Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Ye Chen casually gave an order.

Despite its immense impatience, the Snow Jade White Fox was currently under Ye Chen's intimidating presence and could only obey.

Seeing the white fox's rather aggrieved look, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. "If you're obedient, I might even grant you a transformation technique."

'A transformation technique?'

Upon hearing this, the Snow Jade White Fox's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

After growing to a certain point, demonic beasts often walk the path of transformation.

The Human Race is the spirit of all creation. Although at the same realm, aside from a few exceptionally brilliant prodigies, the combat power of the Human Race is often no match for demonic beasts.

However, this didn't stop demonic beasts from transforming into human form in order to better comprehend the Great Dao.

But for a demonic beast, transforming into a human was no easy task.

This was especially true for particularly powerful demonic beasts, for whom transformation was even more difficult.

Take the Snow Jade White Fox clan, for example. They ranked among the top tier of demonic beasts. Therefore, for a Divinity Transformation Realm Snow Jade White Fox to take human form, it often required far more effort than an ordinary demonic beast.

Sure enough, after hearing Ye Chen's words, the Snow Jade White Fox became much more docile.

With a submissive expression, it carried Ye Chen and headed out of the Dark River's cavern.

However, it didn't take the path Ye Chen had used to enter, instead choosing a much wider passage.

This passage led directly out of Kunlun Mountain and wasn't nearly as winding and convoluted. It was a much easier path than the tunnel Ye Chen had taken on his way in.

The babbling sound of the Dark River gradually faded into the distance. Ye Chen knew he wasn't far from the surface.

But just then, the ground suddenly collapsed. A black light, shimmering with a destructive aura, shot up from below, aimed straight for Ye Chen's neck!

Ye Chen's expression tightened. This was unexpected, but his reaction was lightning-fast. A clear azure light enveloped his fist as he brazenly threw a punch.

BOOM!

A violent tremor spread through almost the entire underground space. Amidst the swirling dust and smoke, the ambusher hiding in the shadows was finally revealed.

A scorpion, nearly two meters long, was coiled before Ye Chen. Its small eyes glinted with a vicious light as it stared fixedly at him.

The black light from the sneak attack was none other than the scorpion's tail!

The tail was astonishingly long, around five or six meters, and was covered in strange and peculiar patterns. It radiated a dense, destructive aura, as if a single strike could pierce the void!

Seeing the scorpion before them, the Snow Jade White Fox was clearly startled, a panicked light filling its beautiful eyes.

"White Fox, you dare defy the Master's command?"

A brilliant light erupted around the scorpion. Its body slowly writhed, transforming into a young human male with long, flowing hair.

Its scorpion tail became a long spear in the youth's hand, and its hard exoskeleton turned into a suit of armor, leaving the youth fully equipped for battle!

'This Great Demon has actually transformed?'

Ye Chen was taken aback.

At that moment, a shocking lion's roar suddenly echoed from above ground. The terrifying sound wave seemed powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers in all directions, causing the very heavens and earth to change color!

The next moment, the stone wall in front of them collapsed, revealing a sliver of daylight. A burly figure swooped down from that sliver of light, landing before Ye Chen and making the ground tremble.

It was a male lion that seemed to be bathed in Flame!

Its entire body was covered in a red mane, and scorching Flame wreathed around it. A searing heat washed over them as a terrifyingly high temperature instantly swept through the area.

The Snow Jade White Fox naturally preferred the shade. Faced with such a surging heatwave, it immediately felt unwell, and its face turned pale.

Just like the scorpion, the lion's body suddenly erupted in fiery light. It too transformed, its muscular body shrinking until it became a red-haired boy with an aggressive demeanor!

"White Fox, what is the meaning of this?"

"How dare you bring an outsider to meddle with the Master's property?"

The boy's voice was clear and bright, yet it boomed like thunder, echoing in all directions!

Deep within his pupils, two brilliant clusters of firelight surged. From a distance, it looked as if an entire world was burning within them!

The terrifying pressure made the Snow Jade White Fox tremble all over; it could barely support Ye Chen any longer.

'Master?'

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. Faced with this sudden turn of events, his expression remained calm, but his mind began to race.

'According to these two demonic beasts, the Yin Sha Cold Marrow actually had an owner? Just who is this master they speak of? And where is he now?'

"I..." Although the Snow Jade White Fox couldn't take human form, it could already speak human words.

Hearing the two Great Demons' interrogation, it felt deeply wronged, but with Ye Chen right beside it, it didn't dare speak carelessly.

"Human, leave the Yin Sha Cold Marrow behind, and I'll spare your life!"

The youth looked at Ye Chen, his spear quivering in his hand as he spoke with chilling killing intent.

A vast aura swirled around him, seeming to possess the power to collapse the void and crack open the earth!

"If you think you have what it takes to take the Yin Sha Cold Marrow from my hands, then by all means, come and try!"

Ye Chen smiled, clearly not intimidated by the youth's aura.

"You're courting death!"

A glint flashed in the youth's eyes. The black light of his spear flickered, and his killing intent intensified to its absolute peak!

"White Fox, once I've eliminated this human, I'll come settle the score with you!"

The youth glanced at the Snow Jade White Fox's pale face, then turned back to Ye Chen. Gripping the spear formed from his scorpion tail, he charged.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

...

The spear, flashing with black light, seemed to conjure a sky full of afterimages. With every thrust, the air boomed as it was torn apart.

A terrifying, destructive aura surged toward Ye Chen like a tidal wave, threatening to submerge him completely!

This was a Great Demon at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Meanwhile, the red-haired boy didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately joined the battle.

His red hair whipped about as a sky full of raging Flame erupted like a tidal wave, transforming into a monstrous sea of fire that threatened to engulf everything in the world!

The intense heat was so great that the surrounding rock walls began to melt. The nearby streams of the Dark River burst into clouds of mist as the water was continuously vaporized!

Without a doubt, this was another Great Demon at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

This terrifying, apocalyptic scene frightened the Snow Jade White Fox to its core!

Forget the fox—even an ordinary Ninth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator, when faced with a pincer attack from these two tyrannical Great Demons, would likely have to retreat and avoid a direct confrontation!

But Ye Chen's expression remained as tranquil as an ancient well, completely undisturbed.

As if on a suicide mission, he suddenly leaped off the Snow Jade White Fox's back and walked forward alone.
