Low-grade spiritual artifacts are crafted from extremely rare refining materials, capable of easily cutting through even the toughest metals, let alone flesh and bone.

Although Ye Chen has cultivated the Human Emperor Body to the First Level of Foundation Establishment Realm, his physical body still cannot compare to these metals, and naturally, he cannot withstand the attacks of a low-grade spiritual artifact.

If he's accidentally hit at a vital spot by a low-grade spiritual artifact, he could be in mortal danger at any moment.

"Ye Chen, let me see how you plan to rescue your adoptive father and mother with your pathetic strength, Gale Sword Technique." At that moment, the black-robed elder's eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying glint, his lips curled in a deep, mocking smile.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The next moment, he waved the low-grade spiritual artifact in his hand, unleashing two extremely sharp sword auras that whizzed towards Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.

Each of these sword auras was three to four zhang long, taller than a two-story building if erected, making Ye Chen seem as insignificant as an ant before them.

Moreover, they moved at incredible speed, tearing through the air with a piercing sound.

These were unleashed using the black-robed elder's Yellow Level Lower Grade Martial Arts "Gale Sword Technique," which had reached the Perfection Realm, its power terrifyingly potent.

Furthermore, this sword technique was performed with a low-grade spiritual artifact, making its power even greater, so much so that even a strong cultivator like Ye Kun at the Fourth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm would struggle to withstand it, let alone Ye Ming and Xiao Hui.

Clearly, the black-robed elder intended to slaughter Ye Chen's adoptive father and mother in front of him, to make Ye Chen experience the pain of losing his loved ones.

As for Ye Chen, he wasn't in a hurry to kill him.

In his eyes, Ye Chen was just a stronger ant, something he could crush at any time.

"Old bastard, don't even think about it." Ye Chen's eyes turned blood-red, and a furious roar erupted from his mouth.

He absolutely would not allow anyone to harm his adoptive father and mother.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

The next instant, a surging purple cold qi burst out from Ye Chen's body, surging towards the two sword auras like a tidal wave.

Wherever this purple cold qi passed, all the grass and trees were frozen into ice sculptures, and even the ground was covered with a thick layer of frost, as if a harsh winter had arrived.

Bang bang bang.

In an instant, the purple cold qi fiercely collided with the two sword auras, producing a thunderous boom.

Soon after, the two sword auras froze in mid-air, unable to cut through the purple cold qi, as if trapped in a quagmire, unable to move even an inch.

"What?" The black-robed elder couldn't help but cry out in shock, his eyes fixed on the purple cold qi, filled with disbelief.

He originally thought that the sword auras he unleashed would easily kill Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, plunging Ye Chen into deep pain and despair.

But the scene before him was completely beyond his expectations.

"Blocked it, the power of Exquisite Purple Ice is indeed strong, but unfortunately, I've exposed the Exquisite Purple Ice, making it impossible to launch a surprise attack now." Ye Chen said with a frown.

Buzz.

At this moment, above his palm floated a thumb-sized purple crystal stone, emitting dazzling divine light, like a mini sun.

This crystal stone was the Exquisite Purple Ice.

Just now, in order to save his adoptive father and mother, Ye Chen was forced to unleash the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice.

Otherwise, with his strength, it would have been impossible to block those two sword auras."

"Could that be a legendary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object?" The black-robed elder's eyes were fixed on the Exquisite Purple Ice above Ye Chen's palm, his expression extremely shocked, his breathing becoming rapid.

Although he had never seen a true Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, he had seen numerous records about them in books.

The Exquisite Purple Ice in Ye Chen's palm, regardless of its form or its emitted aura, was very similar to the legendary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.

Yet, even in the entire Celestial Flame Dynasty, not a single piece of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object could be found. It was said that only some super forces in the Southern Heaven Domain possessed such secret treasures.

Where exactly did Ye Chen obtain it?

"Master, you currently cannot fully harness the true power of the Exquisite Purple Ice. Only cultivators who have stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm and developed mana can unleash its true potential! Now that you've exposed the Exquisite Purple Ice, it will be difficult to kill him." The Tower Spirit couldn't help but sigh.

If Ye Chen had chosen to be more discreet and unleashed the power of Exquisite Purple Ice while the black-robed elder was unprepared, he might have been able to kill him in one go.

But now, the black-robed elder knew he possessed the Exquisite Purple Ice, making any further sneak attacks nearly impossible.

