Chapter 3167: Robbing While Beating People

In Shen Jie.

The vast starry sky was still and silent, so quiet it felt almost unnatural.

This was, of course, to be expected.

The four supreme inheritances had retreated from Shen Xu and returned to their ancestral lands, all keeping a low profile. They were so subdued that they hadn't even pursued Ye Chen; everyone was back in their ancestral homes, focused on recuperating.

Their journey into Shen Xu had left them utterly battered.

The four could consider themselves fortunate that Wu Wang Mo Zun hadn't moved to kill; otherwise, they would likely have been completely annihilated, body and soul.

With the four great inheritances behaving themselves, Shen Jie enjoyed a much-needed period of peace.

How many years had it been like this? As long as the supreme inheritances and the forbidden zones stayed out of it, there were no major upheavals.

"This kind of peace truly feels unaccustomed."

In the starry sky, there were plenty of idle gods with nothing better to do, some in groups of three, others in fives, strolling along with their hands in their sleeves. Whenever there was excitement or a big battle, they were always there, purely for the spectacle – they were professionals at it.

"They should be coming out soon."

Outside Shen Xu, Shen Long Dao Zun stroked his beard and spoke, though he had already uttered these words countless times.

Kuang Ying Jie glanced over, and Yue Shen did the same.

If you hadn't entered Shen Xu, you wouldn't know how terrifying the forbidden zone there was. It wasn't so easy to get out.

"It's already unsealed."

These words came from Yao Chi and Di Xian in unison, as if they had somehow sensed it.

"Impressively done."

The crowd of ancient supreme beings and old gods perked up immediately, their eyes gleaming with excitement. With it unsealed, things would go smoothly – two Yong Heng powers working together would surely carve a path out of the Shen Xu forbidden zone.

They had all made preparations to welcome them back.

Once they broke out, everything would be complete. From then on, they would settle scores one by one, without exception.

Shen Xu, the ruins where gods return.

As always, this divine land remained tranquil and harmonious, unchanged even after the four inheritances had stirred up trouble.

Looking around, divine light shot out in all directions, and exotic colors burst forth.

On various peaks, figures sat in meditation, some gods and some juniors, all enjoying exceptional ease in this divine land. Even when the four inheritances joined forces and failed, who besides the supreme gods could shake Shen Xu?

One could see Meng Mo, sitting cross-legged in the clouds.

Her expression shifted, her delicate brows occasionally furrowing, with faint traces of pain on her forehead. She was trying to comprehend the Dao, but unfortunately, her state of mind wasn't calm, making it hard to steady her spirit. This condition was the most torturous.

It made sense; in recent days, she had suffered terribly.

Her trip to the immortal realm had cost her the borrowed supreme divine artifact, earned her two beatings, and nearly cost her her life.

Back in Shen Jie, she had finally captured Ye Chen, only for it to benefit Wu Wang Mo Zun.

All of this, the more she thought about it, the more infuriating it became. It was a wonder she could stay composed at all – avoiding a qi deviation was already impressive.

Hm?

In some instant, she suddenly opened her eyes and glanced toward the Sen Luo Shen Dian. Just a moment ago, she had clearly heard a rumbling sound, which seemed like the noise of battle, but it vanished in a flash.

"It seems you heard it too."

On a nearby mountain peak, an old god from Shen Xu opened his eyes and gently stroked his beard, speaking leisurely.

Meng Mo said nothing and rose to her feet, stepping out to the edge of Sen Luo Shen Dian.

"The Zun Shang has decreed that without his order, no one is allowed to enter the hall, including you and me."

The old god from Shen Xu said flatly.

It was a good thing Wu Wang Mo Zun didn't know about this; if he did, he'd probably slap him across the face. Enter the hall? Hurry up and enter! I'm about to get beaten to death, you stubborn old fool.

Meng Mo remained silent, just standing there, watching.

Unfortunately, her vision was limited; all she could see was a chaotic haze. Though she could vaguely make out that otherworldly space, she couldn't see the Yong Heng within it. If she entered the hall, perhaps she could see clearly.

