Although the two elders from the Songshan Sect brought by Bei Wei had lived for nearly a thousand years, their cultivation had been stagnant at the Late-stage Martial Venerate. Even at the peak of the Late Martial Venerate stage, there was still a significant gap compared to Ye Tianchen, who had already reached the Martial Saint Realm, a truly strong martial artist.

In martial arts cultivation, a difference in cultivation level makes a world of difference in power. The higher one goes, the more difficult it is to break through cultivation levels, and the more severe the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation becomes. Hence, many martial artists are stuck at one cultivation level their entire lives, unable to move forward. Such martial artists are numerous, and among them are talents and geniuses. Some lack enlightenment, while others lack perseverance. In short, breaking through a cultivation level is very difficult. Few dare to face the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation and pass through multiple tribulations like Ye Tianchen. Such individuals are rare throughout the eons of the Martial Arts World.

With just one punch, Ye Tianchen made the two old guys from the Songshan Sect vomit blood, making them exclaim in disbelief. They never expected that Ye Tianchen had reached the Martial Saint stage. These two old entities were elders of the Songshan Sect and had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, remaining at the peak of the Late Martial Venerate stage, unable to break through. Now, facing Ye Tianchen, who had reached the Martial Saint Realm, they felt powerless. This young martial artist in his twenties had far surpassed both their past and their present selves.

”What? Martial Saint Realm? This...” Bei Wei was even more pale hearing his Songshan elder’s words. He could hardly believe it. In just a few months, Ye Tianchen had broken through from the Mid Martial Venerate stage to the Martial Saint stage. Such a leap between these two stages typically takes hundreds of years, even for those with great talent and understanding. Could Ye Tianchen have really achieved this in just a few months?

Swoosh!

Without a word, Ye Tianchen knew there was no time to waste. Since Bei Lengshi of the Songshan Sect sent Bei Wei to obstruct them, the powerful Blood Killing Organization and Nine Netherworld would easily track them down. He needed to end this quickly and eliminate Bei Wei and the two Songshan elders to safely escort the villagers of Desolate Stone Village to the foot of the Shaolin Temple.

Ye Tianchen waved his hand as he sat cross-legged below the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” which shot forward in an instant. The Chaos Qi within surged out, bringing tremendous might down upon the two old guys of the Songshan Sect.

Bei Wei retreated quickly, legs trembling with fear. He never imagined that Ye Tianchen hadn’t perished with the Five Poison Sect and that, after disappearing for nearly three months, he would return alive, now at the Martial Saint Realm, far beyond his ability to contend. It wasn’t just him; even the two elder-level experts from the Songshan Sect were about to be reduced to dust, so thoughts of escape filled his mind. He needed the right moment, or Ye Tianchen’s current cultivation level would catch up in a breath, leaving him defenseless and at Ye Tianchen’s mercy.

”Elders, we cannot just sit back and die. We must fight Ye Tianchen, this little bastard, to the death.” Bei Wei shouted, seeing the two Songshan elders seemingly intimidated by the overwhelming power from the ”Holy Heaven Prison” as well.

The two Songshan elders, shaken by Bei Wei’s words, exchanged glances before nodding. They had been in seclusion for hundreds of years and were near the end of their lives. Even if they had a few more years left, it didn’t mean much. Now, faced with the unstoppable Ye Tianchen, however, they were resolved to fight to the death.

”You little brat, even if we die, we’ll drag you down with us.”

”If we can drag you down, we’ve lived enough!”

The two old men shouted together, their hands striking towards each other. It wasn’t clear what kind of Martial Arts Divine Skill they intended to use, but when their palms collided, a white light flashed, and they died. Yet, their final Martial Arts True Power merged, transforming into an enormous, earth-shattering sword light, slashing towards the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” attempting to cleave Ye Tianchen and it in half.

Unexpectedly, Bei Wei made his move, not attacking Ye Tianchen or ambushing Tianshuang and the others, but turning and desperately fleeing toward the Songshan Sect. He shamelessly chose to flee, his previous arrogance vanishing instantly. Terrified by Ye Tianchen, he had not even the courage for a fight anymore.

Boom!

The Holy Heaven Prison, carrying Chaos Qi, descended, brutally suppressing and shock killing the two old fellows of the Songshan Sect. It wasn’t that they weren’t strong enough, but Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm surpassed theirs. With a treasure like the ”Holy Heaven Prison” in hand, a battle with Ye Tianchen wouldn’t be easy.

