Ye Chen appeared, no longer in a state of Primordial Spirit emptiness. He arrived before the group, his figure towering and majestic, his entire body overflowing with surging golden light. Bathed within it, he was as dazzling as a Sun God.
Above his head, a Great Dao Treasure Vessel Seal floated, divine radiance flowing.
His presence was like an Ancient Divine Mountain spanning heaven and earth, immovable, giving Vivian, Princess Hong Rong, and the others an unprecedented sense of security—a feeling even Xia Yang could not provide.
"Just as I thought. I said this guy couldn't possibly be killed so easily," the Sixth Princess Yang Miaoxue murmured in the distance, her gaze complex, seemingly certain yet clearly revealing a hint of joy.
"Ye Chen!"
Numerous trialists exclaimed in shock. Who would have thought this peerless Slaughter God would ultimately awaken, causing everyone's expressions to change in horror.
Because this person was too intimidating; almost everyone present wanted to kill Ye Chen.
But then many sneered coldly. Could Ye Chen withstand so many True Yuan power attacks? They didn't believe he could.
Facing the attacks from two to three hundred trialists, even an ordinary Martial God powerhouse would be unable to endure. Only a super Martial God above the seventh heaven or a peak Martial God would have the qualification to resist.
Yet Ye Chen remained as calm and composed as ever. The Great Dao Treasure Vessel Seal manifested above his head, its body crystalline and translucent, inscribed with countless runes and engraved with the patterns of the Great Dao. The vessel's mouth aimed at the numerous trialists, and terrifying destructive light erupted.
Boom—
Two powerful forces collided. In that instant, the entire dilapidated ancient hall finally could not withstand it and collapsed. The mountain range exploded, mountains crumbled and the earth split, dust soared into the sky, presenting a scene of utter devastation.
Even the entire Divine Spirit's Small World was shaken. Heaven and earth trembled and rolled, smoke rose everywhere, terrifying Great Dao fluctuations erupted, countless trees were uprooted and flattened.
Many snorted coldly. Ye Chen was too arrogant, actually thinking he alone could resist so many True Yuan attacks. Did he really think he was a super Martial God or a Heavenly God? He overestimated himself too much. Even if he didn't die from this collision, he would be severely wounded.
But when everything dispersed, Ye Chen stood there, his clothes unstained by blood, the Great Dao vast, not a speck of dust upon him, transcendent and otherworldly. He deeply shocked everyone present. He was actually unharmed? Could it be that Ye Chen had already reached the level of a super Martial God?
"What? Ye Chen actually blocked it? Is he really human? How can he be so terrifying?"
"Impossible. An ordinary Martial God definitely could not resist. How did Ye Chen do it?"
"Has Ye Chen already reached the seventh heaven super Martial God level? Or is he even stronger?"
Ye Chen's strength deeply shocked the hearts of everyone present. Because he was too powerful, unprecedented, actually resisting so many True Yuan attacks. It was truly unprecedented.
In the distance, Yang Shaoqi, Long Tenghua, and others were even more horrified upon seeing this. How could this happen? It was absolutely impossible to resist without reaching the seventh heaven super Martial God realm. They, these young talents from super forces, deeply understood how difficult achieving this was. Even if the four of them joined forces, they likely couldn't withstand it. But Ye Chen had done it.
Such methods were already beyond what an ordinary Martial God could master.
"Cough—"
Suddenly, a strand of bright, dazzling golden blood trickled from the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. It was blood. Clearly, he had not emerged unscathed from this collision.
But the blood energy within his body rumbled like thunder, deafening, rapidly restoring him. It was only a minor injury.
The Great Dao Treasure Vessel Seal above his head dispersed, and a stream of azure light entered the crown of Ye Chen's head. That was the Heavenly God Spear, whose Heavenly God might he had awakened. Otherwise, Ye Chen could never have become this powerful.
The combined attack of over a hundred Xiantian powerhouses was too terrifying, not something the current Ye Chen could resist.
Naturally, it wasn't that there were no other means to resist; the Heavenly God Spear was just one of them.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's icy gaze swept over the numerous trialists, his eyes containing a cold killing intent that made their hearts turn cold, as if stared at by the god of death. They couldn't help but swallow nervously, watching Ye Chen with apprehension.
"Just now, your courage was truly impressive. Did you want to kill me and seize the Great Dao Blood?" Ye Chen smiled slightly, but that smile seemed bone-chillingly cold, making everyone's hearts tremble, a sight that shocked them to the core. Their expressions looked as if they had eaten bitter herbs, as bitter as could be.
Why did they have to provoke this peerless Great Demon King for no reason?
"No, Lord Ye Chen, you must not misunderstand. We absolutely had no such intention," one trialist hurriedly jumped out to explain.
"That's right, Lord Ye Chen, you must not misunderstand. How would we dare to do such a thing?"
