Chapter 3116: Five Horses Tearing the Body

Boom! Rumble!

The vast starry sky buzzed and trembled. More than ten supreme beings, like a dozen brilliant suns, hung in all directions. Their divine glory illuminated the world, their auras interconnecting and crushing the universe to shatter, only to solidify amid the destruction. No grand battle was in sight, yet omens of devastation appeared everywhere. Within a radius of eight million li, it had become a forbidden zone. Ye Chen, trapped in the center, stood out starkly. The heavenly demon had escaped, leaving him standing there rigidly, wanting to slip away but lacking the speed in his legs.

"Run, why don't you run?"

Gui Sha Mo Jun chuckled sinisterly, breaking the silence, and gazed at Ye Chen with morbid interest, his laughter eerie and terrifying. Compared to before, he showed no fear today. He couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, but a group brawl was another story. With Wu Tian Xue Zun presiding and numerous supreme beings aiding, his confidence soared. After all, if someone slapped you, you'd eventually slap back. He'd been holding in this anger for days, his war spear sharpened, just waiting to skewer that little thing.

Ye Chen said nothing, wiping a bit of nosebleed and glancing sideways at him. If he could run, would he need your nonsense?

"How interesting."

The supreme beings stroked their chins or twirled their beards, sizing up Ye Chen as if he were a monkey on display. Each had deep, probing eyes, occasionally furrowing their brows, just as Gui Sha Mo Jun had said—this little guy was unnaturally strange. With their supreme vision, they couldn't see through him. They only knew he was also a supreme being, but one bound and sealed, to the point where he couldn't even fly. Otherwise, he wouldn't just be standing there. This made him easy to handle—like a living target.

"Able to knock down Gui Sha Mo Jun with one palm, you must be no ordinary figure, fellow daoist."

Wu Tian Xue Zun laughed playfully, exuding an air of superiority. While the other supreme beings couldn't see through Ye Chen, neither could he, which only heightened his interest. Greed flashed in his eyes—if he could refine or devour a supreme like Ye Chen, it would be a heaven-defying opportunity. It might even help him achieve nirvana. Coming to the immortal realm had truly been worthwhile.

"Just a small fry."

Ye Chen replied casually, his expression unchanged. If not for concealing his true nature with Zhou Tian, he would have exposed his secrets from another universe. To see through his identity, one would need at least a Zhun Huang Emperor.

"Capture you, and we'll know soon enough."

The supreme being in the east, a silver-robed youth—though in truth an old-timer—suddenly thrust out a massive hand. His silver hair gleamed radiantly, surrounded by swirling dao principles and bizarre visions. His pressure spanned the star domain. By the standards of the various heavens' cultivation, he was likely an initial-stage Tian Di who had comprehended laws. In terms of combat power alone, he far surpassed that heavenly demon.

Boom!

Before the hand even landed, the starry sky collapsed under its intent, carrying the might to destroy heavens and earth.

Ye Chen remained unfazed. He blew on his small hand, then swung a massive palm strike. A mere initial-stage Tian Di daring to capture me?

Pfft!

Blood sprayed as the silver-robed youth's hand exploded into a mist of blood. Even his true body was forced to stagger back, each step crushing the starry sky.

"So strong?"

The supreme beings frowned at the sight.

"How is that possible?"

The silver-robed youth steadied himself, in utter disbelief. With his level of cultivation, he had been utterly defeated in one move.

"Now, do you believe it?"

Gui Sha Mo Jun said indifferently. Back when he spoke of it, no one had believed him, even mocking him. Seeing it now brought him immense satisfaction.

"Very good."

Wu Tian Xue Zun chuckled darkly, surprised but not shocked. The greed in his eyes burned even hotter. The more extraordinary Ye Chen was, the greater the opportunity for him. After so many years, he had finally encountered a real treasure, exciting him to the point of madness.

"No more talk—let's take him together."

The silver-robed supreme snorted coldly and charged again. Like him, the other supreme beings moved as well, all Tian Di-level figures casting profound immortal laws to form a sealing array.

Buzz!

Ye Chen was equally domineering, swinging the Zhou Tian divine staff and shattering all laws and sealing arrays in an instant.

Exterminate!

Gui Sha Mo Jun lunged forward, his sword strike overpowering.

Buzz!

Ye Chen didn't even glance his way, swinging his staff to obliterate his physical body. A mere Di-level small fry, don't come here seeking trouble. Even Tian Di aren't enough— you're just here for amusement?

Gui Sha Mo Jun's expression changed, his soul trembling. His remaining yuan spirit fled into the sky without looking back. He, as a supreme being, was the most awkward one here. His sneak attack had failed, and instead, his divine body was destroyed. He had been too eager, desperate for revenge for that slap, and had overlooked the difference in strength. Their side had a massive lineup, but he clearly wasn't up to par. In the outside world, he was something, but in Ye Chen's eyes, he was just a small shrimp—fit only to watch, not to fight.

"Seal!"

The supreme beings roared, joining forces to cast spells with their supreme dao principles, forming a cage of trapped gods. Lightning crackled inside, sealing lights darted chaotically, and chains of order stretched across, with divine chains piercing into Ye Chen's divine sea, trying to drag out his yuan spirit.

"Seal me?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, sweeping his staff across the eight directions. The newly formed cage shattered instantly, and the supreme beings who cast it were all repelled by the backlash.

