One Hetero Blood Demon King formed from chaotic will and blood aura seemed out of Ye Chen's league, and now a King that seemed to be several folds more powerful than the mantis blood demon had turned up as well. It really seemed like a dead end; neither could he escape, nor could he fight.
Of course, if Ye Chen sought Yuan Emperor's phantom, the problem could be easily solved. However, he was not willing to do that. If he were to seek Yuan Emperor's phantom at the face of every crisis, he would never be tempered. Yuan Emperor could help him for a while, but not forever. If he wished to seek power, he had to rely on himself. He could not pin his hopes on others.
"Even if it's nine deaths out of ten, I have to face it with my own strength. That's the path to breakthroughs. If it's completely hopeless, I can ask Yuan Emperor later."
