Originally, Xiahou Lei was entirely consumed by rage, having completely lost his mind, with only one thing on his mind: to kill Ye Chen.

But at this moment, he suddenly became sober.

Because the combat power Ye Chen displayed was truly terrifying, even he felt a strong sense of fatal threat.

"It's the Transformation Realm of Profound Level Martial Arts, how is this possible?" Xiahou Lei was covered in goosebumps, feeling an intense chill down his spine.

Even as a prodigy with Earth Level Ninth Grade Bloodline, he still couldn't cultivate a single lower grade Profound Level martial art to the Transformation Realm.

Because achieving this step is extremely difficult, requiring exceptionally high martial arts talent.

Yet Ye Chen, this so-called waste who couldn't even awaken his bloodline, at such a young age, has cultivated a lower grade Profound Level martial art to the Transformation Realm.

It's simply like an impossible dream.

With a loud bang.

While Xiahou Lei was in disbelief, Ye Chen's fist suddenly pierced through the body of the Golden Patterned Thunder Flood Dragon, leaving seven or eight massive fist holes on it, almost splitting it in half.

Ah!

A heartrending, horrific scream immediately echoed from Xiahou Lei's mouth, sending chills down the spines of everyone who heard it.

Though his body was shielded by the Golden Patterned Thunder Flood Dragon, he was severely countered by the bloodline power, his entire body's meridians were shattered.

Even on his internal organs appeared massive cracks, with fresh blood continuously sputtering from his mouth.

Subsequently, he struggled on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes filled with deep horror and despair.

"No, this can't be true. How could Senior Brother Xiahou lose to this waste? I must be dreaming." The two students from the Red Flame Academy stood frozen, as if struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, unable to believe their eyes.

"How could this happen? How can a waste who couldn't even awaken his bloodline cultivate a lower grade Profound Level martial art to the Transformation Realm?" Lu Cheng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, shocked to the extreme.

It's well known that a cultivator's bloodline can significantly enhance the cultivation of certain attribute martial arts.

The stronger the bloodline, the greater the enhancement.

For strong individuals like Lu Cheng on the Hidden Dragon List, it's their bloodlines that have been crucial in their early cultivation of martial arts to the Transformation Realm.

But Ye Chen, who couldn't even awaken his bloodline, managed to accomplish what even Xiahou Lei couldn't.

Just how advanced must his martial arts talent be?

"He won, this waste actually won. Oh heavens, why are you so unfair?" At this moment, Lin Man's face looked worse than a corpse, her teeth clenched, eyes filled with intense unwillingness.

She originally thought this troublemaker Ye Chen would undoubtedly die at Xiahou Lei's hands, without the slightest suspense.

But the outcome was entirely different from her expectations.

Why, even the heavens seemed to help this troublemaker Ye Chen?

Despite all the lives he ruined, why does he continue to survive?

Swish.

At this moment, Ye Chen flickered and appeared before Xiahou Lei, lifting him from the ground as if he were a chick.

"Ye Chen, what do you intend to do? I am the first genius of the younger generation of the Xiahou family. If you dare to kill me, not even the heavens or the earth can save you." Xiahou Lei said angrily to Ye Chen, his eyes filled with rage and humiliation.

To think he, ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon List, would lose to this waste Ye Chen.

To him, it's a lifetime of unerasable shame.

Yet he didn't believe Ye Chen dared to kill him.

Because he is the most favored son of Xiahou Family Patriarch Xiahou Ying, and his sister, Xiahou Ting, is already an Inner Sect Disciple of the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

If Ye Chen dared to kill him, no one in this world could save Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, how dare you! Release Senior Brother Xiahou at once. Do you know who Senior Brother Xiahou's sister is?" one student from the Red Flame Academy reprimanded Ye Chen.

"I don't care who she is. If she dares to provoke me, she'll meet the same fate," Ye Chen replied with a cold smile, his tone overwhelmingly domineering.

"Hmph! Truly, ignorance is bliss. Ye Chen, don't think that defeating Brother Xiahou makes you invincible. In the face of Immortals in the Divine Mansion Realm, you're no different from an ant! And Senior Brother Xiahou's sister is one of those Immortals in the Azure Sky Immortal Sect. If you harm Senior Brother Xiahou, there's only one fate for you: death! I advise you to release Senior Brother Xiahou and then kneel to beg for his forgiveness. Maybe that way, you can save your pathetic life," Lu Cheng said, his lips curled into a mocking smile, his tone filled with threats.