”Damn it, boss, that bastard Bei Wei has run away, we can’t let that son of a bitch escape...” Hu Gao said as he prepared to chase and kill Bei Wei.

”No need, he won’t escape...”

As soon as Ye Tianchen’s words fell, a beam of light shot out from the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” moving so fast it was invisible to the naked eye, swiftly darting towards the direction Bei Wei was fleeing.

”Ah!”

A miserable scream echoed in the distance, and with a gesture of Ye Tianchen’s right hand, Bei Wei’s head appeared in his hand, his face a deathly pale, having fainted from fright. At Bei Wei’s current cultivation realm, he was utterly incapable of contending with Ye Tianchen. Witnessing Ye Tianchen’s Martial Arts Divine Power, Hu Gao and Dongfang Meng both smiled, as this was undoubtedly good news for them. The stronger Ye Tianchen became, the less they would fear evil forces, and the safer the villagers of Desolate Stone Village would be.

”Let’s go, I will first escort you to the foot of the Shaolin Temple, then proceed to the Songshan Sect...” Ye Tianchen said.

Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and the two child disciples from the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, performed Qi Manipulation Flight at the forefront, while Hu Gao activated his Jade Rope, escorting the villagers of Desolate Stone Village behind. As for Ye Tianchen, with the ”Holy Heaven Prison” suspended overhead, strands of Chaos Qi falling down, ready to strike strong enemies at any moment. He moved at the top, vigilantly observing all directions like an overlord, instilling fear in those who perceived him.

Two hours later, Ye Tianchen led everyone safely to the foot of the Shaolin Temple. There, the old monks of the Shaolin Temple, along with two young monks, were already waiting. They had used their Martial Arts Divine Power to carve out a place for the villagers of Desolate Stone Village to live, which made Ye Tianchen very grateful. Everyone had been busy for the entire day, and even Ye Tianchen hadn’t rested—though he was a martial artist and perhaps needed nothing, the villagers of Desolate Stone Village were ordinary people, requiring provisions and safety measures to be established. Ye Tianchen busied himself too, and only after protecting the new settlement of Desolate Stone Village with the powerful ”Four Phases Golden Body Formation” did he breathe a sigh of relief.

As everyone drifted into a deep, blissful sleep after a long day of exhaustion, Ye Tianchen appeared at the village entrance of Desolate Stone Village. He was ready to act, to head to the Songshan Sect. Although the Blood Killing Organization and Nine Netherworld were powerful and held an endless grudge with him, they wouldn’t be constantly hunting him down. The simple reason for this was that these two evil legacies had more important things to do, and still did not consider him, Ye Tianchen, as worthy of attention.

”Woof, woof, woof...” Just as Ye Tianchen was about to use his Divine Movement Skill to head to the Songshan Sect, he heard a dog barking from behind. He turned around, looking at the little yellow dog running towards him, smiling as he said, ”What is it? You know I’m leaving, huh? You’re quite spiritual!”

”Woof, woof!” The little yellow dog barked twice more at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen suddenly recalled something, summoning with his right hand a very old piece of beast skin cloth which appeared in his palm. This beast skin cloth was obtained from the Cold Pond back when the Ice and Fire Dragon charged towards the Sun Never Sets Mountain. At that time, Ye Tianchen was about to leave, and Hu Gao mentioned that there were still some things left by the Ice and Fire Dragon in the depths of the Cold Pond that might be useful. Ye Tianchen re-entered the depths of the Cold Pond and found a broken Dragon Horn of the Ice and Fire Dragon, while the other item he found was a cultivation treasure of the Demon Clan, which was this piece of beast skin cloth in his hand.

”I’ll just give this to you then. I don’t understand the cultivation method of your Demon Clan. If you can comprehend it thoroughly, you might even become a Demon Emperor someday!” Ye Tianchen said, smiling as he patted the little yellow dog’s head.

Watching the little yellow dog run off with the beast skin cloth in its mouth, Ye Tianchen turned to look in the direction of the Songshan Sect, killing intent flickering in his eyes as he thought: I’ve been missing for over three months, and many assume I’ve perished along with the Five Poison Sect, thinking that I, Ye Tianchen, am utterly destroyed. Those who bear grudges against me and the forces that harbor enmity will target those associated with me. It’s time to let them know that I’m still alive and to give them a big surprise!
