Zhanlu Sword!

?

Ultimately, it acknowledged Ye Tianchen as its master. As for why Zhanlu Sword chose Ye Tianchen to be its master, no one knows the answer. Even Ye Tianchen was extremely surprised. He never expected the Zhanlu Sword, which had always been in strong resistance, would help him block a fatal blow at the critical moment of his life!

?

This is simply a surprise out of nowhere. No one would have thought that Zhanlu Sword would act like this in such circumstances. Why is this?

?

Roma Vulcan was defeated, his body shattered, leaving only a head. If the head also turned to ashes, Roma Vulcan would be completely obliterated. He no longer had the power to resist, and it’s impossible for him to fight Ye Tianchen again. His failure was rooted in his own Heart Demon. He was too careless and overly desperate, yet he failed to shock kill Ye Tianchen!

?

At this moment, Roma Vulcan was truly at the end of his rope, and his obliteration was inevitable. However, Ye Tianchen did not immediately strike to kill him, even the gold foil that Roma Vulcan relied on was nailed in the void by Taie Sword, preventing him from easily harnessing its power!

?

But Roma Vulcan’s words shocked Ye Tianchen and also puzzled him greatly. Could the Buddhist Sect’s law be the root of all evil? How is that possible? It’s known that the Buddhist Sect’s heritage has been enduring throughout the Martial Arts World, both in the Mortal World and among martial artists. The Buddhist Sect’s heritage is widespread, and more importantly, in everyone’s eyes and hearts, the essence of the Buddhist Sect’s law is salvation, saving people and helping all beings, entirely impossible to associate with "evil". However, Roma Vulcan said that the Buddhist Sect’s law might be the origin of all evil, which completely overturned everyone’s thinking!

?

Ye Tianchen did not believe what Roma Vulcan said. His first impulse was absolute disbelief. But, looking at Roma Vulcan’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was lying. At this point, there’s no reason to deceive him. Could it be that there are some unknown secrets in the Buddhist Sect’s law?

?

"Why do you say the Buddhist Sect’s law is the root of all evil?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

?

"There’s no need for you to know now. Knowing won’t be useful to you. I believe one day you will understand because you are the possessor of the Yijin Jing, hahaha!" Roma Vulcan laughed as he spoke.

?

Swoosh!

?

In the instant Ye Tianchen was stunned, Roma Vulcan’s head swiftly flew towards a nearby spot. Over there, the void of the Hidden World kept shattering, and a huge black hole appeared, into which Roma Vulcan hurled his head, committing suicide.

?

"Even in death, I’ll pull you down with me... Right, I seem to see your death, see your despair. You are too burdened by karma, inescapable!" Roma Vulcan coldly looked at Ye Tianchen and laughed sinisterly as he spoke.

?

Boom!

?

It exploded. Roma Vulcan’s head shattered into a cloud of blood mist. His suicide wasn’t particularly surprising, since for someone like Roma Vulcan, with nothing else to cling to following his failure, it’s understandable.

?

Rumble!

?

Yet, after Roma Vulcan smashed his head against that Void Black Hole, the entire Hidden World seemed to fall into chaos. The explosion sounded everywhere, with Void Black Holes spreading around. The Hidden World, which was already crumbling, seemed to accelerate its downfall because of Roma Vulcan’s death!

?

"No, we must leave here quickly, otherwise we might be swallowed by the Void Black Hole!" The blade-carrying man looked around impatiently and said.

?

"Let’s go; there’s nothing more to linger here!" The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm nodded and said.

?

"Yes!" Ye Tianchen nodded in agreement.

?

Who would have thought!

?

Just as Ye Tianchen, the Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm, and the blade-carrying man were preparing to rush out of the Hidden World, suddenly, towering statues of Buddha appeared from all directions, each emanating a powerful force, seemingly surrounding the entire Hidden World. This caused Ye Tianchen and his companions to frown intently!

?

"The power of these statues... No, it’s Roma Vulcan, that false monk, wanting our lives!" The blade-carrying man reacted and spoke with shock.

?

"No wonder he would commit suicide, no wonder he would say he’d pull us down with him. It turns out such a backup plan was preserved!" The Great Elder of the Kunlun Secret Realm couldn’t help but frown and say.

?

