Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Ye Tianchen's mouth. Ye Tianchen frowned severely, his face extremely grave. He felt that the soul within his body was being pulled by a powerful, invisible force, trying to forcibly pull it out of his flesh. Everyone knows that a human's flesh and soul are combined, and if the soul of an ordinary person separates from the body, it is certain death, with no chance of recovery. However, due to the unique cultivation of a Martial Artist, if the soul separates from the body, the body will be in a state of death. Although the soul remains alive, it will have no resistance, exposed to be slaughtered at will.

Now, Ye Tianchen suddenly felt a mysterious force, as if it grabbed his soul, forcibly pulling it out of his body, attempting to separate Ye Tianchen's live soul from his flesh. Once Ye Tianchen's body and soul are separated, no matter how great his abilities are, it's feared he would be unable to use them. Not even any Martial Arts Divine Skill or Supreme Treasure could protect him.

Without detecting the energy aura of a strong enemy, and without any powerful Martial Arts Divine Skill striking, Ye Tianchen, after watching Huang Jinkuang self-destruct and die, was about to leave this chaotic land when he suddenly felt his soul being pulled. How terrifying this was, not knowing where the strong enemy was, Ye Tianchen was naturally alarmed. The only thing he could do was to guard his divine mind, desperately controlling his powerful soul, not letting this mysterious force pull it out of his body. Besides this, he could do nothing else. Whether it be strong Martial Arts True Power, or formidable Martial Arts Divine Skill, they are all useless, even if deployed it would be in vain, because this is a battle of divine thoughts and souls, unrelated to those things.

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Ye Tianchen summoned the "Holy Heaven Prison," letting the chaos Qi within fall down, protecting himself from other Martial Artists' attacks. Then, Ye Tianchen focused entirely on controlling his divine thought, not letting his soul be pulled out. If succeeded by the strong enemy, Ye Tianchen would certainly die, this is no joke. This kind of invisible battle is even more heart-stirring than the violent Martial Arts Divine Skill battles.

"Hmm? Ye Tianchen seems to be controlled by some kind of force, desperately trying to break free from it, thus sitting cross-legged in the air!"

"Is that the Holy Heaven Prison? Such powerful chaos Qi, it's said chaos Qi is the root power of this Martial Arts World's creation, it's the immortal energy of the Immortal World. If we could obtain the Holy Heaven Prison and refine some of the chaos Qi within, I'm afraid my cultivation strength would improve by several stages."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Striking now to kill Ye Tianchen, he will certainly be powerless to fight back. This is a heaven-defying demon, killing him might be the best chance now..."

Swish!

Already, a Martial Artist couldn't resist rushing towards Ye Tianchen, thinking Ye Tianchen had no power to fight back. Under such circumstances, it's almost impossible to resist being pulled out while fighting someone else. Now, with just a slightly stronger force, Ye Tianchen could be shock killed, to seize the cultivation treasure and Supreme Treasure on him. The Martial Artist charging at Ye Tianchen was also immensely powerful, at the Martial Saint realm. Being a young talent from a cultivation family in the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World, despite being not as strong as Huang Jinkuang, against Ye Tianchen in his current state, such an expert's attack was a substantial threat to Ye Tianchen's life.

"Wind Fragmentation!"

The Martial Artist charging at Ye Tianchen, when approaching Ye Tianchen instantly, let out a loud shout, spit out powerful wind force, swiftly forming seals, and urged out Martial Arts True Power. Streams of force slaughtered towards Ye Tianchen, making the entire space seem like it was cut open by a wind knife, extremely terrifying, astonishing all viewers. If hit by such Martial Arts Divine Skill, one would instantly turn to ashes, being cut into pieces by the wind force.

"Such powerful Martial Arts True Power, the Feng Clan is indeed strong!"

"I can't just watch as the cultivation treasure and Supreme Treasure on Ye Tianchen are taken by the Feng Clan."

"Who can just watch it being taken away? We are equally unwilling."

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four more figures rushed toward Ye Tianchen, unwilling to let go of the cultivation treasure and Supreme Treasure on Ye Tianchen. For them, these are things worth risking lives for; they could not just watch the first Martial Artist grab them.

Pfft!