Pfft!

In the Yong Heng otherworldly space, Wu Wang Mo Zun spat out blood again.

The blood light was dazzling.

His form was beyond miserable – disheveled hair, no longer resembling a human, his entire body covered in bloody gashes. Each wound was entwined with Yong Heng light, relentlessly eroding his essence. The most gruesome part was his back, where half his spine had been torn out, and his skull was no longer intact, half of it smashed away.

In contrast, Ye Chen and Zhao Yun were completely unscathed.

These two who had comprehended Yong Heng were indeed overbearing, beating Wu Wang Mo Zun so badly he could barely stand.

"What a fine Wu Wang divine knife."

Ye Chen sighed in admiration. He had nearly extinguished Wu Wang Mo Zun several times, but failed each time – even Yong Heng couldn't finish him off, all because of that supreme divine artifact fused into Wu Wang Mo Zun's body. It protected him fiercely, absorbing most of Ye Chen's attacks, leaving Wu Wang Mo Zun to suffer only the aftershocks.

"Defeating him is easy; killing him is hard."

Zhao Yun clicked his tongue. With a body fused to a supreme divine artifact in perfect harmony, this kind of god was the hardest to kill.

Hard to kill, yes, but not impossible – just a matter of time.

"Do you really intend to fight to the death?"

Wu Wang Mo Zun gritted his teeth, his face twisted in grotesque fury.

Buzz!

In response, Zhao Yun launched a powerful attack, one finger forming Yong Heng.

Wu Wang Mo Zun clenched his jaw and tried to flee into the sky.

But he was already locked by Yong Heng; no matter how mystical his evasion techniques or how heaven-defying his laws, he was still hit, pierced through the skull by Zhao Yun's finger. It dealt a fundamental blow to his primordial spirit, though the divine artifact blocked the worst of it.

Ye Chen charged in, his palm like a divine knife, nearly splitting Wu Wang Mo Zun in two.

But it was only nearly; that fearsome Wu Wang divine knife was incredibly resilient.

"Save me!"

Wu Wang Mo Zun howled desperately, scrambling chaotically through the otherworldly space, searching for a way to break free.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Zhao Yun used Yong Heng to instantly close in, slashing with a Yong Heng sword that severed one of Wu Wang Mo Zun's arms.

Pfft!

Ye Chen followed suit, slicing open Wu Wang Mo Zun's inner world with a palm, reclaiming every treasure he had lost, including the Chaos Cauldron, Chaos Fire, and Chaos Thunder, without exception.

Ah...!

Wu Wang Mo Zun roared, dragging his blood-soaked body as he fled into the sky.

"Running?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, instantly drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, firing a Yong Heng shot that pierced Wu Wang Mo Zun.

Pfft!

This time, Zhao Yun took the initiative, ripping open Wu Wang Mo Zun's newly healed inner world. Back when he was captured, his treasures had been completely looted; now, they were all returned to their rightful owner, not a single one missing.

Pfft! Pfft!

The scene that followed was even more satisfying to watch.

The two Yong Heng masters worked in perfect sync, pummeling Wu Wang Mo Zun until he could barely stay on his feet. Whenever they spotted an opportunity, they'd pry open his inner world and casually pull out a few treasures.

Beating and robbing without missing a beat.

Looking at Ye Chen's techniques and Zhao Yun's methods, one was more skilled than the other. Clearly, they were pros at this – after all, with a living treasure trove right there, why not take it? Whoever grabs it owns it.

Wu Wang Mo Zun's collection truly lived up to his status.

Glancing into his inner world, it was filled with dazzling treasures and divine objects piled like mountains, leaving Ye Chen and Zhao Yun dazzled. He was indeed from a supreme inheritance, the master of Shen Xu – truly a wealthy landlord.

"All of it's ours."

The two were incredibly proactive, utterly shameless, taking anything they could get their hands on without hesitation.

