Chapter 482: Chapter 433: True King, Again True King!

"Dragon Sturgeon, I, Ye Chen, will take it."

Ye Chen stood at the highest point of the pyramid altar, stretching his hand to directly seize the Divine Spiritual Origin that had piled up half a zhang high, along with a two-chi-long priceless Dragon Sturgeon, which also ended up in his hand.

Everyone was stunned, never expecting Ye Chen to be able to leap up under such terrifying gravity and reach the top of the highest altar. What an incredibly powerful physique he must possess to accomplish this.

"Brother Ye... his Treasure Body is powerful beyond reach for the likes of us, I’m afraid it’s comparable to the True King Divine Body," Dao Chu sighed lightly.

Under such fearsome gravity, Daoist Divine Power was suppressed to the extreme, difficult to unleash, with only the physical body still effective, exerting truly formidable strength.

Boom, Boom, Boom—

Under the terrifying gravity, the Blood Qi within Ye Chen started boiling up, thundering loudly like a roaring flood, shaking the ears to deafness, making everyone’s hearts tremble and feeling truly the strength of his powerful body.

Even while the Dao and laws were suppressed, his strength was so immense, as if a Primordial Supreme was lying dormant within him, harboring endless potential surging to life.

He stood alone at the top of the pyramid altar, his gaze indifferent, sweeping over all the kings. He only nodded slightly at Dao Chu, Beiming Palace King, and other monarchs, but his aloof demeanor seemed like the King of all kings, standing high above, receiving the gaze of all, causing many monarchs to huff coldly.

Spiritual Origin is rare, and the Dragon Sturgeon is priceless!

Ye Chen gazed at the two-chi-long Dragon Sturgeon in the Divine Spiritual Origin with endless fervor.

In his past life, he was fortunate enough to catch a Dragon Sturgeon only a chi in length, and it drove all the great Saints of the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms mad with desire. Now that he had obtained one twice as long, its value was immeasurable.

Moreover, this two-chi-long Dragon Sturgeon was not even dead but still had vitality in hibernation, making it even rarer. If it had died, its medicinal efficacy would be diminished many times over.

Ultimately, what Ye Chen wanted most was the Dragon Origin within the Dragon Sturgeon’s body, to derive Dragon Blood and temper a supreme physical body.

"Hurry and put the Dragon Sturgeon into the spatial dimension; this place is fraught with great danger," Elder Yan warned.

Ye Chen naturally understood, but his expression changed immediately because, under the horrible gravity, the space within his body couldn’t be smoothly opened. The gravity here was horrific to the extreme, and even the Dragon Sturgeon would shatter if not for the Divine Spiritual Origin neutralizing the gravity.

But there was Elder Yan, who took action, whisking away the Spiritual Origin and Dragon Sturgeon into the Ancient Ring with a swish.

"Let’s act together; we must not let him get the Dragon Sturgeon easily," a monarch urged.

The Dragon Sturgeon was invaluable; everyone wanted to seize it, and no one wanted to miss this opportunity.

Only Dao Chu, Beiming Palace King, and a few other monarchs who had previously stood shoulder to shoulder in battle took a step back, descending below the pyramid altar, with their Divine Power surging, ready for combat, signifying one thing.

At the very top of the pyramid altar, they would not take action, not gang up, because of their previous friendship. However, given the invaluable Dragon Sturgeon, they would make their move just below on the altar.

Ye Chen felt somewhat grateful, as they had only met by chance; doing so much was already commendable.

Other monarchs, including Zhao Wudao and Canglan Saint Son, would not do the same; they had already made their move, all rushing towards Ye Chen, strenuously opening their King’s Divine Power, wielding Divine Power to take action.

The higher up they were, the more horrifying the gravity became, suppressing the Divine Power within their bodies, unable to resurge, almost reduced to relying solely on their physical bodies for attack.

Ye Chen sneered, leaping onto the three-zhang ancient coffin again, struggling for the treasures wrapped in Divine Light on top, and then leaped down from the top of the altar, soaring into the sky.

Boom—

A terrifying aura bloomed, reaching everywhere, making the void of this field tremble. Everyone turned in shock to the mysterious figure shrouded in mist, who at that moment had a Supreme Divine Power erupting from within, unstoppable even by the overwhelming gravity of the three-zhang ancient coffin.

"What, does he also carry another Forbidden Secret Treasure within his body?"

The kings all changed color, as in such gravitation, being bolstered by a Forbidden Secret Treasure was the most terrifying, able to surpass a monarch.

"No, it’s not a Forbidden Secret Treasure, but the Divine Power of his own body that has reached this level."

All the monarchs could feel the fluctuations of that Divine Power, it was of the same origin as the swordsman in the green robe.

At this moment, there could only be one who was still powerful—the Immortal True King!

At this instant, everyone’s faces changed dramatically, finally realizing the mysterious figure shrouded in mist was no ordinary monarch but an Immortal True King, enduring so deeply that he only revealed himself after Ye Chen had obtained the Dragon Sturgeon.

Probably, he also had the same plans as Ye Chen, wary of the coalition of the kings, thus concealing his aura, and taking it one step at a time to draw closer.

Unfortunately, he was preempted by Ye Chen.

