Chapter 2673: Chapter 2647: The Master’s Servant! (Sixth Release)
But at this moment!
A red light suddenly flashed across the horizon!
A man clad in beast skin appeared before Ye Chen and Shi Ba like a ghost!
Ye Chen’s expression changed. How did this man appear?
He didn’t even see it happen!
Even more shocking, the moment the man appeared, he threw a punch directly at Shi Ba!
No preparation, no burst of spiritual energy—just a simple, ordinary punch!
Shi Ba, now driven mad with bloodlust, his body drenched in blood, nearly demonized, roared furiously as the punch came his way. As if provoked to the ultimate extreme, he unleashed his potential and poured the Death Evil Aura and tremendous force frantically into the huge axe in his hand, roaring as he slashed it downward toward the man’s head!
This swing directly tore the Void into chaos, far more terrifying than the slash he had struck at Ye Chen earlier!
In an instant, fist and axe collided!
A scene so shocking it felt like everyone’s eyes might pop out appeared!
Bearing what seemed to be a plain and straightforward punch, the terrifying axe light instantly disintegrated. Even Shi Ba’s giant axe, forged from Ancient Demon Essence, hailed as indestructible, and which had withstood endless power amplification from Ye Chen’s Green Lotus Annihilation Sword without bearing a scratch, disintegrated into fine particles like powder…
And this punch, after shattering the axe light and axe, did not pause for even a moment as it continued forward!
Shi Ba stared as the rapidly enlarging fist filled his ashen eyes. The wildfire of obsession in his gaze finally extinguished swiftly!
Replaced by a cold terror and an indescribable sense of shock!
“Master!!!”
Shi Ba shrieked in sheer horror, yet the defense of his Heaven Stone Body—renowned as defying the heavens—could not hold for even a fraction of a breath before exploding completely in the face of that punch.
Shi Ba, reduced to nothingness, left behind only a rapidly dissipating mist of blood within the heavens and earth.
Ye Chen’s breath stalled!
“Fuck!” he spat, cursing under his breath while looking at the beast-skin-clad young man before him, with the Sun Tattoo emblazoned across his chest, in absolute disbelief.
Terrifying!
Though he couldn’t discern the man’s exact cultivation level, he knew this man’s strength surpassed him by countless levels!
Take Shi Ba, for example. While Ye Chen was confident he could eventually defeat Shi Ba, he knew Shi Ba was no weakling!
Shi Ba was a formidable being, able to fight him for a thousand rounds without tiring!
And yet, just now, Shi Ba was… annihilated by this beast-skin-clad young man with a casual punch?
Annihilated so completely there wasn’t even any trace left?
Just the thought of this sent chills down Ye Chen’s spine!
His pupils contracted violently as he cautiously fixated on this terrifying powerhouse who had suddenly appeared and obliterated Shi Ba with a single punch. Tension surged as he spoke gravely to the Ancient Medical God: “Elder Cang, how can someone this terrifying exist in the Divine Kingdom?”
Even the so-called hidden factions couldn’t possibly have strength this immense!
The Ancient Medical God remained silent, but the Kuang Wu Dominator gravely said, “Young Master Ye, you must never anger this person. His strength is not something you can contend with right now! Crushing you would be as easy for him as toying with an ant! He exudes an incomparably dense ancient aura—he must be one of the ancient experts who has just awakened!”
“An ancient expert?”
Ye Chen’s heart sank even further!
Having been through the God Suppressing Tower’s resurgence battles, he understood full well the brutality of that era—and how striking, how dazzling the experts who emerged victorious in those wars truly were!
By comparison, the so-called “monstrous talents” of today’s Divine Kingdom were nothing but dogs**t!
At this moment, the man turned to glance at Ye Chen, his expression suddenly showing interest.
He scrutinized Ye Chen intently, making Ye Chen’s heart prickle uneasily!
Then the man smiled at Ye Chen and said, “My name is Yang Chiyuan, Master of Raging Sun. What’s your name?”
Ye Chen blinked, slightly startled. This man was… interested in him?
Nonetheless, he replied politely, “My name is Ye Chen!”
He wasn’t foolish enough to act contrived before such an imposing figure. And since the man had not acted rudely toward him, basic courtesy was necessary.
However, Ye Chen didn’t put away the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword in his hand!
Instead, he gripped it tighter, his fingers whitening from the strain!
Ye Chen might not purposely provoke this ancient figure, but he absolutely wouldn’t entrust his fate to another’s whims!
No matter whether this man could crush him effortlessly, Ye Chen remained determined that his survival depended on his own control, not the mercy of others!
Yang Chiyuan nodded and said, “Twenty-something, Great Void stage, with such prowess—not bad. Even in my era, you’d stand out as a monstrous talent!”
Originally, throughout his journey, Yang Chiyuan had been deeply disappointed by the pitiful state of martial arts within today’s Divine Kingdom. He thought martial arts had entirely decayed!
While lamenting the passage of time and the chasm between past and present, he suddenly sensed the rippling energy of Ye Chen and Shi Ba’s battle.
Intrigued, he came to investigate.
Discovering Shi Ba’s identity as a Devil Worshipper, he immediately obliterated him.
However, Ye Chen surprised him!
Yang Chiyuan originally believed that with the Divine Kingdom’s decline, there shouldn’t be any noteworthy geniuses emerging from such a deteriorated environment—it should’ve been a kingdom of waste.
But at this moment, Ye Chen’s talent astounded him!
In his twenties, possessing such strength—in the ancient days, even among the distant epochs, such talent would remain a rarity among rarities, a true gem among geniuses!
That being said, this referred to Ye Chen’s potential.
As for Ye Chen’s current strength?
Heh, nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Upon hearing Yang Chiyuan’s praise, Ye Chen bowed his head slightly and said, “Your praise flatters me, Senior.”
The man appeared young, yet was undoubtedly an authentic ancient being; addressing him as Senior was more than appropriate.
At this moment, Yang Chiyuan suddenly flipped his palm, revealing an intricate rune encased in fiery red light within his hand.
Ye Chen’s gaze fell upon the rune, his brows immediately tightening as his aura stirred faintly in agitation…
The rune gave him an exceedingly unpleasant feeling!
Yang Chiyuan smiled at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, take this rune.”
Though a gentle smile adorned his face, his tone carried the undeniable authority of command!
Ye Chen stared into Yang Chiyuan’s eyes and asked, “Senior, what is this?”
“Ye Chen, your talent has caught my eye.”
Yang Chiyuan’s gaze grew deep as he locked eyes with Ye Chen and said, “Therefore, I’ve decided—you will become my servant. You will serve me. Haha, it is your honor to be given such a privilege. You should be pleased.”
