Chapter 386: Chapter 382: Black Dragon Tyrant of Heaven Style

"Bu Changtian, life really is a sequence of unexpected reunions!"

When Ye Zhen appeared behind Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, swirling around to face the original Bu Changtian, his face was filled with astonishment, shock, depression, and even a hint of fear. It was like a tragicomedy of life playing out in Bu Changtian’s eyes, scene by scene.

If there was one person Bu Changtian least wanted to see at this moment, Ye Zhen was certainly one of them, especially upon discovering the gate to this Secret Realm.

Bu Changtian had roamed the Black Dragon Secret Palace for more than two days before finding this place, and he hadn’t anticipated that Ye Zhen would appear behind him before he could enjoy the results.

Bu Changtian couldn’t help but secretly resent Huaa Wushuang’s incompetence. It had been so long, and yet she still hadn’t made a move against Ye Zhen.

"You... have been following me?"

"Are you worthy?"

Almost at the same time, Huaa Wushuang’s figure shot toward the already-forming vortex of the Secret Realm Gate like lightning.

Whoosh!

The terrifying Wind Cloud Sword Qi nearly skimmed over the dark Secret Realm vortex with a slash, causing Hand Extreme Bu Changtian to come to an abrupt halt.

Feeling the Wind Cloud Sword Qi that nearly brushed past his nose, cold sweat instantly poured down Bu Changtian’s forehead.

Ye Zhen had grown stronger again!

As one of the Martial Artists on the Black Dragon Ranking who paid the closest attention to Ye Zhen, Bu Changtian was very clear on Ye Zhen’s strength. Yet, the power of this Wind Cloud Sword Qi had surpassed Ye Zhen’s previous one by more than fifty percent.

"I discovered this Secret Realm Gate, Ye Zhen. You wouldn’t be so shameless as to try to snatch it from me, would you?" Bu Changtian’s Spiritual Power began to rise around his body.

"Is that so?"

"How do you explain that patch of bloodstains? Your attempts to destroy the body and erase the evidence weren’t very thorough, were they?" Ye Zhen pointed at a brown bloodstain dozens of meters behind Bu Changtian.

This patch of brown blood proved that Bu Changtian was not the first Martial Artist to arrive at the gate to this Secret Realm; at least one had come before him and had already been killed by him.

Of course, none of that mattered.

Whether or not the bloodstain was there, Ye Zhen had set his mind on this Secret Realm Gate.

Not for any other reason than because this Secret Realm Gate was... discovered by Bu Changtian!

Bu Changtian’s expression suddenly changed, "That patch of blood was there before I arrived!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen began to laugh lightly, his laughter filled with mockery and contempt.

"Bu Changtian, you can’t possibly believe that because that bloodstain has nothing to do with you, I will back down or even let you go, can you?"

"Do you think it’s possible for me to let you go now that I’ve encountered you here?" Ye Zhen sneered coldly.

"You?"

Bu Changtian’s expression turned fierce, and he grew ferocious, "Ye Zhen, don’t think that I’m still afraid of you. Did you think that since entering this Black Dragon Secret Palace, my Martial Skills haven’t improved?"

"Fighting desperately? Who can’t do that?"

Bu Changtian let out a fierce shout, and the former, formidable True Inheritor of the Phantom Divine Sect, Bu Changtian, seemed to come back to life, as endless evil Qi burst forth, and countless Palm Shadows appeared in an instant.

In response, an Origin Sword Vein as massive as tens of feet long appeared.

The Palm Shadow, along with the Protective Spirit Force, were cut open as easily as pulling weeds, the Golden Sword Light penetrated the flesh, and Bu Changtian’s nearly peak Acquired Spiritual Body emitted a cracking sound of resistance. Yet, it still could not prevent the bloodline on his forehead from expanding endlessly.

Bu Changtian’s eyes suddenly bulged.

"How... how can you be... so powerful..."

The next instant, Bu Changtian’s head tilted, and he died instantly.

Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, the esteemed True Inheritor and former Young Master of the Phantom Divine Sect on the rise in the Black Dragon Domain, was killed in one move by Ye Zhen.

On entering the Black Dragon Secret Palace, Bu Changtian should have also gone through battles with Illusions, which should have improved his strength as well.

But why was he still killed in one move by Ye Zhen?

The reason is simple: the chances given to every Martial Artist by the Black Dragon Secret Palace to battle with Illusions boosted their Martial Skill levels—in other words, their offensive power. Everyone’s defensive capabilities, however, were unchanged.

Most importantly, the reward for ranking first on the Black Dragon Ranking was the main contributor to Ye Zhen’s increased strength, tripling the length of his First Sword Vein.

The power of Ye Zhen’s Sword Heart Enlightenment Origin Sword Vein was already tremendous; now, with the explosive growth and strengthening of the First Sword Vein, its power increased exponentially.

That Ye Zhen killed Bu Changtian in one move was no surprise.

Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Zhen didn’t want to waste time with him.

If the anomaly here could draw Ye Zhen, it could attract others as well. Although currently, in the Black Dragon Secret Palace, few could be a match for Ye Zhen, the combat enhancement against Illusions was quite miraculous. Better safe than sorry.

"Kitten, guard the surroundings!"

While the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten soared into the sky to keep watch, Ye Zhen began preparing to deal with Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s body, which might just contribute some additional gains to Ye Zhen.

