Chapter 2564: Chapter 2538: Threat in the Shadows (Eight updates, asking for votes!)
Ye Chen only broke through to the Great Void One Layer Heaven after absorbing the power of the Divine Devil Pond.
This was actually an illusion.
His level of cultivation meant nothing to Ye Chen.
It was suppressed by his reincarnation bloodline!
The reincarnation bloodline made every division of realms that Ye Chen broke through hell mode!
Thousand times harder than it is for ordinary people!
Moreover, the Great Void Thunder Tribulation has yet to descend! Ye Chen didn’t know why!
He knew that the Tribulation lightning was brewing!
And at this moment!
Inner sanctums number thirty-three, Divine Elephant Fist Han Ke, dead!
Han Jiaojiao lay on the ground, watching Han Ke turn to dust. She reached out hopelessly into the air, grasping at nothing. In her eyes, all rationality had vanished. Defeated and disfigured by Chu Ying, and now, her only dependable cousin was also turned to dust by someone?
Han Jiaojiao’s Dao heart completely collapsed.
Ye Chen’s gaze swept over those present, and along the way, a few gazes collided with his, some gazes from the far-off inner courtyard!
He knew that some disciples from the inner courtyard had witnessed his battle with Han Ke.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and spoke out forcefully: “Chu Ying is my woman. Don’t harbor any thoughts about her, and definitely do not harm a single hair on her. Otherwise, I assure you, Han Ke’s fate will be your fate!”
The sound waves thundered and surged in all directions, instantly reaching every corner of the Divine Extreme Sect!
The crowds in the Immortal Heart Forest all anxiously lowered their heads, not daring to raise them, not daring to show the slightest disrespect, not daring to make any movements that would make Ye Chen think they were defying his orders.
Yes, orders!
In the eyes of these disciples, Ye Chen was now a Supreme existence!
The embodiment of a fiendgod, in every sense of the word!
Behind Ye Chen, Chu Ying stood with a slight blush on her pretty face, smiling warmly.
Smiling happily.
The feeling of being protected by such a powerful man was truly wonderful.
She believed that as long as Ye Chen was here, there was nothing in this world that could truly harm her!
Ye Chen turned around to look at Chu Ying. Seeing the trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.
He had intended to let Chu Ying face conflicts and grow in them, but the moment Chu Ying was injured by Han Ke’s breath, he regretted it!
His heart ached!
For now, let himself protect Little Ying. When she had grown enough to face the strong figures of the inner sanctums, it would not be too late to let her temper herself.
Within the grand hall of the Divine Extreme Sect, a group of elders, Sect Master Yu Zhenzi, and Tu Lanxin, were sitting together. Smiles adorned their faces, these ancient monsters who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years were now cheerful and delighted like children!
That lad Ye Chen, truly a man!
Ye Chen’s performance had once again brought them a surprise!
Kill Han Ke with a single punch?
Even true disciples might not be capable of this, right?
Ye Chen has joined the Divine Extreme Sect for how long now? And he is already comparable to a true disciple?
If they were not grinning ear to ear and laughing foolishly at such a performance, that would be surprising!
Originally, among the various sects, the Divine Extreme Sect, due to the lack of monstrous disciples, could say that during the annual exchange of disciples for sparring and exchanges, these high-ranking members have been a laughingstock. But this year, they know that the Divine Extreme Sect is about to rise!
Because the Divine Extreme Sect has produced Ye Chen!
The demonic nature—Ye Chen!
Within the inner sanctums, in a pavilion made entirely from white jade, a rich aroma of wine wafts through, with four people seated around the only table in the pavilion.
These four have differing appearances, yet one thing is the same.
Their eyes are a deep purple, and the aura they exude is extremely mysterious, seemingly different from ordinary people!
Moreover, they all radiate a heavy scent of blood, clearly these people have taken many lives! Just like those who crawled out from a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!
These four are; from the inner sanctums, the first-ranked Supreme Emperor Hong Yan, the third-ranked Flame Demon Qi Xin, the fourth-ranked Thunder Demon Yu Feiye, and the sixth-ranked Stone Demon Zhao Kun.
These few stand at the peak of the inner sanctums and moreover, they are not purely human!
They are of the Human Demon Clan!
What is the Human Demon Clan?
The Human Demon Clan is unlike the Outer Heaven Demon that contends with the Divine Kingdom; they can be considered native demons of the Divine Kingdom!
Even surpassing the demons of Lingwu Continent!
These demons, billions of years ago, may have originated from the same source as the Outer Heaven Demons, but, over billions of years, the Human Demon Clan stayed behind in the Divine Kingdom. They intermarried with humans, completely adapting to the spiritual energy of the Divine Kingdom, and have become a completely different existence.
If the Outer Heaven Demons were to truly invade successfully, the first they would likely slay would be these Human Demons!
Because the Outer Heaven Demons pride themselves on their bloodline! The existence of the Human Demon Clan, which has mixed human blood yet possesses a part of Heavenly Demon heritage, is a disgrace to the Outer Heaven Demons!
Therefore, it is natural for the Human Demon Clan to join the frontline in the fight against the Outer Heaven Demons!
The Human Demon Clan, although mixed with human blood, retains some of the demon origins. Most demons are stronger than humans!
Thus, the martial artists of the Human Demon Clan often have heaven-defying monstrous talents and are far stronger than their human cultivator counterparts at the same level!
Hong Yan and the other three, not yet over thirty years old, already count as elite existences within the Divine Kingdom!
Hong Yan is extraordinarily heaven-defying, at twenty-eight his level of cultivation is terrifying to the extreme!
Qi Xin, Yu Feiye, Zhao Kun, and others are also of Disaster Slaying cultivation!
Qi Xin, with a handsome yet slightly sinister face, fair skin, and exquisitely delicate features, carries himself with grace. He wears an earring made of a purple gemstone that seems to contain an entire starry sky, emitting an alluring yet dangerous vibe. Although he’s not smiling, anyone who sees him would inexplicably feel an urge to get close.
But they also dare not get too close!
He smiled at the others and said, “Gentlemen, have you heard about a recent exceptional disciple from the Servant Institute who has become an idol for many? Do you know the title they’ve given him?”
While Qi Xin shares the same Human Demon heritage as Hong Yan, his appearance and demeanor are completely different. Though he can be considered handsome, his face is rugged and intensely masculine, and he is also known for his fiery temperament!
Upon hearing Hong Yan’s words, he crushed the wine cup in his hand, his expression vicious as he said, “Heh! Demonic nature! A mere servant disciple dares to be called a demonic nature? Even Brother Hong’s title is only Supreme Emperor, yet this guy is called a demonic nature and accepts it as if it’s his due? He’s not taking our Human Demon Clan seriously at all!”
Yu Feiye, with a pale face and somewhat sinister appearance, also coldly sneered, “Killing a few useless humans and he dares to be called a demonic nature? Are these humans trying to trample over us? Truthfully, it’s been a while since I’ve played with ants in the sect. How about we play with this ant?”
