The seemingly ordinary purple-black vine in Ye Tianchen's hand unleashed an incredible power. First, it was an elder of the Xinyang family who, upon catching the Divine Whip, met a complete obliteration of body and spirit, possibly without even knowing what happened. And soon, after everyone hesitated and refrained from attacking Ye Tianchen rashly, a middle-aged man with formidable cultivation from the Ding Sect made a move. Unexpectedly, after being lightly struck by the vine in Ye Tianchen's hand, he too was obliterated, leaving nothing but a shell of a corpse on the ground. This once again shocked everyone. What on earth is this purple-black vine in Ye Tianchen's hand?

Suddenly, an elder among the Loose Cultivators, who had profound cultivation realm and had cultivated for many years, uttered the three words "Divine Whip." After these words were spoken, most of the younger cultivators were still a bit bewildered, as their understanding of the "Divine Whip" was very limited. After all, throughout ancient times and the span of billions of years, the Divine Whip had only appeared once, after which it completely vanished, its fame only lingering in the dark tumultuous times of the Late Ancient Times and Ancient Early Stage, where it competed with various Emperor's Artifacts and annihilated numerous strong ones. Such is the record of the Divine Whip. As for its deeper origins, who refined it, who possessed it before — that is unknown!

"What? It's the Divine Whip?"

"How is that possible? This is an exceptional treasure, not an Emperor's Artifact, yet it's no less than one!"

"Nearly a billion years have passed and unexpectedly the Divine Whip has appeared again. Could this herald a coming era of dark turmoil and bloodshed throughout the galaxy?"

"The Divine Whip, once struck, even divine thoughts are damaged. It's an indestructible rarity, and to think it was hidden within this Original Restricted Zone on Earth..."

"Rumor has it that during the first era of dark turmoil, the Divine Whip appeared, obliterating countless supreme strong ones, erasing their divine thoughts and turning them into mere shells. Even when clashed with Emperor's Artifacts, the Divine Whip remained undamaged, truly a wondrous rarity!"

"Some say the Divine Whip doesn't belong to the Martial Arts World at all, and was an immortal item that fell from the Immortal World during the first dark turmoil..."

"In any case, this powerful rarity is very much worth studying, and who would have thought Ye Tianchen would come by it!"

Though many of the younger martial artists knew very little about the Divine Whip, or even hearing of it for the first time, among those present were a number of elder figures. Whether they were from the three great traditions, some were Loose Cultivators, or from other traditions, all knew something of the Divine Whip. So, upon seeing Ye Tianchen's purple-black vine once again obliterate the middle-aged man from the Ding Sect, those elder figures quickly concluded that what Ye Tianchen held was indeed the "Divine Whip."

"Wow, you old fellows can really recognize a good thing, can't you? The Divine Whip, that's right, this is the Divine Whip. Is anyone else wanting to come take a look?" Ye Tianchen asked with a sly smile.

Almost instantly, those standing close to Ye Tianchen backed away quickly. Everyone could sense that the purple-black vine in Ye Tianchen's hand suddenly seemed to transform into Death God's whip; anyone struck would be obliterated in an instant with no chance of mere injury. If you think about a world-shaking battle, maybe getting hit would leave you gravely injured, critically injured and on the brink of death, but there'd at least be a chance of survival and healing. But once struck by the Divine Whip, it meant total obliteration, scattering of spirit with no chance at survival or healing. This makes the Divine Whip all the more terrifying.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. As long as you're not struck on the head by the Divine Whip, you won't be obliterated. Attack from a distance!"

"Yes, use Martial Arts True Qi and Martial Arts Divine Skill to kill this little brat!"

"Just avoid the Divine Whip's attack, and you can shock-kill him!"

In an instant, the Xinyang family, Ding Sect, and the Wang family elders all brought out their treasures, especially the jade flute, wolf-tooth hoe, and Red Cloud Treasure Mirror, creating great pressure for Ye Tianchen. Even with the Taie Sword and Divine Whip in his hands, it might be hard to withstand the bombardment of these three treasures. He must make a quick decision to escape, otherwise it would be truly dangerous. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not use the Holy Heaven Prison. Avoiding exposure of the Holy Heaven Prison remains the best course of action in this situation.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The Divine Whip created dread and no one dared to approach Ye Tianchen easily, but the one flaw of the Divine Whip is that if it doesn't hit someone, it can't exert any power, at most only serving as an indestructible shield. When opponents use powerful long-range attacks, this truly gives Ye Tianchen a real challenge!