Indeed, Ye Chen's strength is undeniably strong.

But before the Immortal experts in the Divine Mansion Realm, he's nothing.

In the Divine Mansion Realm, Immortals not only have developed mana but also mastered True Intent.

No matter how Ye Chen has cultivated a lower grade Profound Level martial art to the Transformation Realm, in front of them, it is nothing but a joke.

What could he possibly use to fight against the Immortal experts of the Divine Mansion Realm?

"You reckless mongrel, did you hear me? Let me go immediately, and all grudges between us can be wiped clean. Otherwise, wait for my sister to kill you!" Xiahou Lei said with an incredibly arrogant tone, exuding an air of entrenched confidence.

"Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" Ye Chen's right hand suddenly curled with strength, viciously squeezing Xiahou Lei's throat.

"No, how dare you?" Xiahou Lei's face suddenly changed, his expression filled with extreme horror.

A sharp cracking sound echoed.

The next moment, his neck was entirely snapped by Ye Chen, killing him instantly.

Before he died, his eyes were wide open, filled with deep disbelief.

He truly hadn't anticipated that Ye Chen would actually dare to kill him.

"Dead? Xiahou Lei is dead? Ye Chen, you madman, prepare to bear the wrath of the Xiahou Family; no one in this world can save you." Lu Cheng couldn't help but gasp, shouting at Ye Chen hysterically.

He truly couldn't understand why Ye Chen dared to take the life of Xiahou Lei.

Could it be that he truly didn't understand the vast gap between himself and an Immortal's power?

Who on earth gave him the courage to do this?

"Ye Chen, you're doomed."

"Brother Xiahou's sister will definitely not let you go, just wait to die." The two students from Red Flame Academy said to Ye Chen in a fierce yet timid manner.

Swish.

Immediately after, they pushed their Celestial Spirit Activation to its limit, trying to flee the hall.

If Ye Chen dared to kill Xiahou Lei, he'd kill them without a second thought.

If they didn't leave now, they might also die at the hands of this madman.

"Did I say you could leave?" At that moment, terrifying cold light shot out from Ye Chen's eyes, like a Death God descending.

The two students from Red Flame Academy hadn't attacked him, but they were accomplices of Xiahou Lei.

Therefore, Ye Chen wouldn't let them go today.

Ah!

At this moment, a piercing scream suddenly erupted from one of the students' mouths, chilling to the core.

This student was the first to reach the door of the hall.

However, before he could pass through the door, an eerie cyan light struck his forehead, instantly reducing him to a corpse.

Before he died, his eyes were wide open, filled with intense fear, as if his entire soul had been extracted.

"No! No!" The other student trembled uncontrollably, his face filled with extreme terror, as if marked by the Death God.

Thud.

The next moment, an eerie cyan light appeared before him without warning and pierced his forehead.

Ah!

He didn't even have the slightest ability to resist and was killed by the cyan light, dying in an extremely gruesome manner, identical to the first student.

"That strange power is here; we're doomed, all of us." Lu Cheng's mouth released a desperate howl, his body retreating constantly.

He had been in this palace for so many days, aware of the eerie power slaughtering the cultivators here.

Even the top ten on the Hidden Dragon List had two people who died under this eerie power.

So once targeted by this eerie power, chances of survival were slim.

"What's happening? Why did they suddenly die?" Even Ye Chen's face turned extremely grave, his brows tightly furrowed.

Even he couldn't see what had killed the two Red Flame Academy students just now.

"Ye Chen, we're doomed, no matter how strong you are, you can't withstand that power, and this is your retribution as a worthless waste." Lu Cheng glared at Ye Chen with extreme venom, speaking through clenched teeth.

If Ye Chen hadn't opened the Carefree Wanderer's treasure house, they wouldn't be trapped here, nor would they face this eerie power.

This was all Ye Chen's fault.

So, even if he died, he wanted to drag Ye Chen down with him.

Fortunately, the heavens had eyes, and Ye Chen, the real culprit, was being targeted by that eerie power too.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn't escape this calamity.

"My retribution?" Ye Chen's eyes were filled with deep confusion, completely unaware of what Lu Cheng was talking about.

Because, until now, he didn't know an eerie power existed in this palace, slaughtering the cultivators.
