Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"You… What did you say?"

"Copulate?"

The Realm Spirit's words were like a clap of thunder, exploding in Ye Chen's mind!

He looked at the holy, elegant woman before him, who was like a celestial fairy, and for a moment thought he must have misheard!

"That's right. Copulate."

The Realm Spirit seemed to notice Ye Chen's confusion and explained, "You were able to unravel the secrets of the Guardian Array. That means you are the fated one of this True Dragon's burial ground."

"As the Realm Spirit, I have stood guard here for countless ages, waiting for the arrival of the next master."

"Although your power is low, when I look into your past and future, all I see is chaos!"

"You are no ordinary person. You have already earned my approval."

"After years of nourishment, this burial ground has become a world of its own. However, over the long eons, it is destined to gradually fall into decline and become ruins."

"I see hope in you… If you take control of this place, perhaps you can bring new life to this grotto-heaven!"

"Besides, I have grown weary of this endless waiting."

"I… I want to go out and see the world, too."

The Realm Spirit's explanation left Ye Chen so shocked he was speechless.

"Are you saying that the only way to take control of this grotto-heaven is to copulate with you?" he asked, swallowing hard.

"That is correct." There was not a trace of impurity in the Realm Spirit's holy gaze.

"…"

Ye Chen took a deep breath.

His gaze couldn't help but wander over the Realm Spirit's exquisite and curvaceous body. Blood rushed to his head, and his whole body felt hot!

It was truly unimaginable.

The way to take control of the burial ground was actually to gain the Realm Spirit's approval and copulate with her.

Ye Chen found the whole thing absurd.

The Realm Spirit was just too beautiful. Her every frown and smile was enough to make one lose their senses.

Ye Chen bit his tongue sharply. He tried to suppress the fire in his heart and force himself to calm down.

'This isn't the time to be thinking about this!'

He still had so many unanswered questions!

But the Realm Spirit seemed to read his mind and reminded him, "When the time is up, the Dragon Prison Cave's Guardian Array will forcibly trigger a Spiritual Power tide to expel all outsiders from the cave."

"That includes you."

"You'd best not waste the time you have now."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's heart tightened.

"Then should we, right now…?"

"No, wait." The Realm Spirit looked at Ye Chen. "I've changed my mind."

"You should first comprehend the True Dragon Jade Emperor Sutra."

she said out of the blue.

"...Why?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

"This is a test for you."

"Only if you successfully comprehend the True Dragon Jade Emperor Sutra within three days will I copulate with you."

"Otherwise, don't even think about it."

the Realm Spirit said faintly.

With that, she turned her face away and stopped looking at Ye Chen.

"…" Ye Chen was a bit dumbfounded.

'What is with this Realm Spirit's train of thought?'

'How can she change her mind just like that?'

He couldn't quite understand the Realm Spirit's thinking.

But he felt that in this moment, the Realm Spirit seemed a bit more human than before.

'Fine, I'll comprehend the True Dragon Jade Emperor Sutra first and worry about the rest later.'

Ye Chen shook his head, sat down cross-legged, and focused his consciousness within his body.

For now, he would focus wholeheartedly on comprehending the True Dragon Jade Emperor Sutra.

Everything else could wait!

Streams of gilded characters transformed into profound symbols, arranging themselves chaotically in Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Chen struggled to discern their meaning.

Before his eyes, a vast, ancient continent seemed to appear.

Then, a claw suddenly reached out and shattered the majestic, boundless continent with a single swipe!

It was an ancient True Dragon!

Its body was immeasurably vast. A single claw was the size of a planet, and its pair of pupils, glinting with a vicious light, were like two blazing suns, their brilliant light reflecting the myriad galaxies.

It roared as it roamed the cosmos. The terrifying storms that ravaged the Star Sea blew against its body but failed to harm even a single scale.

What an unbelievably powerful physical body it must have possessed to traverse the heavens so freely, fearing no void storm?

Ye Chen was shaken to his core.

Unwittingly, the entire sutra composed of gilded characters began to gradually dissipate.

His physical body also seemed to be undergoing some kind of profound change, imperceptible to the naked eye.

...

"Are you certain that Ye Chen disappeared in this area?"

Within the Dragon Prison Cave, experts from countless factions gathered at the continent's edge.

They stared at the vast Star Sea before them, their eyes filled with fervent greed.

"That's right." Lin Ze nodded. "I'm certain. I was fighting him at the time, about to subdue him."

"Unexpectedly, he had some unimaginable trump cards and methods, and he just vanished right here."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was stunned.

As time passed, more and more people noticed the gathering here.

Thus, they too began to converge on this location.

Nearly all of the major outside forces that had broken into the Dragon Prison Cave were now gathered here!

"The nearby space is stable, with no fluctuations."

"In my opinion, it's highly likely he will reappear here."

Saint Mother Jinglian stared at the void before her and said coldly, "He couldn't have left via spatial travel. At his realm, he simply doesn't have the ability to traverse the void."

"The Dragon Prison Cave is vast and boundless, with many small hidden spaces within it!"

"He most likely stumbled upon one of the hidden spaces here and escaped into it to evade Young Master Lin's pursuit."

"This is the nexus point connecting that small space to the Dragon Prison Cave. He can't hide inside forever. If he comes out, he will have to pass through this spot."

"We just need to wait here for him."

Saint Mother Jinglian's words were met with approval from most of the people present.

After all, her realm was already extremely close to Divinity Transformation, so her understanding of the void was naturally far superior to that of an ordinary Cultivator.

"In other words, we just need to lie in wait."

A vicious glint flashed through the Buddha's Son's eyes.

The other experts all had their own schemes, pondering silently.

They had been searching the Dragon Prison Cave for a long time but hadn't found a single trace of any Spiritual Objects!

Perhaps there were treasures to be found in those hidden spaces!

But so far, none of them had been able to find a single hidden space.

Therefore, a single thought surfaced in the minds of all the experts present.

When Ye Chen appeared, they would strip him of his treasures and then force him to reveal the method for entering the hidden space!

At that moment, everyone realized that Ye Chen definitely knew many secrets about the Dragon Prison Cave!

They had no intention of leaving empty-handed, nor did they want to continue wasting their efforts searching aimlessly.

The only choice now was obviously to wait patiently for Ye Chen to appear!
