Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

And yet, Ye Chen had actually blocked an attack from the Netherworld Knight himself!

If word of this got out, it would be enough to cause a massive uproar in the Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute!

"Is it because of that divine cauldron?" Luo Rou's gaze flickered as she sized up the giant cauldron before Ye Chen, which was brimming with Treasure Light.

"Hm?"

"He actually blocked it?"

From within the mass of blood-red light, the Netherworld Emissary's voice carried a hint of surprise. "The Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron truly lives up to its name. If I can bring this back, my Lord will surely bestow upon me a supreme blessing!"

"Is that so? A pity you won't get the chance."

Ye Chen shot a cool glance at the demonic embryo.

After that first clash, he was certain that with the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron, he need not fear any creature from hell!

"Hmph!"

"Ignorant!"

The Netherworld Emissary snorted. "If the void storm hadn't depleted most of the Netherworld Knight's power upon his descent to this realm, then with your meager cultivation, your struggles would be futile, even with the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression tightened.

'It's not hard to see that at his Peak, the Netherworld Knight's power probably far surpassed the Divinity Transformation Realm.'

'Was he at the Divine Might Realm? Or even beyond that?'

'But no matter how strong they were at their Peak, with their current level of power, they're no match for me and my Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron!'

"Get him!"

"Erase this ignorant brat!"

The Netherworld Emissary commanded, his tone cold and impassive.

The three Netherworld Knights strode forward, their massive forms like moving mountains, causing the very world around them to tremble.

The deafening sound of their footfalls reverberated endlessly through the space.

In the blink of an eye, one of the Netherworld Knights appeared before Ye Chen.

It brandished a long spear, the tip of which pulsed with an astonishing black divine radiance, as if it could pierce through anything in existence. It even tore a dark fissure in the void itself.

BOOM!

Wielding the Cangming Sword, Ye Chen met the Netherworld Knight's long spear in a head-on clash.

An overwhelming cyan light erupted from Ye Chen as boundless Sword Qi swirled around him, forming a tempest of blades.

At that moment, his presence was one of awe-inspiring divine might, like a celestial god descended to battle a demon from the depths of hell!

The breathtaking scene left both Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe utterly stupefied.

"So... so strong?!"

Luo Rou was so shaken she was almost in a daze. She closed her eyes, trying to calm herself.

But for some reason, her mind, which was usually as tranquil as a still well, was now stirred by ripples of emotion.

A phantom image of a youth wielding his sword surfaced in her mind. The youth held a longsword, his movements as fluid as a coiling dragon as he vanquished demons on all sides!

Luo Rou's heart skipped a beat. She quickly opened her eyes, only to find that the phantom image of the youth in her mind was slowly superimposing itself upon the figure right before her!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

A series of violent explosions resounded in all directions. The other two Netherworld Knights strode upon a river of blood, like Evil Gods emerging from the depths of hell, bringing with them an unparalleled sense of oppression!

And yet, Ye Chen's slender figure seemed impossibly imposing at this moment. He faced the three mighty foes with a calm, unhurried expression, not retreating a single step.

With a flick of his finger, he summoned the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron, blocking the two Netherworld Knights in mid-air.

Treasure Light bloomed from the Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron. All manner of phantasmal visions manifested as countless ethereal auspicious beasts circled it. Surging with brilliant light, it forced the Netherworld Knights back again and again.

Meanwhile, the remaining Netherworld Knight was locked in a fierce battle with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wielded his Cangming Sword, its Sword Qi soaring to the heavens, threatening to tear the surrounding sea of blood apart.

With every swing, boundless Sword Intent erupted!

It was as if he had mastered Swordsmanship to its absolute limit. No matter where the Netherworld Knight's spear came from, he could perfectly time his blocks with the flat of his blade and seamlessly launch a counterattack.

"Such powerful Swordsmanship!"

"He... he's even comprehended Sword Intent? And from the look of its power, his Sword Intent has probably reached the stage of Great Accomplishment, hasn't it?"

"What kind of monster is this guy?!"

Jiang Yuzhe watched, dumbfounded, muttering in ceaseless amazement.

The cultivation and talent Ye Chen displayed were simply too astonishing.

As a member of the Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute, he had encountered countless factions. What kind of genius hadn't he seen before?

And yet, not a single one of them could compare to the Ye Chen before him.

Earlier, outside the sea of blood, Ye Chen had single-handedly fought the major powers of the Black Triangle Zone. The outcome of that battle had already been shocking enough to hear about.

But only now did he realize that back then, when Ye Chen was fighting outside, he hadn't been using his full strength at all!

'Or rather, those experts from the Black Triangle weren't even worthy of forcing Ye Chen to use his full strength!'

Beside him, Luo Rou remained silent.

Her gaze was fixed on Ye Chen, and as she watched, she found herself lost in a daze.

BOOM!

A monstrous, blood-red wave surged toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's gaze sharpened. With a slash of his Cangming Sword toward the heavens, a vast beam of Sword Qi cut through the air, instantly cleaving the blood wave conjured by the Netherworld Knight in two.

"If this is all you've got, then this is where it ends."

Ye Chen glanced at the demonic embryo in the distance and spoke calmly.

"You!"

The Netherworld Emissary was enraged, but there was nothing he could do.

After watching the battle, he had to admit it. 'My three Netherworld Knights are formidably powerful. Even though they aren't at their Peak, they're still strong enough to take on a Divine Might Realm expert if they work together!'

'But that Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron in Ye Chen's hands is the perfect counter to them.'

'With that peerless divine artifact alone, Ye Chen easily stopped two of the Netherworld Knights.'

'And he can handle the last one all by himself.'

"I must be born from this demonic embryo!"

"And I must bring that Chaos Suppressing Hell Cauldron back!!!"

A ruthless edge entered the Netherworld Emissary's voice. "Brat, you're celebrating far too early!"

"Soon, I will watch you kneel before me, begging for mercy and weeping bitterly!"

A blood-red light suddenly poured out from the demonic embryo.

As the blood-red light washed over each Netherworld Knight, their towering bodies shuddered, and their eyes turned crimson.

A berserk aura surged from their bodies, chilling to the bone!

"After entering a berserk state, the combat strength of each of my Netherworld Knights will increase by thirty percent!"

"You were barely able to hold back the three of them before. That must have taken everything you had, right?"

"Now that their strength has greatly increased, how long do you think you can last?"

The Netherworld Emissary's tone was filled with the certainty of victory.

He laughed coldly. Despite being a malevolent creature yet to be born into the mortal world, he acted as if he already had everything around him completely under his control!
