The battle between Ye Tianchen and Roma Vulcan can be described as terrifying, but in this hidden world, all powers are enveloped by the laws of the hidden world, preventing them from bursting outwards. Otherwise, countless places would be destroyed, and many innocent lives would be lost!

After losing to Ye Tianchen in the contest of physical strength, Roma Vulcan brought forth his treasure, a sheet of golden foil, claiming that it had been inscribed upon by the Buddhist Emperor.

The extraordinariness of this gold foil was already evident to Ye Tianchen when Roma Vulcan used it. When confronted with the indestructible Taie Sword and Power of Might, it surprisingly created a collision, a stalemate that Ye Tianchen hadn’t anticipated. Clearly, even if this piece of gold foil didn’t hold true to Roma Vulcan’s claim of Buddhist Emperor’s handwriting, it still has a remarkable origin and divine power. Otherwise, how could it collide with the indestructible Taie Sword, one of the ancient Ten Divine Swords?

However, Ye Tianchen saw through another aspect: the power of the gold foil Roma Vulcan summoned was merely a distraction. The true lethal move was the pervasive Buddha light, in which numerous powerful Buddha statues lurked. Once suppressed by the foil’s power, these statues would suddenly appear around you without your realizing, subjecting you to their furious attacks, making defeat inevitable. The Great Elder of Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm lost because of such an assault!

Others couldn’t see it, but in Roma Vulcan’s view, only he could see these things. However, in Ye Tianchen’s eyes, it was all crystal clear. Hence, Ye Tianchen launched the Taie Sword, ejecting the gold foil while simultaneously noticing several Buddha statues emerging, continuously striking, shaking the space to its core. Each time he released his palm force, he’d block a statue’s attack, and after Ye Tianchen shouted "Begone," he seemed to have shattered the statues surrounding him!

Spurt!

Though Roma Vulcan didn’t suffer a substantial attack from Ye Tianchen, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his gaze unbelieving and venomously fixed on Ye Tianchen as he spoke, "You... How can you see this? How can you see through?"

"Because what I’ve obtained is the Buddhist Sect’s Yijin Jing!" Ye Tianchen spoke calmly, advancing step by step toward Roma Vulcan.

"What? You obtained the Yijin Jing? The supreme Cultivation Treasure of the Buddhist Sect?" Roma Vulcan asked, utterly shocked.

"That’s right. So any Buddhist Holy Skill you use won’t be strong against me!" Ye Tianchen replied placidly.

"Hahaha, no wonder... No wonder my Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill can’t match yours. No wonder you’re so powerful, having obtained the Yijin Jing Cultivation Treasure from the Buddhist Sect. Even the old man of Kunlun couldn’t see through the Martial Arts Divine Skill, yet you could. That’s how it is!" Roma Vulcan laughed somewhat excitedly.

"You’re defeated. Stop now while you can!" Ye Tianchen said coldly, staring at Roma Vulcan.

"Stop? While I can? Ridiculous! I’ve meticulously planned and endured all these years just for this day, just to obtain the terrifying treasure of the hidden world. No one can make me stop; whoever blocks me will die!" Roma Vulcan shouted fiercely.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen made his move. He knew stopping Roma Vulcan was impossible. This hypocritically benevolent old monk had succumbed to his Heart Demon, becoming irredeemably evil. No matter what he said or did, it wouldn’t quell Roma Vulcan’s urge to kill. He would inevitably attempt to assassinate him, hence Ye Tianchen chose to strike first. He couldn’t afford to be lenient; otherwise, he’d die, and so would the Great Elder of Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm along with the dagger-wielding strongman!

A punch was delivered towards Roma Vulcan, who, with a frown, retaliated with a palm strike to block Ye Tianchen’s fist force. The collision of their powers formed a stalemate!

But!

As Ye Tianchen and Roma Vulcan prepared for a life-and-death battle to decide the victor, they felt an immense pressure descending from the sky, causing everything to tremble. The entire hidden world seemed on the brink of collapse, forcing them to involuntarily gaze up at the sky in astonishment!

At this moment, a series of dark currents emerged in the sky above the hidden world, continuously swirling and clashing as mighty Magic Law Power descended, transforming into Power of thunder and lightning, shattering everything. Shocked, Ye Tianchen and Roma Vulcan hurriedly used Martial Arts True Power to shield themselves!

