Xiaojiu also flew down from Ye Chen's shoulder at this moment, transforming into a monolithic, thousand-foot-long azure giant bird, and directly gazed at Vice City Lord Wang.

"Lower God King, if you fight against Ye Chen, although Ye Chen will be seriously injured, you will definitely suffer severe injuries, and even death!" Xiaojiu spoke coldly to Vice City Lord Wang.

Faced with the intervention of Vice City Lord Wang, a Lower God King, although she knew she was no match for those of this realm, Xiaojiu still stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Chen.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiaojiu had noticed that although the attack of Vice City Lord Wang was terrifying, the technique was still at the True God level, perhaps Xiaojiu would not have spoken to Vice City Lord Wang so coldly, and would have launched her mightiest attack alongside Ye Chen against this Lower God King!

Seeing Ye Chen standing in the void with his flying sword hovering in front, and seeing that the little bird who had always been watching the scene on Ye Chen's shoulder had now turned into a monolithic azure bird.

All those watching the battle, members of the Zhou family, Martial Artists from Fallen Moon City in the void, finally realized that Ye Chen had not yet revealed his full killing force, and even now, he still had room to spare.

If Vice City Lord Wang, this Lower God King, decided to really battle with Ye Chen, Ye Chen would still be capable of resisting!

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhou Tianhao felt intense fluctuations in his heart.

He finally understood why his first ancestor had asked for Ye Chen, this youth, to come to their Zhou family. Ye Chen seemed to be limitless, always proving to be stronger than he previously showed!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yue, who was greatly shaken, instantly flew to Ye Chen's side and stood next to him as they both looked at Vice City Lord Wang.

Even though Zhou Yue knew that she could not be of any help to Ye Chen in a confrontation of this level, she couldn't help but want to stand with Ye Chen.

In the end, even all the members of the Zhou family stood behind Ye Chen, glaring at Vice City Lord Wang.

They were unwilling to let this youth, who had helped the Zhou family, face the oppression of a Lower God King alone.

At this moment, Vice City Lord Wang, who was blasted dozens of feet backwards by Ye Chen's strike, and who had even released the power of a Lower God King, suddenly withdrew his fighting strength.

His gaze was unprecedentedly clear as he looked at Ye Chen, "Young man, you are called Ye Chen, right? I have no intention of being your enemy. I only acted before to see that you had not yet fully unleashed your fighting strength, hence my probing attack."

But Ye Chen frowned as he looked at Vice City Lord Wang, "Such a test, causing misunderstandings, is not good."

Ye Chen had sensed that Vice City Lord Wang had not used his real killing power, and he could still withstand it, which is why he hadn't allowed his flying sword to self-destruct and carry out the mutually destructive act that could seriously injure or even kill a Lower God King.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen still expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Do not blame me, fellow Ye Chen," the Vice City Lord Wang in grey garments said with a gentle smile, his bright eyes directed at Ye Chen, "This act of mine was a last resort because I am looking for an assistant for our Lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City, the strongest assistant with True God-level combat power!"

"The Lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City?"

"The strongest assistant with True God-level combat power?"

Vice City Lord Wang's words made Ye Chen startle.

At that moment, Vice City Lord Wang continued to speak to Ye Chen, "I don't know if you have heard of 'Divine City Battle', but the person I am looking for is to represent Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Divine City Battle!"

...

A short while later, Vice City Lord Wang, with a satisfied smile, drifted away through the void.

And Ye Chen stood there in the void, stroking his chin, deep in thought.

From his conversation with Vice City Lord Wang, he finally understood why Vice City Lord Wang had probed him, and what exactly this Divine City Battle was about.

Turns out, the Divine City Battle involved a major event related to a peculiar ancient area of the Divine Kingdom's Southern Territory called "Nine Suns Ancient Land."

The Nine Suns Ancient Land is located on a part of the stellar mainland within the Divine Kingdom's Southern Territory and spans an even larger area than the land where Circulation of Heaven Divine City is situated.

Legend has it that the "Nine Suns Ancient Land" was left by a Heavenly Divine Venerable known as the Nine Suns Venerable.

What's more mysterious is that this ancient land has always been sealed, only opening every thousand years at a specific time.

Inside this ancient land, there are countless spiritual herbs and elixirs, as well as many cave dwellings and ancient relics left by the Nine Suns Venerable and his disciples.

Those who enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land even have the chance to find the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Elixir that can break through from Divine King to Divine Venerable, and Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifacts used by Divine Venerable Realm powerhouses!

And there are innumerable divine pills and marvelous medicines that can help True God Realm beings to face the heavenly tribulation!

