Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

A blood-curdling scream echoed ceaselessly between heaven and earth.

Mr. Yun’s eyes rolled back in his head as he nearly lost consciousness.

Not far away, Ye Chen watched the scene with an indifferent expression.

Just moments before, during his clash with Mr. Yun, he had hidden the Red Lotus Karma Fire within a phantom of mountains and rivers. As the phantom shattered, the fire was unleashed, successfully engulfing Mr. Yun.

The Red Lotus Karma Fire lived up to its name as one of the world’s peerless, wondrous flames. The moment it touched Mr. Yun, he lost all combat strength. His Divine Soul was being roasted in unbearable agony, and there was no way to escape it!

This test made it clear: even the slightest touch of the Red Lotus Karma Fire could ignite a raging inferno within a Cultivator’s Divine Soul.

If one were to secretly hide the Red Lotus Karma Fire within their techniques for a sneak attack, it would undoubtedly be the most insidious and terrifying move in the world!

”Damn you… My master… will not let you go…”

Mr. Yun struggled, kneeling in the void. His entire body convulsed violently in pain, a sight that made the onlookers’ hearts pound with terror.

This was especially true for Yu Hongjue. He had thought that with Mr. Yun’s help, dealing with Ye Chen and avenging his grandson would be a sure thing.

It wasn’t that he lacked confidence and dared not face Ye Chen himself.

In fact, Yu Hongjue had arrived here some time ago.

After all, Ye Chen had been in the secret realm for so long. To avenge his grandson, he had naturally arrived in the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain long ago, but had remained hidden the entire time.

He had previously witnessed Ye Chen’s terrifying display of power from a great distance, and he knew he was no match for the boy on his own.

That was why he had sought Mr. Yun’s help.

But no one had expected that even Mr. Yun from the Xuanwu Tribe would be unable to defeat a mere youth in the Primordial Mansion Realm!

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed such a thing was possible?

”If you want to be free of this pain, then you will tell me what I want to know. I’ll ask, you’ll answer. Understood?”

Ye Chen said calmly.

However, he suddenly froze.

Mr. Yun’s screams stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked over, and their expressions changed drastically.

Mr. Yun’s body was suddenly plummeting from the sky.

Ye Chen caught Mr. Yun’s body, his brow furrowed.

At this moment, was there even a trace of life left in Mr. Yun?

He had only intended to use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to torture Mr. Yun for a while before interrogating him for information.

He never expected the Red Lotus Karma Fire’s power to be so terrifying that it had burned Mr. Yun’s Divine Soul to nothing on the spot!

This had caught Ye Chen completely by surprise!

’After all, I’ve only just mastered this divine, worldly fire. For a moment, I completely misjudged its power…’

Ye Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

It was clear that Mr. Yun likely had many more secret treasures, spirit weapons, and other techniques he never got the chance to use.

A single touch of the Red Lotus Karma Fire had ended his life. He must have been full of resentment in his final moments!

Especially dying at the hands of a young man not yet twenty years old!

Ye Chen smoothly took Mr. Yun’s Storage Ring.

He sent his consciousness inside, casually sweeping his gaze over the contents of the Storage Ring, and couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

It seemed this Mr. Yun held a rather high position in the Xuanwu Tribe.

Otherwise, how could he have possessed so many valuable items?

In addition to common resources like low-grade and mid-grade Spirit Stones, Ye Chen also found several types of divine materials.

With these abundant divine materials, he could continue repairing his Profound Armor Combat Puppet!

At that point, restoring the Profound Armor Combat Puppet to a power comparable to the Divine Might Realm would only be a matter of time!

Since emerging from the secret realm in Kunlun Mountain, Ye Chen hadn’t used the Profound Armor Combat Puppet against any enemies.

For one, his own power had increased dramatically, and he wanted to test his abilities in real combat.

For another, in situations like this, the Profound Armor Combat Puppet’s strength simply couldn’t keep up anymore!

If he remembered correctly, the Profound Armor Combat Puppet could currently only contend with Cultivators at the Third or Fourth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

That level of power was far from enough in the recent series of battles, where it would have served as mere cannon fodder.

The only regrettable part was that Mr. Yun had died before Ye Chen could get the information he wanted out of him.

He couldn’t stop thinking about what Mr. Yun had said earlier!

’What exactly did that guy want from me?’

’If it’s about the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron, then without a doubt, the leader of the Xuanwu Tribe—the most mysterious and powerful force in the Black Triangle Zone—is most likely a creature of hell, similar to that Netherworld Emissary!’

’After all, I’ve never used the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron on any other occasion. The only one who could have spread the word that I possess it is that Netherworld Emissary, who must have told his accomplices.’

Ye Chen frowned slightly, a contemplative look in his eyes.

But if it wasn’t the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron, what could it be?

He certainly possessed many treasures, but which one could an expert from the Xuanwu Tribe sense from such a great distance, compelling them to travel all this way to take him back?

Ye Chen shook his head, not wanting to waste any more energy thinking about it.

It was useless to dwell on it now.

When he had time in the future, he would pay a personal visit to the Xuanwu Tribe in the Black Triangle Zone. Then the truth would be revealed!

While he was at it, he could also settle his grudges with the Black Tiger Tribe and the other major powers!

As for now…

Ye Chen’s gaze shifted to Yu Hongjue, who was not far off.

In that instant, Yu Hongjue felt a chill seep into his bones. Ye Chen’s indifferent gaze was like a sharp sword, making his skin tighten and his body prickle with pain!

’Run!’

At that moment, only a single thought remained in Yu Hongjue’s mind.

If Mr. Yun’s death hadn’t been so abrupt and left him stunned, he would have already been long gone!

As for avenging his grandson, that thought had been completely cast aside.

After all, if even Mr. Yun was no match for this youth, how could he possibly talk of revenge?

It was better to retreat first and plan for the long term!

However, against Yu Hongjue, Ye Chen would not hold back in the slightest.

He might have wanted to get information out of Mr. Yun, but Yu Hongjue… that old man was of no use to him. He might as well just kill him.

”Trying to run?”

Seeing Ye Chen charge with his sword, Mo Tianyun and Huo Qiguang moved at the perfect moment to intercept Yu Hongjue.

”All of you, get out of my way!!!”

The thought of that murderous fiend rapidly closing in from behind terrified Yu Hongjue out of his wits!

He frantically unleashed his God-Binding Rope. The chains swept out, carrying a boundless Divine Power. Its terrifying might was so great that even Mo Tianyun, an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, had to temporarily fall back, not daring to meet it head-on!
