Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

A mysterious ripple of energy began to emanate from Li Yunwu.

Vaguely, the crowd could almost see a vast and turbulent Spiritual Sea manifesting behind him.

Within its surging tides, a Primordial Mansion seemed to be slowly coalescing!

Although the Primordial Mansion had not yet fully formed, it had already taken on a rudimentary shape!

Half-step Primordial Mansion Realm!

Everyone watched the scene before them, their faces filled with astonishment!

Anyone who stepped into the Primordial Mansion Realm was, without exception, among the top-tier existences in Lei Province!

Li Yunwu was just half a step away from becoming a true Primordial Mansion Realm master.

Across all of Lei Province, there were very few who could overpower him!

'I'm not even at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm yet, and this guy is already on the verge of breaking through to the Primordial Mansion Realm?!'

Yan Zhenfang was inwardly shaken.

As a fellow Patriarch of one of the four great families, Li Yunwu was actually a step ahead of them!

'Half-step Primordial Mansion Realm?'

'Even though he hasn't formed a true Primordial Mansion, he's still a cut above an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm expert!'

'Can Master Ye still get through this safely?'

Liu Yuchan couldn't help but feel a flicker of doubt.

Judging by the strength Ye Chen had shown when he forcefully broke the Yan family's grand formation, dealing with a half-step Primordial Mansion Realm expert shouldn't be a problem.

But no one knew how much energy Ye Chen had expended after his battle with the Yan family!

Was he just putting up a brave front, or was he truly still at ease?

Li Yunwu had clearly not witnessed the battle between Ye Chen and the Yan family.

He looked at Ye Chen with a nonchalant expression, his aura surging as a heaven-filling pressure emanated from him.

His white robes fluttered in the biting cold wind, giving him a decidedly unrestrained air!

"Make me kneel and beg for mercy?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head with a cold laugh. To him, the terrifying pressure of a half-step Primordial Mansion Realm expert felt like a gentle breeze on his face, utterly devoid of any oppressive feeling.

"Still thinking of putting up a desperate struggle?"

Li Yunwu sighed softly. "Fine. People like you tend to have one thing in common."

"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

With that, he took a sudden step forward, and a terrifying aura erupted from him!

Using a profound and bizarre footwork, he appeared directly behind Ye Chen before anyone could even notice!

"Heart-Stealing Palm!"

Immediately after, Li Yunwu thrust a palm toward Ye Chen's chest.

His palm technique was just as profound and unpredictable as his footwork, exquisite and impossible to follow.

He was confident his opponent wouldn't be able to react to this palm strike in time!

"Legend has it that the Li family's ancestors were assassins, which is why their Cultivation Techniques are often so strange and unpredictable!"

"It seems that's really the case!"

The crowd was stunned by Li Yunwu's dazzling technique.

"Excellent, Patriarch!"

"Subdue that brat quickly! I want to take him back and torture him properly!"

Li Yun grinned viciously, as if she could already see the scene of Ye Chen being easily suppressed by Li Yunwu.

However, something unexpected happened.

Li Yunwu's palm strike landed, but the figure before him flickered and vanished. He had struck nothing but air!

"What? An afterimage?!"

Stunned, Li Yunwu whirled around. He saw a flash of golden light, and then his entire body was sent flying as if struck by a heavy blow, crashing violently into one of the Yan family's rockeries.

"A Body Technique like that is riddled with flaws, yet you're proud of it!"

Ye Chen stood where he was, his expression indifferent.

"Now, I'll let you see what a real Body Technique looks like!"

"Wandering Dragon Step!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen's figure vanished completely.

The crowd looked around in astonishment, only to find that they couldn't track Ye Chen's movements at all!

Just as Li Yunwu struggled to his feet from the rubble of the rockery, he suddenly cried out, "Wait, you—"

However, with a dull THUD, he was sent flying again, spraying a trail of blood as he went.

His body was still in mid-air, not yet having hit the ground.

Ye Chen's figure had already reappeared in front of him, and then, he stomped down fiercely with his foot!

"No! Spare me!"

"Otherwise, my family's ancestor—"

Li Yunwu's expression changed drastically, but before he could finish his sentence, Ye Chen's foot was already stomping on his body.

BOOM!

His entire body plummeted, viciously stomped from mid-air to the ground by Ye Chen!

The violent impact shifted all of Li Yunwu's internal organs. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his insides felt as if they had shattered into pieces.

He lay on the ground, twitching faintly, with only a single breath left in him!

Behind him, the illusory Spiritual Sea with its nascent Primordial Mansion had long since dissipated like a bubble.

The crowd watched this scene, too shocked to speak for a moment.

Under Ye Chen's immense power, even an expert at the half-step Primordial Mansion Realm was crushed with ease!

This was simply beyond everyone's imagination!

"Why... why is he so young, yet so powerful!"

"Even if he colluded with the Demon Dao, it shouldn't be possible to reach this level, right?"

Yan Ming's eyes widened in disbelief as he screamed himself hoarse.

The expressions of the other Yan family higher-ups were just as ugly.

One had to understand that the aura Ye Chen was exuding was clearly only at the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

But a Third Layer Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could actually suppress a half-step Primordial Mansion Realm expert with ease?

No one would believe it if you told them!

If this hadn't happened so vividly in public, the Yan family members would have thought they were hallucinating!

"So... so strong!"

Liu Yanran covered her red lips with a delicate hand, her beautiful eyes filled with deep shock.

Liu Yuchan was also momentarily stunned into silence.

"I never expected Elder Ye to be this incredible!" Chen Jue's face was full of amazement, which then broke into a wide grin. "The Treasure Pavilion has really struck gold this time!"

His Alchemy skills are superb, and his strength is immense.

Chen Jue couldn't help but silently admire himself.

'After all, I was the one who recruited Ye Chen! I really do have a good eye for talent!'

Just then, a figure suddenly flew over and landed beside Liu Yuchan and Liu Yanran.

The two of them started in alarm. When they got a clear look at the person before them, they both exclaimed, "Father!"

"Father?!"

Chen Jue, who was standing to the side, hastily turned his head, and his expression changed at once.

The middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared was none other than the Patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Kunlun!

"Father, why are you here?" Liu Yuchan's expression shifted slightly, and then he seemed to understand something.

'It was the Token! The Yan family crushed the Token, so Father must have sensed it and rushed here!'

"Is that man, Ye Chen, the Elder Ye who refined the Three Corpse Soul-Restoring Pill for you?"

Liu Kunlun said, his expression grave.

"That's right!"

Liu Yuchan nodded quickly. "Father, are you thinking of taking his side?"

"Take his side? No!"

Liu Kunlun shook his head firmly. "Do you have any idea what kind of terrifying disaster he's facing right now?"

"We'll talk after he survives this calamity!"
