The powerful force crashed against the barrier at the summit of Lingyun Mountain, the booming sound echoing endlessly.

Ye Chen, however, focused intently, continuing to polish his sword, unaffected in the slightest.

A moment later.

Accompanied by a loud bang, a unique wave spread; Ye Chen knew that someone had already broken through the barrier.

But the summit of Lingyun Mountain was quite vast.

The spot where the barrier was breached was still quite a distance from Ye Chen, so he paid it no attention and laid the cloth used to polish the Celestial Mark Sword aside.

He grasped the sword and stood up.

Before long.

The barrier at the summit was breached again.

The location was much closer to Ye Chen, and after a total of six people entered, they quickly spotted Ye Chen and rushed toward him!

"It seems the information was accurate; all the good things at the summit were taken by you alone, Ye Chen. Hand over all you gained from the summit!" shouted a man.

Another woman followed, shouting, "Everyone now knows you took all the good things from the summit. When the others arrive, they won't spare you either. By handing over your gains to us, you're saving yourself. We're from the Great Qin Dynasty's Celestial Cold Martial Arts Academy; once we speak, the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Ming Dynasty, and even the Great Shang Dynasty won't target you anymore!"

"Ye Chen, I believe you're a smart person and should know what choice to make!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I've always known what choice to make."

"Then hand over the goods!"

Ye Chen looked at the leading man, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He then executed the Vertical Earth Golden Light of the Heaven-Ascending Step, suddenly rushing forward, slashing with his sword, the sun and moon appearing within the sword light, yin and yang cycling, awe-inspiring in might.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen's sword instantly reached the man's front, and the sun and moon exploded, reducing the man to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"If you want my things, then you better see if you have the ability to take my sword!" Ye Chen shouted coldly, his Invincible Sword stance already blooming, battle intent soaring skyward, like an undefeated War God!

"Ignorant fool, then die!"

The woman who had spoken earlier shouted fiercely. Immediately, silver light flashed between her brows, and five silver Earth Spirit Seal projections flew out, merging into a giant net, attempting to cover Ye Chen's head!

The other four also rushed out, attacking Ye Chen.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, the four golden spirit seals within his sea of consciousness also channeling power externally, transforming into a brilliant golden giant sword that instantly sliced through that silver net.

The woman grunted, blood spurting from her seven orifices!

She knew Ye Chen was a fourth-level Extreme Celestial Seal Spirit Master...but merely early-stage fourth-level at that. She originally thought she could suppress Ye Chen with her top-tier fifth-level Earth Spirit Seal, but...how could Ye Chen be just early-stage fourth-level; this was clearly fourth-level peak Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal!

The golden giant sword continued to slash toward the woman.

Simultaneously, within his sea of consciousness, he gathered large amounts of spiritual power, pouring it out through his brow.

Spirit Wave Impact!

The four who charged at Ye Chen were already somewhat affected by Ye Chen's Invincible Sword stance. They were further shaken by Ye Chen's Spirit Wave Impact, destabilizing their sea of consciousness, causing their unleashed powers to go awry, their movements becoming sluggish, exposing countless deadly flaws!

Ye Chen's silhouette flashed, reaching the four, sweeping a sword horizontally.

Blazing flames seemed to engulf the sky.

Heaven-Burning Sword!

The four were engulfed by the sea of fire, their miserable screams sounding in succession.

Soon after, four blood-soaked figures shot out from the sea of fire, fleeing in different directions.

Ye Chen flicked his wrist, the sword light entangled like countless threads.

Under the Wood Extreme Thousand Entwined Sword, all four fleeing figures were ensnared.

Ye Chen's silhouette flashed repeatedly, felling each with a sword.

In an instant.

Only the fifth-level top-tier Earth Seal Spirit Master remained on the scene.

The woman was already quite battered.

First, her spirit technique was broken, blood flowing from her seven orifices. Then, even though she blocked a slash from Ye Chen's golden giant sword, the terrifying force still tore her skin and flesh apart, displacing her organs.

The woman looked at Ye Chen, her eyes full of the great terror that lies between life and death.

Most people's knowledge of Ye Chen is still stuck at the time of the Great Zhou Martial Arts Academy's grand competition. After all, the competition concluded barely half a month ago.

Just half a month, a short time for anyone to improve, and not much at that.

But Ye Chen's strength had undergone a revolutionary change in this half month, incredibly strong.

"Ye Chen, the principal of the Celestial Cold Martial Arts Academy of the Great Qin Dynasty is my master's master. Spare me, and I will remember this favor!"

"No need!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, golden light flickering underfoot, already standing before the woman. A Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword thrust swiftly, piercing a hole through her head!

The battle ended, and Ye Chen glanced at the surrounding corpses, collecting the six Storage Rings.

"Cangxing Martial Arts Academy's Ye Chen, truly strong." At this time, a voice rang out.

Ye Chen looked toward the direction of the voice, seeing a pretty boy, waving a folding fan, standing not far away with three formidable women behind him.

"Pretty boy, you want to try?" Ye Chen's gaze held a hint of severity; this pretty boy's power, observed through his Martial Arts True Eye, though not as strong as Thousand Spirits Sect's Shen Jie, was still stronger than Li Tianyi of the Great Zhou Dynasty Sect Alliance!

A very troublesome character.

The man, called pretty boy by Ye Chen, didn't mind, saying, "Don't worry about me, I'm just watching. I couldn't beat you, having seen what you did to Shen Jie from the Thousand Spirits Sect."

"If you make a move, with you and me, it'll be a fight to the death!" Ye Chen shouted coldly. Since this pretty boy didn't want to act for now, there was no need for him to engage.

Ye Chen speculated that this guy might not be from the other three dynasties either, possibly from a major force in Cangzhou like Shen Jie.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has ties to the Thousand Spirits Sect, and behind other dynasties, similar relations might exist to some degree.

The barrier at the summit, having been breached several times, appeared increasingly weak, more and more people rushing up.

All those who reached the summit gathered around Ye Chen, surrounding him completely.

The Great Qin, Great Shang, and Great Ming dynasties, fifty places in total; Ye Chen killed five. A pretty boy with three women stood watching not far. Considering the infighting within the three dynasties that had already claimed some lives, there were now thirty-four people surrounding Ye Chen!

These thirty-four were the top prodigies under thirty from the three dynasties.

Facing such a multitude of prodigies, Ye Chen's face showed only calmness.

An aura of 'Though a thousand men challenge me, I'll march on' emanated from him.

With a sword in hand, even the world as his enemy, what was there to fear!
