The number of people imprisoned in Dragon God Celestial Palace was numerous. After all, no matter how big the secret realm was, the number of people it could hold was limited. It could only transport the elites inside.
Due to the island's size and the number of people imprisoned, Ye Chen had no choice but to release a portion of the people and have them liberate the others, allowing them to regroup in the palace plaza.
A few days later, everyone was released.
The people of Dragon God Celestial Palace were no strangers to Ye Chen. One was Xuanhou, and the other was Ye Chen. Both of them were firm allies. Now that Dragon King's fate was unknown, Xuanhou and Ye Chen were undoubtedly the palace's final reliance.
"It's Ye Chen! Ye Chen recovered Dragon God Celestial Palace!"
"A peak King … Another peak King has appeared in the world. Palace Master's eyesight is indeed formidable. Who could've expected that Ye Chen would have the strength of a peak King as soon as he entered Life and Death realm?"
"How can you call him by his name? You should call him Dragon God Envoy or His Highness Ye Chen!"
Tens of thousands of Dragon God Celestial Palace's members were gathered in a plaza, discussing spiritedly.
As members of Dragon God Celestial Palace, although they were usually modest on the surface, they were extremely proud in their bones. However, with Dragon King's departure, Dragon God Celestial Palace's position immediately became awkward. Without a Life and Death King overseeing it, Dragon God Celestial Palace would no longer be the Dragon God Celestial Palace of the past. Its grade would also drop by a grade, becoming a sixth grade overlord sect at most. This was also the main reason why many fifth grade sects were fervently nurturing their second and third Life and Death Kings.
In fact, Dragon God Celestial Palace used to have more than one Life and Death King. At their peak, they had three. Unfortunately, apart from Dragon King, one died in a king grade forbidden zone, and the other was killed by a star beast. Thereafter, no matter what price Dragon King and Dragon God Celestial Palace paid, they were unable to cultivate the fourth Life and Death King. They could only set their sights on outsiders, and thus, Xuanhou and Ye Chen came into being.
The majestic Dragon God Celestial Palace had been invaded by four major forces. This made the members of Dragon God Celestial Palace feel extremely humiliated. In the past, as long as Dragon King was present, who would dare to provoke Dragon God Celestial Palace, let alone invade and occupy it? Therefore, when Ye Chen reclaimed Dragon God Celestial Palace, they were extremely moved and grateful.
"Your Highness Ye Chen, many thanks for saving Dragon God Celestial Palace."
An old man of high status stepped forward and cupped his fists.
Ye Chen said, "As Dragon God Envoy of Dragon God Celestial Palace, reclaiming Dragon God Celestial Palace is also one of my missions. There's no need to thank me." Back when Ye Chen was still a Sea of Soul Master, he was conferred the position of Dragon God Envoy by Dragon King. Although his authority was not as great as Azure Dragon Hall Leader's, his position was extremely high, second only to Goddess Xu Jing. He could be said to be Xu Jing's protector and spokesperson.
"Your Highness Ye Chen, is Palace Master really gone?"
Suddenly, another old man stood up and asked.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm not too clear. Perhaps Senior Dragon King has already left Elysium, perhaps …" Ye Chen didn't finish his words. Entering the Death Road was extremely dangerous. In the records, even Four Extreme Emperor hadn't made it out. One could well imagine how difficult it was. Of course, deep in his heart, he hoped that Senior Dragon King had heaven-defying luck and successfully left Elysium. In that case, they might meet again one day.
Rumble!
Just as the old man was about to continue speaking, the sky suddenly darkened. Black clouds, as if ignoring space and time, quietly gathered together. Black lightning filled the horizon, and a frightening pressure came from the depths of the void, faintly carrying a dragon roar.
"Dragon Might!"
Ye Chen squinted his eyes, his expression grave.
Dragon Might was the will of a giant dragon. Normally, only flood dragons with dragon bloodline could emit dragon might. He remembered that when Ye Chen first came to Sky Martial Region and roamed the Savage Desolate Ancient Land, he encountered an ice flood dragon which contained a faint dragon might. Then, in the Dragon Ruins, he saw a genuine giant dragon skeleton, which contained an extremely powerful dragon might. It was clearly an inanimate object, but it was still difficult to approach.
The dragon might before his eyes was countless times more powerful than the ice flood dragon's dragon might. It was even above the giant dragon skeleton's dragon might. After all, the giant dragon skeleton was an inanimate object, and its dragon might was less than ten percent.
Under this dragon might, the whole heaven and earth turned silent. The seawater gradually calmed down, and the wind stopped blowing. Under Life and Death realm, no one could move. Even blinking and breathing were difficult.
In the whole world, only two people could emit such a dragon might. One was the Black Dragon Old Ancestor, and the other was the Dragon King. The Dragon King's fate was unknown, so the answer was obvious.
Black Dragon Old Ancestor!
"Not good! Black Dragon Old Ancestor is here!"
Everybody screamed inwardly, their faces turning pale.
Black Dragon Old Ancestor was one of the oldest titled monarchs in Elysium. Although he didn't often appear in public, there wasn't a single peak martial artist who hadn't heard of his name. Black Dragon Old Ancestor had personally come. Clearly, Ye Chen had angered him.
