Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The Cyan Ape Tribe was one of the foremost powers in the Dark Triangle region.

As one of the Cyan Ape Tribe’s rare, heaven-blessed prodigies, Gu Tianyu wielded a longsword that had reached the level of a high-grade spirit weapon. With every casual swing, its sharp glint seemed capable of tearing through the very void, showcasing an astonishingly lethal power.

Yet Ye Chen simply flexed his arms. A brilliant cyan light erupted, and dense cyan dragon scales instantly covered his body. He used no spirit weapon or secret treasure, meeting the attack bare-fisted with nothing but his own two hands.

”You’re courting death!”

A cold glint flashed across Gu Tianyu’s eyes when he saw this.

’With my high-grade spirit weapon,’ he thought, ’I can easily cleave his body in two.’

SWISH!

SWISH!

...

Countless streams of Sword Qi rained down upon Ye Chen, but the cyan dragon scales deflected them all.

Braving the barrage of sword light, Ye Chen charged forward until he was right in front of Gu Tianyu. He clapped his hands together, catching the longsword and clamping it tightly between his palms.

”Hm?”

Gu Tianyu’s brow furrowed, a flicker of shock crossing his face.

No matter how he channeled power into his longsword—its light flared as dazzlingly as the midday sun, blooming with a magnificent radiance—he could not budge Ye Chen’s hands.

Ye Chen’s palms felt like an unshakeable primordial Divine Mountain, unleashing an astonishing amount of force. They were not only completely unharmed but had also pinned his longsword in place, preventing him from moving it an inch.

”How is this possible?!”

”So you’re a Body Cultivator?”

Gu Tianyu’s eyes widened. Even with this realization, he was still shocked beyond belief. ’After all, not even a Body Cultivator on par with the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm should be able to block that Sword Skill of mine, right?’

And yet, the young man before him—who looked even younger than himself—had done just that, stopping his high-grade spirit weapon with his bare hands.

Da Meng, watching from the side, had of course noticed Gu Tianyu’s predicament. He never would have thought that even after drawing his sword, the Young Master would be locked in a stalemate.

’This kid is clearly only in the Spirit Sea Realm, yet his explosive combat strength is enough to match our Young Master, who is at the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm! How could I not be terrified?’

”Young Master, I’ll help you!”

Da Meng roared and shot a palm strike through the air. Unleashing the full power of his Ninth Layer Primordial Mansion Realm cultivation, a vast Palm Force tore through the void like a torrential river, crashing down upon Ye Chen.

”Don’t you dare interfere with Young Master Ye!”

Song Yubing’s eyes went cold. Her aura surged as she prepared to intercept Da Meng.

But before she could even move, the Ancient God Order had already shot past her, blocking Da Meng’s path!

The profound Array on the Ancient God Order slowly activated. A faint, flowing light coated its surface, its radiance surging like suspended heavenly fire. A powerful aura pulsed outward, completely neutralizing Da Meng’s Palm Force.

Da Meng’s expression changed. ’This guy... why does he have an Ancient God Order!’

’It’s one thing for him to have an Ancient God Order, but he’s in the middle of a fight with the Young Master! How can he possibly be so relaxed that he can divide his focus and use the Order to pin me down?’

’Don’t tell me the Young Master’s strength isn’t even enough to pressure him?’

The very thought seemed utterly absurd to Da Meng.

’A kid at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm fighting one-on-two and holding his own against two Ninth Layer Primordial Mansion Realm experts... If word of this got back to the tribe, no one would ever believe it, would they?’

After blocking Da Meng with the Ancient God Order, Ye Chen’s arms surged with power once more. He was actually trying to wrench the longsword from Gu Tianyu’s grasp!

”Trying to take my high-grade spirit weapon?”

”In your dreams!”

Furious and desperate, Gu Tianyu’s hand seal changed, and he conjured a Light Seal out of thin air!

The Light Seal resembled a miniature giant ape. Waving its arms and letting out a heaven-shaking roar, it transformed into a dazzling cyan glow and shot toward Ye Chen with peerless force.

”Petty tricks!” Ye Chen threw a punch that met the Light Seal head-on. The two violent forces collided in mid-air, erupting in an unimaginable shockwave.

Gu Tianyu seized the opportunity to yank his longsword free from Ye Chen’s grasp and hastily retreated.

”Kid, you’re strong, I’ll give you that...” Gu Tianyu began, his expression ugly. But before he could finish, Ye Chen was on him again, sticking to him like a shadow.

”You...”

Gu Tianyu roared, ”No one can stop me today!”

He brandished his longsword, unleashing a continuous torrent of sword light that surged like a great river. With overwhelming momentum, it instantly submerged Ye Chen.

However, with a flash of cyan light, Ye Chen unleashed a terrifying power. He channeled his Sword Intent, shattering the incoming sword light completely.

”That’s... Sword Intent?! Why do you...”

Gu Tianyu cried out in shock and rage, almost against his will. But he had no time to say more, for Ye Chen had already torn through his barrage of attacks and was upon him once again.

In this moment of crisis, Gu Tianyu had no time to counterattack. He hastily brought his longsword up horizontally in a desperate attempt to block Ye Chen’s assault.

BOOM!

Ye Chen’s fist slammed viciously into the flat of the blade. For a split second, light flared across the sword’s body before it shattered into pieces!

The peerless force then continued through the broken sword, blasting into Gu Tianyu and scattering his internal Spiritual Power. As if hit by a mountain, he was sent flying backward, spewing blood as his aura rapidly diminished.

”Young Master!!!”

Da Meng cried out in alarm. His aura flared as he charged toward Ye Chen.

This time, Ye Chen didn’t bother using the Ancient God Order. He turned impassively, faced the oncoming figure, clenched his fist, and threw a single, unadorned punch.

BANG!

A violent sonic boom echoed out. An invisible shockwave erupted from Ye Chen, powerful enough to scatter the clouds in the sky.

Da Meng was sent flying backward even faster than he had charged in. The sheer force of the impact knocked him unconscious instantly. His chest cavity had caved in, and his body was a mangled ruin of flesh and blood, a truly gruesome sight.

Just then, the Ancient God Order transformed into a streak of light and shot forward.

”No!” From a short distance away, Gu Tianyu screamed upon seeing this.

But Ye Chen clearly had no intention of stopping. The Ancient God Order crashed down, smashing Da Meng into a bloody pulp.
