Back then, Ye Chen didn't know how long it had taken him to travel from True Spirit Continent to Blood Sky Continent. But this time, the time spent was a thousand times shorter. It was as if there wasn't an endless ocean between them, but a river, a lake, and a bridge that would allow them to reach the other side.
"I'm finally back!"
On the coastline of True Spirit Continent, Ye Chen's figure appeared with a complicated expression.
When he left, he only had the cultivation base of Sea of Soul realm. But after returning, he was already a Life and Death King, and not an ordinary one at that. His cultivation base had reached two hundred and thirty years, and his battle strength had skyrocketed to four stars. It could be said that the current him could kill a hundred of his previous selves with a single sword strike.
Times had changed.
"Although Senior Dragon King's life and death are unknown, his Dragon God Celestial Palace can't be encroached upon by others. Humph!"
Opening his silver vertical eye, Ye Chen's gaze pierced through half of the continent and landed on the Dragon God Celestial Palace in the Eastern Shallow Ocean. That place had already changed masters, being occupied by Whirlwind Gate, Water Wave Sect, Black King Gate, and Sky Eagle Cult, divided into four parts. Moreover, Water Wave Sect still had a King overseeing it.
"Let me see what kind of trump cards you have!"
Puff!
His figure turned illusory as Ye Chen dove into the void.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the space above the Dragon God Celestial Palace distorted, and a figure walked out. His blue robes fluttered in the wind, and his expression was cold and solemn.
Sucking in a deep breath, Ye Chen operated his Zhen Yuan and roared, "All those who aren't from Dragon God Celestial Palace, get the hell off this island!"
His voice wasn't loud at first, but as it spread out, it grew louder and louder. It was like a mountain torrent, a thunderbolt, and a torrential downpour. Everyone on the island heard this voice, especially the last 'get the hell off'. It was filled with killing intent, and its speed was extremely fast, piercing through one's soul like a swift sword.
"Who's so daring?"
Everyone on the island was stupefied.
Whirlwind Gate.
Black King Gate.
Water Wave Sect.
There was also the Heavenly Eagle Cult.
It was unknown whether Dragon King was dead or alive. This island had long since become the common territory of the Eastern Shallow Ocean's four major powers. This news had already spread throughout True Spirit Continent and the surrounding seas. However, not a single person came to cause trouble. Even the world-famous Xuanhou couldn't do anything to the four major powers. It was said that she was stopped by a powerful Titled Monarch. This made the other powers coveting Dragon God Celestial Palace even more afraid. They could only watch as the four major powers devoured everything.
Now, someone actually dared to tell them to get the f * ck out. Didn't they eat the guts of a leopard?
"He's simply courting death. Even Xuanhou couldn't protect Dragon God Celestial Palace, and he didn't even inquire about it."
"Perhaps it's a guy who received Dragon King's favor back then. He had been in seclusion for several decades and didn't know about the outside world. Seeing Dragon God Celestial Palace changing owners, he couldn't accept it."
"Trouble comes from the mouth. Very well, let the people of the world know the consequences of offending us four great powers."
On the island, the people from the four major forces discussed with disdain.
"Audacious! Which scoundrel is causing trouble here?"
From the western side of the small continent-like island, a figure flew over. He had a head full of gray hair and wore a dark green robe. He seemed to be in his fifties or sixties.
The old man stood a few li away from Ye Chen.
"You are?"
The gray-haired old man was a bit hesitant. He seemed to feel that Ye Chen's face was familiar.
"You're Ye Chen!"
Suddenly, the gray-haired old man shouted. He had seen Ye Chen's portrait. Back when the four major forces were probing Dragon God Celestial Palace, Ye Chen had helped Dragon God Celestial Palace heavily injure the four major forces, causing them to lose a lot of their core forces. As a result, Ye Chen had become a thorn in their flesh.
"Not bad, I'm back!"
Ye Chen looked down at the other party.
"Ye Chen? Which Ye Chen? Could it be True Spirit Continent's Sword Master Ye Chen?"
"It's really him! No wonder I felt a bit familiar."
Due to the distance, the crowd couldn't see clearly. Only after hearing the gray-haired old man's words did they recognize him.
Hiss!
"When did he enter Life and Death realm?"
"Could it be that the deluge of heavenly flowers a while ago was caused by him?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, this Ye Chen is definitely the most frightening genius since Yuan Emperor. He seems to be in his early thirties!"
Ye Chen's fame was too great, so great that no one in the younger generation could compare to him. The four major forces also had geniuses, but compared to Ye Chen, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon. There was simply no comparison. Even Dugu Jue and Dantai Mingyue, who were currently at their peak, were a bit lacking compared to Ye Chen.
And now, Ye Chen had unexpectedly become a Life and Death King. If this news were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
"Too bad, he's still too arrogant. He's just entered Life and Death realm, and he's already thinking of reviving Dragon God Celestial Palace. Who does he think he is? If I were him, I would've chosen to conceal my strength and bide my time."
The discussions below didn't affect the two above.
The gray-haired old man gloomily said, "Ye Chen, what are you doing here? Let me give you a word of advice. Don't cause trouble here. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
The gray-haired old man didn't dare to be careless. It was said that geniuses who entered Life and Death realm possessed extremely powerful battle strength. For example, Xuanhou had become a peak King not long after entering Life and Death realm. Therefore, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Ye Chen in a one-on-one battle. He planned to first persuade Ye Chen to retreat, then join hands with the other three to take him down.
