Bei Lengshi was defeated. Despite having refined the ”Shocking God Whip,” a mysterious and powerful treasure, and paying a heavy price by sacrificing his head to integrate with the ”Shocking God Whip,” exerting half of its power, he still couldn’t overcome Ye Tianchen, who was in the Martial Saint Realm. The fall in cultivation realm became the main reason for Bei Lengshi’s defeat.

Ye Tianchen not only possessed extraordinary talent and indomitable willpower, but also had the ability to analyze the Martial Arts Divine Skills of strong enemies during battle, which astonished Bei Lengshi. After seeing through Bei Lengshi’s Martial Arts Divine Skills, Ye Tianchen quickly wielded the Taie Sword, cutting off the connection between Bei Lengshi and the Shocking God Whip, preventing Bei Lengshi from further harnessing its daunting power.

Roaring and snarling menacingly, Bei Lengshi never expected to be defeated, nor so swiftly. Previously, he had roamed the three major Ancient Martial Worlds. With his talent and understanding, which weren’t low, reaching today’s status and strength spoke of his capabilities. Yet, he was defeated by a Ye Tianchen, who was just in his twenties. This age might not be deemed young for an ordinary person, but for Martial Artists who could easily live for hundreds of years, it was undeniably youthful. Achieving such a cultivation realm at this age left Bei Lengshi not only astonished but also finding only one word - ”demon” - to describe it.

”Afraid now? Feeling fear yet? In the stone chamber below are dozens of elders from the Songshan Sect, each at least in the Early-stage Martial Saint Realm. Any one of them rushing out would be enough to shake the Ancient Martial World, and you’re just at the Early-stage Martial Saint Realm. No matter how strong you are, you might handle one of them, perhaps two or three at the same cultivation realm due to your unique talent. But if all these elders charge out together, you’d be left without a trace...” Bei Lengshi shouted with laughter.

Cold sweat appeared on Ye Tianchen’s forehead; his powerful Divine Thought indeed sensed that what Bei Lengshi said wasn’t mere intimidation. Below him, in the underground stone chamber of the Songshan Sect, dormant were dozens of powerful forces. These forces, at a minimum, felt like the Martial Saint Realm to Ye Tianchen, and it was likely that among them were top experts of the Mid-stage Martial Saint Realm, or even Late Stage Martial Saint Realm. It’s known that some old veterans, in pursuit of reducing their essence energy consumption to a minimum during their closed-door meditation, might have been already at the Early-stage Martial Saint Realm. Over the years, it’s not impossible for some to reach the Mid-stage and Late Stage realms.

That there were dozens of strong men of the Martial Saint Realm beneath the Songshan Sect truly left Ye Tianchen surprised; the thought was unfathomable. Perhaps the Songshan Sect’s legacy was not as ancient as the Five Poison Sect, and it did not have an elder in the Mid-stage Martial Saint Realm like Du Mie, but these Martial Saint veterans were formidable. Each one was nearing the end of their life. If they charged out, it would almost be a certain death for Ye Tianchen. To someone aware of their own inevitable death, any crazy deed is feasible. Their emergence would likely lead to self-destruction to eliminate Ye Tianchen, which poses extreme danger to him. This legacy seems even mightier than the Five Poison Sect’s.

”If the Songshan Sect truly harbors such depths, even if I must be obliterated today, I will stop them. Let these old fellows come out, and I shall eradicate them all!” Ye Tianchen’s eyes transformed, exuding an immensely powerful aura. He was not jesting nor was he being arrogant; he truly meant it.

The feud between Ye Tianchen and the Songshan Sect had now left no room for negotiation; it was unavoidably a fight to the death. If these dozens of Martial Saint elders rushed out, not only would he be in danger, but so would his friends and family, possibly even individuals throughout the Ancient Martial and Mortal Worlds. These veterans all aim to live a few extra years. For that, they’re willing to seclude themselves while their cultivation battle power is at its peak, lying dormant for centuries. Why? Simply due to their fear of death, their reluctance to accept transformation and soul obliteration. So, when true death approaches, or when they realize their inevitable demise, any action could be taken, including dragging others down with them. Of course, unsettled grudges are bound to be resolved. He, Ye Tianchen, having destroyed the Songshan Sect to such a state, has surely severed its legacy, thus being the prime target for vengeance. What he had to do was, at all costs, eradicate this group of elders first.

