Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 685: Chapter 684: Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill

[PS: Here’s the second release of the day. Thank you all for your unwavering subscriptions, and thank you!]

Dongfang Meng had not expected Ye Tianchen to make such a perverted request—actually sitting cross-legged on the ground motionless, expecting her to hit him with all her strength? Was he an idiot, or did he simply think too little of Dongfang Meng’s combat power?

Seeing Ye Tianchen’s dismissive attitude, Dongfang Meng also got angry. She swung a palm imbued with golden light towards him, intending to teach him a lesson.

Clang!

But when Dongfang Meng’s Jade Maiden Palm Skill hit Ye Tianchen, she felt as if she had struck steel, a solid clashing sound emanating upon impact. Her Martial Arts True Power couldn’t penetrate Ye Tianchen’s body at all; it was as if it was completely blocked from the outside.

”You...” Dongfang Meng was stunned. Her Cultivation Realm was only slightly less than that of Ye Tianchen and although she had not used her full power, she had still exerted seventy percent of her Martial Arts True Power. This palm should have been enough to penetrate mountains and split rocks, yet Ye Tianchen remained entirely unmoved. How had he suddenly become so powerful?

”Didn’t you eat? With this level of combat power, you think you can rule the Ancient Martial World? You’re far from it!” Ye Tianchen spoke with a hint of scorn, without even opening his eyes.

”You... I’m angry now!” Dongfang Meng said fiercely, staring at Ye Tianchen.

”Then show me just how angry you are, make your move!”

Slap!

Dongfang Meng, provoked by Ye Tianchen, made her move. It was the same Jade Maiden Palm Skill, but the power had increased manyfold. After her palm strike, sand and stones were sent flying as if a mountainous force had swept through, smashing towards Ye Tianchen.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Dongfang Meng came back to her senses. She felt a jolt of shock followed by a pang of regret and guilt. She had struck Ye Tianchen with her full strength; had she killed him?

However, when Dongfang Meng looked closely at the scene before her, she was completely dumbfounded. Ye Tianchen was still sitting cross-legged in his original spot, his body radiating golden light, without so much as a flinch. To her utter surprise, her all-out effort failed to harm him or even make him move. It was inconceivable. How was it possible?

”How did you become so formidable?” Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but ask with delight.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen slowly lowered his hands from top to bottom, directing his Martial Arts True Power back toward his Dantian. The golden light radiating from his body also began to fade, and his very aura seemed to change. He smiled at Dongfang Meng, said nothing, and walked to a nearby large boulder and slammed his head against it.

”Hey, are you out of your mind? Trying to kill yourself?” Dongfang Meng saw Ye Tianchen bash his head into the solid boulder. Even though they were Martial Arts Practitioners and wouldn’t die from such a collision, and might even escape unharmed, such idiotic behavior was unprecedented. What in the world was Ye Tianchen trying to do?

Boom-thud!

Ignoring Dongfang Meng’s words, Ye Tianchen’s head collided with the massive boulder. The loud noise nearly caused Dongfang Meng to drop her jaw in shock. Ye Tianchen’s head crashed into the rock so forcefully that it shattered the large and solid boulder into powder—not merely breaking it into pieces, but pulverizing it. No wonder Dongfang Meng was astonished—she knew that not even many masters could achieve such a feat with a palm strike, let alone with their head. To Martial Arts Practitioners, the head was even more important than the heart because once a practitioner reached a certain realm, as long as the head was intact, they wouldn’t die completely. The Divine Thought resided in the head, and as long as it remained unextinguished, it was eternal.

Therefore, in battle, practitioners always protect their heads and never recklessly use it to unleash powerful Divine Arts, as it is their life’s gate. No one would joke about their own life because, no matter how mighty their Supreme Divine Power or invincibility, without stepping into Eternal Life, they ultimately have only one life. Regardless of world-shattering powers, if one cannot find the path to Eternal Life, they will eventually return to dust.

”You’ve cultivated the Iron Head Skill?” Dongfang Meng snapped back to reality, her expression one of disbelief. In just these few short hours, the martial prowess emanating from Ye Tianchen was completely different, as though his cultivation had ascended another major step, almost unfathomably powerful!

”It’s not the Iron Head Skill. If it were just that, your palm strike to my chest just now would have likely left me spitting blood and collapsing,” Ye Tianchen said as he brushed the plaster from his head.

”Then what divine skill is this, so formidable?” Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but ask curiously.

