First time!

?

It was Ye Tianchen’s first time using his physical body power, exerting nearly his full strength, when he collided with the enemy’s physical body power, he was severely injured. This was the first time in his record that he was injured right after using his physical body power in battle!

?

What Ye Tianchen didn’t expect was that Roma Vulcan’s physical power was so formidable because, like him, he had cultivated the Buddhist Holy Skill specifically for tempering the physical body, the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill." However, where Roma Vulcan acquired such a divine skill, Ye Tianchen had no idea.

?

At this moment, Roma Vulcan was in a frenzy, with eyes full of slaughter. He erupted with a physical power that he had never unleashed before, extremely terrifying. With Roma Vulcan as the center, after releasing all his physical body power, it formed a powerful tornado, all concentrated from the physical strength of Roma Vulcan. His might was beyond doubt!

?

In contrast, Ye Tianchen, who was previously full of momentum, his physical body power transformed into rays of golden light, yet he calmed down, observing the false-benevolent old monk Roma Vulcan calmly. Despite the strength of Roma Vulcan’s physical power, Ye Tianchen had no absolute confidence in defeating him. Such a situation was unprecedented, but Ye Tianchen quickly regained his composure, as he saw through everything. Although Roma Vulcan’s physical power was strong, Ye Tianchen believed that Roma Vulcan was inferior to him in physical strength; he had discerned the reason!

?

"With the same cultivation realm, equal combat power, and the same cultivated Buddhist Holy Skill, you claim I’m not as good as you? What a big joke, you are too shameless!" Roma Vulcan coldly looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

?

"In the coming clash of physical powers, you will understand. Though your body power is strong, it’s different from mine. I have something you do not!" Ye Tianchen said calmly looking at Roma Vulcan.

?

Boom!

?

Roma Vulcan was a strong and domineering person. Without saying a word, he immediately drove his immense physical power to attack Ye Tianchen, with incredible speed and strength. The crucial part was that the physical power bursting from Roma Vulcan’s body turned into a tornado. Wherever this tornado passed, everything vanished, and the void shattered into fragments that could not even quickly close, immensely terrifying!

?

Roar!

?

This whirlwind of physical power from within Roma Vulcan instantly reached in front of Ye Tianchen, transforming into a giant dragon, roaring and rushing towards Ye Tianchen.

?

Slam!

?

At this moment, Ye Tianchen clasped his hands together and suddenly opened his eyes, with a force bursting from each eye, strikingly powerful. As Ye Tianchen slowly separated his hands, a ray of light shot out, incredibly shocking, with a sensation of rising to the nine heavens above and crushing the netherworld below!

?

Puff!

?

Bang Dong!

?

The dragon formed from Roma Vulcan’s physical power was shattered, and he himself was knocked flying, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Ye Tianchen looked at Roma Vulcan coldly and said, "This is the difference in my physical strength compared to yours!"

?

"You... I understand. You rely not only on the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, but your own physical body is powerful beyond belief!" Roma Vulcan suddenly understood something and said with a frown.

?

"It seems you’re not entirely stupid. I don’t rely solely on Martial Arts Divine Skill or Buddhist Holy Skill but, most importantly, my own power!" Ye Tianchen said with determined eyes.

?

Roma Vulcan glanced at Ye Tianchen. Indeed, Ye Tianchen’s strength exceeded his expectations, especially seeing the determination in Ye Tianchen’s eyes, which never compromised or gave up, leaving him greatly shocked. A steadfast Taoist Heart is easy to talk about but difficult to achieve, knowing that in the cruel and bloody Martial Arts World, a person’s Taoist Heart is eroded at any moment. Very few can remain unwavering, and achieving a resolute, never-retreating Taoist Heart is extremely difficult!

?

"Back then, I saw this Buddhist Holy Skill on a stele and have been secretly cultivating it, never exhibiting it. I never thought that using it today, I would still be weaker than you!" Roma Vulcan said fiercely.

?

"If you insist, we have no choice but to fight again, to determine the victor and the vanquished, life and death. Only one of us will walk away alive, bringing this matter to a close!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

?

"Hahaha, I must admit, you are very persistent and possess an unwavering Taoist Heart, beyond my expectations. However, this was just a battle of physical power. Even if I’m slightly weaker than you, what does it matter? I’ve already controlled the entire Hidden World; can you do anything about it? Becoming the one I slay next would take but a moment!" Roma Vulcan laughed and said.

?

