This fellow appeared in Xiaohe Village, and this fellow really wanted to sleep. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a mighty power manifested before him. He felt that he could not control this power, and in that instant, he sensed a force gradually approaching him, a force he couldn't control.
Perhaps it was this uncontrollable force that made Ye Tiancheng feel the newcomer was hostile, and also that this force had to remind Ye Tiancheng.
But in a flash, Ye Tiancheng was somewhat bewildered. He hadn't expected the other party to appear before him so quickly; it was truly surprising.
The moment this fellow appeared here, it proved the problem was very serious. Thus, a sense of fear began to surface in Yang Zi's heart, making him feel as if the world was collapsing. For several years, he dared not face it because immense pressure had already formed in his heart. This pressure could cause a great burden, but now he felt he had nothing more to worry about.
Why did she have such a feeling?
At this point, Ye Tiancheng suddenly felt a killing intent emerge.
At that very moment, Ye Tiancheng suddenly felt this power reach him.
"What kind of power is this? It's astonishing. Feeling this force approaching him, Ye Tiancheng's heart was filled with strange thoughts. Perhaps these strange thoughts had already formed a serious challenge in his mind."
This serious challenge had begun to gradually form within him, giving him a feeling of exhilaration and a strong desire to challenge the opponent.
"I didn't expect that what made me so happy for seventeen years would happen!" Hei Ya suddenly sneered. Because they cherished each other, both were masters, and thus their challenge meant they would form a formidable challenge between them. This formidable challenge was something Ye Tiancheng and Hei Ya greatly enjoyed, as having an opponent meant what kind of challenge was it?
That goes without saying.
Ye Tiancheng moved towards the fellow with lightning speed.
While Hei Ya was still congratulating himself, he suddenly saw someone appear before him, and he was greatly astonished.
He never dreamed that Ye Tiancheng would appear before them so quickly, nor did he expect that the timing and location of their appearance would be so swift.
This greatly surprised him.
Why were they so surprised? Of course, it was because they had never expected it. They cherished each other deeply. Hei Ya saw a pure white aura emanating from Ye Tiancheng and looked at him in surprise, saying, "I truly didn't expect Your Excellency to be so formidable and powerful; it's beyond my imagination. If it weren't for this, we might have become good friends."
"That's your one-sided wishful thinking. In my heart, becoming good friends is impossible because we represent two opposing sides. You are the thief, and I am the soldier. It is only natural for soldiers to catch thieves. So, if you die by my hand, do not feel sad, because in this world, someone must suffer."
Hei Ya was also an inheritor of evil, so the power emanating from him did not appear weak; instead, the power he carried made him feel exceptionally strong, so strong that people were intimidated. To possess such power and such a mind was truly enviable. Ye Tiancheng didn't want to waste words with him, as he felt that talking nonsense with such a person was an insult to his intelligence. So, what did he want to do next? What would he do? This was still a matter of great learning.
Facing this most learned question, he felt a slight ache in his head, so he wanted to ask him sternly.
"Why do I feel you are a person with no ability, only good at talking? If you are an enemy of someone I know, I wish to die with clarity." Ye Tiancheng's sudden words surprised the other party, because how could someone with such a powerful aura easily perish?
Therefore, this feeling towards him was impossible, and it was something that absolutely could not exist. Yet, it was precisely this impossible or absolutely unallowable thing that truly happened, and it happened in a way that made it feel insurmountable.
This feeling surprised the other party because he had never felt a sense of impending death before. He felt that perhaps this feeling would plunge him into an even more inescapable state. At this moment, he desperately wanted to change his fate and his power.
"Things that cannot be done must be done by all means. Perhaps many things will undergo unexpected changes at this moment. Who knows? Because that kid carries a storage ring, and a storage ring is a spatial ring that can store many items. You surely wouldn't refuse such a thing, would you?" Shen Shi heard Ye Tiancheng's words and was very surprised. He felt that this young man shouldn't have such negative feelings towards him. He should pull himself together and face the difficulties before him.
He worried that this fellow might die, and if he died, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.
"I can't believe you're saying this at this critical juncture and wanting to help me. It's truly commendable." Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on his face.
This strange smile made everyone feel incredible. Simultaneously, all the power erupted from Ye Tiancheng, attacking the opponent with a powerful aura. The opponent likely didn't expect Ye Tiancheng to possess such a powerful aura, an aura capable of shaking all living forces.
"I didn't expect you to possess the Nuwa Stone, but so what..."
