The treasure of Roma Vulcan is a piece of gold leaf, but it’s not just an ordinary piece of gold leaf. It exudes powerful divine power and can be used in battle like an indestructible treasure, making one feel awed!

However, during a great battle with the Pharaoh of Egypt, the information Roma Vulcan revealed was even more shocking. He claimed that this piece of gold leaf was a paper on which, in the past, the Buddhist Emperor had left his writing. That’s why it possesses such extraordinary divine power, allowing Roma Vulcan to repeatedly annihilate numerous strong practitioners.

Still, Roma Vulcan’s claim leaves people in surprise, even disbelief. Consider this: if this gold leaf really had a word left by the Buddhist Emperor, how terrifying would its power be? Anything left by an Emperor carries the Emperor’s might, something that no one can resist, which is a well-known fact in the Martial Arts World. Yet, when Roma Vulcan uses this gold leaf, there is, indeed, an exceptional force that springs out from it, but it doesn’t carry the Emperor’s might. If it truly did, it would have already been boundlessly terrifying, and Roma Vulcan would have been able to sweep through everyone here in an instant.

No one knows whether the gold leaf in Roma Vulcan’s hand is indeed as he claims—a piece once used and inscribed upon by the Buddhist Emperor. If that were indeed the case, why hasn’t the Emperor’s power manifested? If it’s not true and Roma Vulcan is lying, why does a mere piece of paper display such a powerful force?

Among those present, only Ye Tianchen, the man with the sword on his back, and the Great Elder of China’s Kunlun Secret Realm remained. Roma Vulcan’s sudden outbreak and incredible strength, which was hard to believe, resulted in the deaths of the Indian Solomon’s Pusuo Sect Leader, the Pope of the Vatican, the Clan Leader of the Zeus Family from Greece, and the Pharaoh of Egypt—the most powerful four individuals from Earth’s Mortal World—all perishing in this Hidden World, meeting a fate of utter annihilation!

At this moment, in this Hidden World, the Great Elder of China’s Kunlun Secret Realm blocked the man with the sword on his back and engaged him in battle. Although the Great Elder of China’s Kunlun Secret Realm was seriously injured, he possessed profound combat ability, and was not a mere common figure. Meanwhile, the man with the sword on his back, being controlled by Roma Vulcan’s divine power, couldn’t exert his true strength. Therefore, the Great Elder of China’s Kunlun Secret Realm and the man with the sword on his back were evenly matched in their battle.

Roma Vulcan approached Ye Tianchen, less than ten meters away, with the gold leaf in his right hand continuously circulating in his palm, exuding waves of divine power, which was very astonishing. Roma Vulcan coldly glanced at Ye Tianchen and calmly asked:

"Your appearance is unexpected to me, but this won’t alter my plan in the slightest, nor can it stop my progress. Given your understanding of the Buddhist Holy Skill, I can give you an opportunity!"

"An opportunity? I fear it isn’t much of a good opportunity, is it?" Ye Tianchen calmly asked with a smile.

"It may not be a good opportunity for you, but it’s a chance to survive. Follow me and serve me, and you can live; otherwise, you will be utterly annihilated right here!" Roma Vulcan replied with a sneer.

Ye Tianchen looked at Roma Vulcan, knowing that he had entirely overturned his own image and everyone’s perception of him. Thus, there was nothing more to say; Roma Vulcan had turned completely into a man of slaughter. Having awaited this day for too long, he was resolute in his decision, intending to kill everyone here to obtain the terrifying treasure in the Hidden World!

"In that case, I’ll give you an opportunity too, how about it?" Ye Tianchen asked Roma Vulcan with a smile.

"Hmm? You dare bargain with me?" questioned Roma Vulcan, frowning slightly.

"You bring me the treasure of the Hidden World, and I’ll spare your life," Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"Hahaha, you little brat, so arrogant! Don’t think that just because you have some strength, you can clamor in front of me. Your level of cultivation is nothing in my eyes!" Roma Vulcan said in anger, laughing instead.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen is a decisive person, incredibly domineering, and wouldn’t say much more. He understood that at this point, no words could make Roma Vulcan stop; this pretentious old monk would definitely kill everyone here. For Ye Tianchen, there was only one path: to fight and to win. If he lost, not only him but also the Great Elder from China’s Kunlun Secret Realm and the man with the sword on his back would die here together.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen ignited all his physical body power, golden light bursting forth from within, so shocking that even Roma Vulcan couldn’t help but frown, saying, "Your physical body power can be tempered so simply, it’s indeed remarkable!"

