Rumble.

In the high sky, terrifying explosions echoed continuously.

This gigantic golden palm, spanning over twenty zhang in length, resembled an ancient divine mountain, pressing down fiercely towards Ye Chen.

Wherever it passed, the air exploded entirely, birthing countless waves of white air.

"Conversion Realm, Zhou Long has already cultivated the 'Celestial Gold Palm' to the Conversion Realm, just one step away from deriving True Intent."

"The power of this strike exceeds the strength of fifty thousand tigers. How could a mere trash at the Second Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm resist it?" The young prodigies of Cang Province sneered one after another, looking at Ye Chen as if they were seeing a dead person.

Zhou Long possessed a foundation five times that of the Sea of Qi, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm, solely relying on the power of celestial spirits to unleash the strength of thirty thousand tigers.

Moreover, he used a profound lower-grade martial art at the Conversion Realm, so the force he unleashed already exceeded the strength of fifty thousand tigers.

And Ye Chen? He was just a waste who had barely stepped into the Second Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm.

With what was he going to counter Zhou Long?

"Such petty tricks, daring to display them in front of me? Fierce Sun True Intent." A cold smile flashed across Ye Chen's lips as he activated the Fierce Sun True Intent with a thought.

Buzz!

In the next moment, a dazzling golden sun burst forth from his Myriad Dao Space, entwining his fist as it shot towards the gigantic golden palm.

It must be said, Zhou Long's strength was truly terrifying.

He hadn't even used the power of his bloodline, yet was already on par with a strongman like Xiahou Lei.

No wonder he was so arrogant, not even putting Ye Chen in his eyes.

However, Ye Chen was not someone that could be easily crushed like a soft persimmon.

At this moment, he not only unleashed the Fierce Sun True Intent but also activated the Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern and the First Layer of the 'Glazed Martial Body,' instantly bursting forth with the power exceeding the strength of sixty thousand tigers.

With a loud bang,

In a flash, Ye Chen's fist fiercely collided with the golden palm, producing a thunderous explosion.

Crack, crack.

Immediately, huge cracks appeared on the golden palm, spreading like a spider web, before completely shattering in the sky, disappearing without a trace.

"True Intent, it's True Intent, how is this possible?" Zhou Long's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with intense shock and disbelief.

He had trained in the 'Celestial Gold Palm' for years, yet had never comprehended the True Intent within.

But now, a mere waste at the Second Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm had actually grasped a True Intent.

How could he accept this?

"No! This is impossible, how could trash like him comprehend True Intent?" Wang Shuang's delicate body shuddered abruptly, her face turning ghostly pale, utterly disbelieving her own eyes.

"Damn it! How can this waste have such a high martial arts talent? Even I haven't comprehended True Intent, yet he managed to do it." Beside her, Ji Cheng's expression froze, his eyes wide open, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Comprehending True Intent is not only the dream of numerous powerful beings in the Mortal Dynasty but even a challenge for geniuses like Ji Cheng and Wang Shuang from the Immortal Clan.

Neither Ji Cheng nor Wang Shuang had grasped True Intent until now.

Yet now, Ye Chen, someone they had never taken seriously, had comprehended True Intent even before them.

To them, this was nothing short of a huge humiliation.

"My God! Am I dreaming? This waste actually unleashed True Intent just now."

"Is this the basis of his arrogance?" The young geniuses watching were all gasping, turning dumbfounded as wooden statues.

Even Huang Yanran and Lin Man, along with others, stood frozen in place, as if struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

"Senior Sister, isn't it impossible to use Secret Treasures here? How can this waste Ye Chen still unleash such powerful force?" A young cultivator from the Celestial Pearl Dynasty trembled as he spoke.

He initially believed that once Ye Chen couldn't use the power of a Secret Treasure, Zhou Long would easily crush him.

But unexpectedly, he still managed to unleash such terrifying force.

This completely overturned his imagination.

"Could the restrictions above this plaza not be activated yet, so this waste can still use the power of Secret Treasures? Yes, it must be like this. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to possess such powerful force." Lin Man couldn't help but speculate.

"Hmph! I didn't expect this waste to be so lucky, encountering the restrictions above the plaza not activated. Otherwise, he would already be dead." Huang Yanran sneered, her face covered in a thick frost.

In her view, the only reason Ye Chen could still unleash such powerful combat strength was because the Secret Treasure on him was still usable.

Otherwise, even if he grasped the Fierce Sun True Intent, he would never be this strong.

All of this was because the Secret Treasure had helped him tremendously.

She truly despised such a waste, who only relied on Secret Treasure.

