Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The three heads of the Three-Corpse Reverend moved in unison, each one spewing a torrent of baleful energy at Ye Chen.

The torrent was immense, like a colossal wave blotting out the sky. Wherever it passed, the very air was corroded into nothing. A mere sliver of its power grazed the Liu family's estate, instantly melting a large section of brick and tile in a truly shocking display.

"Be careful!"

"That's the Three-Corpse Reverend's Wave of Extinction! Any living thing it touches will be instantly reduced to a pool of blood, which then nourishes him and further advances his cultivation!"

The sudden ferocity of the Three-Corpse Reverend's attack was terrifying. After his initial shock, Liu Kunlun quickly shouted a warning to Ye Chen.

Even the look in Song Yubing's eyes grew grave.

As a guest from Cyan Rainbow Hall, she should have been counted among the invincible Cultivators in Lei Province.

Yet, no one had expected that the two fiends who had just appeared would both possess a level of cultivation a notch higher than her own.

Although their cultivation foundations were far inferior to that of a disciple from a major power like herself, the gap in their realms was too great. The attacks from the Heart-Stealing Old Fiend and the Three-Corpse Reverend still left her shaken.

"It's nothing."

The Three-Corpse Reverend's Wave of Extinction surged forward, threatening to melt the very world, but Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged, his face as tranquil as still water.

He tightened his grip on his sword and, as if completely ignoring the torrent of destruction about to engulf him, unleashed a flurry of sword phantoms aimed directly at the Heart-Stealing Old Fiend.

Overwhelmingly sharp Sword Qi enveloped the Heart-Stealing Old Fiend. He let out a desperate, hoarse scream; no matter what he tried, he could not break through the light of Ye Chen's blade.

He was filled with utter fury. 'This kid is outrageously talented! To be able to fight so many realms above his own and actually suppress me!'

"Green Soul Frost-Gold Curse!"

From within the fiend's mangled flesh, a flash of purplish-gold light suddenly shot out. An eerily green Talisman appeared, erupting in a blaze of brilliant light!

Within the blinding flames, countless talismanic runes surged toward the sky. It was as if a demon god from the depths of hell was intoning a soul-reaping incantation, emanating an aura that chilled one to the bone.

The surging radiance blocked the sky-spanning sword phantoms. A violent aftershock rippled through the void, spreading far into the distance.

Having played his trump card, the Heart-Stealing Old Fiend finally bought himself a chance to survive. He couldn't help but sneer, "Kid, you're so focused on killing me that you've forgotten about your own life. Let's see how you get out of this one!"

It was true. Ye Chen had focused all his attacks on the Heart-Stealing Old Fiend. Behind him, the torrent of destruction from the Three-Corpse Reverend was just about to swallow him whole.

For a moment, a series of sharp, collective gasps echoed through the air.

At that moment, both the Lei family and the Liu family were, for once, on the same side.

After all, no one wanted to see demonic cultivators run rampant through the world.

They were utterly cold-blooded beings. Though they retained human form, their hearts had long been corrupted beyond recognition by their vile path. In their eyes, humans and all other living creatures were nothing more than blood-sustenance to advance their cultivation.

The torrent of destruction roared closer, yet Ye Chen seemed oblivious. He continued to pour all his strength into attacking the Heart-Stealing Old Fiend with his sword. At last, the Green Soul Frost-Gold Curse was shattered by his blade's light.

But in that same instant, Ye Chen's body was engulfed by the torrent of destruction.

"How utterly foolish!"

The Heart-Stealing Old Fiend couldn't help but scoff. "So reckless. No matter how heaven-defying your talent is, your combat experience is pathetic! Without an elder to protect them, geniuses like you can't even survive for three days!"

Lei Juexian watched this scene coldly. Seeing Ye Chen disappear into the torrent of destruction, he immediately gave a command in an icy tone, "Rally our forces! Prepare to attack the Liu family!"

"No matter what, we will not leave empty-handed today!"

"First, we take over the Liu family. Then, we claim the Kunlun Key!"

Lei Juexian's eyes glinted, and his voice boomed like thunder.

The expressions of the Liu family members changed drastically.

Liu Kunlun and Liu Yuchan stared intently at the torrent of destruction in the sky, their hearts filled with apprehension and dread.

Master Ye's power was extraordinary; he could even contend with the major powers from beyond their borders.

'He can't have just fallen here... can he?'

Even Song Yubing's elegant brows furrowed slightly. Only the Realm Spirit remained impassive, her stunning face devoid of emotion. Her limpid eyes merely reflected the brutal scene unfolding in the sky.

She truly wasn't worried in the slightest.

'After all, if something had truly happened to Ye Chen, how could she, the Realm Spirit of the Imprisoned Dragon Grotto Heaven, have been completely unaffected?'

Then, under the watchful eyes of all, a brilliant cyan light burst forth. It shot up from within the torrent of destruction, so powerful that it tore through the thick layer of clouds above!

"What?!"

The Three-Corpse Reverend's expression changed. He could clearly feel a shockingly powerful life force still circulating wildly within his Wave of Extinction.

His terrifying attack hadn't been able to weaken that life force in the slightest!

"How is this possible?"

"He's merely a Cultivator at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm. How can he be this powerful?"

The Three-Corpse Reverend was utterly baffled. His three pairs of sinister, ugly eyes widened as he stared intently at the torrent before him.

A moment later, before everyone's eyes, the torrent of destruction suddenly exploded. Connected to it by his spiritual energy, the Three-Corpse Reverend felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He let out a muffled grunt and coughed up a stream of green blood.

BOOM!

From within the spreading dust, a dazzling radiance erupted like a blazing sun, illuminating the gloomy world as if it were broad daylight!

An imposing figure, covered head to toe in cyan dragon scales and radiating an incredibly condensed aura, was revealed before the crowd.

It was important to remember that while Ye Chen possessed unparalleled might and heaven-shaking combat power within the Dragon Prison Cave, he had only ever fought inside it. The vast majority of people outside had never witnessed it.

This was the first time he had unleashed his power before the people of Lei Province. The dazzling cyan light shot into the heavens, so bright that it even alarmed experts in other cities across the province, all of whom turned to look at the brilliant cyan glow in the distance.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"How can an existence like this be in our Lei Province?"

Many experts were alarmed and uncertain, but one figure quickly came to their minds.

"Is it Ye Chen?"

"It must be him! Who else could it be?!"

...

A blazing aura descended upon the battlefield. Ye Chen's gaze was detached, like a god descending to the mortal plane, as he fearlessly threw a punch at the Three-Corpse Reverend.

The punch looked simple and unadorned, with only a faint cyan light swirling around it.

However, the force that suddenly erupted from it was like a cataclysmic tsunami. Before the fist even reached him, the sheer pressure caused the Three-Corpse Reverend's expression to twist in horror as his left and right heads were crushed, exploding on the spot!
