I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 903 Heavenly Martial Dragon Pattern, 3 Fist Stances

"They've finally started fighting, that's what makes it more fun."

In the distance, Kou Wuji wore a broad smile.

At the same time, a cold black light slashed down from behind him.

Kou Wuji didn't even glance at me, and immediately used earth magic to leave, leaving behind the words: "Noble Lady Ye, we are allies. If you send me away, how will you snatch the demon soul mark from the Ninth Prince?"

The black light descended and transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman with dark, bluish skin.

She was dressed in black openwork silk, wearing high-heeled jade boots, and her two pointed ears were noticeably taller than normal.

She is a Night Maiden from Wuzhou, and now she is a Noble Lady appointed by the Holy Empress.

The Night Maiden, wielding two blades, slashed at the spot and expressionlessly sank into the ground, a feat even more miraculous than Kou Wuji's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

This is the innate divine ability of the Night Maidens clan, the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that one possesses from birth), allowing them to move freely underground, a skill of unparalleled prowess.

Meanwhile, in other places, Nirvana experts were also secretly lurking.

For example, Jin Lingfeng and Wei Huanyan were currently crouching behind a small hill, cautiously watching the battle in the distance.

"Little Princess, can you believe it? That's my buddy Ye Kang! He's gotten so strong!" Jin Lingfeng exclaimed excitedly.

He met Wei Huanyan the moment he entered the blessed land.

The two traveled together, and it was as if they had a cheat code; they encountered treasures every few steps.

Extinct immortal herbs, top-grade vermilion fruits, martial arts jade slips, and even a bunch of demon remains that died in internal strife!

Jin Lingfeng had never felt so successful in his life, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Although he didn't know why, he had a vague feeling that he was related to Wei Huanyan, so he stuck with her and felt incredibly good about it.

Seeing Ye Kang so fierce now, he felt even more exhilarated.

As expected of the young master, how come all the friends he makes are so amazing?

Rounding up, wouldn't this young master be even more awesome?

Jin Lingfeng was smug, but Wei Huanyan ignored him and just silently watched the two fighting.

Those two guys actually have even greater fortune than I do.

I was blessed with good fortune by Grandpa Turtle, so what about those two guys?

Countless eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and at this moment, Ye Kang and Wu Jiuyuan had already exchanged blows hundreds of times!

Both of them possessed top-tier physical bodies; one had the body of a demon, and the other had mastered the divine tempering technique of a Martial Emperor. Their physical strength was immeasurable.

Each punch landed with a terrifying roar, the air and sound waves mingling and igniting the shockwave, triggering a chain of explosions.

Smoke rose out of nowhere, and a deafening roar shook the heavens.

The disdain in Wu Jiuyuan's eyes gradually turned into intense excitement.

"You're very good! You have such strong body tempering skills, I acknowledge you!"

Wu Jiuyuan laughed heartily, but his punches became faster and faster, making him completely invisible.

Ye Kang, however, was equally unyielding, each punch carrying immense power and amplified by the power to shatter the heavens and collapse.

That's right. The once mighty Shattering Sky Collapse can now only be Ye Kang's ordinary punch, enhanced with added power and mystical effects, serving as a minor auxiliary means to increase his strength.

Each of his earth-shattering blows was steadily caught by the opponent's body-tempering technique, and then a terrifying force, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, poured into his arm.

The constant clash of flesh against flesh, the immense force rotating, left countless onlookers dumbfounded.

"This...this...is this even human?!"

"These two guys are body tempering fanatics! Body tempering martial artists are too outrageous!"

"If we were to go up there, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch. Is this the difference between Body Tempering Warriors and us...?"

Countless people felt a mix of emotions.

There's no way around it; everyone knows that body tempering martial artists have the highest potential, and physical training can crush everything.

But not everyone is qualified to undergo body tempering.

Talent, cultivation techniques, powerful elixirs, and countless resources are piled up like a bottomless pit in order to possibly become a true body-tempering martial artist.

The Ninth Prince's situation is understandable, given his noble status and the fact that he has no shortage of medicinal herbs and resources.

