"Ye Chen is here, how will you kill me?" Chu Xianzi sneered.

"Don't forget," Zai said fiercely. "Back then, I set a prohibition on you. As long as I have a thought, you'll die and perish!"

"Ha, finally admitting it?" Chu Xianzi sneered repeatedly, not fearing the threat at all.

"Chu Xianzi is telling the truth!"

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar, not expecting the situation to be like this.

Chu Xianzi and Zai had an engagement, but it turned out she was coerced by him, with a life and death prohibition set.

"Damn, this Zai is such a pretender. With all the tears and snot, I believed him!"

"Zai is so bad. If it weren't for Ye Chen, Chu Xianzi would be doomed!"

"Damn it, twisting the truth and gaining sympathy. If only I could beat you, I'd slap you to death!"

"Ye Chen, this Zai is such a bastard, quickly kill him!"

In an instant, countless people cursed Zai. If he wasn't so dangerous, many would have already taught this bastard a lesson.

"Oh no!"

Zai realized he had lost his composure and secretly cursed in his heart.

However, words once spoken cannot be taken back.

"Zai, our matters are clear now, what right do you have to accuse Ye Chen?" Chu Xianzi said. "Moreover, Ye Chen has no ill intentions towards me, it was I who pursued him. What reason do you have to blame him?"

"What the hell!"

Chu Xianzi's bold statement caused many to exclaim in surprise.

"Chu Xianzi is a formidable King, stronger than the average Great Saint, to have her pursuing Ye Chen... such fortune!"

Chu Xianzi is very famous across worlds, a divine woman beyond reach, not to be desecrated.

However, this legendary female Saint actually took the initiative to pursue Ye Chen. This leaves many envious.

"Do you really want to die?" Zai looked at Chu Xianzi coldly.

Chu Xianzi's provocative words exposed him, drawing criticism from everyone.

Now, Chu Xianzi's continued provocation further fueled Zai's murderous intent.

"Ha, try killing me and see if Ye Chen doesn't kill you!" Chu Xianzi said fearlessly.

"Bastard!" Zai roared. "I can kill you with a single thought, even Ye Chen can't protect you!"

"Hmph." Chu Xianzi was very smug, not taking Zai's threats seriously at all.

"Kill!"

Sure enough, Zai struck out in rage, triggering the life and death prohibition, intending to kill Chu Xianzi.

"You idiot!" Chu Xianzi was unaffected, and her face was full of disdain. "After I was with Ye Chen, I've already revealed everything to him. The prohibition you placed on me has long been undone!"

"..."

Zai was truly about to become an idiot. Chu Xianzi's sharp words threw him into disarray.

"Alright," Ye Chen spoke up. "Zai, are you willing to submit?"

"Chu Xianzi, you are my sacred furnace, no one can touch you. Since you've betrayed me, there's no reason for you to exist!"

At this moment, Zai's huge body trembled, causing some stars to shake.

"Has Zai gone mad, even killing his fiancée!"

Zai attacked, not targeting Ye Chen but intending to kill Chu Xianzi, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat.

"Zai was already insane, Chu Xianzi was never his fiancée, just a furnace he raised!" someone sneered.

By now, Zai's evil deeds had been exposed, and everyone knew his intentions, so this behavior wasn't surprising.

"Ye Chen is attacking!"

Zai's massive body pressed forward, crushing endless stars, intending to kill Chu Xianzi.

But Ye Chen took a step forward, standing in front of Chu Xianzi, shielding her from the disaster.

"I wanted to kill you earlier, but I didn't have the momentum. Now that you're attacking ruthlessly... it gives me just the reason!" Ye Chen said.

"Die!"

Zai's eyes were blood red, having forgotten everything else, only wanting to kill Chu Xianzi.

This woman betrayed him, so she deserved to die!

"Boom!"

Zai's massive body pressed forward, Ye Chen clenched his right fist and struck powerfully, detonating endless stars.

"No!"

Facing the breath of death, Zai finally realized fear, but it was too late.

"Rumble!"

The Heavenly Emperor Fist was like a meteor, crashing heavily onto Zai's body, causing his form to disintegrate and turning into a storm sweeping beyond the heavens.

"Zai is dead!"

Every epic present witnessed this scene, their hearts heavy with an indescribable feeling.

They were born formidable, ferocious demons, having grown impossibly powerful, immortal through the ages.

Yet, a malevolent entity like Zai was felled by Ye Chen with a single punch, the impact was immense!

"Is this the power of True Yang?"

Xiahou Chun cultivated 2,500 paths, nearing True Yang, now witnessing Ye Chen's divine power, he longed for that realm even more.

"Are you willing to submit?"

After felling Zai with a punch, Ye Chen looked towards Desolation and Man Qiu.

Zai, Desolation, Hollow, Man Qiu, and Ye Chen had long been at odds. Now that Hollow and Zai had been slain by Ye Chen, only Desolation and Man Qiu remained.

"If we don't submit, will you kill us?" Man Qiu said bitterly.

"Yes!" Ye Chen answered bluntly. "All of you are major evil figures of epic level. If I let you go, it would be releasing a tiger back to the mountain. I'm not that foolish!"

"We are all of the epic level. If we join the heavenly court, will you grant us..."

Seeing the tide turn, Desolation attempted to negotiate terms with Ye Chen.

But before Desolation could finish, Ye Chen interrupted.

"I'm the Heavenly Emperor, are you the Heavenly Emperor?" Ye Chen said. "If you decide to submit, you must follow my arrangements. Don't think of negotiating terms with me, I won't agree to anything."

"..."

Man Qiu and Desolation exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of despair.

They were epic-level evil figures, on the verge of becoming thousand-path powerhouses, yet in front of Ye Chen, they felt as weak as chicks, without even the qualification to negotiate.

"We are willing to submit, to follow the Heavenly Emperor and wage war across the lands!"

Ye Chen had already consolidated great momentum, which no one could reverse. Man Qiu and Desolation had no choice but to submit.

After all, Hollow and Zai were lessons learned. If they continued to resist, they might incite Ye Chen's ire and meet the same fate.

In the end, under everyone's watchful eyes, Man Qiu and Desolation joined the heavenly court, adding more powerful generals under Ye Chen's command.

"Ye Chen's momentum is unstoppable now!"

Powerful beings across worlds witnessed this scene, all feeling a heartfelt admiration.

Today's grand banquet only established one person's prominence, and that was Ye Chen!

"Ye Chen establishes the heavenly court, appoints deities, why hasn't he integrated the Dragon's Vein?" Zhenyang Heavenly Child and others wondered.

The Dragon's Vein is a mystical creation, capable of aiding in transformation and elevation. They had long coveted it, but couldn't possess it. Moreover, the Dragon's Vein chose Ye Chen, and no one could interfere, even the Supreme Saints couldn't!

However, Ye Chen's series of grand actions seem to have overlooked the Dragon's Vein, puzzling Zhenyang Heavenly Child and others.

What exactly is this guy up to?
