"Hahaha!"

The sound of loud laughter echoed from within the stone gate, followed by the emergence of a towering man with a vertical eye on his forehead, striding out from the gate.

"Celestial Essence Continent, here I come!"

The middle-aged man with the vertical eye took a deep breath, his face displaying an insatiable greed. His hands slowly opened, and a vast power emanated from his palms.

Creatures within a radius of several dozen miles exploded into a mist of blood one after another.

Even the murky river water turned red with blood, the creatures in the water perishing at an incredible speed.

"The human race does not deserve to be the rulers of this world. From now on, everything here will be controlled by our Celestial Eye Race!"

The stone gate shook, and behind it, one figure after another flew out.

At that moment.

"Swish!"

A domineering blade light tore through the sky.

The blade light was brilliant, its momentum fierce, its speed reaching the extreme, and in an instant, it cleaved the middle-aged man with the vertical eye in half.

"Boom!"

The blade light finally landed on the stone gate, shattering it violently. A group of Celestial Eyes that were about to rush out instantly perished by more than half, while a small portion barely survived, albeit severely injured!

The body of the Celestial Eye middle-aged man, split in two by the blade light, quickly reformed. He shouted loudly, "Disperse and retreat. When the Celestial Eye Divine Emperor descends, we will gather and pursue our grand plans together!"

"Tian Bugui of the True Martial Hall is here. Who can escape!"

A thunderous shout resounded from the void, followed by countless blade lights piercing through the spatial barriers, launching a massacre on the retreating Celestial Eye members!

Screams rose and fell continuously, and in the blink of an eye, only two Celestial Eyes were left!

One was the middle-aged man who had come out first.

The other was a young-looking woman dressed differently from the other Celestial Eye members, but she had also been slashed several times and was covered in blood.

"Ninth Princess, it's Tian Bugui from the True Martial Hall. I'll find a way to hold him off."

"Unexpectedly, we caught a big fish today. Even the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race is here; our luck is indeed good," a deep voice rang out. A man in coarse linen clothes, with a sturdy build and a short beard, stepped out of the void, holding a saber.

"Tian Bugui, what's the matter, did only you come from the True Martial Hall?" the middle-aged man from the Celestial Eye Race sneered, a flash of light bursting from the vertical eye on his forehead.

Tian Bugui snorted coldly, saying, "Just me and a blade, more than enough to take care of you wretches!"

"Do you really think we are unprepared? Tian Bugui, today I shall see just how fast your blade truly is!" As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man from the Celestial Eye Race suddenly charged out. The vertical eye on his forehead emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Tian Bugui from the True Martial Hall.

Tian Bugui flicked his hand, his longsword flying out, tearing through the light, slashing towards the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race. Simultaneously, his power condensed into a longsword held in his hand, engaged in battle with the middle-aged man from the Celestial Eye Race.

Facing the longsword flung by Tian Bugui, the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race turned pale. Her hands quickly formed seals, and then a mysterious imprint flew from her hands to defend against Tian Bugui's longsword.

"Boom!"

The imprint shattered.

Tian Bugui's longsword continued to slash towards the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race.

The vertical eye on the Ninth Princess's forehead emitted a silver light, striking Tian Bugui's longsword.

The silver light shattered again.

However, the power of Tian Bugui's flung longsword had been significantly weakened, ultimately only severing one arm of the Ninth Princess before falling to the ground.

"Ninth Princess, the Guiding Array must be set up by you. Hurry and go!"

Engaged in fierce combat with Tian Bugui, the vertical eye on the middle-aged man from the Celestial Eye Race blazed with flames, as he desperately tangled Tian Bugui!

Tian Bugui felt a strong unease in his heart.

It wasn't that he couldn't win, but the trouble was immense!

He underestimated his opponent's strength... now he was entangled, and finishing the kill would take time.

But if the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race escaped, setting up the Guiding Array, the large-scale descent of the Celestial Eye Race would lead to unimaginable consequences!

A sword-shaped jade pendant floated up from the murky river water.

Ye Chen, located within, had been observing the outside situation all along.

Very shocked, very surprised!

He planned to visit the True Martial Hall and unexpectedly encountered a strong member of the True Martial Hall here.

Luo Qingyi had mentioned before that the True Martial Hall had been resisting the alien races' invasion all along, and now he witnessed this scene!

"Aliens have always been hiding in the outer heavens. If they wish to descend into this world, they must traverse extremely vast space, which is very difficult.

But if the aliens set up a Guiding Array in a certain area, it will provide a clear direction for the Outer Heaven aliens and shield them in their long journey across the vast void."

The speaker was Luo Qingyi, and although her tone sounded unemotional, Ye Chen knew Luo Qingyi was quite anxious.

After all, her father was Luo Jiutian, who had fallen defending this world.

Within the human race, Luo Qingyi remained indifferent, fighting among themselves, at the most, just kill!

But now it involved an alien invasion, a completely different matter.

"These aliens are truly hateful," Master Legs cursed, "They covet our world, always wanting to claim it as theirs. Their favorite thing is to enslave humans, slaughter them. Although I had a bad reputation back then, whenever I encountered these alien bastards, there was only one thing to do: fight!

