"Qin, long time no see, missed me?"

Ye Chen brushed the mud off his clothes, a warm smile hanging on his face, and he winked gently at Qin Yan.

The Heavenly Emperor Fist had devoured the most potent Dao seed, becoming the strongest martial art of the age. Ye Chen remained in a state of Nirvana until today, when he finally emerged transformed.

"Ye Chen, I've missed you!" Qin Yan nodded vigorously. "I've missed you terribly!"

"..."

Qing Luo stood quietly by the side, her heart so frightened it clenched tight.

These two were far too bold, speaking so openly and without any cover, not afraid to expose their relationship at all!

"..."

"Ye Chen, weren't you in seclusion? How did you come burrowing out of the ground?" Qin Yan asked.

"Indeed, I was in retreat, and this is where I was!" Ye Chen stamped his foot on the ground to emphasize.

Ye Chen had been in seclusion here, but half a month ago, two paragons battled fiercely on this spot, flattening the cave where Ye Chen was meditating.

As a result, Ye Chen had been buried beneath the rubble and had only just climbed out of the ruins.

"..."

After listening to Ye Chen's explanation, Qin Yan's face showed a bizarre expression. Ye Chen couldn't possibly be making up such a ridiculous lie to deceive her, could he? How could such coincidences happen in the world?

Qin Yan and Qing Luo were resting here when Tuoba Shanhe and his companions came to kill them. As they were at a loss, Ye Chen appeared, climbing out of the earth... Was this truly the workings of fate?!

Qin Yan was genuinely moved; Ye Chen had arrived just in time, and she was almost moved to tears!

"Qing Luo, it must have been hard on you in my absence!" At this moment, Ye Chen turned towards Qing Luo, his eyes filled with tenderness as he spoke softly.

Although Qin Yan had ascended to the Other Shore, her cultivation level was not top-tier. The temple was teeming with danger, and it's only thanks to Qing Luo's protection that Qin Yan had survived until now.

"You... It's good that you're back." Qing Luo looked at Ye Chen, her nose tingling, and she nearly burst into tears.

The Dragon Clan's temple was a place teeming with peril, filled with fierce battles. Qin Yan's cultivation level wasn't very strong; without Qing Luo's protection, acting as both a father and mother, caring for her every need, Qin Yan would certainly have met with a devastating fate.

Actually, Ye Chen's prolonged absence had filled Qing Luo with resentment. But his single greeting instantly dissolved her bitterness, making her feel as if life was beautiful again, as if all her hardships had been worthwhile!

Gazing upon Ye Chen's broad shoulders and handsome face, Qing Luo was smitten, longing to snuggle up to him like a little bird leaning on a person and throw herself into Ye Chen's arms...

However, with Qin Yan watching like a tiger ready to pounce, Qing Luo dared not be too overt in her affections.

"You actually set up an ambush here?!"

Ye Chen's emergence from the ground had stupefied Tuoba Shanhe for a while, making him blurt out such a sentence in confusion.

"Ambush your face, you big silly clod!"

While talking to the ladies, Ye Chen didn't even glance at him, Tuoba Shanhe was just too tall, and Ye Chen was afraid he might strain his neck from looking up.

"How dare you insult me like that!" Tuoba Shanhe roared angrily, his voice booming like thunder, causing the mountains to tremble as if they were collapsing.

"I did not insult you, I spoke the truth, you are indeed foolish, huge, and rugged!" Ye Chen said.

Tuoba Shanhe, the paragon of the Giant Clan, stood a thousand zhang tall, with the ability to break rivers with a foot and flatten mountains, truly a man of thick skin and raw flesh... calling him foolish, huge, and rugged was absolutely an accurate assessment.

"Bastard!"

Tuoba Shanhe had consolidated the Consolidated Hall, and even Fairy Qing Luo was under the threat of being hunted by him. The moment Ye Chen appeared, he was so arrogant, truly provoking Tuoba Shanhe's anger.

"Tuoba, don't get angry just yet. This man has always been arrogant. Today, with our forces combined, none of them will escape!" Li Tianyou intervened and said.

"Are you... my defeated minion?" Ye Chen looked at Li Tianyou, having some recollection of the man.

Li Tianyou was the prime Saint Heir of Primordial Holy Land, and Ye Chen had challenged the dignity of Primordial Holy Land; Li Tianyou had never ceased to be a thorn in his side.

However, Li Tianyou was not the strongest among them and had no hope of standing against Ye Chen. If it weren't for Ye Chen's concern about escalating the situation and exposing his identity, he would have slapped Li Tianyou to death long ago.

"You!"

Li Tianyou also grew furious, Ye Chen's words were infuriating, offering no face to others, enraging people to their core.

"Why are there only a few of you?" Ye Chen frowned. "Where are the Saintess Heavenly Fire and Qin Changsheng? Bring them along to meet their death!"

The Twin Supernatural Skill, Li Tianyou, the Saintess Heavenly Fire, Qin Changsheng, each of them young and supremely powerful, invincible in their right. They hailed from different sects but had once joined hands to attempt to quell Ye Chen.

"..."

When Ye Chen began speaking, the others fell silent, because... they had no retort.

The Saintess Heavenly Fire was an undefeated paragon, and so was Qin Changsheng, both having consolidated the Other Shore Palace, making them invincible opponents even to Long Chan.

However, Ye Chen's extreme arrogance, declaring he would kill this one and that one, left people speechless. Was he ignorant, or was he simply fearless?

"The Saintess Heavenly Fire and Qin Changsheng are contesting for Divine Artifacts, but we are more than enough to kill you!" declared the Twin Supernatural Skills, pressing down on Ye Chen.

"Honestly, the few of you trying to kill me is purely masochistic!" Ye Chen blatantly chose the path of arrogance, appearing supremely confident in front of anyone.

