zhi Wei Sage... these six were all figures in the Human King Realm!

Saints of the Human King Realm are extremely rare, overwhelmingly powerful, and mysterious, like the divine dragons in the heavens—visible in the head but not the tail!

For most cultivators, seeing such a being is a rarity in a lifetime!

To have six figures in the Human King Realm appear at this place is simply inconceivable, leaving one's scalp tingling.

The Canglan Realm has only a dozen or so figures in the Human King Realm, some of whom have long been dormant, with only a few active.

To have six figures in the Human King Realm appear at this place, one can only imagine what this means!

But what is the intent behind the simultaneous appearance of the six figures in the Human King Realm? Are they all here for the Celestial Emperor and the Kirin?

"The Kirin is the king of divine beasts, even attracting the thoughts of the Great Saints, surely capable of stirring the desires of the Human Kings. Yet the appearance of six saint kings fills me with foreboding, as if something terrifying is about to happen!"

Ye Chen was gripped in the hands of the Skeleton Monarch, his whole body emitting a golden radiance, like an immovable Vajra, exuding dignity and sanctity.

He did not submit to capture out of recklessness; rather, he aimed to use strength against strength, leveraging the power of the Skeleton Monarch to drive away the Dragon Tiger and Tianyi Saints.

Moreover, the appearance of Dragon Tiger, Tianyi, and others seemed puzzling—they did not appear to be here for the Kirin!

"Aside from the divine beast Kirin, what else about me could interest the Human Kings?" Ye Chen almost couldn't figure out.

"Boom!"

Dragon Tiger Sage, Tianyi Sage, Zhi Wei Sage, Saint Panghuang, Saint Qian Qiu, the five great saint kings whipped up a storm, fiercely attacking the Skeleton Monarch.

All six figures in the Human King Realm were there for Ye Chen; since the Skeleton Monarch had captured him, he became the target of intense assault from all sides.

However, the Skeleton Monarch was an ancient overlord, closest in power to a Great Saint, exceeding the abilities of Tianyi, Dragon Tiger, and others significantly, making them helpless.

The Skeleton Monarch was so powerful that even Great Saints had to take note!

The strongest saint in the Canglan Realm was Saint Chen Yun, but the Skeleton Monarch was no weaker!

Saint Chen Yun was an ancient existence, a friend to many Great Saints, possessing unimaginable combat strength.

However, Chen Yun could only represent the Ten Continents, not the life forbidden zone! Yet the Skeleton Monarch could represent the forbidden zone; he was the strongest warrior in the Human King Realm!

Jingyang, Baize, Kunming—their ancestors were saint kings, but upon seeing the Skeleton Monarch, they too showed extreme shock, due to his transcendence.

"This son is the master of the Kirin, worthy of alarming you all, but… you don't seem to be here for the Kirin!"

Beneath the Skeleton Monarch's feet, an avenue appeared, covered entirely with countless white bones, exuding a sense of peace, annihilation, and mystical essence, making it difficult for the five saint kings to approach.

Nevertheless, the Skeleton Monarch was puzzled, for he sensed there was something more, as if the five Sages had other intentions.

"Skeleton Monarch, you have slept for too long, unaware of many things!" Dragon Tiger Sage said. "This son carries a great secret that could move even the Great Saints. You cannot hope to protect him!"

Saint kings are ancient beings, majestic and revered across heavens and earth, familiar with each other.

The Skeleton Monarch was the strongest saint of the forbidden zone, equal in standing to Saint Chen Yun; although Dragon Tiger Sage was matched in hostility, he showed great respect for him.

"I don't wish to guard him; I wish to seize his Kirin!" Skeleton Monarch said. "However, I'm intrigued by your words. Elaborate further!"

The Skeleton Monarch tread upon the avenue of white bones, remaining unperturbed under the assault of the five saint kings, quite nonchalant.

"This son is not only the Celestial Emperor; he has another identity, equally captivating and world-shaking!" Tianyi Sage said solemnly.

The identity of the Celestial Emperor is significant, not only as the master of the Kirin but also possessing another identity, equally invincible, equally glorious!

Indeed, after Tianyi Sage discovered the truth, she was greatly startled, unable to believe such a reality.

Yet the facts were right before her, irrefutable and undeniable!

"Oh?" Skeleton Monarch said. "This son has another identity?"

"Correct!" Tianyi Sage said.

"Has my identity been exposed?" Ye Chen meditated in the skeletal palm, slightly frowning as he spoke.

Indeed, Ye Chen has a dual identity, both equally renowned and gloriously supreme.

However, he concealed it flawlessly, a secret known only to his woman.

The Seven Sages of the Dragon Clan know his identity, but they would never disclose it. Saint Linglong also knows, but would she dare expose it?

"Even the Heavenly Emperor has another identity, equally earth-shattering. What secrets does he hide?"

Tianyi Sage's voice was mighty, causing everyone to be shaken, looking at the Heavenly Emperor in astonishment.