"Leave? Why should I leave? You don't have the qualifications to say such words."
If Ye Chen's guess wasn't wrong, the other party was the sect leader of Water Wave Sect, the Water Wave King. Apart from Dragon God Celestial Palace, the other four Kings of Eastern Shallow Ocean were all high step Kings. Water Wave Sect had Water Wave King, while Whirlwind Gate, Black King Gate, and Sky Eagle Cult had Whirlwind King, Black King King, and Sky Eagle King respectively. It was precisely because these four were all high step Kings that they could contend against Dragon God Celestial Palace. Of course, with Dragon King's strength, he could actually surpass these four Kings. Therefore, behind these four powers, there must be a powerful backer.
"Impudent! Since you don't want to leave, then don't."
This was the first time Water Wave King was looked down upon by a youngster. Although Ye Chen's talent was exceptional, he didn't believe that Ye Chen could raise his battle strength to that extent in such a short time. On the other hand, he had three star battle strength and eight hundred years of cultivation base. He could grind the opponent to death.
"Flood Palm!"
With a furious roar, Water Wave King punched at Ye Chen.
This palm contained the profound of water and earth. As it flew out, a flood overflowed the sky, ultimately condensing into a huge muddy palm. The space was immediately torn apart, shattering into pieces.
Ang!
Ye Chen unsheathed the Sky Scorpio Sword, which immediately burst out with a resplendent golden light. He used the first style of Vibrational Sword Arts, Sky Cutting Sword.
With Water Wave King's battle strength, he wasn't worthy of Ye Chen using the second style of Vibrational Sword Arts, Sky Cutting Sword.
The muddy palm was cut apart, and the sword light containing berserk vibrational power shot toward Water Wave King.
"What sword art is this?"
Water Wave King was greatly shocked. His body turned into a stream of water and promptly dodged. Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the sword light.
Puff!
A small half of Water Wave King's body turned into a bloody mist, and even his internal organs were exposed.
In the next moment, a mournful wail soared into the sky. This sword strike from Ye Chen made Water Wave King feel the threat of death. It should be known that he was neither Ye Chen nor Xuanhou. His Undying Body was only at the peak of Broken Limb Rebirth realm. It would be extremely difficult for him to reach Flesh Derivation realm in his lifetime. This was because Flesh Derivation realm was not something ordinary people could reach. Ordinary Life and Death Kings would either be stuck at the peak of Broken Limb Rebirth realm for their entire lives, or have a fortuitous encounter and directly reach the early Blood Drop Rebirth realm.
Flesh Derivation realm could allow Life and Death Kings to comprehend the mysteries of Undying Body. When they reached Blood Drop Rebirth realm in the future, they would be able to continue advancing all the way to the peak of Blood Drop Rebirth, or even perfection. Through a fortuitous encounter, they would be able to jump from Broken Limb Rebirth to Blood Drop Rebirth realm.
For example, a person with slightly inferior talent would find it difficult to reach Life and Death chamber. If they had a fortuitous encounter, they could directly become a Life and Death King, but their battle strength would not be high. On the other hand, a person with high talent would make the transition in Life and Death Chamber. After becoming a Life and Death King, their battle strength would be extremely formidable, and they could instantly become a mid step King, or even a high step King.
Although Sky Cutting Sword was not Ye Chen's true killing move, it was still not something a high step King could endure. Even if a part of its power was canceled out by the flood palm, it still had enough power to kill Water Wave King. If not for the latter's movement technique being pretty good and dodging a bit, this sword would have taken his life.
"Junior, you're so vicious!"
Circulating the Undying Body, Water Wave King barely managed to restore his body. However, the peak level of limb regrowth wasn't very good for his torso. Thus, his injuries were extremely severe, and he only had thirty to forty percent of his battle strength left. As he spoke, Water Wave King swallowed several glowing pellets.
"This time, I won't kill you. Take your people and scram!"
Ye Chen didn't continue attacking. Water Wave King didn't pose much of a threat to him. Killing him would instead make the situation unmanageable. He was sure that the four factions had an extremely powerful backer. Otherwise, Xuanhou wouldn't have failed to protect the Dragon God Celestial Palace, allowing it to fall into the hands of the four factions.
"You'll regret offending us four factions. You'll definitely regret it."
Water Wave King's complexion turned ashen.
"If you don't leave, I won't mind killing you."
Ye Chen's eyes squinted, and his killing intent spread out bit by bit.
Down below, the people of the four factions had long since been stupefied. One sword … Water Wave King couldn't even receive a single strike from Ye Chen. What kind of situation was this?
"Impossible! Water Wave King is a high step King. How could Ye Chen defeat him with one sword and almost kill him? Don't tell me he's a peak King?"
High step Kings had three star battle strength, but even a three star tyrant couldn't be like Ye Chen, almost killing Water Wave King with one sword strike.
Water Wave King was in a deadlock, as if waiting for something.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right at this moment, the sky suddenly shattered, and three powerful figures walked out.
"Ye Chen, you're courting death!"
"Ye Chen, don't leave this time."
The newcomers were precisely the other three Kings — Whirlwind King, Black King, and Sky Eagle King.
