Holy Emperor

  "You're finished, kid!"

  A man in black robes slapped his hand with a talisman, and the spiritual energy inside him surged out from his palm, causing the talisman to shine brightly.

  "Spirit symbols transform into form, Fire Phoenix Blazes the Sky!"

  Wow!

  The Ling symbol flew up into the air amidst a burst of red light, transforming into a three-meter-tall fire phoenix that spewed out scorching flames towards Ye Chen!

  Ye Chen could clearly feel that violent fire element, the terrifying high temperature was almost comparable to the hellfire of the Red Flame King.

  Flames enveloped downwards, covering an area of over ten meters around Ye Chen's body. This space was distorted, being scorched by the fire spirit's power and changing shape.

  Meow meow jumped away from Ye Chen's side the moment Huo Feng transformed, watching as flames engulfed Ye Chen, a hint of tension flickered in its azure eyes.

  "Refine myself, true fire smelting!"

  Suddenly, a domain world emerged, instantly enveloping Ye Chen, and Ye Chen's body appeared directly inside the 'Shennong Baicao Ding'. The binding rope that bound him was suddenly incinerated by the primordial true fire.

  "Freeze!"

  Ye Chen gained his freedom, retrieved his domain, and with a single stroke of his hand, the spiritual energy in the Sea of Fate surged forth, transforming into the power of ice and snow. At absolute zero temperature, the flames that had engulfed the sky were instantly frozen in mid-air, turning into an ice sculpture.

  At this moment, he took a step forward, his golden fist transformed into the size of a millstone, and with a loud hum, it exploded the void.

  "Boom!"

  A golden fist was like a dazzling sun, and a punch hit the fire phoenix that had turned into an ice sculpture. In an instant, there was a cracking sound, the ice sculpture shattered, and the ice fragments flew out.

  Two men in black were shocked and terrified, their confident eyes had turned into extreme fear, they couldn't understand how they would encounter such a perverted strongman.

  "Die!"

  Ye Chen's cold and detached voice echoed in his ears, only to see a cyan figure suddenly flash by, followed by a loud crackling sound, as if the entire sky had split open, and a fierce and boundless killing intent descended from the heavens.

  That was a golden knife tip that shot out from Ye Chen's palm, extending tens of meters, cutting through the void and slashing down.

  "Pffft!"

  He didn't even have time to dodge, and the man in black was instantly split from head to toe, with blood gushing out and his body exploding to both sides.

  Ye Chen reached out with a big hand, and the black-clothed man's body that had been split open was caught in his hand. With one throw, it was tossed into the 'Shennong Baicao Ding' inside the Sea of Fate.

  "Y-you..." Another black-clad figure was terrified, instantly retreating, his voice trembling uncontrollably. He flung out a hand, activating the spirit symbol.

  "Spirit Symbol Transformation, Wind Blade Strangulation!"

  That talisman flew into the sky, emitting a blue light that pierced in all directions. The characters on it flowed and then burst open in an instant, transforming the wind spirits filling the air into countless wind blades.

  The wind blades rotated, like a flying blade, covering the sky and killing towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen's hands spread out, his body lightly shook, and a golden blood aura burst forth from his body. He was like an unparalleled war god, with golden light surging towards the sky.

  "Big Bang Fist, give me destruction!"

  The void hummed, all eight directions trembled, countless golden large hand seals stretched out from the turbulent golden light, carrying the momentum of shattering all things and crushing all wind blades.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!

  A string of explosions rang out incessantly, the wind blades that filled the sky were like shattered glass, and under the Great Collapse, all attacks dissolved into nothingness.

  "That..." The black-clad man was like he had seen a ghost, and didn't even care about Lian Feng anymore, turning around to run away.

  "Can you run?"

  Ye Chen coldly laughed, and that voice was like it was spoken directly into the black-clothed man's ear, making his soul tremble. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his body, as if his consciousness was about to shatter. A large hand as hard as divine iron descended from the sky and grasped him firmly in its grip.

  "Don't kill me, please don't kill me..." The man in black kept begging for mercy.

  What a racket!

  Ye Chendan's field shook, the Sea of Fate opened, and he directly threw him into the 'Shennong Baicao Ding', the black-robed man's shadow came to an abrupt halt.

  Ye Chen gathered the two men in black, then walked step by step towards Liu Feng and Yang Xiao. Seeing Ye Chen kill his own people walking slowly over, Yang Xiao was so frightened that he trembled, while Liu Feng had a ruthless look on his face, with cold light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen, saying: "You little boy, come here to help Young Master clean up this corpse, and today's matter will be written off!"

  Ye Chen was taken aback, and suddenly felt like laughing. He looked at Liu Feng with a pitiful gaze and said, "Is that so? If I don't help you get rid of this corpse, what will you do?"

  "Hmph, you little brat, don't look at me with that kind of gaze!" Liu Feng looked at Ye Chen disdainfully and said: "Indeed, today I wanted to kill you and seize the Ling Beast. Who would have thought that you're even stronger than I imagined? Now, people from my Liu family have also died at your hands. Do you know what the consequences are for killing someone from my Liu family?"

