When Saint Huang Li was defeated by Ye Chen in one move and slammed onto the ground, it was like a heavy hammer crashing into everyone's hearts.
No one expected that Ye Chen would be so powerful, and could completely crush even Saint Huang Li, ranked tenth on the Star Domain God King Ranking!
Even the people of the Supreme Divine Institute foresaw that Ye Chen could defeat Saint Huang Li, but they never imagined Ye Chen could defeat him so cleanly.
It seemed that Saint Huang Li was not even on the same combat power level as Ye Chen.
As for the envoys from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country and Divine Dragon Mountain, they were utterly shocked.
They could never have imagined that Ye Chen could be this powerful!
At this moment, Saint Huang Li was still bound by the endless divine light and starlight Ye Chen unleashed, lying miserably in the huge pit below. This scene deeply embarrassed the two Nine Star Sovereigns of the Heavenly Wilderness Holy Land.
The mighty Upper Divine Kingdom was utterly humiliated in front of the ordinary medium-tier Divine Nation of Wanmu Mountain.
It was simply outrageous!
Seeing Saint Huang Li's miserable state, the two Nine Star Sovereigns of the Heavenly Wilderness Holy Land immediately developed a murderous intent toward Ye Chen.
"This young man is indeed unmatched in talent, but a dead genius cannot be called a genius."
"Only by killing him can we restore our Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country's honor."
"Once he is dead, Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation wouldn't dare seek revenge against our Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country; after all, they wouldn't dare offend our Upper Divine Kingdom for a dead man."
"Let's use this young man to offer a blood sacrifice for the humiliation of our Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country!"
"Killing him also allows us to obtain the Extreme Heavenly Divine Fire ranked second on the Extreme Heaven Divine Fire List!"
These two Nine Star Elders from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country's Holy Land didn't have any regard for Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation and couldn't tolerate Ye Chen humiliating their Saint.
The two exchanged glances, and in an instant, the skinny Nine Star Sovereign, Elder Yuanxin, released overwhelming divine power to prevent the other sovereigns of the Supreme Divine Institute from rescuing Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, the slightly plumper Nine Star Sovereign, Elder Chiming, clawed his hand, ready to kill Ye Chen in one stroke!
The strike from a Nine Star Sovereign was so swift, so dire.
In the instant the two Nine Star Sovereigns struck, all the sovereigns of the Supreme Divine Institute in the Void Heaven turned pale.
The Eight Star Sovereign, like Sovereign He Yue, could never imagine that the two Nine Star Sovereigns of the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country were so audacious and arrogant.
To dare, right in front of them, use their strength to oppress the weak, to kill Ye Chen.
Even though Sovereign He Yue and others reacted extremely quickly, they acted after the two Nine Star Sovereigns from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country. Even if all the Supreme Divine Institute's sovereigns could break Elder Yuanxin's obstruction, in that split second, Elder Chiming's attack had already reached Ye Chen.
A terrifying scene unfolded in the Void Heaven.
All the sovereigns of the Supreme Divine Institute attacked the divine power that barred Elder Yuanxin to rescue Ye Chen.
On the other side, the attack from the Nine Star Sovereign, Elder Chiming from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country, had reached Ye Chen.
This abrupt change was entirely unexpected for anyone below the Sovereign Realm.
Before they could react, they had already seen Elder Chiming's claw hit Ye Chen's chest.
As everyone was in disbelief, even Zhou Yue and Bing Yi cried out in shock.
Something unexpected happened.
Facing the attack from Elder Chiming, a Nine Star Sovereign, Ye Chen showed no sign of panic; instead, a cold gleam rose in his eyes.
"Indeed, power speaks volumes."
"With power, even rules can be ignored."
"Since that's the case, then let the world know, I, Ye Chen, am not to be trifled with!"
In the instant Ye Chen's mind and spirit flickered, as Elder Chiming attacked him, a brilliantly radiant divine rune flew from Ye Chen's body.
This divine rune was only palm-sized, resembling a leaf in shape.
But when it flew out from Ye Chen and hovered before him, Elder Chiming's killing attack was instantly nullified into nothingness by the divine rune.
Then, this divine rune gently rotated.
Like it had a pair of eyes, it locked directly onto Elder Chiming.
As a Nine Star Sovereign, Elder Chiming instantly found himself completely immobilized, unable to move at all.
This made Elder Chiming utterly panic!
As the divine might within the rune began to surge, starlight erupted from it, causing Elder Chiming to cry out in alarm.
"It's the Divine Master-level divine energy!"
"Spare me, Ye Chen, spare me!"
Elder Chiming recognized the divine might on the rune, which could definitely kill him, a Nine Star Sovereign, with Divine Master-level power.
The commotion on Ye Chen's side also attracted the attention of the Supreme Divine Institute sovereigns fighting Elder Yuanxin, the other Nine Star Sovereign from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country.
Elder Yuanxin also showed an expression of extreme shock upon seeing the Divine Rune floating around Ye Chen.
However, his expression quickly turned fierce, and he shouted at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, if you dare execute the Nine Stars Sovereign of the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country, even if you're under the protection of a Divine Master, our Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country will never let you off!"
Even at a time , Elder Yuanxin was still threatening Ye Chen.
Hearing Elder Chiming's pleas for mercy and Elder Yuanxin's threats, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged.
"When you decide to strike me down, be prepared to be struck down by me."