Without the Secret Treasure, even she could easily crush Ye Chen to death.

"With just this bit of skill, you think you can kill me? Who gave you the courage?" Ye Chen, after dispelling Zhou Long's killing technique, looked at him with a cold smile, his lips full of mockery.

This was his first meeting with Zhou Long, and there was no enmity between them.

Yet, the other party wanted to put him to death.

Therefore, Ye Chen naturally would not be polite to him.

"Hmph! Waste, don't be too complacent too early. So what if you have miraculously grasped a True Intent? Your cultivation is too weak to fully unleash the true power of the True Intent. I will show you what despair truly is." After a brief shock, Zhou Long's expression turned chillingly cold again, his body exuding a terrifying killing intent that made people's hair stand on end.

Roar!

The next moment, a terrifying beast roar emanated from Zhou Long's body, sounding like a shocking thunder, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Soon after, a massive fierce wolf appeared behind Zhou Long.

This fierce wolf was covered in golden dragon scales, and had a pair of dragon horns on its head, appearing eerily strange.

Its blood-red eyes were coldly fixated on Ye Chen, full of ferocity, as if looking at a prey awaiting slaughter.

"It's the Golden Flood Dragon Wolf bloodline. Zhou Long is finally using his true power."

"Who would've thought, this waste Ye Chen could push Zhou Long to this extent. Even if he dies, he can die proudly." The watching young talents laughed coldly, as if enjoying a good show.

It should be noted that the Golden Flood Dragon Wolf bloodline is an Earth Level Seventh Grade bloodline, with terrifying combat power.

And Zhou Long, since childhood, had consumed a large number of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could enhance bloodline concentration, so the concentration of his bloodline was far beyond that of Xiahou Lei and Wang Yang.

Because of this, the power of his Golden Flood Dragon Wolf bloodline was much more terrifying than that of Xiahou Lei and Wang Yang, completely not on the same level.

"Heh! Even if this waste Ye Chen can borrow the power of Secret Treasure, so what? Today, he will still die at Zhou Long's hands. Someone like him, a frog in a well, doesn't understand just how terrifyingly powerful Zhou Long, nurtured by an Immortal Clan, truly is." After seeing Zhou Long use the Golden Flood Dragon Wolf bloodline, Huang Yanran couldn't help but sneer, looking at Ye Chen as if he were a pitiful clown.

Although the Golden Flood Dragon Wolf bloodline Zhou Long awakened couldn't compare to Ye Lin'Er's Phoenix Race bloodline in grade.

His bloodline concentration, however, was much higher than Ye Lin'Er's.

Because of this, his combat strength was even more terrifying than Ye Lin'Er's in the Immortal Secret Realm.

There were even rumors saying he could already contend with Immortal experts who had just stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm.

So, no matter how powerful Ye Chen was, today he was definitely not Zhou Long's match.

"Hmm? Why does this guy's bloodline power feel even stronger than that of that bitch Ye Lin'Er?" Even Ye Chen was taken aback, his expression full of confusion.

Zhou Long awakened only an Earth Level Seventh Grade bloodline, which by rights, should be far inferior to Ye Lin'Er's Ice Phoenix bloodline.

Yet now, the aura emanating from that Golden Flood Dragon Wolf was even stronger than Ye Lin'Er's Ice Phoenix bloodline before she received the Phoenix Race inheritance.

This was truly baffling.

"Master, it's bloodline concentration. Cultivators in the Immortal Realm pay more attention to enhancing the concentration of their bloodline, as the higher the concentration, the greater the power they can wield! And this guy's bloodline concentration far exceeds all the opponents you've encountered before," the Tower Spirit couldn't help explaining to Ye Chen.

"I see." Ye Chen immediately understood.

Back then, when Lu Tong took the Bloodline Pill, his combat strength skyrocketed because the Bloodline Pill could temporarily enhance his bloodline concentration.

And the Zhou Long before him, even without using a Bloodline Pill, had a bloodline concentration much higher than any cultivator in the Mortal Dynasty.

Therefore, it was quite normal for his bloodline power to be so strong.

"Master, don't underestimate cultivators in the Immortal Realm, or you'll suffer a major loss. Don't hold back any longer, quickly finish this guy," the Tower Spirit couldn't help but warn Ye Chen.

"Hmm! I want to see just how strong he really is," Ye Chen replied with a cold smile, his brows brimming with confidence.

At that moment, he finally understood why Zhou Long was so arrogant.

It turns out he did have some grounds for arrogance.

Unfortunately, he encountered Ye Chen.

He simply didn't understand just how terrifying the being he provoked truly was!
