"The Jin family wants to continue its dominance, but I'm afraid I, Ye Tianchen, won't allow it!" Ye Tianchen said calmly, looking at Huang Jinkuang.

"Hmph, you little brat, you do have some strength, but compared to me, you're far behind, not to mention being a match for my Jin family. I alone am enough to kill you!" Huang Jinkuang said confidently.

Though Huang Jinkuang was confident, he did not immediately attack Ye Tianchen. He hadn't expected Ye Tianchen's strength to be so formidable. On this Earth, unsuitable for cultivation, reaching the Martial Saint Realm is enough to conquer the world. However, when an era of unstoppable cultivation is about to arrive, many unimaginable events will occur. Many Heaven-defying Sons will emerge, breaking the established Magic Law of this Martial Arts World. With various races standing tall and countless strong ones, Heaven-defying Sons are constantly engaging in defiant acts. This is a sign of the coming cultivation era. Now, on Earth, such signs are already present. Originally, Martial Saint Realm experts could reign over this Earth where strong ones are rare. Yet, now Martial Saint Realm experts are emerging one after another, defying the norm of this Martial Arts World...

"Then try to kill me!" Ye Tianchen still looked calmly at Huang Jinkuang and said.

"Kill you? No rush. Dare to follow me somewhere?" Huang Jinkuang thought for a moment and then sneered.

"Why not? Anywhere you dare to go, I, Ye Tianchen, dare to go!" Ye Tianchen said, showing no weakness, his expression resolute. He knew that the domineering Jin family had always been arrogant and imperious. In their eyes, the life of any person was akin to grass. Even if you showed weakness, they would still act aggressively and kill you. So, it was better to face them head-on and strike back just as forcefully.

"Then follow me. I'll ensure you wish for death over life, begging for mercy..." Huang Jinkuang sneered and disappeared into the air.

Ye Tianchen did not hesitate for a moment. With a flicker, he performed the "Divine Movement Skill" and followed in Huang Jinkuang's direction. He wasn't mindless or oblivious to the possibility of Huang Jinkuang harboring a grand conspiracy or traps awaiting him. However, Ye Tianchen had firmed his beliefs that overthinking would lead to timidity. His core principle was to sweep through any obstacles head-on. Huang Jinkuang wanted to kill him, and the Jin family wouldn't let him go, so he, Ye Tianchen, wouldn't let the Jin family go either. It was that simple.

Huang Jinkuang used Qi Manipulation Flight ahead and turned coldly to glance at Ye Tianchen, frowning unconsciously. He was using the Jin family's "Golden Wind," a powerful Qi Manipulation Flying Skill, an ancient secret technique. Once performed, it allowed the practitioner to move like the wind, with few able to keep up with his speed. Yet, Ye Tianchen closely followed behind, showing no sign of lagging. Even when Huang Jinkuang increased his Martial Arts True Qi push, he couldn't shake Ye Tianchen off, who kept closely following. This puzzled him. What Qi Manipulation Flying Divine Skill was Ye Tianchen using to be so fast?

"Keep up, will you? This time, not only will I destroy your essence and form, Ye Tianchen, but I'll also have you on your knees, begging for mercy. Father tasked me to ensure that while killing you, our Jin family's reputation would soar. We cannot let the incident with the eighth brother tarnish our Jin family's prestige, nor affect Father's position as Family Head." Huang Jinkuang thought ruthlessly to himself.

This time, after learning about his son Jin Qiyun's death, the Jin family's Huangjin Wudao was naturally furious. However, his anger wasn't due to the pain of losing his son. More critically, Jin Qiyun's death brought disgrace to the Jin family and further made Huangjin Wudao lose face. This was a significant loss of face for him and made his position as Family Head a bit unstable. It was already challenging for him to become Family Head, overseeing the entire Jin family. Behind him, a group of discontented old folks in the Jin family was waiting to mock him. If any major problem arose during his tenure, this group, already dissatisfied and unwilling for him to be the Family Head, would surely seize the opportunity to oust him. Having used various means to become Family Head, there was no way he'd let himself be easily removed. No way at all.

