Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

”The Saint Heir... the Saint Heir is dead?!”

Watching Li Feng’s body slump to the ground.

Once the disciples processed what had happened, their faces paled in shock.

”He killed the Saint Heir!”

”But... how is that possible?! Wasn’t his cultivation already crippled?”

In an instant, terrified gazes from all around converged on Ye Chen.

After casually crushing Li Feng to death, Ye Chen’s gaze swept over the other disciples.

”Today, only one will survive: the Luoyun Sect or me, Ye Chen!”

Ye Chen’s killing intent surged, and boundless Evil Qi erupted from his body!

The surrounding temperature plummeted. The sweltering summer day seemed to instantly transform into the dead of winter.

’What a terrifying aura! Could it be... could it be that Ye Chen’s cultivation was never crippled? Was he pretending this whole time?’

After realizing this, an expression of utter terror appeared on all the disciples’ faces.

One must remember that Ye Chen, as the former Saint Heir, possessed the Chaos Five Elements Body. His talent was second to none!

Furthermore, because the sect planned to use his bones and blood for Alchemy, they had poured nearly half their resources into nurturing him!

At his Peak, Ye Chen’s combat prowess rivaled that of the Grand Elder, and even the Luoyun Sect’s Sect Leader!

How could these useless gluttons possibly be a match for him?

”Run! Run for your lives!”

A fatal sense of crisis filled everyone’s heart.

He had killed Li Feng, the Saint Heir, without a second thought. It was obvious Ye Chen no longer had any scruples.

They turned and fled, wanting only to get as far away as possible from this youth whose Evil Qi blotted out the sky.

However, Ye Chen merely flicked a finger. A wisp of Evil Qi, so dense it was almost tangible, shot out from his fingertip.

Like a bolt of silk, the Evil Qi pierced straight through the bodies of more than a dozen disciples!

They were skewered together like candied fruit on a stick. As the Evil Qi roiled, their flesh corroded rapidly, leaving nothing but dried skeletons in the blink of an eye.

”Wh-what kind of technique is that?”

”When has our Luoyun Sect ever had such a depraved art? These are the methods of the Demon Dao!”

The gruesome manner of their deaths left everyone horrified beyond words.

They felt that the Ye Chen before them had become a complete stranger.

Ye Chen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as he casually slaughtered over a dozen Luoyun Sect disciples.

He circulated the ”Demon God’s World-Shaking Record” without restraint. Boundless Evil Qi transformed into countless, densely packed beams of energy, hunting down the Luoyun Sect disciples as they scattered and fled.

In an instant, amidst splattering blood, one living person after another was reduced to a desiccated corpse, collapsing limply to the ground.

”Ye... Senior Brother Ye, don’t kill us! We’ve been fellow disciples for years!”

”That’s right, Senior Brother Ye! It was the Grand Elder and the others who moved against you! It has nothing to do with us!”

All the disciples were petrified by Ye Chen’s methods, scared out of their wits.

In their eyes, the Ye Chen of this moment seemed to have transformed into a terrifying Demon God as tall as a mountain.

Beneath that boundless might, they couldn’t even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

”No one in the Luoyun Sect is innocent!”

”Today, I will bathe this sect in blood!”

Ye Chen, drenched in blood, wore a terrifyingly icy expression.

Before long, every disciple present had been turned into a desiccated corpse, scattered outside the medicinal garden.

Draining the life force of so many disciples, Ye Chen felt a sudden wave of pleasure.

It was as if every cell in his body was groaning in ecstasy.

The Evil Qi suffusing the Spiritual Power flowing within him seemed to have grown even denser.

’Next, I have to go rescue Tongtong!’

’After that, I’ll kill every single person in the Luoyun Sect!’

A chilling glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

His figure flashed, and he shot toward the dungeons located in a corner of the Luoyun Sect.

That was the place the Luoyun Sect used to imprison criminals.

Many depraved cultivators and members of the Demon Dao were held there.

If Qin Ruotong was also locked up there, she would likely be in grave danger!

”Hm?”

”Ye Chen!?”

”You little bastard, how did you sneak out of the medicinal garden! Do you want me to drag you back?”

Just then, the Luoyun Sect’s Fifth Elder was passing by. Seeing Ye Chen, his brow furrowed, and he barked sharply.

However, Ye Chen merely gave him a cold glance before striking down with his palm.

A monstrous wave of Evil Qi seemed to coalesce out of thin air into a giant palm, crashing down with unparalleled might!

”What?”

”Th-this power...”

”Your cultivation wasn’t crippled?!”

The Fifth Elder only had time to let out a cry of utter horror.

Then, he was slapped into a pile of gore on the spot.

The huge commotion spread in all directions, alarming many people.

Many disciples and Elders from other parts of the sect began to gather.

When they saw the indifferent Ye Chen and the corpse that had been reduced to a pile of mush before him, their faces all changed drastically!

”Those are the Fifth Elder’s clothes!”

”Ye Chen, you dare commit murder in public within the Luoyun Sect?!”

The crowd looked on, shocked and disbelieving.

Leaving aside the sheer audacity of Ye Chen’s actions, hadn’t his cultivation already been crippled?

How had he managed to kill the Fifth Elder?

”Commit murder in public?”

”You can come question me about my crimes in the underworld!”

Ye Chen let out a long laugh as Evil Qi erupted from his body.

’Since so many pests have shown up, I might as well kill them all before I go to the dungeons for Qin Ruotong!’

”This is the aura of the Demon Dao!”

”Ye Chen, you’ve fallen to the demonic path!”

From the crowd, three Elders stepped forward together, their expressions grave.

The aura coming from Ye Chen was terrifying. Even with the three of them combined, they felt immense pressure.

’Fallen to the demonic path?’

’Could it be... Ye Chen has become a Demon Cultivator?’

’No wonder his cultivation is restored. It’s because he has succumbed to his inner demons!’

Realization dawned on the crowd, and expressions of contempt appeared on their faces.

As members of a righteous and prestigious sect, they looked down on Demon Cultivators more than anyone.

They only knew how to use all sorts of depraved and crooked methods to enhance their cultivation.

Looking at the mocking and contemptuous expressions on their faces, Ye Chen’s heart first turned cold, and then a vast, surging rage erupted like a volcano.

”I fell to the Demon Dao, and isn’t it all thanks to you?!”

”But in my eyes, your actions are ten thousand times more despicable than any Demon Dao!”

Ye Chen’s gaze was frigid. A monstrous wave of Evil Qi swept out from him like a surging river, pressing down on the crowd.

”Such a powerful Demon Dao aura!”

”Ye Chen, could it be you joined the Demon Dao long ago and were just hiding, lying dormant within our Luoyun Sect?”

The three Elders’ faces changed drastically. They shouted with self-righteous indignation, ”It seems our Luoyun Sect was performing an act of exorcism when we took your blood and bones and crippled your cultivation!”

”Now your disguise has finally been torn away! Your true nature is exposed!”

Ye Chen remained silent. His eyes were cold as he manipulated the Evil Qi, reaping the lives of the crowd.

This group of hypocrites before him was utterly nauseating.

He couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. He would just slaughter them.

The current Ye Chen’s strength was at the Sixth Layer of the Blood Condensation realm!

Among those present, even the three Elders were only at the Fifth Layer of the Blood Condensation realm. How could they possibly be his match?

Amidst heart-wrenching screams, it wasn’t long before only scattered limbs and mangled torsos remained on the field.

Not a trace of life was left.
