Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

BOOM!

With a deafening crash, the Wolf Demon was smashed so hard it saw stars, utterly dazed and disoriented.

In front of everyone, Ye Chen simply grabbed the massive Wolf Demon with his bare hands, lifted it high into the air, and slammed it down again.

He repeated this motion over and over until fine cracks webbed across the ground, which soon gave way to a massive crater.

The crowd stood frozen in place like statues, staring blankly at the scene.

They were practically dumbstruck!

When had they ever seen such a savage youth?

He was like a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, easily subduing a Wolf Demon at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm and mauling it until it was nearly unrecognizable!

’Is this really just an ordinary person with no cultivation?’

Even Li Hong was stunned.

Although he knew Ye Chen’s combat prowess was extraordinary, he had never imagined him to be *this* powerful.

A Wolf Demon at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm couldn’t even take a single blow from him.

’Is he even human?’

”Is it dead?”

After repeating the motion countless times, Ye Chen finally stopped and leisurely looked down at the Wolf Demon.

By now, the Wolf Demon’s aura was incredibly faint. Its body was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, its skin split open, and it had long since fallen unconscious.

It probably never would have imagined that the seemingly cultivation-less youth before it could be so terrifying.

Otherwise, even if it had ten thousand times the courage, it would never have dared to provoke Ye Chen!

”This Wolf Demon’s pelt is quite tough. It would be a good material for either Artifact Refining or medicine.”

”In its current half-dead state, it’s no longer a threat. You all should take it back with you. It’d be a waste otherwise.”

Ye Chen glanced at the dazed young woman and said casually.

”Oh... oh, okay.”

The young woman finally snapped back to her senses, the deep shock still lingering in her eyes.

”Thank you, fellow cultivator, for your help. You saved us from disaster.”

”May I ask which sect you are from? Our White Tiger Tribe will be sure to visit and reward you generously!”

The crisis was finally over, but the group was still shaken.

Instead of immediately taking the Wolf Demon, they looked at Ye Chen with gratitude and thanked him.

”My name is Ye Chen. I’m from the Vermilion Bird Tribe,” Ye Chen said flatly.

”Ye Chen?!”

The others had no reaction to the name, but the young woman’s expression changed slightly. As if recalling something, a strange light glinted in her bright eyes.

”You’re the Ye Chen that Priest Zhu Cheng told us about?!”

she exclaimed, her sparkling eyes roaming up and down Ye Chen’s frame.

”That’s right.”

”I have urgent business at Yuheng Mountain, and I was also planning to visit the White Tiger Tribe along the way.”

Ye Chen smiled. ”I didn’t expect to run into you on the road. What a coincidence.”

’So he’s from the Vermilion Bird Tribe! But when did he join them? Why have I never seen him before?’

’Wait... I know! Could he be Miss Qiyun’s husband?’

Everyone suddenly understood, quickly realizing Ye Chen’s identity.

The Vermilion Bird Tribe and the White Tiger Tribe had always been close allies, sharing a harmonious relationship.

The White Tiger Tribe had also heard about some of the recent events in the Vermilion Bird Tribe.

”Priest Zhu Cheng has already told me about you.”

A sharp glint flashed in the young woman’s eyes as she said with delight, ”I’ve been waiting for you to visit our tribe for a while now.”

”Perfect. Since we’ve met, let’s travel together. I happen to have a few things I’d like to ask you about.”

Ye Chen gave a faint smile, but then his tone shifted, taking on a chilling edge. ”However, before we leave, we need to clean up the mess here.”

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the woman with the ponytail and her group in the distance changed.

It was obvious they all realized Ye Chen’s words were aimed at them!

’Damn it!’

’To think we ran into such a tough customer!’

The beast-pelt man’s face was so grim it could have dripped water. He gripped his machete, but there was no longer a trace of fighting spirit in his eyes.

Who could blame him? Ye Chen’s earlier performance had been too astonishing—he had easily subdued a Wolf Demon at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

’How could we possibly deal with him with our abilities?’

The others also looked grim.

Their original plan had been perfect. This group from the White Tiger Tribe had been facing certain death.

Even if someone had managed to escape the Wolf Demon’s clutches, they would have been intercepted and killed by them. There was no way out.

But then, out of nowhere, Ye Chen appeared!

The youth seemed to have no cultivation whatsoever, yet his combat power was clearly the most terrifying of anyone present. He had effortlessly crushed the Wolf Demon they had considered invincible, scaring all the fight out of them.

”Fellow cultivator, I believe there may be a misunderstanding between us,”

the woman with the ponytail said, choosing her words carefully. She realized that if they didn’t get past Ye Chen today, they wouldn’t be able to escape safely.

But the moment the words left her mouth, Ye Chen was already charging forward, a terrifying power surging through his arm as he threw a vicious punch at the beast-pelt man!

”You—!”

The woman with the ponytail was completely stunned.

Clearly, there was no room for negotiation with Ye Chen!

The beast-pelt man’s expression changed drastically. He reacted with extreme speed, raising his machete and bringing it down hard on Ye Chen’s fist!

”Fellow cultivator, be careful!”

Seeing Ye Chen about to block a spirit weapon with his bare flesh, the young woman cried out in alarm.

Only Li Hong wore a faint smile, looking as though he was waiting for a good show to start.

Ye Chen’s physical body was terrifyingly strong. If he could easily subdue a Spirit Sea Realm Wolf Demon, what was a mere ordinary spirit weapon to him?

Sure enough, Ye Chen’s fist slammed into the machete. The blade shuddered violently, and countless cracks instantly spread across its surface.

”What?”

”How is this possible?!”

Seeing this, the beast-pelt man’s eyes went wide as if he had just seen a ghost.

The next moment, the machete exploded into a shower of fragments. The beast-pelt man, connected to it by his energy, couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan. As if struck by a heavy blow, he stumbled back several steps and nearly collapsed.

But before he could recover, Ye Chen was already upon him, clinging as close as a shadow.

”You... you stay away from me!”

The beast-pelt man’s eyes were wide with terror, his spirit completely broken.

This time, he was injured and his spirit weapon had been shattered. He had no way left to stop Ye Chen’s attack.

POW!

Ye Chen slammed a fist into his chest!

The beast-pelt man sprayed a torrent of blood. His chest, as if struck by a primordial Divine Mountain, caved in completely, nearly every bone in his body shattering!

Under the horrified gazes of the onlookers, the beast-pelt man crumpled bonelessly to the ground. Blood gushed from him like a spring as his body convulsed uncontrollably.

He was clearly not long for this world.

Watching this, the woman with the ponytail and her group felt a chill run down their spines, leaving them nearly speechless with terror.
