Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 973: Chapter 972: Attempt in the Special Space

Ye Tianchen returned to the hidden Heavenly Pit next to Desolate Stone Village. This was after he had annihilated the entire Five Poison Sect, barely surviving to come back. He felt a blood rain storm was imminent, a big storm that left him uncertain of its consequences, everything was unknown. The Blood Killing Organization has a strong, unfathomable inheritance, and the Nine Netherworld is a place that evokes fear and shivers. They all want to emerge at this time. Could it be that they sense something big is going to happen to Earth, which has been dormant for millions of years? What exactly is this big event?

Ye Tianchen has already obtained two pieces of the ancient transmission array fragments; the remaining piece is within the Blood Killing Organization. To acquire this transmission array fragment, Ye Tianchen must overthrow the Blood Killing Organization’s base. At that time, Tianshuang ignored everything to divinate and sensed the foundation of the Blood Killing Organization was within the Penglai Ancient Martial World. Among the three Ancient Martial Worlds on Earth, Ye Tianchen has always roamed the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World, but he has never been to the Penglai Ancient Martial World or the Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World.

In a rare moment to catch his breath, Ye Tianchen was not in too much of a hurry; five young disciples needed him to teach them martial arts cultivation skills, and he himself needed time to comprehend something. Fortunately, with the Five Poison Sect being exterminated, there was currently no major crisis, allowing Ye Tianchen to somewhat relax.

The issue of Little Shitou being unable to cultivate has always lingered in Ye Tianchen’s mind. He had thought of many ways; some were impossible to achieve, while others were not feasible. If he couldn’t help Little Shitou condense martial arts true power in his dantian, then he couldn’t let him step onto the true path of martial arts cultivation. Ye Tianchen continuously pondered methods, not wanting Little Shitou to give up, nor did he wish to see Little Shitou standing at the village entrance again, gazing at the distant mountains, with that forlorn look yearning for his parents, which was somewhat heart-wrenching.

Ye Tianchen, being an orphan since childhood, could empathize with Little Shitou’s loneliness and unwillingness. Wanting to fight against the heavens, wanting to struggle against destiny, but lacking even the slightest bit of power and leverage, which is the biggest blow to a person. Being deprived of even the opportunity to fight is somewhat cruel.

”Master, I want to go there to cultivate, I want to enter this special space to condense martial arts true power!” Little Shitou said with an excited and determined gaze, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”However, this space is very special, even I can’t control it. It’s very likely that as soon as you enter, you might lose your life, let alone condensing martial arts true power inside. Have you considered this?” Ye Tianchen looked seriously at Little Shitou, not joking. Entering this space was extremely dangerous; even he hadn’t gone in to cultivate before, it was merely an idea he’d just thought of.

Little Shitou hesitated for a moment, looking at Ye Tianchen, said: ”Master, no matter what, I must go in to cultivate, this is my only chance, it’s also my last chance to fight against fate. Just hope that if I were to die, you could take care of Grandpa, he’s elderly!”

”Alright!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

”Little Shitou...” In Desolate Stone Village, Grandpa Shi, who was also Little Shitou’s grandfather, appeared at the location. Ye Tianchen glanced at Grandpa Shi and noticed the life essence energy in Grandpa Shi’s body had depleted considerably; it seemed the old man didn’t have much time left.

”Grandpa Shi, why have you come?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

Desolate Stone Village’s village chief, who is also Grandpa Shi, is indeed Little Shitou’s grandfather, and Little Shitou is only a few years old. However, his age is almost two hundred years. Therefore, Ye Tianchen respectfully calls this old man Grandpa, which is quite appropriate. Each villager of Desolate Stone Village regards him as a benefactor, as family, and Ye Tianchen, of course, holds them in high regard and with affection.

”Grandpa!” Little Shitou said, looking at his elderly grandfather.

”Go on, Grandpa supports you, and I will wait for you to come out. Grandpa will hold on until that day!” Grandpa Shi spoke with a smile, seemingly aware of the condition of his own body, knowing his time was limited, with his life essence energy gradually dwindling day by day.

”Grandpa, I will, I will definitely come out alive!” Little Shitou tightly clenched his fist, speaking with gritted teeth.

Ye Tianchen nodded, not saying much more. He would do his utmost to break Little Shitou’s untrainable physique, but some things must be accomplished by Little Shitou himself; no one can help him with that. If he can’t do it himself, even if Ye Tianchen were stronger, he couldn’t grant him powerful martial arts cultivation; that is something no one can achieve. Just like in the martial arts world where there are no examples of becoming immortal, who can grant anyone an eternal life?

Buzz!

