”Alright, I was thinking the same thing!” Ye Tianchen said without hesitation.

Swish!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen and Daley’s figures disappeared from the spot. As they left, Daley sternly commanded everyone in Devouring Sky Village not to act against Desolate Stone Village without his order. If he did not return in three hours, everyone from Devouring Sky Village would have to retreat.

Similarly, Ye Tianchen instructed Shuanger and the others not to act. If a crisis occurred, he would find a way to inform them. In any case, protecting the elderly, women, and children of Desolate Stone Village was of utmost importance.

Shuanger, Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, Hu Gao, Shi Hubo, and others were anxiously waiting and also on guard against the martial artists from Devouring Sky Village. There was a strong possibility they would defy the old patriarch Daley’s order and attack Desolate Stone Village. Though the five of them were not weak, facing more than ten martial artists posed some pressure. The martial artists from Devouring Sky Village were also a bit anxious. Initially, they thought that with the old patriarch Daley’s action, using his cultivation strength and the clan’s treasure, the giant axe, Ye Tianchen—despite his strength—would probably be killed. However, Ye Tianchen fought like a heaven-defying demon, not only blocking the old patriarch Daley’s attack but also standing equal. Such talent and heaven-defying power at his age indeed made the people from Devouring Sky Village uneasy.

Time flew by, and five hours passed in a flash, waiting from day to nearly dusk. Neither Ye Tianchen nor Daley returned, making the people of Desolate Stone Village and Devouring Sky Village increasingly anxious. With such a long stalemate, regardless of which side lost or if anyone had been killed, the other side would certainly not hold back and would ensure that not one of them survived.

On Desolate Stone Village’s side.

”Why hasn’t the boss returned yet? Could it be he lost to that old guy?” Hu Gao couldn’t help but ask anxiously.

”Impossible, with Tianchen’s cultivation realm, he should be able to fight against any master in Earth’s three ancient martial worlds.” Zhang Ruotong immediately replied.

”The old patriarch Daley of Devouring Sky Village, having lived around two hundred years and still possessing such formidable combat power, truly seems incredible. Moreover, the giant axe he wields is at least a treasure of the peak late stage Martial Saint realm. It’s truly not easy to deal with him.” Dongfang Meng said with a frown.

”Open plans are easier to deal with than hidden arrows. I’m just afraid that old man lured Ye Tianchen to a deserted place to fight, and there’s an ambush already set up there...” Shuanger said with a bad feeling.

”Oh no, what if the place Tianchen went is right where that terrifying existence behind Devouring Sky Village resides and they’ve been waiting for him there? Wouldn’t Tianchen be facing an attack from two masters? It’s too dangerous!” Shi Hubo immediately thought of this possibility, nearly jumping up. If Ye Tianchen died, their Desolate Stone Village would be doomed too.

”No, I have to go and see. If it’s really like that, the boss is in danger. Two fists can’t fight four hands, especially when facing two strong enemies with equal battle power.” Hu Gao couldn’t sit still and got anxious, wanting to see for himself.

On Devouring Sky Village’s side.

”Why hasn’t the old patriarch returned? Didn’t he tell us to wait for three hours? It’s almost been five!”

”If we wait any longer, it will get dark, which is unfavorable for us.”

”What do we do now? The old patriarch said if he couldn’t return after three hours, we should retreat to Devouring Sky Village and make the entire village go into hiding.”

”No, if the old patriarch doesn’t return, it means he’s been killed by that little brat Ye Tianchen. We must avenge the old patriarch, and do you think the people of Desolate Stone Village will just let us leave?”

”Yes, invade Desolate Stone Village, leave none alive.”

”That’s right, if the old patriarch died and the people of Desolate Stone Village are still alive, that mysterious and terrifying existence won’t spare us. Devouring Sky Village would still be washed in blood, so no matter what, we must kill everyone in Desolate Stone Village, or else none of us will survive.”

Swish!

Hu Gao just flew into the air, intending to find Ye Tianchen, fearing Ye Tianchen was being surrounded. But then, a great sword came slashing down on him, led by a burly man from Devouring Sky Village. He had a mid-stage Martial Sovereign cultivation realm, which was already considered strong among the five of Hu Gao. The ten-plus martial artists from Devouring Sky Village, after unanimous agreement, decided to bloodbath Desolate Stone Village. If the old patriarch Daley was dead, it was revenge for Daley. Even if Daley wasn’t dead, the mysterious terrifying existence behind Devouring Sky Village wouldn’t spare them either. So the bloodbath of Desolate Stone Village was something they must carry out.

Clang!