But what right does that kid who suddenly appeared have to do this?

Soon, they found out why.

Ye Kang gave Wu Jiuyuan a wicked smile, and suddenly his body emitted a red aura.

"Your Highness, you are not bad either."

Seeing this, Wu Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes, withdrew his fist and switched to a kick, spinning his body in place, his right leg slamming down towards Ye Kang's head like a steel whip.

With a loud bang, Ye Kang grabbed Wu Jiuyuan's leg with one hand and swung him around forcefully. The latter spun around in the air, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"You are a demon? No, you are no different from a human. Then you must have cultivated the Demon Body Refining Technique. No wonder."

Wu Jiuyuan made a quick judgment: in the Wu Dynasty, there was no distinction between the righteous path and the demonic path; as long as it was useful, it was a good path, and the demonic path was naturally the same.

There are very few demon body-refining techniques suitable for humans. Although some people practice them, none of them excel.

Ye Kang, however, was clearly different from the others.

At the entrance to the blessed land, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, then suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is! This kid actually cultivated such a powerful demonic body-refining technique. He's a true genius!"

"The path of demons is ultimately an unorthodox one. Even if there is hope of returning to the true self, it is extremely difficult to merge with the Dao. This kid has essentially cut off his own path to enlightenment."

"Prime Minister Ye is mistaken. How few people are at the Dao Integration level? Among so many people here, how many are at the Dao Integration level? If this kid can become the number one person below the Dao Integration level, then he will have succeeded."

Countless people began to discuss it, and even the Holy Emperor laughed heartily.

"That's exhilarating! To make Jiuyuan suffer a physical defeat, this child's future is limitless. Our Martial Dynasty is fortunate to have such a promising talent. Gentlemen, why don't we have a drink together?"

Everyone immediately raised their glasses in unison: "Congratulations to the Wu Dynasty! Congratulations to His Majesty!"

As they drank, Ye Kang completely ceased suppressing the demonic power within him. His blood and qi surged, his muscles bulged, and a crimson demonic aura swept across the heavens and earth.

Her long hair flowed freely, her clothes fluttered in the wind, and amidst the crimson aura, her heartbeat was like thunder.

At that moment, everyone present was in a daze.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a complete demon.

"So that's how it is. You weren't using your full strength all this time? I thought that the battle with that eighth-rank demon was my biggest gain, and I even broke through to the eighth rank with it. But now it seems that you are my true opportunity! Come, let's have a good fight!"

Wu Jiuyuan roared, his eyes now filled with intense fervor, devoid of any disdain.

To have such a rival among one's peers is truly a great fortune in life!

With a loud bang, the Ninth Prince's upper garment ripped open, his body suddenly grew taller, his veins bulged, and rings of golden runes emerged from his muscles.

The Martial Emperor's Body Tempering Divine Technique, Heavenly Martial Dragon Pattern Technique!

"Come and fight!"

With a roar, the dragon patterns all over Wu Jiuyuan's body shone brightly, and the surge in his physical strength turned his eyes into golden dragon pupils.

The punch came with a force far exceeding that of the previous ones!

Golden light shone brightly in the sky, and the ultimate power of the kingship poured down, like a storm of stars, destroying everything in its path.

Faced with a punch that was almost the ultimate physical strength of the Nirvana Realm, Ye Kang revealed a smile.

"What a fine Wu Jiuyuan! What a body-tempering martial artist!"

He shouted twice, finally unsealing all the power of his physical body. All the demonic body-refining techniques surged, and the Immortal Demon Diagrams shone with dazzling brilliance. The power contained in dozens of diagrams was fully amplified on his body.

At this moment, it seemed as if countless ancient beasts appeared behind Ye Kang. This punch was the ultimate manifestation of all the beasts coming together.

"Overlord Whale Divine Fist!"

That's right, Ye Kang used the Tyrant Whale Divine Fist, which he hadn't used in a long time.

Although he had only mastered three hundred levels of the fist technique, this simple and brutal body-tempering martial art was inherently stronger when facing stronger opponents, and its upper limit depended entirely on the strength of the person throwing the punch.

