Yet, his title as the former Chief Holy Son provoked widespread resentment, particularly from Yan Ruyu and the Four Holy Sons of the sacred realm, who constantly schemed against him. Despite their efforts, Ye Chen overcame every challenge, humiliating them in the process. Months later, the Blazing Flame Sacred Realm—a rival power to Kunlun—sent a marriage delegation, with their Quasi-Holy Son seeking to wed Chu Yueli.

However, this victory caught the attention of the Blazing Flame Sovereign—who was revealed to be none other than the Demon Lord responsible for annihilating Ye Chen’s sect! Recognizing Ye Chen’s potential, the Demon Lord threatened to destroy Kunlun Sacred Realm unless Ye Chen surrendered the divine flame within him. At the brink of death, Ye Chen recalled his past and fully awakened his true power. He crushed the arrogant Demon Lord, avenging his sect and demoting all his former adversaries to lowly laborers."
