Chapter 2145: Chapter 2143: A Drop of Blood Left by the Peacock Great Bright King?

Ye Tianchen is very strong!

Princess Zixuan is not weak!

However, Elder Sang Hua is even stronger. Even if Ye Tianchen and Princess Zixuan join forces, they might not be able to defeat Elder Sang Hua. Of course, if Ye Tianchen goes all out, he can still engage in a fierce battle with Elder Sang Hua; the outcome of life and death in that scenario would be uncertain!

Yet, what Elder Sang Hua never expected was that, although she initially overpowered Ye Tianchen and Princess Zixuan—unable to kill them in a short time but still managing to suppress them, controlling the entire situation—Ye Tianchen would use such a move. After shattering all the petals’ killing intent, instead of attacking Elder Sang Hua, Ye Tianchen rushed toward the artifact on the platform!

Due to Ye Tianchen’s sudden action, Elder Sang Hua was caught off guard. When she shattered the Buddhist Rune Net that Ye Tianchen had cast and chased him, he had already grabbed the small artifact with his right hand, raising it high to threaten her!

”Put down the artifact, and I can grant you a painless death!” Elder Sang Hua said, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

”What if I don’t put it down? Are you planning to charge over here? That’s quite dangerous; if you’re not careful, this artifact might shatter on the ground!” Ye Tianchen said with a playful smile.

Elder Sang Hua shot Ye Tianchen a deadly look. If looks could kill, Ye Tianchen would have died countless times already. Yet she calmly said, ”You’ve come this far but refuse to convert to the Buddhist Sect. Your path is doomed. Even if you convert now, it’s too late. Put down this artifact passed down through the Buddhist Sect, and I’ll make your death a bit easier!”

”Really? You make a good point,” Ye Tianchen said, putting on a helpless expression.

”Good, then put it down,” Elder Sang Hua said, extending her hand.

”No way. In my eyes, dying isn’t the worst thing; being coerced is. I’m someone who would rather die than be coerced!” Ye Tianchen suddenly said with a serious expression.

”Then... go to hell!” Elder Sang Hua suddenly attacked. The distance was so close, Ye Tianchen was taken aback and quickly retreated!

Ye Tianchen didn’t expect Elder Sang Hua to be so close, especially since he held the artifact in his hand. It was clear that Elder Sang Hua was very anxious about this artifact, worrying about its potential damage; logically, she wouldn’t attack recklessly. But she did make such a rapid and fierce move. Is it because Elder Sang Hua knows the artifact can’t be destroyed? Or is it because she believes, at such close range, Ye Tianchen can’t withstand her strength?

Elder Sang Hua was incredibly fast, her actions very fierce. Her right hand thrust the flower sword toward Ye Tianchen, a string of sword flowers bursting forth, while her left hand grabbed for the artifact in Ye Tianchen’s hand. She was a formidable opponent. Stunned, Ye Tianchen quickly retreated by stepping back with his right foot, avoiding a head-on clash with Elder Sang Hua’s attack. But just as he retreated, Elder Sang Hua was already upon him, her sword pointing at his brow!

”Careful!” Princess Zixuan rushed over, her palm striking at Elder Sang Hua’s back!

Elder Sang Hua frowned and turned to meet the attack head-on, clashing directly with Princess Zixuan. The two forces collided, but Elder Sang Hua still pushed Princess Zixuan back. However, Ye Tianchen took the opportunity to leap into the air, laughing as he looked at Elder Sang Hua and said, ”You’re forcing me to destroy these two items. In that case, don’t blame me!”

As Ye Tianchen spoke, he looked at the artifact in his right hand. Though small, inside it was a drop of blood that seemed to have withstood the test of ages without vanishing. Beside it stood a peacock feather, vivid and lifelike, containing a powerful energy. Ye Tianchen now wanted to destroy these two items because they seemed to him to be the ones dominating the Buddhist Sect of West State, turning it into its current state!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen slammed his palm down heavily on the artifact in his right hand. However, when his palm struck the artifact, a rune suddenly emanated from it, blocking his force and continuing to circulate, causing Ye Tianchen to frown in surprise!

”Hmph, this is an artifact passed down through the Buddhist Sect, protected by powerful runes. You don’t have the strength to destroy it!” Elder Sang Hua snorted coldly.

