Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

It all happened so fast that many people hadn’t even had time to react.

The crowd only caught a glimpse of a sword light from the corner of their eyes. In the next instant, the vast and mighty pressure of the Evil Qi was brutally torn apart. The arm that the Stealing Heart Old Demon was reaching for Ye Chen with was severed clean in half.

Light green blood flowed down from the wound. Staring at the withered half of his arm on the ground, the Stealing Heart Old Demon was momentarily stunned.

’I was actually injured?’

’And by a single sword strike, no less. I didn’t even have time to react.’

Ye Chen slowly raised the Cangming Sword. The tip of the blade glinted with a cold light, and his gaze was as sharp as a razor, sweeping indifferently toward the Stealing Heart Old Demon.

”If you want to devour my flesh and blood, you’ll have to see if you have what it takes.”

A vast Sword Intent surged like a monstrous wave, seeming powerful enough to overturn the dark clouds blanketing the sky!

Everyone looked at Ye Chen in horror. Only then did they realize that it was Ye Chen who had just attacked!

”It’s just as the rumors said. His realm may be ordinary, but his combat power is terrifying!”

Thunder Absolute Immortal’s pupils shrank. He fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, his heart filled with shock and uncertainty.

The moment Ye Chen had drawn his sword, a premonition of danger had instantly enveloped him. Fortunately, the target of Ye Chen’s strike wasn’t him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten off as easily as the Stealing Heart Old Demon, who had merely lost half an arm.

After his moment of shock, the Stealing Heart Old Demon finally came to his senses. His eyes glinted with a cold light as he stared at Ye Chen.

”Kid, I seem to have underestimated you.”

When the Dragon Prison Cave opened, powerful figures from all over had gathered. As evil cultivators, it was naturally impossible for them to show themselves at such a time.

Therefore, the two of them hadn’t witnessed Ye Chen’s great display of power. At most, they had only learned bits and pieces about him from Thunder Absolute Immortal.

To deal with Ye Chen, Thunder Absolute Immortal had specifically invited the two of them to provide support, promising them some absolutely delicious flesh and blood to savor. While passing by the Demon Gate, they had seen Ye Chen from a distance.

His vigorous qi and blood, that surging life force—it was indeed an unparalleled delicacy, unforgettable after a single glance.

The Three Corpses Venerable at the side also showed a look of surprise and doubt, his voice hoarse as he said, ”He hasn’t even broken through to the Primordial Mansion Realm, yet his Swordsmanship is so fierce! Truly, heroes rise from the young.”

”But it’s precisely because he is so extraordinary that he is so coveted, isn’t it?”

Hearing this, the Stealing Heart Old Demon let out a sinister cackle. ”Well said.”

”If you think this is enough to make the two of us back down, that’s just wishful thinking.”

As he laughed, the wound on his severed arm suddenly began to writhe violently, as if something was about to burst out from within.

Then, under everyone’s horrified gazes, he shockingly grew a new arm!

The new arm fused perfectly with the stump. With a squirming of flesh and blood, his wound was completely healed.

It was as if he had never been injured at all.

”Kid, since you’re no weakling, I won’t play around with you anymore.”

The Stealing Heart Old Demon’s aura was still surging like a tide, not weakened in the slightest. His pupils, glinting with a sinister green light, stared eerily at Ye Chen.

His answer was a soul-shaking flash of sword light.

Although the Stealing Heart Old Demon and the Three Corpses Venerable had both reached the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm and were astonishingly powerful, why would Ye Chen take them seriously?

Using unorthodox methods to raise one’s cultivation was certainly fast and even addictive, but by the same token, their foundations were loose and unstable—hardly worth mentioning!

Evil cultivators were such a group. Their cultivation levels were generally higher than ordinary Cultivators, but compared to Cultivators of the same realm, their foundations were pathetically poor.

Even a prodigy at the Peak of Primordial Mansion Realm like the Undying Demon Lord, whose foundations were comparable to a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, was no match for Ye Chen.

Let alone these two evil cultivators at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm!

The sword light was as cold and clear as water, like a brilliant line that could split the heavens and the earth, cleaving straight toward the Stealing Heart Old Demon!

The Stealing Heart Old Demon’s expression changed instantly. He roared in a mix of shame and anger, ”Fine, fine! Since you’re so determined to court death, I don’t need to hold back either!”

He never imagined that this young Cultivator, who hadn’t even reached the Primordial Mansion Realm, would dare to take the initiative and attack. His arrogance knew no bounds!

The Stealing Heart Old Demon’s withered body suddenly began to swell. His entire frame seemed to transform into a giant, fleshy tumor. Countless streams of dark green fluid flowed from his seven orifices, a truly horrifying sight.

The Cultivators from both the Lei family and the Liu family hastily retreated, getting far away from the area.

They couldn’t possibly interfere in a battle between Primordial Mansion Realm experts! If they were caught in the crossfire, the casualties would be catastrophic!

”Break for me!”

The Stealing Heart Old Demon let out a harsh, hoarse roar. A vast green light surged forth from the fleshy tumor, transforming into an overwhelming river tide that crashed down upon the incoming sword light.

BOOM!

However, to everyone’s astonishment, that immensely powerful and unimaginably vast attack was as fragile as paper before the flash of sword light.

The sky-filling green light was instantly torn apart. The sword light, its power undiminished, struck the fleshy tumor, creating a shocking explosion!

”AHH—”

The Stealing Heart Old Demon’s face twisted as he let out a miserable shriek. A large chunk of his flesh was sliced off by the sword light, but as the dark green blood churned, new flesh quickly grew back to fill the gap.

”Kid, you can’t kill me!”

The methods of evil cultivators were strange and bizarre. As the fleshy tumor writhed, waves of a foul stench spread out, causing many to furrow their brows with looks of horror in their eyes.

”Is that so?”

”Then let’s see how many of my strikes you can take!”

Ye Chen’s expression was indifferent, his eyes as placid as an ancient well. It was as if he didn’t even register the Stealing Heart Old Demon’s presence.

He brandished the Cangming Sword, and layer upon layer of sword light transformed into a sky full of sword shadows that swept out to cover everything!

The Stealing Heart Old Demon’s face changed. He seemed to sense an intense threat. He began muttering strange incantations as a powerful green light enveloped him. From within the writhing ball of flesh, countless large hands shot out, slapping straight toward Ye Chen.

However, amid the sky full of sword light, all the large hands were severed, the shrouding green light was destroyed, and chunks of flesh were continuously sliced off the tumor.

Although new flesh was constantly growing back, how could the speed of regeneration possibly compare to the speed at which Ye Chen swung his sword?

”Three Corpses, how long are you going to wait? Are you waiting to see me made a fool of?”

The Stealing Heart Old Demon felt immense pressure. Although his flesh was still growing back, his life force was rapidly draining away. He was finding it hard to hold on.

Just then, the Three Corpses Venerable, who had been standing at the side, finally made his move.
