Chapter 1220 1216: On the Brink of Peril

"What? The treasure of the Quasi-Divine King!" Ye Chen couldn't help but be taken aback.

To know, a Quasi-Divine King is a powerhouse with one foot already in the Divine King Realm, far more terrifying than a Tier Nine Celestial God.

Even the legacy of the Red Medicine Celestial God could attract so many Outer Realm Races, not to mention the treasure of a Quasi-Divine King.

"Master, in ancient times, the Yellow Cloud World was a Fifth-class Realm, and indeed could have given rise to a Quasi-Divine King.

A Quasi-Divine King in a Fifth-class Realm is virtually invincible, capable of sweeping away all other strong beings," the Tower Spirit's voice suddenly echoed in Ye Chen's mind.

The Fifth-class Realm only allows strong beings below the Divine King Realm to enter.

Therefore, a Celestial God Realm powerhouse is essentially an Overlord Level existence in a Fifth-class Realm.

As for a Quasi-Divine King, in a Fifth-class Realm, they are even more unstoppable, and no one dares to challenge their authority.

"Alas, who would have thought the Yellow Cloud World would be so plagued with disasters," Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

If the Yellow Cloud World were merely a normal Seventh-class Realm, it wouldn't even catch the eye of the Outer Realm Races.

After all, there are countless Seventh-class Realms in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and they are of no significant value.

However, in ancient times, the Yellow Cloud World happened to be a Fifth-class Realm, leaving behind many treasures of Celestial God Realm powerhouses.

This is both an opportunity and an immense disaster for the natives of the Yellow Cloud World.

If handled poorly, the Yellow Cloud World could be completely occupied by Outer Realm Races.

And the natives of the Yellow Cloud World would entirely become lambs ready for slaughter.

"Oh, by the way, Chen'er, the Great Hall Master has returned to Human King Hall! Supreme Lord Bai Zhan had once instructed me, as soon as you emerged from seclusion, to go to his residence to find him; he wishes to take you to see the Great Hall Master," Ye Ming said with a slight smile, his brows filled with a deep sense of pride.

As far as he knew, the Great Hall Master of Human King Hall is ranked among the top three powerhouses in the Yellow Cloud World.

And to think such a super influential figure wants to meet Ye Chen.

This is truly a matter of pride.

"It seems Human King Hall plans to induct me as a Core Disciple," Ye Chen nodded, his expression appearing calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

With his potential, becoming a Core Disciple of Human King Hall is almost an effortless task.

After all, even among the Core Disciples of Human King Hall, there aren't many who can slay a Celestial God Descendant.

"Chen'er, there's one more thing I must tell you! The last time you killed Hun Zhu and many Divine Spirit Descendants in the Ancient Secret Realm.

A short while ago, their elders have dispatched people into the Yellow Cloud World seeking revenge on you! So, during this period, make sure you don't leave the Human King Hall," Ye Ming said with extremely solemn expression.

"They really came after all!" A piercing brilliance shot out from Ye Chen's eyes.

He had long known this day would come, but did not expect it to come so quickly.

However, his strength now compared to a year ago has transformed radically.

Thus, he is completely unafraid.

He just hopes he won't implicate others.

"Chen'er, the position of Human King Hall is extremely secretive, even the Outer Realm Races find it difficult to locate for a time, so staying here is the safest.

Your father and grandfather also hope you stay within the Human King Hall," Ye Ming said.

Ye Chen's father and grandfather, since their Dantian was repaired by Ye Chen, have been fully recovering their strength.

Though they occasionally come out to keep an eye on external situations.

Thus, they've already become aware of this matter and naturally don't want Ye Chen to venture out.

"Hmm! I will certainly not act recklessly. I'll go to see Elder Bai Zhan first," Ye Chen nodded.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, his figure flickered, instantly disappearing from where he stood, rapidly flying toward Supreme Lord Bai Zhan's residence.

Regarding the situation outside, Supreme Lord Bai Zhan certainly knows more detail than his foster father.

Thus, he plans to inquire about the specifics from Supreme Lord Bai Zhan.

...

Soon, Ye Chen landed atop a towering mountain.

"Hahaha! Ye Chen, you finally came out of seclusion, I've been waiting here for you a long time," At this moment, an elder suddenly flew out from the palace ahead, approaching Ye Chen.

This elder was none other than Supreme Lord Bai Zhan.

"Elder Bai Zhan, long time no see, I heard the Great Hall Master wants to see me?" Ye Chen smiled.

"Correct, the Great Hall Master rushed back from the Outer Realm upon hearing about your slaying of Hun Zhu, and he very much wants to see your potential firsthand," Supreme Lord Bai Zhan said with a smile, eyes full of eager anticipation.

In fact, he only knew Ye Chen had slain Hun Zhu, but did not witness the process firsthand.

Therefore, he isn't fully aware of to what extent Ye Chen's potential has grown.

However, for Ye Chen to want to become a Core Disciple of Human King Hall, he must first pass the Core Disciple assessment.

By then, Ye Chen's potential will be measurable.

"Hmm! I wonder if the Great Hall Master is available now?" Ye Chen nodded.

Since Human King Hall dispatched strong individuals to rescue his father and grandfather, he resolved to dedicate himself loyally to Human King Hall.

After all, for a drop of kindness, one should repay in torrents.

Ye Chen is precisely someone who reciprocates kindness.

Therefore, regardless of how strong his potential becomes, he would not disdain the position of a Core Disciple.

"Not long ago, the Great Hall Master fought a battle with a strong existence from the Outer Realm races and suffered some minor injuries, but it won't prevent you from meeting him; we can set off now," Supreme Lord Bai Zhan said.

"What? The Great Hall Master was actually injured? Isn't he ranked among the top three powerhouses of the Yellow Cloud World?" Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, his expression stunningly shocked.

It's known that the Great Hall Master's strength is virtually unparalleled in the Yellow Cloud World, possibly carrying a Divine Artifact.

Yet, there are individuals among the Outer Realm races capable of injuring him.

How terrifying has their strength become?

"Alas! Ye Chen, you might not know, among the Outer Realm races that entered the Yellow Cloud World this time, some possess extremely powerful strength, capable of sweeping away our Quasi-God Realm strong beings of the Yellow Cloud World, it's only the Great Hall Master who can contend with them.

Moreover, in the future, even stronger Quasi-God Realm beings might enter the Yellow Cloud World in search of treasures. When that time comes, even our Human King Hall will have no choice but to hide," Supreme Lord Bai Zhan couldn't help but sigh, his expression becoming deeply grim.

While Human King Hall is the most powerful force in the Yellow Cloud World, it is not invincible.

In All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there are far too many Quasi-God Realm beings who pose a threat to them.

Especially those Tier Nine Celestial God Descendants, just one is capable of rendering them completely defenseless.

Thus, from now on, the situation in the Yellow Cloud World has completely slipped from their grasp.

Even they are powerless to change it.