"Enough talk, come and fight!"

Tuoba Shanhe suddenly made his move. His thousand-zhang figure surged with immense pressure to crush Ye Chen.

"Even a little giant dares to be fierce. Where do you get the courage?" As Tuoba Shanhe made his imposing move, Ye Chen was unfazed, even somewhat disdainful.

"Prepare to die!"

A gigantic foot descended, enveloping the entire mountain range, intent on crushing Ye Chen and everything around him into dust!

Members of the Giant Clan are naturally gifted, their greatest strength being physical power. Saints of the Giant Clan achieved sainthood through strength, able to tear heaven and earth asunder with their bare bodies!

Tuoba Shanhe was a prodigy of the Giant Clan. Having encountered numerous adventures within the Ten Thousand Dragons Hall, he had consolidated the Other Shore Palace, ranking him among the top experts of the Giant Clan.

At this moment, as Tuoba Shanhe's foot came crashing down, his physical strength was exerted to the extreme, possessing the might to destroy both heaven and earth!

"Boom!"

The unstoppable descent of Tuoba Shanhe's foot meant Ye Chen, Qing Luo, and Qin Yan were all suppressed with a single stomp.

But as the foot landed, an anomaly occurred!

"Boom!"

The landscapes turned pale, and heaven and earth trembled.

Tuoba Huangshan staggered backward, and with a loud crash, he fell to the ground.

"What?" Li Tianyou's scalp tingled at the sight, a sense of dread overwhelming him.

"I already said, you seeking to kill me is simply masochism!" Ye Chen declared as he repelled Tuoba Shanhe with a punch and shook his fist.

"How can you be so strong!" Li Tianyou exclaimed in shock.

After comprehending the strongest Dao fruits and becoming the Other Shore Grand Master, Ye Chen was destined to be invincibly powerful! However, Ye Chen's strength was unnerving, stronger than expected, chilling to the bone.

Tuoba Shanhe was a Hall-level powerhouse, and with the mighty bloodline of the Giant Clan, he was considered among the strongest forces below a Saint!

But such a mighty giant prodigy was repelled just like that? Tuoba Shanhe was knocked down to the ground by a punch from Ye Chen!

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!"

Although Tuoba Shanhe had fallen, he was unharmed. He immediately got up and charged furiously for a desperate fight.

"I'm innately kind, but alas... reality forces the good into prostituion!" Ye Chen sighed. "I don't want to kill you, but you insist on courting death!"

"Boom!"

Just as Ye Chen was giving a speech, posing and posturing, the Twin Kings made their move.

This brother and sister duo were extremely powerful. Though they hadn't consolidated a hall, they possessed a combined Divine Skill that, when combined, could greatly boost their combat strength!

"Let's kill this brat together. You can have the treasure, I only want these two women!"

At that moment, a giant hand appeared out of nowhere, wielding the Heaven-Shaking Hammer, and swung down viciously at Ye Chen.

"Kill!"

Li Tianyou summoned eighty-one small flags around him, emitting terrifying fluctuations, all directed at slaughtering Ye Chen.

"Rumble—"

Ye Chen's might was astonishing. The Twin Kings, Wu He, Tuoba Huangshan, and others acted instantly, joining forces without hesitation to suppress Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen's fierceness was indescribable, somehow standing firm against the combined pressure of the group.

"Li Tianyou, Twin Kings, how many times have I repelled you? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Ye Chen said calmly and collectedly.

"When we fought before, we hadn't ascended to the Other Shore, our Divine Skills couldn't be fully unleashed!" Li Tianyou said. "Now, we've all ascended, our combat power has skyrocketed. In another battle, who will win is still unknown!"

The eighty-one small flags descended, sweeping out a horrific force, shattering the void, attacking Ye Chen. This flag formation held supreme power that could threaten those of the Hall level.

However, even with such terror before him, Ye Chen remained calm. He threw a simple punch without invoking any Divine Skills, a crisp and direct fist without any embellishments.

"Boom!"

With his punch, Ye Chen unraveled the terrifying force before him, and the eighty-one small flags started to show cracks.

"What, they're breaking? How is this possible!"

The appearance of cracks in the eighty-one small flags shocked Li Tianyou, his expression one of disbelief.

Each of the eighty-one flags was a treasure capable of shattering mountains and rivers. Combined into a killing array of eighty-one flags, it was Li Tianyou's most powerful treasure, his ultimate move!

Without consolidating an Other Shore Palace, Li Tianyou relied on this flag formation to contend with those of the Hall level, and he even had hopes of defeating them!

But Li Tianyou's most powerful attack couldn't withstand a single punch from Ye Chen!

"Primordial begins with the sky, and the earth stands first. The Primordial Sky and Earth!"

At this time, the Twin Kings joined forces, summoning their strongest Divine Skill, unveiling boundless terror.

"Boom!"

A mass of Chaos Qi appeared above the skies, which astonishingly began to evolve into a multitude of heavens! Ultimately, the Chaos Qi transformed into a cosmic embryo, descending slowly towards Ye Chen, as if intending to grind him to death.

"Twin Supernatural Skill, indeed extraordinary!" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed as he saw the cosmic embryo, showing a trace of admiration.

"Ye Chen, this is our ultimate Divine Skill, which has crushed Hall-level powerhouses!" the Twin Kings declared, standing atop the cosmic embryo, looking down upon him. "Even if you've consolidated the Other Shore Palace, you cannot withstand the suppression of a myriad of worlds... Accept your death peacefully!"

"You talk too much—if you can act, stop blabbering!" Ye Chen soared into the sky, facing the cosmic embryo head-on as he fearlessly threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The divine light surged to the heavens, and all the worlds trembled as the Heavenly Emperor Fist was unleashed!
