Chapter 905: Chapter 904: Forced to the Brink of Death

"In the dictionary of mine, Ye Tianchen, there are no words for surrender!" Ye Tianchen declared resolutely.

"Then become a puddle of mud!" the dwarf old man shouted, his palm powerfully suppressing downwards.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, if this continued, he might truly be slapped to death by the dwarf old man’s palm. At the moment, he activated a pure Martial Arts True Power from within his dantian and unleashed another "Overlord Fist," striking back fiercely.

The two "Overlord Fists" stacked together managed to momentarily block the descending palm power of the dwarf old man. Taking advantage of this brief moment, Ye Tianchen escaped the shock kill of the dwarf old man. Such an application of a Martial Arts Divine Skill was something he experienced from the Yijin Jing spell, capable of stacking the power of moves. It was a novel and powerful Martial Arts Divine Skill that Ye Tianchen was using for the first time.

The dwarf old man furrowed his brow, truly not expecting Ye Tianchen would know such a divine skill, and simultaneously laughed maniacally with excitement, saying, "Great, great, the more surprises you give me, the more I’ll gain after killing you. This is truly wonderful!"

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen dodged aside. The dwarf old man was formidable, and in this first layer of the Flame Valley, a formation was set up. In here, he acted with complete freedom, while Ye Tianchen was passively enduring the blows, not even on a fair battle line. Thus, choosing to fight to the death with the dwarf old man at this time was utterly foolish.

However, what made Ye Tianchen feel strange was whether the Blood Killing Organization only sent this dwarf old man. It’s not to say that the dwarf old man wasn’t strong enough, nor that Ye Tianchen overestimated himself, but the Blood Killing Organization was a long-standing evil organization. Not only did he kill five of the Blood Killing Organization’s seed candidates, but he also completely destroyed their temporary base in the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World. This was something the arrogant Blood Killing Organization absolutely couldn’t tolerate, so why would they only send the dwarf old man to kill him? Could there be some hidden conspiracy?

Clink, clink, it was the sound of chains. In the dwarf old man’s hand appeared an iron chain as thick as an arm, radiating a mysterious power. When the iron chain appeared in the dwarf old man’s hand, it gave Ye Tianchen a feeling of locking down heaven and earth. The origin of this chain was surely not simple.

"This is the Divine-locking Chain, used to deal with you, kid. You should feel proud. But I must remind you, once this Divine-locking Chain binds you, no one can save you. It can not only bind a person’s physical body but also their soul, manipulating them at will. At any time, it can burn the divine rune power on the chain, turning the bound person to ashes in an instant!" the dwarf old man said confidently.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, he could naturally feel the powerful strength of the Divine-locking Chain. This dwarf old man was too formidable. Now, trying to escape was impossible. The best plan was to ensure his safety first and then find a way out.

Gradually, Ye Tianchen calmed his mind, unhurriedly observing the dwarf old man, walking in different steps. Each step he took sparked a flurry of sparks beneath his feet, like flowers of flame blooming, causing the dwarf old man to furrow his brow, unsure of what kind of Martial Arts Divine Skill Ye Tianchen was about to display.

Soon, flowers of flame floated around Ye Tianchen’s body. These flowers looked extraordinarily beautiful, possessing the magic power to burn everything in the world. This sight shocked the dwarf old man because these flames encircled Ye Tianchen’s entire body, yet he wasn’t burned to death. How was this possible?

Boom!

At the same time, thousands of such flame flowers simultaneously shot toward the dwarf old man, startling him. He never imagined Ye Tianchen could freely manipulate the flames within the Flame Valley, something even he couldn’t do, let alone have the courage to touch. How did Ye Tianchen manage this?

Clink, clink!

The sound of the Divine-locking Chain, the dwarf old man naturally wouldn’t sit still awaiting death. He quickly activated the divine rune power of the Divine-locking Chain, scattering each flame flower into ashes, yet an endless stream of flames continued to surge forth.

"One flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi!"

Ye Tianchen murmured to himself, reciting the spell of the Yijin Jing. This was a profound Buddhist Holy Skill. Every leaf, every flower, constituted a world of its own, possessing a sense of creation. The divine skill Ye Tianchen was using at that moment was an evolution of such an advanced spell, utilizing the powerful flames within the Flame Valley to counter the dwarf old man. It was an excellent method to leverage external forces.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

As sparks dashed towards the dwarf old man, when Ye Tianchen once again activated the Martial Arts Divine Skill, they surprisingly transformed into waves of palm force, striking at the dwarf old man. The dwarf old man was momentarily stunned by Ye Tianchen’s peculiar Divine Skill, retreating while using the Divine-locking Chain to disperse these palm forces.