Hei Ya didn't care how powerful Ye Tiancheng became because he was full of confidence in himself.
Since he was full of confidence, he naturally didn't take him seriously.
Therefore, in the next moment, he could do whatever he wanted and treat Ye Tiancheng however he pleased. The reason Hei Ya possessed such courage and aura was entirely because he inherited a fragment of the Fuxi Qin.
As one of the six ancient divine artifacts, even a small piece of the Fuxi Qin's power was enough to destroy heavens and earth, move mountains and fill seas. Therefore, he believed he would definitely surpass Ye Tiancheng and eliminate him. Besides this, a flying knife suddenly appeared in his hand. This flying knife was made of tungsten iron, entirely black on the outside, looking very exquisite, and its blade was extremely sharp. The sharp gleam reflected half the feeling of a god, sending a chill down one's spine.
"I didn't expect you to be an inheritor of a divine artifact as well. No wonder you're so arrogant. Since you possess the power of the Fuxi Qin, let's have a good look at it." The reason Ye Tiancheng knew Hei Ya had a fragment of the Fuxi Qin was because Shen Shi told him. Shen Shi's original form was the Nuwa Stone. Since it was the Nuwa Stone, it naturally possessed extraordinary power. Facing such extraordinary power, surpassing the opponent would naturally require a great price, and Ye Tiancheng didn't want to pay such a price. For him, possessing the entire Shen Shi to counter the Fuxi Qin fragment should be more than enough. He wasn't worried about dying. With such confidence and mindset, he could easily defeat the opponent. The opponent likely didn't expect him to dare to confront him so directly and display his will.
In the face of this absolute will, it was as if two powerful forces were already engaging in a spiritual confrontation before they even clashed. The confrontation of consciousness represented the strength of their souls. If their souls were strong, they could win in the confrontation of consciousness.
The confrontation between these two powerful divine senses took place in a desolate area.
A vast, desolate expanse. This desolate area was the space where the two divine senses existed...
"Fuxi Qin... I didn't expect you to become like this, a mere fragment." At this moment, the Nuwa Stone mocked the Fuxi Qin fragment.
"You're such an idiot. Don't you know that even as a fragment, I can defeat you?" The Fuxi Qin fragment laughed mockingly.
Hearing the other's mockery, the Nuwa Stone said nothing more, because it knew there was no point in talking nonsense with the arrogant Fuxi Qin fragment. Talking too much during a fight could easily lead to death.
The Nuwa Stone didn't want to exchange harsh words. It immediately initiated the battle. Its entire body erupted with yellow light, while the Fuxi Qin emitted green light. The ancient divine artifacts, there were six in total. Among them, the Nuwa Stone was a divine artifact, and the Fuxi Qin was also a divine artifact.
However, during the ancient creation of heaven and earth, a great flood and a war occurred between demons and gods. This led to the fragmentation of several divine artifacts. Now, only the Nuwa Stone remained complete; all other divine artifacts had turned into fragments. These fragments fell into the hands of some people, who, possessing such immense power, wreaked havoc in the world. In the 1920s and 1930s, two world wars were fought, primarily to seize these divine artifact fragments. They desperately wanted to obtain such power, surpass themselves, and thus rule the world. This was the basic idea that every ambitious person would have, especially when possessing power that no one else could surpass, ambition would naturally inflate.
This almost led to the extinction of humanity.
Under the temptation of immense power, no one could escape its constraints.
Everyone's great power was innate. They knew that once they possessed power, they could control others, manipulate everyone, strip others of their freedom, and make them dedicate themselves to them.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng also had the same idea, but he had one crucial difference: he had his own moral bottom line. If he didn't have this last moral bottom line, he would have degenerated into someone like Hei Ya. To prove he was different from him, he truly changed himself.
The other party also saw what he was thinking and couldn't help but chuckle at him. Why did he laugh at him? It was because he found Ye Tiancheng ridiculous. He wanted to snatch the treasure from him. Besides the Fuxi Qin fragment, he also possessed a spatial ring. The so-called spatial ring was something that could store many items. With the existence of such a thing, many things became incredibly convenient.
Seeing that this fellow possessed a storage ring, Ye Tiancheng felt extremely envious and jealous. Such a good treasure, any ambitious person would want to obtain it. Obtaining such a thing would bring endless benefits and eliminate clumsy transportation. If he wanted to bring anything, he could simply put the desired item into the storage ring, and then retrieve it from the spatial ring upon arrival at his destination. Such a near-sci-fi item could only be possessed by someone with immense luck in this world and who was destined by heaven to be a prodigy.