Unexpectedly, as the four figures prepared to charge in and kill Ye Tianchen to divide the cultivation treasure and Supreme Treasure on him, a sword light slashed down, severing the Martial Artist rushing first towards Ye Tianchen in half.

A spray of blood blossomed, the Martial Artist who first charged at Ye Tianchen was shocked and retreated hurriedly. But the "Taie Sword" within Ye Tianchen had already burst out, carrying a tremendous power of slaughtering force, approaching to kill that Martial Artist completely. As for the four Martial Artists charging from behind, they stopped not far away, with none daring to easily advance. No one anticipated, despite such a state, Ye Tianchen still possessed the ability to wield the Taie Sword, one of the ancient ten divine swords, to unleash slaughter, its power so formidable it was beyond expectation, making anyone reluctant to approach easily, dumbfounded at this scene, not knowing what fate awaited the Martial Artist who first tried to take advantage and kill Ye Tianchen.

"Don't, don't kill me, we have no grievances or enmity..." The martial artist was cut in half by the "Taie Sword", his body already invaded by the Power of Might of the "Taie Sword". He was almost devoid of combat power. With Ye Tianchen's cultivation realm, he was invincible among cultivators of the same stage and could even fight across realms against stronger opponents. This martial artist's cultivation was at the early-stage Martial Saint, a realm lower than Ye Tianchen. If not for Ye Tianchen being in such a state, the sword qi alone would have already taken this martial artist's life!

"No grievances or enmity? Then why did you ambush and try to kill me? Trying to tear me to pieces with wind? Too late!"

Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, calmly looking at the martial artist, with a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. The sword qi of the Taie Sword slashed down, and the martial artist, who first tried to take advantage, wanting to kill Ye Tianchen, turned into flying ashes amid screams, ending up with both divine form and soul annihilated.

One sword shock killed this strong early-stage Martial Saint cultivator, leaving the remaining four martial artists also wanting to take advantage stunned. They were all left looking at each other, none daring to recklessly charge in. They looked at Ye Tianchen, who sat cross-legged in midair, each unable to muster the courage to charge in, the slaying of the early-stage Martial Saint cultivator serving as a stark example.

"Does this... this guy still have combat power?"

"Unbelievable, he was clearly restrained by something, needing to concentrate fully to cope, otherwise he couldn't be like this, how does he still have such strength?"

"It seems it won't be easy for us to seize the cultivation treasure and Supreme Treasure from him."

"Unfathomable, heaven-defying demon!"

Puh!

A trace of fresh blood slipped from the corner of Ye Tianchen's mouth again. He indeed suffered serious injuries and felt a huge crisis. Just now, to slay this early-stage Martial Saint cultivator, Ye Tianchen disregarded his soul being pulled by mysterious forces, forcibly partitioned a bit of Divine Thought, and controlled the "Taie Sword" to open a massacre. Now he felt his soul being pulled to the edge of his body, and unless he found a way to solve this mysterious force, he was truly on the verge of a soul-body separation.

"Bleeding again? Seriously injured again?"

"Do you believe it? Just now he bled, and we all thought he was seriously injured, that he couldn't hold on any longer. We planned to take action to kill him and seize his cultivation treasures and Supreme Treasure. You saw what happened to that last person—early-stage Martial Saint realm, killed with one sword. I don't believe Ye Tianchen has no combat power now!"

"Forget it, let's just observe for now."

"The person hiding in the shadows, forcing Ye Tianchen to this extent, is truly powerful. No one knows where they inherited their skills. They don't even need to show up or use powerful martial arts divine skills, and it can still incite fear!"

Bang!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen did something completely unexpected by everyone. He slapped his own chest, forming a big hole that bled continuously. Ye Tianchen's face turned extremely pale, yet his gaze remained very determined. He was persisting, preventing his soul from being pulled out of his body.

"Tough, and with such determination, using pain like this to keep his Divine Sense clearer and stronger, controlling his soul from being pulled away—you're the first to do this."

Within Ye Tianchen's mind, a sinister voice appeared, very eerie, without anyone present. How could there be a voice in Ye Tianchen's mind?

"Inheritance from the Nine Netherworld, using binding of soul and body as a means. I just want to know, when did you plant such talismans on me?" Ye Tianchen asked coldly. (To be continued.
