Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The rain washed down, and amidst the pools of blood on the ground, the figure of the Yan family’s ancestor looked exceptionally wretched.

In the oppressive silence, he struggled to push himself up, his cloudy eyes staring at the distant Ye Chen in disbelief.

”You...”

Before he could even speak, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, drenching the front of his robes.

”Ancestor!”

Not far away, the Yan family Patriarch, Yan Zhenfang, called out weakly.

The Yan family’s ancestor immediately sensed something was wrong. He whipped his head around, his expression changing dramatically.

The once-vast Yan family estate had been utterly obliterated!

Only Yan Zhenfang, by virtue of the Clan Protection Array’s power, had managed to cling to a sliver of life.

All the other members of the Yan family, without exception, had perished!!!

The appalling sight made the Yan family’s ancestor’s eyes fly wide. His blood boiled with such rage that he nearly spat out another mouthful of it!

’This boy... he’s more vicious than a demon!’

’He must die... He must die!!!’

The onlookers had long been frightened speechless.

With his power alone, Ye Chen had not only severely wounded the Yan family’s ancestor—an expert of the Primordial Mansion Realm—but had also wiped out the entire Yan family, leaving almost no survivors.

’His methods were cruel, but his strength... isn’t it just too absurd?’

’Is this really just a teenager?’

Liu Kunlun and the others were equally dumbfounded.

Liu Yuchan’s lips trembled, and he could no longer remain calm. ”Father, it seems I’ve still underestimated Master Ye.”

”Not only are his alchemy skills unmatched in Lei Province, but his strength... is likely at the very peak of the province as well!”

”He’s so young! How in the world did he manage it!”

Liu Kunlun took a deep breath, struggling to suppress his inner turmoil.

He spoke with a grave expression, ”Making an enemy of this young man would truly be a nightmare.”

”Thank goodness the Liu family wasn’t dragged into this!”

Meanwhile, Chen Jue didn’t know whether to be thrilled or horrified.

’To have brought such a figure to the Treasure Pavilion’s side... my luck is just too good!’

BOOM!

Just then, a tremendous roar shook the earth.

Everyone looked toward the sound, only to see that the Great Battle Buddha had, at some point, transformed into a giant of golden light!

His massive body, like a small mountain, loomed before them. A vast, ocean-like aura emanated from him, inspiring immense fear!

’This boy is rather uncanny!’

’Looks like I can’t hold back any longer!’

He stared at Ye Chen with a grave expression, his fighting spirit soaring. He had completely cast aside any trace of his earlier disdain.

’That martial technique he used earlier was simply miraculous, as if divinely crafted and containing its own profound principles.’

’I’ve traveled far and wide for many years and seen plenty of martial arts techniques of the Fifth, Sixth, and even higher grades.’

’But none of them could unleash such terrifying power.’

’Annihilating the Yan family and severely wounding their ancestor in a single move!’

’Even I might not be able to accomplish that!’

The Great Battle Buddha’s voice boomed like thunder. ”Boy, how about you trade a few blows with me?”

Hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head and chuckled. ”Let’s not waste any more time.”

”All three of you, just come at me together.”

As soon as he said this, the crowd erupted in an uproar!

The Li family’s ancestor and Grand Commander Lei Kuang both frowned, a sharp killing intent glinting in their eyes!

They prided themselves on being Primordial Mansion Realm experts and were unwilling to attack a junior simultaneously, as it would be beneath their status and a loss of face.

But now, hearing such arrogant words from Ye Chen, they were tempted to agree on the spot.

It was just that Ye Chen’s prior performance had been far too astonishing!

”This is no time to be arrogant!”

”Attack him together! Or do you want to end up like me, repeating the same mistake?”

The Yan family’s ancestor roared.

At his words, the expressions of the Li family’s ancestor and Lei Kuang turned grave, but they didn’t reply verbally.

Instead, they both took a step forward in unison, their auras erupting as they clearly prepared to strike!

Their actions were their answer to the Yan family’s ancestor!

In an instant, the terrifying pressure of three Primordial Mansion Realm experts bore down on Ye Chen like a towering mountain range!

If Ye Chen hadn’t been standing in front of him, the Nine-Fingered Demon Slaughter would have likely coughed up blood and been crushed to the ground by the sheer pressure.

’The Primordial Mansion Realm represents the most powerful tier of Cultivators in Lei Province.’

’Now that I’ve formed a golden Spiritual Sea, my combat strength has clearly reached that same level!’

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, his fighting spirit surging. ’Today, I’ll really get to stretch my legs!’

Facing the pressure from three Primordial Mansion Realm experts, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced, taking the initiative to strike!

BOOM!

Under a sea of astonished gazes, Ye Chen shot toward the Great Battle Buddha like a wisp of smoke.

The moment he landed, he threw a punch. The golden Spiritual Sea churned behind him, and the Spiritual Qi in the air roiled violently!

”Nice one!”

The Great Battle Buddha roared, his entire body erupting with golden light!

Ye Chen seemed tiny before him, but the giant showed not a hint of complacency. His massive fist, powered by his full strength, came crashing down toward Ye Chen!

The air in its path shattered, letting out a series of ear-piercing sonic booms.

BOOM!

As their fists collided, an invisible shockwave instantly radiated outward.

Ye Chen’s expression remained placid, though his figure trembled slightly.

The Great Battle Buddha, however, staggered back several steps as if he’d taken a heavy blow.

Each step he took landed with astonishing force, cracking the earth and sending up clouds of dust and debris!

’The Monks of Vajra Temple specialize in tempering their physical bodies. This Great Battle Buddha, in particular, has likely cultivated his Adamantine Body to the point of perfection!’

Ye Chen’s expression flickered, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Even though he had formed a golden Spiritual Sea, making his Spiritual Power incredibly pure and astonishingly potent, clashing head-on with the Great Battle Buddha’s physical strength still affected him significantly, causing the golden Spiritual Sea behind him to churn violently.

’I reached the pinnacle during the Blood Condensation stage, and I formed the incredibly rare golden Spiritual Sea when I broke through to the Spiritual Sea realm.’

’Only the Bone Forging Realm... it seems I didn’t cultivate that stage to its absolute limit!’

’The Bone Forging Realm specializes in tempering the physical body! It’s precisely this missing step that’s left my body no different from an ordinary person’s, giving me no significant physical advantage!’

Ye Chen frowned slightly. ’It seems I’ll have to put in more effort to perfect my foundation.’

However, with his current combat strength, handling the present situation was more than enough!

Just as Ye Chen was lost in thought, the Li family’s ancestor suddenly lashed out from nearby, attacking him!

The combat prowess Ye Chen had displayed was shocking. To prevent any unforeseen complications, they could no longer afford to worry about their reputations.

’We have to take him down with lightning speed. That’s the only way!’

”Thunderbolt Palm!!!”

Meanwhile, seeing his chance, Lei Kuang also attacked Ye Chen in perfect concert.

His entire body seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, and in an instant, he was right beside Ye Chen!