What a pair of clowns!

In the void, murmurs echoed, as if several supreme gods were watching, sighing and clicking their tongues in amazement.

There was no helping it – these two were just that exceptional.

It made one think that anyone who comprehended Yong Heng shared a certain shameless spirit.

"Having such juniors brings me great comfort."

The supreme gods were mostly stroking their beards, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of these two fools.

As for the other one, it was just embarrassing.

The heir of a supreme god, the master of the Shen Xu forbidden zone, was in such a pitiful state it was hard to watch. His inner world's treasures had been completely stripped away – that was nothing – but whether he could even keep his life was up in the air.

"I'm embarrassed for him."

"In his own home, getting beaten this badly – Shen Xu's lineage is one of a kind."

"If Gui Xu were still alive, I wonder what he'd think."

The supreme gods sighed endlessly. Why provoke Yong Heng? And not just one, but two.

Pfft!

As they watched, Wu Wang Mo Zun suffered another heavy blow, struck by Ye Chen's fist and Zhao Yun's finger. Countless strands of Yong Heng light bloomed, burrowing into his body, nearly tearing apart his domineering divine form on the spot.

"You two deserve to die."

Wu Wang Mo Zun roared in rage, not knowing what forbidden technique he used, as strange demonic patterns etched across his entire body, even marking his life-source bones and primordial spirit with an extremely terrifying seal.

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous boom, a beam of pitch-black, lightless energy shot from his celestial spirit cover into the sky.

In an instant, blood fiends surged.

In an instant, demonic might overwhelmed everything.

In an instant, the heavens and earth transformed.

Behind him materialized a colossal shadowy figure, ancient and cang sang, exuding the pressure of a supreme god, accompanied by various phenomena: stars filling the sky one moment, the blazing sun collapsing the next, all things flourishing then, and the cycle of reincarnation withering after.

He merged with the colossal shadow, becoming one with it.

Suddenly, a layer of destructive halo spread infinitely across the eight directions, forcing Ye Chen and Zhao Yun to retreat.

"Gui Xu's god."

Zhao Yun murmured softly, recognizing the colossal shadow as the founder of Shen Xu, a genuine supreme god who had perished eons ago. Statues of him stood throughout the Shen Xu forbidden zone, a true myth.

"You're even more ruthless than A Luo."

Ye Chen sighed. He had seen this kind of forbidden technique before.

Back in the Po Luo Mo Domain, A Luo Fo Zun had transformed into A Luo Mo Seng, using a similar method, invoking the gods of ten thousand Buddhas with his thoughts. It was incredibly powerful and domineering, especially the Buddhist demonic patterns that exploded afterward, nearly destroying even his Yong Heng emperor body.

Now, this one had gone mad too.

Comparing the two, Wu Wang Mo Zun's seemed even more terrifying, evident from its aura.

Naturally, the sacrifices he made were equally devastating.

The devastation referred to Wu Wang Mo Zun never having a chance to become a supreme god for the rest of his life.

Boom!

With another thunderous boom, Ye Chen activated his Ba Ti outer form, glancing at Zhao Yun in the process, who had used a similar divine ability – likely the Yong Heng golden body. At first glance, it looked even larger than the Ba Ti.

Ye Chen wasn't having it; he boosted his height by another ten thousand zhang. We're both Yong Heng – who says you get to be taller than me!

"What's the point of comparing with me? If you've got the guts, compare with him."

Zhao Yun didn't speak, but his expression clearly conveyed this.

"Don't mess around; he's gone all out."

Ye Chen didn't say anything either, but his frustrated look perfectly expressed this.

As they spoke, both looked up.

Indeed, one had activated Yong Heng Ba Ti, the other Yong Heng golden body, both towering immensely, but compared to Gui Xu's god, they looked like two children, forced to crane their necks.

That's why it's called a supreme inheritance – the sheer size alone was intimidating enough.

The scene grew even more impressive, with the three giants standing there, exuding dominance from every angle.
