Chapter 216: with translation of chapter title

He pressed his fingers together like a sword; a thread of qi and blood, condensed to the extreme and emitting imperial majesty's golden hue, flowed at his fingertips, as if the next moment he would shatter Hu Xiao Zhou's skull.

Though that thread of qi and blood was small, it made Hu Xiao Zhou feel a threat more terrifying than death—the great terror of his bloodline's primordial essence being completely worn away!

"I... I..."

Hu Xiao Zhou struggled violently, tears of humiliation mixing with blood as they slid from the corners of his eyes.

As the Young Master of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan, when had he ever suffered such utter disgrace!

But that deathly aura hanging over his head was all too real, and the opponent's unfathomable strength filled him with despair.

On the other side, Hu Xiao Yu, seeing this, his eyes nearly burst; he wanted to rush over to help, but was tightly entangled.

"Three breaths." Ye Wuque's voice was ice-cold and merciless.

The immense pressure and shadow of death completely shattered Hu Xiao Zhou's mental defenses.

Before absolute power, so-called pride and dignity appeared so fragile.

"I... I submit..."

Finally, from deep within Hu Xiao Zhou's throat, he squeezed out those three words filled with endless humiliation.

His massive body trembled slightly as he lowered his proud tiger head.

The golden qi and blood at Ye Wuque's fingertips dissipated; he casually cast a mysterious seal script that sank into Hu Xiao Zhou's forehead, leaving a soul imprint.

From then on, the life and death of this Primordial Overlord Tiger Young Master lay entirely in his thoughts.

"And you." Ye Wuque turned his gaze toward Hu Xiao Yu on the other side.

Seeing the Young Master already submit, and feeling Ye Wuque's indifferent gaze, Hu Xiao Yu's whole body shuddered; his will to resist collapsed instantly, and he too was implanted with the mark.

The situation—reversed in an instant!

Originally nine versus eight, and even slightly advantaged, the three-clan alliance instantly lost two high-end combatants of the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent Clan, and even the two Heavenly Pride of the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan were subdued!

And all of this happened almost in the blink of an eye!

It had reached the extreme!

"Damn it!!"

Hun Yu, locked in fierce battle with the Young Hero, saw this scene and his mind was greatly shaken.

Already at a disadvantage, he was further caught by the Young Hero exploiting an opening; a heavy punch imbued with the 'Supreme Sovereign' intent smashed hard into his chest!

"Pfft—!"

Hun Yu coughed up blood in large gulps, his chest caved in, his breath plummeting; fear finally showed on his face, no longer willing to fight, his wings flapped wildly, turning into a golden line as he tried to flee!

"You want to leave? Ask me first!"

The Young Hero's fighting spirit soared; silver light burst forth as he pursued relentlessly!

"Since you've come, leave something behind."

Ye Wuque spoke calmly, and he and the War Prince attacked simultaneously!

Target—the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan!

The terrifying attack instantly engulfed the fleeing Hun Yu, Hun Yuanjun, and the other two Golden-Winged Great Peng Heavenly Pride!

"No!!"

Hun Yuanjun let out a despairing wail; he was already weaker, and under this siege he was the first to collapse.

His protective divine light shattered instantly; in endless fear and resentment, the Young Hero's punch blew him apart, turning him into a rain of blood that filled the sky—body and soul annihilated!

Hun Yu and the other two Golden-Winged Great Peng Heavenly Pride, though formidable, could barely withstand a few breaths under the siege of Ye Wuque, the Young Hero, the War Prince, and the two Primordial Overlord Tigers before paying a heavy price.

His bones shattered completely, his wings torn off; relying on burning primordial and secret treasures, he managed to become three dim blood lights, fleeing in a sorry state—barely saving his life, but his vitality was gravely wounded, and without years of arduous cultivation it would be hard to recover.

Of the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent Clan's three emperors, two had already fallen; the remaining Seventh Emperor Teng, seeing the situation turn bad, had already torn open the void and fled far away as soon as Hun Yu retreated, not even daring to leave a harsh word.

This sudden encirclement and counter-encirclement finally came to an end.

The valley lay in utter chaos, residual terrifying energy fluctuations and a pungent bloody stench lingering in the air.

On the side of the Holy War Heavenly Ape, the Blazing Sun Golden Ape, the Heaven-Splitting Purple Ape, and the two Nine Heavens Black Apes were all seriously wounded, their breath feeble, their bodies covered with deep wounds down to the bone; if Ye Wuque had not swiftly dealt with his opponents and rushed to reinforce them, they would likely have met more misfortune than fortune.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was filled with shock and awe, as if looking at a monster, fixed upon that black-robed figure standing calmly.

With casual ease he heavily wounded two mighty Soaring Snakes, forcefully subdued two Primordial Overlord Tigers, and turned the tide of battle—such strength is simply shocking to hear!

"Perhaps only the offspring of the lofty Emperor Fiend would be worthy to contend with Elder Brother Ye..."

The Young Hero sighed.

……

Beyond the Primordial Ancient World.

"Hahahaha! Good! Well done!"

The giant ape elder of the Holy War Heavenly Ape clan clapped and laughed loudly, his voice like a great bell, utterly delighted.

"Ye Xiaoyou is truly a divine person! With him, what worry do we have that our juniors cannot bring glory!"

The clan leader also wore a smile, slightly nodding, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

In stark contrast to this was the region where the Primordial Overlord Tiger Clan resided.

A massive dark-gold tiger, its hulking form like a mountain and its killing aura nearly condensed into substance, let out a terrifying roar that shattered the surrounding stars, filled with endless humiliation and wrath:

"Human ants! How dare you humiliate my tiger clan! This feud is irreconcilable!!"

In the camps of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan and the Sun-Devouring Sky Serpent Clan, the killing intent soared to the heavens, icy and bone-piercing!

The fall of Hun Yuanjun, the heavy injuries to Hun Yu and others, and the destruction of the paths of the Third Emperor Teng and the Fifth Emperor Teng—all are inseparably linked to Ye Wuque!

"Human ants... you must die!"

The icy, resentful whisper echoed in Xingxuan, foretelling the bloody storm that would surely come in the future.

Within the valley, Ye Wuque said lightly to the two Primordial Overlord Tigers prostrate on the ground, their eyes complex: "Follow me."

Then he looked toward the Young Hero, the War Prince, and the others, his gaze sweeping over the injured few of the ape clan's Heavenly Pride, and said: "First find a safe place to heal our wounds, then we will discuss further plans."

The little hero nodded vigorously, looking at Ye Wuque, his eyes filled with admiration and excitement: "I'll listen to Brother Ye on everything!"

The group, bringing along the two newly tamed mounts, quickly left this blood-soaked battlefield and disappeared into the lofty mountains and ridges of the Purple Sun Great Domain.