"Especially this Celestial Eye Race, they are the most despicable, their methods extremely ruthless, their race loves nothing more than to eat our human infants. It's infuriating!"

Master Legs never considered himself a good person, but even he harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Celestial Eye Race's conduct!

Ye Chen said, "Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, rest assured, this Celestial Eye Race's Ninth Princess won't escape. I'll kill her!"

With these words, Ye Chen focused his mind and exited from the space within the Sword Tomb.

His body shot up violently from the muddy river water, precisely blocking the escape path of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race.

The Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race, having her arm severed by Tian Bugui and riddled with wounds, was startled by Ye Chen's sudden emergence from the river, halting her forward momentum abruptly.

The next moment, the fear on the Ninth Princess's face vanished, replaced by disdain and ferocity.

"A worthless individual with only Primordial Embryo Realm Cultivation dares to block my way, courting death!"

The Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race let out a cold shout and lunged fiercely at Ye Chen.

The Sword Qi within Ye Chen's body surged violently, sweeping with a single stroke.

This was the strongest move in the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique, the Five Elements Yin Yang Sword!

Now, his spirit seal was gone, and a new Unique Spirit Seal had yet to be forged, so he couldn't unify spirit and martial power.

He couldn't unleash grand moves like the Return of Ten Thousand Swords or Yin Yang Transformation of Sun and Moon, so he could only rely on the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique!

Of course, the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique is still very powerful.

The remaining left arm of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race swung out, mighty power surging, Ye Chen's sword struck against this power, as if striking a thick steel wall.

The flow of yin-yang sword intent neutralized part of the impact, yet Ye Chen's figure was nonetheless sent flying backward uncontrollably.

A trace of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race.

Even though she couldn't even exert half of her strength now, for a clearly newly arrived Primordial Embryo Realm human lad to withstand her strike was indeed quite remarkable.

"Yin-Yang Sword Intent, it seems you must be a top-tier genius of the True Martial Hall, hmph, your death will probably cause the True Martial Hall some heartbreak, hahaha!"

Saying this, the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race once again pounced at Ye Chen.

In Ye Chen's mind sea, Spiritual Power suddenly surged forth.

Though he was without the Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal and couldn't unify spirit and martial, losing the edge in his Spiritual Power, the magnitude of his Spiritual Power remained unaffected.

Spirit Wave Impact!

The advancing figure of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race halted, then she sneered disdainfully: "Just a petty trick not worthy of mention, is this the extent of True Martial Hall's prodigies?"

Ye Chen couldn't be bothered with this stupid woman, he steadied his form, thrusting with his sword.

Golden Extreme Space-Breaking, Geng Metal Sword Intent, dazzling brilliance!

The Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race reached directly for Ye Chen's sword, never once had she regarded Ye Chen seriously.

However.

Just as her hand was about to grasp Ye Chen's sword at that instant, an immensely dangerous sensation surged in her heart, making her body shift sideways!

With a 'pfft', a streak of Sword Qi pierced from her left shoulder blade through to the front of her chest!

If she hadn't moved sideways in time, that Sword Qi would have pierced through her heart, and though having the heart shattered would not lead to death, it would still be a severe injury!

Mere moments ago, she claimed Ye Chen possessed nothing but minor skills, only to be embarrassingly smacked in the face in a blink.

The fury in the heart of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race surged to frenzy in an instant.

Having just arrived in this world, she got severely struck by Tian Bugui from the True Martial Hall.

Her right arm was severed by Tian Bugui, a famed powerhouse within the True Martial Hall, so she had no choice but to endure the blow gritting her teeth.

Yet now, her left shoulder blade got pierced right through, and the one who injured her was merely a newly initiated Primordial Embryo Realm human young man, a fact she simply couldn't bear.

"Plunge into oblivion, endless agony awaits you!"

The tone of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race was unspeakably sinister, an eerie glow radiating from her vertical eye.

In an instant, Ye Chen felt as though he appeared in another world, unable to move, with sharp knives recklessly slicing across his body... an eruption of intense torment.

"Meeting your end within the Celestial Eye Illusion is an honor!" the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race coldly declared.

Yet in the next moment.

Immersed within the illusion, Ye Chen's feet shimmered with golden light, flashing instantly before the unguarded Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race, thrusting his sword towards the vertical eye on her brow.

"Pu!"

A sound like a bursting bubble resonated.

The face of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race was filled with pain, unwillingness, and deep shock.

From the very beginning, Ye Chen had identified the crux of the issue; if he could utilize the unification of spirit and martial power, he would have directly faced this heavily wounded Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race.

Unable to utilize the unification of spirit and martial power, he instead sought a method to catch her off guard, thus Ye Chen concealed the speed of his Heaven-Ascending Step's Vertical Earth Golden Light, waiting for a decisive moment.

As a result, when the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race resorted to the illusion, Ye Chen's Martial Arts True Eye saw through the illusion, setting the stage for the current scenario.

"Celestial Eye Illusion, huh? Unfortunately, it has no effect on me."

Ye Chen said calmly, his sword-wielding hand twisting fiercely, causing the head of the Ninth Princess of the Celestial Eye Race to explode, her soul shattering along with it.
