"Suppress me? Who do you think you are?" Yan Hun sneered. "Even Dragon Esteem cannot suppress me; how could you?"

"..." The crowd was speechless. Yan Hun's biggest point of pride was having once competed with Dragon Esteem for a woman.

"I'm not belittling you, but when I was contending with Dragon Esteem, you were still drinking milk in your mother's arms!" Yan Hun spoke loftily.

"You!" Saint Qian Qiu was furious.

"Are you dissatisfied?" Yan Hun asked coldly. "You may have reached the Human King Realm before me, but your seniority doesn't compare to mine! I should be of the same generation as your grandfather or great-grandfather; if you don't believe me, go home and ask them!"

"..."

All Saints were aware of Yan Hun's history: the old fellow competed with Dragon Esteem for a woman, failed, and ended up sticking around the Dragon Clan.

Although Yan Hun lacked the decorum due to his age, his seniority was undeniably ancient, making him an elder even among Human Kings.

Dragon Esteem was the first Saint across all realms, and that Yan Hun dared compete with him for a woman speaks volumes of his formidable nature!

"The Qilin is the divine beast of the Canglan Realm, and the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot fell here too; Ye Chen is merely an outsider with no right to possess them!" one of the twelve Human Kings voiced.

"What outsider? Don't bring status into this!" Skyfire Ancestor retorted. "An apocalypse is approaching; all realms united are like family. Earth is the second dimension outside Canglan and will be a main force against the calamity. As long as Ye Chen stands guard over a region, why fuss over treasures being in his possession?"

Ye Chen is his dear grandson, so Skyfire Ancestor had to protect him!

Furthermore, what he said was true—once the calamity arrives, all external realms become one!

"He hasn't proven his Dao and become a Saint; he has no right to possess the Qilin or control the Demon Pot!" someone opposed Skyfire Ancestor.

"I spit a face mask on you!" Skyfire Ancestor exclaimed enthusiastically. "Though Ye Chen hasn't achieved Sainthood, his combat ability is definitely strong enough to face Human Kings head-on. How can such cultivation be considered weak?"

"..."

"In essence, you just want to seize by force; if you want a fight, then fight! Why so much nonsense?" Di Lintian stepped forward and addressed the twelve Human Kings coldly.

"What do you have to fight us with?" Dragon Tiger Sage sneered. "Ye Tianshi, Yan Hun, Skyfire Ancestor—they've only just entered the Human King Realm and can't resist us!"

"Have you dismissed us?" The voice of Saint Chen Yun was deep.

"..."

Chen Yun, Skeleton Monarch, Di Lintian—all were formidable figures with combat strength rivaling a Great Saint, causing apprehension among the twelve Human Kings. Had it not been for their support, the twelve would have charged long ago.

"Ye Chen, step into the two-world channel now and return to Earth. Leave these people to us!" Ye Tianshi commanded.

The disturbance continued to escalate, with more Human Kings gathering; Ye Tianshi realized delaying could lead to complications.

"Alright!" Ye Chen responded. "Several seniors, I won't say thank you, but if I rise, there will surely be rewards!"

Ye Tianshi, Skyfire Ancestor, Di Lintian were his elders, while Saint Chen Yun, Yan Hun, and Skeleton Monarch were helping out of obligation.

Ye Chen, caught in a perilous situation, felt endless gratitude for the timely assistance from Saint Chen Yun, Skeleton Monarch, and Yan Hun.

"Brat, can you escape?"

As Ye Chen attempted to enter the two-world channel, the twelve Human Kings moved at once, aiming to hinder Ye Chen's escape!

"I'm standing right here; whoever dares take one step forward, I will kill without mercy!" Di Lintian flung his robe, looking at the twelve Human Kings with an air of supremacy.

"Di Lintian, being Earth's foremost Saint, you surely have the right to be proud!" Dragon Tiger Sage roared. "But even if you can roar invincibly, you shouldn't flaunt your power here!"

"We're all in the same realm, what right do you have to laugh at the Kings?"

"Di Lintian, step aside quickly, or we'll suppress you!"

Di Lintian, as Earth's first Saint, has reached the pinnacle of the Human King and absolutely has the right to dominate the realms.

However, with so many Human Kings assembled here, Di Lintian wishes to overwhelm them all, but clearly lacks the qualification.

"Rumble!"

The twelve Human Kings were like floods and beasts, seeking to forcibly keep Ye Chen. But with the terrifying eruption of the six Human Kings—Di Lintian, Ye Tianshi, Skeleton Monarch and others—they blocked the twelve, leading to an immediate clash among eighteen Human Kings.

"Retreat quickly!" a creature shrieked. "With Human Kings in chaotic battle, heavens and earth upturned, we're too close and risk collateral damage!"

What defines a Human King? King of Heaven and Earth!

Beings who claim dominion over heaven and earth waged war in dangerous zones, with reverberations extending far and wide, causing upheaval throughout the entire Canglan Realm.

"Turmoil again in the danger zone! Is Ye Chen behind this?"

At Baihua Palace, Saint Jue Qing looked skyward and directed her gaze toward the danger zone.

Though she couldn't see the real situation, having attained Sainthood, she spoke with authority, and sensed the Heavenly Dao.

The wind and clouds changed in the direction of the danger zone, heavens jolted and earth trembled, with energies soaring skyward like dragons ascending—this was certainly turbulence from fierce competition!

Ye Chen was trapped in the danger zone; both the Qilin and Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot were sought after, leading Saint Jue Qing to strongly intuit that these disturbances originated from him!

