CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 870 [4-PHASE GOLDEN BODY ARRAY ACTIVATED]

[PS: Please check if there are any "monthly tickets" inside the accounts. Come on, give me a few!]

The Sly Old Ghost looked coldly at Ye Tianchen. In just such a moment, he had already rushed into Zhongnanhai, killing all the powerful Ancient Martial Artists and Superpower Users, searched the entire office building of Zhongnanhai, and found no trace of the old leaders of China, nor the existence of the Dragon Crystal. His heart sank, but he quickly thought that the disappearance of the old Chinese leaders and the Dragon Crystal must be related to Ye Tianchen. Otherwise, why would he show up here? So, the Sly Old Ghost rushed up at the first opportunity, intending to intercept Ye Tianchen and kill him.

"You have one last chance to speak. I hope you cherish it." The Sly Old Ghost said harshly, staring at Ye Tianchen.

"You are already a dead man. The only choice you have now is how you’re going to die." Xu Zigang pointed a spear at Ye Tianchen, asserting forcefully.

Ye Tianchen frowned, his gaze unwavering. He would not be defeated, he would not die. If he died, his mother and little sister would also die. He couldn’t bring death to them; he had to live, fight to the death to break through, and save his mother and sister. He could feel that the "Four Phases Golden Body Formation" was about to be breached. If things continued like this, Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui would break into the villa.

"There’s no choice. I can only fight. It’s do or die!" Ye Tianchen clenched his fist, thinking to himself.

Rumble!

Ye Tianchen’s whole body emanated thousands of rays of golden light, his body was crackling loudly, as if about to break through to a new Cultivation Realm and suffer Heavenly Punishment. Xu Zigang and the Sly Old Ghost were taken aback and quickly retreated. They were both powerful Martial Artists and naturally could feel the sudden increase in Ye Tianchen’s battle power, which made him seem like a completely different person, leaving Xu Zigang and the Sly Old Ghost feeling incredulous.

"Not good, stop him quickly..." The Sly Old Ghost shouted loudly as Xu Zigang had already taken action, thrusting the spear in his right hand toward Ye Tianchen. A powerful Divine Power surged like a tidal wave.

This time, facing Xu Zigang’s spear attack, Ye Tianchen calmly stood still, his eyes brimming with golden Divine Radiance. At this moment, he was in a state of overturning; a state of ’who else but me,’ courageously invincible. He punched toward Xu Zigang’s spear, confronting the Treasure with just his body, akin to an egg against a rock.

"You’re too arrogant. Don’t think that just because you’ve increased your battle power, you can block my spear Treasure." Xu Zigang shouted again, unleashing a strong burst of Martial Arts True Power, making the Divine Power of the spear attacking Ye Tianchen even stronger and more formidable.

Bam!

Ye Tianchen’s fist smashed into the spear, abruptly blocking the Divine Power on the spear, leaving Xu Zigang and the Sly Old Ghost momentarily stunned, both of them in disbelief. No one anticipated that Ye Tianchen’s sudden enhancement in battle power would enable him to fight the Treasure with bare fists. What kind of Divine Arts was he performing that could enhance his battle power several times at such a critical moment?

"You..." Xu Zigang was so astonished he couldn’t speak, never imagining that Ye Tianchen, who had just been unable to retaliate, could now withstand his spear Treasure with his bare fists. This was too incredible! His battle power had at least crossed several levels!

"You block me, I kill you!"

Ye Tianchen coldly uttered, increasing the Martial Arts True Power in his right hand, and with a bang, knocked Xu Zigang’s spear flying, simultaneously shattering the Divine Power on it to pieces.

"Why are you still standing there? Attack together and kill him!" The Sly Old Ghost glanced at Xu Zigang and roared.

"No need. Even if he used a secret technique to boost his battle power, he’s no match for me!" Xu Zigang remained very assertive and confident, intending to fight Ye Tianchen alone.

"No, this is not some secret technique, but the legendary realm of cross-tier battles. It is a profound realm and the lifelong pursuit of countless martial artists. Now, this little brat’s battle power has increased several times, enough to have a grand battle with any of us. To kill him, we’ll need to join forces and use our full strength, otherwise, the fight will be earth-shattering without a definite winner!" The Ghastly Ghost stopped Xu Zigang, his eyes filled with astonishment as he spoke.

"The realm of cross-tier battles? Is there really someone in this world who can achieve it?" Xu Zigang also asked in surprise.

