Eternal Holy Emperor

Boom, boom, boom—

A series of enormous explosions instantly reverberated through the Primordial Divine Sea, startling colossal waves that erupted around the Human Clan’s ancient ship.

Visible to the naked eye, those erupting waves were caused by terrifying beams of light, originating from a pirate ship behind the Human Clan’s vessel, flying a skull and crossbones pirate flag. The jet-black Divine Power Cannons on the pirate ship continually emitted light, launching blinding beams that illuminated the storm-swept sea area and exploded the waves.

Among them, some beams nearly hit the ship, causing the protective aura to burn and melt, appearing extremely terrifying.

This is the Divine Power Cannon of the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, modified here by the Primordial Pirates. Its power is incomparable to the outside world. These Divine Power Cannons have the power to kill cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm with a single shot and even possibly wipe out experts in the Saintly Treasure Realm. In the outside world, a single shot could perhaps blow up an entire mountain range.

"Everyone follow us to grandpa’s place; it’s the safest spot," Xia Mu’er spoke, pulling Ye Chen and the others swiftly toward Elder Xia.

Ye Chen did not refuse, although he could easily destroy the pirate ship behind; he was just new to the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain and preferred caution.

Once they arrived at Elder Xia’s location, they found all Human Clan Cultivators gathered, their eyes focused on Elder Xia who led them.

At that moment, Elder Xia was steering the ship, his hands channeling Divine Power along the ship’s various Dao Patterns into the helm, swiftly navigating through the roaring waves, riding the winds and breaking through waves.

Outside the ship, blinding beams constantly flashed; each appearance induced panic among the passengers because they were all terrifying Divine Power Cannons.

Occasionally, the ship was narrowly grazed by a beam from the Divine Power Cannon. Even a mere graze caused the entire ship to tremble violently, nearly overturning, which left everyone on board in distress.

Only Elder Xia, who was steering, managed to maintain calm. At this moment, he couldn’t afford panic; he was the calming force for everyone aboard.

Occasionally his gaze swept over the other tribal members inside, especially over the outstanding tribal Heavenly Prides like Xia Mu’er. Through the light emitted by the Divine Power Cannons, he could clearly see the undisguised panic etched on their faces, and sighed inwardly.

Even faced with this scene, an experienced elder like him couldn’t help but feel anxious, thinking that the younger generation had truly poor mental resolve.

A person’s mental realm often determines future achievements; the stronger the resolve, even amidst countless dangers, one can overcome obstacles, which represents a passport to the path of a strong being.

Conversely, those with poor mental realms will have nearly limited future accomplishments.

Elder Xia felt helpless; if so, how could these tribal Heavenly Prides lift the tribe’s rise and lead the entire tribe to prosperity in the future?

But when his gaze shifted to Ye Chen and the others, who were rescued from the charred island, he was shocked to find that even in the face of life and death crises, these young individuals remained calm as ever.

That calmness wasn’t feigned but emanated from deep within, with glances that remained tranquil as if even the sky fell without fear. Such powerful mental resolve was far beyond him; even as a thousand-year-old tribal elder, he couldn’t achieve that.

How could these young ones remain so composed and natural? Was it merely the result of big family training? Such poise could at most be a facade, not genuine manifestation.

These young masters and misses from prestigious families appeared utterly unruffled and fearless.

But he couldn’t afford to speculate; the next moment, the ship trembled once more fiercely, the Yellow Sea Seven Demon Pirate Ship was closely pursuing behind. If not for Elder Xia’s profound steering skills, narrowly avoiding the attacks from the Divine Power Cannons, the entire ship would’ve been destroyed long ago.

Boom—

Another terrifying crash, but this time everyone aboard turned pale, for the ship’s protective aura was destroyed. A beam struck, and the entire ship shuddered violently, with cracks quickly spreading.

The ship was rapidly fracturing, letting in vast amounts of seawater.

Although everyone aboard could fly, the Primordial Divine Sea was too vast, constantly battered by fierce gales and torrential waves, so they couldn’t fly a great distance.

The Primordial Divine Sea was also teeming with countless terrifying sea beasts, further endangering the situation.

For a while, everyone aboard panicked.

"What should we do? The ship is about to sink!"

"Should we offer the Heavenly Flame Pearls to the pirates?"

"No, these pirates must surely kill and plunder. If they get these Heavenly Flame Pearls, we won’t survive either."

"So what should we do now?"

Everyone was debating, hoping to hand over the Heavenly Flame Pearls collected from the Zhanglan Sea Area to the Yellow Sea Seven Demon Pirates for safe passage.

Yet others were unwilling, knowing the Primordial Pirates are ruthless killers, who would never let them live easily, suggesting that they all fight the Yellow Sea Seven Demon Pirates together.

Among them, Elder Xia saw the chaos erupting and sternly shouted, "Quiet! All of you, calm down."

Hearing the command, everyone quieted, looking towards Elder Xia.

But Elder Xia turned to Ye Chen, speaking with a trace of plea, "Young Master Ye, can you, for the sake of our shared humanity, help our Xiasang Tribe? I only hope you can take Mu’er and a few other young tribal members with you during escape. They are our Xiasang Tribe’s future hope. If you agree, I’m willing to give you all the Heavenly Flame Pearls we gathered this time."

Elder Xia was gambling, believing Ye Chen and his group were extraordinary, not ordinary youth; otherwise, how could they remain so calm amidst the feared Yellow Sea Seven Demon Pirates’ pursuit, unless they had an escape plan?

Unless these young ones were feigning appearances convincing enough to deceive his thousand-year-old insight; if Xia Mu’er and others perished with them, he could say no more.

With Elder Xia’s appeal, others shockingly looked at Ye Chen and his companions, amazed by his faith in these outsider youths.

Clearly, they’re no older than Xia Mu’er and others, so how could they possess such ability?

But for Elder Xia to speak thus, he surely had his reasons.

"Grandpa, you—" Xia Mu’er was shocked like others but grasped the situation with her keen insight, reluctant to leave, hurriedly stepped forward, clutching her grandfather’s sleeve, teary-eyed, unwilling to part from the grandfather who raised her.

"Mu’er, behave, take Xia Feng, Xia Chen, Xia Gu, and leave with Young Master Ye. You are our Xiasang Tribe’s future hope; you must survive," Elder Xia whispered lovingly, for Xia Mu’er, his granddaughter whom he cherished, was now facing life and death separation.

However, there’s no choice now; he could only believe in Ye Chen and his group, hoping they’d repay the favor of boarding by helping them.

Elder Xia looked at Ye Chen and the others, with a pleading hint, "Young Master Ye, can you agree to this humble request?"

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Chen slowly shook his head, and at that sight, everyone’s heart sank, feeling resentment towards Ye Chen and his companions, thinking they were ungrateful.

Despair flickered in Elder Xia’s eyes.

At that moment, Ye Chen spoke slowly, his words leaving all present dumbstruck: "I have a suggestion; why not directly solve this so-called Yellow Sea Seven Demon Pirate issue. What do you all think?"