"I didn't expect you to also want to get my thing; this truly surprises me."
"There are many things that will make you depressed, so now I just want to kill you and make you disappear from this world forever. Are you convinced?" A terrifying expression appeared on his face, an expression that had reached the point of drawing swords.
Ye Tiancheng would use his skills to thoroughly tell him that anyone who offended him would face death. The two clashed between life and death.
Although Hei Ya only possessed a fragment, he was not a weakling to be trifled with. He had survived to this day entirely because of his soul's power. Everyone wanted to wait forever in this world. As long as they could live, they could enjoy these abundant material possessions and power. Therefore, after obtaining such immense power, the ultimate desire was to live and enjoy everything they possessed. If they lost their lives, everything they owned would become someone else's, because besides their own lives, they could take nothing with them, not even their bodies, which would remain in this world and turn to dust.
The desire to live was stronger than anything else, so Hei Ya was not easily killed. This could be seen from his determined city. To compensate for his insufficient power, he possessed his vast soul, burning it. This powerful soul ignited an incredibly fierce flame. He was now emitting a green fiery glow, the flames burning fiercely and soaring into the sky. Ye Tiancheng saw him burning his soul to enhance his power and couldn't help but mock him, saying, "I didn't expect you to want to live so badly, but in front of me, such a thought is undoubtedly wishful thinking."
The reason Ye Tiancheng had such a temper and could remind him was entirely to tell him a genuine fact: in the face of his power, anything would turn into nothingness. Therefore, he was simply incapable of treating himself kindly, or rather, of defeating Ye Tiancheng. Everyone had unrealistic thoughts when they dreamed, but what consequences would these unrealistic thoughts ultimately lead to? This fellow had never thought about it, perhaps he didn't care about those things at all. For him, those were secondary. The most important thing was to survive.
In many cases, this principle completely told him that only by surviving could one enjoy everything and possess everything.
The two forces clashed in the air, like lightning from the end of the world. If it weren't night, the villagers would surely see aurora-like lights. The two soaring beams of light intersected and collided in the air, emitting crackling sounds. After these crackling roars...
A body fell heavily to the ground, creating a three-meter-deep giant pit in the soft soil. Dark green mist emerged from the vast pit, and within it lay Hei Ya, on the verge of death. He could only exhale, not inhale. His eyes were vacant as he looked at Ye Tiancheng, his expression dejected, and said, "I didn't expect you to also burn your soul's power."
"There are many things you will come to expect." If he hadn't burned his soul, Ye Tiancheng wouldn't have known that burning the soul produced powerful energy. His only flaw and his only advantage was that if others could do it, he could too.
Therefore, this fellow should not have displayed his soul burning in front of Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng learned this move and immediately activated his soul burning. Because Ye Tiancheng possessed the complete divine artifact, the Nuwa Stone, this fellow was defeated miserably.
Within a few seconds, Hei Ya completely lost all signs of life, his body gradually cooling down with the heat flowing through the air. Now he needed to leave immediately and didn't want to delay, because the villagers had been alerted by the loud noise, and many had rushed out of their houses. In the dark night sky, countless flashlights flickered. These villagers were searching for the source of the loud noise...
So, Ye Tiancheng immediately took the Fuxi Qin fragment and the spatial ring from him.
This night, this fellow had a very fruitful harvest, obtaining the spatial ring and the Fuxi Qin fragment, thus expanding his power.
Because he had new things, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
However, the first thing he did with the storage ring was to put Hei Ya's corpse inside, then, under the cover of night, he took the fellow's corpse to the cliff behind the mountain and disposed of it at the bottom of the cliff, just like Hou Damao before.
After doing all this, he walked along the mountain path for about two hours and returned to the village. By this time, it was already dawn. The villagers, because of yesterday's events, were whispering and discussing amongst themselves...
Seeing the villagers whispering and discussing, Ye Tiancheng found it amusing.
Because he heard their topic of discussion was that there might have been a supernatural phenomenon in the village, as the massive pit, covering more than twenty mu, had completely formed a natural fish pond.
Seeing this deep pit, Ye Tiancheng thought it could be used for raising fish fry.
He never expected such a small harvest. Such a fish pond, without needing an excavator to dig it, appeared overnight. This would surely spread, and people would think they had encountered aliens.
