Chapter 187: Chapter 171: Alliance of the Five Great Masters (1st Update)

Ye Chen was enraged, his expression dark and foreboding, yet at this moment there surged forth from him an unprecedented and terrible supreme aura that pierced through the heavens.

With a thunderous boom, endless golden Blood Essence exploded violently, engulfing the broken ruins of the Ancient Hall, a vast expanse of shimmering gold. It stirred heaven and earth, setting off waves of golden Blood Essence that seemed to topple the Ninth Layer Heaven itself.

Ye Chen’s body glowed as if it were a furnace, bathed in the mighty golden radiance, like an invincible War God descending to the mortal realm, startling the world.

The terrifyingly peerless aura weighed on the hearts of all the Trialists like a massive mountain, oppressively heavy to the point of nearly suffocating, utterly shocking and too fearsome to behold.

The six young Martial Gods’ complexions changed in an instant; this powerful aura, even they felt the weight on their breath, a pressure upon them, aghast beyond words—how could Ye Chen be so powerful?

The Silver Horned Tiger roared, its horns unleashing blinding beams of light aimed at Ye Chen. However, the latter’s fingers flowed with abundant Light Radiance, his flesh displaying a glaze-like golden hue, hard as a diamond. Without resorting to Principle Divine Powers, he simply raised his hand and deflected the silver beam, effortlessly and directly, demonstrating his unparalleled Divine Might and stunning everyone present. So mighty.

Previously, when Yang Shaoqi had used the Heavenly Snow Pure River technique, even with his Divine Hammer, he was still blown away, but now it seemed so fragile by comparison.

All this only served to prove Ye Chen’s true overwhelming strength.

Then Ye Chen took the offense, like a Great Demon making its entrance, his golden Blood Essence Power bursting forth, shaking heaven and earth.

He soared into the air, confronting the Silver Horned White Tiger head-on, his battle power defying the heavens and earth, landing a punch that completely sent the White Tiger flying, smashing into a distant mountain, the dust rising to the sky with a rolling thunderous sound.

The Divine Fist continued unabated, colliding head-on with the Divine Hammer propelled by Yang Shaoqi from behind. A dazzling burst of golden light exploded forth, the luminance from the hammer scattered, and then, Ye Chen’s golden palm opened, grasping firmly and extinguishing the revival of its Divine Power, it lay peacefully in his hand, calm.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, yet Ye Chen truly displayed the awe-inspiring might of a supreme expert, deeply shaking everyone’s soul.

So strong, this is Ye Chen’s true combat power? Certainly supreme and peerless, the Crownless King of the younger generation is not just empty words.

Even the six young Martial Gods were intimidated, such combat power was not something a newly-ascended Martial God should possess, it was excessively powerful. To have blown away a Martial God Demon and then to shatter a Super Martial God Daoist Soldier with merely his physical fist, was all this not too astonishing?

But such was the reality.

Had they known that at the Twelfth Pass, Ye Chen alone had subdued three Martial God Realm Gate Masters, they would perhaps understand just what a formidable figure Ye Chen was.

"Ye Chen, you—"

The six young Martial Gods were in shock, the strength Ye Chen exhibited at this moment seemed far greater than theirs, causing their hearts to tremble with a strong sense of threat.

Especially Xia Yang, who hadn’t seen Ye Chen for a mere half year, had perceived the Heavenly Earth Dao on the Dao Platform, his power leaping forward to possess Martial God Realm strength. He had thought he had surpassed Ye Chen, but now it seemed Ye Chen was still ahead. This kind of extraordinary and fearsome power was not something ordinary people could possess.

Yang Shaoqi was even more shocked, even coughed up blood due to the connection with the Divine Hammer, but all of it seemed trivial compared to the shock in his heart.

He had once thought Ye Chen was at most on par with the previously acclaimed super expert, now full of confidence that he would suppress him. But all this appeared to be illusionary, the opponent’s strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined, truly like a humanoid True Dragon.

But the Divine Hammer was still in Ye Chen’s palm, and Yang Shaoqi desperately called for it to return, all to no avail, for Ye Chen’s palm flowed with a dense, brilliant Light Radiance, completely suppressing the hammer, beyond being influenced.

"Ye Chen, how dare you, that is a Heavy Weapon of the Tianqi Empire." Yang Shaoqi snapped coldly, yet he didn’t dare to make a move because the deterrent force from Ye Chen was too strong.

"Silence." Ye Chen uttered coldly, paying no mind to Yang Shaoqi. With a strong grip of his golden palm, the hammer was not crushed, but the sliver of Primordial Spirit Imprint within was completely extinguished, replaced by his own mark, at this moment serving him, opening the space within his Dantian and placing it inside.

Having reached the Human Origin Golden Body, Ye Chen had stronger control over his body, and furthermore, had unlocked a human body treasure, able to create an internal space, not very large at just about three cubic feet, but capable of storing objects. Within it were the Heavenly Divine Spear, the medicinal materials for the "Refining God Pill," and more.