"I don’t know, but in ancient times on Earth, there were countless strong individuals who left legends like this. Those who can touch the realm of cross-tier battles can fight against people with much higher cultivation realms. Such an existence is against the heavens, and if they grow stronger, they will become immensely terrifying." The Ghastly Ghost looked fiercely at Ye Tianchen and said.

Xu Zigang was startled, then sneered as he came back to his senses, "I didn’t expect this kid to touch the realm of cross-tier battles. No wonder he dares to oppose us. But that’s also his sorrow, destined to be cut down here. Let’s do it!"

Ye Tianchen had no choice but to activate the realm of cross-tier battles, pushing this realm to an unprecedented height. He now stood at a peak position, fearless and invincible, ready to engage in a bloody battle to carve a path back to save his mother and little sister, even against the strong martial arts experts like the Ghastly Ghost and Xu Zigang.

The Ghastly Ghost, indeed after cultivating in the Ancient Martial World for many years, was an unfathomable martial artist. He was very cunning and insidious, also very knowledgeable. He immediately recognized that the reason Ye Tianchen’s battle power suddenly surged to such an alarming level was not due to some secret technique, but because he stood in the realm of cross-tier battles. His cultivation battle power improved several levels, reaching the point where he could have a grand battle with Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost. Although it might still be difficult for Ye Tianchen to kill Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost with one punch, given that their cultivation realms were originally above his and their battle power stronger, Ye Tianchen now had no problem battling either Xu Zigang or the Ghastly Ghost alone.

A fierce battle erupted, shaking the entire Zhongnanhai. If Ye Tianchen hadn’t taken the precaution to lure the Ghastly Ghost and Xu Zigang higher into the sky, such powerful martial arts true power spreading out would have flattened everything below long ago.

Ye Tianchen held the Taie Sword, Xu Zigang wielded a spear treasure, while the Ghastly Ghost had an object akin to the "Blood Dripper," a disc that must not be underestimated. It could vary in size and speed, assassinating silently, or it could descend like a sky-darkening oppression. Ye Tianchen narrowly avoided being injured by this Compass Treasure multiple times.

Swish!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen slashed out two powerful sword qi. The Power of Might surged, combined with his standing in the realm of cross-tier battles, these two strikes seemed to split the heavens itself. Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost did not take it head-on but quickly dodged and counterattacked Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen used this brief moment to employ the Divine Movement Skill to appear ten miles away, and as he was about to continue forward, he found Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost had already arrived. At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to escape, and drawing Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost to the residential villa would be an even greater disaster.

"No, I have just touched the realm of cross-tier battles and haven’t become fully proficient. I can’t hold on for long, and Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost are very strong. I can’t kill them both at the same time, nor can I escape. I must first activate the Four Phases Golden Body Formation to protect my mom and little sister, and then find a way to get rid of Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost." Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

This time, things were truly tricky, something Ye Tianchen had not anticipated. Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui were already formidable, but there were even stronger Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost. Now, if he weren’t in the realm of cross-tier battles and at the peak of his battle power, he would have been killed by Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost, with no energy to escape. However, the realm of cross-tier battles is so profound that Ye Tianchen can only touch it during life-and-death crises, and he can’t sustain it for too long. The consumption of origin power is too great, and according to his estimates, he won’t be able to maintain it for more than an hour. Once he falls from the realm of cross-tier battles, he’ll be instantly killed by Xu Zigang and the Ghastly Ghost.

"Four Phases Golden Body Formation, activate!"

The seal in Ye Tianchen’s hand changed, and a life-bound essence blood rushed to the top of his head. This was his remote control to the "Four Phases Golden Body Formation," which would require a massive consumption of essence blood and martial arts true power, but Ye Tianchen could no longer care about such things. He needed to save himself and rescue his mom and little sister. In this city, no one could save him; he could only rely on himself.

Hum!

At this moment, outside the residential villa, Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui were shocked as they frantically attacked the "Four Phases Golden Body Formation." They quickly retreated, originally close to breaking the formation, but with a flash of divine light, the protective barrier around the villa suddenly strengthened a lot. In the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, four enormous Buddha statues appeared, and a figure appeared on the villa’s rooftop, gazing coldly at Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui. This person was Ye Tianchen, startling Hu Changhe and the others to retreat involuntarily. They hadn’t expected the formation to have such a powerful side, nor had they anticipated Ye Tianchen suddenly appearing. Could he have rushed back to protect his mother and little sister? .)