The next moment, Ye Tianchen, Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Jing Wuhuan, including the rascal Zhu Yan, all found themselves caught in the battle. Many people began to fight wildly, almost everyone from the Xinyang family, Dingzong, and the Wang family joined in. Ye Tianchen, with the "Taie Sword" in his left hand and the "God-beating Whip" in his right, fought his way through, trying to break out. However, there were simply too many people, and many old fellows were desperately strong. Upon learning that the exotic treasure in Ye Tianchen's hand was actually the God-beating Whip, they became even more frantic in their attempts to seize it. How could they possibly allow Ye Tianchen and the others to leave alive!

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Even the strongest fists find it hard to match many hands, and among the elders of the three great legacies, many were at the Early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, with several being strong experts of the Mid-stage Martial Saint realm. Given the strength of Ye Tianchen and his group of four, it was quite challenging. The Xinyang family's jade flute, Dingzong's wolf tooth mace, and the Wang family's Red Cloud Treasure Mirror were all not ordinary items, incredibly formidable. In this situation, Ye Tianchen, Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Jing Wuhuan, and Little Zhu Yan all got injured, but they were strong enough not to suffer any fatal wounds.

"Damn, this is literally a sea of people, breaking out alive is really too hard!" Little Zhu Yan couldn't help but curse.

"What else can we do? Fight!" Pangu Yun said fiercely as well.

"There's no other way but to kill our way out!" Huo Xianer said, flames flickering within her.

"Amitabha Buddha, we have no choice but to open the slaughter!" Jing Wuhuan said with utmost seriousness.

Ye Tianchen had remained silent, knowing very well that the Xinyang family, Dingzong, the Wang family, and some powerful martial artists coveting the exotic treasure would not easily let him go. Realizing now that they were in a life and death crisis, he understood that if things continued this way, it could lead to their deaths. Therefore, as a last resort, Ye Tianchen was prepared to use the "Holy Heaven Prison" to carve a bloody path out. It was the only solution; he had no other choice!

"Drop the exotic treasure, and you can leave a whole corpse!"

"With so many experts here, you won't escape even if you defy the heavens!"

"Leave the exotic treasure, and end it yourself. It's your last chance!"

"Don't deprive yourselves of even the final chance for suicide!"

A group of powerful martial artists surrounded them, their eyes bloodshot as they looked at Ye Tianchen and his group, especially at the craving for the "God-beating Whip" in Ye Tianchen's hand!

At that instant, Ye Tianchen also felt there was no way out. Without a powerful exotic treasure to deter this crowd and carve a bloody path, it would be too late. It seemed now was the time to use the "Holy Heaven Prison." Thus, Ye Tianchen secretly infused Martial Arts True Qi, a source of Martial Arts True Power, into the "Holy Heaven Prison" within him. He planned to unleash the maximum power of the "Holy Heaven Prison" unexpectedly, as merely summoning the "Holy Heaven Prison" for a battle might result in being blocked by the three Treasure items of the Xinyang family, Dingzong, and the Wang family — a consequence Ye Tianchen had foreseen. He wasn't a mindless person.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Tianchen was about to take action and reluctantly use the "Holy Heaven Prison," a loud bang came from behind, followed by countless screams. In an instant, three figures rushed forward from the rear, everywhere they passed were scenes of screams, shouts of killing, and splattering blood. Ye Tianchen and the others were all shocked, their hearts skipped a beat. He, Huo Xianer, Pangu Yun, Jing Wuhuan, Little Zhu Yan, naturally unlike other martial artists who were clueless about what was happening, they knew very well that the Vermilion Bird, Divine Monkey, and the most powerful Old Xuan Turtle had emerged. As expected, after Ye Tianchen broke the black Order Iron Chains with Chaos Qi from the "Holy Heaven Prison," the Vermilion Bird and Divine Monkey couldn't withstand the might of this Old Xuan Turtle, so they would surely have to escape to save their lives, unable to sit still and await death. However, when these three monsters broke through, it doomed everyone outside to become fish on a chopping board, left to be at their mercy, because their power was too far inferior to these three monsters...(To be continued.
