Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The moment the red-haired youth arrived before Ye Chen, he knelt on one knee, his face alight with excitement.

His respectful voice echoed endlessly between heaven and earth.

Hearing this, Lord Shakyamuni, Mu Liuji, and the others were instantly stunned.

Master?

’So this powerful youth, who has already stepped into the Divine Might Realm, is actually Ye Chen’s... servant?’

”You’ve become surprisingly handsome after your transformation. You might even outshine your master’s charm in the future.”

Sizing up the red-haired youth before him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.

That’s right. This red-haired youth was none other than the successfully transformed Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving!

It was originally at the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Because it lacked a method for transformation, it had been unable to step into the Divine Might Realm.

But after receiving the transformation method from Ye Chen, it had gone into seclusion to comprehend it and finally succeeded. Its cultivation underwent a true metamorphosis, and its strength experienced an earth-shattering change!

The Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving was already a rare and powerful Great Demon, so after his transformation, his combat power soared even higher.

Although he was only at the First Layer of the Divine Might Realm, in a true battle, he would be a worthy match even for Lord Shakyamuni, who was at the Third Layer!

Long before Mu Liuji appeared, Ye Chen had already sensed the arrival of the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving.

After the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving successfully transformed, it learned that Ye Chen had left the Cloud Mist Tower Ship. It then followed Ye Chen’s aura and trail all the way here.

As it happened, it found Ye Chen in a predicament, cornered by two Divine Might Realm Great Powers.

He revealed himself immediately, unleashing his astonishing combat power and completely stunning Lord Shakyamuni and Mu Liuji!

”If I had arrived a moment sooner, Master, you wouldn’t have been bullied by these scoundrels.”

”Rest assured, Master. With me here, no one will lay a hand on you today!”

The Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving snorted coldly. A monstrous, blazing flame seemed to simmer in his dazzling, ruby-like eyes. When he swept his gaze over Lord Shakyamuni, Mu Liuji, and the others, it was so chillingly murderous that it struck terror into their hearts.

”Since you’ve successfully transformed, you should have a proper name like a human.”

”Just like before, I’ll call you Chi Ming.”

Ye Chen patted the dust from his shoulder and smiled casually.

He had originally called the Crimson Nether Flame Prison Carving that purely for convenience.

Now that he was used to it, he couldn’t be bothered to change it. He might as well make it the name, which was convenient anyway.

Chi Ming was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands in a salute. ”Thank you for granting me this name, Master.”

’How... how can this be?!’

’That kid... actually has a subordinate in the Divine Might Realm?’

Not far away, Xu Ao’s face had gone pale with fright. Cold sweat dripped down his back, and his entire body went rigid.

He never would have imagined that Ye Chen had such powerful support.

’I thought dealing with Ye Chen today would be a sure thing. But plans can never keep up with reality; life is just so unpredictable.’

”Hmm?”

Xu Ao’s panicked appearance caught Chi Ming’s attention. He frowned and said coldly, ”A Divinity Transformation Realm rookie?”

”Master, what should be done with this person?”

Ye Chen shot Xu Ao an indifferent glance.

From the very beginning, he had never taken this group from the Xu family seriously.

The only reason he hadn’t sought revenge against the Xu family before was to see if he could draw out a bigger fish.

It seemed that the so-called ”bigger fish” were the people from the Saint Temple.

Ye Chen shrugged and said casually, ”Just kill him.”

”As you command.”

Chi Ming nodded. He looked at Xu Ao, his body radiating with intense killing intent!

”No... no!”

”Lord Mu, save me!”

Xu Ao felt his vital energy locked in place by Chi Ming. The color drained from his old face, and he began to panic.

Mu Liuji’s brow furrowed. He was just about to act, but Chi Ming was faster!

A streak of fiery light shot out as if piercing the void. It crossed several hundred meters in half a blink, arriving right before Xu Ao.

Xu Ao’s eyes widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably. The fear of death enveloped him completely!

In that moment, his heart filled with nothing but deep regret!

”Ancestor, save me!”

BOOM!

Xu Ao crushed the Token in his hand. An ethereal shadow of an old man seemed to emerge, displaying a terrifying aura that could shake the heavens and the earth.

”Who dares harm my Xu fam—”

The old man’s ethereal shadow had just appeared and hadn’t even finished its sentence before the fiery light pierced through it, causing it to explode into nothingness.

Although the remnant will of the Xu family’s ancestor failed to save Xu Ao, it at least bought a little time.

Mu Liuji seized the opportunity to act. With a wave of his hand, a deep, dark light shot out, intending to block Chi Ming’s attack.

But at that very moment, a clear Sword Chant resounded through the world. Innumerable strands of Sword Qi crisscrossed and rose to block Mu Liuji’s attack.

”No, no, no—” With a shrill scream, the fiery light pierced directly through Xu Ao’s body. The scorching heat instantly incinerated him, leaving not even his Divine Soul behind.

”Tsk.” Mu Liuji’s eyes turned cold. He looked over and was met with the sight of Ye Chen’s smiling face.

The one who had just blocked him was, of course, Ye Chen!

Although Ye Chen was not in his peak state and couldn’t fight a Divine Might Realm Great Power head-on, he was still capable of blocking Mu Liuji’s attack.

”Now, it’s your turn!”

Chi Ming held a long spear surging with divine flames. His aura was terrifyingly wild as he fixed his cold gaze on Mu Liuji.

”Hmph!”

”I don’t have time to waste with you here.”

Mu Liuji sneered. ”Since this operation has failed, I will withdraw.”

Hearing this, the faces of the two Saint Monks at the side changed.

”Lord Mu, we paid a great price for your services. Are you really planning to just wash your hands of this?”

They were extremely anxious. They knew that with the red-haired youth present, it was impossible to do anything to Ye Chen. But if Mu Liuji were to leave, they would undoubtedly be facing a dead end!

”Don’t worry. I am a Celestial Tier assassin from the Valley of Death. I value my reputation greatly.”

”But you saw it yourselves. It’s impossible to deal with this kid today. Staying here would just be a waste of time.”

Mu Liuji said faintly, ”However, I will still make a move on this kid if the opportunity arises. After all, I have never failed to complete a mission I’ve accepted!”

”It’s just that it will have to be next time. We’ve already missed our chance.”

With that, he turned gracefully. A pitch-black curtain of night spread out behind him, and he simply walked into the gloom.

Soon, the pitch-black curtain dispersed, and the surroundings brightened once more.

Mu Liuji’s figure, however, had vanished completely.

Seeing this, the two Saint Monks fell into utter despair.
