"During my clash with Linglong, Saint Linglong only showed her physical prowess without using her Divine Skills, otherwise I couldn't have threatened her!"

"Saint kings are giants in the world, and I am still far from their level!"

Six human kings were fiercely battling here, causing the mountains and rivers to fade, and the sun and moon to sway. Ye Chen was deeply shocked, realizing the gap between them.

Saint kings stand atop the ancient peak, as giants in the world. Ye Chen possesses an unparalleled demeanor, but he is too young, lacking the foundation compared to human kings!

Moreover, Ye Chen has yet to prove his path and become a saint, a qualitative gap remains between him and them!

"I want to form the heart of the Heavenly Emperor, but it might take ten, even a hundred years. However, the crisis is imminent, how can I have that much time?"

"It seems, I truly need to return to Earth, find a way to conquer the dragon veins, and prove my path!"

Ye Chen constantly feels inadequate. Even though he has become the king of prodigies, he still feels very weak.

Actually, it's a matter of perspective; being in different positions leads to different thoughts.

Ye Chen was once merely a martial arts master; Land Gods were the gods among men, he only wanted to leap into immortality and live freely.

However, the stronger Ye Chen became, the more he realized his shortcomings.

Ye Chen is now strong enough, even among the myriad realms, among billions of beings, he is a top-tier figure!

But, Ye Chen's gaze never looks down but upwards!

Ye Chen never compares with the weak, as such comparison would only make him weaker!

True strength is to advance amid raging currents, to grow stronger upon meeting the strong, only then can one triumph and ascend gloriously!

Ye Chen has surpassed the saints, the king of prodigies, the child of the forbidden zone. His opponents now are only those human kings and invincible Great Saints!

Only by surpassing the human kings and equaling the Great Saints can Ye Chen truly grow!

To reach this level, it is as simple as it is difficult.

As soon as Ye Chen proves his path to sainthood, he will become eternal, deathless. His combat power will soar dramatically, at least becoming on par with Skeleton Monarch, or Saint Chen Yun.

However, Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Fist is so invincible that proving his path to sainthood is extremely difficult!

Moreover, Ye Chen is the master of the Qilin, possessing an ominous pot, a root of calamity, attracting human kings to march against him, and Great Saints to arrive!

Ye Chen's immediate priority is not breakthrough but survival!

Saint kings are overwhelmingly fierce, each like a vicious god, and Ye Chen's foundation is too shallow, with a substantial gap between them.

"Boom!"

Facing the siege of five human kings, Skeleton Monarch has been defending all along, now suddenly shifting from defense to attack, two massive white bone hands appear, thrusting into the sky, unleashing an apocalyptic storm, sweeping towards the five human kings.

"Bang!"

Skeleton Monarch is the strongest human king, his combat power rivaling the Great Saints, causing chaos with a mere turn of the hand.

However, the five human kings are no weaklings, emitting the aura of dragons, phoenixes, tigers, and elephants, quashing endless mountains and rivers, battling against Skeleton Monarch with madness.

With the peak battle between the six human kings, the entire life forbidden zone is boiling, storms forming, sweeping the skies, causing countless mountains to collapse and sink, the sun and moon losing their light, as if the apocalypse has arrived, oppressing all beings.

"Is this the might of human kings? With a mere wave, the world shatters; with a turn of the hand, chaos ensues. Such power surpasses the saints by far!"

"Saint kings truly are the giants of the world, such strength is indeed terrifying!"

"It's said that the king of prodigies could contend with human kings, yet human kings are in battle here, does any king of prodigies dare interfere?"

"Saint kings possess such combat power, capable of destroying heavens and earth, being omnipotent; what about the invincible Great Saints?"

The combat power of saint kings is too powerful, far exceeding the king of prodigies, shocking everyone.

Moreover, the Great Saints are the strongest existence, seemingly a godly figure standing at the pinnacle of all beings.

Yet, though saint kings are already so terrifying, what esteem does the Great Saints hold?

"Senior, thank you for rescuing me. Once I become the emperor of nine heavens, I will surely repay your kindness!"

Suddenly, light bursts forth from Ye Chen, emitting a profound aura, as he walks out of the White Bone Cage.

Although Skeleton Monarch is a being of the undead, his cultivation is invincible, long having cleansed away his ferocity, like a holy spirit.

Skeleton Monarch seeks the Qilin, yet he does not seize by force, instead acting childishly, engaging Ye Chen playfully.

Moreover, as the five human kings assault fiercely, Skeleton Monarch actually protected him, making Ye Chen sincerely grateful.

However, this place is not suitable for a lengthy stay; he can only repay Skeleton Monarch's kindness another day!

"Senior, your great kindness cannot merely be thanked with words, we shall meet again another day!"

Ye Chen bow to Skeleton Monarch from afar, then with one hand tears through the void, intending to traverse the void and leave here.

"Haha, this young lad surely has heart, I didn't guard you for nothing!" Skeleton Monarch laughed, "Yet, you're the master of the Qilin, possessing the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot. I cannot let you walk away freely! Even if I let you leave, they wouldn't. You better stay obediently! Only by my side can you live safely!"

Ye Chen carries too many secrets, arousing Skeleton Monarch's interest, not wishing to let him go easily.

