”Even if I die, I’ll take you down with me... Ah!”

Huang Jinkuang shouted loudly, intending to recklessly propel the drop of Ancestor Pangolin King’s Essence Blood within him to kill Ye Tianchen. He knew that given the strength of his physical body and cultivation level, it was extremely difficult to thoroughly temper the power from that drop of Ancestor Pangolin King’s Essence Blood out of his blood. However, when he thought about the fact that if he couldn’t kill Ye Tianchen, even if the battle ended in a draw, he wouldn’t have a good life upon returning to the Jin family, Huang Jinkuang decided to take the risk, hoping to kill Ye Tianchen in one fell swoop despite suffering severe injuries himself. But he gambled wrong; his body simply couldn’t withstand the full release of power from that drop of Ancestor Pangolin King’s Essence Blood, which had always been suppressed. When truly unleashed, Huang Jinkuang was courting death.

Transformed into a massive pangolin body with only his own head remaining outside, Huang Jinkuang wore a sinister expression, his eyes filled with inexplicable fear and dread. Recklessly, he attacked Ye Tianchen, but unfortunately, he lost the bet which cost him his life. As he forsook everything and attacked, hoping to crush Ye Tianchen to death with the Essence Blood, he hadn’t even had a chance to strike before suffering the consequences. Blood spurted out all over his body, exploding from inside out in a gruesome scene as blood splattered uncontrollably everywhere. Even in the last moments, a trace of fear flashed in Huang Jinkuang’s eyes. He was terrified, at a loss for what to do, faced with the overwhelming fear of impending death. Even a powerful martial artist, long accustomed to the battles and killings, rarely could remain calm when true death approached.

”No, no—how could this happen? I won’t die...” Huang Jinkuang was completely broken down. Despite all his efforts to stimulate the Martial Arts True Qi within him to stop the Essence Blood from scattering, it was futile, impossible to achieve. Because he released the full power of the Ancestor Pangolin King’s Essence Blood, it led to a dramatic conflict between the Essence Blood and his own Bloodline Power. The most serious and direct consequence was that his body couldn’t withstand the collision of two different Bloodline Powers, resulting in an explosive demise.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, feeling powerless at this stage. Although he was astounded earlier by the brutality of power unleashed when Huang Jinkuang fully released the Essence Blood, which carried an intimidating ancient pressure that left even him feeling apprehensive, Ye Tianchen’s formidable Divine Sense had already detected the anomaly within Huang Jinkuang — a fierce clash between two different Bloodline Powers, possibly unbeknownst to Huang Jinkuang himself. He foresaw that if Huang Jinkuang couldn’t suppress the Essence Blood’s power, his fate would inevitably be doom. Indeed, it happened as Ye Tianchen expected; Huang Jinkuang couldn’t control the full release of the Essence Blood’s power, resulting directly in his explosive death.

”One who brings misfortune upon themselves cannot live; too many martial artists often abandon so much in the relentless pursuit of ultimate power and higher Cultivation Realms—even their very lives!” Ye Tianchen seemed to grasp something, shaking his head as he spoke.

Bang!

After a thunderous explosion, Huang Jinkuang perished explosively as blood rain poured into the murky demon lands below, meeting a fate of complete annihilation. It wasn’t Ye Tianchen who killed him; Huang Jinkuang simply couldn’t withstand such power. If he hadn’t been arrogantly reckless, attempting to shock-kill Ye Tianchen with his physical body power, and instead engaged Ye Tianchen in a Martial Arts Divine Skill duel, deciding a victor between them wouldn’t have been easy.

”This... He’s dead? Huang Jinkuang died just like that?”

”Pitiful, Huang Jinkuang brought this upon himself by recklessly triggering the Essence Blood of the Ancestor Pangolin King; such a tragic outcome wouldn’t have happened otherwise.”

”Ye Tianchen has won; he pushed Huang Jinkuang to this verge. This young man is truly extraordinary; not only is his Martial Arts Cultivation unfathomably deep, but his repertoire of Martial Arts Divine Skills is varied and expansive. More terrifying is his physical strength, which is also indestructible. If Ye Tianchen truly grows, it would indeed be daunting!”

