Buzz!

The Holy Heaven Prison trembled slightly, and all of the Slaughter Aura vanished into thin air. Ye Tianchen’s face was pale to the extreme, his eyes incredibly weak as he looked ahead. What lay ahead was a group of vicious wolves, a bunch of despicable scoundrels, a mob of hypocrites, and a horde of martial artists who wanted to devour him alive without leaving a bone. They all wanted to kill him and seize the Cultivation Treasure and Treasures on him.

Once again commanding the "Holy Heaven Prison," Ye Tianchen felt exhausted, as if he were completely hollowed out. There truly was a sense of Martial Arts True Power depletion. He couldn’t help but frown; he had to fight quickly. If things continued like this, he wouldn’t be able to leave Flame Valley alive.

"What a powerful treasure."

"The Holy Heaven Prison is endless in its mystery!"

"Within it lies Chaos Qi, a rarity even in the entire Martial Arts World. Obtaining it would surely enhance one’s battle strength, allowing for a breakthrough in Cultivation Realm."

"Kill, kill this little bastard, the Chaos Qi will be ours..."

Completely insane now, this group of martial artists were envious, watching how Ye Tianchen easily destroyed the Slaughter Aura they had launched using the "Holy Heaven Prison" with incredible delight. Like starving wolves, they surged towards Ye Tianchen, fearful of being one step too slow, allowing others to kill Ye Tianchen first, thereby gaining nothing for themselves.

Of course, only a few were rushing at Ye Tianchen, while others retained their rationality. After all, the "Holy Heaven Prison," hanging above Ye Tianchen’s head, was a powerful and mysterious treasure. Its might and level of prowess were unknown, and rushing at Ye Tianchen might very well result in them being directly Shock Killed by the "Holy Heaven Prison," reduced to nothingness.

"Cough cough... Sneaking advantages will only bring retribution, I no longer have the strength to wield the treasure..."

Ye Tianchen spoke intermittently, his voice weak to the extreme. The Holy Heaven Prison above his head suddenly entered his Dantian, seemingly true, as if Ye Tianchen could no longer muster Martial Arts True Power to command the "Holy Heaven Prison" to slay the crowd.

"This kid barely has any Martial Arts True Power left, kill!"

"Don’t let them get ahead!"

"I’ve been waiting here for days and nights, I can’t just let it go like this."

"Unwilling, they can’t get ahead..."

The remaining martial artists couldn’t hold back any longer. They attacked Ye Tianchen, like hungry tigers rushing at prey, wishing not to be overtaken by the previous martial artists. Hence, with full force, there was no reservation in speed and power.

Over fifty despicable men charged together at him. On Ye Tianchen’s pale face, there was a hint of a smile. As these fifty-plus villains attempted to be the first to kill Ye Tianchen, suddenly, Ye Tianchen struck. A palm-sized gourd flew from his back and shot to his head, facing the crowd with its mouth wide open, already devoid of its lid.

"Hmph, facing death, still struggling in vain, useless."

"Don’t give him a chance, kill him completely."

Ye Tianchen coldly glanced at these fifty-plus men, all despised and shameless opportunists, disgusting to the extreme. Ye Tianchen wouldn’t be courteous, nor would he hold back. His hands formed seals, reciting the spell taught by Tianshuang. Flames surged from the gourd’s mouth, gradually expanding, enveloping all fifty-plus martial artists within.

"What kind of flame is this?"

"Seems powerful."

"Hmph, what to fear, we don’t fear the Fire Seed of the Fire Domain’s first layer in Flame Valley, we’re not afraid of the flames in that broken gourd."

"Ye Tianchen only wants to make a last-ditch struggle, we mustn’t give him the chance, kill him completely..."

Boom! Flames swept, the fire surging from the gourd quickly enveloped the fifty-plus martial artists. Normally, this would be impossible, as among these fifty-plus martial artists, there were experts of Late Stage Martial Venerate cultivation realm. However, because of their carelessness, their wild joy, their despicable shamelessness, wanting to seize Ye Tianchen’s Cultivation Treasure and Treasures while he was weak, led to this scenario. Only when they touched the flame did they realize its might, realizing it was already too late...

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

"My body... my divine thought..."

"No, don’t... I don’t want to die!"