The Phantom Divine Sect’s True Inheritor, Hand Extreme Bu Changtian, who had been a formidable force for years, was certainly a juicy target.

But just as Ye Zhen was about to use Spiritual Fire to eradicate Bu Changtian’s corpse, his actions suddenly halted, and a highly feasible plan emerged in his mind.

Before this, the possible enormous trouble brought by the death of Huaa Wushuang had always been lingering in Ye Zhen’s mind.

There was no way around it. As long as Huaa Wushuang died, everyone would instinctively suspect Ye Zhen. If Huaa Wushuang did not die, his firm resolve to kill Ye Zhen in order to regain his dignity would also pose a huge problem for Ye Zhen.

Dead or alive, Huaa Wushuang was a considerable hassle, but Ye Zhen preferred a problem he could control; hence, Huaa Wushuang died.

With the death of Huaa Wushuang, the looming shadow of the gargantuan Tiannan Huaa Family was like a mountain pressing down on Ye Zhen’s head.

But now, Ye Zhen had found an opportunity to resolve this issue!

After pondering for a while, Ye Zhen mulled over his plan meticulously several times before temporarily storing Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s corpse in a storage ring.

This plan required thorough arrangements and careful step-by-step execution by Ye Zhen. For now, what Ye Zhen needed to do was explore this Secret Realm Gate.

Meow!

In the sky, Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten made a light cry, signaling that someone was coming and urging Ye Zhen to hurry and erase all traces here, including the bloodstain left behind from Bu Changtian’s recent killing.

Fighting and killing were normally situations that wouldn’t require any cover-up from Ye Zhen. But, with a plan that could help Ye Zhen escape the shadows of the Tiannan Huaa Family, he had no choice but to proceed with caution.

"Brother Ye?"

Seeing Ye Zhen, Mo Xinsui, the Young Master of Hidden God Manor, could only smile bitterly. He had hoped that witnessing the anomaly would yield some gains, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhen had already arrived before him.

"Explore together?"

Mo Xinsui tentatively asked.

"What do you think?"

With Ye Zhen’s response, Mo Xinsui’s frustration was evident, and, looking helplessly at the sky, he sighed inwardly and left the place.

Unfortunately, there were no dark clouds in the sky.

With a wave of his hand, Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten turned into the size of a fist and burrowed into Ye Zhen’s arms, and with a turn, Ye Zhen stepped into the swirling black vortex of a gate.

As Ye Zhen’s figure vanished into the black vortex, Mo Xinsui appeared from behind a distant hill, looking at the vortex that disappeared along with Ye Zhen, and his dejection was complete.

"Indeed, just as my family’s records state, if a Secret Realm Gate appears within the Black Dragon Secret Palace, only one person can enter or exit... Unfortunately, I can only look for other opportunities now!"

Sighing once more, Mo Xinsui reluctantly departed, and this time, he truly left.

Roar!

A dragon roar that shook the soul resounded once again.

As the dragon roar echoed, Ye Zhen did not rush to survey his surroundings but instead looked at the black Stone Bead in his storage ring to see if it would trigger a magma storm.

Fortunately, the dragon roar did not induce a magma storm from the black Stone Bead, but it did cause the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to roll its eyes and faint once more.

Within the Secret Realm, a Black Dragon was fiercely battling a three-headed monster. When one of the monster’s heads charged forward, a mountain was instantly shattered, and with blood light flashing, it ferociously struck at the Black Dragon.

Swiping with claws, swinging its tail, and lunging forward, the Black Dragon executed these three movements as if they were one fluid action, causing two of the monster’s heads to immediately shatter.

"Roar!"

The three-headed monster let out an enraged roar. With blood light surging around it, a blood-red beam shot out like a crossbow arrow towards the Black Dragon, and from its gaping maw, rivers of blood flooded towards the Black Dragon like a deluge.

Blazing Flames erupted from the Dragon’s mouth, turning the blood river into a dry inferno, and once again the Black Dragon’s figure lunged towards the three-headed monster, employing the same claw swipe, tail swing, and lunge – and another head was destroyed.

"What is this..."

As Ye Zhen thought, the scene shattered abruptly, and then the same scene played out again. The Black Dragon and the three-headed monster reenacted the same battle, with the same three moves.

"Is this a Martial Skill?"

As Ye Zhen’s thoughts stirred, he activated all of his Divine Soul Power, earnestly observing and comprehending the battle in the sky.

This scene was somewhat similar to the one in Floating Cloud Cave where Ye Zhen learned the Floating Cloud Finger, but it lacked the clarity and straightforwardness of the Floating Cloud Secret Realm, making it extremely abstruse to learn from.

Ye Zhen didn’t know how long he watched, with his eyes growing sore from concentration, when suddenly everything blurred. The majestic Black Dragon with two horns on its head seemed to transform into a vaguely-faced black-robed Martial Artist before Ye Zhen’s eyes.

The trajectory of the punches suddenly became crystal clear in Ye Zhen’s vision, and as he immersed himself in detailed contemplation, complex Cultivation Routes also emerged from the black-robed Martial Artist.

Instantly, a strange and very obscure instructive voice, along with the black-robed Martial Artist’s punches, echoed in Ye Zhen’s mind.

Black Dragon Tail Swing!

Black Dragon Divine Claw!

Black Dragon Tyrant Fist!
