Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

And so, Ye Chen had finally collected two Divine Beast Fire Seeds.

Once he forged the Sacred Flame of Creation, he would return to his peak.

Just the thought of it sent a thrill of excitement through Ye Chen.

Once he obtained the Sacred Flame of Creation, not only would he recover his peak strength, but he would likely ascend to an even higher level, reaching for the Divine Might Realm itself!

By then, he could even fight and defeat a true Void Realm Cultivator!

He would never again be caught in a perilous situation like when he faced the patriarchs of the three great clans in Dongxuan Province.

However, he still had a long way to go before he could challenge a peerless, world-shaking talent like Luoxia Fairy, who came from such a terrifying background.

Of course, Ye Chen wasn’t one to sell himself short.

He possessed the Chaos Five Elements Body, a constitution rarely seen in a thousand ages. His talent was second to none!

Even if there was an insurmountable chasm between him and Luoxia Fairy, he would cross it and crush her beneath his feet!

In fact, after his battle with Luoxia Fairy in Dongxuan Province, Ye Chen had come to a realization.

Even if Luoxia Fairy’s sect hadn’t sent experts to kill him, his strength at the time was still insufficient to handle the patriarchs of the three great clans simultaneously.

Although Hongyu Pill Venerable had brought plenty of help, if the fight had dragged on, experts from the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce would certainly have arrived as reinforcements.

And that wasn’t all. The Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce wasn’t the only power Ye Chen had provoked.

Besides the three great clans, there was also Jingkong Temple, a behemoth located in the southern part of the dynasty!

If Jingkong Temple sent other powerful Monks besides Pure Buddha, he would have been forced into another brutal fight.

Ultimately, Ye Chen simply hadn’t been strong enough back then.

He was only at the Fourth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Compared to enemies at the Peak of the Divine Power Realm, or those on the verge of the Void Realm, his cultivation was still far too weak!

Luoxia Fairy had driven him out of the Great Hong Dynasty, but in a way, wasn’t that an opportunity?

As long as he obtained the Sacred Flame of Creation, he was confident he could suppress all those powerful enemies!

”It... it actually lit up?!!”

Suddenly, a voice as crisp and clear as a silver bell reached Ye Chen’s ears.

The young woman’s voice shattered Ye Chen’s train of thought.

Ye Chen opened his eyes to a stunning sight. The White Tiger totem on the bronze pillar was radiating a brilliant divine light. Faintly, it seemed as though a true Divine Beast White Tiger was awakening, unleashing an immeasurable pressure that swept across the heavens and the earth.

The change in the bronze pillar alerted the entire White Tiger Tribe!

Countless tribe members came rushing over. Sensing the disturbance, they all turned their gazes to the bronze pillar.

For a moment, a chorus of sharp gasps filled the air.

Everyone was frozen in shock.

’The White Tiger totem... has actually been awakened?’

”Priestess, what in the world is happening?”

”Could it be? Has the Priestess’s hard work over all these years finally awakened the remnant power in the White Tiger totem?”

One of the tribesmen looked at Qing Lian with tears of gratitude, his voice trembling as he spoke.

”I wasn’t the one who awakened the totem.”

Qing Lian shook her head and looked toward Ye Chen. ”It was him!”

An uproar swept through the crowd as streams of astonished gazes converged on Ye Chen.

”He’s Miss Qiyun’s husband?”

”Why does he look like he doesn’t have any cultivation?”

”How can he have such a miraculous ability, to be able to awaken the totem?”

”...”

Although the crowd found it hard to believe, no one questioned Qing Lian’s words.

Unquestionably, Qing Lian held a high status within the tribe, and her words carried great weight.

”He is an anomaly... and also our tribe’s benefactor!”

Qing Lian glanced at Ye Chen, a complex emotion in her bright eyes. ”With his help, the Vermilion Bird Tribe’s totem has already been awakened. And now, our tribe finally has a hope of rising again!”

At her words, the crowd erupted in cheers.

With the White Tiger totem awakened, they could already feel their bodies beginning to slowly change.

Some Cultivators who were on the verge of a breakthrough even broke through to the next realm on the spot, shocking everyone around them.

”This is wonderful! Once our tribe grows strong, we won’t have to rely on other factions anymore!”

An elder of the tribe wept with joy, as if seeing a future where the tribe was prosperous and thriving beyond measure.

Watching the noisy crowd, Ye Chen rubbed his temples, a headache coming on.

He just wanted to recuperate in peace, not be disturbed.

While he could understand the tribespeople’s excitement, Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to share in it.

After all, he had more important things to do.

Qing Lian clearly sensed what Ye Chen was thinking.

”Fellow Daoist Ye Chen has just been through a series of great battles and is in urgent need of rest. Let’s leave for now and not disturb him.”

She hid a small smile, then tactfully led her people away.

With that, Ye Chen could finally devote his full attention to his recovery.

He sensed the power of the White Tiger Fire Seed. The potential of his Chaos Five Elements Body was constantly being stimulated, and the lingering Dao injuries within his meridians and bones were slowly mending.

By now, all the external wounds on Ye Chen’s body had long since vanished.

The injuries he had left were mostly internal.

There was even residual power from spatial turbulence left in his body, impeding his recovery.

However, as time went on, even these internal injuries were slowly healing.

As for his severed meridians and the areas damaged by Luoxia Fairy’s Spiritual Power, they remained unchanged.

Ye Chen guessed that the Dao injuries Luoxia Fairy had left in his body would be impossible to fully heal until he obtained the Sacred Flame of Creation.

After all, Luoxia Fairy’s power was on an entirely different level.

The injuries she inflicted couldn’t be healed by ordinary means.

The moon set and the sun rose. Before he knew it, three days had passed in a flash.

Early the next morning, as the sky began to lighten, the first ray of dawn sliced through the pitch-black heavens like an unsheathed blade, casting a sliver of light upon the land.

At that exact moment, Ye Chen opened his eyes, ending his self-healing.

Though it had taken a considerable amount of time, it was undoubtedly worth it.

After three days of recuperation, Ye Chen’s combat strength had finally recovered to the Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm. He was just one step away from entering the Divinity Transformation Realm!

This was the power of the Divine Beast Fire Seeds!

Each wisp of a Divine Beast Fire Seed was a cornerstone for the Sacred Flame of Creation, containing a trace of its uniquely blessed creative power.

Now that Ye Chen had mastered two types of Divine Beast Fire Seeds, the amount of creative power he could access had also increased significantly.

As a result, his injuries had healed even further. Though he still had no Spiritual Cultivation, his combat strength was approaching the Divinity Transformation level, making him a dominant force in the immediate vicinity!

’That really wasn’t easy.’

Ye Chen stretched his limbs. Sensing the power surging through his body, a satisfied smile touched his lips.
