CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 109: TWO LETTERS (2ND UPDATE)

Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order!

Upon seeing the token in Ye Chen’s hand, the Silver Ape King’s pupils shrank to pinholes, and his movements completely halted. He could only stare in shock at this human boy, not understanding why he had that token in his hand.

All those who reached the Heavenly Divine Realm in strength were eligible to know about the Heavenly Punishment and were automatically listed as members of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance.

The leader of this incomparable force, the Heavenly Slaying Alliance, naturally controlled the fate of the entire Tiandu Continent with several invincible Divine Beings, each possessing a Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order.

Once bestowed upon someone else, as long as one held the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order, it was as though the Divine Being itself was present. No one dared violate its dignity; otherwise, it was like directly challenging the Divine Being.

The token Ye Chen held was indeed one of the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Orders, and the aura on this Holy Order felt very familiar to the Silver Ape King—it was the aura of his master, the Hongtian Great Saint.

All of this filled the Silver Ape King with astonishment and confusion.

Ye Chen gripped the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order given by Hongtian Great Saint and smiled faintly. He hadn’t expected that in such a short time, this Holy Order would be so timely, especially facing the Silver Ape King under Hongtian Great Saint—it all seemed a bit like Tian Yi’s trickery.

However, holding this Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order, the Silver Ape King didn’t dare to lay a hand on him, since the Alliance Leader was a Divine Being, inviolable. Moreover, the Holy Order contained Divine pressure; it wasn’t just a token but could be considered a Magic Artifact that could protect its holder at crucial moments.

"Silver Ape King, do you still dare to strike me?" Ye Chen asked with a cold laugh.

"Who exactly are you?" The Silver Ape King was filled with shock, staring intently at Ye Chen, not expecting him to possess his master’s Holy Order.

But it was indeed this Holy Order that prevented him from acting rashly.

—Boom—

At that moment, from the deepest parts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a supreme Divine pressure surged, overwhelming the battlefield. A mighty voice spread across the entire battlefield, "Little Ape, release this young friend immediately, you must not harm him. Also, cease this upheaval at once."

The voice carried an authority that could not be refused. One could guess without thinking—it must be the Silver Ape King’s master, the legendary Hongtian Great Saint, speaking.

Indeed, this legendary Divine Being was still alive. Both Heavenly Divine Realm beings gasped in awe, their faces lighting up with joy.

With Hongtian Great Saint speaking, this historically terrifying Demon Beast upheaval was bound to end.

With the master’s command, how could the Silver Ape King dare to object? He instantly released Ye Chen, gave him a deep look, and with a whoosh, he left.

Simultaneously, countless Demon Beasts in the battlefield under the roar of the Silver Ape King and several Martial God Realm Demon Beasts, rapidly retreated back into the Demon Beast Mountain Range. All these signs proved that this world’s most terrifying Demon Beast upheaval was coming to an end.

Until every last Demon Beast Army had completely withdrawn into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the million-strong army on the battlefield still stood there stunned, feeling as though they were dreaming, as everything had happened so suddenly. One moment, blades were clashing, on the verge of life and death combat, and the next, the battle had completely ended.

This abrupt end startled many, and it took a long while for them to recover.

After a moment, many people embraced each other, weeping; even the toughest of men couldn’t help shedding tears, overwhelmed with emotion because the nightmare was finally over.

Yet, the next moment, there was endless grief. Although the most terrifying Demon Beast upheaval in history had ended, the battle had still exacted an unimaginable toll.

No fewer than two hundred thousand lives were lost on this battlefield. Countless people were left here forever, countless families grieved, husbands gone, beloved children perished, fathers never returned. For a long period in the future, Xiafeng Country would be enveloped in sorrow.

After the Silver Ape King left, both Heavenly Divine Realm beings instantly turned their gaze to Ye Chen. It was due to Ye Chen’s actions that this most horrific upheaval had ended, and it seemed Hongtian Great Saint held some special regard for Ye Chen.

This made others quite curious about why this was so.

Although they knew it was Ye Chen’s secret, not meant to be casually inquired about, both Heavenly Divine Realm beings still swallowed hard, unable to help themselves from asking, "Young friend Ye Chen, what exactly happened here, can you let us know?"

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "All this, it can only be said to be because of my master."

Ye Chen’s teacher?

