Chapter 472: Chapter 423: Kings Walk Together

Boom—

With a thunderous roar, Dao Chu made his move, every gesture as if performed by a supreme being emerging from the Divine Land, exuding overwhelming Divine Power. The Principle Traces surged together, blasting away large swathes of mist and delivering a supreme strike.

The formidable demon he faced, comparable to a being from the Fourth Layer Heaven, was defeated by a mere raise of his hand—it’s massive demonic body, two meters tall, shattered into pieces with flesh and blood exploding, falling dead on the spot.

The other Saint Heirs and Saintesses also encountered sneak attacks from Demon Beings, but for young Supreme Powerhouses of their caliber, this posed no problem. They easily pinpointed the locations of their attackers and dispatched them where they stood.

Even the arrival of powerful demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm, with four wings and far surpassing ordinary demons, was unable to withstand them.

The Saint Heirs and Saintesses moved with ease through the mist of the Ancient City, and for young Supreme Powerhouses of this level, it was not a problem. They could smoothly dispel even great dangers, unless faced with a terrifyingly powerful Demon Being that could pose a real threat.

Simultaneously, other young elites gradually adapted to the foggy zone. Whether they were key figures nurtured by major forces or standout talents among their peers, they were all very powerful. Once they got used to the environment, they immediately displayed their considerable strength, swiftly slaying the invading Demon Beings.

Among them, some were as formidable as Zhao Tianyi, capable of cutting down great demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

However, when compared with the charred skeletons of Demon Beings beside Ye Chen, all the young powerhouses were taken aback, including the heirs of Immortal Forces, everyone showing a look of amazement on their faces.

Dao Chu approached through the void; this Saint Heir from the Dao Yan Sacred Land always had a sunny and radiant disposition, affording him a favorable impression. He was the focus of much attention, shining brightly. However, at that moment, even his handsome and sunny face bore a wry smile, "Brother Ye is truly extraordinary. You singlehandedly slew so many Demon Beings with such ease that we can only look up to you."

The Beiming Family’s Saint Heir and Saintess, along with other heirs of Immortal Forces, were also watching from afar with considerable wariness, well aware of Ye Chen’s strength.

Ye Chen smiled, not saying a word, while far off in the distance, Zhao Wudao crushed the skull of a struggling demon of the Divinity Transformation Realm in his hand. The black blood sizzled with green smoke, unable to corrode his palm in the slightest.

Standing in the void like a Demon God, with his black hair disheveled and King’s Divine Crown atop his head, his eyes were cold and merciless. He snorted, "It is merely a matter of utilising the Holy Light Technique for restraint. If we understood the Holy Light Technique, we too could do this with ease."

"What a pity you don’t," Ye Chen replied lightly, eliciting an instant chilling look from Zhao Wudao who was keen to make a move, but Ye Chen was surrounded by other Saint Heirs and Saintesses who would surely intervene.

"Let’s go. There will be plenty of opportunities," said Canglan Saint Son, who had also easily slain a Demon Being, his expression impassive as he took a deep look at Ye Chen.

With a cold huff, Zhao Wudao turned and strode away, his voice carrying over, "Kid, be careful, lest you suddenly find yourself killed."

Ye Chen could tell that this was a threat, but he just smiled indifferently, not taking it to heart.

"Brother Ye, you should be careful. Zhao Wudao has murderous intentions toward you," Dao Chu stepped forward to remind Ye Chen.

"Although Zhao Wudao is cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, and his conduct is despicable, he is indeed very powerful—a young Void King Level Supreme Powerhouse who should not be underestimated," said the Beiming Family’s Saint Heir, frowning slightly.

"It’s fine. If he dares to come, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land will be the place of his demise," Ye Chen responded.

The crowd was taken aback, then shook their heads with wry smiles. Zhao Wudao may seem arrogant, but Ye Chen appeared to be even more so.

"It seems Brother Ye is quite confident about slaying the Prince of Zhao," teased a Saintess with a beguiling smile, her laughter was charming, and her beauty was ravishing. A dazzling beauty with a figure to die for, her flowing hair and striking features making her stunningly ethereal.

A spot of cinnabar between her brows only accentuated her unique allure.

She was not the Saintess of the Dao Yan Sacred Land, nor of the Beiming Family, but rather a Goddess from the Immortal Forces at the Ten Thousand Domain Center’s South Divine Mountain, just as powerful and not inferior to any of those present.

Ye Chen smiled, as if discussing a very ordinary matter, "Trust me, slaying him would be effortless."

The Goddess from South Divine Mountain was startled, then smiled radiantly, her laughter as enchanting as a blooming garden, making even the sun, moon, and stars in the sky seem dim in comparison, truly a smile that could topple cities.

Slay Zhao Wudao? Did you really think you were an Immortal True King? Dao Chu and the other Saint Heirs and Saintesses just smiled helplessly, treating it as nothing more than a joke.

Ye Chen didn’t explain further; everything was clear in his heart.

"Brother Ye, do you know what kind of beings these are? Their aura is sinister and evil, clearly demonic, but they feel more malevolent than typical demons," Dao Yan Saintess inquired softly, her melodious voice as pleasant as an oriole’s.

She was as beautiful as the Goddess from South Divine Mountain, with every frown and smile captivating, her skin was clear as jade and her eyes like autumn water, her exquisite face fragile as if it could shatter with a touch.