"The Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country won't let me off? Fine, then I, Ye Chen, will be waiting!"
When Ye Chen first started cultivating and just reached the True Qi Realm, he faced the pursuit and threats of Zhou Hai. Even if it meant offending those in the Flying Spirit Realm, he dared to kill Zhou Hai to completely eliminate the root of trouble.
Now, with Ye Chen being an Upper God King, possessing combat power on par with the Sovereign Realm, and having General Yinsha, Lord Emperor Yan, and even Qing Lan Star Lord and Zi Ji Star Lord backing him, why would he fear the threats of the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country?
Not to mention, when the Nine Stars Sovereign of the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country bullied the weak and attacked him first, even in the face of a life-and-death crisis, Ye Chen would certainly never let go of those who attacked him!
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, directly gazing at the restrained Elder Chiming.
As Ye Chen's gaze locked onto Elder Chiming, the Divine Rune in front of Ye Chen surged with terrifying Divine Energy toward Elder Chiming.
In an instant, countless rays of starry light burst forth from the Divine Rune.
These starry lights were like an endless array of blazing lights, executing flash kills.
Even though Elder Chiming was at the Sovereign Realm of Nine Stars and his defensive power nearly ignored any Sovereign-level threat, he stood no chance against the overwhelming Divine Might Rune crafted by the Eightfold God Master, Sovereign Yinsha.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The countless rays of starry light instantly pierced through Elder Chiming entirely.
Subsequently, Elder Chiming's body and Divine Soul shattered into pieces like a stone breaking apart in an instant.
Finally, when the Divine Origin returned to the Divine Rune, only hundreds of drops of Divine Blood from Elder Chiming returned before Ye Chen.
Elder Chiming, as though torn apart and burned by countless torrents of blazing light, was directly reduced to void.
The Nine Stars Sovereign Elder Chiming was actually killed by Ye Chen on the spot!
Ye Chen acted without hesitation, executing the Nine Stars Sovereign effortlessly. This act left all those from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country in disbelief.
Our Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country's Saint Heir was defeated. The Nine Stars Sovereign was slain?
The accompanying group from Divine Dragon Mountain beside the people of the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country felt a chill down their spines.
Especially the Divine Dragon Mountain Sect Master, Qin Yuntian, whose desire to kill Ye Chen for the second-ranked Divine Fire on the Extreme Heaven Divine Fire List possessed by Ye Chen was completely unexpected.
Qin Yuntian never imagined that Ye Chen, at the God King Realm, would have such a terrifying trump card, having a Divine Rune crafted by a powerful Divine Master.
The aura of Divine Might from the Rune implied that the Divine Master who crafted it was indeed an outstanding existence among the Divine Master Realm.
Qin Yuntian felt chills run down his spine. If he had made a move, it would not be Elder Chiming killed but himself.
"Backed by Divine Runes crafted by an almighty Divine Master."
"Even to dare slay the Nine Stars Sovereign of an Upper Divine Kingdom after being warned, this Ye Chen must have significant figures behind him to be so fearless!"
"This person must not be provoked again!"
Qin Yuntian completely abandoned the notion of opposing Ye Chen. He now feared Ye Chen might activate another Rune and kill him on the spot.
After all, he witnessed that the Divine Rune Ye Chen activated earlier still contained surging Divine Energy, hardly depleted, and annihilating him, an Eight Stars Sovereign, would be even easier than killing Elder Chiming.
Qin Yuntian was so terrified he didn't dare look toward Ye Chen, fervently hoping Ye Chen hadn't noticed him.
Qin Yuntian's worry was unnecessary.
Although Ye Chen had three Divine Runes given by General Yinsha, using one to kill a Nine Stars Sovereign to warn others wishing to strike him was enough.
Such precious Divine Runes must be reserved for caution and prepared for other challenges.
Ye Chen wasn't concerned with Qin Yuntian at the moment. After storing away the Divine Rune, he also kept the Divine Blood brought back by the Rune along with it.
"The Heavenly Wilderness Clan is also a high-level life group, their Essence Blood is just perfect for cultivating the Taiyi Chapter."
"I once obtained Essence Blood from two high-level life groups: the Snow Liao Tribe's Heavenly Divine Venerable level Essence Blood and the Blood Wing Clan's Immortal Divine Venerable level Essence Blood."
"To activate the third star of the Star Disk in the Taiyi Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, seven kinds of Essence Blood from high-level life groups are needed. Among them, six must include three Heavenly Divine Venerables, two Immortal Divine Venerables, and one Sovereign-level figure's Essence Blood."
"Now, having obtained the Essence Blood from the Nine Stars Sovereign of the Heavenly Wilderness Clan solves the Sovereign-level Essence Blood requirement. I can cultivate the starry origin power of the third star!"
Ye Chen ventured out this time to gather all the missing Essence Blood from high-level life groups.
Now, he conveniently solved one type of Essence Blood.
While Ye Chen examined the newly acquired Divine Blood, Elder Yuanxin from the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country stared at the direction where Elder Chiming was annihilated into nothingness, his mouth agape, unable to believe Ye Chen had really done it.
A few breaths later, Elder Yuanxin's complexion shifted several times as he coldly turned to Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, you're finished. For killing a Nine Stars Sovereign of our clan, you're truly finished."
"Unless you kill us all, as long as any of us returns to the Heavenly Wilderness Divine Country, a significant figure will come to execute you!"
