Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

”What a terrifying explosion!”

”Judging by the look of things, that old fiend didn’t manage to suppress Ye Chen on the spot?”

Outside the mountain where Vajra Temple stood, the Mansion Lord appeared like a phantom.

His brow furrowed as he stared grimly into the distance.

The sky above Vajra Temple was already filled with a kaleidoscope of brilliant light, as if two terrifying, world-shaking beings were clashing with all their might!

’If that’s really the case, then this just got interesting.’

As time went on, experts from various factions gathered outside Vajra Temple’s main gate.

When they witnessed the fierce battle raging above, their eyes widened in utter shock.

As shockwaves rippled through the sky, Ye Chen’s figure emerged, enveloped in golden light.

His expression was frigid as he stumbled back several steps in midair, looking like he was about to fall.

Meanwhile, the Abbot had transformed into a golden giant that straddled the heavens. Billowing golden flames surged around him; he had cultivated his Indestructible Vajra Body to the pinnacle of perfection!

Anyone could see that in their exchange of blows, Ye Chen was at a disadvantage!

”You’re no match for me. Surrender now, and I might grant you a swift end.”

The Abbot spoke slowly, his words punctuated by a spray of golden-crimson flame.

The surrounding air seemed to melt away from the staggering temperature.

”You think you’re worthy?”

Ye Chen sneered, unleashing the full power of his Third-Layer Spirit Sea Realm cultivation.

”Like a mayfly trying to shake a tree—you overestimate yourself!”

The Abbot snorted, and the terrifying might of his Fifth-Layer Primordial Mansion Realm instantly bore down!

Although a golden Spiritual Sea was a one-in-ten-thousand rarity with unparalleled, terrifying might, under the absolute suppression of his cultivation, the gap in the quality of their Spiritual Seas was largely nullified.

BOOM!

A pillar of crimson flame, wreathed in a golden glow, erupted from the Abbot’s mouth and surged toward Ye Chen, threatening to engulf him.

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged. He threw a punch, and the golden Flame before him instantly shattered into a shower of sparks.

”Your cultivation is weak. If you keep this up, it’s only a matter of time before you collapse!”

The Abbot’s voice was raspy. His golden form radiated a brilliant, sacred light, like a colossal golden judge passing sentence on the guilty!

BOOM!

He reached for Ye Chen with both hands, moving so fast they left two streaks of golden light in their wake.

”You needn’t trouble yourself.”

Ye Chen stepped forward, his own fists flying to meet the Abbot’s attack.

In contrast, Ye Chen’s figure seemed incredibly small, like an insignificant speck of dust amidst the boundless golden light.

And yet, his presence was no less imposing!

The golden Spiritual Sea roiled behind him, and the three Spirit-Gathering Arrays carved from Spirit Crystals on his body greedily devoured the Spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth, pouring it into him.

Even the Abbot couldn’t help but be moved by the power Ye Chen displayed.

”No matter how many tricks you have, two fists are no match for four!”

”How will you counter this?”

A sneer flashed across the Abbot’s face.

His massive golden body suddenly began to writhe.

From his back, two more burly arms sprouted!

This bizarre scene left the experts watching from outside utterly stunned.

Even the Monks of Vajra Temple themselves wore expressions of disbelief.

Was this some kind of three-headed, six-armed Divine Technique?

Even they had never seen the Abbot use such an ability.

After sprouting two new arms, the Abbot’s body stopped writhing.

His original arms were locked in place by Ye Chen’s fists, but his new arms took advantage of the stalemate to launch another attack!

He aimed straight for Ye Chen’s vital spots!

The enormous palms shot forward, carrying a terrifying force!

At that moment, pinned by the Abbot, Ye Chen had no way to dodge.

A single blow from those hands would surely smash his head to pieces!

Just when everyone thought the young Demon God was about to be slain, a streak of light shot out from within Ye Chen, hovering before him!

An ancient, boundless aura radiated outward, as if a creature from a bygone era had awakened. The terrifying ripple of power made the expressions of countless experts present change dramatically!

”What is that ripple of power?” The sudden turn of events made many exclaim in shock.

Only the Mansion Lord’s eyes narrowed. He was all too familiar with that wisp of an aura.

’Wasn’t this the very treasure he had fought the Abbot for when he first came to Vajra Temple?’

BOOM!

A simple, ancient Token emitted a terrifying power, stopping the Abbot’s second pair of arms dead in their tracks.

”Is that the Ancient God Order?!”

The Abbot’s eyes twitched, a hint of greed flashing across his face.

”I never thought you would have actually refined the Ancient God Order.”

He was shocked, but he had no time to dwell on it.

Surging golden flames erupted from the Abbot’s body once more as he exerted his strength, trying to seize the Ancient God Order.

However, a cold look flashed across Ye Chen’s face.

”Cangming Sword!”

He threw back the Abbot’s arms with his fists. Then, a terrifying Sword Qi instantly filled the air.

Within a swirling vortex of Sword Qi, Ye Chen gripped the Cangming Sword, preparing to play his strongest trump card.

The Abbot’s strength was undeniably terrifying.

’If this drags on, with his terrifying foundation as a Fifth-Layer Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator, I’ll be the one to lose sooner or later.’

”This is... Sword Intent?!”

Sensing the change in Ye Chen’s aura, all the experts present cried out in disbelief.

No one could have imagined it.

This monstrous prodigy, who had appeared out of nowhere like a Demon God, was also a Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent!

Such cultivation talent was practically unheard of!

At least within the vast expanse of Lei Province, Ye Chen’s talent was second to none.

No wonder he could fight above his realm and defeat so many powerful foes. No wonder he could now contend with the Abbot of Vajra Temple!

The Abbot’s expression also grew solemn.

Though he had seen Ye Chen use a sword before, he still didn’t dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

If a cultivator at the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm was, in his eyes, an insignificant opponent he could crush at will, then a Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent was more than capable of threatening him.

Even with his level of cultivation, he would never want to make an enemy of a Sword Cultivator with such terrifying talent.

If not for the blood feud between them, which had long since reached the point of life and death, he might have actually considered quelling this conflict and recruiting Ye Chen into Vajra Temple.

The blade of the Cangming Sword trembled, letting out a clear, sonorous hum.

Then, Ye Chen swung his sword. A peerlessly sharp streak of Sword Qi shot toward the Abbot like a meteor chasing the moon!
