An overwhelming killing intent came sweeping in, making Ye Tianchen involuntarily frown, his body emitting golden light. This was the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill” he comprehended from the Yijin Jing, an Absolute Skill which, once mastered, granted an incredibly sturdy physique. Relying solely on his physical strength, he could easily overpower fellow cultivators of his level—there was absolutely no doubt about it.

In terms of combat prowess, the man in black robes wouldn’t be inferior to Ye Tianchen, but in a contest of physical strength, he was no match for Ye Tianchen. After letting out a thunderous roar, numerous strands of killing intent burst forth from the man’s body, like swords piercing through the heavens and earth, creating a terrifying sight.

”What tremendous killing intent!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

”The Blood Killing Organization exists solely to slaughter powerful individuals. They possess countless Slaughter Skills. It’s not just you who should be wary of them—even the great Ancient Martial Sects wouldn’t dare to provoke them recklessly. You really are courting death!” The man in black robes looked at Ye Tianchen and shouted coldly.

”Is the Sword of Killing Intent the same as Sha Wuji’s Life-stealing Divine Thought Kill?” Ye Tianchen asked indifferently.

”Sha Wuji? I’ve already told you, he’s merely the last of the ten seed contestants. My combat power is far greater than his. You were able to kill him, but you definitely won’t be able to kill me!” the man in the black robes said confidently, full of conviction.

Boom!

Multiple strands of killing intent erupted from the man in black robes and gradually transformed into a black tripod, bearing down on Ye Tianchen. The colossal and terrifying Martial Arts Power emanating from it was enough to send chills down one’s spine. Ye Tianchen didn’t dare to take it head-on and, with a flicker, he disappeared from his spot, darting rapidly through the air. If not for the formidable Divine Movement Skill, he would likely have been unable to escape the Shock Kill from the black Killing Intent Tripod.

Seeing the man in black robes unleashing such formidable Slaughter Skills, Dongfang Meng feared Ye Tianchen might not hold up and immediately wanted to rush to his aid, only to be stopped by Tianshuang.

”If his Cultivation Battle Power is not enough to handle this, all three of us will die here. By rushing in now, you’d only distract him and be of no help!” Tianshuang insisted, her gaze fixed on the battle above them.

”The Blood Killing Organization’s heritage is indeed profound. No wonder even the long-standing Ancient Martial Sects don’t dare to provoke them lightly ...” Dongfang Meng clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to calm down as she spoke.

”This is an organization infamous for their mastery in killing. All their Absolute Skills are designed to take lives, to utterly destroy body and soul, to scatter one’s spirit, extraordinarily powerful. Otherwise, a master like Senior Qing Song wouldn’t have met a tragic death at the edge of the Nameless Cliff, leaving behind his unwilling roar!” Tianshuang frowned as she spoke.

Thud!

The black Killing Intent Tripod bore down, and the earth quaked. With no way to dodge, Ye Tianchen was forced to rely on the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill,” using his body to forcefully confront the pressing tripod. In an instant, blood flowed from his arms, spilling onto the golden light, creating a dazzling sight. His eyes coldly fixed on the tripod above, Ye Tianchen was extremely surprised. He hadn’t anticipated the Blood Killing Organization’s foundation to be so formidable. The killing intent that surged out of the man’s body had coalesced into a black Killing Intent Tripod. When his hands touched it, he felt as if he would be crushed to ashes. If not for the protection from the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill,” he would surely have been reduced to mush. This made him take the man in the black robes, and the Blood Killing Organization they belonged to, even more seriously.

”You can actually withstand the Killing Intent Tripod? It seems the Absolute Skills from the Yijin Jing truly have divine powers. Although my Killing Intent Tripod is not a physical object, it is condensed from powerful killing thoughts. No one has ever dared to confront it directly. Even if you die, you can have no regrets!” the man in the black robes spoke earnestly.

”Is that all you’ve got? Bring out all your moves, and I will break them one by one!” Ye Tianchen said in a deep voice.

”Hmph, choosing death and not even picking a good day for it!”

The man in black robes flashed away, unexpectedly landing atop the black Killing Intent Tripod. He stomped down heavily, intending to crush Ye Tianchen alive into a pulp. In an instant, Ye Tianchen plummeted rapidly towards the ground, his descent so swift it was as if a meteor had smashed into the earth.

Thud!

A thunderous crash stunned everyone, and both Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang were left in shock. They hadn’t expected the man in black to suddenly display such tremendous fighting strength. The black Killing Intent Tripod, bursting forth from his body, was like a behemoth from an ancient era, barreling down on Ye Tianchen. Before Ye Tianchen even had a chance to retaliate, he was suppressed against the ground.

After the colossal sound, it was as though an earthquake had occurred. If it weren’t for the supreme Formation sealing the Ancient Martial World, the land might truly have been struck by a quake. Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang had no choice but to take to the skies, gazing down at the black Tripod that stretched tens of meters wide and hundreds of meters high. They were both taken aback, as it was clear from the profound boom that this Tripod, forged from mighty killing intent, must weigh countless tons, far beyond human capacity to contend with.

