Chapter 562: Chapter 561: 【Eight Diagrams Seal】

[PS: I must earnestly talk about something. The website has launched a ”Dream Fulfillment Plan,” which aims to fulfill the dreams of authors for publishing and creating comics. You can find it on the book’s interaction page. Publishing has always been my earnest desire, I can say I crave it deeply. I hope brothers could sponsor this, with just ”2900” starting coins for a book. If it indeed gets published, I will pay out of my pocket to send everyone a physical copy. I’m immensely grateful!]

Facing Li San’s repeated interference and the appearance of the Old Man of the Liu family, Liu Feng, Ye Tianchen did not back down. On the contrary, he strode forward; nothing could stop what he intended to do. Such were the domineering spirit and courage befitting a king.

Indeed, as Ye Tianchen himself had said, this visit to the Liu family was solely to seek Liu Rumei’s assistance with a matter. The previous trip to Washington in the U.S. to help Liu Rumei exchange nuclear weapon data would have been impossible for anyone else to survive without Ye Tianchen. Thus, in Ye Tianchen’s view, by helping Liu Rumei, they were even, with no debts owing on either side.

He had not intended to make a move initially. The matters of the past were long gone. The current Ye Tianchen was definitively not a narrow-minded person, and both he and Liu Rumei were victims. Ye Tianchen had uncovered some clues about the matter, but the delay had been due to being unable to locate the troublemaker, Young Master Longteng. Otherwise, he would have cleared everything up long ago.

The people of the Liu family had repeatedly obstructed him, effectively forcing Ye Tianchen to take action. Now that even Liu Feng had appeared, it seemed they would not allow him to meet Liu Rumei easily. Thus, there wasn’t much for Ye Tianchen to consider. He’d just fight his way in. What else could he do?

”Ye Tianchen, think carefully about the consequences. That incident from the past is over. I might let it go, but if you forcibly intrude into our Liu family, you, and even the Ye family, might not be able to bear the responsibility,” Liu Feng said in a deep voice when he saw Ye Tianchen striding towards him.

”Mr. Liu, you’ve said it yourself, the incident is in the past, so it is past. I’m only here to discuss a matter with your granddaughter. If you insist on blocking me, I’ll have no choice but to fight my way in,” Ye Tianchen said, still wearing his innocuous smile.

”You don’t need to waste words with this kid, master. Just give the order, and I’ll kill him right now,” Li San said, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen, eager for a fight.

”Li San, perhaps with two of you, there might be a chance to defeat me, but just you alone trying to kill me is utterly impossible. You needn’t lie to yourself, nor to Mr. Liu. I believe he’s well aware of the truth,” Ye Tianchen said, still with a smile.

Liu Feng glanced at Ye Tianchen, noticing the great transformation and the profound change he had undergone. It was astonishing to see that in less than two years, this once ignorant descendant of the Ye family had become so formidable, capable of breaching the Liu family’s defenses. The fact that even Li San could not stop him indicated the immense strength of Ye Tianchen. If a fight really broke out, few in the Liu family could stop him, yet Ye Tianchen had not yet made any aggressive moves, suggesting he had no ill intentions.

However, when Liu Feng thought about how that past incident had brought immense harm to his granddaughter, he couldn’t calm the rage in his heart. How could he, loving his granddaughter as he did, accept what Ye Tianchen had done to Liu Rumei, who was once regarded as the top beauty of the Capital City and had had to endure being the subject of whispers and pointed fingers?

”No matter what you say, I will not allow Rumei to see you again. There can be no involvement between you two. Just leave, I can overlook past matters,” Liu Feng said resolutely to Ye Tianchen.

”If that’s the case, then please, Mr. Liu, stand back a bit...” Ye Tianchen said to Liu Feng with a smile.

”What... What do you mean by that?” Liu Feng couldn’t help asking.

”I mean nothing by it, just that I don’t want to accidentally hurt you in case a fight breaks out. There are three types of people I, Ye Tianchen, do not kill: the elderly who are not utterly wicked, children, and women,” Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head.

”You...”

”Come on!”

Before Liu Feng could speak, Li San could no longer contain himself. He let out a loud roar, his hands continuously striking out and bursting the air, as he rapidly charged toward Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows, clasping his hands tightly together, the power of thunder and lightning flickering over his fists, startling even Yong Chun Tai. She quickly ran to Liu Feng’s side, taking him to a distant house, fearing that if Ye Tianchen and Li San were to fight, they might destroy the entire Liu family.

Clap, clap, clap...

Bang, bang, bang...