"If I hadn't acted, my adoptive father and mother would already be dead." Ye Chen was not the least bit remorseful.

His adoptive father and mother had cared for him to the utmost throughout the years, treating him as their own flesh and blood.

To stand by and watch them be killed would be no different than being an animal.

"Forget it, now I can only try using the Exquisite Purple Ice to suppress his Gang Qi; perhaps the master still has a sliver of hope to defeat him." The Tower Spirit said gravely.

Exquisite Purple Ice, as one of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects on the Earth Spirit List, possesses incredibly terrifying power.

Even if Ye Chen cannot unleash its true power, he can use it to suppress the Black-robed Elder's Gang Qi.

This is Ye Chen's only hope for victory.

"For my adoptive father and mother, I absolutely cannot lose." Ye Chen gritted his teeth, a fierce fighting spirit surging throughout his entire being.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, his figure flickered, leaving an afterimage in place as he swept toward the Black-robed Elder like a gust of wind.

"You little brat, die! This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object belongs to me." The Black-robed Elder's expression turned vicious, with a fierce greed glinting in his eyes.

Now, he had no interest in toying with Ye Chen any longer.

That Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object was far too tempting for him.

At this moment, he just wanted to kill Ye Chen immediately and seize the Exquisite Purple Ice from him.

With this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, he not only hoped to become a Qi Dao Grandmaster, but also to leave the Celestial Flame Dynasty and become a legendary Immortal.

The thought of this filled him with immense excitement.

Swish, swish, swish.

In a flash of lightning, the Gang Qi around the Black-robed Elder gathered on his Black Battle Sword, slashing toward Ye Chen with five extremely sharp Golden Sword Auras.

Each of these Golden Sword Auras was four to five zhang long, far more terrifying than the previous two Sword Auras blocked by the purple Cold Qi.

Even a powerhouse of the Sixth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm would not dare to take them lightly.

This was the true strength of the Black-robed Elder.

To quickly kill Ye Chen, he had no reservations about using his power.

Boom, boom, boom.

Instantly, a series of piercingly sharp breaking sounds echoed through the air, so loud they shook the surrounding trees until they trembled.

The places where the five Golden Sword Auras passed were sliced open, creating waves of snow-white air, a truly terrifying sight.

"What terrifying power." Even Ye Chen couldn't help but gasp, his expression becoming extremely serious.

At this moment, he deeply felt the gap between himself and the Black-robed Elder.

The opponent was definitely just toying with him before.

Otherwise, even if he cultivated the Human Emperor Body to the First Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would have been no match at all.

"Block it for me." Just as the five Golden Sword Auras appeared above Ye Chen, the Exquisite Purple Ice floating above his palm suddenly unleashed a mighty surge of purple Cold Qi.

This purple Cold Qi was so dense it almost turned to liquid, enveloping a radius of five zhang.

Whiz, whiz.

In an instant, the five Golden Sword Auras chopped down on the purple Cold Qi, producing deafening noises.

Immediately, cracks began to appear on the protective shield formed by the purple Cold Qi, looking as if it would shatter at any moment.

However, it barely managed to block all five Golden Sword Auras.

"As expected of an Innate Spiritual Object. Even in the hands of a waste like you, it can exhibit such power. If I were to wield it, I might even be able to slay a powerhouse at the Tenth Layer of the Gang Qi Realm." Seeing his killing technique blocked by Ye Chen, the Black-robed Elder was not angry. Instead, his expression turned even more excited.

The more powerful the Innate Spiritual Object Ye Chen obtained, the more it would benefit him once he seized it.

"Old bastard, you nearly got my adoptive mother killed. Today, I will have revenge." Ye Chen's eyes blazed with furious flames, and his voice dropped to an icy tone.

Crackle, crackle.

In the next moment, he activated the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice, clashing with the Gang Qi surrounding the Black-robed Elder.

The two forces seemed to cancel each other out at that moment.

"What? My Gang Qi is being suppressed? No, I must kill this little brat quickly, lest something goes wrong." The Black-robed Elder's face turned extremely grim, a terrifying killing intent surging from his entire being.

He could feel that the Gang Qi surging from within him was being suppressed by the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice by about half.

In other words, he could only exert half of his battle strength at most.

This was definitely not a good thing for him, so he had to end the fight quickly.
