The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 256: The Only Reason—Not Strong Enough

Within the array, beneath the grand cauldron, all fell silent.

"Even someone as strong as Ye Xiaoyao has ultimately been suppressed!"

"That’s right! Even if he isn’t suppressed, he can’t break this array. The Nine Tripods can’t be shattered, so the array can’t be dismantled. In the end, he’ll exhaust himself to death without any hope!"

A sigh escaped the crowd.

The members of the Long Family and Xing Family wore expressions of excitement; not long ago, Ye Qingtian had single-handedly threatened the Long Family with his astonishing prowess, attempting to annihilate them. Now, isn’t he subdued instead?

"Today, I will spare your life, but you must mourn for the fallen members of the Long Family! Repent here on your knees for seven days!"

Long Wuya’s face twisted with fury, the murderous intent filled the space.

"Ye Xiaoyao, in the end, still succumbed to youthful arrogance! His personality destined him not to progress far on the Martial Arts Dao!"

Ye Canghai clasped his hands behind his back, shaking his head regretfully.

Nearby, Second was preparing to intervene and save Ye Qingtian.

"For the sake of my disciple, I will cast aside my pride!"

Second sneered, boosting his cultivation to its peak.

"Be careful, Second!"

The others warned.

"I can’t break this array, but rescuing someone is effortless!"

Second exuded a mysterious self-confidence.

"Do you really think it’s over?"

Suddenly, Ye Qingtian’s voice echoed.

The moment his words fell, the sound of cracking reverberated in everyone’s ears.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, they witnessed the grand cauldron within the array explode, disintegrating from top to bottom, vanishing entirely.

Ye Qingtian appeared with the shadow of a Xuanwu Divine Cauldron emanating from him, exuding an aura that could devour the heavens.

"What?"

Long Wuya’s expression drastically changed, his eyes nearly popped out.

Immediately after, Ye Qingtian ascended into the sky.

"Bang!"

He punched one of the Nine Divine Martial Tripods.

"Crack!"

The first divine tripod shattered aloud.

"Bang!"

The second divine tripod shattered.

"Bang!"

The third divine tripod shattered.

...

After the ninth punch, the Nine Divine Martial Tripods were all smashed into powder, dissipating into the world.

The unbreakable array of the Divine Martial True Master was forcibly torn apart by Ye Qingtian using his fists!

At this moment, the entire scene fell into dead silence, everything ceased.

Everyone present was practically petrified, their expressions frozen, as if encased in ice.

Especially the Spiritual Technique Masters and Martial Arts Experts, their shock was the greatest. They knew the array’s power, especially the Nine Divine Tripods were indestructible, capable of dispersing received attacks, theoretically impossible to be breached.

Yet Ye Qingtian defied everyone’s understanding, using his fists to shatter the Nine Divine Tripods.

Instantly, the array vanished, and the intimidating pressure faded without a trace.

"How is this possible?"

Ye Canghai and Fang Lingfei witnessed the Nine Tripods shattering, it was undeniably the most shocking scene they had ever seen.

"I’ve suddenly realized a problem; he hasn’t condensed a Martial Seal at all! He’s fighting with an extraordinary physique! Which sect did he learn from?"

Sheng Yunhan discovered a problem that caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

"I...ugh..."

Second nearly spat out a mouthful of blood from witnessing that scene.

The Nine Divine Tripods are broken?

The Divine Martial Nine Tripods Demon Destruction Array has just been breached?

He even doubted if he was dreaming!

How could all this be possible?

"Is he really that strong? Perhaps only One in the Fifth Team can subdue him?"

Thirteen’s words seemed to drench Second with cold water, forcing him to confront and accept this brutal reality.

Only One can take him down?

Doesn’t that mean he’s not a match at all?

Understanding this reality, Second felt chills rising from his feet straight to the top of his skull, his scalp tingling, nearly driving him mad.

The disciple I’ve always wanted to take in turned out to be stronger than me!

"Ugh!"

Unable to accept this fact, Second nearly vomited blood.

Twelve, Thirteen, and several others showed expressions of helplessness, no wonder from the start Ye Qingtian ignored them, his strength was enough to crush them all.

"In the end, we underestimated the pinnacle of the Huaxia Martial Arts Dao!"

The few sighed.

"You... how did you do it? The Nine Divine Tripods were supposed to be indestructible!"

Long Wuya looked at Ye Qingtian in disbelief.

"The only reason they can’t be broken is—insufficient strength!"

Ye Qingtian delivered a lesson in blood and reality.

"Could the Abandoned Celestial Destiny truly be as rumored?"

Long Wuya said in surprise.

But then Long Wuya changed his tone sharply: "But beating me, that’s impossible."

As he finished speaking, Long Wuya invoked a Spiritual Artifact.

"Ice and Fire Divine Seal!"

Instantly, two terrifying energies of different attributes permeated the heavens.

"Ah! It’s this energy!"

Second was all too familiar with this type of energy, it was precisely his purpose for coming here.

According to legends, the treasure of the Martial Arts Major Sect, the Five Elements Celestial Sect, the Five Elements Profound Seal was dispersed across Huaxia, shattering into the Five Elements True Power. Just obtaining one strand of true power renders one invincible in the Mortal World.

Currently, the Fifth Team has found three strands of true power, only this one remains.

All these years, not only the Huaxia Martial Arts Realm has been secretly searching, but even many overseas have been looking.

Now Long Wuya possesses two strands of Five Elements True Power.

"So these energies are in Long Wuya’s possession!"

The Fifth Team was astounded.

"It seems Long Wuya has mastered the elements of water and fire!"

Second’s face tightened.

"Legendary Five Elements True Power!"

Ye Canghai and several others’ faces changed.

"Ye Xiaoyao, meet your death!"

As Long Wuya unleashed his Spirit Technique, the sky was suddenly blanketed by flames like a rain curtain.

Fire like rain, like Celestial Fire, scattered across.

Amidst the flames, Five Elements True Power was abundant, unparalleled.

"Break!"

Ye Qingtian called lightly, scattering the sea of flames.

"Boom!"

In the sky, a massive fireball formed, akin to a descending sun, unmatched in power.

"Bang!"

Yet Ye Qingtian still punched and shattered it.

Long Wuya roared furiously, two strands of Five Elements True Power filled the heavens.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Water and fire true power spawned two rage dragons, one icy, one fiery, traversing nine heavens.

The two rage dragons roared towards Ye Qingtian, intertwining water and fire, the dragon form overshadowing the skies, fierce and terrifying, carrying an unmatched aura of suppression.

Encounter Buddha, kill Buddha; encounter god, kill god.

"Heh, even if the True Dragon personally comes, I can still tear it apart, let alone these two things!"

Ye Qingtian shifted instantaneously, appearing before the two rage dragons.

The dragons roared, their claws surged with Five Elements True Power, aiming to tear Ye Qingtian apart.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

But how could Ye Qingtian’s physique be ordinary?

Dragon claws fell, striking him, producing a thunderous explosion, yet unable to cause any substantial damage.

In the next moment, Ye Qingtian struck the dragon claw with a punch, causing it to crack.

Simultaneously, he surged forward, appearing before the dragon’s head, Ye Qingtian’s palms reaching for the dragon head.
