While everyone was distracted by Ye Han and the Great Elder, more and more Heavenly Celestials kept stepping out of the Spatial Portal.
With everyone distracted, Xu Shan took the opportunity to step inside the Royal City. However, this time, he didn't try to catch any attention.
He walked calmly, trying to avoid any Warriors of the Sky Dynasty. However, even if he came across any, he simply killed them and got rid of their bodies, since they were nothing compared to what he faced outside the entrance.
As Xu Shan was walking toward the Royal Palace of the Sky Dynasty, he sensed an aura that was as strong as the aura of his father, flaring up from the direction of the Royal Palace.
Multiple Generals of the First Army flew out of the Palace, getting information about the attack outside the city. However, they weren't alone!
When Xu Shan looked up, he saw the Emperor's figure fly past him. The Emperor was personally taking action.
Even though Xu Shan expected something like this, it was soon too soon. He couldn't help but wonder if Ye Han was going to be able to buy more time.
Now that most of the Heavenly Celestials left to take care of the intruders outside, only a rare few powerful people were left back inside the Royal Palace.
A powerful barrier was erected around the Royal Palace, but it wasn't even close to the strength that the Celestial Palace had.
Moreover, this barrier used Celestial Energy to work. And Celestial Energy was nothing more than food for Xu Shan.
Xu Shan placed his hand on the barrier, slowly devouring the energy of the barrier.
As the energy of the barrier was devoured, an opening appeared in the barrier where Xu Shan had touched.
He passed through the opening, getting across the barrier. Now there was nothing standing between him and the Royal Palace.
He patted his clothes, as if he was irritated that some dust had gathered on his clothes.
"Sky Dynasty... A fool's paradise... Let's get the game started..."
Firmly holding his dagger, he stepped inside the Palace.
For the next ten minutes, there were no sounds coming from inside. There was not a single scream. However, if one were to enter the Palace, they would've found multiple bodies of the guards neatly lying on the ground, as if they were killed without even having a chance to scream.

Back outside the Royal City, Ye Han still maintained a smile, even though there were some deep Sword wounds on his chest.
It was as if he was a person who lived for the battlefield! This was the place where he felt truly comfortable.
It didn't take long before he sensed a burst of powerful auras approaching him. It was clear to him as to who was coming to welcome him.
"To think that they give so much importance to us."
He glanced in the direction where Xu Shan had left. "In any case, since he isn't here now, I guess I can use a little..."
Ye Han's aura flared as well. His eyes turned into a darker shade of red. It was as if his aura was blazing around his body.
The aura didn't appear to belong to a Sky Celestial either! If anything, it was much closer to the aura of the Emperor of the Sky Dynasty.
If Xu Shan was here, he would've been stunned to see Ye Han possess so much strength.
Even the Great Elder of Celestial Palace was stunned! He couldn't make sense of it! Was Ye Han using some forbidden skill to increase his strength temporarily at heavy cost for him in the future? Or was he always this strong and had hidden his strength in the past?
He had always wondered why a Sky Celestial was so famous in all the Ancient Dynasties, but he finally understood to some extent. Ye Han was strong... It was an understatement.
In the back, the Spatial Portal was almost completed. However, at that moment, a bright beam of energy came from the direction of the Sky Emperor, destroying everything in its path!
Even an ordinary Heavenly Celestial couldn't defend themselves. They could only avoid this attack, if they didn't want to die. However, if Ye Han dodged, it was going to mean that the Portal was going to be destroyed!
In any case, Ye Han wasn't interested in dodging the attack as well. His blood red eyes revealed even more craze.
He raised his Sword, which was covered in blood red flames, slashing down.
The Sword aura burst forth from the blade, forming a blazing vortex. It collided with the destructive energy head-on, causing a deafening explosion that shook the heavens and the earth.
The two forces clashed for an instant, and then the energy wave swept across the sky with an unstoppable momentum. Ye Han was like a demon god, fighting fiercely against the Sky Emperor's wrath.
Even the Sky Emperor revealed a look of shock, as he looked blankly at Ye Han.
"Who are you?!" He asked, grimly. "You... You aren't a Heavenly Celestial. You are..."
Ye Han's devilish smirk widened. It gave the Sky Emperor a really bad feeling about this.
Even the Great Elder was looking at Ye Han in a daze. Just who was this young man really? Why was the Sky Emperor stunned?
As each second passed, the Sky Emperor's face became paler and paler. Unfortunately, even he knew that there was no running back.
If he escaped, even if he succeeded, the Sky Dynasty was going to be destroyed! Moreover, it was even more dangerous for him to run, since he was attacked from behind, he couldn't protect himself that well.
The other Generals of the Sky Dynasty also looked in confusion. They knew how strong their Emperor's attack was! Even the Eternal Emperor wouldn't have been able to deal with it so easily. So how was this young man able to do it? Just who really was he?!