”Arrogant and ignorant of the vast sky and earth, do you really think of yourself as an invincible overlord? While you might indeed be a prodigy, far surpassing others in talent, comprehension, persistence, and determination, still... you shouldn’t have become an enemy of our Songshan Sect. Your grave will certainly be here...”

Bei Lengshi had gone mad. He had only his head left, without using any Martial Arts Divine Skill or attempting to rebuild his body. Instead, he charged towards the stone chamber below, alarming Ye Tianchen. What was Bei Lengshi attempting? To break through the stone chamber door with his head and once again use blood sacrifice to release the dozens of powerful old beings from the Songshan Sect?

Bang!

Bei Lengshi’s head shattered, brain matter splattered, blood covered the stone chamber door. It was a type of underground entrance, facing upward. When Bei Lengshi’s head collided with it, dying in obliteration, the stone chamber door seemed activated, and a ray of light slashed towards Ye Tianchen.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen was sent flying, using the power of the ”Holy Heaven Prison” to block that Slaughter Aura, yet still being thrown tens of thousands of meters away. Ye Tianchen was taken aback, his hands continuously channeling Martial Arts True Power to repair the thousand wounds of the ”Holy Heaven Prison”. He now needed a peak state, needed a peak combat power within his realm. Otherwise, how could he possibly resist dozens of old Martial Saints?

When Ye Tianchen maneuvered the ”Holy Heaven Prison” above the stone chamber gate of the Songshan Sect, he couldn’t help but frown. He finally understood why Bei Lengshi would ram his head against the stone chamber gate. It wasn’t that he sought death or wished to obliterate his form and soul, but without taking such action, it would be difficult to open the gate.

On the stone chamber gate beneath the Songshan Sect’s underground, there was an invisible formation. The formation was extremely strong and durable, and if not addressed with a blood sacrifice and the power of the soul, it would be hard to unravel. This kind of formation is well-known in the Martial Arts World, yet rarely used because it exacts a heavy price on those who open it. It’s nearly a path of nine deaths and one life.

Clearly, the person who established the Songshan Sect’s underground stone chamber was prepared long ago, also a ruthless character. Not until the sect faces life-and-death will the Songshan Sect’s foundation be exposed to the public, and the old folks secluded inside were all ready to sit in meditation here indefinitely. Only the sect leader from each generation knows how to open the chamber. If the sect leader is assassinated or dies in battle before managing to open the stone chamber, the underground chamber will be sealed permanently. Those inside will have to awaken themselves to ever have a chance to exit. Indeed, it’s a cruel burial of the sect’s essence.

Buzz!

The stone chamber door trembled, emitting a beam of light from within. This light carried an overwhelming aura of death, like the wronged souls imprisoned inside rushing out. The eerie and sinister aura made Ye Tianchen’s scalp tingle; he knew these old folks from the Songshan Sect were about to come out. He must fight with all his might, though he has a hidden trump card, yet it remains uncertain whether he can obliterate dozens of old Martial Saints in one move.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

There was no suspense, no surprise, dozens of forces charged toward Ye Tianchen relentlessly. Although Ye Tianchen was startled, he did not retreat a step. He possessed strong willpower, an unbeatable Taoist heart; even if it meant obliteration of form and soul, even if death could not deter him.

Boom!

The Holy Heaven Prison took action, blocking dozens of powerful Slaughter Auras. Simultaneously, Ye Tianchen soared into the sky, hands clenched into fists, letting out a roar. Spiritual energy from all directions converged toward him. He regained the stance of an Overlord this time. For the first time since becoming a Martial Saint, he was fighting across realms; at this moment, he was powerful, he had to be powerful.

Dozens of old folks secluded in the underground stone chamber of the Songshan Sect emerged, each exuding murderous intent and many exuding the aura of death. They were already close to Transformation, death was but a step away. Now released, they naturally understood what was happening and wouldn’t let Ye Tianchen, who appeared right before them, escape. Their bodies were full of raging combat power, aiming to obliterate Ye Tianchen’s form and soul, coldly looking at Ye Tianchen high in the sky, emanating a strong resolve to kill him.
