"Gentlemen, our goal is to obtain the Taishi family legacy. Do you really want to throw away your lives before even seeing it?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to everyone present.

Everyone was incredibly shocked. A Mid-stage Martial Saint is powerful enough to easily destroy a mountain with a single palm, leveling hundreds of miles to the ground without any issue. Yet, Ye Tianchen dared to use his physical strength to withstand the palm strikes from two Mid-stage Martial Saints. Such rarity is like a phoenix feather and unicorn horn. It was the first time anyone here had seen someone so fierce.

"You brat, are you looking to meddle? Trying to play the hero and save the damsel? You're courting death!" The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family said, glaring at Ye Tianchen.

"You're wrong. I just don't want your fight to destroy this place, making it impossible for me to get close to that large stone tablet and obtain the Taishi family legacy. Besides, I'm not playing hero. To be honest, I believe this fairy's combat power is stronger than yours. In a life-and-death fight, you'd be the one to die. Another thing, what good is it for you if you die here? Even if the Xinyang family becomes the most powerful lineage in the Martial Arts World, what's that to you? Better cherish your life rather than force me to kill you!" Ye Tianchen said coldly, looking at the Xinyang family's middle-aged man.

"You..." The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family trembled with anger, unable to speak.

At this moment, the Wudao Saint Child glanced at Ye Tianchen and stepped into the arena. He looked at the veiled woman and then the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family and said seriously, "Gentlemen, this is indeed not a suitable place for fighting. If we accidentally trigger some restriction here, we might all perish. Moreover, based on my humble opinion, to approach that large stone tablet, we might need all six of us to join forces!"

"Fine, let's see!" The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family wasn't a fool. Since everyone opposed fighting, fearing it would trigger some restriction here and affect the acquisition of the Taishi family legacy, if he insisted on fighting the veiled woman, he would surely infuriate everyone else and become a target. By then, he would be at great risk of dying here!

Ye Tianchen glanced at the veiled woman and said, "If you want to kill him, do it outside. The Taishi family legacy is right in front of us. I believe you wouldn't want to miss the chance."

The veiled woman said nothing but flew to the side, while the old man with the pipe looked at the chaotic stone pile nearby and said, "Alright, since none of us objects to joining forces, any grudges can be settled outside. I've already checked, and to get close to this large stone tablet, we must navigate through this chaotic stone pile. Flying over is impossible, and I suspect there's something strange within. I don't believe anyone can break through the Taishi family's formation alone. This family was once the most powerful heritage in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, not without reason."

"Let's act together then!" said the old guy from the Tripod Sect.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Six figures flew toward the big stone tablet at the center of the grassland, each at incredible speed. Ye Tianchen didn't use the full power of the 'Divine Movement Skill.' If he had, he would have surpassed everyone in speed. However, he didn't want to expose his strength too early. After all, revealing too much strength in front of these unknown opponents could lead to unnecessary trouble. Trust among martial artists is hard to achieve, and within this group, ambushes and life-and-death battles could occur at any time.

The old man with the pipe was at the front, followed by the old guy from the Tripod Sect, then the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, the Wudao Saint Child, and the veiled woman, with Ye Tianchen intentionally staying last. At this point, he didn't want to stand out, but quietly observe how strong these people were and what they would do next.

Boom!

Crack!

Suddenly, as Ye Tianchen and the others flew into the chaotic stone pile, hoping to pass through quickly and reach the big stone tablet, there was a thunderous boom. Six bolts of lightning descended, all striking toward Ye Tianchen and his group. The old man with the pipe, being in front, was hit first but reacted quickly, swiftly descending and dodging continuously. The others followed suit, choosing not to forcibly resist the lightning. Everyone knew the power of thunder and lightning is hard to control and even harder to withstand. In such situations, dodging was the best option. Resisting would only deplete too much Martial Arts True Qi, putting them at a disadvantage in the competition for the Taishi family legacy, a fact that everyone understood, so they preserved their combat strength.

The six bolts of lightning descended, and everyone chose to dodge rather than resist. With their Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, avoiding lightning from above was not difficult, and they deftly sidestepped them all.