Hu Gao was no slouch either. He immediately unleashed his Jade Rope, dispersing the sword energy, and coldly looked at the strongman from Devouring Sky Village, saying, ”Do you wish to fight me? I don’t mind killing all of you here.”

”Hmph, let’s start the bloodbath of Desolate Stone Village from now,” the strongman from Devouring Sky Village replied chillily.

Swish! Hu Gao charged towards the strongman from Devouring Sky Village, filled with murderous intent.

Clang! The leading strongman of Devouring Sky Village also wielded a large blade. He slapped the back of the warhorse beneath him with his left hand, leaped up, and rushed towards Hu Gao as well.

Clang! Clang!

The Jade Rope was blocked, and the large blade was also stopped. Hu Gao was taken aback when he saw that the one who blocked his Jade Rope was actually Ye Tianchen, while the one who stopped the strongman’s blade was the old clan leader, Daley.

”Boss, so you’re not dead! I thought you were defeated and died!” Hu Gao chuckled.

”You little brat... Do you wish I were dead?” Ye Tianchen was speechless, glancing at Hu Gao with black lines running down his head.

Everyone was surprised. Ye Tianchen wasn’t defeated, and neither was the old clan leader Daley from Devouring Sky Village. Both of them took their people back inside Desolate Stone Village. As they left, Daley merely said to Ye Tianchen, ”Today’s battle ended without a winner. In three days, I will come to massacre Desolate Stone Village.”

Ye Tianchen, with killing intent surging, responded, ”I’ll give you this chance. Three days later, Desolate Stone Village and Devouring Sky Village will fight to the death.”

”Fine, I will wait for you in Devouring Sky Canyon to bury all the corpses of Desolate Stone Village,” the old clan leader Daley from Devouring Sky Village said and then led all his people away.

Watching Daley and his people leave, Ye Tianchen said nothing but walked back into Desolate Stone Village. Tian Shuang’er, Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, Hu Gao, and Shi Hubo were all unsure of what was happening; no one knew the outcome of the five-hour battle between Ye Tianchen and Daley. Ye Tianchen said nothing, and once back inside Desolate Stone Village, he went into seclusion, leaving everyone quite surprised.

On their way back, the martial artists from Devouring Sky Village were still confident, believing that the old clan leader Daley had been merciful by not killing Ye Tianchen.

”Leader, why did you let that group from Desolate Stone Village live for a few more days?”

”With the clan leader’s cultivation strength, combined with our village’s treasure weapon, it would be easy to massacre Desolate Stone Village.”

”Actually... we shouldn’t have missed this good opportunity, we could’ve wiped out the entire Desolate Stone Village right now.”

Pfft!

The old clan leader Daley spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly falling off his warhorse, which startled everyone. They hurried to help him, but Daley waved them off. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a gleam of malice in his eyes, saying with some resentment, ”Ye Tianchen is indeed an anomaly, with monstrous strength beyond imagination. Especially with his Holy Heaven Prison, it likely surpasses the category of Martial Saint Realm treasures...”

”What? Holy Heaven Prison?”

”A treasure that surpasses the Martial Saint Realm?”

”Could it be...”

The martial artists from Devouring Sky Village, upon hearing Daley’s words, were in disbelief. They had naturally heard about Ye Tianchen’s monstrous feats, but no one expected that Ye Tianchen could severely wound Daley, and that the ”Holy Heaven Prison” in his hand had already surpassed the Martial Saint Realm treasure category. Could it be an Emperor’s Artifact? It left them speechless.

Throughout history, in this martial arts world, the word ”Emperor” represents the ultimate. Whether it is a person or a treasure, anything associated with ”Emperor” signifies power and the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth.

An Emperor’s Artifact, as the name suggests, is a powerful weapon used by figures in the Emperor Realm. Whether it be the supreme beings of the Ancient Alien Race, the Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, or the Great Emperors of the Human Clan, they are all revered by martial artists as emperors. The weapons they use are Emperor’s Artifacts. These artifacts often accompany these supreme beings throughout their lives of fighting and are used during their ascent to the Martial Arts Peak. As these supreme beings grow stronger, their weapons also become more powerful, becoming treasures capable of destroying the heavens and shaking the Heavenly Vault. When these supreme beings approach the end of their lifespans, most choose to leave behind a will within their weapons or pass down their martial arts heritage. Their weapons are everlasting, enduring millions of years of erosion unless broken by another supreme being. From ancient times to the present, the number of remaining Emperor’s Artifacts is very few, and many desire them but cannot obtain them. Finding an Emperor’s Artifact is nearly impossible, let alone subduing one. Without sufficient cultivation, those who approach an Emperor’s Artifact might find themselves obliterated in both body and spirit, not to mention capturing it! (To be continued.
