Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

As Elder Lin's fury erupted, an overwhelming pressure surged forth, spreading like a monstrous flood!

At that moment, the countless living beings on Kunlun Mountain all bowed their heads and fell silent, not daring to utter a word.

In their perception, they were as insignificant as small boats in a raging tempest, teetering on the brink of capsizing at any moment.

This was the might of the Divinity Transformation!

When one at the Divinity Transformation Realm becomes enraged, all of creation trembles!

Ye Chen's expression also grew solemn.

But at the same time, his eyes filled with a boundless will to fight!

This was his first time facing a Divinity Transformation Realm expert head-on!

Those beneath the Divinity Transformation Realm were all too weak—so weak that Ye Chen couldn't muster much interest in them.

Only by fighting a true Divinity Transformation Realm expert could Ye Chen finally experience what it felt like to go all out!

"Die!"

Just then, amidst that tempestuous pressure, Elder Lin made his move!

His eyes were wide with fury, like a wrathful guardian deity. But his anger wasn't directed at demons and evil spirits; it was aimed at the youth before him, whose robes fluttered in the wind.

Elder Lin took a single step forward, his palm carrying the might of Divinity Transformation as it struck heavily toward Ye Chen.

With just a single move, the surrounding space began to ripple violently. A terrifying sonic boom echoed out as a Palm Seal, gleaming with brilliant light, shot through the air!

It was a rage-fueled strike from a Divinity Transformation Realm expert!

To Song Yubing's utter shock, Ye Chen didn't dodge. Instead, he met it head-on!

A cyan light erupted from his body as Sword Intent raged forth. Behind him, the phantom of a golden Spiritual Sea churned with surging waves!

At this moment, even Ye Chen didn't dare hold anything back. He used every trick up his sleeve, preparing for a proper fight against the Divinity Transformation Realm expert before him.

BOOM!

A dazzling rain of light scattered through the air. The powerful aftershock shook the heavens, obliterating a layer of clouds and leaving a massive hole in the sky!

The aftershock of that single blow was just that powerful!

Song Yubing's face was filled with horror. She realized that with her level of cultivation, she couldn't even withstand the aftershock! 'This is just absurd!'

After all, she was considered a top-tier prodigy in the eastern part of the dynasty, yet right now, she didn't even have the qualifications to watch the battle!

Watching the battle meant facing the sweeping aftershocks, and that was something she simply couldn't endure.

As the terrifying aftershock dissipated, Ye Chen's body flickered with cyan light as he retreated more than a dozen steps through the air. Countless cyan dragon scales fell from his body, and a closer look revealed they were stained with blood!

'So this is the strength of a Divinity Transformation Realm expert...'

'Truly extraordinary!'

Ye Chen finally managed to steady himself and calm the roiling qi and blood within his body.

His expression was grave, but the will to fight in his eyes hadn't diminished in the slightest!

Unlike the Profound Armor Combat Puppet, this old man was a true Divinity Transformation Realm master. The methods he employed were far beyond what a rigid puppet like that could ever hope to match.

This was his first life-or-death battle against a Divinity Transformation Realm Great Power—a rare learning experience indeed!

Seeing that Ye Chen had not died from the blow and that his aura showed no signs of weakening...

...even Elder Lin was shocked. 'A mere Spirit Sea Realm brat actually survived one of my attacks?'

"On that point alone, you have enough to be proud of!"

Elder Lin snorted coldly, a terrifying aura erupting from his body once more. He strode toward Ye Chen, bringing an overwhelming force with him.

'As Gu Tianyu's Guardian, I let him die here on Kunlun Mountain. Once I return to the Cyan Ape Tribe, I'm bound to receive an extremely severe punishment!'

'Not even my status as a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator will spare me! After all, there are far, far too many old monsters in the tribe who are stronger than me!'

At this thought, Elder Lin felt a resentful fury that nearly burst from his chest.

His movements weren't fast, but his aura was locked firmly onto Ye Chen. No matter where Ye Chen fled, his attack would follow, never missing its mark!

"Brat, take another one of my palms!"

Elder Lin struck out with his palm. Boundless Divinity Transformation Level Spiritual Power surged out like a ceaseless torrent, forming a flood of Spiritual Power that rushed straight for Ye Chen!

"Just what I wanted!" Ye Chen's eyes gleamed. This time, he held nothing back, directly summoning the Cangming Sword. A deep, dark luster flashed across the blade as an incredibly dense, baleful aura erupted from it.

'What is this demonic sword? How can its baleful aura be so dense?'

Even Elder Lin was startled by the Cangming Sword in Ye Chen's hand, a look of shock and doubt flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, Ye Chen swung the Cangming Sword. A brilliant flash of sword light bloomed in the air like a radiant lotus, and a sky full of Sword Qi rained down, bombarding the torrent of Spiritual Power before him!

BOOM!

The two attacks collided violently. The Sword Qi scattered, and the power of the Spiritual Power torrent was significantly weakened.

Ye Chen swung his sword again, finally cleaving the Spiritual Power torrent apart completely.

"What?"

Seeing Ye Chen shatter his attack with two sword strikes, Elder Lin couldn't hide his astonishment.

'As a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator facing such a fragile Spirit Sea Realm junior, I should be crushing him with unstoppable force!'

'But looking at it now, the gap between us doesn't seem that big?!'

'I might have the upper hand, but that's it. Gaining an overwhelming advantage seems to be quite difficult.'

"I don't believe it! How can a Spirit Sea Realm junior like you be so bizarre!"

Elder Lin roared in anger as surging Spiritual Power rushed forth. He appeared directly in front of Ye Chen, unleashing countless Palm Seals upon him. The sheer ferocity of the assault made Song Yubing, watching from a distance, tremble with fear.

'If it were me,' she thought, 'I'm afraid a single casual palm strike from him would have obliterated me, body and soul!'

But Ye Chen remained completely calm and unfazed!

He summoned the Ancient God Order, which emitted a majestic pressure that bore down on Elder Lin!

Immediately after, he gripped the Cangming Sword, his body shimmering with interlocking cyan and golden light. With all his might, he unleashed a powerful Sword Skill, slashing at Elder Lin!

"Brat, do you think you can overturn the heavens?!"

Seeing Ye Chen's composed expression, as if he truly deluded himself into thinking he could win, Elder Lin was so furious he began to laugh.

A Spirit Sea Realm junior, dreaming of defying and defeating a Divinity Transformation Realm expert? It was an absurd fantasy!

BOOM!

Elder Lin shattered Ye Chen's sword light with one palm while his other struck directly at Ye Chen's head.

But just then, Ye Chen's aura changed once more. A phantom of an ancient god appeared behind him, treading upon the churning golden Spiritual Sea. An indescribably terrifying aura spread out from it!

"Cangming Nether Emperor Hand!"

Ye Chen waved a hand, and an invisible, colorless destructive power spread toward Elder Lin!