"Having a treasure invites disaster!" Saint Jue Qing sighed. "Ye Chen is not greatly at fault; only the allure of treasures stirs hearts, leading to this wild catastrophe!"

"Such a pity Qing Ge Saint isn't here; otherwise, even with the Qilin at his side, controlling the Demon Pot, who would dare trouble Ye Chen?"

"The Baihua Palace insists on Ye Chen's status as Saint Heir, enduring immense pressure; how far Ye Chen can go depends on his fate!"

...

"My son, are you facing calamity again?" Lingxi stood atop the Holy Fire, also gazing toward the danger zone.

The shout of killing in the life restricted area shook the heavens, reverberating through the Canglan Realm, impossible to hide.

The matters concerning the Heavenly Emperor spread throughout Canglan, placing Ye Chen in crisis; how could Lingxi not be worried?

However, Lingxi was merely a Supreme Lord, not yet sanctified, utterly unable to rescue Ye Chen. Moreover, even if Lingxi were to sanctify, interfering in the battle would be difficult, for those fighting there were Human Kings!

"I hope grandfather can help Ye Chen, enabling him to leave this place of trouble!" Lingxi gazed toward the life restricted area, hoping at heart.

Under the circumstances of insufficient strength, Ye Chen not only subdued a Qilin but also possessed the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, and what's deadly is that he's been exposed!

This is a great calamity, threatening endless disaster, Lingxi hopes Ye Chen leaves this realm, only to reemerge when his wings are strong, truly fearing nothing.

"How could it come to this?" In the Southern Barbarian Palace, Ye Lingtian was blaming himself, regretting that he'd harmed his son. "That Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot was definitely a replica, how did it suddenly become genuine?"

"Chen'er is at the storm's center, even if the ancestors go to rescue him, they're bound to face difficulties!"

"Back then, I was truly foolish to send the Demon Pot, bringing another calamity upon Chen'er!"

Ye Lingtian and Plough Heaven were friends, and Ye Chen's Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot was seized by Plough Heaven at Ye Lingtian's behest, resulting in Ye Chen obtaining it by chance.

But even Ye Lingtian himself hadn't anticipated that the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot, which he thought to be a replica, turned out to be genuine!

Ye Lingtian now deeply regrets it, regretting bringing calamity to his son, placing him in a mortal predicament.

Furthermore, had he known the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot was authentic, Ye Lingtian would have kept it for himself, how could he bear to give it to his son...

"Husband, are you worrying about him?" At this moment, Cao Xuerou approached, asking Ye Lingtian.

Cao Xuerou, a proud daughter of the heavens, had restrained her brilliance due to marrying Ye Lingtian, otherwise she could have become a prominent figure.

The matters concerning Ye Chen shook Canglan, the magnitude of this turmoil was indescribable, nearly everyone was focused on him, neglecting the apocalypse.

Cao Xuerou naturally knew everything, yet she never mentioned a word; seeing Ye Lingtian distraught, she asked now.

"Yes, I'm worried about Chen'er, the calamity he's facing now is all because of me..." Ye Lingtian sighed deeply.

The trouble the Heaven Swallowing Demon Pot brought, exceeding even the Qilin cub, was almost entirely Ye Lingtian's doing.

Moreover, Ye Lingtian hadn't fulfilled a father's duty, instead pushing his son into the fire pit, how could he feel good?

"Lingtian, there's something I want to tell you..." Cao Xuerou hesitated.

"What is it?" Ye Lingtian frowned.

Cao Xuerou was always highly independent, never troubling him, why suddenly have something to tell?

"I, I've been unwell recently..." Cao Xuerou hesitated, appearing uncertain.

"Has something gone wrong with your health?" Ye Lingtian asked with concern.

"No..." Cao Xuerou replied.

"Then what's wrong?" Ye Lingtian asked, puzzled.

"I'm pregnant." Cao Xuerou quietly said.

"Pregnant? With what?" Ye Lingtian was still bewildered.

Cao Xuerou: "..."

"Xuerou, what's wrong with you?" Ye Lingtian inquired.

"I'm pregnant!" Cao Xuerou replied.

"Pregnant with what..."

"I have your child!" Cao Xuerou suddenly exclaimed. "I bear your flesh and blood, already over two months, you're going to be a daddy!"

"Ah!?" Ye Lingtian was stunned.

"Lingtian, what's wrong, I'm pregnant, aren't you happy?" Cao Xuerou asked cautiously.

"Hahaha, of course I'm happy!" Ye Lingtian suddenly burst out laughing, his face lit up like a flower. "Our Ye Family has a sparse lineage; you're carrying my child, extending the Ye Family, how could I not be happy!"

"Are you truly happy?" Cao Xuerou asked.

"Of course, silly wife!" Ye Lingtian seemed to have forgotten his worries, directly lifted Cao Xuerou, spinning her around 360 degrees.

"Ah, be careful, don't jostle the baby!" Cao Xuerou exclaimed.

"Haha!" Ye Lingtian laughed heartily.

"..."

Cao Xuerou suddenly announcing her pregnancy genuinely exhilarated Ye Lingtian, making him happy.

The Ye Family's bloodline curse, making it difficult for the clan members to conceive, with Cao Xuerou adding to the family, Ye Lingtian was truly joyful.

However, after a short-lived excitement, Ye Lingtian felt a bit disappointed.

Lingxi is still waiting for him to dismiss Cao Xuerou and rekindle their relationship... but with Cao Xuerou pregnant with his child, how could Ye Lingtian divorce her?

With Ye Chen besieged by Human Kings, and Ye Lingtian becoming a father soon, he felt unhappy, consumed by guilt.

He let down Lingxi and even more so Ye Chen...