Standing near Ye Chen, her alluring fragrance wafted over, even he felt somewhat intoxicated by the scent.

Ye Chen blinked in surprise, "You all don’t know?"

The Saint Heirs and Saintesses shook their heads one after another, admitting their lack of knowledge.

"According to legend, this is a creature from an Alien Race outside the Ten Thousand Domains, quite terrifying," Ye Chen concealed part of the truth and explained vaguely, saying that this creature came from a mysterious and unknown place beyond the Ten Thousand Domains, with a very mysterious and evil origin.

The strong were astonished, these demon-like creatures actually had such an incredible origin, coming from the mysterious and unknown lands beyond the Ten Thousand Domains.

Then Ye Chen asked in surprise, "You all come from the Immortal Sacred Land, so you should also know some related matters, why do you seem to know nothing at all?"

Dao Chu forced a bitter smile, "Brother Ye, you have misunderstood, although we are the Saint Heirs and Saintesses of the Immortal Sacred Land, we are not strong enough and still don’t have access to many things thoroughly."

According to their words, even as Saint Heirs and Saintesses, the next generation of successors for the Immortal Force, they still weren’t strong enough to fully grasp many of the ancient secrets.

"Fellow Daoists, the Ancient City is full of dangers, and our path ahead is surely filled with many such terrifying demons; some may even be King-level or more frightening," Dao Chu opened the discussion with a suggestion, "We should join forces."

"That is correct, it should be so."

In the end, several Saint Heirs and Saintesses, as well as Ye Chen, decided to move forward together; in this eerie ancient city, only sticking together could maximize their safety and prevent any malicious individuals from taking advantage of the mist to ambush them.

Moreover, they were all young Supreme Powerhouses at the Void King Level, each extremely powerful; working together they could even stand up to truly powerful demons.

Naturally, Ye Chen also took Zhao Tianyi with him, as he couldn’t rest easy if Zhao was left to venture alone.

To this, the others certainly didn’t mind, and Zhao Tianyi’s strength was decent, just not as formidable as these young Supreme Powerhouses.

The group traveled together, alert in all aspects; almost all at the Void King Level, they had sufficient strength, and their actions were much easier, making their pace quicker. Soon, they delved deeper into the Ancient City, where thick mist was spreading, covering heaven and earth, disrupting everyone’s vision.

And more demon beings constantly made their moves, covertly ambushing them.

Unfortunately, facing the alliance of six young Supreme Powerhouses at the Void King Level was not good for the demons; the group simply plowed through, leaving behind one corpse after another, some even more powerful with four wings on their backs.

When they had progressed for about half an hour, going much deeper into the Ancient City, the fog had dissipated a lot, but still, all that was visible were endless palaces, pavilions, and collapsed ruins of houses, without any other creatures in sight. However, the feeling they gave to everyone was increasingly gloomy and horrifying, all the more daunting.

Moreover, there were frequent screams echoing, all from young Heavenly Prides, clearly suffering deadly attacks, with many already starting to be killed.

"Be careful, we are approaching the deepest parts, where even more terrifying beings may emerge that could pose a threat to us at this level. Do not be careless," the Goddess of South Divine Mountain spoke up, her striking beauty tense at this moment, her brows slightly furrowed; even with her strong Spiritual Sense, she sensed faint dangers looming.

The young Supreme Powerhouses all heightened their spiritual energy thoroughly, vigilant of everything here.

They occasionally also entered some of the grand but dilapidated buildings and palaces; they were often places where Super Experts had resided, places that might have left behind some considerably valuable treasures.

Unfortunately, every entry ended in disappointment.

In the Ancient City, the treasures from the palaces and buildings where the Super Experts once dwelled seemed to have vanished with the passage of time.

In the meantime, they also encountered other powerful successors from different Immortal Forces, each standing tall like invincible rulers in the distance, bursting with Divine Power, shaking the void, watching them warily from afar before leaving, showing great wariness.

Even king-level individuals, when faced with their temporary alliance of six young Supreme Powerhouses, were full of dread and kept their distance.

Naturally, Ye Chen and the others could not act against other Saint Heirs and Saintesses, young Supreme Powerhouses including Void Kings; they had no real deep-seated grudges or vendettas.

And in this area of the Ancient City, it was too dangerous. Even young Supreme Powerhouses at this level had to treat one another carefully and dare not be careless.

"How strange, outside the Ancient City it was clear that there were rare Divine Materials, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of several thousand years, even Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures, but why is it that upon entering the city, we haven’t seen any at all?" Zhao Tianyi exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Chen and the others also felt astonished, with bewilderment and confusion.

Suddenly, not far ahead, there were as many as five rays of light flashing, with three Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Divine Iron like mutton fat, Star Stone, and other refining divine materials, all flashing before their eyes.

"Here they come!"

The strong were shocked, then immediately attempted to seize the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, divine materials, but a terrible sucking force suddenly emerged, quickly whisking these divine materials away before they had the chance to seize them.

Clatter clatter—

Suddenly, the sound of chains came from ahead, and instantly, everyone tensed up.

Vaguely visible amid the thick fog ahead, there was a dreadful, colossal figure emerging, faint and indistinct, as an ominous Qi Mechanism began to engulf the surroundings.
