CHAPTER 1183: CHAPTER 1122: EXECUTION

"Is this the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile?"

After a dizzying teleportation, when Ye Chen’s Divine Sense cleared again, what appeared before him was the same vast sea.

However, unlike the azure blue waters of the Outer Sea, the waters of the Inner Sea appeared deep black, resembling a devouring black hole, stretching endlessly.

Just from the appearance of the water, it was evident that the Inner Sea and Outer Sea were completely different.

Looking into the distance, one could frequently see terrifying storms appearing over the sea.

The Inner Sea, at first glance, was not as peaceful as the Outer Sea.

Upon reaching the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile, Xiang Zuoyuan visibly became much more excited.

He looked at Ye Chen and the others, and spoke: "This Inner Sea is extremely perilous. Follow me closely, and I will guide you safely to where my lord resides."

The crowd, hearing Xiang Zuoyuan’s words, gave no response.

Many looked ashen-faced, devoid of any spirit.

After all, this was a death mission. They knew that upon reaching Zhulong’s Heavenly Dragon Mountain, at the moment of Treasure Refining, it would mark their demise.

In such a situation, they were naturally not as excited as Xiang Zuoyuan.

"Keep up!"

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Xiang Zuoyuan frowned.

"What, do you still want to escape?!"

Seeing a Sovereign dawdling, Xiang Zuoyuan suddenly lashed out with Divine Power, striking the Sovereign fiercely into the sea below, then swept him back with Divine Power, leaving the Sovereign covered in blood, even spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Xiang Zuoyuan didn’t care at all, and even harshly reprimanded the Sovereign.

This Sovereign was a Seven Star Sovereign, but had no power to resist in front of Xiang Zuoyuan.

"If you’re slow again and hinder my lord’s Treasure Refining, don’t blame me for taking it out on your family!"

"Move faster for me!"

After reprimanding that Sovereign, Xiang Zuoyuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the others, and similarly scolded them.

At this moment, those captured by Xiang Zuoyuan hurriedly followed.

Ye Chen saw the empty sea around him, and then saw the beaten Sovereign, but walked slowly behind.

"Hmm?"

Seeing someone dared to dawdle after his reprimand, Xiang Zuoyuan’s anger surged to his head.

Seeing that Ye Chen was merely an Immortal Divine Venerable, Xiang Zuoyuan was even more furious.

"You, an Immortal Divine Venerable, dare to dawdle here for me!"

"What I said, are you deaf and didn’t hear?!"

He rolled his hand, forming a terrifying Whip of Divine Power, lashing it fiercely at Ye Chen.

The Divine Power surging on the whip was even more terrifying than what had struck the Seven Star Sovereign before.

Seeing Xiang Zuoyuan’s look, it seemed he wanted to beat Ye Chen to death to scare the others!

Xiang Zuoyuan also had a few substitutes with him and didn’t seem to worry about lacking numbers!

Seeing the terrifying Whip of Divine Power with its extremely violent Killing Force lashing at Ye Chen, many Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings called out in shock.

At this moment, something happened that shocked these Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings to the extreme.

They saw that the seemingly young Immortal Divine Venerable, who had no presence in the group, merely smiled softly and flicked a finger, dissolving the terrifying Killing Force of the Whip of Divine Power into the Void!

The Whip of Divine Power that even a Seven Star Sovereign could not withstand was easily shattered by this small Immortal Divine Venerable!

This situation shocked the Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings to the extreme.

Many even had an inexplicable thought rise in their hearts.

Could it be, that this death mission might turn into a chance for survival?

But as soon as this thought arose, they didn’t believe it themselves.

After all, the gap between this Immortal Divine Venerable and Xiang Zuoyuan, a Fifth Realm Divine Master, was simply too great. They had never heard of an Immortal Divine Venerable resisting a Divine Master!

Even though this Immortal Divine Venerable had shattered Xiang Zuoyuan’s Whip of Divine Power earlier, it was clear Xiang Zuoyuan hadn’t exerted his full strength at that time.

Probably, if he killed with all his might, the Divine Might of a Divine Master could completely obliterate this Immortal Divine Venerable, reducing him to ashes!

As these people were lost in thought,

when Xiang Zuoyuan saw his Whip of Divine Power shattered, his face changed, and his anger grew fiercer.

With countless eyes gathering on him, Ye Chen casually stretched his arms, looked at the vast Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile, and said calmly: "Finally, we’ve reached the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile."

"Following this group to the Inner Sea saved a lot of trouble."

Ye Chen’s words made the hearts of the captured Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings leap.

"This Immortal Divine Venerable was deliberately captured? He just wanted to come to the Inner Sea?!"

"Could it be, he truly can handle Xiang Zuoyuan, this Divine Master Lord?!"

Feeling this possibility growing, those who were previously hopeless now felt an inexplicable ecstasy rising from their hearts.

Ye Chen’s subsequent words completely delighted these people.

After speaking to himself, Ye Chen directly looked at Xiang Zuoyuan, and without waiting for him to speak, Ye Chen said calmly: "Divine Master? Can you casually capture people to die?"

"Xiang Zuoyuan, will you take your own life, or do I need to act?"

Ye Chen directly pressured Xiang Zuoyuan!

From Ye Chen’s words, the nearby Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings could clearly feel that Ye Chen completely disregarded Xiang Zuoyuan, the Divine Master!

"Take my own life?"

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Xiang Zuoyuan felt an inexplicable chill run through his body.

It seemed that this young man before him truly could exert immense pressure on him.

