Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

In the oppressive silence, the experts from the major factions all watched the young man on the field with wary expressions.

Only Ye Chen remained as relaxed and casual as ever, standing with his hands behind his back, his bearing transcendent and detached.

Before, others might have thought this young man was boundlessly arrogant for daring to disregard the major factions, that he was merely putting on an act and pretending to be profound.

But now, everyone had been completely subdued by the power Ye Chen displayed.

Only then did they understand that the reason the young man could be so calm was that he truly had the foundation to back up his actions.

"I never expected we would all be so mistaken."

"This guy is far more formidable than we imagined!"

The Daoist-robed old man's face was filled with amazement as he sighed with emotion.

"You were all itching for a fight earlier. Could you replicate his performance?"

"Now, do you still think you're his match?"

The scholarly middle-aged man said coolly.

Hearing this, the young man and the rainbow-skirted girl beside him lowered their heads in chagrin, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"To be able to do something like this with only a Primordial Mansion Realm cultivation..."

"I wouldn't even be surprised if you told me he was a reincarnated Immortal!"

Hearing the scholarly man's words, which were filled with admiration, the others all shuddered in shock, their faces etched with astonishment.

This was the first time they had ever seen the scholarly middle-aged man hold someone in such high regard!

And that person was just a young man in the Primordial Mansion Realm!

...

In the Huo family's camp, their experts were stunned into silence.

They looked at each other, and each could see the deep, surging shock in the other's eyes.

"Alright, I admit it. I was wrong this time!"

"I never should have doubted that kid!"

Huo Wuji gave a bitter laugh, feeling like he had completely lost face.

'It can't be helped. That backfired so quickly, it caught me completely off guard!'

"Is this really power that someone in the Primordial Mansion Realm can wield?"

"This boy's talent is simply unparalleled in our Black Triangle Region!"

Huo Qiguang took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

At this point, he completely believed what Huo Susu had said before.

"Patriarch, with Susu's connection, we might be able to pull this boy into our Huo family's camp!"

Huo Wuji seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up.

"Is that so? I think it would be best not to entertain such unrealistic fantasies."

However, Huo Susu immediately poured cold water on Huo Wuji's idea.

"Susu, what do you mean by that?" Huo Wuji asked, stunned for a moment.

"He already has a faction behind him," Huo Susu said.

"So what if he has a faction? Anyone can poach talent," Huo Wuji clearly didn't see this as a problem. "Tell me, what sect is behind him?"

"It's not his sect. It's a faction he founded himself."

"If I remember correctly, I think it's called the Demon Gate!"

Huo Susu said thoughtfully.

"The Demon Gate?"

"A faction he founded himself?" Huo Wuji's eyebrow twitched.

'He's so young, yet he can already found his own faction?'

'However, given the strength Ye Chen has shown, it doesn't seem impossible!'

...

In the Fire Phoenix Tribe, the beautiful woman in the palace gown studied Ye Chen, a thoughtful glimmer appearing in her limpid eyes.

"Elder, are we still going to make a move?"

"The Black Tiger Tribe and those other factions probably won't be able to contain this boy!"

Many of the Fire Phoenix Tribe's experts spoke up, their expressions becoming hesitant.

Once they realized Ye Chen wasn't some kid they could push around at will, but a powerhouse whose strength was no less than their Elder's, their will to fight immediately faded.

Making an enemy of such an existence was undoubtedly courting death!

Even if there really was some great opportunity within the Kunlun Mountain secret realm, they had to be alive to enjoy it!

However, the beautiful woman in the palace gown's eyes glinted, as if she were unwilling to give up just yet.

Her red lips curled slightly as she said, "Don't you all think that the stronger this boy proves to be, the more we should move against him?"

"This... Elder Hong, what do you mean by that?" the experts asked, their faces full of suspicion and surprise.

"This boy is so young, and his cultivation is only at the Primordial Mansion Realm, yet his combat power is unbelievably immense..."

"Doesn't that just go to show how astonishing the opportunities within the Kunlun Mountain secret realm must be?"

Hearing the beautiful woman's words, the crowd had a sudden realization. "Elder Hong, are you saying this young man has his current combat power because he obtained a heaven-defying opportunity in the secret realm?"

"Exactly!"

"The stronger this boy is, the more interested I become!"

"I imagine the others are thinking the same thing!"

The beautiful woman in the palace gown smiled playfully.

She glanced at the experts from the other factions.

Sure enough, their eyes were also filled with a blazing fervor as they looked at Ye Chen, as if they couldn't wait to capture him on the spot and plunder every opportunity he possessed!

"This..." The experts exchanged glances and said, "If we're really going to move against this boy, then our major factions will probably have to join forces."

"Naturally," the beautiful woman nodded. "But it's not our turn to act just yet. We can just sit back and profit from their conflict."

"The Black Tiger Tribe and those other factions have suffered such a huge blow. They'll never let this go!"

"Let's wait for them to test him a bit more and see just where this boy's limits lie!"

...

Just as the beautiful woman in the palace gown had said, following the successive deaths of the sword-eyed old man, Kong Rushan, and Yu Bing.

The three major factions—the Black Tiger Tribe, the Cyan Ape Tribe, and the Yu family—finally began to take this opponent seriously, despite their fear.

The white-robed priest's face was grim as he said in a deep voice, "To be able to do this with only a Primordial Mansion Realm cultivation... kid, you truly are extraordinary!"

"However, it all ends here."

"We cannot allow you to continue wreaking havoc!"

"Listen to you," Ye Chen laughed. "You're clearly the ones wreaking havoc. How did you pin that crime on me?"

He remained as calm and unhurried as ever, even though he was facing a high-ranking member of the Cyan Ape Tribe, a Sixth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm expert!

"Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since we've joined forces against a common enemy."

"I never thought we'd be forced into this corner just to deal with a wet-behind-the-ears brat from the Primordial Mansion Realm!"

Yu Qinghai sighed with emotion. "What a shame. It's a real pity to have to kill someone with such talent!"

"A pity it may be, but this boy must die!" Xin Yuekong said viciously, his face grim.

The Black Tiger Tribe had already lost several Divinity Transformation experts at Ye Chen's hands!

This grudge, this hatred, must be avenged!
