"Go ahead and strike? Fine!"
Seeing the East Territory King’s carefree demeanor, Qin Yuntian also laughed heartily, "The last time I fought with Brother Fang Kui at ’Xueyue Mountain,’ I was half a move short of victory. Tens of thousands of years have passed since then. I am curious to see how much Brother Fang Kui has improved in this time!"
As he spoke, divine light began to surge around Qin Yuntian’s body, within which countless divine dragons seemed to roar and tumble!
As divine light swirled around Qin Yuntian, he further instructed the two Sovereigns under his command, Elder He of the four-star Sovereign Realm and Protector Zhuge of the six-star Sovereign Realm, "I will handle Brother Fang Kui. You two, kill that kid for me!"
"Yes, master!" Hearing Qin Yuntian’s command, divine power also began to surge wildly around Protector Zhuge and Elder He.
Qin Yuntian’s battle with the East Territory King was to determine the higher standing between them, which would be decided by whether they could kill Ye Chen and whether the East Territory King could protect Ye Chen.
At this moment, the three were clearly intent on making a lethal move against Ye Chen!
The East Territory King didn’t even spare a glance at the divine power surging around Protector Zhuge and Elder He.
However, seeing the astonishing divine light around Qin Yuntian, the East Territory King narrowed his eyes.
"It seems, Brother Yuntian, that your ’Starry Nebula Divine Dragon Art’ has made a breakthrough, no wonder you have such confidence."
"But do you truly think that the three of you together can stop me from protecting my young friend Ye Chen?"
"Let’s try then!"
Boom!
As he spoke, the East Territory King suddenly swept his sleeve, and boundless starlight burst forth from him, within which seemed to swirl endless black holes!
This technique was none other than the East Territory King’s immensely powerful Jitian Shen Technique, the ’Black God Prison Skills.’
The Black God Prison Skills, with starry black hole prisons, could suppress thousands of Divine Venerables and Sovereigns!
In the past, it was with this technique that the East Territory King had resoundingly defeated Qin Yuntian, who was of an eight-star Sovereign Realm. Now, facing the combined attack of three great Sovereigns from Divine Dragon Mountain, the East Territory King once again deployed this move.
The East Territory King showed no fear in facing the three alone.
Four Sovereigns, including two at the eight-star level, unleashed their divine power, causing a vast aura to surge through heaven and earth, growing increasingly intense.
Just the release of energy alone was blinding and engulfing the sky.
If a real battle ensued, it could easily annihilate the entire region and the surrounding Star Continent!
Such a high-level battle, even before it started, the mere release of energy was enough to horrify millions of warriors present.
Even the lower-ranked Sovereigns from various forces who had come to the scene were too stunned to breathe.
At this moment, Ye Chen, watching the two eight-star Sovereign powerhouses, the East Territory King and Qin Yuntian, who stood proudly above the void as if they were the absolute center of the world, had his eyes dazzling with excitement!
This is the power of a Sovereign!
This is what it looks like to be an unrivaled mighty force among Sovereign Realm powerhouses, a paramount figure in the Divine Kingdom!
"When will I ever be like this?!"
Even as a battle that could turn out to be the most dangerous moment of his life due to him was about to unfold, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel his heart surge with emotion.
Ye Chen believed that since the East Territory King said he could protect him, he would surely do it!
Now, although Ye Chen still needed the protection of the East Territory King, witnessing the divine might of this Sovereign Realm powerhouse, he also made a vow in his heart.
In the future, he would definitely become as strong as the East Territory King!
In the future, when faced with an opponent like Qin Yuntian, he would no longer hide behind the East Territory King!
He wanted to be truly strong, truly capable of confronting any enemy!
As a great battle was about to erupt, Sovereign Zhao Kuo from the Southern Territory King Mansion found himself forced to speak out, hardening his complexion in urgency.
"Elder East Territory King, Elder Qin Yuntian."
Sovereign Zhao Kuo addressed the two main forces saying, "The two of you, being eight-star Sovereign powerhouses, together with Zhuge and He, if you were to fight here, not only the Nine Suns Ancient Land but also its surrounding areas of hundreds of millions of miles would likely not withstand it."
"The destruction of this region is not a major issue, but I ask the two of you to please allow the others to leave first."
Sovereigns are set to clash.
One can imagine how terrifying the scene would be. Experience more content on freewebnovel
Divine Venerables can already pierce through ordinary continents of the Star Continent, let alone the existence of Sovereigns that far surpass Divine Venerables.
True battles involving individuals like the East Territory King and Qin Yuntian are usually fought in uninhabited wastelands suitable for battle within the Divine Kingdom.
If they were to clash in a densely populated region, it would not just be one Star Continent that would be destroyed, but hundreds and thousands could be annihilated with ease!
Upon hearing Zhao Kuo’s words, the East Territory King in the sky smiled softly and nodded, then looked towards Qin Yuntian, "Brother Yuntian, this place indeed isn’t suitable for our fight. Otherwise, destroying this land, I’m afraid the Southern Territory King would have objections."
"Why don’t we find a suitable place to fight and have a satisfying battle?"
"Hmph, this place is indeed not suitable for us to battle," Qin Yuntian responded upon hearing the name of the Southern Territory King, his expression shifting as he nodded.
```
Following that, he continued, "However, our battle arose because of this young man. Others may stay here, but this young man must come with us to the battlefield!"
"I want to see, Fang Kui, if you can ultimately protect this youngster!" he said while pointing directly at Ye Chen, his voice ringing out.

