Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Within the Cyan Dragon Tribe, everyone was gathered in the main hall.

Ye Chen’s expression grew solemn as he listened to Qiwei’s words.

The Xuanwu Tribe, the undisputed, absolute hegemon of the Black Triangle Region!

In his current condition, if the Xuanwu Tribe were to find him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“In my opinion, fellow cultivator, it would be wise for you to be cautious,” Qiwei said.

“But I have to get the Xuanwu Tribe’s fire seed… It’s the only one I’m missing!” Ye Chen said, his eyes glinting.

“I knew it.” Qiwei sighed, a hint of resignation appearing on her somewhat charming face. “You want to condense the Sacred Fire of Creation, don’t you?”

“That’s right,” Ye Chen didn’t deny it.

“According to legend, the Sacred Fire of Creation contains the world’s most profound and wondrous power of creation, like an endless wellspring of vitality. It can help a Cultivator cure any illness and render them immune to all poisons.”

“Even if you’re injured, the Sacred Fire of Creation can rapidly heal your wounds. You could be brought back from the brink of death, even with just one breath left!”

“It’s practically a divine, life-saving artifact capable of raising the dead and regenerating flesh on bone!”

Qiwei looked at Ye Chen and said, “Unfortunately, a wondrous treasure of that caliber exists only in legends. No one knows if such a divine fire truly exists.”

“If you put yourself in danger for something so illusory, I’m afraid the risk won’t be worth the reward!”

Ye Chen paused. Qiwei’s warning was not without reason.

But his mind was made up. To restore himself to his Peak state, he had to obtain the Sacred Fire of Creation!

Now, with only the Xuanwu fire seed left to acquire, Ye Chen wasn’t in a rush. He decided to recuperate for a while before planning his next move.

Having already collected three fire seeds, the injuries to his physical body should recover even further. He certainly wouldn’t be stuck at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Might Realm.

By then, he would be more confident in facing any unknown risks and dangers!

After the great battle ended, Ye Chen not only took the Storage Rings from Yu Sanqiu and the others but also retrieved his Profound Armor Combat Puppet.

During his downtime, Ye Chen carefully inspected the Profound Armor Combat Puppet for damage.

To his relief, the Profound Armor Combat Puppet had only suffered some minor cracks and wasn’t significantly damaged.

As long as it had a sufficient supply of Spirit Stones, it should be able to continue fighting.

Soon, the gathering in the main hall came to an end.

The members of the Cyan Dragon Tribe began to regroup and clean up their settlement, which was in shambles and had been reduced to near ruins.

Meanwhile, the Huo family started to contemplate the whereabouts of the Profound Mirror Treasure Record. They had no intention of giving up and were continuously trying to contact the Huo family’s Grand Elder, Huo Tianxing.

Only Ye Chen remained focused on sensing the power of the three divine beast fire seeds within him, attempting to use their creative power to heal his injuries.

However, the peace didn’t last long before a new, unexpected event occurred!

A huge roar echoed from outside the Cyan Dragon Tribe’s settlement. The entire ground seemed to shake, and the powerful aftershock stirred up a cloud of dust, causing large swaths of the nearby forest to collapse.

“What?”

“What’s going on?”

Everyone was startled.

The members of the Cyan Dragon Tribe rushed out to investigate.

“Priest, this is bad…”

Someone shouted, their face filled with terror.

“What in the world happened?”

Qiwei’s expression tightened. She took a step forward, appearing outside the main hall.

Behind her, Ye Chen, Huo Susu, and the others followed.

“This is…”

Ye Chen’s brow furrowed slightly as a terrifying pressure washed over him!

In the distant sky, a figure was hovering in the air.

It was a man in his prime, clad in silver-white armor. His handsome, resolute face was filled with a heart-stopping, murderous aura.

Deep within his bright, piercing eyes, a vast silver divine light seemed to surge. A single glance from him could exert immense pressure on anyone who met his gaze.

Behind the man was a large group of people dressed in the same silver armor.

They stood in neat formation, their bodies exuding an overwhelming murderous aura. It was clearly a well-trained unit.

“Where is Ye Chen? Show yourself at once!”

“I have been waiting for you for a long time!!!”

The man’s voice boomed. Silver divine light burst from his eyes, and a vast fluctuation of Spiritual Power swept through the world like a storm!

Whether it was the members of the Huo family or the Cyan Dragon Tribe, everyone felt an indescribable pressure that made it almost difficult to breathe!

Only Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged. His figure stood as firm as a mountain, not shaken in the slightest.

‘This expert who has already stepped into the Divine Might Realm is actually here for me?’

Without a second thought, Ye Chen guessed the man’s origin.

Even the strongest experts among the top factions in the Black Triangle were generally only at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

This Divine Might Realm expert before him had to be from the most mysterious and profound of them all—the Xuanwu Tribe!!!

“I am Ye Chen. You were looking for me?”

Ye Chen considered for a moment, then stepped forward under the worried gazes of Huo Susu and the others.

This wasn’t his first encounter with people from the Xuanwu Tribe.

However, in Ye Chen’s memory, he didn’t know much about this powerful faction that stood at the apex of the Black Triangle.

“Oh? So you’re not dead after all!”

Immense Spiritual Power suddenly surged in the man’s palm. It gathered into a vortex before solidifying into a long silver spear. The spear’s tip spat out silver divine flames, emitting an utterly terrifying aura.

“You want to kill me?” Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

“No. My mission is only to bring you back to the tribe,” the man said coolly. The fighting spirit in his eyes flared, and he looked ready to strike at any moment.

This made Ye Chen frown. “You seem to be in a hurry to fight.”

“I’ve already used a tracing technique to witness the battle that took place here.”

The man’s tone was indifferent. “Your strength has recovered to a level that can threaten me. To take you back, a fierce battle is inevitable.”

“I don’t quite understand,” Ye Chen said with a frown. “When have I ever provoked your Xuanwu Tribe? Before we fight, can you tell me the reason?”

“As for that, you can ask our Clan Leader yourself.” The man’s expression was blank, his attitude uncompromising.

This reminded Ye Chen of the scene atop Kunlun Mountain.

Back then, a Peak Divinity Transformation Realm expert from the Xuanwu Tribe, known as Mr. Yun, had also come under orders to take Ye Chen away.

That had been Ye Chen’s first real encounter with the Xuanwu Tribe.

In the end, Mr. Yun was killed by Ye Chen, but Ye Chen still hadn’t figured out why the Xuanwu Tribe’s Clan Leader wanted to capture him.

Moreover, Ye Chen couldn’t understand it.

‘It seems the Xuanwu Tribe discovered me long ago?’
