[Subscribe please! Please support the official release!]Destroying Heaven Divine Son!

Powerful!

Steady and ruthless!

This is the impression Ye Tianchen has of him!

Whether in Feng Hanzi’s view, Wang Yan’s, or others who haven’t entered the "Sky Tomb," this Destroying Heaven Divine Son is so strong, he must be arrogant. But Ye Tianchen is no pushover either; he’s equally powerful. Once these two meet, it could only be an earth-shattering battle!

However, surprisingly, when the Destroying Heaven Divine Son appeared, he calmly conversed with Ye Tianchen, without a deep animosity or confrontation. Ye Tianchen was equally indifferent, but he understood well that the Destroying Heaven Divine Son was an extraordinarily strong young martial artist, not just strong but also deeply scheming, a truly ruthless character!

In the Martial Arts World, the ones to be most cautious of are not the overwhelmingly powerful, arrogant ones, but those whose strength is immeasurable, who are calm and reserved, skilled in plotting. Such brave and wise individuals are the hardest to deal with, and in Ye Tianchen’s view, the Destroying Heaven Divine Son is such a person!

Wang Yan and Feng Hanzi were arguing, while Ye Tianchen stepped forward. The Destroying Heaven Divine Son sat cross-legged calmly, staring deep into the sea of fire, saying leisurely:

"This past year, I’ve been contemplating here. I didn’t expect that thing to be so strong. Even if you and I combine our forces, we might not obtain it!"

"Haha, that’s your thought, not mine. I’ve come, and I won’t return empty-handed!" Ye Tianchen replied with a faint smile.

"Good, truly courageous. I thought the young martial artists they summoned this time would be mere waste, but it turns out there are people like you. Perhaps there’s a sliver of chance!" said the Destroying Heaven Divine Son in a deep voice.

"Tell me, where exactly in the Sky Tomb is that thing? I suppose you wouldn’t want to waste too much time either, right?" Ye Tianchen asked casually.

The Destroying Heaven Divine Son glanced at Ye Tianchen, suddenly smiling, "In the Southern State, not many, even among the older generation martial arts experts, can beat me. If there’s anyone among the young martial artists who can fight me, it might only be Feng Yuhua of the Divine Wind Sect. Now, there’s you, the Tongtian Taoist. Interesting, fascinating!"

"I think so too. Should we take action now to fetch the thing from the Sky Tomb?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"Are you so eager, are you truly confident?" the Destroying Heaven Divine Son playfully asked.

"Whether I’m confident is another matter. If you don’t want to tell, I’ll explore on my own!" Ye Tianchen said, appearing ready to step forward.

Ye Tianchen knew that the Destroying Heaven Divine Son had been contemplating here for over a year and must know more than he did. However, after a few words, the Destroying Heaven Divine Son had yet to touch on the crucial points. Clearly, he was being guarded, unwilling to divulge too much to Ye Tianchen about the matters inside the "Sky Tomb." Therefore, Ye Tianchen prepared to explore on his own. Besides, even if the Destroying Heaven Divine Son did share something about the "Sky Tomb," could he completely trust it?

Destroying Heaven Hall!

What kind of legacy is it, Ye Tianchen doesn’t know. He just finds the four words somewhat familiar but can’t recall from where. However, Ye Tianchen understands one thing: if Destroying Heaven Hall can use an ancient formation to trap the "Sky Tomb," it’s quite extraordinary. Especially when the Destroying Heaven Divine Son appeared, Ye Tianchen could feel his power. Although it would require a battle to determine who was stronger between them, it already highlights the exceptional nature of Destroying Heaven Hall!

The legacy within the Sky Tomb is said to contain the "Immortal Scripture," granting the realm of immortality and eternal life upon cultivation. That is something many desire to explore. Who would be willing to share such a thing with others? They would wish to keep it for themselves. Yet, Destroying Heaven Hall invites young martial artists within the Southern State, selecting three talents to enter with the Destroying Heaven Divine Son. Who would believe there’s no conspiracy here? There must be some hidden reason forcing Destroying Heaven Hall to take such actions...

"Hahaha, Tongtian Taoist, you are truly confident. In the depths of this sea of fire lies the ultimate flame. Once you step into that range, you’ll be obliterated. Now, we only possess the power of the physical body, unable to harness Martial Arts True Qi. If you dare to go across, you’re seeking death!" laughed the Destroying Heaven Divine Son dismissively.

"By saying this, have you reached there?" Ye Tianchen paused and asked.

"Indeed, but that’s me, not you!" the Destroying Heaven Divine Son said mockingly.