The two strongest in the kingdom exchanged glances. Although they had long known that Ye Chen had a teacher, they originally thought he was just an ordinary cultivator, possibly at most in the Martial God Realm. But now, it seemed they had greatly underestimated Ye Chen’s master, whose origins were extraordinary, inciting considerable dread.

Furthermore, according to Ye Chen, it seemed the end of the demon beast chaos was also due to his master’s influence.

Could it be that Ye Chen’s young friend’s teacher is also a... Divine Being!?

The thought made the two Heavenly Divine Realm Experts shudder in awe, too terrified to ask more. All they needed to know was that the demon beast chaos had ended.

This most terrifying demon beast chaos in history had come quickly and abated as fast. In truth, it lasted only a day before it suddenly drew to a close.

Yet, merely in one day’s time, over two hundred thousand lives were lost, a toll that left everyone heartbroken.

As the battle ended, and the battlefield was cleared and the fallen comrades’ bones collected, the assembled armies were gradually disbanded, sent back to their respective territories to continue their duty, protecting the homeland.

On the walls of Demon Suppression City, many gazed deeply into the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, their expressions filled with sighs, and even more with silence, as if venerating the presence of the strongest Divine Being in the universe.

Nearly all were filled with reverence, none had imagined that one of the most supreme Divine Beings was lurking deep in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, almost as if one could still sense the insurmountable Divine Power flowing from the Divine Being, making even the Heavenly Divine Realm Experts feel subservient.

The elite students of the Heavenly Level Academy, in particular, were brimming with fervor.

While becoming a Heavenly God was certainly their pursuit, they now faced an even more ambitious and elusive goal — Divine Being.

Though they knew becoming a Divine Being was nearly impossible — for among the millions of beings across the continent, only a few ascended to such a state — no one could stop them from yearning or pursuing the Divine.

Boom—

Only Crown Prince Xia Yang, with his True Yuan flowing massively, caused even the solid stone beneath him to crack, his eyes sparkling with intense radiance. Then, suddenly, he looked towards Ye Chen, his battle intent surging.

As if challenging Ye Chen, it seemed like a race to see which of them could step into the Divine Domain earlier.

But at this moment, Ye Chen appeared utterly calm and natural. After glancing at the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he turned and serenely walked away, exuding an air of having dismissed matters decisively.

Divine Beings?

Ridiculous, he had slain many in his previous life. Even starting anew in this life, a Divine Spirit Realm would absolutely not be his lifelong goal.

Within ten years, he would certainly achieve the Divine Position.

Behind him, a pair of resentful eyes lingered on the youth, unwilling to shift away. A stunning lady in red noticed this and couldn’t help but sigh softly, "Foolish children, all of them!"

With the end of the demon beast chaos, the affairs of Demon Suppression City had also concluded.

This day, Ye Chen received two letters. One was a family letter from faraway Luofeng City, sent by his parents, stating that although they had been affected by the demon beast chaos, they weren’t in a major town. Only one Innate Demonic Beast had appeared, and it was killed by Ye Ao; everything was fine, and there was no need for him to worry.

The letter overflowed with joy, as they learned of Ye Chen’s actions in Xiafeng Academy, where he displayed the Seven-colored Light before the monument of power, acknowledged as a Divine Being qualifier. Even the Royal Family had sent a special envoy to offer congratulations and lavish gifts, bestowing several towns with good development prospects to the Ye Family, along with a great amount of Gold Coins and treasures.

The entire family viewed their lineage with changed eyes, filled with newfound respect. Even the three elders who usually led opposition had changed their attitude, no longer daring to be haughty, often praising Ye Chen’s astonishing talent and offering obsequious gifts.

Both the Yang Family and Xia Family came forward to offer congratulations. Ye Ao’s lineage had undoubtedly become the undisputed ruler of Luofeng City.

Naturally, there were also the caring words from his mother Xia Wei, asking if Ye Chen was eating well and living comfortably, leaving him somewhat at a loss for a response but feeling deeply his mother’s care — only those most concerned about him would ask such things.

Lastly, there was a line of graceful handwriting causing Ye Chen to touch his nose, as it was Ye Zimei’s writing. It contained just a few caring words, wishing him safety on his journey.

As he opened the other letter, it was from Danxin Palace, sent by Li Yun, containing only a few words —

Grand auction, three days from now, begins!
