Slaying a Half Saint

With Ye Hei's guarantee, the Saint Prince could no longer suppress the killing intent surging within him. His form transformed into a golden lightning bolt that tore through the void, charging straight at the Heavenly Emperor's Son.

"Kill him!"

"A mere wild monkey isn't worth my hand."

The Heavenly Emperor's Son, seeing the Saint Prince's demeanor of an all-or-nothing deathmatch, felt a flicker of unease in his heart and immediately ordered his subordinates.

"Kill!"

Among the Eight Divisions Divine Generals, several old monsters at the Half Saint level struck first. Divine energy surged, laws coiled like chains, weaving into a heavenly net that sought to obliterate the Saint Prince outright.

Though the Saint Prince was formidable, his cultivation had yet to break through the Third Heaven of Immortal Severance—the Dao-Severing Realm—so he was naturally no match for Half Saint-level experts.

Yet he showed no fear, still charging straight at the Heavenly Emperor's Son.

Because he knew Ye Hei would clear every obstacle for him.

And sure enough, just as those overwhelming attacks were about to land on the Saint Prince, they suddenly froze in place.

Behind Ye Hei, a radiant bright moon rose, spilling endless silver light as if it had frozen the entire world.

Bathed in moonlight, Ye Hei's body shimmered with brilliance, his three thousand strands of black hair dancing like a supreme god descending.

As the moon turned, all the divine abilities, artifacts, and even the Eight Divisions Divine Generals themselves were crushed as if ground by a Heavenly Dao Millstone, instantly reduced to dust.

Such a shocking sight made all the onlookers draw in a sharp breath.

"Hiss..."

"Has Ye Hei... severed his dao and become a king?"

"Even though Ye Hei is an Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, this rate of improvement is just too fast."

"Word has it that Great Emperor Wushi took only five hundred years to prove his dao and become an emperor."

"At Ye Hei's current trajectory, he might break that record."

The Patriarch of the Feng Family, the Patriarch of the Ji Family, the Holy Master of Yaoguang, and other great cultivators clicked their tongues in amazement, their hearts churning with turbulent waves.

They were stunned not only by Ye Hei's absurd cultivation speed but also by his terrifyingly monstrous combat power.

Having just broken through to the Third Heaven of Immortal Severance, he could effortlessly obliterate Half Saints—it was simply unbelievable.

As for the Heavenly Emperor's Son, seeing that Ye Hei—whom he had once dismissed—had grown to this level, his cultivation even surpassing his own, and with the Eight Divisions Divine Generals instantly slain by Ye Hei, panic flooded his heart.

Just then, the Saint Prince, radiating golden light, closed in. The Black Gold Iron Staff in his hand blazed with brilliance, crashing down like a mountain range.

The Heavenly Emperor's Son raised the Undying Heavenly Blade to parry. Though he blocked the heavy blow, the impact sent him flying off his chariot.

"Heavenly Emperor's Son, today you die without a doubt!"

Empowered by the Fighting Saint Method, the Saint Prince was unmatched in valor. Every hair on his body blazed with dazzling radiance, his aura swallowing the heavens as he launched the fiercest assault on the Heavenly Emperor's Son.

"Hmph, I am an Offspring of Gods. You cannot kill me—only I will kill you!"

The Heavenly Emperor's Son snorted coldly. He had no desire for a deathmatch with the Saint Prince; he only wanted to cut him down.

"Xu Huangdao, Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er—come help me slay him quickly!"

Xu Huangdao, Huo Linzi, and Huo Lin'er exchanged glances. As Imperial Sons, they were reluctant to join the Heavenly Emperor's Son in attacking the Saint Prince.

But the Heavenly Emperor's Son had indeed offered treasures they could not refuse.

Now that he had personally invited them, they could only act according to their prior agreement.

"You dare!"

Ye Hei's eyes sharpened, his gaze like a tangible blade landing on the three of them, making their hearts tremble.

After all, they were still at the peak of the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform, while Ye Hei had already severed his dao and become a king.

As Ancient Imperial Sons, they might be able to challenge other Third Heaven kings across realms—but never Ye Hei.

"Don't mind him!"

"Someone will stop him!"

"Just help me!"

Seeing Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er, and Xu Huangdao hesitate, the Heavenly Emperor's Son urged them on.

Huo Linzi, Huo Lin'er, and Xu Huangdao no longer hesitated. They immediately joined the battle, encircling the Saint Prince.

"You seek death!"

Ye Hei's brows shot up. The full moon behind him rotated, unleashing a terrifying crushing force that swept toward the three Ancient Imperial Sons.

Suddenly, a sharp Sword Qi tore through the void, howling as it struck, directly dispersing that crushing force.

Then, a barbaric, violent, and fearsome aura descended upon the battlefield.

A figure several zhang tall shattered the void as it stepped forth. It bore a pair of twisted, ferocious ox horns on its head, had sky-covering fleshy wings on its back, muscles knotted like dragons across its body, and gripped a massive dark red longsword that exuded a bone-chilling, terrifying presence.

This was a true Ancient King, far beyond the Half Saints from before!

Seeing the Ancient King appear, Dongfang Ye and the others felt their hearts tighten.

Those beneath the Saint realm are all ants.

Even someone as powerful as an Imperial Son could not possibly contend with a Saint immediately after breaking through to the God King Realm.

Moreover, without Ye Hei's interference, no matter how valiant the Saint Prince was, facing the siege of four opponents at the Same Realm, he would inevitably spill blood and fall on the spot.

Ye Hei knew the situation was urgent; he had to slay the Ancient King before him as quickly as possible, or else the Saint Prince was in grave danger.

"Ancient King or not, today I will slaughter a Saint!"

Ye Hei said in a low voice, his blood beginning to surge and boil. The Sea of Suffering, Divine Bridge, Dao Palace, Four Poles—every secret realm resonated, emitting an aura of terrifying might.

"Arrogant nonsense!"

"Do you think you can provoke the might of an Ancient King?"

The Ancient King sneered coldly. Even though Ye Hei possessed the heaven-defying foundation of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, he remained fully confident under the suppression of their respective realms.

"Then let's see!"

Terrifying divine light blazed in Ye Hei's eyes as various visions unfolded behind him, covering the sky and earth.

Then, under the utterly shocked gazes of the crowd, visions like the Chaos Seeded Green Lotus, the Immortal King Descends Upon the Nine Heavens, and the Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram began to merge, forming a chaotic Dao Diagram that drew down the power of the Zhou heavens' Stars to suppress everything!

The Ancient King roared, his blood-colored long saber slashing out fiercely. A sharp blade light tore through the void, colliding with the chaotic Dao Diagram, erupting into terrifying ripples.

Under the spread of those ripples, several mountain ranges nearby shattered into dust.

On the other side, the Saint Prince, facing the siege of four Imperial Sons at once, instantly fell into a disadvantage, his situation growing precarious.

Just as Ye Hei was about to act and relieve the Saint Prince, the void around them suddenly twisted. A plain-looking, very ordinary Young People appeared and slammed a palm into Xu Huangdao.

Caught off guard, Xu Huangdao's divine garment shimmered, absorbing most of the impact, but he was still shaken, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Huo Lin'er and Huo Linzi were greatly alarmed and attacked Ji Zi together.

Ji Zi had cultivated the Void Divine Art to perfection. Moving through the void, he evaded their strike, then smashed a Stele-Shattering Hand into Huo Linzi, nearly sending him flying.
