Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

This group of people had treated him like a lamb for the slaughter. They hadn't paid him any mind, focused only on forcing his secrets out of him.

Now that they saw his formidable strength and realized he couldn't be underestimated, they all fell silent.

'They think they can just pretend none of this ever happened?'

'Fat chance!'

A fierce battle intent flared in Ye Chen's dark eyes. A violent aura erupted from him, and his white robes fluttered despite the still air.

He swept his gaze across their frustrated faces, noting how they dared not speak. The mockery in his eyes deepened.

"Hmph!"

"This kid gets one lucky break and suddenly he doesn't know his place. Does he really think he can make an enemy of all our factions?"

Many of the experts shouted in anger. They were all powerful figures in their respective great prefectures; when had they ever been so humiliated?

Just then.

A powerful aura erupted from the crowd. The Buddha's Son, enveloped in a sacred, radiant light, stared directly at Ye Chen, all traces of contempt gone from his face. "Then let me be your opponent."

"It's the Buddha's Son from the Holy Temple!"

"The Holy Temple is a top-tier power from one of the three great eastern prefectures of the dynasty! With the Buddha's Son himself taking action against Ye Chen, this should be a sure win!"

The crowd broke into discussion, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Come!"

To the Buddha's Son's surprise, Ye Chen merely gave him an indifferent glance before attacking directly. Shrouded in a faint cyan light, he charged forward!

His unstoppable momentum caused the expressions of many nearby experts to shift. Even the Buddha's Son's eyes grew grave.

Sacred light flared up like a Flame. The Buddha's Son's expression was solemn and majestic, as if he were a reincarnated Buddha. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a boundless power, striking out at Ye Chen!

A purple Spiritual Sea churned behind him. The aura of the Primordial Mansion Realm's Seventh Layer startled many.

"As expected of the Holy Temple's most outstanding prodigy in the last hundred years."

"His power... he's already broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm?"

The crowd found it hard to believe.

"BOOM!"

Under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Chen's cyan-glowing fist instantly slammed into the sacred light surrounding the Buddha's Son, colliding with his palm.

Instantly, an indescribably terrifying power swept out in all directions like a storm!

The sacred light around the Buddha's Son's body fluctuated violently!

The dense, cyan dragon scales on Ye Chen's body shifted slightly, swiftly neutralizing the encroaching power.

The Buddha's Son's expression changed, however. His blood roiled within him. After taking Ye Chen's blow head-on, he felt as if he was about to buckle!

"Your physical body is powerful indeed, but I'm afraid it's not enough to break my Sacred Domain."

The Buddha's Son's expression was grave. The sacred light enveloping his body quickly stabilized once more.

The crowd was shocked to see this.

"Legend says the Buddha's Son is the reincarnation of an eminent monk from ancient times. He was born with a self-activated Sacred Domain!"

"Whenever he fights, the Sacred Domain envelops him, granting him boundless combat strength! The Buddha's Son can even hold his own against an Eighth Layer Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator!"

They had often heard that the Holy Temple's Buddha's Son possessed an innate Sacred Domain and that his talent was astonishing.

Seeing him in action with their own eyes, they couldn't help but be filled with awe.

'With such a powerful physique, combined with the profound foundation of a Seventh Layer Primordial Mansion Realm expert, how could Ye Chen possibly be his opponent?'

"I've said it before. If you obediently reveal your secrets, the Buddha is merciful. It might not be impossible for me to protect you for a time."

"Why must you be so stubborn and insist on making an enemy of everyone?"

The Buddha's Son spoke calmly.

His voice seemed to possess a peculiar, bewitching quality, like countless Buddhas chanting sutras from the heavens above. The sound descended, making one's mind grow muddled and difficult to keep clear.

Even Ye Chen was surprised by the Buddha's Son's ability.

But he possessed the Chaos Five Elements Body. His body was like chaos itself, aligned with the five elements, allowing him to easily block out all negative effects. Thus, his mind remained unaffected.

"You are indeed a powerful opponent."

"I just wonder how many rounds you'll last!"

Ye Chen's battle intent surged. He paid no heed to the Buddha's Son's incessant chanting. Instead, he let out a loud laugh, took a step forward, and a violent wave of Spiritual Power erupted from him!

He fully activated his two top-tier Cultivation Techniques: the True Dragon Jade Emperor Sutra and the World-Shaking Record of the Demon God!

At that moment, he felt as if he could look down upon the entire world!

"Suppress!"

Ye Chen's expression was impassive. With a wave of his hand, a brilliant cyan light cascaded down like a river of stars, pressing down upon the Buddha's Son!

The terrifying might made the Buddha's Son's expression shift!

He reinforced his Sacred Domain, then tore apart the string of Buddha Beads in his hand!

Before the individual Buddha Beads could hit the ground, they floated into the corners of his Sacred Domain, stabilizing it and raising its power to a new level!

In just a few exchanges, the Buddha's Son had already displayed terrifying techniques far superior to those of Lin Ze and Xu Qianqiu!

The crowd was utterly terrified and shocked.

The brilliant cyan light poured down, rapidly striking the dazzlingly golden Sacred Domain!

Instantly, it was as if an ancient divine hammer, swung by a celestial god, had smashed into the earth. The Sacred Domain around the Buddha's Son took a heavy blow, letting out a tremendous, muffled THUD!

The Buddha Beads floating in the corners were nearly knocked out of the air by the impact!

The Buddha's Son's expression flickered. Ye Chen's strength was far beyond his imagination. No longer daring to be overconfident, he immediately thought of retreating.

However, why would Ye Chen give him the chance to escape unscathed?

"Cangming Nether Emperor Hand!"

A phantasmal image of an ancient god, as if having crossed the endless river of time, suddenly appeared before them!

In that moment, a terrifying aura that made everyone tremble and their faces drain of color cascaded down!

Even the members of a powerful Demon Dao faction like Cyan Rainbow Hall couldn't suppress the urge to prostrate themselves in worship upon seeing the phantasmal ancient god!

"How... How can this be?"

"How can this guy be so powerful?!"

Song Yubing's face was deathly pale, her heart reeling with a shock that was beyond words.

"Today, you die!"

Ye Chen's expression was impassive. He looked at the Buddha's Son and swung his hand down!

The phantasmal ancient god behind him mirrored the motion, pressing its palm down. A terrifying power that seemed capable of collapsing the very void spread out.

Even with the protection of his Sacred Domain, the Buddha's Son's face contorted in terror, his heart filled with dread.

"What are you all standing around for? Are you just going to watch me die?!"

He could no longer maintain his calm and composed demeanor, shouting in desperation.

Hearing his words, the experts from the Holy Temple prepared to intervene, only to see dense patterns emerge as a terrifying Array materialized out of thin air!