"Ye Chen, you're really daring!"
A loud voice could be heard, which felt like the might of the Heavens.
"Black Dragon Old Ancestor, why don't we meet?" Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile.
"Meet? Humph! I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and kill you."
The cold voice completely ignored the distance and directly smashed down.
"Many thanks to Old Ancestor for not killing me."
How could Ye Chen not see that Black Dragon Old Ancestor had not come to kill him? He had made such a big commotion mainly to probe and express his attitude, as well as to warn Ye Chen. Of course, if Ye Chen's strength and speed weren't worth mentioning, Black Dragon Old Ancestor probably wouldn't mind killing him to prevent future troubles. Therefore, Ye Chen didn't want to continue angering him, so he gave him a way out.
"You think by lowering your stance, my anger will be appeased? Roar!"
A resounding dragon roar resounded through the nine heavens. In the sky filled with black clouds, an enormous black horned dragon was faintly discernible. A frightening dragon might spread out, shaking the heaven and earth within thousands of li. It seemed as if the world would shatter at any moment, falling into a doomsday world.
Whoosh!
A black dragon claw of the black dragon reached down. This black dragon claw was a bit too big, covering the sun and the moon, as well as any light. As a result, when the claw reached down, it gave people a feeling that the sky had collapsed. Each of those sharp nails was like a steep mountain, while the palm was like a plain.
The world was turning upside down!
Everything was in this claw.
"I can't block it?"
Ye Chen's expression changed. The black dragon was not the real body of Black Dragon Old Ancestor, but an illusion of him. His real body should be hiding in the void. Even so, the claw of the black horned dragon still gave Ye Chen a premonition that he couldn't block it.
Flood Dragons were extremely powerful, and the Red-eyed Black Dragon was an outstanding one among the flood dragons, occupying the position of overlord.
Flood Dragons cultivated to the level of Monster King. Not only was their demonic power unparalleled, their physical body was also unbelievably strong. They cultivated both internal and external energy, and could be said to be invincible among their peers. They didn't need to be too profound to deal a fatal blow.
Rumble!
The entire island of the Dragon God Celestial Palace was shaking. The black dragon claw was as fast as lightning, grabbing a corner of the huge island. That thousand-li perimeter corner was instantly torn off, as if an apple had been bitten off, without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
The ocean surged, and tsunamis continued.
The black dragon claw retracted.
"Space profound movement art!"
In the depths of the void, Black Dragon Old Ancestor's voice carried a hint of anger.
"Ye Chen, you better not continue to anger me. Otherwise, you'll have to bear my strongest wrath."
The voice gradually faded away. Black Dragon Old Ancestor had left.
"I won't be seeing you off!"
In the sky, Ye Chen's figure appeared.
The black dragon claw was too powerful. Even if Ye Chen could block it, he would definitely be in a difficult situation. Moreover, he didn't plan to fight to the death with the Black Dragon Old Ancestor, so he didn't intend to block it. Instead, he directly used his space profound movement art to dodge the attack.
Of course, this was only him. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to dodge no matter how hard they tried. Only the space profound could ignore the limitation of distance to a certain extent.
"The weak are prey to the strong. Fortunately, I'm not a weakling anymore."
The Black Dragon Old Ancestor left as fast as he came. This was mainly because he knew that he couldn't do anything to Ye Chen. With the space profound, although Ye Chen couldn't beat him, he could still escape safely. Instead of that, he might as well stop while he was ahead. A slight warning would suffice. If he really set his mind on killing Ye Chen, it would only make him lose face.
However, Ye Chen also knew that although the Black Dragon Old Ancestor couldn't do anything to him, it didn't mean that the other titled monarchs couldn't do anything to him. Among the titled monarchs of the same level, the Demonic Beast King's battle strength was always very strong. In a head-on battle, they were stronger than human titled monarchs. However, in terms of profound, they were weaker than human titled monarchs. For example, if the Black Dragon Old Ancestor was replaced by Xu King or the Air Emperor, Ye Chen might be able to escape safely, but he might also be killed by the other party.
It should be known that Xu King, Air Emperor, and Xuanhou all had some achievements in the space profound. They might not be weaker than Ye Chen. Without the advantage of space profound, Ye Chen could only rely on his powerful soul force. The space profound had a very high requirement on soul force. The stronger one's soul force was, the stronger the space profound of the same realm would be.
As soon as the Black Dragon Old Ancestor left, the black clouds in the sky rapidly dispersed, and the intense sunlight poured down like a myriad of golden rays. The seawater and the ground were suffused with a faint golden color.
Recovering from their stiff bodies, everybody looked at the corner of the island that had turned into seawater and sucked in a breath of cold air. A thousand li of land had been erased just like that. Ordinary Life and Death Kings would have a hard time accomplishing such a feat. Even peak Kings wouldn't be able to do it so easily.
Only a titled monarch could have such an inconceivable method.
Ye Chen's soul power was countless times stronger than everybody else's. Through his soul perception, he could clearly see a grand claw print and four finger holes in the ocean. It was like an undersea demon cave, and seawater was pouring in with all its might, filling up the space. However, due to the existence of air, the seawater couldn't fill up halfway. The density of the air was astonishing, and it was contending with the seawater above.