"Hmph, small lightning can't harm an old man like me!" The elder from the Tripod Sect scoffed.

"Don't underestimate it!" The Wudao Saint Child frowned, glancing at the sky.

"What? This... what is this thing?" The middle-aged man from the Xinyang family couldn't help but shout.

"Oh no, get down quickly, or it'll be too late, we'll all die..."

The old man with the pipe shouted loudly, the first to dive down at quite a speed, rushing into the chaotic stone pile, while the veiled woman followed closely behind. The elder from the Ding sect was also not slow in escaping, everyone was forced with no choice but to descend into the chaotic stone pile to seek refuge.

Suddenly, in the sky, six bolts of lightning descended. After Ye Tianchen and the others had dodged them, a creature resembling a Thunder Dragon appeared, coiling in the sky, its entire body flickering with the power of thunder and lightning, incredibly awe-inspiring. It exuded an aura of destruction, shocking everyone. Even Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. He had crossed the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation before, and although he confronted it in his own way, withstood it, and survived it, he dared not underestimate this kind of thunder and lightning power. The power of thunder and lightning is the power from above, the power of this Martial Arts World, and cannot be underestimated.

No one expected that such a terrifying existence would be in the high sky above this chaotic stone pile. After Ye Tianchen and others avoided the six bolts of thunder, a Thunder Dragon appeared, diving down as if to destroy everything, forcing Ye Tianchen and the others to descend into the chaotic stone pile. At this moment, the Thunder Dragon that swooped down transformed into a Thunder Grid, enveloping above the chaotic stone pile, consistently flickering with powerful lightning, seemingly to restrict Ye Tianchen and others from using their Qi Manipulation Flying Skill.

"It seems they do not want us to fly over there!" the old man with the pipe said, frowning.

"A mere Thunder Grid, trying to stop me? Do they really think a Martial Saint like me is nothing? Watch me punch through it..."

The elder from the Ding sect was the most overbearing and arrogant, immediately punching towards the Thunder Grid high in the sky, releasing a massive punch force, extremely fierce.

Bang!

Surprisingly, the Thunder Grid was indeed pierced by the punch of the elder from the Ding sect, which others did not expect. How could this Thunder Grid be so weak? It's known that this Inheritance Small World was refined by people from the Taishi family, and the reason such a powerful thunder and lightning power descended when someone used Qi Manipulation Flight to rush towards the Big Stone Tablet was to prevent anyone from smoothly reaching the front of the Big Stone Tablet. But if this Thunder Grid were so weak, how could it possibly stop the intruding experts?

Phwoosh!

The elder from the Ding sect moved rapidly, immediately rushing through the opening he made in the Thunder Grid, wanting to be the first to rush out of this Thunder Grid and reach the Big Stone Tablet to obtain the true inheritance of the Taishi family, there's no doubt about that. But just as he reached the opening of the Thunder Grid, suddenly all the lightning power from the Thunder Grid struck violently towards him, and simultaneously, another Thunder Dragon appeared in the sky, specifically targeting the opening in the Thunder Grid.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The destruction was like the sky falling and the earth splitting; Ye Tianchen and others quickly dodged away. If they were accidentally hit by this thunder and lightning power, that would be the most regrettable thing.

Dust filled the sky, and the place where the elder from the Ding sect stood had been destroyed and leveled. The opening in the Thunder Grid he punched out was also refilled, and nobody knew what happened to the elder from the Ding sect. No one expected the Thunder Grid to possess such power, and trying to punch through it forcefully would result in shattered bones.

Swoosh!

A figure rushed out from the dust, in a pitiful state, his clothes torn into rags, looking like a beggar. His hair was singed, emitting a foul smell. This person was the elder from the Ding sect. Luckily, he dodged quickly and used the Ding sect's secret technique to protect himself at the critical moment, thus preserving his life. Otherwise, the Thunder Dragon that just swooped down would have directly struck him, resulting in complete annihilation, leaving not even a body.

"Such powerful thunder and lightning power, was this the strength stored by the Taishi family's experts while refining this small world? It's too strong!" Wudao Saint Child couldn't help but exclaim in awe. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly votes on Qidian (qidian.com).