The screams of agony and terror were relentless. Ye Tianchen watched coldly as it all unfolded, simply releasing the flames from the gourd to focus on the center. These more than fifty martial artists all faced death; those caught by the flames met with complete annihilation, both body and divine thought erased.

The gourd Ye Tianchen used was none other than the Fire God Gourd given to him by Tianshuang before he left. As for the flames inside, they were gathered by Ye Tianchen when he stumbled upon a Fire Qilin while entering the second layer of the Fire Domain. He seized flames from the Fire Pond while the Fire Qilin slept. These flames were far more powerful than those of the first layer, strong by more than tenfold, engulfing these unprepared and despicable martial artists. When they touched the fire, no matter what divine skills they used or treasures they had to protect themselves, it was all futile, leading to complete annihilation.

In the blink of an eye, only three or four martial artists surrounded by the flames remained. These few were formidable figures, with cultivation realms at the Late Martial Venerate level, one even a peak expert of this realm. Though not yet reduced to complete annihilation, they were battered and clearly couldn’t hold on much longer.

"Ah... you little brat, you actually pretended to be severely injured to deceive us, thinking you could kill everyone here..."

"That is your own doing, despicable and shameless, trying to kill me when I’m down," Ye Tianchen replied calmly.

"Brother Ye, we bear no grudge against each other; why confront death like this? Why not have a good conversation?"

"Hahahaha, don’t you find your words laughable? Every person here wants to take my life, Ye Tianchen’s life. You’ve waited here for days and nights just to kill me. It’s too late to talk now!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh loudly as he spoke.

"You... hmph, Ye Tianchen, do you think you can kill us like this? These flames may be fierce, but they won’t necessarily kill us three if we charge out. If we break free, your life ends here."

"Really? Once you come out, you intend to kill me. When dealing with contemptible villains, my principle has always been to show no mercy..." Ye Tianchen replied with unwavering confidence.

"What a vicious heart you have; we three will kill you even if it costs our lives!"

"Hmph, a vicious heart you say? Compared to you, I’m nothing in comparison..."

Bang!

Sparks exploded as Ye Tianchen merged his hands, unleashing a surge from the Fire God Gourd. The flames eventually burst open; the remaining three experts of the Late Martial Venerate realm couldn’t escape, unable to withstand the flames from the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley, leaving them utterly annihilated.

After executing these contemptible and shameless pests, Ye Tianchen didn’t pause, promptly leaving Flame Valley for two reasons. First, he was indeed severely wounded; without immediate healing, danger loomed. Second, within the second layer of the Fire Domain, there was a Fire Qilin. Though still in its youth, across Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds, no one could challenge it. Though the juvenile Fire Qilin seemed unwilling to leave the second layer, who could say for certain? If startled and charged out, it would be catastrophic, something Ye Tianchen dared not provoke.

Ye Tianchen charged out of Flame Valley, quickly departing and heading straight to the hidden Heavenly Pit in Desolate Stone Village. His first priority was to heal his wounds and provide Dongfang Meng sufficient time and a suitable environment for recovery. Secondly, he needed to meet Hu Gao to see if he had successfully brought Wuxue and the other eight to the Heavenly Pit. The Ancient Martial World held too many dangers and unknowns, with Wuxue and the others just entering it, having low cultivation realms and unfamiliar with the surroundings. A misstep could lead to disaster.

Covered in blood, Ye Tianchen returned to the Heavenly Pit. Greeting him at the entrance were Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong, both deeply concerned for his safety. After Ye Tianchen had left for the Flame Valley, they waited daily at the entrance of the Heavenly Window, hoping he would return soon.

"Tianchen, are you alright?" Zhang Ruotong hurriedly asked upon seeing Ye Tianchen’s bloodstained body.

"I’m fine, let’s talk inside," Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Returning to the Heavenly Pit, Ye Tianchen hadn’t had the chance to see Hu Gao. Unaware of the situation with the group of eight, he felt his strength waning and could only focus on healing. Dongfang Meng, too, was released from the "Holy Heaven Prison" and began healing independently, with Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong continually by their side.

"Tianchen’s rescue of Dongfang Meng must have been a narrow escape," Zhang Ruotong remarked with some heartache.

Tianshuang glanced at Zhang Ruotong, thought for a moment, and said: "Given his bond with Dongfang Meng, he would brave any peril for her. He values loyalty and emotions deeply." (To be continued.
