Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

At this thought, a sense of desolation washed over Tan Jingyu.

The emergence of the Three Treasures of Profound Mirror meant the foundation of the seal had crumbled. This had long foretold the Profound Mirror Celestial Master’s return to the world.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about sealing the Profound Mirror Celestial Master away again.

But with their abilities, it was simply impossible to reinforce the seal.

They had only succeeded in their sneak attack back then because the Profound Mirror Celestial Master was already gravely injured from a battle with a powerful enemy.

Moreover, he had only just managed, with great difficulty, to gather all the Three Treasures of Profound Mirror that had recently appeared.

Before he even had a chance to find Master Zixu and Yulingzi to devise a counter-strategy, Ye Chen’s trail suddenly appeared.

For the sake of the Ancient God Order, he had naturally rushed into a fight with Ye Chen.

But who could have expected that Ye Chen was merely creating a diversion? He had gone to the Xuanwu Tribe first and refined the Creation Sacred Flame.

Now, everything was beyond redemption. Tan Jingyu’s heart turned completely cold.

He knew all too well how terrifyingly powerful his master was, so he had no intention of struggling any further.

After all, in his current state, he couldn’t even beg for death!

Seeing the look of utter despair on Tan Jingyu’s face, the Profound Mirror Celestial Master seemed quite pleased. He smiled faintly. ”Don’t worry, my good disciple. I won’t kill you so quickly.”

”I will let you see what happens when thousands of years of suppressed rage are unleashed upon this world!”

With that, the Profound Mirror Celestial Master casually turned to look at Ye Chen in the distance.

”Divinity Transformation Realm... Ninth Layer?”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master raised a slight eyebrow, a flash of disdain in his eyes. ”With such pitiful strength, you still managed to put my disciple in such a predicament. You truly are something.”

Indeed, at this moment, Ye Chen had already completely refined the Creation Sacred Flame.

Using the power of the Creation Sacred Flame, he had also consumed several types of Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines, finally breaking through multiple barriers at once to step into the Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

At last, the Spiritual Power within his body finally calmed down.

Before, Ye Chen was merely a Cultivator at the Fourth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Now, after several months of consolidation and recovery, he had successfully refined the Creation Sacred Flame. Not only had his cultivation base fully recovered, but he had also broken through to the Ninth Layer Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm in one fell swoop.

For Ye Chen, this outcome was quite satisfactory.

This was also why Ye Chen had been standing by and watching all this time.

He was, of course, happy to stall for time to further advance his cultivation.

”You’re the number one figure of the Black Triangle from thousands of years ago, the Profound Mirror Celestial Master?”

Things having come to this, Ye Chen no longer planned to remain an observer. Although he had already guessed as much, he still asked the question.

”That’s right.”

”How do you think I’ll deal with you?”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master sized Ye Chen up with great interest. ”Should I avenge these wonderful disciples of mine? Or should I let you walk away unharmed?”

”There’s no need for such pointless drivel.”

Ye Chen shot the Profound Mirror Celestial Master a cool glance. ”You won’t let me leave. I have something you desperately want.”

Hearing this, the Profound Mirror Celestial Master was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the other party to be so casual and dismissive.

But he didn’t take it to heart, instead laughing heartily. ”Clever boy.”

”In that case, hand over the Creation Sacred Flame.”

”Oh, and the Ancient God Order.”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master added, ”That was originally mine. After that traitorous disciple stole it, he still hasn’t managed to gather a second Ancient God Order after all these years. I’m truly disappointed.”

”Hand it over?”

Ye Chen smiled. ”Why don’t you give me the Three Treasures of Profound Mirror first? Then I’ll consider whether or not I’ll hand over the Creation Sacred Flame and the Ancient God Order.”

”Hm?”

”Boy, are you trying to negotiate with me?”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master raised an eyebrow.

”What else would this be?”

”From what I gather, the Three Treasures of Profound Mirror, even combined, aren’t as valuable as a single Ancient God Order, right? My proposal isn’t exactly unreasonable, don’t you think?”

Ye Chen said coolly.

”Heh heh...”

”I didn’t think you’d actually dare to haggle with me...”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master smiled, but his smile clearly held a trace of sinister viciousness.

He stepped out of the spatial turbulence and, with a backhanded motion, severed Tan Jingyu’s four limbs, displaying his peerless combat strength.

He had thought this would frighten the young man before him, but that was not the case.

Not only was there not a trace of fear on the other’s face, but he looked ready to stand up to him as an equal.

”It seems I’ve been sealed away for too long. The Black Triangle hasn’t tasted my wrath in ages.”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master sighed, looking up at the sky.

Just then, his expression suddenly changed.

”Hm?”

”Are some little rats trying to escape?”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master’s eyes glinted, and then he chuckled nonchalantly. ”Well, no matter. It seems my preparations these past few days were not in vain.”

”What... what did you prepare?” Tan Jingyu asked in terror.

”My good disciple, just you wait and see. Why the rush?”

The Profound Mirror Celestial Master unhurriedly raised a hand, his fair fingers tapping lightly on the empty space before him.

In an instant, the void rippled like the surface of disturbed water, sending out concentric circles.

”Array, rise!”

As the Profound Mirror Celestial Master’s voice fell, the entire Black Triangle began to shake!

The ground burst open, and countless thick, chain-like streams of demonic energy shot out from below, spreading in all directions.

Seeing this, Tan Jingyu’s pupils contracted.

That demonic energy originated from the Profound Mirror Celestial Master’s sealing ground!

The demonic energy blotted out the sky, radiating a heart-stopping aura as it covered the entirety of the Black Triangle in the blink of an eye.

”Demonic energy...”

’He really is a demonic cultivator?’

Ye Chen’s gaze hardened.

”Wait... what’s happening?”

”No... don’t! Help me...!”

”...”

The entirety of Xuanwu City shook violently as the earth quaked and mountains toppled. The city collapsed on all sides, descending into a scene straight out of hell.

The demonic energy ran rampant, piercing through Cultivators one by one, draining them of their flesh and blood, and transforming it into a stream of pure power that flowed back into the Profound Mirror Celestial Master.

At this moment, the Profound Mirror Celestial Master was like a Demon Lord of Chaos who controlled the entire Black Triangle.

He acted without restraint, plunging the entire Black Triangle into a bloodbath!

...

At the edge of the Black Triangle, countless streams of demonic energy surged, forming an unbroken barrier that blocked the way forward.

The group from the Black Tiger Tribe came to a sudden halt. Their leader, Clan Leader Han Yunxuan, frowned deeply, his heart sinking.

”This is the aura of a demonic Forbidden Array...”

”It seems we were a step too late, after all!”

”Clan Leader, what on earth is happening?” the others asked, their voices filled with shock and uncertainty.