"You're very strong."

Wu Tian Xue Zun said calmly, soaring to the highest peak of the void. His chuckle carried a demonic power as he struck down with a palm heavy as an eight-thousand-zhang mountain, etched with divine patterns.

This palm was no joke. Even Ye Chen staggered under its pressure.

Compared to the other supreme beings, Wu Tian Xue Zun was truly fearsome. His cultivation had reached the peak of Tian Di, and not just any peak. From his dao essence, he had comprehended at least two laws—one involving time, the other causality. Such power could genuinely harm him. At least in his current state, he was suppressed. After all, he had regressed to youth and was bound, an outsider in this universe, inherently restricted by its rules.

"Lock him!"

The silver-robed supreme shouted, suddenly raising his arm and firing chains of order from his palm toward Ye Chen.

The other supreme beings did the same, chains of order like serpents binding Ye Chen's hands and feet. Countless illusory divine symbols formed from immortal laws were etched into his body one after another—a form of sealing, brutally effective. It made Ye Chen's body stall. Even a bunch of small fries could be nauseatingly troublesome. The most irritating part was his own restrictions; aside from Zhou Tian's evolution, he couldn't use anything. Even activating a technique like Ten Thousand Swords Converging would make these pests think twice, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

"Move, why aren't you moving?"

The silver-robed supreme sneered, his divine power surging as he and the other four supreme beings pulled together, hands gripping the chains of order tightly. From above, Ye Chen—bound at hands, feet, and head—was stretched into a "大" shape. That legendary Wu Ma Fen Shi posture was exactly his now. If the five supreme beings pulled hard enough, they could truly tear him apart.

"Well, can't hold it anymore."

From the storage bag, the Chi Yan Xiong Shi coughed dryly.

"Too many supreme beings."

Shen Yun Suan Yuan and the little old man looked grim, wanting to rush out and help but lacking the cultivation. As for the two of them, they didn't even qualify as cannon fodder—they'd be crushed to dust in an instant by the pressure.

"No big issue."

The Hun Dun Ding remained calm. A few Tian Di thinking they could seal their boss? They were underestimating the Tenth Emperor of Da Chu.

"Come on, let's hear a sound."

Ye Chen said, clenching his small fists and suddenly yanking them crossed. The two supreme beings holding the chains on the east and west were pulled toward him—one from west to east, the other from east to west—like two divine lights colliding perfectly.

Bang!

The sound of their foreheads crashing was quite pleasing. The two supreme beings' heads split open.

Bang!

A second crash followed as the other two supreme beings were yanked in, colliding just as neatly. Supreme bones and blood splattered across the starry sky.

"Even watching hurts."

Chi Yan Xiong Shi coughed again, while Shen Yun Suan Yuan and the little old man twitched their mouths. They had truly underestimated Ye Chen—this bizarre move was something else. Tian Di-level supreme beings, pulled over just like that. They wanted to do Wu Ma Fen Shi on him, but the five supreme beings clearly lacked the strength.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed as the silver-robed supreme holding the chain to Ye Chen's head was also yanked forward and struck by a palm, destroying half his body.

The vast starry sky grew even more bloody. The five supreme beings were more miserable than the last. They thought they had sealed Ye Chen, but who knew he could break out of that situation?

It brought some psychological balance.

Gui Sha Mo Jun took a deep breath. He had been mocked earlier, but now, seeing this scene, he felt especially satisfied. We're all supreme beings—why am I the only one getting beaten?

As for Wu Tian Xue Zun, his smile grew even brighter. He truly loved Ye Chen to death. This little guy was full of surprises. He had to devour him. If there wasn't some great fortune here, he'd eat a ghost.

"Dammit, truly dammit."

The silver-robed supreme growled, his hair disheveled and teeth gritted. His once clear eyes were now bloodshot. He drew a buzzing divine sword, and the other four supreme beings with battered heads did the same, each pulling out their weapons. Their expressions went from ferocious to even more savage. They had planned to seal Ye Chen before, but now, they weren't holding back—they wanted to kill him and take his goods. As divine beings, this was too humiliating. Never in their time as supreme beings had they lost face like this. Their supreme dignity was in tatters.

"People! It's always better to keep a low profile."

Ye Chen spoke leisurely, his demeanor relaxed. He pulled out the divine symbols that had been etched into his body and crushed them to ash in his palm. Trying to seal him with that level of skill just wasn't enough.

"Excellent, truly excellent."

Wu Tian Xue Zun clapped, looking down from on high, his laughter still mocking. The greed in his eyes was hard to hide. Compared to seeking the Tian Zi, Ye Chen was the real surprise.

"If this were another day, that guy would probably be hammered into a eunuch."

"Don't say it like that. He's still a supreme being, after all."

"So what if he's a supreme? Supreme beings have to be reasonable, right?"

Ye Chen remained silent, but his three treasures in the small world were anything but quiet. They huddled together, chattering away nonstop, thoroughly enjoying themselves without holding back. The supreme beings outside heard every word clearly, their eyes gleaming as if they could peer into Ye Chen's small world. He had quite the collection: chaos-level flames, chaos-level thunder, and that divine cauldron—massive and ancient, with dao essence perfectly formed. How to describe it? Just pure dominance.

As they watched, the supreme beings charged from all sides, no longer holding back—they were out for blood and loot.