"What’s going on?" The Great Elder from the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm and the man with the sword on his back flew over together. The man with the sword on his back seemed to have returned to normal and couldn’t help but ask.

"Old brother, are you alright?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"I’m fine now, thanks to the senior who helped remove the Holy Skill that restrained my divine mind. That old monk is too despicable. I must kill him!" The man with the sword on his back glared fiercely at Roma Vulcan as he spoke.

Roma Vulcan furrowed his brows, glanced at the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, and couldn’t help but say, "I didn’t expect you to be so powerful. Despite such a heavy injury, you were able to help him remove the Holy Skill that restrained his divine mind. I underestimated you!"

"Stop now, the Hidden World is about to collapse. Because you killed those people, just as you suspected, the laws here are too greatly disturbed, this whole world is about to crumble!" said the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, looking at Roma Vulcan.

"Stop? Do you think that’s possible? The reason I killed you all was to make the laws of this Hidden World crumble. Now that it’s finally crumbling, it means the terrifyingly boundless treasure within this Hidden World will descend, will appear. I’ve finally waited long enough!" Roma Vulcan yelled crazily.

"Old monk, you’re taking advantage of people’s difficulties; I don’t think you can wait any longer!" The man with the sword on his back spoke as if he was about to make a move, ready to fight Roma Vulcan to the death!

Boom!

Who would have thought that at this moment, a deafening boom sounded as if the whole world was destroyed. The Magic Law Thunder Power descending from above the Hidden World, all turned to dust, not needing to be resisted. Ye Tianchen, the man with the sword on his back, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, and Roma Vulcan couldn’t help but turn to look. They saw the palace made of Cloud Stone behind them, the whole palace seemed to have crumbled and exploded all of a sudden, not knowing why or what caused it.

"This... the palace built with Cloud Stone has collapsed?" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm paused for a moment, couldn’t help but ask with doubt.

"This palace was built with Cloud Stone! It’s very difficult to destroy it, and no Power of Slaughter has descended there. Why did it crumble? Could it be because the laws of this Hidden World have changed dramatically, and this world’s impending disappearance caused the palace built of Cloud Stone to collapse prematurely?" The man with the sword on his back couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s not that simple. We should still be cautious!" Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows and looked in that direction as he said.

Buzz!

Everyone was shocked beyond measure. While they were all at a loss, a beam of light shot out from the continuously crumbling Heavenly Palace built of Cloud Stone, startling everyone into a daze. It was truly mighty; the beam felt as if an ultimate treasure was about to emerge, making one feel a sense of tremor. As this beam burst forth, it made one’s soul involuntarily tremble slightly.

"Hahaha, excellent, excellent, I’ve finally waited for this day, finally waited for this day! Treasure, treasure, terrifyingly boundless treasure!" Roma Vulcan suddenly laughed, transforming into a speed of light, rushing toward the continuously crumbling Cloud Stone palace!

No one expected that at this moment, the laws of the entire Hidden World would crumble, and the primary reason for the crumbling of the Hidden World laws was only one: Roma Vulcan killed the four consecutively among the strongest of the Mortal World. This is the root of the Hidden World’s laws crumbling!

Just as Roma Vulcan had conjectured, the strongest seven from the Mortal World, upon entering the Hidden World, after years of coming and going, had linked their existence with the Hidden World’s laws. Once one of them perished, it would greatly disturb the world’s laws. Under such circumstances, it could potentially cause the laws within the Hidden World to break down. Consequently, the secrets of the Hidden World would be exposed entirely, and Roma Vulcan betted that the Hidden World was actually a formation with a terrifying treasure suppressed at the Array Eye, which was precisely his goal.

Originally, all these conjectures were not confirmed, at least not enough for complete belief. However, when the laws of this Hidden World truly went into chaos, even showing signs of collapsing, Ye Tianchen, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, and the man with the sword on his back personally witnessed the Cloud Stone palace crumbling; inside the palace, a beam of light burst forth, disquieting their minds with unparalleled strength. At such a time, in a frenzy, they rushed toward that palace, inevitably leading one to associate that this Hidden World truly was a formation, and that terrifyingly boundless treasure, what could it possibly be?