Ye Tianchen and Li San, putting forth their full strength as soon as they began fighting, might have been testing each other out initially, but they escalated to using their killing skills. If not for Yong Chun Tai’s intervention, a victor would have emerged much earlier. Both harbored the thought of having an all-out battle against each other. Being powerhouses, neither wanted to be outdone, so they struck with all their might, their forms constantly darting and flashing across the open ground, each palm and fist unleashed carrying explosive, wild strength.

Neither shied away; they met force with force, engaging in a fierce exchange of blows. The formidable power of the Monument Pushing Hand astonished Ye Tianchen, while the force of Ye Tianchen’s Thunder Sky Fist took Li San’s breath away. He had not expected Ye Tianchen to be able to gather the power of thunder and lightning on his fists, sending punch after punch that filled the space with electric force, causing anything it touched to shatter.

Clap!

When Ye Tianchen and Li San clashed palms, both were jolted backward three steps. At that moment, Li San was completely fired up by his fighting spirit, exhilarated at meeting such a strong opponent after many years. For years, to defeat the Double Saber King, Li San had been diligently practicing the Monument Pushing Hand. He was just a step away from achieving Great Success, yet persistently stuck, unable to find the solution to this puzzle despite deep contemplation. Nevertheless, he had perfected ”Sky-shattering,” a killing skill from Monument Pushing Hand, revealing him as a martial genius.

”My ’Sky-shattering’ was interrupted by Yong Chun Tai just now, but this time you’re not so lucky. I’m going to turn you and the air around you into ash,” Li San fiercely declared to Ye Tianchen.

”I too am eager to witness the fearsome might of the Monument Pushing Hand’s absolute skill. Bring it on!” Ye Tianchen was also inflamed with True Fire, boiling with rage, loudly responding to Li San.

Pop!

A crisp sound echoed as everything within a hundred meters around Li San turned to dust, leaving only debris behind. Such was the astonishing might of the Monument Pushing Hand, passed down from one master to a single disciple through generations simply because this technique was so defying; deadly from the first move, learning it without the right moral compass would only lead to the death of many innocents.

Witnessing the formidable power of Li San’s ”Sky-shattering” technique, Ye Tianchen was naturally wary. He immersed his divine consciousness, not allowing himself to be distracted by any surrounding noises, focusing entirely. He slowly closed his eyes, his hands forming a seal that even he might not have noticed himself making. Yong Chun Tai, always observing the battle, couldn’t help but whisper in astonishment, ”Eight Diagrams Seal, Ye Tianchen is indeed a man of great fortune. Li San is probably going to lose... ”

”Yong Chun Tai, what is the Eight Diagrams Seal?” Standing nearby, Liu Feng, upon hearing Yong Chun Tai’s remark, couldn’t help but quickly ask.

”Sir, you might also be aware of some, Earth was originally a very suitable planet for cultivation. It’s unknown why it has developed to its current state. Although it’s no longer conducive to cultivation, there are still many cultivators, both from our Ancient Martial Sects and the Superpower Users, all enhancing their strength through different methods of cultivation. Since Earth has such a past, there are nearly divine arts and skills that have been passed down, though they are hard to discover. The seal Ye Tianchen formed with his hands is one of those legendary Eight Diagrams Seals, incorporating the Five Elements and the Primordial Eight Diagrams; a divine art that can absorb energies from all directions. Little did Ye Tianchen know that he would master such a long-lost divine art. Who exactly is he?” Yong Chun Tai continued in one breath.

Liu Feng was also shocked; reaching his level meant he was aware of some things not known to the ordinary person. Just as Yong Chun Tai said, the Earth was once very suitable for cultivation. It’s unknown why it changed so drastically today, and modern humans can only discover a tiny part of the historical relics buried in the past. The origin of mankind is merely conjecture, without true proofs. It’s simple logic; since Earth was once highly conducive for cultivation and many mighty cultivators were born, these powerful beings surely left behind some divine arts. However, nowadays, ordinary people cannot even release their own constraints to start the path of cultivation, let alone discover these divine arts. It’s similar to having a bronze pot from hundreds of years ago buried under your feet. You won’t see it unless you dig, and even if you did see it, you might not recognize it.

The Eight Diagrams Seal is a divine art that can draw power from all directions to one’s own seal. Perhaps even Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that in that profound and mysterious state, not only had he grasped declaring ”Tao”, he had unknowingly received the legacy of the Eight Diagrams Seal. It seems like the home base of the Heavenly Gang War General, located in the Original Forest, isn’t so simple after all.”

”Ye Tianchen’s Eight Diagrams Seal is not yet fully mature, but its power already surpasses what Li San can handle. If Li San’s Monument Pushing Hand were of Great Success, he might still have a chance to win. Now, he is no match for Ye Tianchen...” Yong Chun Tai couldn’t help shaking his head as he said.
