"We've shed blood to fight here, who dares snatch the prey from the jaws of the tiger!"

Someone among the five grand beings bellowed; they were vying for possession of the earthen jar in the fiercest contest, where both humans and beasts were greatly depleted and utterly disheveled.

A figure adorned with nine dragons bled profusely, nearly torn in half by a savage beast, which itself was also wounded, with a large swath of bloody skin torn off.

As this bloody battle unfolded, the jar slipped beyond their control, which left them seething with fury.

"No! The jar has a hint of sentience; it's escaped our grasp by its own volition!" Lei Ting said with a solemn voice.

This old king, too, was engaged in a blood-soaked battle, his garments in tatters, resembling a scavenger.

However, the autonomous escape of the jar did not enrage him but instead sparked a sense of astonishment and suspicion.

"The jar is choosing its master!"

The five supreme beings were moved; the jar had developed its own sentience, escaping their grasp—a sentient being now choosing its own master!

...

The escape of the jar alarmed and infuriated the five grand beings, and it also shocked the many heroes watching the battle.

For the jar emitted a faint black glow and disappeared into the sky, passing over the heads of the multitude, and finally, remarkably, it landed on one person.

The jar fell into Ye Chen's embrace, which left him stunned and feeling somewhat surreal.

While the five great powers bloodily contested for the jar, it was unexpectedly and mysteriously Ye Chen who the jar landed on instead.

"Fang, didn't you just say that if I could hold the jar in my hands, you would marry me?" Ye Chen asked, holding the jar innocently.

"How... how could this be possible!" Fang was taken aback and momentarily lost her wits.

Ruolan knew of Ye Chen's good fortune because he had acquired treasures like the Qiankun Bag in the First Heaven.

But the saintess could have never imagined his luck to be this extraordinary!

Ye Chen had seemingly done nothing, merely boasting with her here, when the mysterious jar came to him of its own volition, striking directly into his embrace.

...

"The jar chooses its master, and the fated one is Ye Chen!"

Lei Ting witnessed this bizarre scene and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"This lad is indeed born with immense luck!" his profound eyes flickered with a hint of remarkable light.

The five grand beings fought so fiercely that heaven and earth were nearly shattered, yet none obtained the jar, which had chosen to land in Ye Chen's arms.

This inconceivable event silenced the heroes of the Second Heaven, all struck with utter astonishment!

Who says a jar couldn't fall from the sky?

Let the one who said that come out, I promise I won't slap him to death!

"Kill!"

A figure associated with nine dragons roared, charging toward Ye Chen's position, stirring boundless turmoil.

"Roar!"

The fierce beast roared, shaking the mountains and rivers, its mountainous body also charging to snatch the jar from Ye Chen.

"The nine dragons supreme being is ten miles away; let us kill that lad and seize the jar!"

The jar had flown to this location, ten miles from the five grand beings. Even if the nine dragons figure pursued, it would take dozens of breaths to reach them.

Powerful figures were lying in wait around Ye Chen, and upon seeing him acquire the treasured earthen jar, they grew envious. In an opportunistic surge, they rose to snatch the jar from Ye Chen!

"I am the closest to that lad; by obtaining the jar, even if I can't keep it, offering it to one of the nine dragons figures will still grant me many fortunes and the protection of such a powerful person!" one of them thought, his eyes blazing with greed.

"This is opportunity, this is destiny!" someone roared.

Ye Chen acquired the mysterious earthen jar and immediately became the target of covetous heroes, all of whom frenziedly attacked him.

The earthen jar was a treasure that even the most respected figures of the Nine Dragons would desperately fight over. Who wouldn't be enticed by such an object?

The individuals revered within the Nine Dragons were horrifically formidable; they engaged in a mortal struggle over the earthen jar. Naturally, the great powers dared not interfere, nor did they possess the capability to do so.

However, Ye Chen appeared to be a simpleton dazed by the earthen jar, the type that was easiest to bully.

But was Ye Chen really that easy to bully?

No, not at all. Ye Chen was anything but easy to bully; in fact, he was always the one bullying others!

With the earthen jar in hand, I possess the world. Ye Chen clung to the jar that had come flying his way, refusing to let go.

"Fang Ruolan, get out of here quickly. Don't drag me down!"

Upon acquiring the earthen jar, Ye Chen immediately roared at Fang Ruolan and, without hesitation, activated the Amplification Skill, unleashing twelve times his combat strength!

Ye Chen's Amplification Skill was extremely mystical. Although it could only normally amplify his combat strength tenfold, faced with life-and-death pressure, he mysteriously broke through his limits. His skill had enhanced significantly, enabling him to explode with twelve times his combat strength!

"Be careful!" Fang Ruolan quickly fell back in alarm.

Her combat strength was far weaker than Ye Chen's. Even with the Indestructible Vajra Gu, she could only protect herself.

Ye Chen was clearly aiming to forge a bloody path. If Fang Ruolan stayed by his side, she would only be a burden.

"This earthen jar has good judgment; it chose me, and I shall take responsibility for it!"

Ye Chen's blood-red eyes were intimidating as he took the initiative to meet the heroes head-on, determined to carve out a path drenched in blood.

The earthen jar had chosen Ye Chen, signifying a fateful connection. How could Ye Chen abandon his destined treasure?

Especially when the jar was so extraordinary that it incited the madness of the Nine Dragons figures, Ye Chen held onto it all the more fiercely.

As figures from the Nine Dragons were en route, Ye Chen was short on time. He needed to break through the encirclement as quickly as possible, or he would be hunted down and slain by the multitude!

Therefore, Ye Chen erupted, directly unleashing twelve times his combat strength!

"Youngster, release the earthen jar. It's not a treasure you can possess!"

The first to strike was a Qingyun powerhouse, his life force like a dragon. He swung his mighty hand, stirring up a wild gust, hoping to capture both Ye Chen and the treasure.

"Just a Qingyun, to be slain with a flip of my hand!" Ye Chen roared with a tyrannical aura.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen clashed with the Qingyun powerhouse, and their immense forces collided, unleashing a ferocious wave of energy that sent dust flying everywhere.

"Pfft!"

The Qingyun figure was sent flying, blood spitting from his mouth, his expression filled with extreme shock.

However, his shock came too late as his life force swiftly faded away. Ye Chen's strike had completely severed his chance at life!

With twelve times his combat strength unleashed, Ye Chen didn't hesitate to execute the "Dragon Elephant Overturn," a lethal move during their confrontation.

The body of the Qingyun figure smashed to the ground, a tragic end to his life.

Until his dying moment, he hadn't imagined that he would be utterly defeated by a junior, without any chance to escape!

Ye Chen suppressed the surging blood within him. Using Dragon Elephant Overturn to instantly eliminate the Qingyun figure took a significant toll on him.

But his intent was to strike like lightning, to deter some of the others!

"Whew!"

Ye Chen's figure moved swiftly, traversing the land as he sought to break out of this encirclement designed to trap a dragon.