The Destroying Heaven Divine Son was mocking Ye Tianchen, telling him that he could reach the center of the sea of fire, but Ye Tianchen couldn’t. It was a scornful dismissal of Ye Tianchen’s strength!

"You? You’re not necessarily stronger than me!" Ye Tianchen dismissed the idea, glancing at the Destroying Heaven Divine Son as he spoke.

"Then you can go and try..." The Destroying Heaven Divine Son replied with a frown.

Ye Tianchen ignored the Destroying Heaven Divine Son, yawning and stepping toward the center of this sea of fire. This act made the Destroying Heaven Divine Son frown, perhaps not expecting this Fat Taoist to have such courage. It didn’t seem like a joke; he was genuinely stepping casually toward the depths of the fire!

With each step forward, Ye Tianchen could only make use of his Physical Body Power, meaning the force he used to resist the scorching flames was none other than his Physical Body Power!

The further he walked, the more pressure Ye Tianchen felt, even experiencing a slight burning sensation on his skin. This surprised him; to think that such firepower still existed in the depths of the sea of fire. He had once refined his body at the center of the second layer of the Fire Domain in the Flame Valley, and yet he wasn’t even at the center of this sea of fire and already felt his skin burn. Underestimating the power within this sea of fire was clearly a mistake!

"I didn’t expect the fire in this sea to be so strong; I must be careful!" Ye Tianchen thought cautiously to himself.

Roar!

Just as Ye Tianchen was stepping deeper into the sea of fire, nearing its center, a Fire Dragon charged at him. Ye Tianchen frowned and promptly threw a punch to destroy it!

Boom!

The Fire Dragon shattered, and Ye Tianchen faced no hindrance, continuing his steps forward. When a bright light appeared before Ye Tianchen’s eyes, he arrived at the center of the sea of fire, standing stunned because right in the center, there was a coffin suspended in mid-air!

"Is this what’s inside the Sky Tomb? A coffin suspended in mid-air?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"I didn’t expect your Physical Body Power to be this strong, to really make it here!" The Destroying Heaven Divine Son appeared beside Ye Tianchen and spoke.

"Let’s talk about this coffin, shall we?" Ye Tianchen asked.

The Destroying Heaven Divine Son glanced at Ye Tianchen, frowning, but eventually spoke: "In this Sky Tomb, all there is is this one coffin. Perhaps the secret lies within it..."

"It seems that the Destroying Heaven Hall has tried to open it, but failed, right?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"It wasn’t a failure; it was simply impossible to open. The coffin is made from Flame Stone, the most burn-resistant material in the Martial Arts World. Even in such flames, after tens of thousands of years, it will not be destroyed. However, when I tried to open the coffin, I found it was nothing but a complete block of Flame Stone!" The Destroying Heaven Divine Son explained.

Upon hearing the Destroying Heaven Divine Son’s words, Ye Tianchen was momentarily taken aback and asked: "A complete block of Flame Stone? Does that mean there might be nothing inside?"

"That’s precisely why people find it puzzling!" The Destroying Heaven Divine Son stated seriously.

"Could there be something inside the Flame Stone that only becomes visible if it’s broken open?" Ye Tianchen mused aloud.

"Breaking the Flame Stone? I’ve thought of that, and attempted it, but..." The Destroying Heaven Divine Son started to say but stopped.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Destroying Heaven Divine Son and couldn’t help but laugh, saying: "At this point, with just your strength or mine alone, we’re unlikely to gain anything. If you don’t want to speak the truth, I won’t force you!"

Ye Tianchen understood the Destroying Heaven Divine Son’s reticence and concerns because, to the Divine Son, anyone trying to claim what’s inside the "Sky Tomb" was an enemy he wanted to eliminate. However, now wasn’t the time for such actions; otherwise, the Destroying Heaven Divine Son would have already attacked him!

Yet Ye Tianchen had already seen through it; if the Destroying Heaven Hall had any other choice, the Destroying Heaven Divine Son wouldn’t have allowed them to enter the "Sky Tomb" in the first place.

The coffin made of Flame Stone and the possibilities of finding inheritance clues therein were things the Destroying Heaven Divine Son knew most about. He should have conducted numerous attempts, experiences Ye Tianchen needed to understand!

"There’s nothing I can’t say. The whole secret of the Sky Tomb lies here; there’s nothing else elsewhere that I haven’t over-explored. I also suspect the ultimate secret is within this Flame Stone. I once tried to shatter it, only for the power within the Flame Stone to backfire, almost destroying me entirely..." The Destroying Heaven Divine Son stated calmly. (To be continued.