"Lord Ye Chen, your cultivation is peerless, your combat power matchless. Even if you gave us ten more guts, we wouldn't dare to attack you. It's just that seeing your state just now, we were truly worried, overly anxious, so our actions were a bit hasty. We hope Your Excellency is magnanimous and does not take offense."
"We beseech Lord Ye Chen not to blame us."
Other trialists all spoke up to explain, trying their best to distance themselves. What a joke. Now that Ye Chen had awakened, who would dare oppose him? Wasn't that seeking death?
"Brother Ye Chen, you mustn't believe their words. They're simply a bunch of liars. They were clearly attacking desperately just now, and now they're desperately trying to distance themselves. So hypocritical," even someone as gentle and kind as Vivian couldn't help but speak up, feeling very indignant.
Liu Pei said urgently, "Young lady, you can eat random food, but you can't speak random words. How would we dare harm Lord Ye Chen? Lord Ye Chen, you must distinguish right from wrong."
The Thirteenth Prince, however, snorted coldly. "You clearly wanted to kill Ye Chen just now, but now you're desperately trying to distance yourselves. This group is truly hypocritical enough to be laughable."
The group of trialists grew anxious. They didn't want to oppose Ye Chen. But some also sneered secretly: "He's just a Ye Chen. Does he really think he can resist hundreds of us trialists? Ridiculous. Not even a super Martial God could, let alone him. He must have used some unknown method. Everyone, attack, kill him. Don't be afraid."
Others also spoke up, fanning the flames: "Do you all still want to settle things peacefully at this point? Since the root of trouble has been planted, we should eradicate it completely. As long as we all work together, killing Ye Chen is simple."
"Right, do you think Ye Chen will let us off?"
In secret, many were speaking, constantly fanning the flames, inciting the powerhouses to kill Ye Chen.
It must be said, this proposal truly tempted many. Because Ye Chen was too strong, a huge threat to everyone. Moreover, they had all attacked just now. Given Ye Chen's personality, he might not truly settle things peacefully.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over everyone. "Who is it? Come out."
He was looking for the few people secretly fanning the flames.
But the person in secret sneered in response: "Who would run out? If you want to find me, just come at me. I'm not afraid of you."
"Heh, who do you think you are? If you have the ability, find us."
"Are you deliberately trying to make me attack?" Ye Chen revealed a cold smile. Then his figure suddenly vanished. The next moment, he abruptly appeared amidst the powerhouses. Ye Chen arrived before a lean man, directly grasping the trialist's neck with his hand and lifting him up as easily as lifting a chick. The other party had no way to struggle; even the True Yuan power within his body was instantly sealed, unable to move.
Ye Chen looked at the lean man and said coldly, "Do you have any last words you wish to say now?"
That person's face changed dramatically. Clearly, he hadn't expected Ye Chen to see through his proud hiding technique. But he still argued: "Lord Ye Chen, you must not misunderstand me. I didn't secretly spread bad words about you."
"Still arguing when the matter is at hand. Truly, you bring destruction upon yourself." Ye Chen's palm suddenly exerted force, a golden light erupting!
Pfft—
This person suddenly exploded, blood mist scattering. He was killed just like that in front of everyone, and so abruptly that everyone almost couldn't react.
Then Ye Chen's gaze solidified into something tangible, shooting out as he looked at the others. "There are three more."
Pfft, pfft, pfft—
Subsequently, three more people were blasted apart in succession, all killed in an instant.
Everyone was stunned.
A series of merciless slaughtering actions made the remaining trialists' hearts tremble. This was simply like a peerless Great Demon King, making one's heart quake.
"And you all. I remember you all attacked before."
Ye Chen's words made the powerhouses' hearts pound with fear. Did Ye Chen really want to start a massacre? That terrifying killing intent continuously spread, making each of them tremble with fear, knowing danger was upon them.
"What is everyone waiting for? Ye Chen clearly wants to carry out a massacre. He is a Great Demon King. We need to unite to oppose this demon king. Kill him!"
Someone shouted, gaining the agreement of many. Ye Chen really might massacre them, because they had all attacked before and even caused Xia Yang and the others to be injured and cough blood.
Boom—
Numerous trialists attacked. Streams of True Yuan power, Xiantian martial techniques, Xiantian manifestations—all were unleashed without restraint towards Ye Chen's location. They exerted their full strength to suppress and kill Ye Chen.
Because they all sensed a terrifying killing intent spreading, originating from the Unrivaled King Ye Chen. He held genuine killing intent towards them, wanting to carry out a great slaughter.
Therefore, they all attacked without reservation, aiming to kill Ye Chen. Otherwise, danger would befall them.
However, Ye Chen feared none of this. The attacks were like raindrops, but he was utterly fearless. Golden light spread under his feet, and he instantly moved away with the Thirteenth Prince and the others. Everything happened with extreme speed. In just an instant, all attacks completely missed.
