Roma Vulcan meticulously planned for so long, sacrificing from a high monk in the Buddhist Sect to a murderous demon, all for the terrifying treasure in the hidden world—this "Zhanlu Sword".

Unfortunately, he perhaps didn’t anticipate Ye Tianchen and the large man with the knife to break in, even less did he expect that Ye Tianchen’s strength exceeded his imagination, enough to wage a fight against him without being defeated, even as all his plans had succeeded, the hidden world’s magic laws began to collapse, the palace built by the Cloud Stone was tottering, and as the Zhanlu Sword treasure came forth. He didn’t foresee that at this moment, he would be blocked by the large man with the knife, only able to watch helplessly as the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm and Ye Tianchen continuously attempted to subdue the Zhanlu Sword!

The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm gave his all, wanting to get hold of the Zhanlu Sword, to subdue it, yet he failed. Despite being an elder with profound cultivation realm and a high mental realm, he sees things clearly, knowing what’s not his, he doesn’t force it. Perhaps such a disposition is not suitable in the Martial Arts World, where everything requires struggle, snatching, forcing, but sometimes this mental realm is still beneficial for one’s cultivation realm.

Ye Tianchen, after the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm failed to subdue the Zhanlu Sword, also attempted to, putting Martial Arts True Power and Rune Power to use, yet he didn’t succeed in subduing the Zhanlu Sword. However, Ye Tianchen differs from the Great Elder; he is someone who likes to force and is a person who will never give up, possessing strong confidence and perseverance, setting him on a path much further than the Great Elder predicted, with achievements far surpassing those of the elder!

But what the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm didn’t expect was, assuming Ye Tianchen would employ other Martial Arts Divine Powers or use treasures of the same level, like the Taie Sword in his hand, to subdue the Zhanlu Sword after failing with Martial Arts True Qi and Rune Power, Ye Tianchen simply stepped forward, walking towards the Zhanlu Sword!

The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm felt shocked, even somewhat astonished, truly not imagining Ye Tianchen doing this, unexpectedly approaching the Zhanlu Sword after failing to subdue it using Martial Arts True Power and Rune Power, in a move that was utterly reckless, suicidal; anyone wouldn’t undertake such a thing, yet Ye Tianchen did. Was he foolish, or excessively obsessed?

You must know, as the Zhanlu Sword emerged, appearing in the palace crafted by the Cloud Stone, the magic laws of the entire hidden world crumbled. That beam of sword light soared sky-high, a force none could resist, witnessed by all. Now the Zhanlu Sword, though submerged inside the palace, without major powers erupting, yet who dares to approach this sword lightly? Approaching this divine sword lightly is seeking death, it’s a reckless venture!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen only took two steps forward, and from within the Zhanlu Sword burst forth a slaughter aura, directly slashing towards Ye Tianchen, but Ye Tianchen naturally wouldn’t sit idly, instantly swung a fist glow, forcibly smashing the slaughter aura. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was formidable, domineering, with a feeling of not resting until obtaining the Zhanlu Sword!

"Young friend, you’re too reckless, approaching the Zhanlu Sword is dangerous!" the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm couldn’t help but remind.

"Rest assured, elder, I know my limits, this Zhanlu Sword is mine for the taking!" Ye Tianchen said with a determined tone.

Boom!

Flames ignited, as Ye Tianchen instantly burned his physical body power, enveloped entirely by golden light. This time, he held nothing back, burning all of his physical power, step by step approaching the Zhanlu Sword, intending to clash with the Zhanlu Sword outright, forcibly taking it into his hands; this was Ye Tianchen’s perseverance and domineering spirit!

Seeing Ye Tianchen’s courage and determination, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm nodded, no longer speaking, only feeling that the young man before him would eventually become a mighty martial artist, reaching heights many would look up to!

Ye Tianchen burned his physical body power completely without any reserve, solely to protect himself from the powerful sword aura of the Zhanlu Sword. Simultaneously, his two hands formed fists, converging martial arts true power, step by step advancing toward the Zhanlu Sword. If faced with powerful slaughter sword energy, Ye Tianchen would swing fist glow to resist, smashing the sword auras!

Boom!

