Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

A terrifying, transparent giant snake, as majestic as a mountain, lowered its head, its astonishing might nearly causing the world to collapse around it!

Countless disciples of the Yan family retreated, yet even as their hearts trembled in shock, a trace of fanaticism emerged on their faces!

"It's our Yan family's Clan Protection Array! I haven't seen it activated in ages. I never imagined it would be this terrifying!"

"With this array, we should be able to suppress even an expert of the Primordial Mansion Realm! Let alone this follower of the Demon Dao!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the giant snake suddenly opened its cavernous maw and roared, diving down toward Ye Chen!

A series of sonic booms erupted from thin air along its path!

The very air was being torn asunder by the force!

Everyone watched in shock, their eyes fixed on the tiny figure beneath the giant snake.

Yet, under the giant snake's terrifying pressure, Ye Chen appeared perfectly calm.

He simply raised his head, the enormous, coiling figure reflected in his dark pupils.

"Sect Leader… this!" Beside him, Nine-Fingered Demon Slaughter began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Are you afraid?" Ye Chen asked with a light smile. His composure seemed to be contagious, affecting Nine-Fingered Demon Slaughter beside him.

He calmed himself slightly and said in a heavy voice, "Sect Leader, I will not back down!"

"I will stand with you, Sect Leader, to the end!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen gave a slight nod. "Good. A very wise choice."

With that, he simply raised a hand and pointed a single finger toward the sky.

"Hm?"

"Has this kid gone mad?"

"Or has he been scared witless?"

The huge commotion had long since alerted everyone in Luoyun City.

Many of the experts who had gathered cried out in astonishment at the sight.

That was the Yan family's Clan Protection Array! Its power was terrifying, enough to move mountains and part the seas!

How could this young man be so arrogant?

The members of the Yan family laughed mockingly.

"With this one strike, that Ye Chen will surely be torn to pieces!"

"What a shame. I was hoping to capture him and torture him for a good while! I didn't think he'd just commit suicide."

The next moment, however, all voices of doubt fell silent.

As Ye Chen pointed his finger, the giant snake that was diving with immense power instantly shattered, exploded in midair, and vanished into nothing!

This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.

"What?"

"How is this possible?!"

Yan Zhenfang roared in disbelief, "My Yan family's array can contend with even a Primordial Mansion expert! This guy… how could he destroy it with a single finger?!"

A chill rising from the depths of their hearts instantly enveloped every member of the Yan family.

Under their despairing gazes, Ye Chen, like a young deity, took a cold step forward.

BOOM!

In that instant, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from his body!

A boundless golden Spiritual Sea materialized behind him, its light dazzling and its power world-shaking!

"G-golden?"

"How can a golden Spiritual Sea exist in this world? It's impossible!"

Yan Ming and the other Yan family Elders all gasped.

A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to them.

Had their Yan family truly provoked a terrifying existence they could not afford to offend?

"Making an enemy of me was the most foolish decision of your lives!"

Ye Chen spoke coldly, "Today, the Yan family will be annihilated!"

With that, he pointed his finger once more!

The golden Spiritual Sea behind him surged forth, blanketing the sky as it rushed toward the Yan family. Everything in its path was obliterated by the brilliant golden light!

"No! Patriarch, save me!"

Countless members of the Yan family screamed themselves hoarse.

Among them were many of the Yan family's higher-ups!

Under Ye Chen's unrivaled power, they were utterly unable to put up even a sliver of resistance!

"You bastard! How can I let the Yan family be destroyed before my very eyes?!"

Yan Zhenfang's eyes were wide and bloodshot with fury!

He gathered all his strength, unleashing the full power of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and furiously struck out with his palm!

However, when his all-out attack struck the golden Spiritual Sea, it failed to even create a single ripple.

"No…" In that moment, Yan Zhenfang seemed to age several decades.

His heart was filled with despair!

Just as the Yan family's entire estate was about to be annihilated, an angry shout suddenly rang out!

"Stop!"

"Ye Chen, don't even think about continuing your rampage today!"

Two streaks of golden light suddenly shot across the field, blocking Ye Chen's path!

It was the two great Battle Buddhas from Vajra Temple!

Their bodies shone with a brilliant golden light, and their flesh was as tough and imperishable as metal and stone. Their auras were even a cut above that of the Thunder Sound Battle Buddha!

"It's people from Vajra Temple!"

"The experts from Vajra Temple are here! We're saved!"

The survivors of the Yan family cried out in joyful surprise, as if they had just seen a glimmer of hope for survival!

At this, Nine-Fingered Demon Slaughter's expression changed slightly.

'If experts from other factions gather here too, things could get difficult to handle today!'

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot—you overestimate your strength."

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged. He flicked his palm out lightly, and an immense, irresistible force slammed into the two Battle Buddhas.

BOOM!

As if struck by a massive blow, the two Battle Buddhas spat up blood and were sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the ruins of the Yan family's estate!

"What?"

This scene once again left the onlookers completely stunned.

The two Battle Buddhas couldn't even withstand a single casual move from Ye Chen?

"Too weak. Still far too weak."

Ye Chen shook his head, slightly disappointed.

Having condensed his golden Spiritual Sea and reached the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, he was already brimming with confidence, his combat power terrifying to the extreme.

He had no qualms about causing a huge scene in Luoyun City. In fact, it was a perfect opportunity to test his current combat strength.

He hadn't expected that these two Battle Buddhas, whose strength was comparable to the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, couldn't even withstand a single casual strike from him.

This made things rather uninteresting for Ye Chen.

"Kid, don't get too arrogant!"

"Today, the Li family will take you down!"

Just then, another faction arrived on the scene.

They glared at Ye Chen with faces full of hatred. One woman, in particular, looked at him with extreme malice. The moment she saw Ye Chen, she lunged forward to attack, only to be held back by those beside her!

"Ye Chen!"

"You killed my father and my husband! I, Li Yun, cannot live under the same sky as you!"

Li Yun had bitten her lip so hard it bled. She clutched a sharp dagger, wishing she could tear Ye Chen limb from limb.

"Don't be hasty. Once I've captured him, I'll hand him over for you to deal with."

"It would be best to torture him slowly. Don't kill him too quickly."

Beside her, the Li family's Patriarch, Li Yunwu, smiled faintly. His white robes fluttered, and he projected a compelling Immortal Aura, seemingly oblivious to the ruins of the Yan family.

"I already have one foot in the Primordial Mansion Realm. Within the Spirit Sea Realm, no one is my match. You should just obediently kneel and surrender. It will save you a world of pain."

Li Yunwu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down on Ye Chen with utter disdain.
