In the midst of the forest, Ye Chen confronted the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Pass Masters, the atmosphere between them tense, with overwhelming fluctuations of Divine Power at work that made the entire forest tremble.
Ye Chen’s stance was clearly very aggressive—battle it would be, then, who was afraid of whom?
From a distance, numerous trialists were both nervous and excited, for this was a clash between the young generation’s prodigy and the middle-aged warriors from the Martial God Realm. It was also a challenge to the authority of the Tiandu Academy, attracting much attention.
Despite many people believing Ye Chen would undoubtedly be defeated and even punished by the Tiandu Academy, there was no question that Ye Chen had the courage to challenge the Tiandu Academy. No matter who it was, they had to admire this.
"Ye Chen, you indeed qualify as a prodigy, but do you really think that becoming a Martial God makes you invincible and you can disregard others? Today, as a senior, I will let you understand that there are heavens beyond this heaven, people beyond this person."
The Tenth Pass Master coldly chided, he was the first to step forward, not the trio of Pass Masters. If three of them took action together, it would truly disgust the face of Tiandu Academy; using three Martial Gods to deal with one youth would be disgraceful even if they won.
And they disdained to act so, nor did they believe that Ye Chen possessed such strength.
He was merely at the beginnings of Martial God Realm. What was there to fear? Each of the Gate Masters was a true super expert who had stepped into the Martial God Realm for over ten years, far stronger than those newly entered.
The Tenth Pass Master made his move, effortlessly summoning a chunk of Seven-colored Heavenly Earth Power, about ten meters in size, but the inherent power was terrifying—capable of destroying a small mountain. He condensed it into a beam of Seven-colored Divine Light, with the might to pierce through mountains.
With a flick of his finger, the beam of Seven-Colored Divine Light hurtled towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen’s expression was calm. He flicked his finger and a golden light shot out, dazzling, but easily dissipated the Seven-Colored Divine Light and then continued towards the Tenth Pass Master with undiminished force.
The Tenth Pass Master was slightly surprised; this youngster was indeed no ordinary person, actually catching his attack.
However, with a press of his finger, intending to shatter the golden light, he felt a powerful force explode, causing his fingers to fracture and blood to spatter. He was slightly shocked, his expression turning a bit more serious.
With a swift movement, Ye Chen suddenly attacked. Stepping forward, he turned into lightning, streaking across the sky and instantly reaching before the Tenth Pass Master. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and slapped down, his fingers shimmering with bright golden light, like a golden Heavenly Stele crashing down, with the air exploding thunderously around.
It was too fast; the Tenth Pass Master barely had time to react. He only managed to raise his hand to catch the slap, but an even more terrifying force surged over him, sending him retreating continuously about a dozen steps back in mid-air before he could stabilize.
However, his right palm was fractured; the flesh mangled and bloody, shockingly broken.
Everyone was stunned. Ye Chen was no ordinary person; in just a confrontation, he not only didn’t lose but actually gained the upper hand and wounded the Tenth Pass Master. Was this really just a youth who had newly stepped into the Martial God Realm?
But Ye Chen remained silent, proving his position through his actions as he moved forward to strike up close.
Even though he hadn’t used the Glazed Golden Body, his power was still terrifyingly immense, throwing out ten punches consecutively, each capable of shaking mountains, immensely powerful.
The Tenth Pass Master kept retreating, unable to defend, nor did he dare to meet the attacks directly because the opponent’s Treasure Body was too strong, the Divine Power immense, and just suffering one punch was enough to tear his muscles painfully.
After just ten punches, he was in such pain that he kept coughing up blood, terrifiedly watching the youth before him. It was too terrifying.
A few Ninth and Eleventh Pass Masters wanted to step forward and help, but the Tenth Pass Master stopped them, truly unwilling to stoop to the point of joining hands with others to fight.
He shouted lightly, directly summoning Heavenly Earth Power to attack Ye Chen, to protect himself, ready for both attack and defense.
Yet suddenly, a burst of colorful light blossomed from between Ye Chen’s brows, releasing a majestic aura of the Primordial Spirit, with the entire Heavenly Universe thundering, heart-stoppingly formidable, and with a light shout, "Disperse!"
As if the spoken law followed, the mass of Heavenly Earth Power instantly dispersed, astonishing everyone.
Only a truly powerful Primordial Spirit could achieve this step, dispersing the summoned Heavenly Earth Power of the opponent directly.
Everyone was shocked, Ye Chen not only had a physically strong body, but his Primordial Spirit was also exceptionally powerful, even more so than the average Martial God expert.