This ability was possessed by Martial God experts, no more than a minor marvel of unlocking the human body treasure. As cultivation increased, this internal space would only become more numerous and vast.

Even some supreme masters can open up a vast world inside their bodies, and even give birth to a real Great World.

The Divine Hammer imprint was sensed by Yangg Shaoqi as it was extinguished. His mouth injured, he coughed up blood, his face pale, but he hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be so bold as to actually dare to take his Heavy Weapon. Unable to contain his fury, he roared, "Ye Chen, you dare, give me back my weapon now."

"Give it back to you?"

Ye Chen indeed sent the Divine Hammer flying towards Yangg Shaoqi, leaving everyone astonished. Could it be that he really intended to return it to him?

But Yangg Shaoqi’s expression changed dramatically as he summoned his Divine Power and rapidly executed six palm seals that connected with each other, forming a terrifying halo that slammed into the Divine Hammer with a thunderous roar, blocking it while he bellowed, "Ye Chen, you’re despicable."

The Trialists all watched in confusion. Wasn’t Ye Chen returning his weapon? Why then did he curse Ye Chen in such a way? But they soon understood why, as someone saw and spoke out that Ye Chen had attached a Primordial Spirit Imprint to the Divine Hammer, claiming it as his own, and the act was nothing but an attack on Yangg Shaoqi.

Ye Chen let out a cold laugh, "Did you really think I would give it back to you? You wish."

"You—" Yangg Shaoqi was seething with rage, having never experienced such humiliation in his life. Ye Chen clearly didn’t take him seriously at all.

Boom—

The Silver Horned Tiger charged out of the dust filling the sky. It had suffered terrible injuries after being blasted away because that strike was a display of Ye Chen’s true combat strength, possessing unparalleled terrifying power that broke several of the creature’s Demon Bones and wounded its innards. Yet, its Demon Power provoked, it attacked Ye Chen once again.

Ye Chen struck out, his golden palm overshadowing the heavens as he swept it out, sending the Silver Horned White Tiger flying, continuously coughing up blood.

Then a shadow flashed from his sleeve, transforming into a thirty-zhang long, enormous Demon Flood Dragon that roamed the void, unleashing its dreadful Demon Power. Lightning-fast, its supple body entwined the Silver Horned Tiger, leaving it unable to struggle.

"A Demon Flood Dragon!?"

The six young Martial Gods were shocked, recognizing the identity of this colossal beast—an alleged Demon Flood Dragon with a trace of True Dragon Blood flowing through it and appearing from none other than Ye Chen, which clearly indicated an extraordinary relationship between the two, even suggesting the possibility that it was a Great Demon subdued by Ye Chen.

Wu Han, a prodigy from the Martial God Temple, watched the Demon Flood Dragon with profound eyes, pondering before realizing, "There are nine Martial God Demons in this world, but two have died, leaving only six ever seen. The ninth one’s bones have always been unaccounted for, assumed to be devoured by the other six, but it now seems possible that this Demon Flood Dragon is the ninth, also subdued by Ye Chen. This man is far from ordinary."

Fairy Caiyun’s eyes shimmered beneath her fair visage, her gaze as brilliant as a starry sky yet unfathomably deep.

Meanwhile, the golden Red Sand Scorpion King was hissing, roaring at the Demon Flood Dragon, the two sharing a profound hatred.

Ye Chen’s eyes were chilly as he swept them over the young Martial Gods of the Three Great Empires and said coldly, "It’s time for you now."

The three young Martial Gods understood that Ye Chen was looking to hold them accountable and make a move against them.

All three were wary, recognizing him as a formidable opponent—most likely unmatched by any of them in a one-on-one battle on this field.

Yangg Shaoqi wiped the blood from his mouth, speaking coldly, "Ye Chen, what do you think you are? Do you actually dare to confront the three of us? Brother Long, Brother Li, let’s join forces to put down this insolent man and teach him a lesson in humility. Brother Wu, Fairy Caiyun, please join us too. You should both realize that no one here might be his match alone. He is our greatest enemy if we want to seize the ultimate Divine Treasure. If we three are dealt with, things won’t go well for you either."

"Agreed," Long Tenghua said.

Li Cheng naturally agreed since he was targeted by Ye Chen as well, and Wu Han consented too. Fairy Caiyun also concurred, as everyone felt the threat posed by Ye Chen.

Only Xia Yang, who had the most complex relationship with Ye Chen, being both friend and foe, chose not to act, nor did he oppose the five, taking no sides. He simply focused on his own battle against the golden Red Sand Scorpion.

Ye Chen simply watched everything unfold, not moving to interfere. His somewhat contemptuous attitude stoked the ire of the five young Martial Gods. Even if he were strong, could he really consider himself unmatched?

"Ye Chen, today I will make you understand that no matter how powerful, you will not remain invincible," Li Cheng said.

"Now that you’re all ready, then I shall make my move to show you what true invincibility is, not something that mere rabble united can stand against," said Ye Chen as he moved. Instantly, his golden Blood Essence obscured the heavens and the earth. With a step that bridged the void, he surged forward, launching his mightiest offensive.
