“This… this is the Dugu Family’s Heaven Splitting Nine Styles…”
“How is this possible?”
“Boy, who exactly are you?”
Watching Ye Chen perform the Heaven Splitting Style, War Demon Old Man said, his face full of shock.
One must know that the Heaven Splitting Nine Styles is the Dugu Family’s unique Martial Skill.
People who are not from the Dugu Family cannot Cultivate it.
And now that Ye Chen can perform the Heaven Splitting Style, the first style of the Heaven Splitting Nine Styles, War Demon Old Man undoubtedly mistook Ye Chen for someone from the Dugu Family.
Back then, when the Eternal Sky Tomb suddenly appeared in the Central Region, countless forces participated in the snatch.
Among them, there were even many powerhouses from outside the Central Region.
However, War Demon Old Man never expected that the Eternal Sky Tomb would be taken by someone from the Dugu Family.
In the Central Region, although the Dugu Family is a Family force, the powerhouses within the Dugu Family are no less formidable than those of the top Sect forces.
Even so, War Demon Old Man couldn't understand how the Dugu Family managed to snatch the Eternal Sky Tomb from so many forces.
Little did he know, Ye Chen was not from the Dugu Family.
All of this was merely a conjecture War Demon Old Man made after seeing the Martial Skill Ye Chen displayed.
As for why Ye Chen could perform the Heaven Splitting Style from the Heaven Splitting Nine Styles, it was entirely due to the Opportunity he obtained by chance after being forced by Lin Zhi to jump off a cliff.
Fortunately, War Demon Old Man didn't know Ye Chen’s true identity.
Otherwise, War Demon Old Man would probably have been furious.
After all, back then in the Central Region, countless forces and powerhouses were mobilized to snatch the Eternal Sky Tomb.
Among them, many powerhouses, just like War Demon Old Man, sacrificed their lives.
If the Eternal Sky Tomb had ultimately been acquired by a major force, it would have been understandable.
But for it to be obtained by a mere Martial Artist like Ye Chen, how could people not be angry?
Wasn't it obvious that their snatch had benefited Ye Chen?
In fact, that was exactly the case.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Tianwu Continent was still a single entity.
At that time, the Tianwu Continent produced many powerhouses.
Even ordinary people had some Martial Artist Cultivation.
But such a life did not last long.
It was broken by countless powerhouses.
At that time, many people didn't know why the various powerhouses started fighting fiercely.
Only a small number knew that those powerhouses were fighting over a treasure.
And that treasure was precisely the Eternal Sky Tomb.
During the period when the Eternal Sky Tomb appeared on the Tianwu Continent, countless powerhouses, in order to snatch it, spared no effort.
It was precisely because of that battle that the Tianwu Continent was torn apart.
It was divided into four Continents and the Central Region.
Moreover, as the Tianwu Continent split into five, the Dragon Veins were damaged, directly causing the spiritual Qi of the Tianwu Continent to decrease by several times.
Even so, the spiritual Qi in the Central Region was still much denser than in other places.
After all, the Central Region was previously the most central location of the Tianwu Continent.
Later, even when the Tianwu Continent was torn apart, the Central Region, as the central area, was still not greatly affected.
Aside from the spiritual Qi decreasing by several times, it was still several times stronger than the other four Continents.
This is also why powerhouses emerge in the Central Region, while in other places, it is difficult for a Prodigy powerhouse to appear even in thousands of years.
In fact, in the final analysis, it was because those powerhouses acted with all their might, disregarding the Tianwu Continent’s capacity.
In that battle, someone had already touched the Eternal Sky Tomb, but in the next second, the Eternal Sky Tomb, as if it had sentience, emitted a dazzling light, collecting all the powerhouses who died in that battle into the Eternal Sky Tomb, and then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the Void Realm.
As for why the Eternal Sky Tomb appeared within Ye Chen’s body, that is unknown.
Perhaps this is the will of Heaven in the darkness.
If those powerhouses had known the final outcome hundreds of thousands of years ago, perhaps they would not have fought fiercely, thus causing the Tianwu Continent to split into several pieces.
Alas, what use is it to say these things now?
Of that batch of powerhouses, some died, some were injured, or their lifespans had reached their end, and they sealed themselves away.
It can be said that now, the only people who still remember the Eternal Sky Tomb are those great Families and the forces that participated in the snatch back then.
Others don’t even know why those powerhouses fought fiercely.
Otherwise, the matter of Ye Chen possessing the Eternal Sky Tomb would probably be guessed by anyone.
After all, not long ago, Ye Chen’s Dantian was crippled, and even all his Meridians were destroyed.
And for Ye Chen to recover in such a short time, besides the Eternal Sky Tomb, what other treasure could possess such Heaven-Defying effects?
Of course, Ye Chen was unaware of these things.
For Ye Chen, he simply regarded the Eternal Sky Tomb as one of his Opportunities.
Little did he know, the Eternal Sky Tomb had already appeared on the Tianwu Continent once, hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Seeing War Demon Old Man’s shocked expression, Ye Chen, without any hesitation, swung his Heavy Sword No Edge downwards.
For Ye Chen, although he could learn many past secrets from War Demon Old Man's words.
But War Demon Old Man was truly too powerful.
Even if his Cultivation was suppressed to the Martial Master Second Heaven, Ye Chen still didn't dare to prolong this.
As the saying goes, delay breeds trouble.
As for those secrets, Ye Chen believed that once he became powerful enough, he would naturally learn them.
“Boom…”
As the sword struck, ripples spread through the surrounding Void Realm.
In the blink of an eye.
War Demon Old Man’s true spirit body was completely shattered, and War Demon Old Man didn’t even let out a scream.
This shows how terrifying the power of the Heaven Splitting Style was, containing Ye Chen’s full strength.
Based on Ye Chen’s guess, if War Demon Old Man were replaced by that old fellow Lin Zhi, this move would probably at least severely injure him, if not kill him.
After all, Ye Chen currently only has the Cultivation of a Martial Artist Fifth Heaven.
If he Breakthrough two more Realms, Ye Chen is confident that killing Lin Zhi, while not as simple as slaughtering a dog, would not be too difficult.
Looking out, the true spirit of War Demon Old Man, shattered by the Heaven Splitting Style, instantly transformed into countless sparkling points of starlight, surging towards Ye Chen’s body.
Seeing this, Ye Chen thought that War Demon Old Man hadn’t completely died and was trying to Possess him.
But in the next second.
When Ye Chen noticed unfamiliar memories surging into his mind, he realized that this was not War Demon Old Man trying to Possess him, but rather War Demon Old Man’s entire Legacy, which Ye Chen had obtained.
Feeling the extra memories in his mind, Ye Chen’s face lit up with joy, and he then sat down to sort them out.
Not long after.
When Ye Chen saw a Body Refining Cultivation Technique called “Demon God Thirty-Six Transformations” in his mind, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he thought excitedly, “This is truly like someone sending a pillow when you’re sleepy…”
Ever since Cultivating the Heaven Splitting Style, Ye Chen increasingly felt that his physical body was too fragile.
Ye Chen had been worrying about how to further strengthen his physical body these past few days, and then War Demon Old Man delivered the Demon God Thirty-Six Transformations right to his doorstep.
Didn’t this directly make up for Ye Chen’s weakness?
