This figure, towering and commanding, carried an aura of a supreme overlord who dominated the world.
Even the stars of the Endless Star Domain seemed to pale in comparison when beside this figure.
In the blink of an eye, this figure had crossed endless boundaries and appeared above the Nine Suns Ancient Land in Void Heaven.
Upon seeing this figure, the several Sovereigns at the scene, including Protector Zhuge of Divine Dragon Mountain who had just arrived at Nine Suns Ancient Land, exclaimed in shock, "East Territory King!"
This approaching figure was, of course, none other than the East Territory King who had left Ye Chen with a Life-saving Talisman!
East Territory King, oh.
The great eight-star Sovereign powerhouse.
He was also one of the only four Kings in Divine Kingdom!
Everyone had never expected that Ye Chen, the one who killed Qin Feng, could summon the East Territory King.
Moreover, the East Territory King referred to Ye Chen as "Young Friend Ye Chen"!
Just from the East Territory King’s affectionate words toward Ye Chen, one could see that the East Territory King must have an extremely close relationship with Ye Chen!
For a moment, all eyes were on Ye Chen, all focused on the East Territory King.
It was then that these people understood why Ye Chen, who was merely in the True God Realm, still had confidence even when facing the two great Sovereigns of Divine Dragon Mountain.
It turned out that he had the East Territory King as his trump card!
"Ye Chen... he actually knows the senior East Territory King!"
Mu Ling was also trembling with emotion at this time.
She had been worried about Ye Chen’s safety because two Sovereigns from Divine Dragon Mountain had arrived; after all, to protect Ye Chen, she only had the protection of Sovereign Mu Shan by her side, which was no match for the two Sovereigns of Divine Dragon Mountain.
But Mu Ling never anticipated that Ye Chen would suddenly bring in an eight-star Sovereign!
Now, even if Qin Yuntian, the strongest in Divine Dragon Mountain, were to come, they needn’t fear him!
After all, Mu Ling had heard that in Divine Kingdom, not even once had the East Territory King been defeated by anyone!
Not only was Mu Ling astounded, but even Hong Ming and Hong Yi by her side were taken completely by surprise.
The East Territory King was a figure who ranked alongside the Southern Territory King, the foremost figure of the Southern Territory King Mansion to which Hong Ming and Hong Yi belonged. Such a being rarely showed himself in Divine Kingdom, yet he directly descended for Ye Chen’s sake, which naturally shocked Hong Ming and Hong Yi to the point of disbelief!

Yang Yun and Yang Yan, who had been enjoying the spectacle from the side, now wore utterly unsightly expressions.
They had not anticipated that their actions in spreading news and drawing Divine Dragon Mountain to target Ye Chen would result in Ye Chen receiving East Territory King’s assistance; now, it seemed very possible that their schemes against Ye Chen might come to naught.
"This kid really has dog’s luck, actually getting to know the East Territory King!"
"I wonder if Qin Yuntian will swallow this grievance. Divine Dragon Mountain is already at odds with the East Territory King Mansion. If Qin Yuntian insists on confronting the East Territory King, together with his few Sovereigns, it might not be impossible to kill Ye Chen!"
Yang Yun and Yang Yan were turning these thoughts over in their minds.
At this moment, the ones with the most awkward expressions were the two Sovereigns from Divine Dragon Mountain, Protector Zhuge and Elder He.
Although Divine Dragon Mountain was at odds with the East Territory King Mansion, in the face of the East Territory King, both Protector Zhuge and Elder He dared not show the slightest disrespect.
After all, between each level of the Sovereign Realm lies an immeasurable chasm, even greater than the difference between major realms such as God King and Venerable. The strength of the East Territory King was such that he could kill them with a single finger, so naturally, they dared not provoke such an existence as the East Territory King!
"Senior East Territory King!"
Protector Zhuge and Elder He were obliged to bow respectfully to the East Territory King.
However, after bowed, Protector Zhuge and Elder He remembered the orders of their sect leader, and still had to toughen up and ask, "We wonder what relationship senior East Territory King has with this Ye Chen. This Ye Chen has killed people of our Divine Dragon Mountain, and our sect leader has ordered us to capture him. We beseech senior East Territory King to do us a favor."
Upon hearing the words of Protector Zhuge and Elder He, all eyes turned to the East Territory King.
Indeed.
Although the East Territory King had come for Ye Chen’s sake, it was not necessarily the case that he would confront Divine Dragon Mountain outright for Ye Chen.
Everyone wanted to hear what the East Territory King would say.
However, what they saw was the East Territory King looking at Protector Zhuge and Elder He with a jesting gaze, and heard him say, "Do you a favor? That can’t be done!"
"Never mind my personal relationship with Young Friend Ye Chen, if I don’t protect him, that little girl of mine would probably never pay me any mind again!"
"What’s more, I have been entrusted by two nine-star Sovereigns to take good care of Young Friend Ye Chen in Divine Kingdom, how could I let you hurt him?"
Whoosh.
The words of the East Territory King made everyone in the venue, even the several Sovereigns, so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped!

The little girl mentioned by the East Territory King was guessed by many at the scene to be the Little Provincial Princess that the East Territory King doted on the most.
Thinking that the Little Provincial Princess was also connected to Ye Chen, many martial artists felt envious enough to grit their teeth.
Ye Chen had managed to build a relationship with Divine Lady Long Li, the most promising youth of the Divine Kingdom, and now he was also acquainted with the East Territory King’s Little Provincial Princess.
And according to the East Territory King, clearly, the Little Provincial Princess had a considerably deep relationship with Ye Chen!
"This Ye Chen, he even has such good fortune with women!" Yang Yunyang lamented in his heart.