”With such paltry battle power, you dare to confront me. You do not know the meaning of death!” the man in black robes declared coldly from atop the black Tripod.

Smack!

A palm strike surged towards the figure in the black robe, who furrowed his brows and threw a punch, scattering the palm strike and coldly said to Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang, ”Lovely ladies, no need to rush; I’ll come to kill you shortly!”

”Release Ye Tianchen!” Tianshuang said in a deep voice.

”Let him out!” Dongfang Meng also said anxiously.

”I truly envy that kid, having two beauties from the Ancient Martial Sect concerned about him. Too bad he’s already dead. He has been shredded to pieces by the killing intent in the tripod, a sight too gruesome to endure. Do you really want to see it?” the man in the black robe mockingly asked with a strange laugh.

”The killing intent in the tripod?” Dongfang Meng was startled.

”Indeed, did you really think this black tripod was formed merely from my boundless killing intent? You are mistaken. The killing intent inside the tripod is a million times stronger, instantly turning to ash anyone suppressed within it,” the man in the black robe said, laughing proudly.

”Is that... the rumored Extinction Demon Cauldron?” Tianshuang suddenly exclaimed, looking at the gigantic tripod hundreds of meters tall on the ground, unable to refrain from asking.

The man in the black robe glanced at Tianshuang, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips. He said with poise and composure, ”People from the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect are truly remarkable. No wonder the Ancestor of our sect once said that if we could join forces with your sect, the whole Ancient Martial World would be under our control. Yes, this is the Extinction Demon Cauldron, one of the forbidden artifacts passed down from ancient times. Of course, this is not the genuine Extinction Demon Cauldron—if it were the real forbidden artifact, destroying the entire Ancient Martial World would be nothing. I had merely seen the real Extinction Demon Cauldron and gained some insights from it.”

”You... You’ve seen the real Extinction Demon Cauldron?” Dongfang Meng asked in astonishment.

”Since you are all going to die, I will tell you a secret. The real Extinction Demon Cauldron is within our Blood Killing Organization. One day, we will use it to rule over the entire Ancient Martial World!” The man in the black robe, fully convinced of Ye Tianchen’s death and that Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang could not possibly be his match, spoke arrogantly and unguardedly.

Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang were truly shocked. For people like them, who grew up in Ancient Martial Sects, they obviously knew much more than Ye Tianchen. The story of the Extinction Demon Cauldron, one of the few legendary forbidden artifacts, was truly terrifying. The man in the black robe did not overstate; if anything, he had played it down. The genuine forbidden artifact, if used, could destroy not just the Ancient Martial World, but even the entire Earth without exaggeration.

”Did the Blood Killing Organization really obtain a piece of the Ancient Transmission Array?” Tianshuang asked, seizing the opportunity.

”I don’t know, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you. You think you can get more information about the Blood Killing Organization out of me while I’m basking in my triumph? How naive!” the man in the black robe sneered coldly at Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng.

”If that’s the case, then you can go to die!”

Suddenly, from within the black Sword of Killing Intent, Ye Tianchen’s voice echoed. The man in the black robe was shocked out of his wits, no longer able to maintain his composure. He never dreamed that Ye Tianchen, who he trapped within the Sword of Killing Intent, could still be alive. How was that possible? Although this Sword of Killing Intent wasn’t the actual Extinction Demon Cauldron, it was a creation formed from watching the real one during three days and nights of meditation, after he became one of the ten seed assassins trained by the Blood Killing Organization. He fueled it with his own Origin essence, channeling all his killing intent into it, forming a shape similar to the Extinction Demon Cauldron, crushing downwards. This weapon, though not as powerful as a true Slaughter Skill, was strong enough to destroy everything. The idea of Ye Tianchen surviving under it for so long was unimaginable.

Boom!

The man in the black robe only felt an explosion underneath his feet, and he quickly backed away from the black Sword of Killing Intent, as his own summoned Demon Cauldron have fractured. A figure, radiating golden light all over, burst out, throwing punches that glinted with golden light. Intricate golden runes revolved on his fists as he threw a punch directly at him.

Thump!

The man in the black robe was sent flying, spewing out blood. Although the blow might not threaten his life, he watched Ye Tianchen with stunned disbelief. His own strength was not inferior to Ye Tianchen’s; it was only his physical form that was lesser. How had his own battle power suddenly become so much weaker than Ye Tianchen’s? He could not accept or believe this.

”I don’t believe it, I won’t accept this...” the man in the black robe howled to the sky, glaring at Ye Tianchen with ferocious eyes, as if he wished to devour him alive.

”I told you, your will to fight has been shattered, and you’ve lost,” Ye Tianchen strode forward confidently, surrounded by the circulating golden runes, truly looking like an invincible War God at that moment, unstoppable in his path—be it against man or Buddha!
