The Frog King stood at the forefront, the power emanating from the Ascension Token in his hand was nothing short of terrifying.
He had unleashed the strength of the Celestial Artifact to an extremely horrifying level, capable of delivering a Thunderous strike that could shake the ground at any moment.
In addition, his subordinates—the Seductive Fox Queen, Azure Phoenix, Lion Cang, Worm Queen, and the Four Great Demon Kings—also radiated an overwhelming pressure akin to a raging flood.
They were ready to strike at any moment.
The other beasts instantly erupted into chaos.
Roars of beasts echoed in a rising tide.
Seeing the beasts in turmoil, the Frog King was also ready to take action.
Wuma Changkong, Jin Shan, Baili Qinghong, Azure Wave Emperor, and Dugu Laomo—these Pinnacle of God-Slaying powerhouses—instantly stepped forward with their Ascension Tokens in hand, their expressions serious.
If there was to be a battle, then let it be.
In their view, if the Wanjin Dragon Emperor could suppress the Frog King outside with his terrifying strength, it would be better than allowing the Frog King to enter the Celestial Palace.
That would pose a true danger to them.
At least for now, even if a fight broke out, the Frog King would not face them directly; the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and the Four Ancestors would undoubtedly bear the brunt of it.
But once inside the Celestial Palace, everything would change.
For the sake of treasures, they might act independently; it was likely that even their own allies could not be fully trusted.
Noticing the tense atmosphere, Lang Sun Chuan turned to Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er and said, "Master, Miss Xian, once they engage in battle, it will be extremely violent. You must stay close to me."
The Pinnacle of God-Slaying's cultivation relied on fighting with the aid of Celestial Artifacts.
The power that erupted was terrifying, even a mere ripple of it could instill fear.
Although Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er were indeed powerful, in Lang Sun Chuan's eyes, they still paled in comparison to his own Late Stage of God Slaying cultivation.
Ye Fan cast a deep glance at the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and the Four Ancestors, saying, "Don't worry, there won't be a fight."
"A fight won't happen?" Lang Sun Chuan replied skeptically, "Master, with things being like this, how can there not be a fight?"
Ye Fan smiled but said nothing.
In Ye Fan's view, if a fight were truly to break out, it would have happened the moment the Frog King attempted to seize Yu Qingfeng's Ascension Token. At that time, the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and the Four Ancestors would have acted without hesitation.
They wouldn't have waited until now.
Jin Shan and Dugu Laomo's thoughts were naive. They believed that the Wanjin Dragon Emperor would simply deal with the Frog King outside before they joined forces to handle the Four Great Demon Kings under him.
Though the strength of the Four Great Demon Kings made them wary, holding the Ascension Token—a Celestial Artifact—along with their numerical advantage gave them confidence.
Did the Wanjin Dragon Emperor not understand their thoughts?
However, they had yet to enter the Celestial Palace of the Sky. Not to mention whether the Wanjin Dragon Emperor could handle the Frog King.
Even if it were possible, Ye Fan believed that it would likely be a stalemate.
Once the two sides erupted into a life-and-death battle, regardless of who won or lost, both would inevitably suffer severe injuries.
Injuries sustained after entering the Immortal Mansion would be absolutely fatal.
Therefore, whether it was the Wanjin Dragon Emperor, the Four Ancestors, or even the Frog King, none would act recklessly.
The Frog King displayed such dominance merely to let the Wanjin Dragon Emperor feel his strength, making her understand that once they engaged, the outcome was uncertain.
There was even a possibility of a mishap.
"Well, are we going to make a move?"
The Four Ancestors' eyes glinted coldly as he looked at the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and asked in a low voice.
He was a Super Divine Beast at the Late Stage of God Slaying.
However, his opponent was a Mutated Hunyuan Toad at the Pinnacle of God-Slaying, with the bloodline of an Ancient Fierce Beast coursing through its veins. It was also a mutated form and currently held the Immortal Artifact Ascension Order in its hand.
If they truly faced off, the Four Ancestors felt considerable apprehension in his heart.
"You go."
The Wanjin Dragon Emperor's expression remained unchanged, still exuding an air of aloofness as she calmly uttered two words.
Upon hearing this, the Four Ancestors' momentum instantly deflated as he replied, "Then let's forget it."
The Frog King wore a smile but said nothing, merely watching the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and the Four Ancestors with indifference.
In his hand, the Ascension Token continued to radiate an incredibly terrifying energy.
"With you included, there are three slots in total; that is my bottom line."
The Wanjin Dragon Emperor cast a deep glance at the Frog King and spoke calmly.
Although he had made a concession, he still exuded an overwhelming sense of authority.
The Frog King's subordinates, the Four Great Demon Kings, were not to be underestimated.
However, since the Frog King had already proposed to bring people inside, it would clearly be impossible not to grant even one spot.
Thus, the Wanjin Dragon Emperor decided to reduce the number by two.
"Deal."
Upon hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on the Frog King's face as he readily agreed.
"Lion Cang, Worm Queen," the Frog King called out.
"At your command," Lion Cang and Worm Queen quickly bowed in response.
"You two will lead all the beasts away and remain stationed in the Eastern Wilderness."
"Yes, Frog King."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lion Cang and Worm Queen's eyes, but they quickly concealed it and withdrew, issuing the Frog King's orders.
In an instant, all the beasts surged forth like a flood, scattering in all directions.
After commanding Lion Cang and Worm Queen to disperse the beast army, the Frog King smiled lightly at everyone and said, "Celestial Palace of the Sky, All Immortals Submit, Eastern Wilderness Secret Realm, Forbidden Grounds of All Demons. The Celestial Palace of the Sky is located within the Demon Forbidden Land; allow me to guide you all!"
The Wanjin Dragon Emperor furrowed his brows tightly and coldly stared at the Frog King. "How do you know this?"
This sentence is a message of intent within the Ascension Token, known only to those who possess the Ascension Token.
However, the Frog King not only knows where the Celestial Palace of the Sky is, but he also knows of this message's existence. Most importantly, he originally did not possess an Ascension Token.
Upon hearing this, Wuma Changkong and the others all turned their gazes toward the Frog King.
The Frog King instilled a deep sense of dread in them with his power, and he exuded an air of mystery.
At that moment, Lang Sun Chuan was somewhat stunned, realizing that it was indeed as Ye Fan had speculated; they were unable to fight.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the Frog King smiled and said, "To be honest, I was originally the master of the ninth Ascension Token. I have spent countless hours lifting the Restrictions on it, which is why I know all this."
"However, having only one Ascension Token does me no good if I cannot gather all ten to enter the Immortal Mansion. Therefore, I spent some more time re-sealing it and then cast it into the Eastern Wilderness."
After speaking, the Frog King's gaze turned toward the people of Sky Edge Pavilion.
Nangong Xuandie stood up at this point, revealing a look of realization as she said, "No wonder when we obtained the Ascension Token back then, although the Restrictions on it were complex, it wasn't too difficult to unravel!"
The Ascension Token held by Sky Edge Pavilion was indeed the ninth one that the Frog King had cast into the Eastern Wilderness.
