Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"That young man from before?"

Qingli paused, then said, "He is just a new guest on the ship. This servant doesn't know much about him."

"You don't know much?"

"Then can you help me find some information on him?"

Although the voice from the room was phrased as a question, it carried the unyielding tone of a command.

"Sir, we are not allowed to casually disclose guest information."

Qingli bit her lip and slowly spoke.

But the moment she finished speaking, an oppressive aura seeped out from the room, draining all the color from her pretty face.

"You'd best be clear about who you're talking to."

"If you dare refuse me again, you should know that you can't afford the consequences!"

The voice, filled with domineering intent, echoed in Qingli's ears like a deafening clap of thunder.

Qingli's delicate body swayed slightly, and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I... I understand."

She steadied herself against the wall, lowered her head, and managed to force out the words.

"Hmph!"

"It's best that you do."

Soon, the room fell silent once more.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Qingli cast a deep, fearful glance at the room behind her before hurriedly leaving.

...

「A day passed quickly.」

During this time, Mo Tianyun and the others had tried to visit Ye Chen.

However, the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving politely refused them all, stating that its master was in secluded cultivation.

As a Peak Divinity Transformation expert, Mo Tianyun's senses were incredibly sharp.

Even with the Array isolating the room, he could still sense the terrifying aura churning inside like a tidal wave, so he didn't bother them again.

And just as the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving had said, after refining the Fourth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill, Ye Chen immediately consumed and began to absorb it.

This was a Pseudo-Immortal Grade, Fourth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill—how terrifying must its effects be?

The moment it entered his stomach, an unimaginably vast power began to spread throughout Ye Chen's body.

His entire body glowed with Treasure Light, wreathed in the radiant glow of Spiritual Qi. Throughout his limbs and bones, Spiritual Power surged like a tide, battering open one acupoint after another.

The Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving, watching from the side, was completely stunned.

'Is this really just a Fourth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill?'

'It feels like it could even help a Peak Divinity Transformation expert like me break through.'

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen finally finished absorbing the majority of the power within him.

All the various phenomena vanished, and Ye Chen's body returned to a state of tranquility.

But when the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving looked at Ye Chen, a chill inexplicably ran down its spine.

'Just how powerful is Master now?'

*WHOOSH...*

Finally, Ye Chen completely internalized his aura. He opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and a satisfied expression passed over his face.

"Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm..."

"If I hadn't forcefully suppressed this power, I might have continued to break through."

Ye Chen muttered to himself with some emotion.

'Only the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm?'

The Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving found this unbelievable when it heard him.

After all, from its perspective, the power of this Realm-Breaking Pill was absolutely terrifying.

'If I could have taken a Pseudo-Immortal Pill like this back when I was at the Fourth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm, I probably could have shot straight to the Ninth Layer Peak, or even broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!'

But how could the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving have known that Ye Chen's foundation was far beyond that of an ordinary Cultivator?

Generally speaking, an ordinary Cultivator only needed to consume a low-grade Realm-Breaking Pill to successfully break through one level.

If it were a high-grade or even a Top Grade pill, it was even possible to break through two or three levels in a row.

It could be said that this depended entirely on the Cultivator's foundation.

But for someone like Ye Chen, even consuming a Top Grade, Fourth Grade Realm-Breaking Pill wasn't a guaranteed breakthrough.

His foundation was simply too solid, too profound, like a boundless ocean that was impossible to fathom.

After all, he was likely the only person in the entire Great Thousand World who could effortlessly sweep aside Divinity Transformation experts while still in the Primordial Mansion Realm.

The fact that this Pseudo-Immortal Pill had allowed him to break through all the way from the Fourth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm to the Peak of the Seventh Layer was already a pleasant surprise for Ye Chen.

Moreover, this was with him actively suppressing his power to avoid breaking through too quickly and causing his foundation to become unstable.

Relying on the medicinal power not yet fully absorbed in his body, plus the Five Elements Pills he hadn't used, he could easily step into the Eighth Layer, and even the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm within the next month!

"Master, just how powerful are you now?"

Seeing that Ye Chen had finished cultivating, the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask.

Even though Ye Chen had completely retracted his aura and looked like an ordinary person with no cultivation, the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving could still feel an indescribably terrifying pressure!

"Right now..."

"It's hard to say, really. But I think I could probably hold my own in a fight, even against a Divine Might Realm expert."

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said casually.

When he had just broken into the Primordial Mansion Realm, he could already defeat Peak Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

Now, having broken through from the First Layer to the Seventh Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm, a continuous breakthrough of six levels, his cultivation had once again undergone an ultimate sublimation and tempering.

Even Ye Chen himself couldn't say for sure just how strong he would be if he unleashed his full combat power now.

'If I really ran into a Divine Might Realm enemy, even if I couldn't win, I should at least be able to escape, right?'

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving at his side was instantly struck dumb with astonishment.

'He dares to speak of fighting a Divine Might Realm Great Power while only in the Primordial Mansion Realm?'

'If word of this got out, people would probably dismiss it as a fantastical tale, wouldn't they?'

And yet, the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving felt that he wasn't lying.

With its own strength at the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm, it could indeed feel a terrifying pressure from Ye Chen, like that of a towering mountain.

This shocked it to its core!

Who in this vast, chaotic world could possibly have honed power comparable to the Divine Might Realm while still in the Primordial Mansion Realm?

In all of heaven and earth, he was the only one!

And this person before it was its master!

The Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving's dazzling, ruby-like eyes flickered with excitement.

It began to feel fortunate that it was able to follow by Ye Chen's side.

'No wonder even a divine fire of heaven and earth like the Red Lotus Karma Fire would submit to Master.'

'A peerless prodigy like him will surely stand alone atop the Great Dao in the future, looking down upon the entire world of cultivation, right?'

The Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving was now completely subservient to Ye Chen.

It submitted not only to his strength, but also to his terrifying talent, which was nearly unrivaled in this world and unseen throughout the ages!
