Chapter 107: Chapter 97: Slaying the Green Ox, the Mysterious Person Appears!

Boom, boom, boom—

Deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, unbeknownst to all, a fierce battle was unfolding, thunderous booms echoing through the empty valley like the rumbling of spring thunder, relentless in their assault on the ears.

Ye Chen was locked in battle with the Octagonal Green Bull!

This was a scene beyond anyone’s imagination, for even though Ye Chen was hailed as a being with the qualifications of a divine spirit, possessing strength exceeding eighty thousand catties, he was still merely a warrior of the Innate Realm. His opponent, however, was the Octagonal Green Bull from the Martial God Realm.

Moreover, this particular Octagonal Green Bull was a Super Demon Beast that had even slain Changfeng Martial God, making it even more terrifying.

But if anyone else were to witness this scene, they would be utterly astonished, their eyes popping out in disbelief, for not only was Ye Chen not being crushed in the battle against the Octagonal Green Bull, but he was also slightly gaining the upper hand. If word of this scene were to spread, it would surely shock the world.

"Ha—"

At that moment, Ye Chen let out a light shout, his expression intense. He immediately opened up a round Blood Essence Domain around himself for protection, with rolling Blood Essence Power surging beside him, transforming into waves of Blood Essence, crashing like tempestuous waves, one layer upon another, their power awe-inspiring.

This was the True Essence Power continuously deriving new power through Blood Qi, generating Blood Essence, with the Human Origin Body Technique also in operation, ceaselessly generating a vast amount of Blood Qi.

He wielded a Demon Bone Spear in battle, with Human Origin Power circulating through it, attached to the spear, emitting a terrifyingly oppressive aura.

At this moment, Ye Chen was like an Ancient War God reincarnate, fighting on earthly battlefields, engaging in fierce combat with the Octagonal Green Bull.

He stepped forward boldly, waving his spear and engaging in direct combat, not only aiming to kill the Octagonal Green Bull but also to test his own combat strength.

Boom—

The two clashed directly, causing a terrifying wave of air explosions, flattening large areas of forest to the ground and causing the earth to continuously crack.

During the battle, Ye Chen fought skillfully, continuously executing powerful Innate Martial Techniques, all high-level and top-notch, derived from memories of his past life. Now, he performed them smoothly and freely, unleashing formidable power that swept across the valley, shattering the ground and shaking the mountains.

The Octagonal Green Bull roared in rage, and although its opponent’s attacks could hardly inflict truly fatal damage, it was horrified to find itself gradually being overpowered.

During the fight, it kept retreating as the other pressed forward step by step, nearly backing it into a corner.

Moreover, more importantly, one of the eight horns on its head had been chopped off, a great disgrace.

For the Octagonal Green Bull, these eight green horns were more important than life itself. The last time was Anyang Martial God, and that was tolerable since it was indeed a Martial God. But this time, it was merely a youth, an utter humiliation.

This left it incredibly astonished and enraged, as it was just a youth from the Human Clan, not even a Martial God warrior, yet it was driven into such a sorry state. Although the primary reason was the severe injuries it had sustained during the battle with Changfeng Martial God, reducing its strength to barely a fraction of what it once was,

all of these were unforgivable to it, especially since the opponent was merely a little fellow from the Innate Realm.

"Little bumpkin, go die!"

The Octagonal Green Bull bellowed, calling forth a swath of Seven-colored Heavenly Earth Power at the cost of aggravating its injuries. Its six remaining horns unleashed swathes of Thunder Light, and bolts of lightning swept across, bombarding the valley with explosive forces, sending flames sky-high and tearing the land apart.

Unfortunately for it, Ye Chen, a former Supreme being of immense prowess, had mastered movement techniques to an extreme, proficient in several swift and ultimate skills.

In that moment, he performed one such movement technique called Reverse Space Eight Steps, a speed so divine it could be considered a Demigod Divine Power. However, it was attainable in the Innate Realm, and once he took the eighth step, he could achieve unmatched speed, even Martial God warriors couldn’t keep up.

Swoosh—

Ye Chen executed the Reverse Space Eight Steps, instantly moving six steps, his speed akin to lightning, almost like he morphed into a stunning streak of blood light, crossing the expanses of the sky, dodging attacks that could annihilate a regular Innate warrior with a speed that even shocked the Octagonal Green Bull.

Mountain Cave Palm!

Golden Lion Roar!

Sky Crashing Fist!

Shaking Mountain Spear!

Ye Chen surged forward, unleashing four grand Innate Top Martial Skills in one go, striking at the Octagonal Green Bull, draining virtually all the Blood Essence Power from his body, rendering it scarce.

But the power was undoubtedly shocking, with four major Innate Martial Techniques aggressively unleashed, the Octagonal Green Bull was sent flying, its abdominal wounds worsened significantly, bones were visible, and its organs were exposed along with chunks of flesh and copious blood splattering.