The Holy Heaven Prison appeared, suspended over Ye Tianchen’s head. The solution Ye Tianchen thought of was this; after so many battles, the Holy Heaven Prison could be considered Ye Tianchen’s strongest reliance, especially with the indestructibly tough yet unstoppable chaos qi within, which is the origin power of the martial arts world. Anyone would tremble before it; no matter how strong, in the presence of chaos qi, one would not dare be careless or dismissive. Therefore, the method Ye Tianchen thought of was to let Little Shitou enter the Holy Heaven Prison, using the special and mysterious power of chaos qi inside to envelop Little Shitou, hoping that in doing so, Little Shitou could condense martial arts true power in his dantian and succeed. If successful, Little Shitou would step onto the true path of martial arts cultivation. If it failed, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have any other solutions, as it was his first time facing such a situation.

Swoosh!

The Holy Heaven Prison arrived above Little Shitou’s head, strands of chaos qi descended. Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged on the high platform, constantly performing sealing skills with his hands to control the chaos qi within the Holy Heaven Prison, ensuring it didn’t harm Little Shitou. Little Shitou, being an ordinary person now, couldn’t bear the pressure from chaos qi. Thus, Ye Tianchen had to control it, taking all the pressure upon himself so Little Shitou wouldn’t be harmed before entering the Holy Heaven Prison.

Little Shitou looked at the Holy Heaven Prison above his head, then at his grandfather, gritting his teeth and said: ”Grandpa, wait for me to come out, definitely wait for me to come out, I will break the curse within me then and become a true martial artist.”

”Grandpa will wait for you, Little Shitou, don’t ever give up, remember the kin from Desolate Stone Village are waiting for you, they need your protection!” Grandpa Shi smiled at Little Shitou and said.

”I will!” Little Shitou bit his lips tightly, preventing himself from crying.

Strands of chaos qi descended, Ye Tianchen carefully controlled the pressure of this power. Little Shitou was merely an ordinary person; each wisp of chaos qi held world-destroying power. If enveloped in chaos qi like this, Little Shitou would likely turn into a blood mist instantly, which made it a challenging task for Ye Tianchen.

Since Ye Tianchen obtained this supreme treasure, the Holy Heaven Prison, he hadn’t fully understood it. Although appearing externally as a magic cube cage, if not a treasure, it’s just a regular iron cage. Inside, there’s only strand after strand of chaos qi. Within the iron cage, there’s a smaller iron cage, akin to one for imprisoning criminals. Ye Tianchen discovered some endlessly mysterious tiny runes on the antique cage’s iron pillars. These runes are incredibly complex, beyond his understanding. The locks on these small cages are all formed by condensed chaos qi, unbreakable by anyone—an ideal place for imprisoning the powerful. No matter how strong one is, once confined, they become like a dragon stranded on the shallows, a tiger dropped into the plains.

Ye Tianchen also knew the Holy Heaven Prison’s immense power couldn’t merely be limited to what was being displayed. He hadn’t even unleashed a tenth of its power, but if he were to wield the Holy Heaven Prison, unleashing the ultimate mysterious power of this treasure, Ye Tianchen hadn’t figured out a method, hadn’t thought of any way.

Slowly controlling the chaos qi dispersing from within the Holy Heaven Prison, Ye Tianchen minimised the pressure of chaos qi, directing all the pressure onto himself to help Little Shitou withstand it. Meanwhile, using his divine thought, he gradually enclosed Little Shitou with chaos qi. However, as soon as chaos qi enveloped Little Shitou, he let out a scream, with blood spurting out.

”Little Shitou...” Grandpa Shi called out anxiously.

”It’s nothing; he just fainted. The pressure from chaos qi is indeed too strong, even though I diverted most of the pressure onto myself, it remains formidable. The most origin power in the universe is indeed difficult to control,” Ye Tianchen said, looking at Grandpa Shi.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Grandpa Shi heaved a sigh of relief, didn’t help sigh and said: ”When Little Shitou was just born, his parents passed away. He never experienced fatherly and motherly love, daily waiting at the village entrance for his parents’ return, repeatedly disappointed, crying night after night. Yet, he persisted in waiting for his parents at the village entrance daily, never abandoning his inner hope, a pitiful child, Heaven shouldn’t be so unfair to him...”

”Grandpa Shi, rest assured, as long as I’m here, Little Shitou won’t come to any harm...”

Ye Tianchen hadn’t finished his words when he looked towards Grandpa Shi and found Little Shitou’s grandfather collapsed on the ground, unconscious, barely alive, which startled Ye Tianchen. He could clearly see with his eyes that Grandpa Shi’s life essence energy suddenly began rapidly depleting...(To be continued.