"We must go all out and act swiftly, the entire Hidden World could vanish into the Void Black Holes in a moment!" Ye Tianchen frowned as he looked at the advancing Void Black Holes.

?

Boom!

?

Boom!

?

Bang!

?

Ye Tianchen, the blade-wielding man, and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, all realized the danger and attacked with full force, blasting ahead. It turned out that Roma Vulcan used this move, accelerating the devouring of the Void Black Hole in the Hidden World with his own death. Furthermore, inside the Hidden World, Roma Vulcan still retained his Buddhist Law power, entrapping Ye Tianchen and the other two. Although the manifested Buddha statues, due to Roma Vulcan’s complete annihilation, became less powerful, they still blocked the steps of Ye Tianchen and his companions. At this juncture, even a second could mean the difference between life and death!

?

Bang-dong!

?

With a loud noise, Ye Tianchen, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, and the blade-wielding man finally managed to break out a gap. However, there were still many manifested Buddha statues gathering together, desperately trying to stop Ye Tianchen and the other two. Ye Tianchen turned back and looked behind; the Hidden World had completely collapsed, especially the Void Black Hole, which was like a ferocious beast pouncing towards them with astonishing power and incredible speed. Everything vanished wherever it passed; no one dared to underestimate such a Void Black Hole. There are records of Ancient Saints entering the Void Black Hole, never to be seen again. Who would dare to have such courage and fearlessness?

?

"Go!" The blade-wielding man spoke.

?

"If we die here, it would be too unjust!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm also spoke.

?

"Brother, elder, you go first, I’ll hold them off for a moment!" Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

?

"No, it’s too dangerous, you’ll lose your life." The blade-wielding man immediately opposed.

?

"We should all rush out together; even those in the Saint Realm dare not touch the Void Black Hole. Don’t take risks!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm also opposed.

?

"You go first; otherwise none of us will make it out. I will be fine; the Treasure I carry is enough to keep me alive!" Ye Tianchen immediately said.

?

The situation was extremely critical at this time. The Void Black Hole transformed into a ferocious beast, seemingly unwilling to let any lifeblood escape, rapidly rushing forward and reaching close in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, there were still Buddha statues continuously converging around. Although these statues weren’t very strong, they were distracting and delayed time. Ye Tianchen glanced, and despite the Formation of the Hidden World being broken open slightly, it was still very difficult for all three to escape, especially with the Void Black Hole charging in. Without someone to hold it off for a moment, none of them would escape. At this moment, someone had to take a risk, even sacrifice, or all three would perish!

?

"Run quickly, or it will be too late, none of us will escape!" Ye Tianchen shouted loudly.

?

The blade-wielding man and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm both frowned. They knew the gravity of the situation and acknowledged that Ye Tianchen was right. Without someone to fend off the Void Black Hole temporarily, they would all die here; none would survive!

?

"Brother, you must come out alive!" The blade-wielding man tightly clenched his fist and said.

?

"Young friend, I believe in your strength!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, not one for hesitating, said.

?

Whoosh!

?

Whoosh!

?

The blade-wielding man and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm quickly flew towards the gap blasted open in the Hidden World, while Ye Tianchen turned back, no longer fleeing, clenched his fists tightly, watched the crushing Void Black Hole, calmly said:

?

"Let me take the risk!"

?

Boom!

?

Ye Tianchen was swallowed by the Void Black Hole and, at this time, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm and the blade-wielding man had already rushed out of the Hidden World. Naturally, they did not leave, as Ye Tianchen took the risk to buy them time to escape, almost a gamble with nine lives at risk, yet he did it. How could they be so ungrateful as to leave?

?

Watching the continually closing Void Black Hole and the continuous disappearance of the Hidden World, both the blade-wielding man and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm were extremely tense, involuntarily clenching their fists. However, at this time, they were powerless and couldn’t charge back into the Hidden World, only able to watch helplessly, anxious and feeling very helpless!

?

"Brother, you must come out alive!" The blade-wielding man tightly clenched his own fist and said.

?

"The young friend is a person of deep emotion and righteousness, with responsibility. I hope he can survive and rush out!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm sighed and said.

?

In fact, the blade-wielding man and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm understood that the chance of survival for those who chose to stay behind and delay time right now was zero...
