176: Chapter 176 Wrath

Ye Tian never expected this.

In a mere Intermediate world, there was actually a Half-Step Domain Realm existence!

One had to know, a Half-Step Domain Realm existence, even if placed in those great worlds, would absolutely be considered a hegemon-level figure!

In an average Intermediate world, the strongest were only at the Peak of the Unity Realm!

Having one expert at the Peak of the Unity Realm holding down the fort was already considered a top-tier existence in an Intermediate world.

Because once someone achieved a Breakthrough to the Peak of the Unity Realm, few would choose to remain in an Intermediate world; basically, everyone would choose to go to a great world to seek the opportunity to achieve a Breakthrough to the Domain Realm!

Besides, this world, among Intermediate worlds, did not belong to those very close to the center of the Star Domain.

It could only be considered a world on the outer periphery of Intermediate worlds.

Being able to have an expert at the Late Stage of the Unity Realm holding down the fort was already considered quite good.

This Half-Step Domain Realm existence that suddenly popped out... truly gave him a shock!

Of course, shock was one thing, but he was not worried.

Not to mention that he had the entire Imperial Dynasty backing him, even on his own, if he truly disregarded the consequences, it wasn't impossible to kill the opponent!

They didn't really think that he, a practitioner of Rebirth, was a pushover, did they?

In his past life, he had lived for over a hundred thousand years.

Although he ultimately failed to step into that legendary Eternal Realm, his strength had reached the Peak of the Domain Realm!

Various desperate methods, secret techniques to burn Origin Laws, and forbidden arts to drag others down with him... those were all memories carved deep into his Soul!

With his current strength at the Unity Realm, many of these desperate methods could already be used.

However, if he were to truly do so, he would have to pay a heavy price.

At best, his Realm would drop; at worst, his Origin would be damaged!

If that really happened, he wouldn't be able to recover without a few thousand years.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't do it; it was just not worth it!

Ye Tian struggled to stand up from the pile of rubble, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and there was no fear in his eyes.

At this moment, the seven Unity Realm experts of the Tianqu Dynasty on the opposite side, upon seeing the appearance of The Grey-robed Elder, were suddenly as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, their faces all revealing expressions of wild joy!

"Old Ancestor! It is the Old Ancestor who has emerged from seclusion!"

"Hahaha! Wonderful! It seems the Old Ancestor has achieved a Breakthrough!"

"Old Ancestor is mighty! The Old Ancestor is invincible under the heavens, undefeated throughout the Star Domain!"

"With the Old Ancestor here, these intruders will surely die today!"

The two Unity Realm Late Stage experts who had just been suppressed by Ye Tian were shaking with excitement.

After exchanging glances, they stumbled over to The Grey-robed Elder and plopped down onto their knees!

"Many thanks to the Old Ancestor for saving our lives!"

"Old Ancestor is mighty! If not for the Old Ancestor stepping in just in time, we would have fallen into the hands of this scoundrel today!"

As they spoke, the two did not forget to look back and glare viciously at Ye Tian.

That look seemed to say—Little brat, you are dead!

The other five Unity Realm experts of the Tianqu Dynasty also gathered around, their faces all revealing extremely fawning expressions.

That appearance was truly comparable to those two old geezers, Li Youming and Master Tianjizi!

"Congratulations to the Old Ancestor for emerging from seclusion!"

"We congratulate the Old Ancestor on the great advancement of his cultivation, undefeated throughout the Star Domain!"

"The Old Ancestor has heaven-given talent; it is truly the fortune of our Tianqu Dynasty!"

"Old Ancestor... you are awesome..."

The Grey-robed Elder, when facing all the fawning words around him, only nodded slightly, his face remaining completely calm.

His turbid old eyes slowly swept across Ye Tian and the others, finally landing on Ye Tian.

His gaze carried a condescending scrutiny, as if he were looking at an ant—a slightly stronger ant.

"Outsiders." The Grey-robed Elder spoke. His voice was hoarse but carried an unquestionable majesty. "Where do you come from? Why have you invaded our Tianqu World?"

Ye Tian took a deep breath, suppressed the roiling Qi and blood in his body, and said coldly, "Tianxuan Dynasty, Deputy Commander of the Divine Martial Guard, acting under the orders of Your Majesty to conquer the heavens."

"Tianxuan Dynasty?" A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of The Grey-robed Elder.

He had lived in the Star Domain for tens of thousands of years and considered himself well-informed. But this Tianxuan Dynasty... he had never heard of it.

"Never heard of it." The Grey-robed Elder shook his head, his tone indifferent.

"But that does not matter. Regardless of where you come from, since you dare to invade our Tianqu World, you must pay the price."

Having said this, he paused. A glint of light suddenly flashed in his turbid old eyes.

"I have just emerged from seclusion and do not wish to cause excessive slaughter, so I can give you a chance."

"Especially you few; your strength is not bad. Especially you—" As he said this, his turbid eyes stared straight at Ye Tian.

Being in the same Realm, able to fight two opponents and achieve an overwhelming victory—this kind of strength was much stronger than his own had been back then... This was a true Genius.

It would be a pity to kill him, so just now, he had already thought of a very good way to handle this.

"How about this. I will give you a chance. Submit to our Tianqu Dynasty and serve our Tianqu Dynasty. I will spare your lives."

As his voice fell, the seven Unity Realm experts of the Tianqu Dynasty all revealed smug smiles.

Especially the two Unity Realm Late Stage experts who had been suppressed by Ye Tian. At this moment, they spoke with a sarcastic, Yin and Yang tone.

"Hmph! Kid, did you hear that? The Old Ancestor is showing mercy and is willing to take you in!"

"If you are sensible, hurry up and kneel down, kowtow, and swear to submit to our Tianqu Dynasty forever! Otherwise—otherwise today will be your death day! The methods of the Old Ancestor are not something you can imagine!"

The others around them also began to chime in one after another.

"That's right! To be favored by the Old Ancestor is your good fortune! Don't be ungrateful! Submit, or die!"

That ugly face was arrogant to the extreme. It was as if Ye Tian and his group were already fish on the chopping block, waiting to be butchered by them.

Behind Ye Tian, Li Youming and Master Tianjizi exchanged glances, and a strange look flashed in their eyes...

They had already started imagining in their minds the scene of the opponent being beaten up by the experts of the Imperial Dynasty later.

A mere Half-Step Domain Realm existence. For them, they indeed couldn't defeat him! However, placed in the Imperial Dynasty, he was just a slightly larger ant.

Not to mention their high and mighty Your Majesty in the Imperial Dynasty, even just those few Guest Elders within their Divine Martial Guard could beat the crap out of him...

After hearing the words of The Grey-robed Elder, Ye Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly laughed. He laughed with a playful tone.

"Old geezer! What did you say? You want us to submit?"

While saying this, Ye Tian deliberately picked his ear, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Hahaha... You really cracked me up. Did you all hear that? A mere Half-Step Domain Realm, and he actually wants us to submit? Is he suffering from senile dementia? Hahaha..."

Hearing such insulting words from Ye Tian, the face of The Grey-robed Elder immediately darkened.

Immediately after, a terrifyingly oppressive aura erupted from his body!

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to have solidified!

"Junior. I am giving you a chance because I think highly of you. Since you are so ungrateful—then don't blame me for being ruthless! Today. All of you must die!!!"