There is no denying that the Divine-locking Chain held by the dwarf old man is extremely powerful, especially with the mysterious Divine Rune on it. Every time the sparks were about to hit him, it could disperse a force that shattered the sparks. It’s really intriguing what the origin of this Divine-locking Chain is.

"The Great Compassionate Thousand Leaf Hand, the mighty legacy of Yijin Jing, indeed you possess it—it’s so great, so great!" the dwarf old man exclaimed excitedly.

"Shut up, you old bastard!" Ye Tianchen cursed fiercely.

At this point, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but swear; the combat power of this dwarf old man is truly formidable. All his attempts and methods failed to defeat him or escape this formation. It’s terribly bad now; if he continues fighting here, sooner or later he will be killed.

Woosh!

There was no time for Ye Tianchen to think further as the dwarf old man went berserk, using his powerful Divine Skills to instantly obliterate the patches of sparks. A formidable black force shook out from the Divine-locking Chain, sweeping towards Ye Tianchen, attempting to bind him.

Ye Tianchen was startled, quickly deploying the Divine Movement Skill to dodge, but the Divine-locking Chain seemed to lock onto his aura, following closely without any delay. This Divine-locking Chain is very similar to the Jade Rope held by Hu Gao—extremely powerful, capable of trapping or killing a person.

Pa!

The Divine-locking Chain shook out a massive force, flinging Ye Tianchen far away. Ye Tianchen flew into the air, with the entrance to the second layer of Flame Valley behind him. Just reaching there, Ye Tianchen’s upper body was ignited, and in a moment, his clothes turned to ashes. Shocked, Ye Tianchen quickly expelled Martial Arts True Power from his Dantian to protect himself. The difference between the first layer and second layer of the Fire Domain within Flame Valley is really a world apart. He accidentally flew to the second layer’s entrance without even entering; just feeling its aura nearly reduced him to ashes.

"You little brat, you have no way out. You either hand over the Cultivation Treasure Book and treasures or let my Divine-locking Chain drive you into the second layer of the Fire Domain to perish—choose for yourself." the dwarf old man said coldly, staring at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen frowned, as at this moment, the Divine-locking Chain had surrounded him. It’s an immensely powerful treasure, at least wielding the strength of an early-stage Martial Saint’s treasure. Ye Tianchen was unable to repel it, and behind him was the entrance to the second layer of Flame Valley’s Fire Domain. Just standing at the entrance made him feel he might be burned to ashes—there’s no way he’d dare to enter. That would be suicide.

But there was no retreat possible, so biting his teeth, Ye Tianchen’s whole body suddenly emanated a golden force, with the Great Achievement Realm of the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill" enveloping him. Before the dwarf old man could react, Ye Tianchen ultimately charged into the second layer of Flame Valley’s Fire Domain. At the instant he rushed in, his whole body seemed to ignite, turning into a fireman, melting away as if, dying at the entrance of the second layer’s Fire Domain.

The dwarf old man was startled, hastily heading towards the entrance with the Divine-locking Chain in hand. However, just arriving at the second layer’s entrance, a powerful flame oppressed him, burning him all over. It hurt so much that the old man screamed endlessly, regretting deeply, quickly pulling out a bead from his bosom, releasing a strong, soul-freezing force to extinguish the flames on him. The dwarf old man, burned dark like a pig, shook with rage, daring only to vent his anger within the first layer of the Fire Domain.

"You brat, dying like this is truly a pity. No one other than Fang Zheng the old monk has dared enter the second layer of the Fire Domain within the entire Earth Ancient Martial World over these hundreds of years. They’ve been reduced to ashes just at the entrance—a hateful waste of the Cultivation Treasure Book and treasures!" the dwarf old man cursed loudly.

At this time, within the second layer of Flame Valley’s Fire Domain, a shadow lay on the ground, barely breathing, its whole body seemed burnt, with flesh and bones clearly visible, as if separated by flames, set to swallow them whole.

"I cannot die, I cannot die here. There are so many things waiting for me to do—not my friends, my family, my ideals—what do I do?" (To be continued.
