Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Kong Rushan struck out, and a Palm Seal as massive as a mountain materialized from his palm.

Wreathed in purple light and interwoven with runes, the Palm Seal shot forward like a falling meteor the moment it appeared, carrying astonishing power as it bore down on Ye Chen!

"This is a little more interesting, but it's still far from enough."

Ye Chen casually glanced at the three Fifth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm experts before him.

A lineup like this could dominate any region in the Great Hong Dynasty, with the sole exception of the capital, a place teeming with hidden masters.

'Before I broke through to the Primordial Mansion Realm, I could already fight someone at the Divinity Transformation First Layer.'

'Now, I've forged an even stronger foundation, condensed the Twelve-Star Divine Tower, absorbed the Qi of Chaos, and fully unleashed the potential of my Chaos Five Elements Body.'

'Combined with an Unparalleled Skill like the Astonishing Record of the Demon God... relying on my Spiritual Cultivation alone, I'm strong enough to fight any expert below the Divine Might Realm!'

Ye Chen's eyes glinted. These major powers were constantly trying to probe his limits and trump cards. 'But am I not doing the exact same thing?'

Although he believed himself to be invincible below the Divine Might Realm, that judgment could be inaccurate without a true battle to test it.

This great battle was the perfect opportunity for him to test his true combat strength!

As the three experts' attacks converged on him, Ye Chen lifted his gaze slightly and pointed a single finger.

An immense force materialized from thin air. The incoming ice-blue beam instantly disintegrated in mid-air, scattering into countless motes of light.

Not far away, Yu Bing seemed to be caught in the backlash. She let out a muffled grunt and stumbled backward, her expression filled with astonishment.

'Even if that wasn't my full-power strike, I still used the true strength of the Divinity Transformation Realm.'

'And yet, he neutralized it so easily with just a casual point of his finger!'

'Is he really just a boy at the First Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm?!'

At that moment, the Sword-Eyed Elder's sword light struck.

Ye Chen smiled serenely. "When it comes to mastery of the Sword Dao, you are still far too lacking!"

Sword Intent could be divided into five major levels: Rudimentary, Lesser Mastery, Greater Mastery, Perfection, and Peak!

His own Sword Intent had already reached the level of Greater Mastery.

The Sword-Eyed Elder's Sword Intent, however, was clearly still lingering at the Rudimentary stage!

The gap between them was simply staggering!

"WHOOSH!"

Formless Sword Intent radiated outward. In an instant, a tempest of Sword Qi erupted around Ye Chen, shredding everything in the vicinity.

Even the Sword-Eyed Elder's incredible sword light was instantly dissipated into nothing!

"BOOM!"

But just then, after casually neutralizing the Sword-Eyed Elder's attack, it seemed as if Ye Chen failed to react. Kong Rushan's Palm Seal slammed directly into his body with a deafening crash!

A terrifying shockwave swept outward, forcing many of the spectating Cultivators to retreat in terror.

"What?!"

The members of the Huo family all turned pale.

"How could this happen?" Huo Susu's face turned white.

'Ye Chen had been so dominant before, looking down on all the Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators.'

'How could he have failed to react in time?'

"Did it work?"

Seeing this, Xin Yuekong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sneer, "And here I thought this kid was supposed to be tough. He's already flustered and can't handle it? Didn't he just ask all of us to attack him together?"

"Heh... I guess he was just putting on an act before!"

Kong Rushan shook his head and laughed heartily. "Since he's already injured, let's press our advantage and capture him once and for all!"

Yu Bing frowned, feeling that something was strange.

'Considering the combat power Ye Chen has shown so far, there's no way he should have been injured that easily, right?'

Amidst the swirling dust, Kong Rushan took a step forward. His body seemed to swell, his height now approaching three meters. He reached out with a massive hand, about to snatch Ye Chen away.

"BOOM!"

Just then, a brilliant cyan light erupted like a volcano, and a hazy radiance poured down, enveloping the entire area!

"What?"

Kong Rushan was stunned by the sight. He hastily tried to stop, but he couldn't halt his forward momentum in time and slammed right into the cyan light.

"BANG!"

With a tremendous bang, Kong Rushan's massive body was sent flying backward by the cyan light. He crashed heavily to the ground, smashing a deep crater into it!

In the Black Triangle Zone, he was a renowned Body Cultivator! His physical body was incomparably tough; even a spatio-temporal vortex might not have been able to harm him!

And yet now, Kong Rushan was actually injured!

His face was pale as he spat out a mouthful of hot blood, his eyes filled with absolute horror.

"Your attack did have some power behind it."

The dust settled, revealing the young man standing with his hands clasped behind his back. He was shrouded in a faint cyan light, his expression perfectly calm.

His body appeared to be covered by a layer of cyan scales. Anyone could sense the terrifying power surging just beneath them!

Ye Chen had deliberately chosen not to defend.

He wanted to see if his superior-grade dragon scales were strong enough to withstand an attack from a Fifth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm expert.

It was also a perfect test, since his opponent was a Body Cultivator.

As it turned out, he had.

Not only had he withstood the blow, but the immense recoil had actually injured his opponent.

Ye Chen had already cultivated his cyan dragon scales to the superior grade.

He deduced that if he could cultivate his scales to the next stage, transforming the cyan scales into purple ones, his physical strength might even be enough to rival a Divine Might Realm expert!

"This kid… he's a Body Cultivator, too?"

Xin Yuekong's brows knitted together.

"Damn it!" Kong Rushan scrambled to his feet, his face burning with shame. To be injured to the point of vomiting blood by the recoil from a mere Primordial Mansion Realm boy—the humiliation was unbearable!

"We were careless this time!"

"I'd like to see how long you can last under our combined assault!"

The Sword-Eyed Elder spoke slowly, his expression growing solemn. The Sword Qi surrounding him grew increasingly sharp as it pressed down on Ye Chen.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

"If I hadn't deliberately held back earlier, you wouldn't have even had a chance to strike!"

Before, Ye Chen had merely wanted to test the strength of his own body.

Now that he had a clear idea of his limits, he held nothing back and unleashed a palm strike at the Sword-Eyed Elder.

In that instant, the Sword-Eyed Elder felt an indescribable pressure. The color drained from his aged face as he threw out dozens of palm strikes in rapid succession, trying to block Ye Chen's attack.

However, all of his defenses were useless. Ye Chen's palm strike looked simple and unadorned, but the power it contained was absolutely earth-shattering!

"BOOM!"

The Sword-Eyed Elder's body exploded on the spot, bursting into countless fragments.
