Leaving ”Sealing Demon Cliff,” Ye Tianchen learned more secrets, understanding things no ordinary person could know. From the Late Ancient Times to the Ancient Early Stage, this period witnessed the only great era of cultivation in the martial arts world over billions of years. Only in that era did clans of all kinds rise, with countless heroes and talents. Only in that time did the debates among various schools emerge, and powerful legacies were displayed. Many heaven-defying sons created unprecedented martial arts divine skills, leaving cultivation scriptures born from their insights. Only in this era, the unique great era of cultivation, were the rules of this martial arts world broken, with many Emperor Realm figures emerging, and even beings stronger than the Emperor Realm appeared. It was an unimaginable great era, a true great era. Besides, in the subsequent years, only once every several million years might a peerless Emperor Realm figure emerge. This emperor would merge with the laws of this martial arts world, becoming invincible across the universe. Before this emperor’s ascension, or even tens of thousands of years after, no new emperor could be born because the ascended emperor’s laws continued to influence this world. This is the harshness of this martial arts world, suppressing some heaven-defying martial artists. No matter how talented and heaven-defying you are, you can only end in obscurity, turning to dust.

Ye Tianchen utilized Qi Manipulation Flight, heading towards Desolate Stone Village while Master Fang Yi had already returned to Shaolin. Along the way, Ye Tianchen pondered how he should choose his future path, what he should do, and how he should define himself. The more he knew, the more troubled he felt, overwhelmed by pressure and confusion, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen stopped, standing in mid-air with a small forest below. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he clenched his fist, thinking to himself: ”When did I, Ye Tianchen, become so hesitant? I will be myself. No matter what the future holds or how formidable my adversaries might be, nothing should shake my indomitable Taoist heart or prevent my steps towards the Martial Arts Peak!”

After saying such words to himself, Ye Tianchen revitalized his spirit, no longer lost in confusion, and refrained from worrying about things that hadn’t occurred. Such thoughts only lead to living in anxiety and exhaustion. Maintaining a strong heart and an unbreakable belief is what’s most important.

Swish!

A golden light attacked, a force of fist, a golden fist glow, coming from afar to strike at Ye Tianchen. Facing this incoming fist force, Ye Tianchen remained composed. Having learned many earth-shattering things and faced peerless figures of the Emperor Realm, what kind of powerful existence could easily move Ye Tianchen now? Very few, perhaps only those above the Emperor Realm, could truly shock him!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen swung his right fist, casting a golden fist glow. He didn’t know how formidable the enemy was, nor how strong they were. This incoming golden fist force seemed strong, yet it certainly wasn’t the assailant’s full strength. No one would be foolish enough to use full power against an opponent right away, as it would make them passive in the subsequent battle. Without knowing the enemy’s full strength, conserving one’s own is the wiser choice. Thus, Ye Tianchen also used the ”Vajra Divine Fist” at the Small Success Realm to clash with the incoming fist glow.

Boom!

A loud blast erupted in the sky as the two golden fist glows collided and shattered into pieces, scattering Martial Arts True Qi. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown; the sudden assailant’s fist force wasn’t weak, and his Vajra Divine Fist at the Small Success Realm seemed to be at a slight disadvantage.

Swoosh!

A figure rushed from afar to stand in front of Ye Tianchen, hovering with an arrogant and disdainful gaze, impatiently asking: ”Are you Ye Tianchen?”

Ye Tianchen wasn’t to be trifled with either; he didn’t know the background of this sudden assailant, yet he wanted to find out. Calmly, he replied, ”When wanting to know someone else’s name, you should introduce yourself first; that’s the rule of the martial arts world, don’t you know?”

”Hmm? Is there such a rule in the martial arts world? How come I didn’t know?” The haughty middle-aged man who attacked Ye Tianchen frowned as he asked.

”This is my rule!” Ye Tianchen said coldly.

”You... have quite the nerve. Then let me make sure you die knowing, I am the seventh son of the family head of the Jin family, brother of Golden Strange Cloud. Even if you die, remember my name, I am Huang Jinkuang...”

