At this moment, thousands of sovereigns from the Extreme Spirit Clan were being besieged by hundreds of high-level Demon Polluted Beasts.
Although these high-level Demon Polluted Beasts were at the level of Seven Stars Sovereign, Eight Stars Sovereign, and Nine Stars Sovereign, with average combat power exceeding that of the Extreme Spirit Clan sovereigns, the clan had the advantage in numbers and possessed several Secret Treasures. Furthermore, they had all cultivated the "Immaculate Body-Protecting Divine Skill" dedicated to countering the "Demon Polluted Power" of these beasts, so they did not completely fall into a disadvantage.
When Ye Chen discovered the Extreme Spirit Clan's sovereigns, they also saw Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen suddenly emerge from the entrance of the secret cave, the sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan were equally shocked to the extreme!
They didn't expect the secret cave they previously attempted to enter but couldn't—clearly accessible only by those Demon Polluted Beasts—to yield a young God King of the Human Clan.
Moreover, the young God King emitted "Infusion of Divine Light" that even surpassed the sovereign level, astonishing them all.
"Could this young God King have absorbed the Infusion of Divine Light from the divine statue left by 'Lord Yan' in our clan?"
"According to the timing, it's precisely the start of another 'Extreme Spirit Martial Land' selection, and the selection method for the third realm this time relates to 'Infusion of Divine Light.' Could this God King be a participant in the selection?"
"How did he end up here?"
The sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan were incredibly shocked upon seeing Ye Chen.
Likewise, the high-level Demon Polluted Beasts besieging them were taken aback by the sudden arrival of this newcomer.
However, in the blink of an eye, eight Demon Polluted Beasts at the Seven Stars Sovereign level charged directly at Ye Chen.
Though they did not know why Ye Chen appeared here, seeing the eight Seven Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts charging towards Ye Chen, the Extreme Spirit Clan sovereigns quickly cautioned him.
Upon hearing the warning from the sovereigns, Ye Chen snapped out of his sudden observation of the realm and smiled gently at them, saying, "Masters, don't worry."
Then, an astonishing event unfolded for the clan's sovereigns.
Despite being much weaker in realm than both the sovereigns and the high-level Demon Polluted Beasts, Ye Chen boldly advanced to confront the eight charging beasts.
In Ye Chen's hand, the Infusion of Divine Light flashed with golden brilliance, and before the beasts' "Demon Pollution" power could touch him, Ye Chen slew the eight Seven Stars Sovereign level high-level Demon Polluted Beasts with one strike!
Eight Seven Stars Sovereign level high-level Demon Polluted Beasts.
Even the high-level sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan couldn't achieve such a feat in one go, as these Demon Polluted Beasts were cunning and would flee at the first sign of being outmatched.
To slay them all at once would require power far exceeding their combat abilities!
Yet, more surprises lay ahead for the Extreme Spirit Clan sovereigns.
Ye Chen, who had taken down the eight Seven Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts with one move, continued towards the remaining hundreds of Demon Polluted Beasts encircling the sovereigns.
Even though these beasts included over twenty Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts, Ye Chen showed no fear!
Before these Demon Polluted Beasts could react, dozens more high-level beasts fell to Ye Chen, including three Eight Stars Sovereign level beasts!
Such astonishing slaughter not only shocked the sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan to the extreme, but even the hundreds of Demon Polluted Beasts were terrified.
Driven by a survival instinct, the hundreds of high-level Demon Polluted Beasts dared not continue their siege on the sovereigns and scattered, fleeing madly!
The high-level Demon Polluted Beasts, undeterred by thousands of Extreme Spirit Clan sovereigns, were driven to frantic escape by Ye Chen's assault, even though Ye Chen was just a young man at the God King Realm. The scene was bizarre and awe-inspiring.
Yet, the awe-inspiring scene was far from over.
Seeing the beasts scattering, Ye Chen's voice reached the sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan: "Masters, leave those Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts to me. I have a method to contend with them. Quickly pursue and slay the other beasts. Lord Lei Bo has already mentioned their threat to your clan. Let us strive to eliminate them all here!"
Saying this, Ye Chen's Divine Light flashed, and the Primordial Star Scripture's "Transform Easily" divine skill allowed him to turn into a speck of dust and shoot towards one of the fleeing Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts.
Witnessing Ye Chen's astonishing divine skill after the "Transform Easily" transformation, and hearing Ye Chen's words, the sovereigns were momentarily stunned.
They had never seen such an amazing God King!
But these sovereigns were indeed inhabitants of the Sovereign Realm; within less than a breath, they recovered. One Nine Stars Sovereign elder immediately conveyed to Ye Chen: "Young friend, be careful!"
"Leave the other Demon Polluted Beasts to us!"
As he spoke, the elder also waved his hand, issuing orders to the other sovereigns: "With this young friend assisting, these Demon Polluted Beasts are no longer interested in prolonged confrontation. Taking this opportunity, quickly strike and slay them all!"
"This realm is protected by our Defensive Light Shield; they will not escape beyond the 'Haotian Ancient Stream'!"
As the Nine Stars Sovereign elder spoke, the other Nine Stars sovereigns chimed in.
