Eternal Holy Emperor

Ye Chen looked at the Seven Supreme Pinnacles, then nodded and said, "Fine, I can agree not to kill them."

Upon hearing this, the three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures breathed a sigh of relief to some extent. After all, these were their offspring or direct disciples, naturally carrying great hopes, and they were reluctant to see them executed.

"Thank you!"

The three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures cupped their fists towards Ye Chen, expressing their gratitude from afar. Otherwise, if the Combat Saint King truly took action, they would only be able to watch helplessly as the seven were slain.

Ye Chen nodded indifferently and then said, "However, they may be spared from death, but not from punishment. In Mist Pass, I didn’t step forward, yet they provoked me first, and now they want to seize my ancient coffin. This matter will not be so easily settled."

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures, which had just been at ease, tightened again: "Combat Saint King, what do you want?"

The Seven Supreme Pinnacles and all other trial talents looked towards Ye Chen.

"Compensation!"

Ye Chen softly uttered the two words, yet the meaning was straightforward and direct.

Everyone knew that the "compensation" from the Combat Saint King’s mouth would not be a simple one. The three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures had a bad premonition: "I wonder what kind of compensation the Combat Saint King desires."

"Seven Eighth Rank High-grade Pills, seven types of Taichu Raw Stone, Chaos Primordial Stone, or equivalent Divine Material, each no less than a hundred catties. Five original secret manuals of Ancient Monarchs, ten zhang square of Divine Spiritual Origin. Additionally, one King World Heart—"

One by one, names continually poured from the Combat Saint King’s mouth, and with each mention, the faces of the three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures became uglier, while the astonishment on others’ faces deepened, and the urge to curse also grew stronger among the Seven Supreme Pinnacles.

Even the three Supreme Heavenly Prides under them were left speechless and stared at their lord Ye Chen.

Goodness, what compensation is this, it’s clearly extortion, and it’s blatant, a lion’s open mouth extortion.

You must know, whether it’s Eighth Rank High-grade Pills or Taichu Raw Stone, Chaos Primordial Stone, or King World Heart, none are not priceless treasures in the entire Great Universe, each enough to drive many Great Powers into madness. Yet the treasures of the same value spewing from Ye Chen’s mouth were not fewer than thirty types.

Though it’s an extortion, it’s extortion to an excessive degree that even as onlookers, they couldn’t help but sweat for the three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures.

"Combat Saint King, isn’t your compensation too harsh, your lion’s mouth is too wide open!"

The three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures are Emperor’s sons, and their fathers are true Supreme Emperors, naturally possessing countless treasures.

Regarding ordinary treasures, they really didn’t care much, but from the Combat Saint King’s mouth, none of the treasures mentioned were ordinary, and giving any one of them would be enough to make them ache with pain, let alone giving so many. Even with their disposition, they couldn’t help but feel an urge to curse.

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Either compensate, or let them die, your choice."

Simple and brutal!

"Combat Saint King, they say it’s good to meet in the future. Just let them go today, and when you meet in the future, you can drink a cup together." Ost, the Life Emperor’s son, suddenly said.

The Emperor’s son surrounded by red gold light also said, "Combat Saint King, you will eventually go to the Ten Heavenly Realm. Though your strength is indeed strong, which we cannot deny, you should understand that the Ten Heavenly Realm is the end of the Supreme Ancient Road, where all Emperor’s sons and daughters gather, all are true strongest young supremes, none weaker than the other. Even if you are powerful, you dare not claim absolute supremacy. I believe you do not wish to provoke several great enemies right from the start."

The words carried a certain subtle threat.

Many nodded in agreement.

Indeed, they are the Supreme Emperor’s sons in the Ten Heavenly Realm, noble, and the strongest young supremes, the strongest beings and sovereigns within the Ten Heavenly Realm. Offending them now, entering the Ten Heavenly Realm in the future, it would be difficult to make a step forward.

Ye Chen raised his eyes, scanning the three of them, and said, "May I consider this a threat?"

The Emperor’s son surrounded by red gold light spoke with rare assertiveness, "Not a threat, just a sincere suggestion to the Combat Saint King. It depends on whether you understand."

The other two Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures also carried a bit more assertive tone.

This made the current atmosphere even tenser.

The Seven Supreme Pinnacles were somewhat humiliated initially, but seeing their fathers and teachers become assertive today, they seemed to gain endless confidence, straightening their backs, coldly looking at Ye Chen, "Combat Saint King, it is advised you better release us obediently. And hand over the ancient coffin, otherwise once you enter the Ten Heavenly Realm, you’ll undoubtedly make no progress."

That person, the second among the Supreme Three Heroes, had recently been slapped in the face by Ye Chen in front of everyone, forming a blood-sea enmity with Ye Chen. Now seeing his father become assertive, he too followed suit.

He must admit, the Combat Saint King is very strong, the four Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures are helpless against him already, evident by this, yet in the Ten Heavenly Realm, be it a dragon, it must coil, be it a tiger, it must crouch.

The scariness of that place implies it’s not a domain for the Combat Saint King to rule.

Ye Chen was silent for a moment and said, "You’ve put me in a difficult position."

Did the Combat Saint King give in?

Many shook their heads in disappointment, though upon further thought, it is as expected. Although the Combat Saint King is formidable, the strongest young supreme, aiming to step into the Ten Heavenly Realm, he will inevitably face those Emperor’s sons and daughters and other strongest young supremes. If he offends all now, it will indeed be as the second among the Supreme Three Heroes said, making no progress in the future.

It’s just a pity that even the Combat Saint King, praised for his dominance, had to give in at this moment?

The second among the Supreme Three Heroes spoke again, "It’s not difficult, just that you’re sensible, knowing there are some you cannot offend, willing to re—"

Yet before the word "release" was finished, Ye Chen suddenly appeared in front of him like a flash, easily grasping his neck with one hand, as if holding a chicken in disgrace. His cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears, even more, making the second freeze in horror, hair standing on end, "What I meant by difficult is why do you insist on making me act."

"No—"

The second screamed in terror, and the faces of the three Emperor’s Light and Shadow figures changed. Just as they were about to stop him, they saw Ye Chen’s palm explode with divine power, under everyone’s watch, completely blasting and annihilating the second’s head as well as his divine soul.

Thud—

A headless corpse fell from the sky, crashing into the dust.

Then in everyone’s ears, Ye Chen’s cold voice rang: "Congratulations to you all, you have succeeded in angering me. From now on, they all must die!"

With those words, judgment was passed down!