A series of powerful attacks from Ye Chen caused the Octagonal Green Bull to bleed profusely, and its strength depleted further, its aura becoming much more feeble.

The Octagonal Green Bull roared and continuously bellowed, and at this moment, it began to panic, unwilling to be killed like this. It bellowed for help, seeking the aid of the Beast God from the depths to save it.

But no matter how earth-shatteringly, how desperately it roared, no fluctuations were emitted from the depths nor did any Demon Beast come to aid, instilling an endless fear in it.

"How could this happen?"

The Octagonal Green Bull became terrified, and once more, Ye Chen pierced through its abdomen, exacerbating the wounds. Ye Chen retracted his long spear in the void and said faintly, "No use shouting, even if you rupture your throat, no one will hear you. This void is sealed, no one knows you’re here."

Just in case, he had asked Elder Yan to seal off the space in this region with Tongtian techniques earlier. All battles taking place here would not reach the outside world, a precaution taken by Ye Chen.

The color drained from the Octagonal Green Bull, not expecting Ye Chen to possess such shocking methods, tremblingly it asked, "Who... who exactly are you?"

"I told you, the man killing the bull!"

Ye Chen responded flatly and then speared through the Octagonal Green Bull’s head, bursting its Primordial Spirit with an eruption of Human Origin Power, utterly annihilating it.

The Octagonal Green Bull, dead!

Snap—

After killing the Octagonal Green Bull, almost at the same time, Ye Chen collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted, his breath rapidly weakening.

This battle, although seemingly dominated by him, proved extremely challenging to kill such a Martial God Realm Demon Beast, significantly draining his strength, and finally now he could relax.

He immediately sat down cross-legged, extravagantly absorbed Innate Energy from an Innate Demon Pill, rapidly regenerating some of his Primordial Energy.

In just a short moment, his spirit had greatly recovered.

Then, he approached the fallen Octagonal Green Bull, whose head had already been pierced, with its pallid brain matter spattered about, its eyes empty. A powerful Martial God Realm Demon Beast that could even kill super experts like the Changfeng Martial God, ended up dying in such an unseemly manner, killed by a young man of the Human Clan who was not even a Martial God—truly a humiliating end.

However, dying by the hands of Ye Chen, the former Supreme, was also a tremendous honor.

Ye Chen sensed briefly, located the demon core, pierced open the Octagonal Green Bull’s head with his spear, and immediately extracted a distinct Demon Core from a pile of white brain matter.

This Demon Core, the size of an adult’s fist, was several times larger than the Innate Demon Core and even emitted faint Thunder Light, a Dao comprehended by the Octagonal Green Bull.

Once one steps into the Martial God Realm, they enter another level of comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao, and the Dao of Martial God Realm Demon Beasts will also be engraved within their Demon Cores, naturally embodying the Thunder Light Power of the Octagonal Green Bull.

Holding the Demon Core, Ye Chen vividly felt the terrifying Heavenly Earth Energy enclosed within the Martial God Demon Pill, deep and vast, tremendously surpassing the Innate Demon Pill by an unknown factor.

"Martial God Demon Pill, now finally in my hands..."

Holding this cultivator from the Martial God Realm, Ye Chen was also relieved, his eyes sparkling, barely containing his excitement.

With this Martial God Demon Pill, he also gained the confidence to achieve Great Success in the Human Origin Body Technique and accomplish the Golden Body.

Swoosh—

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen collected the entire demon body of the Octagonal Green Bull into the Ancient Ring. Truly, it was the body of a Martial God Realm Demon Beast, every inch of flesh containing boundless Blood Qi, too precious to give up. Having the Ancient Ring, he naturally would not think of letting go, and for Elder Yan hidden inside the ring, it was a helpless eye roll—this young man really doesn’t treat him as an outsider.

After Ye Chen departed, a subtle fluctuation appeared in the distant void, a mysterious figure materialized in the region, watching Ye Chen’s departing figure with a face of awe: "What an extraordinary youth, at such a young age, daring to venture alone into such perilous places, and even capable of slaying an Octagonal Green Bull single-handedly. Though it was due to the severe injuries sustained by the Octagonal Green Bull, his prowess is not to be underestimated."

"Moreover, this youth’s strength, combat skills, and experience are shockingly proficient and rich, possibly even surpassing those descendants from major powers; who exactly is this prodigious figure?"

"And he also has this secret treasure concealing the void. Had this old man not also possessed a treasure sensing the void, he would not have been aware."

The person shook their head pensively, saying, "This young man’s identity is extraordinary, his background must be exceptional; too bad, if not for other pressing matters, I would have surely investigated him thoroughly."

Not long after this person left, Ye Chen’s figure silently appeared, looking in the direction of the departure, his eyes full of contemplation...