”It is one of the divine skills recorded in the Yijin Jing, the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill? You, you’ve mastered it?” Dongfang Meng stared at Ye Tianchen in amazement. Such talent and insight were too extraordinary, right? In just a matter of hours to cultivate one of the absolute skills from the Yijin Jing, the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill?

Ye Tianchen glanced at Dongfang Meng and then felt the Martial Arts Power within his body. During his recent cultivation of the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, he had experienced a feeling of being indestructible, his physical body immensely strong. He was confident that without using any Martial Arts Power, he could shatter a mountain with his physical strength alone. Unless facing an opponent with a higher cultivation realm, he was confident in taking their attacks head-on with his body alone.

”It’s not so easy. The Yijin Jing is extremely profound and hard to comprehend. Among the seventy-two ultimate divine skills recorded in it, each is harder than the last. I chose the ones I could grasp the essence of more easily. To cultivate the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill to great success would take a considerably longer period of time!” Ye Tianchen shook his head.

While Ye Tianchen had been cultivating the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, he had sensed the incredible nature of this divine skill. With small success, one could smash mountains and the earth with their physical body alone, taking on attacks from those at the same cultivation realm; achieving the Great Achievement Realm would allow one to roam the universe fearless of Gang Wind, suppress peers with just physical might, and even battle opponents stronger than themselves. The physical power was unimaginably formidable.

”You’ve just started to cultivate this divine skill. If you were to achieve small success or even great success, then what would you become?” Dongfang Meng asked excitedly.

”What do you think? Are you interested?” Ye Tianchen asked Dongfang Meng with a smile.

”I’m not interested at all. I’m a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect; naturally, I should cultivate our Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Moreover, our Ancient Tomb Sect’s Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is not inferior to the Shaolin Temple’s Yijin Jing. It’s just that it doesn’t record seventy-two kinds of divine skills like the Yijin Jing does. You’re just too lucky!”

Although Dongfang Meng spoke dismissively, she was somewhat envious. As Master Fang Zheng had said, Ye Tianchen was a person of great fortune and wisdom, with exceptional powers of understanding. In just a few hours, he had begun to grasp the essence of the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, a feat no one could match in terms of speed.

However, Dongfang Meng was correct on one point—not every divine skill is something everyone wants to or is suitable to cultivate. Some people’s talents, insights, or physical constitutions render even the mightiest divine skills unsuitable for them. Therefore, among martial artists, there are different constitutions, and for these powerful constitutions, there are specialized divine skills to cultivate. This is the heritage and cultivation insights left behind by countless mighty figures through the ages.

”I have such great fortune and adventure, and I will cherish it. I will also fulfill the promise I made to Master Fang Zheng. Right now, with our combined strength, it’s still difficult to ward off the pursuers from the Sword Control Sect and the Five Poison Sect, so unless absolutely necessary, we can’t afford to fight head-on,” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Every martial arts sect that has survived to this day has an absolutely substantial foundation. Even if we don’t mention whether these sects have any unknown depths, just their elders are extremely difficult to deal with. The fact that the Sword Control Sect has sent out two elder-level masters to hunt us shows they are seriously invested,” Dongfang Meng nodded in agreement.

”Naturally, those who can become elders are mostly individuals who have cultivated for a long time and have abundant combat experience; they’ve lived to a ripe old age. It would be difficult for them not to be powerful. They have crossed more bridges than we have walked roads; how could they not be stronger than us?” Ye Tianchen shook his head with a laugh.

”Let’s keep moving, then. Meeting with the senior Feng Qingyang of the Huashan Sect sooner is better, to see what he thinks!” Dongfang Meng said.

After successfully evading the pursuit of the Five Poison Seven Sons and the two elders from the Sword Control Sect, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng headed once again toward the Huashan Sect in the Ancient Martial World. With Master Fang Zheng having passed away, the only ones left who could hold Bei Lengshi in check were senior Feng Qingyang of the Huashan Sect and the One Sword Taoist of the Wudang Sect. If Ye Tianchen hoped to successfully rescue Tian Boguang from Bei Lengshi’s clutches, he would likely need the aid of these two revered figures.

Both Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng understood that their combined strength was still too inferior to those ancient and hidden sects within the Ancient Martial World. Just an elder-level master appearing randomly would be more than enough trouble for them. They must be cautious and prudent, evading their pursuers while continuously strengthening their combat power. Only then could they find a foothold in the Ancient Martial World. (To be continued.
