CHAPTER 986: CHAPTER 898: THREATENING THE NINE HEAVENLY KINGS

"What happened here?"

The Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings changed their expressions one after another, looking at both sides, but mostly at Ye Chen, because there was a certain agreement between both parties.

Thus, to a certain extent, they leaned more towards Ye Chen rather than the Ancient Divine Palace.

The Sun God and all the True Kings each had divine radiance flashing in their eyes, because the current state of the Combat Saint King was absolutely powerful like when he fought the Blood Robe Heavenly King. The chaos ancient energy surged, and his aura was earth-shattering, so extraordinary that it left them with no power to resist.

Is this the trump card of the Combat Saint King?

Before Ye Chen could speak, Elder Xuan of Tianmei spoke. His expression was very pale because Ye Chen had once shattered him to pieces, and he was filled with murderous intent, saying, "The Combat Saint King is arrogant and intends to fully control this Great Power Level ancient ship and threatens us. If we don’t hand over the control of the ship, he will cause destruction and kill us."

"What!?"

Many people changed color, looking at the Combat Saint King in astonishment, was he really so bold?

But all the True Kings remained unchanged in their expressions and looked towards Ye Chen, as did the Nine Great Heavenly Kings.

Ye Chen gave a cold laugh, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Crying thief to catch a thief, clearly it’s you four old scoundrels who invited me into the Great Heroic Palace, wanting to snatch back the Mythical Crown. You’ve been using me all along to come to the Ancient Emperor Continent. As for saying I want to kill you four, although I don’t want to say it, I must ask if your brains got stuck in a door. Why would I be so stupid to fight you one-on-one when I could have brought others for a group battle? Could you please fabricate a lie that uses your brains next time?"

With one sentence, he directly enraged the Four Heavenly Kings of Elder Xuan, causing them to fume with fury. Although they had profound cultivation and creation skills, they were mostly focused on cultivation and were in a place as transcendent as the Ancient Divine Palace. How could they match the worldly-experienced Ye Chen in cursing?

With scornful ridicule leaving no place for dignity, anyone could understand this time it was the Four Heavenly Kings of Elder Xuan trying to frame the Combat Saint King.

Ye Chen looked at the Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings and said, "Gentlemen, it’s time for you to act, no need to kill them, just suppress them."

The Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings also breathed a slight sigh of relief, as they didn’t want to completely oppose the Ancient Divine Palace, they surged forward together saying, "Gentlemen, our apologies."

But the Four Heavenly Kings of Elder Xuan did not move at all, especially the First Profound Elder who coldly shouted, "Do not want your clansmen to die, stop immediately."

The Nine Great Heavenly Kings’ bodies stiffened instantly, then realized something, looking at the Four Heavenly Kings in extreme anger, "Bastard, what have you done?"

The First Profound Elder smirked coldly, producing a crystalline blood-colored pearl in his hand, inside which countless shadows flickered.

However, the Heavenly King of the Liuxia Dynasty’s expression changed drastically because he recognized the shadows inside the pearl as those of the Liuxia Dynasty, from the current emperor to descendants, a total of hundreds of direct royal family members, all swirling inside the pearl.

"This is the Blood Soul Pearl, containing a strand of the primordial spirit imprint of all the Liuxia Dynasty’s direct royal family. Liuxia Heavenly King, if you dare to take action, don’t blame the old man for carelessly crushing it, which would kill all members of the Liuxia Dynasty’s royal family."

"What!?" Everyone aboard the ship’s expressions drastically changed, especially the Liuxia Heavenly King, who was furious beyond belief.

Even though he had been a king for many years, he had nurtured the imperial dynasty himself, comprising his direct descendants who continue the dynasty’s glory. He couldn’t abandon them, angrily looking at the First Profound Elder, "What do you want?"

The First Profound Elder did not answer him but instead took out eight more pearls, all containing the primordial spirit imprints of other imperial dynasty’s royal family members.

This move directly caused all the Nine Great Heavenly Kings to change color, looking pale with shock and anger at the Four Heavenly Kings of Elder Xuan, never imagining that they could be so ruthless, without detecting their methods or knowing when they did it.

The Heavenly Elder of the Ancient Divine Palace sneered, saying, "The primordial spirit imprints of the direct members of all Nine Great Emperor Dynasties are in our hands, so you should be careful, otherwise, just the old man’s accidental crush of one would lead to the extermination of an entire dynasty."

This made the Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings’ faces very ugly, as the Ancient Divine Palace was threatening them.

Although filled with anger, they dared not act rashly because their opponent’s methods were too vicious, and even other great beings never imagined the Ancient Divine Palace, the undoubted sovereign and overlord of the Ancient God Continent, would resort to such lowly despicable methods.

Seeing the sly smile from the Four Heavenly Kings of the Ancient Divine Palace directed at him, Ye Chen’s heart sank even further.

"Now, I order you to immediately kill the Combat Saint King or all your Nine Great Emperor Dynasties’ direct descendants will die, the Nine Great Emperor Dynasties will be annihilated by my Ancient Divine Palace."

Tianmei Xuan ordered the Nine Heavenly Kings to kill Ye Chen.

A threat, a brazen naked threat!

Everyone’s faces changed color, including the other Immortal True Kings.

The Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings hesitated a bit looking at Ye Chen, having made special agreements with him, and their resentment and killing intent were more directed at the Ancient Divine Palace, but the opponent had them by the throat, leaving them resentful but helpless.

They had the numerical advantage; on an ordinary day, they might have been able to overpower the four to intimidate them. But on this Great Power Level ancient divine ship, which was an unstable factor, it might harbor a Great Power Level defense array allowing the Four Heavenly Kings of Elder Xuan to block the Nine Great Emperor Dynasty Kings.

"Such a despicable Ancient Divine Palace!" Ye Chen was also furious, never expecting the opponent to be so shameless and despicable, coercing the Nine Great Ancient Emperor Dynasties.

Tianmei Xuan glanced at the Nine Great Heavenly Kings, holding an Imperial Blood Soul Pearl, snorting coldly, "Why haven’t you acted? Do you all want the dynasty’s destruction?"

"You—" Each and every Emperor Dynasty King was furious yet powerless, rushing at Ye Chen, some with helpless transmission, "Combat Saint King, our apologies."

Ye Chen didn’t blame them, knowing they were forced. He was even more furious at the shamelessness of the Ancient Divine Palace, but also deeply apprehensive.

That’s it, that’s it, after all, there’s no invincible external power, only invincible oneself.

Ye Chen didn’t respond, nor foolishly fight back, directly turned around to leave, using his fastest movement technique to escape into the sky.

"Trying to escape, it won’t be that easy." The Heavenly King of the Ancient Divine Palace sneered, actually commanding the Great Power Level ancient ship, with patches of Dao Mark Divine Patterns emerging, swiftly multiplying in speed, pursuing the Combat Saint King.
