Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

This brutal, bloody scene made Gu Tianyu's eyes burn with a furious, hateful rage!

"No need to rush."

"You'll be next, soon enough!"

Ye Chen shot Gu Tianyu an indifferent glance. With a flick of his finger, the Ancient God Order erupted in light, the bloodstains upon it vanishing in an instant. Then, like a meteorite crashing down from the heavens, it hurtled heavily toward Gu Tianyu once more.

It seemed Gu Tianyu was about to meet his end under this terrifying impact.

However, in the very next instant, a dim golden light suddenly flashed before him, and a towering figure, as imposing as a small hill, appeared in front of him!

The Ancient God Order smashed heavily into the figure, yet the figure merely staggered before quickly regaining its balance.

This scene made Ye Chen's expression tighten, while Song Yubing, at his side, gasped in disbelief.

As the dust settled, the imposing figure finally came into Ye Chen's view.

It was a puppet clad in golden profound armor!

It was tall and massive, its body carved with countless, densely packed arrays. At this moment, however, it looked rather wretched. Many of the arrays were damaged, and the golden light emanating from its body was incredibly dim.

Even its thick limbs seemed somewhat uncoordinated. It was clear that after ages of wear and tear, its internal structure had developed numerous problems.

And yet, this puppet, which looked quite old and dilapidated, had easily blocked the attack Ye Chen had launched with the Ancient God Order.

As if noticing the surprise on Ye Chen's face, Gu Tianyu couldn't help but laugh smugly. "Brat, so what if you're strong? What can you possibly do to me now? With this Profound Armor Combat Puppet protecting me, you can't even dream of touching a single hair on my head!"

"As long as I can stall until Elder Lin gets back, you can just wait for your death!"

A cruel glint flashed in his eyes. The moment he realized he was no match for Ye Chen, he had secretly crushed a talisman in his hand.

Elder Lin, who was deep within the cave, must have received the message immediately and was now rushing over at top speed!

"So, this is your trump card?" Ye Chen said, glancing coolly at the Profound Armor Combat Puppet before him.

Although the puppet was currently severely damaged, Ye Chen could still feel an ancient, boundless, and shockingly powerful aura from it.

In its prime, this combat puppet could probably suppress even an ordinary Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator with ease!

"This type of Profound Armor Combat Puppet must be the handiwork of the ancient Mo family!"

Jie Ling's beautiful eyes sized up the enormous combat puppet before her, and she suddenly spoke in a cool, clear voice.

"The Mo family is an ancient clan. According to legend, they were masters of Mechanical Art. The city they guarded was even known in the Cultivation Realm as the Mechanical City, filled with countless traps and mechanisms, where innumerable Profound Armor Combat Puppets patrolled day and night!"

"These Profound Armor Combat Puppets are also divided into tiers, corresponding to a Practitioner's cultivation realm! Based on the patterns on this one, I'm afraid it's a combat puppet approaching Tier Six! At its peak, it could likely suppress any Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator!"

Hearing Jie Ling calmly explain the combat puppet's origin, everyone's expression changed.

A fiery light immediately ignited in Ye Chen's eyes.

'A combat puppet that nearly surpasses the Divinity Transformation Realm! If I can get my hands on it and repair it, it will undoubtedly become a powerful asset!'

Song Yubing also glanced at Jie Ling, her expression a mix of shock and doubt.

'She never expected this. The woman usually had such a cold and distant demeanor, rarely saying more than a few words and typically only speaking with Ye Chen.'

'Yet, when it came to ancient secrets like these, she seemed to be remarkably knowledgeable.'

"You certainly know your stuff!" Gu Tianyu gave Jie Ling a deep look. Only now did he understand that this impossibly beautiful young woman was more than just a pretty face.

"Since you know this combat puppet's tier is comparable to the Divine Might Realm, which is above Divinity Transformation, then you should also know that you have no chance of winning against me today."

Gu Tianyu said coldly.

"I was talking about its peak," Jie Ling said coolly. "Given the current state of this Profound Armor Combat Puppet, it's a far cry from its prime. It would be a struggle for it to even fight a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator."

"Heh… So what? As long as it's comparable to a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator, that's more than enough, isn't it?" Gu Tianyu sneered. "Surely you don't have a trump card that can threaten a Divinity Transformation Realm Great Power, do you?"

A powerful aura emanated from the Profound Armor Combat Puppet. Even Song Yubing, who was at the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm, felt an immense pressure from the combat puppet.

That oppressive might was not in the least bit inferior to that of the Elders in Cyan Rainbow Hall who had stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm!

This made Song Yubing's expression turn grave. Even if Ye Chen's combat prowess was unmatched, if he were to truly face a Divinity Transformation Level power, the outcome was hard to predict!

"Young Master Ye, are you confident?" she couldn't help but ask.

"…" Ye Chen didn't speak, only furrowing his brow slightly.

'The gap between the Divinity Transformation and Primordial Mansion Realms was enormous, not to mention that I'm only a Cultivator at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.'

'If I really had to face a Divinity Transformation Level power, even someone as self-assured as me couldn't guarantee victory.'

"It's not a problem. As long as you can hold off this combat puppet for a while, I can erase his soul imprint," Jie Ling suddenly said at this moment.

"Erase my soul imprint? What kind of joke is that?" Seeing the calm expression on Jie Ling's face, Gu Tianyu's pupils suddenly shrank.

Although he thought her words were utterly absurd, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

"Your words are all I need," Ye Chen said with a smile.

"How ridiculous! This combat puppet of mine is enough to annihilate all of you!" Gu Tianyu snorted coldly.

Seeing the smile on Ye Chen's face, he felt utterly disdained. Even after revealing a Divinity Transformation Level trump card, he still couldn't intimidate his opponent.

Gu Tianyu's eyes turned ice-cold. He immediately activated the Profound Armor Combat Puppet, sending it charging toward Ye Chen to kill!

This heavily worn but still astonishingly powerful combat puppet surged with a dark golden light. Every ray seemed to fall from a scorching sun, and its searing aura was so intense it felt as if it could melt the very air—it was utterly astounding!

"Bring it on!"

Full of vigor and showing no fear, Ye Chen's body erupted with a cyan light as he charged forward to meet the attack.

'Jie Ling never spoke without reason. If she could truly erase the soul imprint on this combat puppet, I could take it for myself, adding one more trump card to my arsenal!'

"BOOM!"

The dark golden light and the cyan light blossomed in unison. The two dazzling orbs of light, carrying unparalleled power, collided violently in mid-air!