The presence of the Heavenly Emperor has always been mysterious, shrouded in deep fog, difficult to fathom. Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor has been seen only twice from start to finish. What secret does he conceal? Stirring the hearts of the Human Kings!

"Baihua Palace broke the taboo and appointed the first-ever Saint Heir in history, did you know?" Tianyi Sage said.

"Baihua Palace appointed a Saint Heir?" the Skeleton Monarch exclaimed.

Baihua Palace has stood timelessly, always a sacred place for female cultivators; male cultivators served as menial disciples in Baihua Palace.

Yet, now Baihua Palace has appointed a Saint Heir, which surprised the Skeleton Monarch.

"The Saint Heir of Baihua Palace is immensely powerful, a king among prodigies, and this person is extraordinary, with strength exceeding that of ordinary prodigy kings!"

On the day Ye Chen became the Saint Heir, Tianyi Sage attended the ceremony, thus he left a deep impression.

"Is there a connection here?" the Skeleton Monarch asked.

"There is!" Tianyi Sage replied. "The Saint Heir of Baihua Palace is the Heavenly Emperor before us; they are the same person!"

"The same person?" the Skeleton Monarch was astonished.

"What, Ye Chen and the Heavenly Emperor are one?"

Someone jumped up in surprise upon hearing Tianyi Sage's words, as if receiving a great shock.

"Ye Chen is the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor is Ye Chen; they are one and the same?"

The Skeleton Monarch had slumbered too long to know who Ye Chen was, nor did he understand the identity of the Heavenly Emperor!

However, the heroes present were active in the current age and naturally understood Ye Chen's strength and the Heavenly Emperor's invincibility!

Whether it be the Heavenly Emperor or Ye Chen, they are the paragons of the current age, kings among prodigies, and heroes among men!

Yet the revelation by the Human King unveiled the mystery, leaving everyone dumbfounded in an instant.

"In the past, the Heavenly Emperor made a fleeting appearance, gaining the allegiance of the Qilin, inciting a tempest before vanishing!" Tianyi Sage gazed at Ye Chen and said. "However, the Heavenly Emperor did not truly disappear; he simply adopted another identity and infiltrated Baihua Palace!"

"After years of dormancy, the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation soared, emerging in Baihua Palace until he earned the recognition of a Saint and was appointed as the Saint Heir!"

"Ye Chen ripped off Qin Changtian's arm, his fame spreading worldwide, known by all!"

"But who would have thought that the famed Ye Chen was the long-lost Heavenly Emperor?"

"Who could have imagined that the Heavenly Emperor, despite being wanted by the Nine Great Powers, dared to infiltrate Baihua Palace, ascend to the position of Saint Heir, and become a candidate for Palace Master?"

"Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor is an extraterrestrial visitor; who could have anticipated his audacious ambition to control Baihua Palace?"

"The Heavenly Emperor is also Ye Chen; his boldness astounds us all!"

Tianyi Sage revealed Ye Chen's depths, exposing all his secrets, practically stripping him bare.

"Ye Chen of Baihua Palace and the mysterious Heavenly Emperor are one and the same?"

"The Heavenly Emperor made a fleeting appearance, capturing the Qilin, leaving behind a legend! Ye Chen is the Saint Heir of Baihua Palace, battling champions across the skies, earning an invincible reputation! Both are invincible figures with similar styles, forceful, domineering, and undefeated! But who would have thought, the Heavenly Emperor and Ye Chen are the same person?"

Tianyi Sage spoke rhythmically, with strong engagement, invoking a feeling of thrill, of pulse-pounding revelation.

The Heavenly Emperor is an extraterrestrial visitor and, despite being wanted by the Nine Great Powers, he audaciously infiltrated Baihua Palace!

Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor adopted an alternate identity, navigating struggles in Baihua Palace until becoming the Saint Heir... This is unbelievably inspirational, fantastical, legendary!

"Ye Chen and the Heavenly Emperor are the same person?"

Qin Changtian's face turned gloomy, looking toward Ye Chen with a deep sense of shock and anger.

Qin Changtian is a king among prodigies, having severed the arm of a Human King, renowned through the ages, never having tasted defeat.

But recently, Qin Changtian was utterly defeated. This defeat was at the hands of Ye Chen!

This defeat is Qin Changtian's great humiliation, filling him with boundless hatred, constantly yearning for vengeance.

However, given Ye Chen's unfathomable strength, Qin Changtian's chances for revenge are slim!

Thus, Qin Changtian ventured into the life forbidden zone, hoping to seize the divine beast Qilin, envelop in purple aura, fortune at its peak, to seek revenge on Ye Chen.

Yet, the Heavenly Emperor's performance was even more astonishing, leaving seven powerful entities helpless.

It seemed he would return empty-handed, only for fate to unfold unpredictably!

Tianyi Sage exposed all of Ye Chen's secrets, revealing the Heavenly Emperor was Ye Chen, which utterly baffled Qin Changtian.