Unexpectedly, the seventh son sent by the Jin family head, Huang Jinwudao, Huang Jinkuang, found Ye Tianchen so quickly. He was overwhelming and arrogant, even more so than Golden Strange Cloud. As he mentioned his name, Huang Jinkuang stepped towards Ye Tianchen, wanting to crush him underfoot alive. This was an act of slaughter as well as an insult.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen was not anyone to be trifled with, bold and straightforward, acknowledging reason over relationships. If you intend to kill me, I will kill you—that was his character. With this in mind, he struck out with a palm, blocking Huang Jinkuang’s foot. The two of them stood in midair, legs and hands locked in opposition, neither yielding an inch.

”Huang Jinkuang should have Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation, in terms of strength and cultivation, he’s likely even above Golden Strange Cloud. I must not be careless!” Ye Tianchen thought to himself after blocking Huang Jinkuang’s foot with one palm strike.

At this moment, Huang Jinkuang, who had just clashed with Ye Tianchen, was also surprised. He did not expect Ye Tianchen to be so formidable. He originally thought that the reason his eighth brother, Golden Strange Cloud, got killed by Ye Tianchen was because, on Cangmang Mountain, Golden Strange Cloud didn’t know his limits and fought All Heavens’ proud sons, depleting his Martial Arts True Qi and reducing his combat power cultivation, which allowed Ye Tianchen to take a great advantage. But now it seems that’s not the case—Ye Tianchen is indeed quite powerful, unfathomably so, with the true strength to take down his eighth brother, Golden Strange Cloud. This time, on his father’s orders, he not only must kill Ye Tianchen, but also make Jin family’s reputation resound across the three Ancient Martial Worlds, to let everyone know how formidable the Jin family is, and that they absolutely cannot be provoked. Therefore, when it comes to killing Ye Tianchen, one must be strategic, which means making a big fuss, ideally killing Ye Tianchen in front of many martial artists, making him beg for mercy on his knees before obliterating him both in spirit and form.

In his assault, Huang Jinkuang, with his power, made Ye Tianchen feel that the Jin family’s might indeed had a basis, truly a long-standing and powerful family desiring continued dominance. Yet, it also made Ye Tianchen feel something eerie about the situation, forcing him to think more deeply. Earth had long become unsuitable for cultivation. According to common sense, it should have been on a path to obliteration in the ensuing years when the great formations of the three Ancient Martial Worlds gradually disintegrate and all remaining spiritual energy disperses, leaving Earth completely devoid of martial artists. That is the trajectory one would expect.

However, more and more great powers emerge, more sons of heaven compete, more mysteries of Earth come to light—each more violent than the last. Why is this? Could it truly be another great era of cultivation in the Martial Arts World is upon us? One can’t help but ponder this, otherwise how could there be so many sons of heaven emerging? This is like a reenactment of the cultivation great days of the Late Ancient Times to Ancient Early Stage millions of years ago, a re-emergence of that golden era of cultivation or its tragedy.

The arrival of the great era of cultivation brings both glory and tragedy, birthing countless sons of heaven and falling countless heaven-defying strong men. It will be a Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, white bones piled high, with only one person able to sit on the throne above the heavenly vault. Who will that person be, the one seated in control, ruling over all beings? In the great era of cultivation billions of years ago, so many powerful beings and great inheritances arose, with over a dozen figures reaching the Emperor Realm. What an epoch-defying era that was! That era came to a close with the intervention of the Overlord Immortal King, who subdued all strong men, becoming the strongest, world-altering ruler. In this era, Ye Tianchen’s era, if it truly is another great era of cultivation, who will become the strongest, who will be the second ”Overlord Immortal King”?

”Hmph, I didn’t expect you to have some skill, but let me crush you underfoot and have you shattered together with the ground beneath me!” Huang Jinkuang snorted coldly, increasing the Martial Arts True Qi in his foot, shaking the entire sky, intending to grind Ye Tianchen to pieces beneath his sole.

”I’m afraid your foot isn’t hard enough, far inferior to my fist...” Ye Tianchen’s right hand changed from palm to fist, squeezing tightly, unleashing an unmatched burst of Martial Arts True Qi, smashing towards Huang Jinkuang’s foot.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen’s foot sank ten meters below but steadied himself, while Huang Jinkuang was compelled to withdraw his foot, looking at Ye Tianchen with surprise, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