Only those below the Divine Venerable Realm could enter when the Nine Suns Ancient Land was opened, for the mid-level Divine Venerables who wanted to enter would be repelled directly.

Heavenly Divine Venerables and Immortal Divine Venerables of the Divine Venerable Realm, as well as the Nine Suns Venerable who left behind this ancient land, were of the same level or even more formidable than the Nine Suns Venerable.

The treasures left in the ancient land by the Nine Suns Venerable were intended specifically for those at the True God and Divine King levels. These treasures were utterly useless to beings of the Heavenly Divine Venerable and Immortal Divine Venerable level.

Even if they had the power to break the prohibition and enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land, they wouldn't do so. Instead, they preferred to use this realm as a training ground for their juniors.

Thus, the Nine Suns Ancient Land became an exclusive and mysterious realm for True Gods and Divine Kings!

Of course, every time it was opened, it would trigger countless scrambles for entry. It attracted not only True Gods and Divine Kings from the Divine Kingdom's Southern Territory, but those from other realms of the Divine Kingdom rushed to the Nine Suns Ancient Land as well.

Under such circumstances, the powerful forces of the Divine Kingdom in the Southern Territory, like the Southern Territory Royal Mansion, could not possibly allow all True Gods and Divine Kings to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

Eventually, after dividing the interests, the Southern Territory Royal Mansion allotted just ten slots for Martial Artists at the Divine King Realm to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

At the same time, each major Divine City was granted ten slots for Martial Artists below the Divine King Realm to enter.

Of course, there were countless smaller Divine Cities in the Southern Territory, and cities like Circulation of Heaven Divine City did not have the opportunity to directly secure ten slots; they had to compete with seventeen other cities of the same level to vie for those ten slots through what was known as the Battle of the Divine Cities.

The Battle of the Divine Cities involved eighteen smaller Divine Cities, each sending three Martial Artists below the Divine King Realm to fight. The city that emerged victorious from among the eighteen would be entitled to the ten slots for entering the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

Although the lords of each minor Divine City, like the lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City, were at the Divine King Realm, they had no chance to obtain slots for entering the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

However, of course, every Divine City wanted those ten slots for Martial Artists below the Divine King Realm to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

After all, the lords of these Divine Cities had descendants and heirs to fight for these coveted slots.

Even if the Martial Artists from the minor Divine Cities could hardly compete with those from the major Divine Cities, let alone the ten Divine Kings sent by the Southern Territory, obtaining even a minor advantage in the Nine Suns Ancient Land would be immensely beneficial.

Moreover, this Battle of the Divine Cities would also showcase the foundation and strength of the minor Divine Cities, and could even attract attention from some powerful forces within the Divine Kingdom, so naturally, every small Divine City would fight with all their might.

Over the years, Circulation of Heaven Divine City had participated in hundreds of Battles of the Divine Cities and had only occasionally managed to defeat the other seventeen and secure ten slots.

In the last ten instances, they had not succeeded even once.

This made the lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City lose face.

The current lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City, who had taken office only in the past few centuries, definitely did not want this humiliation to continue.

He certainly wanted to snatch those ten slots for the Nine Suns Ancient Land in the Battle of the Divine Cities!

In such a situation, Circulation of Heaven Divine City began to seek out Martial Artists with formidable strength below the God King Realm.

It was in these circumstances that Vice City Lord Wang began to assess various powerful True Gods to find the three individuals who could assist the lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Battle of the Divine Cities.

Previously, Wei Mingtong obviously failed to catch Vice City Lord Wang's eye, but Ye Chen's miraculous performance truly dazzled him!

Vice City Lord Wang had observed the battles among Martial Artists in the minor Divine Cities during the Battle of the Divine Cities.

Vice City Lord Wang felt that if Ye Chen participated in the Battle of the Divine Cities, there was a high probability he could help Circulation of Heaven Divine City win a crucial battle!

Therefore, Vice City Lord Wang extended an earnest invitation to Ye Chen.

As for the Battle of the Divine Cities, where each minor Divine City sent three people to fight for ten slots, Ye Chen appeared indifferent.

However, the Nine Suns Ancient Land, which possessed all sorts of strange items and even had things that could enable True Gods and Divine Kings to break through, had somewhat moved Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was even more interested in witnessing the ten Divine King powerhouses sent by the Southern Territory, as well as the powerful True Gods from the various major Divine Cities of the Southern Territory.

When he heard that the Battle of the Divine Cities would take place in three months, and that the Nine Suns Ancient Land would open one month after the battle's conclusion, providing one month of exploration time, Ye Chen calculated that there was indeed enough time to participate in the exploration of the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

In the end, he agreed to go to Circulation of Heaven Divine City to see about the Battle of the Divine Cities.