As the four Sovereigns from both sides were about to clash, everyone present was already shocked to their core. At this moment, when Qin Yuntian pointed at Ye Chen, all eyes again swiftly turned towards Ye Chen.
At this time, everyone remembered that it was because of this youth that the looming battle between the two forces had been incited!
"If one day, I could have Sovereign-level powerhouses battle on my behalf, I would die with no regrets!" countless warriors sighed to themselves.
However, whilst feeling this awe, the warriors also worried about Ye Chen.
After all, Ye Chen was only of the True God Realm. If he were to be taken to where the Sovereigns battled, the odds were likely not in his favor.
At this moment, those most concerned for Ye Chen—Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Lin Xiaowan, Nie Ningning, Lord Niecheng, and others—were extremely anxious.
They hadn’t expected that the East Territory King would come, and that Qin Yuntian would indeed arrive as well.
Despite the protection of the East Territory King, a battle of this level did not guarantee Ye Chen’s safety—it wasn’t impossible for danger to befall him.
A moment’s inattention could very likely result in Ye Chen’s death at the hands of a Sovereign from Divine Dragon Mountain.
How could they not worry?
Unable to contain herself, Mu Ling turned to her escort to the Nine Suns Ancient Land, Mu Shan, and implored, "Uncle Mu Shan, please also go with them. Help Ye Chen as much as you can!"
"Regarding this matter, I will inform my grandfather, and he’s certain to agree to assist Ye Chen!"
Mu Ling’s grandfather was the current steward of Mu King Mansion.
Hearing Mu Ling’s words, Mu Shan’s gaze flickered momentarily.
If before, owing to Ye Chen’s ties to Mu Ling and Mu Xiao, and a slight connection to the old Territory King, Mu Shan would not have dared to decide.
But now, with even the East Territory King backing Ye Chen, Mu Shan knew that Ye Chen truly had exceptional potential and was worth looking after.
After a brief hesitation, Mu Shan stepped forward, addressing the East Territory King above the void, "Divine Dragon Mountain has three Sovereigns, whom the East Territory King says he can withstand; Mu Shan believes him. Nevertheless, I wish to follow and protect our friend Ye Chen as best as I can!"
Whoosh.
Mu Shan’s declaration sent a ripple of surprise and shock through the other warriors present.
They hadn’t expected that, at such a critical juncture, Mu Shan of Mu King Mansion would take a stand!
Clearly, with the appearance of the East Territory King, Mu Shan was now daring to openly oppose Divine Dragon Mountain!
After Mu Shan took a stand, a voice suddenly echoed in the mind of Zhao Kuo, the Sovereign from the Southern Territory King Mansion, causing him to startle.
"Territory King!" Zhao Kuo exclaimed internally.
The voice in his mind was none other than that of the Southern Territory King.
The Southern Territory King had instructed him to follow Mu Shan and protect Ye Chen, offering assistance to Mu Shan as well!
Zhao Kuo had not anticipated that the situation here would attract the attention of the Southern Territory King.
Although the Southern Territory King did not appear in person, likely due to the influence of Divine Dragon Mountain, making it inconvenient for him to directly intervene, Zhao Kuo would not dare ignore the Territory King’s order.
Swish!
Despite his immense fear of Qin Yuntian, Zhao Kuo stepped forward as well, saying, "Mu King Mansion is closely aligned with our Southern Territory King Mansion. Since Mu Shan wishes to fight, I shall join the battle too!"
"Of course, I speak only for myself, not for the Southern Territory King Mansion!"
Boom!
What was initially a three-on-one situation from Divine Dragon Mountain had unexpectedly been joined by Mu Shan, the Sovereign from Mu King Mansion, and Zhao Kuo, the Sovereign from Southern Territory King Mansion, aligning with the East Territory King’s side.
Suddenly, the scene shifted to three against three, with six great Sovereigns ready to engage in a grand battle!
This development left the hundreds of thousands of warriors outside stupefied, uncertain of what this standoff between Sovereigns would lead to.
All they knew was that their visit to the Nine Suns Ancient Land might witness a grand situation rarely seen even in Divine Kingdom!
At this point, seeing Mu Shan and Zhao Kuo stand up one after the other, Qin Yuntian furrowed his brows only to relax them again, before loudly proclaiming, "Good, if Mu King Mansion and Southern Territory King Mansion want to join in, then I want to see which three can have the last laugh in our three-on-three battle!"
By this time, the only ones not having declared their stance were from the "Tai Yun Heaven"—"Sovereign Fei Yuan" and from "Danxia Valley"—"Dong Mei Sovereign," representatives of the four major forces.
Both Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing were secretly hoping that Dong Mei Sovereign would also stand up for Ye Chen, while Yang Yunyang Yan was urging "Sovereign Fei Yuan" to take action.
However, these two four-star Sovereigns, faced with the tense standoff, especially against the leading two eight-star Sovereigns, were not willing to wade into these troubled waters and stayed quietly aside, waiting to see how the situation would unfold.
At this moment, Qin Yuntian was becoming somewhat restless, and with a grand gesture to the space below, his voice boomed across the landscape, "Enough, since the Sovereigns from both sides ready for battle have stepped forward, let’s not hesitate any longer and decide the victor now!"
"I don’t want others to say that Divine Dragon Mountain struggled to kill a True God and took half a day to do it!"
Amidst his taunting, Qin Yuntian appeared eager for the impending grand battle to commence.