Buzz! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

?

Ye Tianchen did not hesitate. He knew the strength of Roma Vulcan and dared not underestimate this Roma Vulcan in the slightest. Immediately, he swung his right hand, and the Taie Sword surged from within him. Ye Tianchen grabbed it tightly, feeling its presence. This was a power of might, and using the Taie Sword for combat and slaughter was the best choice!

?

"The Taie Sword, one of the ten ancient divine swords. You obtaining it is a stroke of luck, but it will become my treasure!" Roma Vulcan said with a confident smile.

?

Swish!

?

Ye Tianchen swung the Taie Sword, tearing through the sky, charging towards Roma Vulcan. Roma Vulcan frowned, and the golden foil in the palm of his right hand whirled continuously, unleashing the power of Buddha Light to counter the force of the Taie Sword!

?

Boom!

?

With a deafening roar, Ye Tianchen frowned. The Buddha Light from the golden foil was indeed powerful, easily blocking the power of might from the Taie Sword. In the split second of his distraction, Roma Vulcan had already propelled the golden foil in his right hand, swiftly slashing towards Ye Tianchen!

?

Clang!

?

When Ye Tianchen swung the Taie Sword, the golden foil was already upon him, crashing against the blade of the Taie Sword. To Ye Tianchen’s shock, the Taie Sword was one of the ten ancient divine swords, a Sword of Might. Its power should not be desecrated, yet this piece of golden foil, despite its strength, was just a paper. But this mere paper collided with the blade of the Taie Sword; not only did it not shatter or turn to dust, but it also made Ye Tianchen feel a jolt through his tiger’s mouth, as though the Taie Sword might fly out of his hand. It was incredibly formidable!

?

However, before Ye Tianchen could react, he sensed several terrifying auras approaching. He couldn’t help but glance around, only to see several Buddhist statues had surrounded him, each slowly raising a Buddha palm, aimed at striking him!

?

"You’ve lost, destined for defeat!" Roma Vulcan said coldly.

?

Ye Tianchen frowned, of course, ignoring Roma Vulcan’s words. He was puzzled; at that time, when Roma Vulcan clashed with the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, the two seemed evenly matched. The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm would not be weaker than Roma Vulcan. Yet, when Roma Vulcan unleashed the Buddha Light power of the golden foil, it should have been blocked by the Iron Ruler Treasure in the Great Elder’s hand, but the Great Elder was ultimately knocked flying and defeated. It was precisely because of this golden foil’s Buddha Light power suppressing him. Simultaneously, several powerful Buddhist statues appeared around the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm. It seemed he was unaware, which ultimately led to him being knocked flying.

?

Of course, for some unknown reason, others did not witness this scene; they couldn’t see it. However, Ye Tianchen did see it. He didn’t know why he could see it, but since he had, and with Roma Vulcan using the same technique to attempt to kill him, he naturally wouldn’t sit idly by; he would surely counterattack.

?

"Go!"

?

Ye Tianchen shouted softly, the Taie Sword in his right hand had already flown out of his palm. Of course, it also blasted away the golden foil Roma Vulcan had conjured. Simultaneously, Ye Tianchen’s hands formed palms, and he continuously struck out in all directions at high speed, each strike seemingly hitting a force, leaving him unscathed!

?

Roma Vulcan was utterly shocked. When he saw this scene, he was truly astounded. He never imagined, even in his dreams, that someone could see through his secret and powerful divine skill, and that the person who did was Ye Tianchen. At this moment, several Buddhist statues surrounded Ye Tianchen. These statues were invisible to ordinary people. In Roma Vulcan’s view, only he could see them; otherwise, given the cultivation realm and strength of the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, it was impossible for him to lose. It was due to the mystery and terror of this martial arts divine skill that Roma Vulcan was so confident. However, now it seemed that this technique was useless against Ye Tianchen, as he also appeared to see the surrounding Buddhist statues, countering the power of slaughter of each statue with every move!

?

Bang!

?

Bang!

?

Bang!

?

Bang!

?

Ye Tianchen’s palms continuously struck out. To outsiders, it seemed like he was striking into thin air, but only Ye Tianchen and Roma Vulcan knew that Ye Tianchen was currently battling the powerful force of several Buddhist statues!

?

Thud!

?

There was a muffled sound as Ye Tianchen’s hands spread open, striking out, seemingly locked in a standoff with some force. Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

?

"Do these statues deserve to be called Buddhas? Begone!" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
