Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

"I hope you won't become an obstacle when the time comes."

"Otherwise, no matter what your background is, not even the Hongyu Pill Venerable will be able to save you!"

The man licked his lips, and the smile on his face grew increasingly sinister.

Just then, the door to Ye Chen's room suddenly opened.

Chi Ming stepped out from within, his brilliant, ruby-like eyes flashing with a menacing fiery light!

The man was startled to see Chi Ming's fierce gaze sweep over him, the spear in his hand radiating a scorching aura as it pointed at him from a distance!

"You're the one who offended my master last time, aren't you?"

"And what are you planning now, skulking around and spying?"

Chi Ming spoke in a low voice, his tone brimming with killing intent. "I suggest you don't get any funny ideas."

"This is just a warning. If there's a next time, I'll cut you down without mercy!"

Hearing this, the man's expression gradually darkened.

He never imagined that he would be discovered, despite how well-hidden he was!

And this person even dared to threaten him!

This caused a surge of anger to well up inside him.

"Why don't you try me?" he snorted.

But the moment the words left the man's mouth, Chi Ming attacked!

Without a second thought, he swept his spear toward the man, and a sea of scorching fire billowed out, threatening to engulf him completely.

"You actually dare to attack me... You've got some nerve!"

The man's eyes glinted, and a sinister dark light emerged from his pupils, which were like two deep abysses.

He waved his hand, and a torrential flood of power gushed out, shattering the sea of fire and reducing it to countless motes of light.

Seeing this, Chi Ming prepared to attack again.

But the commotion from a battle between Divine Might Realm experts was immense. It had already alerted the entire Cloud Mist Tower Ship, and the various Forbidden Arrays in the corridor groaned and cracked under the strain.

"Stop!"

"Who dares to fight on this ship? If anything is damaged, you'll pay for it a hundred times over!"

The experts of the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce had been alerted, and a great shout echoed from afar.

"Tsk!"

The man's brow twitched, and a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes.

"Now is not the time to reveal myself. But I'll remember you."

The man glanced at Chi Ming, and a horrifying killing intent surfaced in his abyss-black eyes.

"You're the first one who has dared to offend me!"

"The next time we meet, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The man's icy words were still echoing in the corridor as his figure melted into the surrounding darkness.

"Stop right there!"

Chi Ming shouted and was about to give chase, but Ye Chen called him back.

"That's enough. Come back."

"You can't stop him."

Ye Chen said calmly.

It was only because his Divine Soul power had become so immense after breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm that he had been able to sense the mysterious man's presence. That was why Ye Chen had told Chi Ming to go outside and take a look.

Ye Chen had witnessed the entire brief exchange between Chi Ming and the mysterious man.

Ye Chen quickly determined that if Chi Ming, who had just broken through to the Divine Might Realm, were to fight that man to the death, he would ultimately suffer a crushing defeat!

This made Ye Chen realize that this mysterious man's identity was likely far from simple.

'This Heaven-rank section is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.'

'I wonder what this mysterious man is planning, lying in wait here?'

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

This was a dangerous individual.

But if the man dared to provoke him, he wouldn't mind eliminating this hidden danger for the sake of the Cloud Mist Tower Ship!

"Master, I have disappointed you."

Chi Ming returned to the room, his expression crestfallen.

He had successfully taken human form and entered the Divine Might Realm. He had been full of confidence, believing himself capable of looking down on most of the cultivators on the ship, but he hadn't expected to be unable to take down that mysterious man.

"He's no simple character. There's no need to blame yourself."

Ye Chen shook his head. "I plan on refining a batch of medicinal pills tonight. You'll be able to increase your strength again soon."

After killing the four Divine Might Realm Great Powers, including Master Jingde, Ye Chen had once again reaped a massive amount of resources.

After all, the wealth of a Divine Might Realm expert was countless times greater than that of a Divinity Transformation Realm expert.

Atop Kunlun Mountain, Ye Chen had suppressed and killed countless experts, yet all the resources he had obtained there combined were less than what any single member of Master Jingde's group possessed.

Hearing this, Chi Ming was instantly delighted.

With Ye Chen's skill in Alchemy, any pills he granted would surely be extraordinary.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Why are you fighting in the corridor?"

A rough voice suddenly pierced through the layers of Forbidden Arrays in the room, booming in Ye Chen's ears.

Outside the room, an expert from the Treasure Gathering Chamber of Commerce had arrived.

The man in the lead was clad in a thick suit of Heavy Armor, his eyes as brilliant as stars. He was currently glaring fiercely at the room, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through the layers of Forbidden Arrays.

Chi Ming opened the door and looked indifferently at the newcomer. "Someone was spying on us, so we took action."

"And that's your reason for attacking?"

The man in Heavy Armor said in a low voice, "If you discovered someone targeting you, you could have reported the matter to our Chamber of Commerce instead of taking matters into your own hands in the corridor."

The man in Heavy Armor's attitude was completely impolite, causing Chi Ming's expression to darken.

He was naturally hot-tempered and had only bothered to explain patiently because he had broken the ship's rules.

But to his surprise, the man seemed dissatisfied with his explanation and appeared intent on pressing the issue.

"Doesn't your Chamber of Commerce stay out of disputes between guests?"

Ye Chen spoke calmly from inside the room.

"Our Chamber of Commerce prefers not to meddle in others' affairs."

"But what if your fighting in the corridor damages the ship's structure?"

The man in Heavy Armor's cold gaze swept toward Ye Chen. "Kid, you got a problem with that?"

"SWOOSH!"

A scorching aura burst forth as a spear wreathed in divine flames shot out of the void, stopping just short of the Heavy Armor man's neck.

The violent fluctuations of aura nearly made the very space around it tremble. The terrifying heat felt like it was about to scorch the man's skin, even through his thick layer of armor.

His expression changed drastically as he stared at the spear before him, his pupils shrinking abruptly. "You! What do you think you're doing?"

"I suggest you watch your tone."

"Otherwise, the next time, I might not be able to hold this spear back!"

Chi Ming said coolly.

The man in Heavy Armor's breath hitched, a flicker of panic welling up in his eyes.

The aura emanating from the red-haired youth before him was overwhelmingly powerful.

Without a doubt, he was a Divine Might Realm expert!

The lethal threat forced the man in Heavy Armor to rein in his temper. He swallowed hard and said in a low voice, "Are you threatening me?"

"And what if I am?"

Chi Ming said coldly, raising an eyebrow.

Ye Chen simply watched silently from the side, saying nothing.