”Not necessarily; I haven’t used my full strength yet. Breaking through the Buddhist runes is difficult for ordinary divine skills, but the power of the physical body is its nemesis. Fortunately, my physical body power is strong enough!” Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Ye Tianchen stretched out his right hand, spreading five fingers, each ignited with a golden force, this power continuously burning. A stream of formidable power emanated, truly astounding. Ye Tianchen focused his physical body power to a peak, concentrating it all on the five fingers of his right hand. This concentration of power makes it even stronger!

”You actually possess such formidable physical body power, already at the Late Stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, right?” Elder Sang Hua asked in surprise.

”Yes, your guess is correct. I think with this physical body power, I should be able to shatter the Buddhist Rune protecting this vessel, right?” Ye Tianchen calmly replied.

Elder Sang Hua furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, ”Your cultivation realm is at Mid-stage Martial Saint, but your physical body power is at the Late Stage Martial Saint level. It’s really strange; your cultivation method is quite different from other martial artists!”

”Thank you for the compliment. Let me see what strange things are in the vessel you’re guarding!” Ye Tianchen spoke as he slowly pressed his right hand onto the rune on the vessel.

Boom!

It wasn’t a very loud sound, just like glass shattering. When Ye Tianchen concentrated the Late Stage Martial Saint physical body power into his five fingers and pressed onto the Buddhist Rune protecting the vessel, the runes gradually crumbled!

”Stop! This is a great offense!” Elder Sang Hua exclaimed in horror and charged at Ye Tianchen recklessly!

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to shatter the vessel in one swift move, suddenly, as his palm broke through the Buddhist Rune but hadn’t yet pressed onto the vessel, a blood-red light beam shot out, instantly enveloping the entire Buddha statue. At the same time, Ye Tianchen, Elder Sang Hua, and Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t see anything clearly. All they could see was the blood-red light beam, accompanied by a force that knocked them down from mid-air, onto the ground!

Ye Tianchen, Princess Zi Xuan, and Elder Sang Hua were all forcefully hit by the blast and fell from mid-air. The three of them furrowed their brows tightly, gazing up in shock at the sky. The vessel was spinning continuously, a blood light surging upwards, as if some divine power was about to burst out from within. At this moment, Elder Sang Hua knelt down on the ground, trembling as he spoke:

”Ming King is manifesting, we humbly invite Ming King to reveal his holiness!”

Wow!

Following that, the blood-red light that surged from the vessel slowly formed a small human silhouette. The peacock feather that was on the vessel floated and merged into this tiny blood-colored human silhouette. From the form of this blood-red human silhouette, it was clear this wasn’t merely from the Human Clan!

”I have waited for too long; I left a drop of blood in the Earth Cultivation World hoping it would manifest a formidable control power, and it unexpectedly revealed itself now. You, as the guardian of my blood drop, have greatly failed!” An icy voice came from within the blood-red human silhouette.

”Ming King above, it’s my lack of thorough protection, please punish me!” Elder Sang Hua was terrified to the extreme, his voice trembling uncontrollably as he spoke.

”Alright, come forward!” the blood-colored silhouette coldly commanded.

Elder Sang Hua hesitated for a moment, then flew towards the blood-red silhouette in the sky. Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan were shocked; neither of them had expected that such a drop of blood contains such formidable power.

”Is... is this blood-colored silhouette formed from that drop of blood in the vessel? Why do I sense an evil and terrifying aura within it?” Princess Zi Xuan asked worriedly.

”Ming King? Ming King? Could it be Peacock Great Bright King?” Ye Tianchen was startled, asking involuntarily.

”Peacock Great Bright King? How is that possible? This creature in the Buddhist Sect’s legacy is known as the most powerful Demon Clan follower who ever converted. It once followed the Buddhist Emperor. How could it have left a drop of blood here? Could it still be alive in this world?” Princess Zi Xuan, incredibly shocked, asked incredulously.

”I don’t know either, but judging by current circumstances, there’s a high chance this drop of blood was indeed left by Peacock Great Bright King!” Ye Tianchen said solemnly, feeling a sense of impending doom.

Peacock Great Bright King!

Within the Buddhist Sect, it is a well-renowned existence, known to all. No one knows if it still lives; it was a powerhouse praised by the Buddhist Emperor. Ye Tianchen personally witnessed the young Buddhist Emperor subduing Peacock Great Bright King. This entity was almost as strong as the Buddhist Emperor. Even a drop of its blood might carry the power to destroy heaven and earth. Now, he and Princess Zi Xuan are truly in grave danger...(To be continued.
