When they saw Ye Chen nodding with a light smile, their minds instantly turned blank.
Ye Chen had obtained the Eye of the Divine Sea, which meant that their safe departure from the Undersea Divine Palace was now without any issue!
In an instant, the area erupted with cheers!
The cheering in this area naturally caught the attention of the nearby areas. When the martial artists from the adjacent areas heard that a youth from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent named "Ye Chen" had received the Eye of the Divine Sea, they too rushed over to Ye Chen's side, shouting with excitement.
Apart from the circle where Ye Chen was, there were the circles of the North Ming Clan and the Blood God Clan.
When the clan leaders of the North Ming Clan and the Blood God Clan, along with the tens of thousands of sword cultivators who had met Ye Chen and Jiang Yao on the thirty-second floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, spread the news that Ye Chen had obtained the Eye of the Divine Sea and promised to rescue them, it took less than a moment for all the surviving warriors in the grand hall to learn of it.
This time, the person who had obtained the Eye of the Divine Sea was named Ye Chen!
Almost everyone rushed toward the area where Ye Chen was.
How could they not rush toward Ye Chen?
After all, only Ye Chen with the Eye of the Divine Sea could save them from the annihilation of the great cleansing catastrophe!
Of course, among the crowd, there were two groups of people who felt a chill in their hearts at this moment.
These two groups were the Heavenly Saint True Gods from the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan.
These two clans had once joined forces to besiege the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, and they had deadly blood feuds with the Divine Phoenix Clan where Jiang Yao belonged. When they learned that the Eye of the Divine Sea was obtained by Ye Chen, a youth from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent whom the princess of the Divine Phoenix Clan, Jiang Yao, was fond of, their hearts felt as if they had deteriorated into ash.
Especially those who had participated in the besieging of the Divine Phoenix Clan and the Barbaric Wilderness Continent from the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan Heavenly Saint True Gods knew that it would be difficult for them to leave the Undersea Divine Palace safely now.
Ye Chen stood in the middle of the grand hall, he could see the countless warriors surging towards him with joy, and he could also see the faces of the Heavenly Saint True Gods from the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan turning pale in an instant.
Ye Chen instantly soared to the mid-air of the grand hall, and his powerful aura swept toward all the warriors, stopping the frantic crowding of many.
When Ye Chen's aura was fully released, nearly all the warriors in the venue held their breath and trembled!
For they realized that the aura Ye Chen exhibited was a formidable one they had never encountered before.
It was even stronger than the auras of the Ancient Emperors of the Yan Clan, the elder chieftains of the Flying Spirit Clan, and the elder chieftains of the Vermilion Bird Clan whom they had felt before, all of whom were True Gods of the Nine Tribulations!
At this moment, even the True Phoenix and Mu Lan True God, upon sensing Ye Chen's true aura after its release, were shocked to the core.
They had not expected that Ye Chen's advancement to the late stage of the God King Realm was not simply that, and even his true combat aura seemed to have surpassed the level of the Nine Tribulations True Gods from the Minor Spirit Realm!
How could this not amaze the True Phoenix and Mu Lan True God?!
Even when entering the Undersea Divine Palace, they knew Ye Chen was incredibly powerful, even capable of clashing with them, but they could never imagine, in just a short year, Ye Chen had grown to such an extent and left them far behind!
"The aura of Young Friend Ye Chen!"
"The aura of Daoist Ye Chen!"
"Brother Ye Chen's aura!"
"My god, this aura, it surpasses the True Gods of the Nine Tribulations from the Minor Spirit Realm?!"
"Could it be the God King Realm? No, breaking through to the God King Realm is said to result in being directly transported outside of the Undersea Divine Palace, it's impossible for him to be in the God King Realm. Could it be some powerful force we are unaware of!"
Not only were True Phoenix and Mu Lan True God in shock, but others beside them, Palace Master Yuan Li, Mu Yao Palace Master, Elder Minghua, Tianyan Elder Ancestor, Mystery Heavenly Saint, the young master Ding Xiaojia of Jiumang Continent, and even all the warriors in the great hall were completely astonished!
Especially the True Gods from the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan, who bore grudges against Ye Chen, their hearts were once again pounding.
They hadn't expected that their Nine Tribulations True God clan leader would vanish without a trace, while their adversary, Ye Chen, had become so powerful, not only obtaining the Eye of the Divine Sea but also experiencing such an explosive increase in strength!
In the midst of the shock, there was only a bright gleam in Jiang Yao's beautiful eyes.
Jiang Yao had personally accompanied Ye Chen in his cultivation and had witnessed his progress step by step.
Jiang Yao knew that Ye Chen's growth to this extent was the result of many days of arduous cultivation, having gone through countless terrifying trials and crises.
At this moment, as Ye Chen stunned everyone, Jiang Yao felt happy and proud of Ye Chen!
In the void, Ye Chen's release of aura wasn't to surprise these people, but to stop the chaotic scene of people rushing towards him in a disorderly manner.
Now, seeing that everyone had indeed stopped their unruly behavior and was instead looking at him in shock, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head in resignation.
However, as long as it achieved the desired effect, that was what mattered.
Ye Chen looked at the crowd that had stopped pushing forward and looked towards the familiar and completely unfamiliar faces among them.
He first nodded and smiled at Yan Ling'er from the Yan Clan, and then said to her, "Friends from the Yan Clan, you do not need to worry about the safety of the Ancient Emperor. As far as I know, he has successfully broken through to the 'God King Realm' and has already been transported out of the Undersea Divine Palace!"
Ye Chen had already learned about the situation of the Yan Clan's Ancient Emperor from Granny He, and seeing the worried looks on the faces of Yan Ling'er and the other Yan Clan warriors, he informed them about the Ancient Emperor's situation first.
"My grandfather has broken through to the 'God King Realm'?!"
Yan Ling'er had been extremely worried about the safety of the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, but upon hearing Ye Chen's words, she immediately went from panic to great joy.
Not just Yan Ling'er, but other True Gods and Heavenly Saints of the Yan Clan were also overjoyed.
Even though many of their Heavenly Saints and True Gods had perished within the Undersea Divine Palace.
As their Ancient Emperor had successfully broken through to the "God King Realm," it represented a tremendous boost in strength for the entire Yan Clan!
Ye Chen's words, coupled with the joyous expressions of Yan Ling'er and the other Yan Clan warriors, made the other warriors extremely envious of the Yan Clan.
At this point, the warriors from the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan felt their hearts skip a beat, with a hint of anticipation rising: "Could it be that our two clan leaders have also broken through to the God King Realm, which is why they haven't appeared here?"
As they were lost in their wild thoughts, Ye Chen's gaze moved from the faces of the people of the Yan Clan to the faces of the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan.
Ye Chen said indifferently to these warriors, "As for the two Nine Tribulations True God clan leaders from the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan, they, indeed, did not break through to the God King Realm."
"The reason they didn't appear here is because I—killed them!"