The mist surrounding the mysterious strongman gradually dispersed, revealing his true identity—a man in a green robe, holding a Divine Sword, with a stern face, indeed the swordsman who had joined Ye Chen in the selection battle for the outstanding youngsters, unexpectedly it was him.

Ye Chen gave a slight start, and then shook his head with a wry smile. Probably those major forces never imagined that the mere battle for Cloud City’s quota would involve two young True Kings. If they knew, they would surely be stunned.

He looked at another mysterious strong figure surrounded by the glow of dawn, but unfortunately, the person had no intention of revealing their true face.

"What, it’s actually him, Ye Gucheng from the Ye Family at the Ten Thousand Domain Center!"

A King recognized the true identity of the swordsman in the green shirt, and immediately, everyone’s expression changed drastically.

In the contemporary world, it is well-known what kind of power the Ye Family wields: they are a supreme Emperor Clan, a mighty family which once had Emperors and Sovereigns, although that was in a previous epoch. Despite that, this clan has always had an incomparable depth of heritage, spanning across two epochs, to the extent that even the Human Emperor Sovereign has profound respect and wariness for both the Emperor and Royal Families.

In this generation, the Ye Family has produced an extraordinary Heavenly Pride, immensely powerful and unparalleled, a natural-born genius who people suspect to be the Immortal True King, named Ye Gucheng.

And now Ye Gucheng had completely revealed himself, exhibiting the power of a true Immortal True King Level. The terrifying Sword Intent he now emitted could not be suppressed by the weight of the three-zhang ancient coffin, as in the void it seemed as if there were tens of thousands of illusory Dao Swords traversing the sky, yearning to tear the firmament apart.

Boom—

The void buzzed as the swordsman in green soared high, like a Supreme Divine Sword unsheathed. He leaped onto the top of the nearly seventy-eight zhang tall Pyramid Altar, stunning the Kings—such physical strength was very powerful, not the slightest bit weaker than Ye Chen, equally fearsome.

"As expected of an Immortal True King, every aspect of his being has reached the ultimate ascension, and his physical body alone is so strong. He surpasses the Kings and is without equal," a King inwardly exclaimed, feeling dejected and losing color.

Ye Gucheng was surrounded by a boundless and explosive Sword Intent that swept the sky, confronting Ye Chen.

His black hair fluttered, his expression cold and detached, making him appear unflappable. Yet the oppressing Sword Intent distorted even the surrounding void, as if it were about to be torn apart at any moment, very terrifying and astonishing.

"Hand it over."

Ye Gucheng’s words were brief, but the Divine Power was oppressive. Once an Immortal True King truly did intend to put pressure on someone, even Kings had to admit defeat, simply not a match at all.

"Brother Ye, just hand it over, don’t hurt yourself."

Dao Chu, the Beiming Palace King, and other Kings who had collaborated before all successively advised him; they did not want to see Ye Chen killed by Ye Gucheng.

However, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Since the Dragon Sturgeon has been obtained by me, it’s impossible to hand it over."

He refused, leaving everyone dumbfounded and astonished.

Faced with such a formidable and invincible Immortal True King, it was difficult to say whether to admire his courage or pity his foolishness.

Zhao Wudao and the Canglan Saint Son, on the other hand, were sneering at his foolishness, likewise wishing earnestly that he would die quickly.

"It’s commendable bravery but unfortunately, you lack strength."

Ye Gucheng spoke indifferently and without emotion. Instead of further persuasion, he took a step forward. His right index and middle fingers together pointed skyward, sending a beam of Sword Radiance soaring. Despite the intense gravity, it was impossible to resist the burst of Sword Radiance, a testament to the Invincible and Supreme might of the Immortal True King, slashing downwards at Ye Chen.

Boom—

The Sword Light surged into the sky, engulfing the apex of the Pyramid. All the Kings couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh. Despite being adversaries and competing for the Dragon Sturgeon, witnessing a King being killed at a mere command still elicited a sense of regret from them.

Yet, after the Sky Light passed, they suddenly saw Ye Gucheng’s expression go from startled to serious.

What is this...

As they all looked toward the apex, they found Ye Chen still standing firm atop the Pyramid, unmoving like a mountain, his clothing intact, facing Ye Gucheng head-on, and all of them looked shocked.

Faced with such a terrifying strike, how could Ye Chen remain unharmed?

But still, no one guessed that Ye Chen was a young True King because they hadn’t reacted yet.

"You are very strong, take this move!"

Boom—

Ye Gucheng made another move, this time sending countless Sword Radiance across the sky, recklessly emanating Sword Intent, seeming as if it could tear the void apart, all attacking Ye Chen.

"Sword Dao, I also know a thing or two about it."

Ye Chen said, with a serious expression. He unleashed the Spirit Rhinoceros Sword Finger, and ten thousand Sword Radiance erupted, clashing with Ye Gucheng’s Sword Intent, creating a metallic symphony that was incessant to the ear. The void itself seemed on the verge of shattering in their collision.

In the end, neither could gain the upper hand over the other.

"What? Ye Gucheng moved and yet couldn’t overcome Ye Chen; who really is this Ye Chen?"

All the Kings were greatly surprised. They had thought Ye Chen was only a somewhat stronger King, but now it seemed possible that he could match Ye Gucheng in strength.

Could he also be—

An Immortal True King!?
