Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Deep within the Demon Sect's dungeon.

Luo Sandao looked at Ye Chen with a smug expression and sneered, "Surprised, kid?"

"You never expected my blade techniques to have improved this much, did you?"

"You may have some skill, but your cultivation realm is low. And I possess a top-tier blade technique on the verge of comprehending blade intent!"

"What right do you have to act so arrogant in front of me?!"

He raised the great saber in his hand, and a sinister, cold glint flashed across the blade.

"This great saber of mine is called Moon-slaying!"

"And it's an intermediate-grade Spiritual Weapon!"

As he spoke, a terrifying killing intent emerged on Luo Sandao's face.

"Once I'm done killing you, the Saint Heir, I'll bathe the Luoyun Sect in blood and make the entire sect accompany you in death!"

Ye Chen's eyes flickered. He couldn't help but ask, "Bathe the Luoyun Sect in blood? You're a Supreme Elder of the Luoyun Sect. Why would you have such thoughts?"

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Luo Sandao burst out laughing. "If that scoundrel Xu Yingwu hadn't ambushed me, how could I have been trapped here for five years!"

"Five years is enough time to erase many things! But it's a pity for them that I didn't waste away. In these five years, my strength has grown far, far greater than before!"

"Just you wait, Luoyun Sect! I'm back!"

He raised his Moon-slaying Blade and swung it at Ye Chen's neck.

The sharp blade qi caused a stinging sensation on Ye Chen's skin before it even got close.

Just then, a brilliant light suddenly surged from Ye Chen's palm.

BOOM!

Ye Chen had summoned a Token that pulsed with an ancient, profound aura!

The ancient Token was covered in mystical patterns. As it shimmered with golden light, it forcefully blocked the Moon-slaying Blade!

Sharp blade qi erupted outwards, threatening to pierce through everything!

But no matter how much force Luo Sandao exerted, the Token was like an unbreakable shield, absorbing all the blade qi completely.

For a moment, Luo Sandao was stunned.

"What kind of treasure is that? How can it have such a miraculous effect?"

Ye Chen didn't speak. He channeled the Spiritual Power within his body and poured it into the Token.

A violent aura instantly flared up. With an icy gaze, Ye Chen commanded the Token to smash viciously toward Luo Sandao.

BOOM!

Luo Sandao only saw a flash of golden light before a terrifying attack slammed into the Moon-slaying Blade he held defensively in front of him.

As if struck by a heavy blow, his chest tightened, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, staggering backward.

Even the Moon-slaying Blade was nearly knocked from his grasp!

"How is this possible..."

He panted heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But before Luo Sandao could even recover, Ye Chen had already directed the Token to attack him again!

Faintly, the patterns on the Token seemed to flow like water, and at the same time, new information appeared in Ye Chen's mind.

'This Token is called the Ancient God Order?!'

Through this information, Ye Chen learned the name of the ancient Token.

At the same time, a vision appeared before his eyes.

He seemed to see a vast, endless complex of magnificent palaces.

The palaces were situated within a mountain range, enveloped by a five-colored celestial glow. The entire range was wreathed in a light mist, looking as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

Ye Chen was startled, only then realizing that this mountain range was actually floating in the sky!

The swirling white mist was, in fact, the clouds of the upper atmosphere.

Just as Ye Chen was reeling in shock from the sight before him,

a sudden cry of pain broke his train of thought, pulling him back from the vision.

"Stop! Stop hitting me!"

"I surrender! Is that not enough? Lord Saint Heir, please spare this old man!"

"I'm an old man! Even if I haven't made great contributions to the Luoyun Sect, I've still put in hard work. There's no need to be so merciless, is there?"

Luo Sandao was now curled up in a corner, his face twisted in pain. He was covered in wounds, his breathing faint, and his Moon-slaying Blade was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Chen was a little surprised.

'This Luo Sandao seemed so ferocious and evil before. I didn't expect him to give in so quickly.'

The Ancient God Order transformed into a stream of light and returned to Ye Chen's hand.

Under the suppression of the Ancient God Order, the Moon-slaying Blade was completely useless, despite being an intermediate-grade Spiritual Weapon.

It was utterly suppressed.

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't seem to intend to attack again, Luo Sandao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He struggled to his feet, his gaze toward Ye Chen now filled with fear.

"I never imagined... In the past five years, while my cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, the Luoyun Sect's development seems to have been even more absurd!"

"To think that I can't even defeat a junior now!"

Luo Sandao sighed with emotion, a desolate look on his face.

'If I can't even beat the Saint Heir, how can I talk about bathing the entire Luoyun Sect in blood?'

"You're mistaken. The Luoyun Sect is gone."

Seeing the state he was in, Ye Chen decided there was no longer a reason to hide it.

"The Luoyun Sect is gone?" Luo Sandao froze.

"That's right."

"The power outside now is called the Demon Sect!"

"And I am no longer the Saint Heir of the Luoyun Sect."

Ye Chen looked at Luo Sandao with an indifferent gaze.

"The Demon Sect?" Luo Sandao's eyes widened in astonishment, his withered face etched with wrinkles. "Then what about the Luoyun Sect? Where did the Luoyun Sect go?"

"I destroyed it." Ye Chen's tone was completely flat.

Hearing this, Luo Sandao was silent for a moment before he suddenly threw his head back and roared with laughter.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"That Luoyun Sect committed countless evils, even trying to murder me, their own Supreme Elder!"

"When I saw your strength, I should have realized! For the Luoyun Sect to have designs on you... wasn't that just courting death? They deserved to be wiped out."

"Why exactly were you here?" Ye Chen asked with a frown.

"That scoundrel Xu Yingwu is no good!"

Luo Sandao recalled the events of the past, a flash of anger crossing his face.

"Back then, after I discovered he was colluding with evil cultivators, he actually tried to kill me to silence me!"

"Colluding with evil cultivators?" Ye Chen's eyes flashed.

"That's right! How do you think Xu Yingwu learned the method of drawing your blood and bone for Alchemy? He learned it from an evil cultivator!"

"When he saw that I had discovered his collusion with the evil cultivator, he immediately hatched a wicked plan, lured me here, and used that demonic sword to trap me!"

Luo Sandao's face was full of indignation.

"Demonic sword?" Ye Chen's expression shifted.

Luo Sandao had mentioned that name right after he first broke free.

'Could the terrifying Demonic Qi that surged out of the dungeon earlier have been caused by that demonic sword?'

"No one knows why this demonic sword appeared beneath the Luoyun Sect."

"In any case, for hundreds and thousands of years, no one has ever been able to pull it out."

The moment Luo Sandao's voice fell, a black gleam shot up from below and hovered in front of Ye Chen.
