Chapter 535: Then I'll Break It for You

Without a doubt, the intruder had come to their doorstep to rescue the people of the Vermilion Bird Tribe!

Luo Qianzhong discarded his disdain and scrutinized the young man before him.

The young man wore a green shirt, his expression placid.

It was as if invading the Luo Race’s territory was a trivial matter to him, something unworthy of even causing a ripple in his heart.

For some reason, even though Luo Qianzhong had spent his entire life fighting in the Black Triangle, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine under the young man’s gaze.

He suddenly spoke. “The people of the Vermilion Bird Tribe are indeed in my hands.”

“If you want to save them, you’d best…”

But before he could finish, the young man, as if having just received the answer he wanted, suddenly erupted into action and charged at him!

This enraged Luo Qianzhong. ‘This kid doesn’t respect me at all!’

“How dare you attack our Clan Leader?”

“Back down!”

Beside Luo Qianzhong, two deputy clan leaders at the Primordial Mansion Realm had already sprung into action, striking at Ye Chen with their palms.

Behind them, phantoms of vast Spiritual Seas churned. A Primordial Mansion shimmering with rosy light could be vaguely seen standing upon each one, and their bodies radiated powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations.

Countless members of the Luo Race watched them with awe and reverence.

Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivators!

In a third-rate faction, they were the pillars of strength!

The entire Luo Race only had four Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivators: the old Clan Leader, Luo Qianzhong, and the three deputy clan leaders, including Sikong.

In their eyes, no matter how audacious the young man was, he was bound to be defeated by a Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator.

However, the outcome shocked everyone.

With a deafening BOOM!

The next moment, the two Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivators plummeted from the sky like kites with their strings cut. Their bodies were drenched in blood, the bones in their arms shattered, and they didn’t even have the strength to scream.

The crowd was universally stunned.

It all happened so fast. They hadn’t even seen the details of the exchange clearly—just a flicker of a shadow, and the two Primordial Mansion Realm deputy clan leaders were defeated one after the other.

“How can this be?!”

Even Luo Qianzhong was startled, his old face twisting in shock.

“You just said the members of the Vermilion Bird Tribe are in your hands, correct?”

Ye Chen’s gaze fell on Luo Qianzhong, his eyes cold and detached.

“W-Wait a moment…” Luo Qianzhong tried to say something more, intending to pacify Ye Chen first.

But Ye Chen had no patience to listen.

WHOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen was right in front of him.

To the current Ye Chen, any Cultivator below the Divinity Transformation Realm was someone to be crushed. There was no need for negotiation.

“Form the array!”

At that moment, Luo Qianzhong’s heart clenched as he sensed an intense crisis. He finally snapped back to his senses and roared.

SHING!

Luo Qianzhong summoned a Dharma Seal. Countless rays of rosy light erupted from beneath his feet, and his gaunt frame seemed to grow sturdier as it filled with this power.

“Is that… the Luo Race’s clan-guarding Spiritual Treasure?!”

Qing Lian’s bright eyes flashed with alarm. She quickly warned Ye Chen, “Be careful! You’ve pushed them to the brink!”

“The clan-guarding Spiritual Treasure summoned by the Luo Race’s Clan Leader can gather the power of heaven and earth, merge the Spiritual Power of all the clan’s Cultivators, and unleash an incredibly powerful attack!”

“It’s said that any Cultivator below the Divinity Transformation Realm… can only evade such an attack and not face it head-on!”

As Qing Lian’s words fell, Luo Qianzhong sneered, “You’re only thinking of warning him now? Too late!”

Just as Qing Lian had said, a blue line of light extended from the bodies of every Luo Race Cultivator at the Bone Forging Realm and above.

The lines were so thin they were almost imperceptible, and their other ends all connected to Luo Qianzhong.

Rosy light exploded from Luo Qianzhong’s entire body. At this moment, it was as if he possessed the power to sweep through heaven and earth. A divine glint flowed in his eyes, a terrifying aura shook the world, and the immense pressure made it hard for Qing Lian to breathe.

‘So this is the foundation of the Luo Race…’

‘No wonder they’ve survived for so many years without being wiped out. Eradicating this clan is truly no easy feat!’

Qing Lian’s lovely face was filled with shock, and her skin tingled with tension.

The Luo Race and the White Tiger Tribe had been enemies for countless ages.

Back then, although the White Tiger Tribe had already begun to decline, it was nowhere near as weak as it was now.

But even so, they hadn’t been able to eradicate the Luo Race.

Now, with the loss of their totem’s power, the White Tiger Tribe had lost its source of strength. Their people grew weaker with each generation, and in the end, they could only be trampled by the Luo Race, left with no power to resist.

Qing Lian finally understood. It wasn’t that her ancestors were unwilling to wipe out the Luo Race; it was that the Luo Race’s foundation was truly formidable.

‘With this clan-guarding Spiritual Treasure, the Luo Race must be considered powerful even among third-rate factions, right?’

“Boy, do you still intend to fight me?”

Seeing Ye Chen stop before him without making any rash moves, Luo Qianzhong assumed the young man was finally afraid.

Immense power pulsed from his body, giving him the air of an invincible, all-conquering hero.

He looked at Ye Chen with a mocking expression and sneered, “If you kneel and kowtow in apology, I might grant you a quick death.”

The other clan members also looked at Ye Chen mockingly.

In their view, the power their Clan Leader now wielded should be enough to force this powerful, unfamiliar young man into submission.

However, Ye Chen merely looked Luo Qianzhong up and down.

He couldn’t help but remark, “This array of yours truly has many flaws.”

“An array that can gather the power of heaven and earth and concentrate everyone’s strength is quite a forbidden technique. But this array of yours is likely incomplete; there are far too many flaws.”

“If I were to modify it, you might be able to match a Divinity Transformation… no, you’d be able to defeat one!”

“Otherwise, in its current state, I can shatter it with a flick of my finger.”

“Shatter it with a flick of your finger?!” For a moment, Luo Qianzhong’s old face tensed up.

Ye Chen’s words made him extremely uncomfortable. This was the Luo Race’s ultimate ace, yet the other party described it as worthless. How could he not be furious?

He stared at Ye Chen as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke. “Why don’t you try and shatter it for me to see?”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ye Chen stepped forward, a faint smile appearing on his face.

“Then I’ll shatter it for you to see.”

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers repeatedly and then threw a punch.

A crisp sound, like a mirror suddenly shattering on the ground, echoed clearly in everyone’s ears.

Immediately after, the rosy light enveloping Luo Qianzhong vanished like a receding tide.
