Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

In an instant, an incredibly powerful shockwave radiated from mid-air. The surrounding trees were all snapped in half, leaving only their stumps. The mountain rock itself shattered, transforming into countless shards that tumbled down the slopes.

While the Profound Armor Combat Puppet couldn’t compare to a true Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator, the power it unleashed with every move was scarcely weaker than that of an ordinary one!

Caught in this astonishing collision, the terrifying aftershocks were like a tidal wave. Even a top-tier genius like Song Yubing, a Seventh Layer Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator, could only flee to a safe distance and watch, not daring to get any closer!

Amidst her shock, Song Yubing suddenly froze.

’That girl, as graceful and peerless as a fairy... she didn’t seem to have fled with me. She’s still there!’

’This is bad!’

Song Yubing’s heart leaped in alarm. She looked to where the spirit was standing and saw that the girl had been completely engulfed by the aftershock. A look of panic flashed across her face.

’Hit by a Divinity Transformation Level aftershock... That girl is almost certainly doomed!’

Just as Song Yubing was looking on worriedly, the dust settled, revealing the spirit’s peerlessly elegant figure once more.

To Song Yubing’s utter disbelief, the girl—who looked like a fairy gracing the mortal realm—was completely unfazed despite being hit by such a powerful aftershock. Her expression remained calm and indifferent, and her clothes were spotless, as if brand new!

She was completely unharmed!

’How is this possible?!’

’Such a powerful aftershock had no effect on her at all? How on earth did she neutralize it?’

Song Yubing’s heart pounded with shock.

’It seems this stunning girl who is always by Ye Chen’s side, despite rarely speaking or showing any great strength, is just like him—another terrifying individual hiding her true power!’

BOOM!

...

The Profound Armor Combat Puppet and Ye Chen slammed into each other. Dark golden light and brilliant cyan light vied for dominance, clashing and crushing one another until they formed two distinct domains in the sky.

A flurry of Ye Chen’s fists flew, becoming a cascade of cyan light that hammered down upon the Profound Armor Combat Puppet.

The Profound Armor Combat Puppet’s eyes blazed like twin suns as a scorching aura erupted from its body. Its dark golden light surged, completely neutralizing the immense power of Ye Chen’s blows. Then, it countered with a rapid series of Palm Seals, its offensive terrifyingly swift and fierce!

This nearly Tier Six Profound Armor Combat Puppet, even after eons of time and despite its damaged state, still possessed heaven-shaking combat power, easily repelling all of Ye Chen’s attacks!

’So... so strong!’

The color drained from Song Yubing’s face as she watched.

This battle didn’t just showcase the Profound Armor Combat Puppet’s power; it revealed Ye Chen’s terrifying, unreachable combat strength.

’If an ordinary Ninth Layer Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator had to face a single punch or palm from either of them, they’d be blown to pieces on the spot!’

’Even a top prodigy like Gu Tianyu, at Half-Step Divinity Transformation, would likely meet the same fate!’

Watching this scene, Gu Tianyu was just as shocked, his face a mask of utter horror.

He could not believe it. ’I’ve already deployed the Profound Armor Combat Puppet—a weapon on par with the Divinity Transformation Realm—yet I still can’t gain the upper hand against this boy.’

’If this keeps up, the Profound Armor Combat Puppet will probably sustain even more serious damage. At that rate, its combat power might not even be at the Primordial Mansion Realm!’

’At this rate, I’m doomed!’

’Damn it!’

’Why isn’t Elder Lin here yet?! What is he doing?!’ Gu Tianyu’s eyes flickered, and he burned with anxiety, wishing he could flee into the depths of the cave right that instant.

’But the Sky-Swallowing Giant Python that just shed its skin is in there. That’s also a terrifying beast that just reached the Divinity Transformation Realm! Even if it’s weakened now, with my level of strength, I wouldn’t dare provoke an existence like that!’

’The only thing I can do now is wait! Wait for Elder Lin to get free and come rescue me!’

It wasn’t that Gu Tianyu hadn’t thought about escaping.

But the Ancient God Order seemed to have eyes of its own, watching his every move from the sidelines.

The moment he made the slightest move, the Ancient God Order would transform into a streak of light and strike him, forcing him to cough up more blood and worsening his injuries.

BOOM!

A deafening roar thundered through the air!

Ye Chen had once again traded blows with the Profound Armor Combat Puppet. The puppet only swayed slightly before steadying itself, while Ye Chen was forced back several steps before he could regain his footing.

Ye Chen was taken aback.

’Ever since I started cultivating the True Dragon Emperor’s Scripture, I’ve rarely met anyone who could match my physical strength in a head-on clash.’

’This Profound Armor Combat Puppet is truly something else!’

’Looks like I’ll have to use my Sword Intent.’

Ye Chen channeled his Sword Intent, instantly adding immense killing power to every punch. The surging Spiritual Power from his cultivation at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm also erupted, condensing upon his fists!

In an instant, the light on Ye Chen’s arms became dazzling. Golden and cyan light intertwined, creating a divine and astonishing sight!

BOOM!

Another punch!!!

This time, a series of CRACKING sounds emanated from within the Profound Armor Combat Puppet. It seemed some component had been damaged!

’What?’

’How is this possible?!’

Gu Tianyu’s eyes went wide, his heart seizing with horror.

’Don’t tell me even the Profound Armor Combat Puppet can’t stop him?’

Just then, as the Profound Armor Combat Puppet sustained damage, something happened that made Gu Tianyu’s face drain of all color.

His control over the Profound Armor Combat Puppet had suddenly weakened!

Gu Tianyu immediately whipped his head toward the girl in the white dress nearby!

The girl’s eyes were placid, her expression indifferent. Her hands seemed to be forming various techniques, steadily weakening the soul imprint on the Profound Armor Combat Puppet!

”NO!!!”

Gu Tianyu clearly could not accept this.

The Profound Armor Combat Puppet was his ultimate trump card. ’Didn’t I come here to hunt the Sky-Swallowing Giant Python precisely to use its hide to repair some of the puppet’s components?’

Now that someone was trying to snatch the Profound Armor Combat Puppet from him, he was seething with rage. Gathering what little strength he had left, he launched an attack at the spirit nearby!

The spirit’s expression was indifferent; she paid the attack no mind.

A streak of light shot out, completely blocking Gu Tianyu’s attack!

Meanwhile, as the Profound Armor Combat Puppet sustained more damage, its combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and it could no longer effectively block Ye Chen’s assault.

Under the relentless barrage of Ye Chen’s powerful attacks, the Profound Armor Combat Puppet was pushed back continuously, its dark golden light growing ever dimmer.

Furthermore, with the soul imprint on it being steadily weakened, the combat power it could bring to bear dwindled.
