Hearing Ye Chu’s words, Tan Long and the others could not help but fall silent. Yu Shi and Liu Yun also exchanged a glance.
Ye Chu’s words were not without reason. Among the Supreme families of the past, who actually achieved the Supreme position? Even the strongest figures were still one step away from it. Their bloodline power could indeed help them greatly, but it was precisely the existence of this bloodline that made it extremely difficult to break through and attain the Supreme position.
On the contrary, those who achieved the Supreme position were all tempered through their own efforts. Just like the Emotion Saint, and just like the Blood Slaughter Supreme. They all relied on themselves!
Tan Chen muttered to himself on the sidelines, “Could it be that we really cannot rely too much on the family bloodline? It is just that the bloodline is fused into our very being. Even if we do not rely on it, we cannot change this fact!”
Hearing Tan Chen’s muttering, Tan Long instantly understood and could not help but reprimand him, “Ye Chu is trying to affect his state of mind. Do not become obsessed because of this! Although what Ye Chu said makes sense, you must consider how many people in this world can actually become Supreme. Compared to others, you have far too many advantages. With the power of your bloodline, even if you cannot become Supreme, you can still become a powerhouse. Without the power of your bloodline, it would be hard for you to even become a powerhouse. The position of Supreme is not something everyone can aspire to. Becoming an absolute powerhouse is already the lifelong goal of a cultivator.”
Hearing Tan Long’s reprimand, Tan Chen instantly understood. “Yes! How many people in this world can become Supreme? Being able to use our bloodline to reach the level of an absolute powerhouse a step ahead is our advantage. As for what comes after, we will only know when we reach that step.”
It was obvious that the Prince of the Rain Mist was touched by Ye Chu’s words, and his expression involuntarily froze for a moment. It was precisely during this brief moment of daze that Ye Chu threw a punch. As soon as he made his move, it was the Heavenly Emperor Fist.
This punch carried an invincible momentum and struck straight forward, incredibly heavy. Although it lacked the violent might from before and did not have ten thousand patterns flashing, as it swung this time, everyone looking at that fist could feel the terror and sharpness within it.
By the time the Prince of the Rain Mist reacted, Ye Chu’s fist was already right in front of him. He simply had no time to dodge, and his expression changed drastically.
“Rain Mist Sacred Art, Fog Rises and Clouds Surge!”
Along with his roar, Tan Long and the others perked up a bit. They had also heard of the sacred arts of the Rain Mist Holy Land. Fog Rises and Clouds Surge was one of its most terrifying moves. Legend had it that when their ancestor used it, he could command the clouds and rain, possessing the might of a deity.
Although the current Prince of the Rain Mist could not compare to his ancestor, he had still grasped some of its essence. The fog layered upon itself, transforming into a sky full of white clouds. The white clouds turned into armour, enveloping his entire body, while a surging power rushed out from the rain mist to meet Ye Chu’s fist.
It was indeed worthy of being the ultimate art of the Rain Mist Holy Land. It was truly terrifying. That surging power was enough to shake heaven and earth, distorting the very space around it. Mountains seemed insignificant beneath it.
Yet, even such an ultimate art instantly fell apart under Ye Chu’s fist. The clouds and mist filling the sky scattered directly, and the white cloud armour cracked in numerous places. Then, with a crisp snap, it violently shattered. Ye Chu’s fist landed on the Prince of the Rain Mist, sending him flying backwards, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.
The onlooking crowd erupted in an uproar, all staring at Ye Chu in disbelief. The Prince of the Rain Mist had even unleashed his ultimate art, yet he still failed to block the might of a single punch. Was his lifebound ultimate art truly this terrifying?
At this moment, Liu Yun’s pupils contracted sharply, feeling somewhat incredulous. The Prince of the Rain Mist using his bloodline to drive his ultimate art was absolutely terrifying. If it were an ordinary Xuanhua Realm cultivator, they would not even be able to break through his defence. Yet Ye Chu threw a single punch and shattered it directly, even making him spit blood continuously.
“He is a bit too strong!” Liu Yun also found it hard to comprehend. Ye Chu’s lifebound ultimate art was simply too powerful.
Everyone stared blankly at Ye Chu, wondering if he had just won like that. Someone they previously thought could never win no matter what had actually won just like that?
Just as everyone thought it was over, the Prince of the Rain Mist suddenly roared, “Rain Mist Sword, come forth!”
As he spoke, a sharp sword shot out from the Prince of the Rain Mist’s body. The sharp sword pierced through heaven and earth, possessing peerless sharpness.
As this sword appeared, Yu Shi was instantly overjoyed. The Prince of the Rain Mist was a genius. Back when he was a Prince, he had already begun to forge his own artifact. The Rain Mist Sword was his lifebound artifact, and no one knew how many precious materials it had consumed. It was precisely because he had devoted countless efforts into the Rain Mist Sword that his cultivation was only at the Xuanhua Realm.
He was very clear about the formidable power of this sword. With the sword, the Prince of the Rain Mist’s strength would increase several times over. Now that this sword was out, what did it matter if his opponent’s lifebound ultimate art was heaven-defying?
“Do you think you are the only one with a weapon?” Ye Chu laughed heartily. The Green Lotus flew directly from his hand and rushed towards his Rain Mist Sword.
“Clang…”
A crisp sound rang in everyone’s ears as Ye Chu’s Green Lotus struck straight against the Prince of the Rain Mist’s Rain Mist Sword.
Seeing this, Yu Shi and the Prince of the Rain Mist could not help but sneer, thinking how could this sword be shaken by you, and it would easily destroy your artifact.
But what they never expected was that the destroyed artifact was not Ye Chu’s, but his Rain Mist Sword. Struck by Ye Chu’s Green Lotus, the Rain Mist Sword snapped directly into two pieces.
“This is impossible!” The Prince of the Rain Mist was horrified, staring wide-eyed at Ye Chu, his face full of anger as he glared fixedly at him.
“Nothing is impossible!” Ye Chu looked at his opponent with a beaming smile. “When it comes to comparing artifacts, I truly have nothing to fear from someone of the same level.”
What was his artifact forged from? And what materials was the opponent’s forged from? How could he possibly imagine the terror of immortal materials, not to mention that he also had various wondrous items like the Chaos Green Qi?
The Prince of the Rain Mist spat out a mouthful of blood. This was an artifact he had forged with countless efforts, deeply intertwined with his own blood and qi. Its destruction at this moment had a massive impact on him.
In particular, the Prince of the Rain Mist realised that Ye Chu’s artifact, just like his own, was not left behind by predecessors but forged by himself. This discovery was simply hard for the Prince of the Rain Mist to accept. How could someone’s artifact be stronger than his Rain Mist Sword!
“Admit defeat!” Ye Chu pointed his Green Lotus at his opponent, looking at him indifferently. Although he wanted to kill him in one fell swoop right now, he knew it was impossible. With Tan Long and Yu Shi both here, it would be extremely difficult for him to do so.
The Prince of the Rain Mist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared fixedly at Ye Chu, his eyes stubborn as he refused to admit defeat.
“Do you still want to fight?” Ye Chu sneered. “But you are no longer qualified.”
Ye Chu admitted that the Prince of the Rain Mist was strong and indeed hard to find an equal match among those of the same realm. If it were not for his own lifebound ultimate art, he feared it would have been truly difficult to defeat him.
At this moment, Liu Yun also revealed a smile. Among those of the same realm, battles between outstanding talents were generally evenly matched. Being able to defeat the opponent was already a luxury, let alone winning so decisively, which was even harder to accept. Ye Chu had greatly boosted the prestige of the Floating Life Palace.