"Everyone, pursue and kill the Demon Polluted Beasts you can handle, act together, and ensure they are completely annihilated!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Following the order from the old Sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan, thousands of Extreme Spirit Clan Sovereigns began to chase and slaughter the fleeing Demon Polluted Beast hordes!
Among the crowd, the fastest was Ye Chen.
Although his realm and combat power could not possibly surpass the old Sovereigns of the Extreme Spirit Clan here, when he converted the Infusion of Divine Light into attack power, his speed in pursuing the Demon Polluted Beasts dramatically increased.
The Infusion of Divine Light truly is the nemesis of the Demon Polluted Beasts.
In just three or four breaths, Ye Chen caught up with a Demon Polluted Beast at the Nine Stars Sovereign level, then, with a powerful slash imbued with Infusion of Divine Light, this Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beast, like the weaker beasts, was slaughtered on the spot!
And having slain this beast, Ye Chen's speed didn't waver for a moment.
With his Divine Sense already locked onto the other Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts, in the next moment, he shot toward the second Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beast.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Chen would never have imagined he could slay a Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon.
But now, with the specific enhancement against Demon Polluted Beasts from the "beyond Sovereign level" Infusion of Divine Light, Ye Chen truly felt an unbeatable sensation.
As long as he chased a Demon Polluted Beast, it meant a Demon Polluted Beast was going to die.
Even the more than twenty heads of Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts in the field were all wiped out by Ye Chen in less than an hour!
The other Extreme Spirit Clan Sovereigns were similarly in pursuit, slaying one Seven Stars Sovereign, Eight Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beast after another.
After about an hour passed, the hundreds of high-ranking Demon Polluted Beasts that had entered the "Haotian Ancient Stream" were completely eradicated!
When the Extreme Spirit Clan Sovereigns regrouped with Ye Chen, seeing that there were no Demon Polluted Beasts left within "Haotian Ancient Stream," they still couldn't believe everything that had just happened.
Previously, when they came to the "Haotian Ancient Stream" for internal cultivation, it didn't take long before they discovered the fleeing Demon Polluted Beasts. To prevent them from escaping to other areas, they specifically sealed the entire "Haotian Ancient Stream."
Yet despite the seal, facing so many high-ranking Demon Polluted Beasts, the Extreme Spirit Clan Sovereigns knew it was impossible to wipe them out completely in a short time.
But now, because of the arrival of this God King, everything changed.
With this God King alone handling all the Nine Stars Sovereign level Demon Polluted Beasts, they shifted from defense to offense, managing in such a short span to completely annihilate so many Demon Polluted Beasts cleanly!
"We're fortunate to have this young God King; otherwise, if the Demon Polluted Beasts had escaped, it would have been disastrous!"
Thinking about the potential crisis if the Demon Polluted Beasts had escaped from "Haotian Ancient Stream," the Extreme Spirit Clan Sovereigns still felt a lingering fear.
Among them, the old Sovereign of the Extreme Spirit Clan, the first Nine Stars Sovereign who had issued the command earlier, known as the white-browed elder "Sovereign Tian Jue," was the first to recover from his astonishment.
He first smiled at Ye Chen and nodded, saying, "Little friend, please wait."
Then, Sovereign Tian Jue and two other Nine Stars Sovereigns exchanged glances, seemingly having a momentary Divine Sense communication, and the three Nine Stars Sovereigns flew directly to the exit of a secret cave, deploying layers of seals there with their astonishing Divine Skills!
The Extreme Spirit Clan had discovered the escape exit for the Demon Polluted Beasts, and they certainly wouldn't leave this exit open for other Demon Polluted Beasts to continue escaping!
After making all precautions and checking every location thoroughly again, the three Nine Stars Sovereigns returned to the original place.
"Little friend," Sovereign Tian Jue finally spoke to Ye Chen, "Can you tell us how you came to this 'Haotian Ancient Stream'?"
"Is the Infusion of Divine Light on you acquired from our clan?"
Hearing Sovereign Tian Jue mention the words "Haotian Ancient Stream," a gleam flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.
He had speculated, seeing so many Extreme Spirit Clan Sovereigns in this mountain stream, that the place reached from the secret cave exit was likely the training grounds of the Extreme Spirit Clan, the "Haotian Ancient Stream."
However, guessing is only guessing, hearing the old Sovereign in front saying this place is indeed "Haotian Ancient Stream," Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a thrill.
Ye Chen had always wanted to enter "Haotian Ancient Stream!"
Now, by chance, he happened to arrive here!
Ye Chen had heard Sovereign Heilun speak of a few old Sovereigns who knew of General Yinsha's military affairs being in the "Haotian Ancient Stream."
Previously, Ye Chen had been trying to find a way to meet these old Sovereigns soon.
Now, with these Sovereigns right in front of him, how could Ye Chen not be overwhelmingly excited?
Facing Sovereign Tian Jue and other Sovereigns, Ye Chen directly spoke, "Dear seniors, the junior came to the Extreme Spirit Clan on purpose for a senior from tens of thousands of years ago, and by a fortunate coincidence, ended up here."