The next moment, Ye Chen brought everyone to the edge of the Divine Spirit's Small World, where the passage to the outside world was. But Ye Chen struck out with a brilliant golden light, directly sweeping away all obstacles within, crushing them like rotten wood, invincible. They could pass through safely and return to the outside world at any time.
After consuming the Blood Pill, Xia Yang's entire body's blood energy surged forth, fluctuations intense. He directly sat cross-legged. He was about to break through, truly reaching the Martial God realm, and could not be disturbed.
Ye Chen performed a divine technique. A Sacred Lotus Seal appeared, a full zhang in size. The lotus bloomed, revealing the lotus platform. Xia Yang was sent into it. With a flick of his sleeve, the nine Dao Platforms in the ancient hall were instantly collected by him. Then, one Dao Platform was sent onto the lotus platform for Xia Yang to sit cross-legged upon, allowing him to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.
As the lotus gathered and its petals closed, it could protect Xia Yang within.
At this moment, Ye Chen turned around. With a single step, a mere instant, he returned to the dilapidated ancient hall, once again confronting the powerhouses.
But this time, it was clear Ye Chen had stirred genuine killing intent. Killing thoughts blotted out the sky and covered the earth; heaven and earth trembled. He made his move.
Boom—
Behind him, a golden, dazzling passage appeared, as if leading to a golden great world. Golden radiance surged to the heavens, and an indestructible sharp aura erupted, capable of slicing through the void and shaking apart heaven and earth.
Five Elements Golden Realm!
That's right, a divine ability from his past life. This was a peerless divine ability renowned for its offensive power, and it manifested as golden, sharing a sense of common origin with Ye Chen's own source, allowing him to unleash unimaginable offensive power.
Ye Chen's body was enveloped in a golden divine halo, flowing with radiance, as if a Divine Spirit had descended to the mortal world. A terrifying aura soared to the heavens.
The next moment, golden light erupted from the passage, and countless golden Dao artifacts shot out, transforming into brilliant meteors streaking across the sky, bombarding all the trialists, carrying out an unprecedented massacre!
Pfft, pfft, pfft—
One trialist after another at the very front hadn't fully reacted before being utterly blasted apart by this series of golden Dao artifacts. Flesh and blood exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist scattering, not even bones or flesh remaining. It was a sight that shocked the eyes.
Too terrifying. In just one encounter, a full sixteen or seventeen people were slaughtered, right in front of so many trialists, one-tenth of the trialists were massacred.
Blood mist spread. This scene was so bloody and shocking.
Ye Chen had truly acted. He actually feared nothing, slaughtering trialists. If this matter got out, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar, shaking the Tian Du Continent.
One must know, these trialists were all young talents key to the cultivation of the various major forces of the Tian Du Continent. Many were even regarded as the next generation successors, rare geniuses. Only this gathering of the entire younger generation of the Tian Du Continent would reveal so many young Xiantian powerhouses. Otherwise, how could so many appear on ordinary days?
If Ye Chen really killed them, it would likely mean making enemies with over a hundred forces across the entire Tian Du Continent.
The consequences would be extremely severe. Did Ye Chen really have the guts?
But Ye Chen truly had the guts. Even in action, he continuously attacked, like a fierce tiger charging into a flock of sheep, their strength completely unequal.
Boom, boom, boom—
The Five Elements Golden Realm shot out countless golden Dao artifacts. Each one was evolved from his golden blood yuan. Strictly speaking, each wasn't very strong, only capable of harming Xiantian cultivators. But their advantage lay in quantity, like a meteor shower, innumerable, attacking indiscriminately.
Individual trialists could withstand one or two golden Dao artifact attacks, but three or more were difficult to resist, let alone countless. It was simply unstoppable.
Even crushing a spirit talisman to eliminate oneself for protection wouldn't work. Those could only withstand one or two strikes from an ordinary Martial God powerhouse. But for Ye Chen, they could be broken through, just requiring a bit more effort, that's all.
Visibly, one trialist after another was directly blasted into dust, ceasing to exist.
One moment alive and well, the next moment erased from this world. It was horrifying. This Unrivaled King Ye Chen before their eyes was simply a peerless Great Demon King, slaughtering trialists like this, pushing forward horizontally. Was he really not afraid of condemnation from the world? Was he really not afraid of provoking even Supreme Divine Spirits to take action and suppress him?
Although there were hundreds of trialists gathered together, at this moment they were utterly routed, fleeing in all directions. Because in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had slaughtered thirty or forty people. Such ruthless methods deeply shocked them. Where would they dare resist? They couldn't flee fast enough.
One after another desperately fled in all directions, not realizing that gathering together was the best way to resist Ye Chen.