Although both of them had been favored by countless female warriors at the Supreme Divine Institute, none could compare to the likes of the Little Provincial Princess, Long Li!
Yet, the mere True God Realm Ye Chen had more blessings of beauty than they did, making them extremely jealous.
What shocked the crowd the most was the East Territory King’s next statement.
The East Territory King actually mentioned that he had been entrusted by two Nine Stars Sovereign Realm experts in the Divine Kingdom to take good care of Ye Chen!
Two Nine Stars Sovereign Realm experts?!
This Ye Chen, not only did he know the East Territory King, but he also knew Nine Stars Sovereign Realm experts, and not just one, but two?
For the few Sovereign Realms present, such a thing was simply unimaginable!
Of course, they dared not doubt the East Territory King’s words.
Who was the East Territory King? He would certainly not lie to them.
What they didn’t know was that the East Territory King wasn’t mistaken; indeed, outside the underwater divine palace, both Nine Stars Sovereign Realm experts, Mrs. He and Elder Ku Du, had indeed entrusted him with taking good care of Ye Chen.
In the beginning, no one was optimistic about Ye Chen’s chances of escaping alive in the face of Divine Dragon Mountain.
But who could have expected Ye Chen to have such a powerful background!
In the crowd, Nie Ningnin, who had been worried about Ye Chen’s safety, excitedly transmitted a message to City Lord Nie who had flown to her side, "Uncle Ancestor, does this mean Ye Chen will be safe?"
City Lord Nie was also extremely excited, "He should be fine, I had considered that Friend Ye Chen came from no ordinary background, but never expected it to be so significant!"
"Good heavens, he knows the East Territory King, and even Nine Stars Sovereigns. Now, it’s likely that in the entire Divine Kingdom, there won’t be many who would dare to openly target Ye Chen. Even if they wanted to target him, they’d only dare to do so covertly, absolutely not daring to provoke someone of the East Territory King’s standing!"
The East Territory King’s few words powerfully backed Ye Chen.
Clearly indicating that he would never allow Divine Dragon Mountain to harm Ye Chen and that he would definitely protect him!
Just when everyone thought the two Sovereigns of Divine Dragon Mountain would back down in the face of difficulty, suddenly, from the far reaches of the void, thunderous dragon roars could be heard one after another.
Then, everyone saw what seemed to be a giant dragon’s head fiercely biting towards a distant point in the void, and a figure with a presence as formidable as the East Territory King’s appeared above Void Heaven.
Another significant figure had arrived!
Upon seeing this significant figure, both Sovereigns from Divine Dragon Mountain called out in surprise, "Master!"
This figure, wearing a purple Divine Robe and adorned with a Gilded Dragon Crown, was none other than the strongest figure from Divine Dragon Mountain—the Eight Stars Sovereign, Qin Yuntian!
"The leader of Divine Dragon Mountain has actually come!"
"Good gracious, Qin Yuntian, he has actually shown himself here!"
Upon seeing Qin Yuntian’s arrival, the warriors at the scene were completely overwhelmed.
No one had imagined that a dispute would attract one Sovereign after another, culminating in the arrival of both the East Territory King and the leader of Divine Dragon Mountain, two Eight Stars Sovereigns!
Divine Dragon Mountain was one of the four great forces stationed in the Divine Kingdom’s Eastern Territory, always in opposition to the Southern Territory King Mansion. It was clear that Qin Yuntian was acquainted with the East Territory King.
Upon his arrival, he didn’t even glance at his two subordinates but looked directly at the East Territory King, "Fang Kui, we are about to accompany our sovereign and four great force leaders into the ’Splendid Star Sea.’ You should be preparing back at the East Territory King Mansion instead of meddling in the affairs of Divine Dragon Mountain. You’re quite free indeed!"
Fang Kui was the East Territory King’s real name.
Qin Yuntian was quite unreserved, directly addressing the East Territory King by his real name!
The East Territory King looked at Qin Yuntian with a smile, "If Brother Yuntian is going through trouble for a junior, why can’t I be here? As for the ’Splendid Star Sea,’ with our sovereign and the Northern Territory King around, what do I have to worry about?"
As the two Eight Stars Sovereigns conversed, a hush fell over the entire area.
Although others didn’t know what that "Splendid Star Sea" matter was, who would dare to interject when two Eight Stars Sovereigns were speaking?
Even the few Sovereigns present all bowed their heads in silence, quietly listening to the conversation of these two powerful beings.
In the crowd, only Xiaojiu, hidden in the ice jade pendant on Ye Chen, stirred slightly at the mention of the "Splendid Star Sea."
Xiaojiu murmured to himself, "The ’Splendid Star Sea’ is about to open again? Could it be that the power divisions of the countless star realms in this universe are starting anew?"
"If that’s the case, the competition among the geniuses of the Endless Star Domain is about to begin..."
While Xiaojiu contemplated, Qin Yuntian’s gaze swept directly toward Ye Chen, "Brother Fang Kui, do you think that just by coming here alone, you can stop me and my two Sovereigns from joining forces to kill this youngster?"
"I wasn’t necessarily intent on killing him, but since you want to get involved, I’ve become rather eager to see if I can actually kill him!"
At Qin Yuntian’s words, the East Territory King just smiled lightly, "Then, Brother Yuntian, feel free to make your move!"
The two Eight Stars Sovereigns exchanged words casually, yet there was a clear clash of wills between them.
Everyone could see that there was discord between Divine Dragon Mountain and the East Territory King Mansion. The killing of Qin Feng was just a pretext; now, it had turned into a confrontation between Qin Yuntian and the East Territory King!
