Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

A thunderous roar echoed through the world. Amidst the rolling shockwaves, Yu Sanqiu’s body shook violently as he was flung backward.

His face turned crimson. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he violently spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to stabilize himself in mid-air.

In contrast, Ye Chen’s slender figure was as firm as a bedrock, unmoved by the surrounding tempest.

At this moment, although he lacked any Spiritual Cultivation, he had refined the Fire Jade Red Cloud Ginseng. The power of his Divine Soul was more than enough to keep him aloft in battle.

”What?”

”Elder Yu... is actually losing?”

The members of the Yu family looked on in shock, crying out in disbelief.

Even Xiao Long and Qiu Chenfeng’s faces grew solemn; they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Who could have imagined that Ye Chen, with no Spiritual Cultivation, would be stronger in pure combat strength than Yu Sanqiu, an Eighth Layer Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator?

The members of the Huo family were stunned as well. After a moment of shock, they all grew excited.

The combat prowess Ye Chen had just displayed undoubtedly gave them a glimmer of hope for escape.

They had thought their doom was certain, facing an ambush from three major powers.

It wasn’t until they saw Ye Chen gain the upper hand against Yu Sanqiu that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their spirits lifting.

”This is no time to get careless!”

Huo Wuji was stunned for a moment before snapping out of his shock and speaking urgently.

”That’s right!”

Huo Susu also nodded. ”Even though Young Master Ye seems capable of suppressing the Yu family’s Supreme Elder, our situation is still perilous. We have no idea what other schemes they’ve prepared for us.”

”Regardless, we can’t let our guard down until we’ve truly escaped!”

Ye Chen’s performance made her own heart tremble.

But she knew this was no time to relax.

As the shockwaves gradually faded, the morning light spilled across the sky, bathing the young man in a golden glow.

Ye Chen slowly lifted his gaze to Yu Sanqiu, a look of disappointment appearing on his face.

”It seems I overestimated you,” he said.

”Hmph!”

”Don’t get cocky!”

Yu Sanqiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, his expression savage. ”I don’t know where you learned such a miraculous Body Refining Technique, but in the end, you’re just a good-for-nothing with no cultivation!”

”No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you won’t be turning the tables today!”

It was no wonder that Yu Sanqiu and the others were so shocked.

Although he was the Supreme Elder of a major power, he was ultimately just a Cultivator from the Black Triangle.

In his experience, a Body Refining Technique was typically just icing on the cake. It was like martial arts; practicing it could enhance one’s combat strength, but Spiritual Power was still the necessary foundation.

It was unheard of for someone like Ye Chen to clash head-on with a Divinity Transformation Cultivator like him using only the power of their physical body.

For the Cultivation Realm of the Black Triangle, such a thing was simply unheard of!

How could they possibly have known that the True Dragon Jade Emperor Scripture Ye Chen cultivated was a Cultivation Technique passed down from the True Dragon clan, considered a form of True Dragon Treasure Skill.

In a bygone era, the True Dragon clan had reached the apex of the Cultivation Realm, and they were the most powerful race in the world.

Any of the True Dragon Treasure Skills they left behind were endlessly profound, surpassing all imagination.

Furthermore, it was not at all uncommon for members of the True Dragon clan to achieve enlightenment through their physical bodies, without cultivating Spiritual Power!

Seeing the shocked and doubtful expression on Yu Sanqiu’s face, Ye Chen simply gave a faint smile.

In truth, he was a little surprised by the outcome himself.

But on second thought, it all made sense.

A Cultivator’s combat strength was often tied to factors like their Cultivation Technique, their foundational cultivation, the depth of their realm, and their innate talent.

Yu Sanqiu was indeed a first-rate expert in the Black Triangle’s Cultivation Realm, with a profound foundation that was not to be underestimated.

But compared to Ye Chen, who practiced the True Dragon Jade Emperor Scripture, Yu Sanqiu was completely outclassed.

No matter how profound his own cultivation foundation was, it could never match the power of the True Dragon Jade Emperor Scripture.

This explained why Ye Chen, whose physical body had only recovered to the strength of the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, could so easily injure Yu Sanqiu, who was at the very same level.

’Originally, I planned to use the Profound Armor Combat Puppet as my trump card. Even if I was outmatched, at least my life wouldn’t be in danger.’

’But from the looks of it now, so what if I don’t have any Spiritual Cultivation? I don’t even need the Profound Armor Combat Puppet. I can probably annihilate all of them by myself!’

At this thought, Ye Chen hesitated no longer. He took a step forward, and his entire body was bathed in a faint purple light.

Illusory dragon scales materialized over his arms. An ancient, desolate, and boundless aura seemed to ripple through the world, making everyone’s very souls tremble!

RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE—

In the nearby mountain forests, countless trees and bushes began to sway.

It was the sound of countless demonic beasts, trembling and fleeing in terror!

The aura of a True Dragon was incomparably majestic. The pressure that originated from the very depths of the bloodline was enough to make every demonic beast in the vicinity tremble uncontrollably.

”Watch out!” Xiao Long’s eyes narrowed as he managed to cry out a warning.

The next moment, Ye Chen’s figure appeared right in front of Yu Sanqiu.

Yu Sanqiu’s expression shifted. He was, after all, a battle-hardened veteran and was not so easily intimidated by Ye Chen. He mobilized his Spiritual Power, forming several lances of energy in his palm that shot straight for Ye Chen’s neck.

Even he knew that such a minor attack was unlikely to have any effect on Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen’s display of power was simply too tyrannical, leaving him secretly alarmed.

Before the lances of Spiritual Power could even strike Ye Chen, he destroyed them with a mere flick of his finger.

An invisible force seemed to spread through the air, causing the lances of Spiritual Power to detonate in mid-flight and dissolve into countless motes of light that vanished into thin air.

Ye Chen, however, did not slow in the slightest. With unstoppable momentum, he threw a ferocious punch toward Yu Sanqiu.

The explosive force seemed to make the very heavens and earth pale in comparison. For a moment, Ye Chen almost had the illusion that his cultivation had been fully restored.

”Damn it!”

Unable to block the blow, Yu Sanqiu was sent flying back by Ye Chen’s punch, blood spraying from his mouth like rain as he soared through the air.

”Again!”

Before he could even catch his breath, Ye Chen was upon him again.

The young man’s expression was impassive. Beneath the ethereal purple dragon scales, a power that roiled like volcanic magma lay hidden. He threw another punch, intending to crush Yu Sanqiu completely!

”This kid is not easy to deal with! You two, help me now!” Yu Sanqiu roared, his face grim.

The words had barely left his lips when the shadow of a hammer, carrying immense force, came crashing down toward the back of Ye Chen’s head.

In truth, they hadn’t needed Yu Sanqiu’s reminder. The moment Ye Chen pressed his advantage, both Xiao Long and Qiu Chenfeng had sprung into action!