The Zhanlu Sword seemed to possess spiritual awareness, sensing Ye Tianchen’s domineering presence, step by step pressing towards it, immediately quivering slightly, as a sword energy flew from the Zhanlu Sword, transforming into a tangible sword light, slashing towards Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow slightly, the sword light was exceedingly strong, distinctly differing from the previous slaughter aura, he dared not be negligent in the slightest, immediately unleashing a fist power of "Overlord Fist", intending to forcibly shatter this sword energy!

Bang!

Who would have thought, when this Sword Qi crashed down, the Overlord Fist that Ye Tianchen threw out also struck the Sword Qi. However, the force of the Overlord Fist shattered and couldn’t stop this Sword Qi. This shocked Ye Tianchen. Even the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm standing aside was taken aback. It was clear that he also did not expect this Sword Qi from the Zhanlu Sword to be so powerful.

"You’re strong, I’ll be stronger. Follow me, and you’ll reach another new height!" Ye Tianchen said, looking at the Zhanlu Sword with an unbelievably determined gaze.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With three consecutive punches, Ye Tianchen unleashed his blows against the Sword Qi emitted by the Zhanlu Sword. Fortunately, the force of the Overlord Fist was also strong enough. After Ye Tianchen unleashed three powerful punches, he finally blocked the Sword Qi from the Zhanlu Sword. Yet, this made Ye Tianchen even more cautious and shocked. The power of the Zhanlu Sword far exceeded his imagination. For this Divine Sword, Ye Tianchen became even more determined to obtain it!

Relying on the might of his Physical Body Power, Ye Tianchen blocked the Sword Qi emitted by the Zhanlu Sword. Using the force of the "Overlord Fist" to clear the way, when the Zhanlu Sword attacked him, he shattered its power. Step by step, he slowly approached the Zhanlu Sword, facing it head-on, less than half a meter away!

When Ye Tianchen, with his body burning with Physical Body Power, reached in front of the Zhanlu Sword, he was surprised that this highly spiritual Zhanlu Sword did not flee. Instead, it still floated in mid-air, only its aura had somewhat changed, becoming more powerful and calm. Could it be that the autonomous spiritual nature of the Zhanlu Sword was similar to Ye Tianchen’s, a character that doesn’t retreat?

"You don’t run, and naturally, I won’t run. Follow me, be with your brothers and sisters!" Ye Tianchen said playfully, looking at the Zhanlu Sword.

After Ye Tianchen finished speaking, he reached out, grabbing toward the Zhanlu Sword with his right hand. As he grasped the Zhanlu Sword, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn’t help but say, "Submit to me, and I’ll let you reach higher realms!"

Swoosh!

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Ye Tianchen was taken aback because he felt a sense of ominousness, a very bad premonition. Just as he was about to escape, it seemed as though something had enveloped him. The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm outside was also startled, quickly saying, "Retreat quickly, you’re surrounded by Sword Qi, trapped within it!"

At this point, upon hearing the words of the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, Ye Tianchen snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but glance around. When he looked around, he realized he was indeed enveloped in Sword Light. He didn’t know when such a situation had occurred, leaving Ye Tianchen bewildered and unsure of what to do at the moment!

At the time, inside the palace built of Cloud Stone, the Zhanlu Sword, still floating in mid-air, had not fled. Despite Ye Tianchen’s strength and determination, he approached it step by step, extending his right hand to grasp it. The Zhanlu Sword remained in place. Just when Ye Tianchen thought he had succeeded, he found himself enveloped by a massive Sword Light, along with the Zhanlu Sword!

Bang!

Throwing a punch, Ye Tianchen struck backwards. However, when his punch struck the Sword Qi enveloping him, not only did it fail to shatter the Sword Light, but it caused the Sword Light to surge in all directions, transforming into numerous small Zhanlu Swords aimed at Ye Tianchen! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Rumble!

After blocking the killing intent of these small Zhanlu Swords, Ye Tianchen frowned deeply. He was silently and unknowingly enveloped by a Sword Light, which was truly surprising. Could it be that he had fallen into the trap of this Zhanlu Sword? Thinking about it, it seemed very likely. With the spirituality and pride of this Zhanlu Sword, it wouldn’t easily allow anyone to approach. Yet now, Ye Tianchen had reached the Zhanlu Sword’s side step by step without significant hindrance. It might really be the scheme of this "Zhanlu Sword"! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
