Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The various Forbidden Arrays on the towering ship were already on the verge of collapse, emitting a series of groans under the immense strain.

Furthermore, the attention of the Chamber of Commerce experts had been diverted by Ye Chen. In that instant, the Supreme Profound Daoist easily shattered the Forbidden Arrays as if they were made of paper. Layers of light barriers scattered into countless streams, dissipating into the pitch-black clouds.

The Supreme Profound Daoist gracefully descended from the giant skeletal hand, landing on the deck of the towering ship.

He had graying temples and wore a worn-out Daoist robe. With his otherworldly bearing, he looked more like an ancient Immortal than the old demon he was said to be.

Beside him, the towering Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable stood respectfully. A hint of derision flickered in his eyes as he swept his gaze across the crowd.

Meanwhile, Jue Yun and the Evil Fiend Demon Venerable intensified their assault. The ship's defensive Forbidden Arrays finally gave way completely, and the pair landed on the towering ship's deck as well.

Including the fiendishly handsome man, the five demon lords gathered on the deck as if they owned the place. Their immense demonic auras converged, blanketing the sky and plunging the entire towering ship into a suffocating, apocalyptic dread.

"They... they broke in!"

"The Forbidden Arrays are broken! Damn it, how could this happen?!"

"..."

Aboard the towering ship, all the Cultivators fell into a panic. They cowered in their rooms, daring only to gaze out their windows at the scene on deck, not venturing a single step outside.

After all, their rooms at least had Forbidden Arrays to protect them. Outside, they would have to face the terrifying demon lords directly.

"This..." All color drained from Murong Dai's beautiful face as she stared blankly at the scene. In the next instant, her expression turned fierce and venomous.

"It's all your fault!"

"You did this! It's all your fault!"

"If this towering ship sinks in the thunderstorm today, you will be the main culprit!"

Murong Dai snarled through gritted teeth, staring daggers at Ye Chen.

The other experts from the Chamber of Commerce also looked at him with hostility.

Only He Daoyun stood to the side with a complicated expression. He glanced at Ye Chen, then simply heaved a heavy sigh, his thoughts unreadable.

Ye Chen remained impassive, ignoring the hostile gazes directed at him.

Mo Tianyun, however, couldn't stand it any longer. He glared at Murong Dai and said in a deep voice, "Commander Murong, how can you blame this on young friend Ye Chen?"

"Given your earlier attitude, did you ever truly treat young friend Ye Chen as one of our own?"

At his words, Murong Dai shot Mo Tianyun a cold look. "What? If this 'young friend Ye Chen' of yours hadn't attacked us, do you think these demon lords would have gotten in?"

"If he's not the one to blame, then who is? Who's going to take the fall for this?"

Before Mo Tianyun could answer, the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable's cold laughter drifted over.

"That's enough. Stop your bickering. Now that we're aboard, allow me to settle a small score first."

He fixed his glacial gaze on Mo Tianyun. "Steward Mo, why don't you lead the way to the afterlife for the others? What do you say?"

Murong Dai was taken aback at his words, but then couldn't help but feel a sense of malicious glee.

Mo Tianyun's face fell. "Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable, you were lucky to get away last time. How fortunate for you to find an opportunity to return with backup for your revenge!"

"Backup?"

"You must be mistaken."

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable chuckled. "The me of today has no need to rely on others to deal with you."

"Crushing an ant like you from the Divinity Transformation Realm is a trivial matter for me."

"What did you say? Could it be..."

Mo Tianyun's pupils shrank as a terrifying possibility occurred to him.

"That's right. With the Grand Elder's help, I have already stepped into the Divine Might Realm!"

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable took a step forward, and the immense aura of the Divine Might Realm surged across the deck. Everyone looked up, stunned, their hearts quaking in terror.

"The Divine Might Realm... First Layer?"

"You actually..." The expressions on the faces of Mo Tianyun and the old man were incredibly grim.

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable of today was far beyond what two Ninth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivators like them could handle!

In their room, Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe watched tensely. When they saw that the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable had become a Divine Might Realm expert, their hearts seized with fear.

Given the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable's methods, he would certainly not spare Mo Tianyun and the old man!

In Ye Chen's room, Hongyu Pill Venerable couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows.

"Are you really not going to help Young Master Ye?" she asked, looking at Chi Ming beside her.

The five great demon lords had boarded the deck together, and just a glance from afar was enough to make her feel an indescribable pressure.

'I can't even imagine the pressure those Cultivators on deck are under, facing those demon lords head-on.'

'Although I know Young Master Ye's combat prowess can't be judged by his cultivation level, the Supreme Profound Daoist himself is out there!'

'His power is unfathomable. It's impossible to know if Ye Chen is a match for him.'

"Master said we just need to watch quietly."

"The fact that he said that proves Master is absolutely confident he can handle the situation!"

Chi Ming's gaze was firm, and his tone was resolute.

Even though he could also sense the enemy's immense power, he had unwavering faith in Ye Chen's words.

Hearing this, Hongyu Pill Venerable simply sighed softly and said nothing more.

'She knew Ye Chen wasn't one to make empty boasts, either.'

'But the situation was so grave, it was hard not to be concerned.'

"Alright. Those two from the Demon Exorcism Institute are over there. Go on and finish them off."

On the deck, the Supreme Profound Daoist glanced impassively at Mo Tianyun and the old man, then averted his gaze.

"Don't worry, Grand Elder. I won't play around with them for long," the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable said with a smirk.

"Fellow Daoist Supreme Profound, we boarded this ship for a reason. This..." Jue Yun said, his eyes flickering with hesitation.

"Relax. They're nothing but fish in a barrel. What can they do but let us have our way with them? It's not like they can fight back."

The Supreme Profound Daoist's tone was casual, as if he didn't give a damn about anyone on the ship. "Let Celestial Slaughter have his fun first. There's no need for us to rush."

At those words, Jue Yun said nothing more.

The others had no objections. Brimming with confidence, they all appeared perfectly calm and composed.

"Mo Tianyun, it's time we exchanged a few moves."

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable stepped forward slowly, his imposing aura surging!

A derisive smile played on his lips. He looked at Mo Tianyun as if he were prey, ready for the slaughter.

Murong Dai's brow furrowed slightly, but she said nothing. In fact, she felt a slight sense of malicious glee.

When she saw He Daoyun and the others look as if they were about to intervene, she even moved to stop them. "Don't move! Let those two be on their way."

Zhong Quanming merely watched with cold indifference, saying nothing.

He was clearly giving his silent approval of Murong Dai's stance.