However, the Divine Master’s might made Xiang Zuoyuan unwilling to believe that this small Immortal Divine Venerable before him could kill him.

This inexplicable provocation further incited Xiang Zuoyuan’s murderous intent.

He stared at Ye Chen and said coldly, "An insignificant Immortal Divine Venerable, what audacity!"

"You truly don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"In that case, let me show you the true might of a Divine Master!"

Boom!

As Xiang Zuoyuan spoke, the divine power from his body soared into the sky, making him akin to a giant beast that could swallow the heavens, standing tall over the vast ocean. The unparalleled killing force rolled towards Ye Chen like a tempest.

The mere oscillation of divine power sent the surrounding Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings flying, and caused giant waves to surge over the ocean below.

At the very center of the amassed divine power, the eye of the storm was directly aimed at Ye Chen.

Yet, even though the storm of killing force was terrifying, Ye Chen’s expression did not waver in the slightest.

What a joke.

Back in the Primal Beginning Universe, Ye Chen dared to face and even kill Hua Tianjue, who was countless times stronger than Xiang Zuoyuan, and he had even destroyed the Divine Soul of a Cosmic Emperor. So why would he fear the killing force of this Divine Master?

This time, Ye Chen felt confident he could absolutely kill this Divine Master without even using the divine treasures on him!

"Seems like you’re unwilling to end yourself, forcing me to act personally?"

Facing the unmatched killing force, Ye Chen merely smiled faintly, saying this before his sleeve swirled to shatter the storm of killing force with an ultimate thick divine power aura.

He even made the entire void completely stabilize.

He completely suppressed Xiang Zuoyuan, the fivefold Divine Master, within a large span of void!

With one move, Ye Chen proved that Xiang Zuoyuan was no match for him at all!

As they felt Ye Chen’s immensely thick divine power aura and saw the powerful Divine Master Xiang Zuoyuan suppressed motionlessly within a span of void, those Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings who had been sent flying were in disbelief.

Could this Immortal Divine Venerable really defeat Xiang Zuoyuan?!

This Immortal Divine Venerable actually has such terrifying divine power?! Why is the divine power of an Immortal Divine Venerable so vast?!!

"We’re saved, we’re saved!"

Many of these Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings were so moved that tears fell.

Originally resigned to their fate, the sudden possibility of survival made it hard for them not to be overjoyed.

"Kill Xiang Zuoyuan!"

"Destroy this scourge!"

Someone even shouted excitedly at Ye Chen.

"My lord, please kill Xiang Zuoyuan and save our lives!"

"My lord, save us!"

As one person spoke out, others quickly realized, and instantly, everyone called out to Ye Chen for help, begging him to kill Xiang Zuoyuan.

Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Ye Chen smiled, turned to look at them, nodded, then looked towards Xiang Zuoyuan and said, "Although I just arrived at the Sea of Exile, I’ve heard of its dangers and bloodiness."

"However, since I’ve encountered this situation, resolving it is only a simple matter."

"Xiang Zuoyuan, blame your own vicious methods."

"You’ll be executed!"

Ye Chen’s words left Xiang Zuoyuan, who was repressed in a span of void, utterly horrified. His thoughts immediately turned to his master Zhulong, and he thought of a life-saving divine object left by Zhulong, desperately wanting to call upon it for rescue.

"Spare me, senior, spare me!"

Xiang Zuoyuan continuously begged Ye Chen for mercy while desperately surging divine power, trying to escape Ye Chen’s suppression to activate that life-saving divine object.

At this moment, it seemed as if Ye Chen sensed something.

"What tricks are you trying to pull?" Ye Chen shook his head, "Let alone you, even if your master Zhulong himself were here, how could he stop me from killing you?"

Ye Chen didn’t want to waste time with Xiang Zuoyuan or witness any more of his tricks.

A flash of divine light appeared in Ye Chen’s hand, and a fearsome spatial rift resembling lightning suddenly appeared where Xiang Zuoyuan was.

The spatial rift directly devoured and sliced, instantly killing Xiang Zuoyuan on the spot, completely consuming even his corpse and Divine Soul!

Just like that, the fivefold Divine Master Realm Xiang Zuoyuan was executed on the spot!

After killing Xiang Zuoyuan, Ye Chen turned to those Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings who were gleefully and reverently staring at him, smiling as he said, "You are free now."

"Whether you continue exploring the Inner Sea of the Sea of Exile or return to the Outer Sea is up to you. I shall take my leave first."

Having said this, Ye Chen was about to leave.

From the crowd, a nine-star Sovereign prostrated before Ye Chen, saying, "We don’t know your esteemed name, sir, but your life-saving grace is something I will never forget!"

"Yes, please leave your name, sir, we will always be grateful!"

The others also prostrated before Ye Chen.

At this moment, they no longer considered Ye Chen just an Immortal Divine Venerable; they believed he was hiding his realm and saw him as a profoundly powerful being far beyond the level of a Divine Master!

Seeing their expressions, Ye Chen simply waved his hand, "There’s no need to mind what I’m called."

"I come from other realms and will soon return there."

"It’s just a brief encounter, no need to hold onto it."

After these words, Ye Chen’s form disappeared from the void instantly.

"This sir comes from other realms."

"My goodness, could this sir be another great figure who has stumbled into the Sea of Exile!?"

"It’s said that those great figures who inadvertently enter the Sea of Exile are even more terrifying than those exiled here from the Cosmic Sea!"

Long after Ye Chen had vanished, the remaining Sovereigns, Divine Venerables, and Divine Kings were still left shocked in the area.