  "As long as you help me get rid of this corpse and safely send me out of the Corpse Mountains, I'll consider the matter of killing my family's strongman settled." Liu Feng said with a cold smile spreading across his mouth, "I know what you're thinking. You want to kill me? Haha, I'm the young master of the Liu family. If you kill me, you'll definitely be branded and will suffer the pursuit of my family. Not only that, but your family, relatives, and friends will all be doomed!"

  "So you're saying that this Young Master Liu is of noble birth and holds a high position?" Ye Chen said, looking at Liu Feng.

  "Hmph, what kind of existence the Liu family is, you, a background-less loose cultivator, will never understand. With your abilities, without any power backing you up, you're just an ant." Liu Feng's face was full of arrogance, and a sense of superiority naturally emerged when talking about his own family.

  Liu Feng's meaning is that he isn't someone Ye Chen can afford to offend, and even more so, doesn't believe Ye Chen dares to kill him, yet still ends up in this state and remains so arrogant.

  Ye Chen sneered repeatedly, these two goods are usually used to being bossed around and have some brain damage, relying on their family's power to think that everyone in the world should be afraid of him and dare not do anything to him.

  Ye Chen walked over, his large hand grasped, and a golden blood aura condensed into five fingers, which pinched the corpse's skull in mid-air with a loud "crack" sound. In an instant, a walnut-sized corpse core appeared before his eyes, which he collected into his storage bag with one move.

  Seeing Ye Chen obediently killing the corpse, he thought that he was afraid of his family's power and took action. At this time, he became even more arrogant. Pointing at Ye Chen, he said: "Kid, I'll give you an opportunity. Offer that spiritual beast to the Liu family, and with your cultivation, you can become a guardian leader in the Liu family. What do you think?"

  "Bang!"

  The reply from Liu Feng was a loud slap in the face.

  This slap directly stunned him. From an early age, who dared to be disrespectful to him, let alone being slapped in the face? That was something he had never even dreamed of.

  It took Liu Feng a while to recover from the slap, his eyes wide with rage as he glared at Ye Chen and bellowed, "You little bastard, you dare hit me? I'll wipe out your entire clan!"

  "Bang!"

  Another slap, this time exceptionally loud, sent Liu Feng's body spinning in place for over a dozen turns, his teeth flying out of his mouth like bullets.

  "You, you will suffer the endless pursuit of the Liu family, your relatives and friends will all die!" Liu Feng's teeth were gone, his speech unclear, constantly spitting out blood, speaking cruel words.

  "Is that so?" Ye Chen sneered, reaching out to grab his neck with one hand and lifting him up, while the other palm quickly slapped upwards.

  Clap Clap Clap!!

  The sound of slaps continued for a moment, and when Ye Chen stopped his hand, Liu Feng was no longer human. At this time, even if it were his mother's mother, she would have difficulty recognizing what he had become.

  "A rotten pig head, two taels of cheap meat." Ye Chen furrowed his brow and slammed Liu Feng's body to the ground with a loud crash. His right hand slowly clenched into a fist the size of a sandbag, and he repeatedly pounded it against that swollen head.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!

  Three punches in a row, Liu Feng's head had already disappeared, starting from the neck, deeply embedded in the ground, already a bloody mess, turned into mush, only his body was still twitching.

  Yang Xiao had already been frightened to the point of losing control of his bowels, and the stench made Ye Chen feel extremely nauseous. Without even looking at it, he casually pointed a finger, and a golden light pierced through the air, making a "puchi" sound as it penetrated its brow, creating a hole the size of a thumb, with fresh blood gushing out. Yang Xiao's pupils gradually dilated, and with a look of unwillingness and extreme terror, he slowly fell backwards.

  Ye Chen grabbed the corpse of Liu Feng and tossed it casually, sending Liu Feng's body flying high into the air. It landed several hundred meters away on a large tree to the left, where it was impaled by broken branches and hung suspended.

  "The corpse still has the yin energy inside that hasn't dissipated yet, it should be able to heal your wounds for you. Come over here." Ye Chen stood up and turned around to look at the female ghost standing with Miao Miao.

  "Benefactor... I, benefactor is over there, a young girl dare not go past..." The female ghost said in a low voice.

  Ye Chen was taken aback, thinking that the ghost was a gathering of yin energy and soul, and people with strong yang energy would have a certain fear. He immediately walked away, letting the female ghost come over to absorb the yin energy from the corpse.

  "Thank you, kind soul." The female ghost excitedly rushed towards the corpse of the general, her arms broken, hair disheveled, clothes tattered, and body covered in bloodstains, looking very frightening. At this time, she was crazily absorbing the yin energy from the general's corpse.

  Gradually, Ye Chen saw the female ghost undergo a transformation as she absorbed the yin energy. Her hair was no longer disheveled, but instead became soft and smooth, like black silk cascading down like a waterfall. The bloodstains on her body began to disappear, and her clothes automatically became intact. The severed arm slowly regrew, with skin as smooth as jade.

  In the time it took to take ten breaths, the female ghost's appearance had completely changed. She stood up and turned around to look at Ye Chen. Ye Chen was slightly stunned, the woman in front of him didn't look like a female ghost anymore, she looked just like an immortal fairy.

  The girl was very beautiful, with a hint of mischief in her expression, big and round eyes staring at Ye Chen without blinking.

  "Benefactor, ah, I don't even know what to call you yet. Can Xiaoying ask for your name?" the female ghost asked with a playful tone, completely different from her demeanor earlier.
