A piece of the "Thunder" treasure was left by Zeus, the ancestor of the Zeus family in Greece, to ensure the continued prosperity of the family. The myth of Zeus has long been passed down in the Western mortal world. Zeus was indeed a powerful martial artist, and when he left the family, he had already reached the "Semi-Saint" realm. Such strength is undeniable, and for an expert with such cultivation realm, it’s normal for ordinary people in the mortal world to regard him as a divine. After all, in the eyes of ordinary mortals, these martial artists with even slight divine skills are considered deities!

It’s undeniable that the piece of the "Thunder" treasure held by the Zeus Family’s clan leader greatly surprised Ye Tianchen. Though this "Thunder" treasure is powerful and was left by an expert with Semi-Saint cultivation, what happened within the Zeus family that only half of the "Thunder" treasure remains? Additionally, the Zeus family clan leader has not reached the Saint realm, meaning he cannot unleash the Saint’s Power of this piece of the "Thunder" treasure. Yet, this very power almost defeats Ye Tianchen. This forces Ye Tianchen to utilize the Taie Sword, fully unleashing his combat strength to barely withstand it. This astonishment further strengthens his conviction that the path of martial arts is endless, and he still has much to strive for before reaching the martial arts peak.

As Ye Tianchen wields the Taie Sword and the Zeus family clan leader the Thunder treasure, the powerful force of both items collides, resulting in a stalemate. At this moment, the swordsman appears behind Ye Tianchen, telling him that he will lend Ye Tianchen a hand to defeat the Zeus family clan leader.

Swoosh!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the swordsman finishes speaking, he strikes out with his sword. However, the sword’s formidable energy is not directed at the Zeus family clan leader but at Ye Tianchen’s head.

This scene shocks the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm. Though unaware of what has transpired, he naturally does not wish for Ye Tianchen to be defeated, as it would not benefit him in any way. If Ye Tianchen were killed, even he, the remaining Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, would not escape complete annihilation.

"Watch out!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm shouted loudly.

Ye Tianchen hesitated, abruptly turning around, his eyes filled with doubt and disbelief. However, it seems already too late, as the swordsman’s blade has already cut to the point of his neck, making contact with his skin!

Clang!

Yet, unexpectedly, at this moment, the swordsman’s big saber treasure strikes against Ye Tianchen’s neck. Everyone thinks Ye Tianchen is doomed, that even if he doesn’t die immediately, his head and body will be separated. Especially with the Zeus family clan leader present, if Ye Tianchen shows such a defeat, it will be inevitable death. Just a strong force crushing his head could annihilate him!

This reveals the danger of battles between experts. A slight precaution could lead to complete annihilation, with no opportunity for recovery. Ye Tianchen faces such danger now. But when the swordsman suddenly strikes at him, aiming for his head, with the blade already resting on his neck, a faint sound erupts, as if the swordsman’s treasure saber collides with metal.

A unique power suddenly burns all over Ye Tianchen, enveloping him in golden light. It looks as though his physical body power is exploding, but truly, it’s the demonstration of a divine skill noted in the "Yijin Jing"—the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill.

The swordsman’s sudden attack is blocked by Ye Tianchen’s Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill at the critical moment, astonishing everyone present. No one expected Ye Tianchen to still have the strength to display martial arts divine skills to fend off such a powerful assassination attempt. His swift reaction indeed indicates that this young man is anything but ordinary!

"I didn’t expect you to be able to withstand a lethal strike at such a moment!" The Zeus family clan leader said sharply.

"That’s because I already anticipated an issue. With his personality, he wouldn’t just come behind me; he’d have already attacked you directly!" Ye Tianchen coldly eyed the Zeus family clan leader.

"However, you can’t fend off an onslaught from both of us; you’re bound to die." The Zeus family clan leader confidently stated, seeing Ye Tianchen besieged.

"Too bad you’ll be the one dying first!" Ye Tianchen replied calmly.

"Impossible, I..." The Clan Leader of the Zeus Family of Greece hadn’t finished speaking when he felt his head and body part ways!

Poof!

A stream of blood shot skyward, and before the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family could finish his sentence, his head flew skyward. And as a powerful martial artist, as long as Divine Thought wasn’t destroyed and the head wasn’t shattered, he wouldn’t completely die and could use Great Divine Power to reconstruct his body.

The head of the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family flew into midair, staring at the scene below, he was dumbfounded. He never imagined that the person who would kill him was Roma Vulcan. How could it be this compassionate old monk? He wouldn’t even kill an ant, yet if someone said it was the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm who ambushed him with some martial arts divine power, the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family might have understood. But this person turned out to be Roma Vulcan, why him?

Not only the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family but almost everyone present, including Ye Tianchen, the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm, and the Pharaoh of Egypt, were shocked. None of them could have imagined that the ruthless attacker would be Roma Vulcan. For hundreds of years, they were regarded as some of the strongest individuals in the Mortal World, and Roma Vulcan had always appeared as someone detached from worldly affairs, full of compassion. He rarely spoke, let alone argued or fought. Many considered Roma Vulcan someone devoted to Buddha, compassionate and transcendent. When Roma Vulcan took action, everyone felt the shock—it was so effortless and quick, with not a hint of hesitation.

"You... Vulcan, you actually struck to kill me?" The Clan Leader of the Zeus Family reacted, glaring fiercely at Roma Vulcan and asked.

"You all must die. Only if you die will my plan succeed; then I can acquire the strongest treasure in this Hidden World!" Roma Vulcan said with a calm voice.

"You..." The Clan Leader of the Zeus Family was stunned, suddenly realizing something. Instantly, he shifted his head, and half of the "Thunder" Treasure immediately emitted a beam of light to protect him. He feared being attacked suddenly—if his head were shattered, he really would meet a fate of complete destruction!

Roma Vulcan remained calm, not rushing to ensure the Clan Leader’s utter demise but instead approached Ye Tianchen step by step. Although Ye Tianchen was already under pressure from the power of the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family, the cultivation realm of the man with the saber was profound, and his battle strength was significant, making it difficult for Ye Tianchen.

"Your power is quite strong, surprising me. You have great potential, young martial artist. Are you willing to lend me a helping hand?" Roma Vulcan looked at Ye Tianchen and asked calmly.

"What if I say I am not willing?" Ye Tianchen stared at Roma Vulcan, retorting.

"Die!" Roma Vulcan smiled slightly as he uttered this word.

Swish!

At the same time, powerful energy surged towards Roma Vulcan. The Clan Leader of the Zeus Family had taken action, also in anger. He was a person with great potential, confidence, and dignity, never expecting to be outsmarted by Roma Vulcan. His heart was filled with fury, and he immediately activated half of the "Thunder" Treasure, striking at Roma Vulcan in revenge!

Swash!

Roma Vulcan turned, waving his right hand. A cascade of Buddha Light enveloped the sky, blocking the Divine Power from the Clan Leader’s "Thunder" Treasure. Everyone was astounded; this half of the "Thunder" Treasure was passed down by a Semi-Saint realm expert. When the Clan Leader entered the Hidden World, he used this treasure to counter the different Magic Law Power here successfully. Even a simple strike nearly claimed Ye Tianchen’s life, forcing him to use the Taie Sword defensively. Yet now, it was easily blocked by Roma Vulcan’s effortless defense. This compassionate-looking but highly strategic old monk—how strong is he truly?

"You... you have grown so strong, and none of us noticed. All these years, we’ve been fooled by your false compassion—it’s truly laughable!" The Clan Leader of the Zeus Family couldn’t help but laugh, looking up and shouting. (To be continued.
