"Oh my god... Did a person rush out from this ancient mountain?"

"No way, we can't even withstand the domain outside. The domain inside this mountain would give even an Ancient Saint a headache, and they'd dare not enter recklessly. Yet, there's someone in there. Who could it be? They must be incredibly powerful!"

"Damn it, this is utterly overwhelming. There's someone in the mountain. How powerful must they be? Is it a Demon God?"

"It must be a figure defying the heavens..."

No one expected that while all the martial artists were excited and thrilled, gearing up to witness the emergence of the treasure, a figure suddenly rushed from the cracked mountain, attacking the crowds of the Xinyang family, the Tripod Sect, and the Wang family. Even before the three major groups could react, their martial artists exploded in succession, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With just a single encounter, the Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family had over ten martial artists explode. These people were not weak in their cultivation realms, but unfortunately, their cultivation was suppressed. In such a powerful domain formation, it was challenging to unleash their full potential, leading to their somewhat unjust deaths!

However, the three Supreme Elders of the three major groups did not act slowly either. They quickly activated a power from their secret treasures, protecting the remaining martial artists from each of their groups. But sadly, this happened so suddenly. Apart from the Supreme Elders, only two or three martial artists were left from each of the three groups. This loss was quite severe. It's important to know that this time, the Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family were all determined to obtain the treasure, bringing along martial artists with high cultivation realms, including some young prodigy disciples, to expand their horizons. Who knew that before the treasure truly emerged, they would suffer such heavy casualties. If this continued, wouldn't everyone from the three groups die here?

"Who are you to dare slaughter our Xinyang family members like this? Are you seeking death?" questioned the Xinyang family's Supreme Elder sternly.

"Even if you are a demon from this mountain, I will kill you!" The Tripod Sect's Supreme Elder was eager, with a murderous impulse.

"Hateful, once our Wang family obtains that treasure, we will definitely tear you to pieces!" the Wang family's Supreme Elder said, trembling with rage.

The Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family are immensely powerful forces in the Penglai Ancient Martial World. None of them are weak. These three groups have a long history with deep foundations. Unfortunately, ever since Ye Tianchen appeared in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, these three groups have been repeatedly embarrassed and humiliated, losing much of their prestige. They thought Ye Tianchen was finally dead, but then another demon surged out from this mountain, slaughtering elite martial artists from their groups with just a single encounter. All of them were the elite of the three groups!

"With just you three groups wanting to obtain that treasure, it's pure wishful thinking. The way you're acting, I don't mind killing you all here!" Ye Tianchen said as he turned, letting everyone see his true face. At that moment, everyone present was dumbfounded, shocked, and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Ye Tianchen no longer used the "Bone Transformation Skill" to hide his appearance. Instead, he appeared openly before everyone, coldly gazing at the people from the three major groups: the Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family. These ruthless groups only had a few people left now. When they saw Ye Tianchen, they were petrified, unable to believe that he was still alive and seemingly unharmed. Could it be that he withstood the pressure from within the mountain and successfully gathered his body again to survive? It was unbelievable and seemed utterly impossible. To know, the domain within the Immortal Light Array was so powerful that even an Ancient Saint might not have the capability to survive under such conditions when Ye Tianchen was gravely injured and on the verge of death. How did he manage it?

"My goodness, this kid's still alive?"

"How is it possible? Is there something wrong with my eyes, or am I under a Martial Arts Illusion Technique? How is Ye Tianchen still alive?"

"A demon, a freak! He did something even an Ancient Saint couldn't do. How did he do it?"

"Why, why is Ye Tianchen still alive..."

The whole scene was boiling over. Everyone was utterly shocked and couldn't believe that Ye Tianchen, in such a critically injured state, before crashing into the mountain, was already at his limit. Crashing into the mountain should have only resulted in a more powerful domain, leading to a quicker, more complete death. Why? Why was Ye Tianchen still alive and seemingly unharmed? It was too surprising. Even something an Ancient Saint couldn't achieve, how did Ye Tianchen manage it? Could it be he was a heaven-defying demon carrying some incredibly powerful treasure?

"Does this guy... have some life-extending Immortal Elixir or a Supreme Emperor's Artifact on him? Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason he could survive!"

Amidst the shocked gazes and discussions, Ye Tianchen coldly glanced at the people from the three major groups. He could sense that the Supreme Elders from the Xinyang family, Tripod Sect, and Wang family all had very high cultivation realms. Even in this special domain surrounded by the Immortal Light Array, they possessed astonishing combat power. Moreover, these three old figures harbored some secret treasures on them, exuding powerful auras. If they were to fully unleash their power, it would not be easy for Ye Tianchen to defeat them all. Furthermore, Ye Tianchen had no desire to engage in a life-and-death struggle with these three old figures at this moment because the treasure was about to emerge, and he didn't know what other changes might occur. The Original Restricted Zone contained several ancient creatures that had yet to appear. None of them had emerged, which was unusual. Were they waiting for the moment the treasure appeared to launch a Thunder Strike? That would be extremely terrifying, and Ye Tianchen had to be cautious. At this moment, what he wanted to do was simple—to save his friends, those who stood by his side in the most critical times. Pangu Yun, Huo Xianer, Jing Wuhuan, and Little Zhu Yan had all made their stance clear in the face of life and death. There's no need to say more. They were friends, and Ye Tianchen believed so.

"Kid, what exactly do you want?" the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family asked coldly.

"Not much, just let my friends go, or I'll kill you all!" Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

"Hahaha, boasting aren't we? You may be impressive, but you're not enough to challenge us!" The Tripod Sect's Supreme Elder laughed dismissively.

"Exactly, do you think you can kill all three of us?" The Wang family's Supreme Elder also asked coldly.

Ye Tianchen remained calm. At this moment, having survived with the help of Qin Kongdao to reshape his body, although he didn't know who Qin Kongdao was or what kind of mysterious power he had, Ye Tianchen could feel that he could stand at the Peak of his cultivation realm. Especially in this special domain surrounded by the Immortal Light Array, even when facing the three wicked old figures from the three major groups, he was not afraid. Even if he couldn't kill them all, he could at least hold them off by himself. He had such confidence.

"I indeed cannot kill each of you one by one, but in this special environment, I can hold you three back without issue. Once I hold you back, will any of your three groups still have a chance when the treasure emerges? Furthermore, the Original Restricted Zone itself already harbors several monstrous beings who have yet to appear. I think they are waiting for the right moment, and you three have paid such a high price to obtain the treasure. If, in the end, you don't get any piece of it, you'll probably die from anger, right?" Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"Are you saying you plan to stop our three groups from obtaining the treasure?" the Xinyang family's Supreme Elder asked harshly.

"Are you trying to stop our three groups from getting the treasure?" the Supreme Elder of the Xinyang family asked fiercely.

Ye Tianchen was very calm and didn't want to waste time, saying: "You old folks sure think fast. We're here primarily for the treasure. As for any grudges, I don't want to do a life-and-death thing with you guys right now. Once the treasure emerges, we'll see who has the skill to take it. How about that?" (To be continued.
