After receiving Ye Hei's assurance, Saint Prince could no longer restrain his killing intent. His figure transformed into a golden bolt of lightning that tore through the sky and shot straight toward Heavenly Emperor's Son.
"Kill him!"
"A mere wild monkey isn't worthy of my hand."
Seeing Saint Prince charge at him as if he wouldn't stop until one of them was dead, Heavenly Emperor's Son felt a little uneasy. He immediately ordered his subordinates to attack.
"Kill!"
Several Half Saint-level old monsters among the Eight Divisions Divine Generals struck first. Their divine power surged, and their laws interwove like chains, forming a net that covered the sky and earth as they sought to wipe out Saint Prince.
Saint Prince was powerful, but his cultivation had yet to break through to Immortal Three, Severing the Dao. Naturally, he was no match for a Half Saint.
But he wasn't afraid. He continued charging straight toward Heavenly Emperor's Son.
He knew Ye Hei would clear every obstacle for him.
Sure enough, just as the overwhelming attacks were about to land on Saint Prince, they suddenly ground to a halt.
A bright full moon rose behind Ye Hei, spilling endless silver light as if it had frozen the entire world in place.
Beneath the moonlight, radiance flowed around Ye Hei, and his three thousand strands of hair fluttered. He looked like a supreme celestial deity.
As the moon turned, every divine ability and artifact unleashed by the Eight Divisions Divine Generals—and the generals themselves—seemed to be crushed by the Heavenly Dao Millstone. In an instant, they were reduced to dust.
The astonishing sight made everyone watching draw in a sharp breath.
"Gasp..."
"Has Ye Hei... Severed the Dao and become a King?"
"Ye Hei may have the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, but this rate of advancement is far too fast."
"It's said that Great Emperor Wushi took only five hundred years to attain the Great Emperor's Dao."
"At the rate Ye Hei is going, I'm afraid he'll break that record."
The mighty figures of the Feng Family, the Ji Family, and Yaoguang all clicked their tongues in amazement, their hearts surging with shock.
They were astonished not only by Ye Hei's absurd cultivation speed but also by his terrifying, world-shaking combat power.
He had only just broken through to Immortal Three, yet he could kill Half Saints with such ease. It was simply unbelievable.
Heavenly Emperor's Son had never taken Ye Hei seriously, but now Ye Hei had grown to such a degree that his cultivation even surpassed his own.
With the Eight Divisions Divine Generals slain in an instant, Heavenly Emperor's Son was thrown into utter panic.
By then, Saint Prince, his body glowing with golden light, had already reached him. The Black Gold Iron Staff in his hands blazed with light as it came crashing down like a mountain range.
Heavenly Emperor's Son raised the Undying Heavenly Blade to block. Though he stopped the mighty blow, its force sent him flying from his carriage.
"Heavenly Emperor's Son, you're as good as dead today!"
With the Fighting Saint Method empowering him, Saint Prince was as fierce as a god of war. Every strand of his fur shone brilliantly, and his presence seemed to swallow ten thousand miles. He launched his fiercest attack against Heavenly Emperor's Son right away.
"Hmph. I am the Offspring of Gods. You can't kill me. I'll be the one to kill you!"
Heavenly Emperor's Son gave a cold snort. He had no desire to fight Saint Prince to the death; he only wanted to kill him.
"Xu Huangdao, Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er, come help me kill him quickly!"
Xu Huangdao, Huo Linzi, and Huo Lin'er exchanged glances. As Imperial Sons, they were unwilling to join Heavenly Emperor's Son in attacking Saint Prince.
But Heavenly Emperor's Son had indeed brought out a treasure they couldn't refuse.
Now that he had called on them, they could only honor their earlier agreement and join the fight.
"How dare you!"
Ye Hei's eyes narrowed. His gaze, sharp as a tangible force, fell on the three of them, making their hearts shudder.
After all, they were still at the peak of the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform, while Ye Hei had already Severed the Dao and become a King.
As Ancient Imperial Sons, they might be able to challenge other Immortal Three Kings across realms, but they could never challenge Ye Hei.
"Don't worry about him!"
"Someone else will stop him!"
"Just help me!"
Seeing Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er, and Xu Huangdao hesitate, Heavenly Emperor's Son urged them at once.
At his words, Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er, and Xu Huangdao stopped hesitating and immediately joined the fight, attacking Saint Prince together.
"You're asking for death!"
Ye Hei's brows drew together. The full moon behind him began to turn, and a terrifying crushing force descended upon the three Ancient Imperial Sons.
Suddenly, a fierce sword energy tore through the void and swept toward them, scattering the crushing force.
Then a terrifying aura, savage and violent, descended upon the battlefield.
A figure several zhang tall stepped through the void. A pair of curved, fearsome ox horns grew from his head, and a pair of enormous wings stretched from his back. His muscles coiled like dragons, and in his hand he gripped a huge, dark red saber that radiated a chilling aura.
This was a true Ancient King, far more powerful than the Half Saints from before!
The appearance of the Ancient King made Dongfang Ye and the others' hearts sink.
Below the Saint realm, all were ants.
Even someone as powerful as an Imperial Son couldn't possibly stand against a Saint immediately after breaking through to the God King Realm.
Besides, without Ye Hei to stop them, no matter how valiant Saint Prince was, facing four disciples of the same realm would surely end with him bleeding out and dying on the spot.
Ye Hei knew things were urgent. He had to kill the Ancient King before him as quickly as possible, or Saint Prince would be in grave danger.
"So what if you're an Ancient King? Today, I'll slay a Saint!"
Ye Hei spoke gravely. The blood in his body began to boil, and his Sea of Suffering, Divine Bridge, Dao Palace, Four Poles, and other secret realms resonated, radiating an incomparably terrifying aura.
"Arrogant fool!"
"How dare you provoke the might of an Ancient King?"
The Ancient King sneered. Even though Ye Hei possessed the heaven-defying Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, the Ancient King remained supremely confident under the pressure of their difference in realms.
"Then let's see!"
Terrifying light blazed in Ye Hei's eyes, and countless visions spread out behind him, blotting out the sky.
Then, to the utter astonishment of everyone present, Chaos Seeded Green Lotus, Immortal King Descends Upon the Nine Heavens, and the Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram began to merge. They formed a Chaos Dao Diagram that drew on the power of the stars throughout the heavens and descended to suppress the Ancient King!
The Ancient King roared and swung his blood-red saber. A fierce blade gleam tore through the void and clashed with the Chaos Dao Diagram, unleashing terrifying shock waves.
The shock waves swept across the area, shattering several nearby mountain ranges and reducing them to dust.
Meanwhile, Saint Prince was facing the attacks of four Imperial Sons at once. He immediately fell onto the back foot, and his situation grew perilous.
Just as Ye Hei was about to help Saint Prince, the space around them suddenly twisted. An unremarkable young man appeared and struck Xu Huangdao with a palm.
Caught off guard, Xu Huangdao's body flashed with divine light. His divine garment neutralized most of the impact, but he still coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Huo Lin'er and Huo Linzi were alarmed and attacked Ji Zi together.
Ji Zi had cultivated the Void Secret Art to perfection. He moved through the void, evading their attack, then smashed a Stele-Shattering Hand into Huo Linzi, nearly sending him flying.