Many even charged towards the passage direction, but the Thirteenth Prince and the Scaled Golden Lion blocked the passage, preventing them from passing through safely.
"Get out of the way, or don't blame us for acting ruthlessly!"
Over twenty trialists charged over, shouting at the blocking Thirteenth Prince and the others, their eyes red.
But the Thirteenth Prince and the others didn't move an inch. Even the Scaled Golden Lion roared, glaring furiously, entering a state of readiness for battle.
Ye Chen performed the Mountain Embracing Seal. Directly, a golden mountain peak appeared between heaven and earth, blotting out the sky and sun. He threw it down before the passage, making it impassable.
"Lord Ye Chen, we beg for mercy. We won't dare again."
"Lord Ye Chen, Your Excellency is magnanimous. Please spare us."
"I don't want to die. Lord Ye Chen, please let us go."
"Ye Chen, you are so vicious. In the future, you will be hunted by the people of the world. Are you really not afraid? Even your family will be erased."
One trialist after another cried and begged for mercy, but some also made threatening remarks. Ye Chen paused for a moment, ceasing his attacks. Seeing this, that person pressed the advantage: "Ye Chen, think carefully. If you attack again, then your parents and family will be hunted by our various major forces. Are you really not afraid? I advise you to quickly hand over the Great Dao Blood. We will plead for—"
Pfft—
Before he could even finish his sentence, that person directly turned to dust, blasted into blood mist by a slap from Ye Chen. Only his cold, merciless words were heard: "I hate being threatened the most."
Boom, rumble, rumble—
Ye Chen carried out an unprecedented horizontal sweep. One trialist after another was successively beheaded by him.
Pfft, pfft, pfft—
One trialist figure after another continuously fell, even having their bodies blasted apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere. This Divine Spirit's Small World had completely become a slaughterhouse.
Rivers of blood flowed, corpses lay strewn across the ground one after another. Some couldn't even preserve their bones completely because they were directly blasted apart, flesh turned to dust, bones to powder, nothing remaining.
Not to mention others, even Yang Shaoqi and the others watched with hearts trembling and souls shaking. Was Ye Chen insane? Even they wouldn't dare slaughter trialists like this. This would offend all the trialists, treating them like grass and weeds.
"Run! Everyone, run!"
"Lord Ye Chen, please stop! We didn't mean it!"
"Lord Ye Chen, please do not take offense. We were all wrong."
Many wailed incessantly, begging Ye Chen to stop, not to continue attacking. They were all afraid.
But Ye Chen's expression was icy, unmoved. As before, he attacked. With just a palm slapping the void, seven trialists in succession had their bodies blasted apart, blood mist scattering. The scene was indescribably bloody, making one's heart tremble and soul shake.
Was this even human? Clearly a terrifying Great Demon King. Too terrifying, treating human lives like grass and weeds. Even super forces couldn't compare.
"Ye Chen, do you know that acting like this, slaughtering trialists, will bring heavenly retribution?" A Hundred Strong Trialist was directly made to cough blood by the fluctuations from Ye Chen's palm slapping the void. He endured it forcefully, questioning Ye Chen's tyranny like this.
"When you all ganged up to attack me, why didn't I see you think this way? Now that it's your turn, you hypocritically try to persuade me. Do you think I will listen?"
Ye Chen responded coldly, taking a large stride. In an instant, he arrived before that Hundred Strong Trialist. Without any unnecessary words, his palm, crystalline and translucent, flowing with brilliant golden radiance, like acrystal divine gold-cast golden divine blade, slashed down from above.
No matter how desperately that Hundred Strong Trialist erupted with his powerful True Yuan to resist, giving birth to Xiantian manifestations, even placing a treasured blade above his head—all of this was in vain. Because Ye Chen crushed them like rotten wood, invincible.
With a metallic clang, the treasured blade was directly severed into two halves. Then, the palm-blade traced a golden arc from top to bottom. That powerful Hundred Strong Trialist, a formidable expert on the Trial Path whom few could match, let alone surpass, was at this moment as weak as an ant, utterly unable to resist.
Pfft—
His body was split in two by the palm-blade, yet not a single drop of blood splattered out, for the wounds were scorched shut. Then, the two halves of his body completely exploded, leaving not a trace of bone or flesh behind. It was a scene of such gruesome carnage.
In a single encounter, without the slightest effort, he had suppressed and slain a powerful Hundred Strong Trialist. This was the extent of Ye Chen's might, a sight that filled others with terror, fear, numbness, and awe.
Young Great Demon King—this was the fearsome title the numerous trialists bestowed upon Ye Chen. Though this youth was young, even younger than the vast majority of trialists, he was cold and merciless, killing without hesitation, showing not a shred of leniency. This drove everyone to the brink of madness.
Because he was too terrifying, his power boundless, causing hearts to tremble.