”Rest assured, surviving won’t be so easy for Ye Tianchen. According to my knowledge, the Jin family, the Blood Killing Organization, and Nine Netherworld from Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds are in relentless enmity with Ye Tianchen. Even if these three families fail to kill Ye Tianchen, given the Cultivation Treasure and Supreme Treasure he possesses, he would be a target for everyone wherever he goes...”

Indeed, as several martial artists watching from the sidelines mentioned, Ye Tianchen, despite having made a name for himself in Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds without realizing it, with his personal talent, insights, and opportunities, is undoubtedly a favored child of heaven. However, given his current cultivation and power level, should he truly provoke these vast forces—take the formidable Jin family, for example—one elder-level expert could strike, leading Ye Tianchen to suffer measurably, even facing complete annihilation.

The former Three Ancient Martial Worlds was believed to have no mighty beings, but now it seems that despite evolving to today’s Earth, there’s still a multitude of concealed Cultivation Families and Cultivation Sects—from inherited powers lurking silently and unknown. Especially amidst these long-established powerful factions, remnants of old survivors often stay, and these elders are among the Supreme Strong of Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds, possibly inching near the Emperor Realm. However, due to temporal differences, they’ve never emerged and won’t yet emerge. But now subtle signs suggest a great cultivation era imminent; various forces are itching to move. Especially beyond Earth, within the true Martial Arts Great World, it’s uncertain how splendidly the era has unfolded, with countless heavenly prodigies potentially clashing mightily and unleashing devastation!

A different era prevents viewing through obsolete concepts. For Ye Tianchen to reach his current position took extraordinary insight, opportunity, and perseverance, acknowledging the hardship. Yet, to dominate Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds now, given the current situation, remains daunting—as various great forces are restlessly stirring, portentous of a great event on the horizon. The once dormant Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds will again see upheaval, no longer being where a Martial Saint Realm expert could traverse dominantly; now, relying solely on Martial Saint Realm to roam Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds meets considerable challenges.

Therefore, concerning Ye Tianchen’s current situation, it’s exceedingly perilous; the Jin family, Blood Killing Organization, Nine Netherworld—each a terrifyingly formidable presence. Should an elder reemerge, Ye Tianchen would face severe suffering.

”Colliding two different Bloodline Powers, leading to a martial artist’s explosive death; will I meet such an end in the future too?”

Witnessing Huang Jinkuang’s demise from internal conflict between two Bloodline Powers—explosively meeting total destruction—Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow in reflection. He thought of himself, carrying a Superpower Origin within him yet unresolved, presently inhibiting his breakthrough in Cultivation Realm. Until a resolution for the internal conflict between two powers is found, Ye Tianchen cannot advance to the Late Stage Martial Saint. Forced breakthroughs promise identical outcomes as Huang Jinkuang, indisputably. Recognizing this, Ye Tianchen understood he must find a resolution for the conflict between his Superpower and Martial Arts True Power within him—else he stagnates indefinitely in the Mid-stage Martial Saint, risking eventual spontaneous lethal conflict between the powers within leading to certain death.

”No, I will definitely find a way to resolve this conflict of powers within me; my end won’t be like Huang Jinkuang’s. Many things await my exploration; much needs doing; reaching the Martial Arts Peak yet eludes me; small challenges won’t deter me!” Ye Tianchen resolutely declared, tightening his grip.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen felt his Divine Sense as if being seized; his soul inducing an outward-pulling sensation, shocking him deeply. Detecting no nearby hostile presence, what manner of Martial Arts Secret Skill was this? Such a strange and potent force induced heart-throbbing fear.

Quickly stabilizing his spirit, Ye Tianchen initiated action, summoning ”Holy Heaven Prison” to cover himself. Drifting Chaos Qi descended to protect him from sudden assaults, presenting a truly strange situation coupled with an intimidating feeling. No enemy appeared, nor any Martial Arts Divine Skill attacked, yet ghostly sensation threatened soul extraction—how fearsome this was! Who was so powerful to subjugate Ye Tianchen’s soul?