Moreover, with five human kings being aggressive, how could they possibly allow Ye Chen to leave as he wished?

Thus, for Ye Chen, leaving is unwise; only staying ensures safety!

"Boom!"

A gigantic white bone hand enveloped the heavens and earth, trying to forcibly detain Ye Chen.

"Junior, the human kings have all gathered here for you, yet you dare to run away?"

"Even if you have some skills, in front of us, you don't even have the ability to escape!"

"Ye Chen, surrender! Hand over the Qilin, hand over the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, and we won't kill you!"

"..."

Seeing Ye Chen attempting to escape, Tianyi, Longhu, Zhiwei, Panghuang, and Qianxun, these five human kings, simultaneously unleashed their might, sealing off this realm, exhibiting Divine Skills, attempting to capture Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen doesn't leave the White Bone Cage, they are somewhat helpless. But Ye Chen actually charged out of the cage, leaving the protection of the Skeleton Monarch, it was simply a suicidal act.

"Rumble!"

Several massive hands clutched endlessly, disrupting the realm, forcing Ye Chen into the open, struggling in the storm.

"Junior, I have no intention to harm you; on the contrary, I admire you!" said the Skeleton Monarch. "Come to me, I will protect you so you won't be plagued by disasters!"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but my mind is made up. I must return to my homeland!" Ye Chen declined the Skeleton Monarch's offer.

"Haha, truly ignorant of heaven and earth, a group of human kings are launching an offense, yet you still dream of escaping?" Longhu, Panghuang, and Qianxun laughed, seemingly mocking Ye Chen's overconfidence.

However, just as their laughter subsided, a terrifying event occurred.

A terror spread over Ye Chen's body, condensing into a golden rune, enveloping him.

"Longhu, Tianyi, Panghuang... Today you oppress me, in the future I will repay it!"

The golden rune radiated brilliantly, enveloping Ye Chen, soaring into the sky, breaking through the human kings' blockade, vanished into the void!

"What!"

Ye Chen disregarded the might of the human kings, escaping, leaving everyone astonished.

Six human kings sealed the realm, all performing Divine Skills, it was a certain kill situation, even the Saints would bleed.

Yet, under everyone's gaze, Ye Chen escaped like this, leaving even the human kings powerless to stop him!

"Ye Chen hasn't proven himself as a Saint, so different from us, how can he escape?"

The human kings looked at each other in disbelief, unable to comprehend such matters.

They sealed this realm, even the Saints couldn't traverse it. However, Ye Chen, with a golden rune on his head, ignored everything, just unbelievably left, truly incomprehensible.

"This child has broken ancient taboos, transcending talented kings, can't be judged by common sense!" the Skeleton Monarch murmured. "However, there is a Great Saint setting a trap for him, his chance of escaping unscathed is slim!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Skeleton Mountain stirred once more, Tianyi attempted to capture an Emperor but was blocked.

"Linglong, why are you blocking me?" Tianyi Sage said with a grim expression.

"I was entrusted to protect her, so forgive me!" Saint Linglong shielded an Emperor, looking at Tianyi Sage and said.

"Protect her?" Tianyi Sage asked. "An Emperor is Ye Chen's lover, and instead of attacking her, you protect her?"

"Entrusted by others, loyal to their affairs!" Saint Linglong did not explain more. "This woman I will protect firmly, whoever dares touch her, I will fight them to the death!"

"..."

Saint Linglong's conduct was very atypical, making Tianyi Sage quite puzzled, unsure of what to say.

An Emperor possesses a Divine Artifact from the Dragon Clan, Tianyi Sage captured her is to force Ye Chen to appear, dared not truly strike hard.

Nonetheless, Saint Linglong's attitude was strange, just now lurking and not emerging, now protecting an Emperor, what does she intend to do?

"The Heavenly Emperor is friendly with the Dragon Clan, if you press him like this, it might provoke the Dragon Clan's wrath!" Saint Linglong suddenly said.

"The Heavenly Emperor is an outsider, Dragon Clan is a major clan in Canglan Realm, how could they be friendly?" Tianyi Sage doubted.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Saint Linglong said. "In any case, I am determined to protect an Emperor! Besides, she possesses a Divine Artifact from the Dragon Clan, equaling gaining their protection, whoever dares to touch her, I'll inform the Dragon Clan, let Dragon Esteem suppress you!"

"..."

"Someone is setting a trap for me, but who is it?"

After escaping Skeleton Mountain, Ye Chen arrived at a wild mountain, hollowed out the foot of the mountain, and hid inside.

However, Ye Chen activated the Heavenly Emperor's heart to escape, consuming great energy, almost like sacrificing half his life.

Furthermore, with strong enemies lurking, Ye Chen's heart felt uneasy.

"The Xuanyuan Clan trapped an Emperor, forcing me to reveal myself, could it be a scheme?" Ye Chen speculated. "Yet, they cast the bait but don't reel it in, why?"

Everything done usually carries a purpose!

However, the Xuanyuan Clan trapped an Emperor, after forcing Ye Chen to reveal himself, did not show themselves, why is that?

Since they don't appear, why set the scheme to force Ye Chen's revelation?
