Zheng Dewei and a crowd of martial artists emanated a frenzy of intense energy. Facing Ye Chen, they showed no intention of holding back, each preparing to unleash their strongest strike!
Tu Lanxin gritted her teeth and abruptly stepped in front of Ye Chen, shouting under her breath, “Ye Chen, run! No matter how strong you are, you can’t face so many Chaos Realm experts at once!”
“Run? Is that what you think?”
Zheng Dewei sneered coldly, watching Tu Lanxin risk her life to shield Ye Chen. His eyes blazed with venomous hatred, madness flickering within!
He hated them both! Not just Ye Chen, but Tu Lanxin as well!
“Too late now! Wretched woman, if you insist on protecting him even now, then the pair of you can die together! In the netherworld, you can become doomed lovers!”
In the midst of his words, countless supremely powerful energies erupted—sword qi, fist techniques, palm intent—all swirled in chaos, twisting the space into disarray. The combined force of dozens of attacks coalesced into a colossal, overwhelming hand, descending strong and fierce toward Ye Chen!
Jin Chang and Luo Shishi’s expressions shifted drastically, and they retreated frantically. If this strike landed, even the aftershocks alone could obliterate them!
Luo Shishi shouted desperately at Tu Lanxin, “Lanxin! Retreat now! This kid is beyond saving!”
She knew that under the lock of such a terrifying joint attack, Ye Chen had no chance of avoiding it!
Though she admitted Ye Chen was extraordinarily brilliant, his death would be regrettable—an even significant loss to the Divine Nations.
But didn’t he invite trouble upon himself by offending Kong Xian?
Tu Lanxin was her sister, and she didn’t want her to accompany Ye Chen into the grave!
Yet Tu Lanxin seemed as if she hadn’t heard her; she remained motionless!
Luo Shishi sighed lightly as the pair retreated to a safe distance.
They looked back at Tu Lanxin and Ye Chen, shaking their heads—Luo Shishi in sadness, while Jin Chang brimmed with cruel satisfaction.
Tu Lanxin’s demeanor remained tranquil, even as the horrifying attack bore down on her. She glanced at Ye Chen without saying a word, but seeing his calm expression, an inexplicable sense of serenity filled her heart.
Her entire being surged with spiritual energy as dark light shimmered across her Dragonslayer Sword. Determination burned in her eyes; though she knew her sword techniques could never shatter such a monstrous strike, Tu Lanxin was resolute to fight!
Her pride wouldn’t allow her to sit idle and wait for death!
At the moment she was about to deliver her strike, a hand descended on the hilt of her sword.
Tu Lanxin looked toward Ye Chen in confusion. What was he doing?
Ye Chen merely smiled faintly and said, “Trust me.”
“Trust me!”
These simple words left Tu Lanxin wide-eyed, her beautiful gaze filled with deep emotion!
Wasn’t “trust me” the phrase Ye Chen spoke to her when they left the rocky cavern?
And what happened after that?
Tu Lanxin’s eyes grew even brighter!
Then, Ye Chen had suppressed Zheng Dewei with a single sword stroke!
Could it be…?
Tu Lanxin knew such a miracle was nearly impossible…
But what if Ye Chen could pull off one more miracle?
Unbidden, she withdrew her sword. At this moment, Ye Chen radiated an inexplicable sense of trustworthiness!
Ye Chen gazed toward the combined strike of several dozen Chaos Realm cultivators that threatened to compress the surrounding space into nihility, a cold smirk curling at his lips.
This time, what was Ye Chen’s greatest achievement?
The reincarnation bloodline!
The reincarnation bloodline was an incredibly miraculous lineage, nearly a form of Origin qi. Apart from fortifying the wielder, it unlocked additional attributes, allowing a martial artist’s constitution to undergo Ancestral Return transformations!
“Forbidden Spirit Domain, open!”
Under the surging power brought about by the ascension of his bloodline, Ye Chen’s absorbed Origin qi—obtained after slaying Ling Jiuxiao—flourished completely!
It had even surpassed the layers attainable by a regular Forbidden Spirit Body!
A strange green light radiated from Ye Chen’s body, spreading outward. In an instant, the space in front of the rocky cave seemed to freeze in time.
The dozens of overwhelming attacks descending upon him were suddenly suppressed momentarily!
It wasn’t enough!
At that moment, Ye Chen’s face turned pale.
This technique consumed an enormous amount of spiritual energy!
Even though Ye Chen had advanced to the Disaster Slaying realm, his dantian vast beyond compare to that in the Great Void realm…
His lips still curled into a smile.
Because he had another move!
“Come forth, Little Gold!”
Just then, out of the darkness, emerged a colossal beast.
The beast’s entire surface burned with flames.
