Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The sword-eyed elder was the first Fifth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator to fall.

His death was nothing short of gruesome.

What was most shocking was that he hadn't died at the hands of another Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, but at the hands of a mere youth from the Primordial Mansion Realm!

An existence of this level could have established their own sect in any major city near the borders of the Great Hong Dynasty, ruling a region as an unrivaled hegemon!

Yet in the hands of this young man, the powerful expert of the Fifth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm seemed utterly powerless, swatted to death on the spot.

"This…"

Standing nearby, Yu Bing and Kong Rushan's faces drained of color.

The sword-eyed elder's strength was in no way inferior to theirs. If even he couldn't withstand a full-power strike from Ye Chen, they would be no exception!

WHOOSH!

Just then, Ye Chen's expression flickered. As if sensing something, he immediately took out the Soul-Catching Lamp.

It was a large, crimson lantern emitting a ghostly red glow.

At that moment, the Soul-Catching Lamp suddenly grew scorching hot, as if it had encountered some delectable prey.

The moment Ye Chen took it out, the Soul-Catching Lamp unleashed a terrifying suction force. From the nearby rubble, a tiny figure shimmering with golden light was abruptly sucked out!

"No, no, no!!!"

The tiny figure struggled for its life, and only then did the crowd see it clearly. It was the Divine Soul of the sword-eyed elder!

Once they break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, a cultivator's Divine Soul can leave their body. They can even use the power of their Divine Soul to engage enemies!

This time, although Ye Chen had shattered the sword-eyed elder's physical body, his Divine Soul had managed to escape destruction.

If the sword-eyed elder's Divine Soul were allowed to escape, he could one day find a new body, be reborn, and walk the path of cultivation once more!

To put it bluntly, unless you destroy the Divine Soul of a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, you can't be said to have truly killed them.

In his previous fights with lower-level Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators, Ye Chen had obliterated their Divine Souls on the spot.

Only this sword-eyed elder, with his superior strength and more profound techniques, had actually managed to escape destruction at Ye Chen's hands!

Unfortunately for him, while he may have escaped Ye Chen's attack, he could not evade the senses of the Soul-Catching Lamp!

The sword-eyed elder's Divine Soul was utterly unable to resist as it was sucked into the Soul-Catching Lamp, letting out a series of bloodcurdling screams.

No one knew what he was experiencing inside the Soul-Catching Lamp, but just hearing those screams was enough to make one's blood run cold and send shivers down their spine.

"Damn it! How does that kid have such a bizarre treasure?"

The white-robed priest stared at the Soul-Catching Lamp in Ye Chen's hand, his expression grim.

But Ye Chen simply put the Soul-Catching Lamp away.

"Next, it's your turn."

Ye Chen's indifferent gaze fell upon Yu Bing and Kong Rushan.

The two of them tensed up, feeling as though they were being stared down by a fierce beast from the Primordial Chaos. An immense fear washed over them, so potent that their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

Having just witnessed the sword-eyed elder's gruesome fate, they couldn't muster even the slightest thought of fighting back against Ye Chen.

Wasting no more words, Ye Chen's figure flickered as he lunged toward Kong Rushan.

"No!" Kong Rushan cried out, scrambling to turn and flee. His heavy body made the ground tremble with every step.

"Save me!" he screamed to Xin Yuekong, his face a mask of terror.

However, before Xin Yuekong could react, Ye Chen had already appeared behind Kong Rushan, striking down with his palm.

Azure light coiled around Ye Chen's arm. Each azure dragon scale seemed to ripple, unleashing an unimaginable, crushing force!

"GET UP!"

Kong Rushan bellowed. Facing certain death, he unleashed his full potential, thrusting his arms upward to block Ye Chen's assault.

His resistance, however, was as futile as a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot.

As Ye Chen's attack descended, the purple light protecting Kong Rushan shattered, and his body was instantly smashed into a bloody pulp.

"Stop!"

Kong Rushan's death sent Xin Yuekong into a towering rage.

Seeing Ye Chen about to absorb Kong Rushan's Divine Soul, he could no longer stand by and immediately intervened.

A Palm Seal imbued with astonishing power smashed down toward Ye Chen.

Xin Yuekong's cultivation had reached the Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Such a level was enough to be considered a top-tier expert, even within the Black Triangle Region!

Yet Ye Chen didn't even spare him a glance, simply swatting the Palm Seal out of the air.

Then, the Soul-Catching Lamp in his hand erupted with its astonishing suction force, drawing Kong Rushan's Divine Soul into it.

At once, a continuous stream of terrifying screams emanated from within the Soul-Catching Lamp.

No one knew what Kong Rushan was experiencing within the Soul-Catching Lamp, but it was clear from his agonized screams that he was suffering a torment beyond human imagination.

"BASTARD!!!"

Xin Yuekong trembled with rage. At the same time, a profound shock surfaced in the depths of his eyes.

'He had just personally made a move.'

'Yet this boy before him had still casually dismantled his attack!'

'Just how powerful is this boy's combat strength?'

Xin Yuekong's pupils contracted as a deep, lingering fear crept into his heart.

'Could it be that even with his strength as a Sixth Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator, he was no match for this boy?'

But before Xin Yuekong could process it all, Ye Chen had already made his move on the last Fifth Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator on the battlefield.

Yu Bing's pretty face was ashen. She watched, frozen in place, as Ye Chen flew toward her, seemingly having forgotten how to even dodge.

"Kid, if you dare to kill a Protector of the Yu family, believe me, we will hunt you to the ends of the earth! The Yu family will absolutely not let you go!"

Yu Qinghai roared in anger upon seeing this.

However, Ye Chen acted as if he hadn't heard a word. Ignoring him completely, he swatted Yu Bing to death and used the Soul-Catching Lamp to absorb her Divine Soul.

Just like the two before her, Yu Bing's Divine Soul suffered inhuman torment within the Soul-Catching Lamp, her agonized screams thick with absolute terror.

And with that, all three Fifth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators had fallen.

From start to finish, Ye Chen had acted with nothing more than a simple, casual swat of his hand.

Yet no matter who he faced, they were swatted to death on the spot, unable to offer the slightest hint of resistance.

In the common Cultivation Realm, Divinity Transformation cultivators were supreme, exalted beings.

To ordinary cultivators, such figures were beings they could only gaze upon with awe.

But in the hands of this young man...

...slaughtering Divinity Transformation experts was as easy and casual as butchering dogs!