"In the Buddhist Holy Skill, aren’t there many methods to temper the physical body? Haven’t you learned any?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"Hmph, you do have some insight. I’ve cultivated the Buddhist Holy Skill for many years and indeed learned a method to temper the physical body. Today, I can test it out!" Roma Vulcan said with a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Then let’s go; the one who survives between us will be the one to obtain the treasure of the Hidden World!" Ye Tianchen said boldly.

"That person will definitely be me!" Roma Vulcan said, clenching his fist tightly.

Boom!

In the next moment, a golden light ignited over Roma Vulcan’s entire body. This light exploded with an incredibly strong physical power, surprising Ye Tianchen not because of the sudden outburst of Vulcan’s bodily strength, but rather because their powers were somewhat similar. Could it be that they both cultivated the same Buddhist Holy Skill?

It must be known that Ye Tianchen’s physical body was tempered to this point not just through self-forging; he also applied the Buddhist Holy Skill, the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill," strengthening his physical body, making him even more powerful. It was this combination of cultivation methods that elevated Ye Tianchen, with his physical strength exceeding his cultivation realm to the Late Stage Martial Saint!

Could it be that Roma Vulcan cultivated the Buddhist Holy Skill, using it to temper his body with the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill? This puzzled Ye Tianchen, even leading to disbelief because, as far as he knew, the most comprehensive record of Buddhist Holy Skills revered in the Martial Arts World as cultivation treasures was the "Yijin Jing," which documented numerous Buddhist cultivation methods. How could Roma Vulcan know them?

Rumble!

Before Ye Tianchen could respond, Roma Vulcan was already trying to seize the upper hand, transforming into a beam of light and charging toward Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, naturally unwilling to show weakness or retreat, similarly transforming into a beam of light, colliding headfirst toward Roma Vulcan!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Bang!

A thunderous roar shook the sky, making the laws of the Hidden World tremble. A powerful force pervaded both heaven and earth, shredding the void into fragments. The incredibly strong impact of the physical bodies caused even the palace made of Cloud Stone nearby to shudder continuously, showing signs of imminent collapse. This was the result of Ye Tianchen and Roma Vulcan’s collision of physical power.

Puff!

Puff!

Ye Tianchen spat blood, and Roma Vulcan did the same, both furrowing their brows in shock, not having expected the opponent’s physical power to be so formidable. This fierce collision left both of them severely injured.

"You have truly underestimated me. My bodily divine skill has never been unleashed; it’s a power amassed indeed unable to pulverize you immediately!" Roma Vulcan said fiercely, glaring at Ye Tianchen.

"Being able to withstand my blow is already quite impressive!" Ye Tianchen replied, frowning.

Indeed, Ye Tianchen felt more shaken inside. Roma Vulcan’s initial display of physical power wasn’t remarkable, giving Ye Tianchen a sense of immediate suppression capability. However, Ye Tianchen’s own physical strength was extraordinary, reaching the Late Stage Martial Saint in cultivation realm, further bolstered by the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill." In numerous battles leveraging physical strength, never had he been injured upon unleashing his power for the first time; this was unprecedented, showing how troublesome Roma Vulcan truly was!

"Your physical strength is peculiar, resembling the divine skills I display. Might you also be cultivating Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill?" Roma Vulcan asked Ye Tianchen as if realizing something.

"It seems you are cultivating Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill too!" Ye Tianchen confirmed. But where did Roma Vulcan acquire this Buddhist Holy Skill?

"Hahaha, very good! Let’s see whose Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill is stronger!" Roma Vulcan laughed maniacally, streams of power bursting from his body, his physical strength multiplying manifold.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, but instead became calm. His bodily power slowly retracted, calmly watching Roma Vulcan as he said, "The physical power I possess is different from yours. In the battle of physical strength, you’re settled to lose!" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendations, monthly votes on Qidian (qidian.com).