The Primordial Spirit, only the Martial God experts could condense, but Ye Chen had condensed it with his Innate body, which clearly evidenced the heaven-defying strength of Ye Chen.
This was also one of the results of Ye Chen’s five months of secluded cultivation, not only achieving the Human Origin Golden Body but also completely transforming his spiritual power, condensing a Primordial Spirit that sat cross-legged within the Mud Ball Palace in his brow.
Usually, the Primordial Spirit was not visible, but at this moment, it showed astonishing power.
Ye Chen’s expression was solemn, but he punched bravely, not using any Divine Power Secret Techniques, but even so, this punch, where his flesh showed the color of glazed gold, bore the weight of hundreds of millions, thunderously pressing down like a massive mountain striking forth, smashing the Tenth Pass Master’s body flying out with fresh blood spurting and striking the ground.
Looking down at the Tenth Pass Master fallen on the ground, Ye Chen, from a high vantage point, standing in the sky, said coldly, "Tenth Pass Master, even if you are a Super Expert from Demigod Valley, you’re merely at the Second Layer Heaven, and I can still easily slay you now."
Everyone was shocked, and even though they felt Ye Chen’s words were arrogant, it wasn’t entirely impossible since the Tenth Pass Master indeed was no match for Ye Chen and was struck flying with blood splattering.
Is this really just an ordinary Young Martial God? Clearly, he possesses the qualifications of a king.
The Tenth Pass Master’s face turned from green to white, looking extremely ugly, unexpectedly falling into the opponent’s hand. Moreover, this sensation of being looked down upon from high above was truly unpleasant and deeply humiliating.
He immediately rose into the air again, his figure standing tall in the void, looking at Ye Chen.
"Boy, you forced my hand, now let me show you my true capabilities."
The Tenth Pass Master yelled coldly, his hands drawing a complete circle, with extraordinary and mysterious trajectories, his arms suddenly emitting Divine Radiance, and then a blazing heavenly sun rose up, illuminating with tens of thousands of radiance and accompanied by an infinite scorching heat surging forward.
Undoubtedly, this was a powerful Divine Skill, drawing a circular heavenly sun, burning with the Sun God Fire, every blaze intensely fervent, pushing toward Ye Chen.
This was indeed an extraordinary Divine Skill, not just any common Divine Power Secret Technique.
The Tenth Pass Master pushed the great sun forward, the entire Heavenly Dome started to tremble, the endless Divine Fire engulfed the sky aiming to completely burn Ye Chen to ashes.
"Sun Seal, isn’t that the Supreme Divine Power of the Tianqi Empire? So that’s why he is targeting Ye Chen so specifically."
From far away, many trialists exclaimed in shock, the Sun Seal was a Supreme Divine Power invented by the Supreme Divine Ancestor of the Tianqi Empire, with terrifying power, capable of burning the Heavenly Universe and collapsing the nine realms, a single flame capable of turning thousands of miles of mountains and rivers into a vast desert.
Even at its highest realm, it could directly replace the heavenly sun.
Although the Tenth Pass Master was far from the limitless terror as the Supreme Divine when performing, one could still distinctly feel the terrifying nature of this blazing sun, with endless Dao Fire burning inside, capable of burning thousands of miles of vast mountains, collapsing giant peaks, a truly astonishing Divine Combat Skills.
It turned out that the Tenth Pass Master was from the Tianqi Empire, and he knew about the death of Eighth Prince Yang Jun at the Eighth Pass because of Ye Chen, no wonder he was so targeted at Ye Chen previously.
This time, using the Sun Seal was deliberate, intending to make Ye Chen die.
The trialists couldn’t help but worry about Ye Chen, although he was strong, he was only just stepping into the Martial God Realm, with no possible way to resist the Sun Seal.
"Sun Seal, it looks like Elder Yang is truly enraged, after all, an important prince of the royal family was killed, specifically his nephew Young Jun, although Ye Chen is powerful, he couldn’t possibly withstand the Sun Seal."
The Ninth Pass, Eleventh Pass watched coldly, only the Twelfth Pass Master furrowed her brows, although she also felt the terror of the Sun Seal, Ye Chen was too extraordinary, he might have a means of defense.
Yet Ye Chen sneered, "Sun Seal? Do you think you’re the only one who can use it?"
With a thunderous noise, Ye Chen’s hands also drew a complete circle, brilliantly golden, similarly bearing a brilliant sun spanning the sky, also illuminating with tens of thousands of radiant lights, turning the Heavenly Universe into a bright golden color.
The world was stunned.
