Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

At that moment, Shen Yanyue turned to Mu Shanhong, who was standing to the side. ”Elder Mu, what are your thoughts?”

”Me?” Mu Shanhong was taken aback. ”I also fully approve of Sect Leader Shen’s methods.”

”Is that so?” Shen Yanyue gave Mu Shanhong a deep, meaningful look. ”I only hope that Elder Mu will genuinely join forces with us. I imagine you don’t want to be controlled by others at every turn just because they have a bit of leverage over you, do you?”

Mu Shanhong couldn’t help but force a bitter smile.

He knew that Shen Yanyue had seen through his hesitation and unease.

But he knew the temperament of the Nine Nether Sect’s Leader better than anyone.

If the Nine Nether Sect’s Leader ever found out that he had brutally murdered his son, Mu Shanhong feared he would soon be joining Yang Yin in the afterlife.

That was why Mu Shanhong had been restless and uneasy ever since Ye Chen obtained the Recording Stone.

He wanted to rise up and fight back against Ye Chen, but he could never bring himself to make the decision.

”Hmph!”

Seeing Mu Shanhong’s indecisive appearance, Shen Yanyue couldn’t help but curse inwardly, ’What a coward.’

She had already given up on this man.

When the time came, she would personally contact the Nine Nether Sect and tell them everything.

As long as she could gain the support of the Nine Nether Sect, her confidence in dealing with Ye Chen would naturally increase.

As for whether Mu Shanhong lived or died... she couldn’t care less!

...

Inside the Cold Wind Sect’s treasury, various Spirit Medicines and secret manuals were arranged in orderly sections.

The dazzling array of treasures left Ye Chen momentarily stunned.

’As expected of one of the three great sects of Lei Province. The Cold Wind Sect’s foundation is truly extraordinary.’

Ye Chen first went to the weapons area to have a look, but he soon shook his head in disappointment.

’The Cold Wind Sect is predominantly female. They aren’t particularly skilled in the brutal art of using Spiritual Soldiers to fight enemies.’

’As I thought, the quality of the Spiritual Soldiers here is quite average.’

If the weapons used by mortals were called ”weapons,” then the weapons used by Cultivators were called Spiritual Soldiers.

In the Eastern Wilderness, Spiritual Soldiers were divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Above Top-grade Spiritual Soldiers were Earth Spirit Soldiers and Celestial Spirit Soldiers.

As one of the three great sects of Lei Province, the Cold Wind Sect’s treasury was surprisingly filled with mostly low-grade and mid-grade Spiritual Soldiers.

He couldn’t even find a single high-grade one.

For a moment, Ye Chen was at a loss for words.

He casually picked up several mid-grade Spiritual Soldiers, weighed them, and placed the ones of better quality into his Storage Ring.

As for the other Spiritual Soldiers, he had already lost interest.

After searching around some more, Ye Chen collected all the useful pills and Spirit Grass he could find, then began to cultivate the World-Shaking Records of the Demon God.

’The resources here are abundant. It’s a rare opportunity for me to be here, so I must make full use of it!’

Therefore, Ye Chen decided to use this opportunity to push for a higher realm.

A large quantity of Spirit Grass and Spirit Medicine was swallowed by Ye Chen.

In an instant, a surging energy roiled through his meridians. Ye Chen didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly began to refine it.

His aura also gradually climbed during this cultivation session, and he soon broke through the bottleneck of the Seventh Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm.

Eighth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm... Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm...

Ninth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm... Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm...

Just as Ye Chen was preparing to go all out and break through to the Spirit Sea Realm...

...a strange message suddenly emerged from the World-Shaking Records of the Demon God, which was enveloped in golden light within his mind.

The message was full of obscure and difficult-to-read ancient text, looking like illegible scribbles.

But Ye Chen instantly understood its meaning.

”Hmm?”

’Condense the foundation of a Demon God, step into the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm, and reproduce the might of an Ancient Demon God?’

’Once I enter the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm, when I condense my Spiritual Sea in the future, my combat power will skyrocket, making me invincible within the Spirit Sea Realm!’

Ye Chen’s thoughts churned, and his heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.

In the end, the World-Shaking Records of the Demon God was created by an Ancient Demon God.

Cultivating this technique meant molding oneself to be as powerful as an Ancient Demon God. At higher levels of cultivation, one could even truly reproduce the terror of an Ancient Demon God.

And when the Ancient Demon Gods were in the Blood Coagulation Realm, they didn’t rush to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.

Instead, they accumulated their power, refining their cultivation to the absolute limit. Only after stepping into the extreme realm did they let loose and charge toward the subsequent realms!

’The Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm?’

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

The difficulty of breaking into the extreme realm was incredibly high, even much higher than condensing a Spiritual Sea!

After all, according to the cultivation path of the World-Shaking Records of the Demon God, condensing a Spiritual Sea was something that would happen naturally when the conditions were right.

As long as one’s cultivation level was sufficient, it would naturally form successfully.

But breaking into the extreme realm was different.

It not only required a massive amount of cultivation resources but also unyielding perseverance and an indomitable will!

’Blood Coagulation... only by refining a body of Demon Blood can one be considered to have truly stepped into the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm, on par with an Ancient Demon God of the same era!’

’And to refine Demon Blood, I need a large amount of Evil Qi, as well as Spirit Medicine!’

Ye Chen took a deep breath.

There was no shortage of Spirit Medicine in the treasury, but where was he going to find Evil Qi?

’Wait... there actually is some!’

Ye Chen’s expression flickered, and he abruptly opened his eyes!

Just a moment ago, he had clearly sensed waves of an incredibly familiar aura coming from a corner of the treasury!

Ye Chen got up and walked to the corner, where numerous items and tools from demonic sects were placed!

Evidently, these were spoils of war harvested by the Cold Wind Sect when they annihilated demonic sect forces!

’Bloodthirst Pills?’

’Heavenly Evil Spirit Grass?’

’And the skeletal remains of a Primordial Mansion Realm expert?’

Ye Chen’s heart pounded with excitement as he looked through the items before him.

It seemed his attempt to break into the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm was now possible!

Without delay, Ye Chen immediately began to cultivate.

This time, he used every single resource at his disposal.

He continuously advanced toward the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm!

The aura around his body grew deeper and more condensed. Compared to an ordinary Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm, he appeared more reserved.

But the explosive power contained within his body was far stronger than even a Spirit Sea Realm expert’s!

Previously, at only the Sixth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm, Ye Chen could suppress Shen Yanyue and the others, who were at the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. His combat power was comparable to someone at the Fourth or even Fifth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

This undoubtedly highlighted the power of the World-Shaking Records of the Demon God!

And once he stepped into the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm...

...which was the unknown Tenth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm, a level above the Ninth Layer!

Ye Chen believed that even if he encountered an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, he could easily suppress them!

Below the Primordial Mansion Realm, he would be without an equal!

Soon, three days passed in a flash.

On the first day, Ye Chen had easily broken through from the Sixth Layer to the Ninth Layer of the Blood Coagulation Realm.

But when he tried to break into the Extreme Blood Coagulation Realm, also known as the Tenth Layer...

...he felt his progress slow down significantly.

Even now, he still hadn’t felt the opportunity to break through!

For these three days, he immersed himself in cultivation, paying no mind to worldly affairs.

Outside, however, a storm was brewing, creating a sense of unease.