So, Huangjin Wudao sent his seventh son, Huang Jinkuang. In terms of battle power and cultivation, Huang Jinkuang was far stronger than Jin Qiyun. Even though Huang Jinkuang had just reached the Mid-stage Martial Saint realm and had yet to stabilize it, for him to achieve such cultivation on Earth, unsuitable for cultivation, at just over thirty years old, could indeed be called a prodigy. Of course, anomalies like Ye Tianchen were rare. However, Huangjin Wudao was confident in his seventh son because, more than his cultivation battle power surpassing that of Jin Qiyun, Huang Jinkuang's physical prowess made him the strongest among his nine sons. Huang Jinkuang's formidable physique was due to being used as a test subject by Huangjin Wudao during childhood. A drop of ancient fierce beast's blood from ancient relics was injected into him. During that time, Huang Jinkuang screamed and fainted for five days and nights. Upon awakening, he radiated a fierce beast's aura, and his physique was incredibly powerful. Years of tempering made him rare in finding rivals in physical strength.

In Huangjin Wudao's eyes, losing one or two sons was inconsequential. To become Family Head, he even killed his father. What mattered most to him was controlling the entire Jin family and using its power to make him the leader of the three great Ancient Martial Worlds.

When sending Huang Jinkuang out, he instructed that Huang Jinkuang not only kill Ye Tianchen but also restore the Jin family's prestige, tarnished due to Jin Qiyun's death, by killing Ye Tianchen. In other words, he wanted everyone in the three great Ancient Martial Worlds to know that anyone daring to oppose the Jin family would end up dead.

For thousands of years, every hundred years, the Jin family would see a young prodigy emerge and sweep through the three great Ancient Martial Worlds, showcasing their dominance. However, when Jin Qiyun appeared, he met Ye Tianchen and was killed, shattering the Jin family's awe-inspiring momentum built over thousands of years. This was a heavy blow to the entire Jin family. For Huangjin Wudao, having just assumed the Family Head position, this incident meant that his future might not be smooth.

In truth, it wasn't that the Jin family wasn't dominant, but Jin Qiyun was unlucky to encounter Ye Tianchen, such a fearless being, or should I say a Heaven-defying farce. What also mattered was that this Martial Arts World was quietly undergoing some kind of change. Signs of a prodigy-filled era, reminiscent of the cultivation times a billion years ago, were already emerging. Hence, the Jin family wanting to sweep through as before was nearly impossible. Things were vastly different compared to hundreds of years ago. In this generation, even on Earth, with its thin Spiritual Energy and unsuitability for cultivation, many young prodigies emerged, one stronger than the next. Jin Qiyun alone couldn't possibly dominate, marking him as truly unfortunate.

About an hour and a half later, Huang Jinkuang halted above a mountain range and coldly looked at Ye Tianchen, saying, "You're about to die, so I'm giving you a great gift!"

Ye Tianchen frowned slightly, not speaking. He surveyed the surroundings and realized he had reached the juncture between the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and the Heavenly Ancient Martial World. These two Ancient Martial Worlds were peculiar, with a small distance between them and an intersection point. This place was rarely visited. Most martial artists pass through quickly, daring not to linger because here lies a toxic land shrouded in poisonous miasma, where anyone entering would immediately turn into a pool of pus, with no chance of survival. Linger here, and it spells certain death.

"This gift is quite nice. I've invited many martial artists from the Ancient Martial Worlds to watch how you die!" Huang Jinkuang laughed heartily.

Suddenly, many martial artists appeared around this toxic land, seemingly having waited here for a while, all with expressions of watching a good show. Below them was this toxic land full of poisonous miasma, where any contact would result in death, leaving no bones behind.

"Looks like you've prepared well, wanting to kill me in front of so many people to exalt the name of your Jin family..." Ye Tianchen said calmly, looking at Huang Jinkuang.

"You've only guessed half of it; you will indeed die but wish for death over living, begging for mercy!" Huang Jinkuang looked at Ye Tianchen with utmost malice and shouted. (To be continued.
