Warring States Alliance, the Arrogant Arena, and the Sinister Gate!
These three factions were, in fact, the three strongest forces on the Sinister Planet, and it was precisely due to their presence that empires like the Star River Empire did not dare to easily offend them.
After all, if any external force were to intervene, the three factions would unite as one!
Although the three were merely Rank 8 Great Emperors, their infamy preceded them, and their combat prowess far surpassed their realms. Moreover, all three were ability users. Among them, the Warring States Alliance's leader, Meng Tianfang, was a lightning cultivator like Ye Xuan. Liu Tian of the Arrogant Arena was a fire cultivator. As for Sinister, the leader of the Sinister Gate, he was a sword cultivator.
If they were to fight to the death, each of them would be capable of contending with a Rank 9 Great Emperor. If the three were to fight one person, even a Rank 9 Great Emperor might fall.
Such a price was not something any empire was willing to bear. After all, compared to a high-level planet, a Rank 9 Great Emperor was far more important to them.
"He is... Binghe!?"
"Binghe of the Elf race!!"
As expected, Binghe's identity was quickly unearthed. The faces of the three leaders of the Warring States Alliance, the Arrogant Arena, and the Sinister Gate fell. It was impossible for them not to know the name Binghe.
He who had caused chaos on the Sinister Planet and had even won the championship in the Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition!
"My three esteemed leaders, let us speak in private."
At this moment, Ye Xuan's voice was heard. It was only then that the three turned their gaze to Ye Xuan. However, upon seeing him, the corners of their mouths twitched.
"How is this possible? He is clearly only at the peak of Rank 7 Great Emperor, yet he makes us feel an intense sense of danger."
"This person is very peculiar, and very strong!"
The three exchanged glances, realizing that this person was the strongest among Ye Xuan's group.
"Very well!"
Following that, the three entered the Arrogant Arena with Ye Xuan's group. However, no one else followed.
Deep within the Arrogant Arena.
"Who are you, sir?"
Meng Tianfang's gaze fell upon Ye Xuan, his voice solemn.
"Ye Xuan, second on the Star River Empire's planetary ranking, and also a guest minister of the Star River Empire."
Huh!?
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the three were stunned.
"You are Ye Xuan!!!"
Clearly, this identity surprised them. "The peak of Rank 7 Great Emperor. You've been hiding your strength quite well."
"No, you are together... Could it be..."
Sinister realized something, and surprise flooded his face. "The Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition, it was all your doing."
"Heh heh, you're not stupid, are you?"
Binghe's colossal beast form glanced at Mu Ling'er and then continued, "To tell you the truth."
"Actually, we were the ones who killed the guest minister of the Star River Empire."
BOOM!!!!
Upon hearing this, Meng Tianfang and the other two were greatly shaken. Mu Ling'er was also incredibly surprised. Fu Tu, the murderer of her father, was killed by her master and his clone? Then her master...
Thinking of this, Mu Ling'er pursed her lips. Had her master killed Fu Tu directly for her?
"Come then."
Binghe's colossal beast form looked at the three of them, "These things are not important. The three of you attack together, I will defeat you, and then you will surrender."
"How about it?"
A calm voice echoed in the arena, and Meng Tianfang and the other two's expressions turned grim.
"Arrogant!"
"Even Fu Tu would not dare speak to us like this. Take this!!"
Immediately, the three attacked in unison. Lightning, sword energy, and flames instantly engulfed Binghe's colossal beast form. Such tacit cooperation made even Ye Xuan marvel. Although the three belonged to different factions, in essence, their fates were intertwined. They had long since become an unbreakable bond of partners.
This further solidified his resolve to conquer the Sinister Planet.
With the Ice Xuan Sword in hand, he unleashed a sword strike, freezing the attacks of Meng Tianfang and the other two. Bang, bang, bang~
With terrifying force, Meng Tianfang and the other two were sent flying backward, their faces filled with horror as they looked at Binghe's colossal beast form.
"How is this possible!!"
That's right, they could not believe what they were seeing. Their combined attack had been utterly defeated.
After the exchange, the three fell silent.
Then, the way they looked at Binghe's colossal beast form changed. How could this guy be so strong? The last time he came to the Sinister Planet, he was only a Rank 4 Great Emperor. During the Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition, he was already at the peak of Rank 6 Great Emperor. Now, after not seeing him for days, he had inexplicably jumped to the peak of Rank 8 Great Emperor.
Even breaking through like a rocket wouldn't be this fast!!
After all, for someone to advance at such a rate, an ordinary person would need at least a century, or even several centuries.
"You're surprised already?"
"Then will you believe me if I say that I, myself, killed Fu Tu, the peak Rank 8 Great Emperor of the Star River Empire, with a single palm strike?"
Binghe's colossal beast form spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood. It was then that Meng Tianfang and the other two's gazes finally fell upon Ye Xuan's true form. The fact that Fu Tu was a peak Rank 8 Great Emperor did not surprise them. However, to be killed by this peak Rank 7 Great Emperor was what truly astonished them.
"Heh heh, how about this?"
Ye Xuan smiled at the three. "If you surrender to me, I guarantee that I will immediately help you reach the peak of Rank 8 Great Emperor. As for whether you can eventually become a Rank 9 Great Emperor or even step into the realm of Venerable, that will depend entirely on your performance?"
First, he overwhelmed them with martial might, then he dangled a carrot. Ye Xuan was already very skilled at such tactics.
"Immediately reach the peak of Rank 8 Great Emperor!!"
Upon hearing this, the three were all shaken. They knew that if they all reached the peak of Rank 8 Great Emperor, with their combined strength, they could even kill Rank 9 Great Emperors, and even contend with peak Rank 9 Great Emperors for a short period.
"What this venerable one says is naturally true."
"You think I am very powerful, but in reality... I am merely a clone of the true body."
Binghe's colossal beast form used self-deprecation to highlight the power of his true body. At this moment, Meng Tianfang and the other two realized. A clone???
That Binghe was actually Ye Xuan's clone? This meant that the Star River Empire's planetary ranking competition was entirely orchestrated by Ye Xuan. This also meant that Ye Xuan had deliberately lost the final battle.
"Very well!"
The three exchanged glances, and finally, their gazes fell upon Ye Xuan.
"As long as you can help us reach the peak of Rank 8 Great Emperor, we will surrender to you, and you will be the master of the Sinister Planet from now on!"
The three reached a consensus. They understood that on the Sinister Planet, they were the bosses, but outside the Sinister Planet, they were nothing.
The Star River Empire was vast, but also small. Beyond the Star River Empire, there were countless empires comparable to it, or even empires that could destroy it with a flip of their hands. This world was vast, and if given the chance, they did not want to live their entire lives on the Sinister Planet.
"This is simple."
Ye Xuan's voice fell. He flipped his right hand, and three pills appeared. These were indeed three [Emperor Breaking Pills]. He smiled faintly, "If you have the courage, swallow them."
Huh!!!
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Meng Tianfang and the other two exchanged glances, and finally, they all picked up the pills and swallowed them. They understood that if this person wanted to kill them, they would not survive a single move.
However, the three of them were unaware that this decision would change their lives forever.