In other words, the Tyrant Whale Fist is merely a way of using force; the power of the fist is no longer important to Ye Kang at this moment.

With a deafening roar, Ye Kang unleashed a massive white whale with a single punch. The entire sky seemed to transform into an ocean where whales roamed, as waves of energy from the punch exploded forth, unleashing three hundred layers of fist power in an instant.

And that’s not all!

Ye Kang's eyes were firm, and his unwavering momentum actually fueled the growth of his fist technique.

At this moment, even without actively comprehending the technique, Ye Kang's fist power continued to accumulate.

Four hundred floors! Five hundred floors! Eight hundred floors!

The power isn't over yet!

One thousand floors! One thousand five hundred floors!

Two thousand floors! Three thousand floors!

That's right, it's a tenfold increase. Ye Kang's punch unleashed three thousand layers of fist power, with the illusory image of the Tyrant Whale occupying the sky and echoing the golden dragon behind Wu Jiuyuan.

The two colossal beasts roared at each other, each wanting to devour the other.

As the saying goes, "Kings don't meet," so since we've met, we must settle the score!

In an instant, the two fists clashed, creating a deafening explosion that sent shockwaves through the air. Luo Xue, standing below, turned pale and was forced to retreat continuously due to the impact. Even Pang Jinchui was struggling to withstand the force and had to step back.

Without a doubt, the battle between these two has surpassed that of all Nirvana Realm warriors.

Then, the giant whale phantom roared and rolled, and with the superposition of its fists, Ye Kang's shirt was completely blown open, his muscles bulged out, his true energy condensed into substance, and his physical strength turned into countless steam.

Wu Jiuyuan went even crazier, his long hair flying wildly, veins practically bulging out of his muscles, and his expression twisted beyond recognition.

At this moment, both of them gave it their all. Not only Wu Jiuyuan, but this was also the most exhilarating battle Ye Kang had experienced since entering the Nirvana Realm.

In some mysterious way, their martial arts seemed to be touched.

Finally, as the deafening roar subsided, the force of the punches was gradually worn away, and the giant dragon shattered piece by piece.

Ultimately, Ye Kang's combined punches were more powerful, and at the last moment, he completely shattered Wu Jiuyuan's Heavenly Martial Dragon Pattern Technique.

The latter spat out a mouthful of blood essence, his body flew backward, his eyes rolled back, and all his strength seemed to have been drained away.

He crashed heavily onto the grass, his muscles still bulging, but he couldn't even move a finger.

His right arm, in particular, was directly hit by the force of the punch and was broken into pieces.

Fortunately, for martial artists who have already completed Nirvana, this level of physical injury is just a minor injury that can be recovered from quickly.

At this moment, the entire venue was shaken, and both inside and outside the blessed land fell into silence.

The Ninth Prince has lost!

It's still in his most prized area: body tempering!

how can that be!

"Just who is this kid?!"

"Ye Kang, what a fine Ye Kang! This is truly a prodigy of the Martial Dynasty!"

Soon, countless people exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Yueqing raised her head high, unable to suppress her smile.

He wanted nothing more than to jump up and shout: "These are the geniuses of Wuyang City! Do you admire them or not!"

Of course, many people also secretly glanced at the Holy Emperor.

After all, the loser was a prince, and he even used the Heavenly Martial Dragon Pattern Technique inherited from the Martial Emperor, yet he still couldn't win. It's unknown what the Holy Emperor will think.

However, the Holy Emperor was not displeased at all; on the contrary, his eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.

"What a fine Ye Kang! What a pleasant surprise! Such combat prowess deserves to be recognized as a hero of our Martial Dynasty and richly rewarded!"

Many people were stunned by these words.

Ye Xiang went even further, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. Tianjiao should naturally be rewarded, but he is only a student of the academy and has no official position. It may not be appropriate to reward him too heavily at this time."

The Emperor thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's true. After all, he hasn't made any real contributions, so giving him too much wouldn't be good for him. Let Prime Minister Ye and the heads of the six ministries discuss this carefully again, and I will personally give him some harmless rewards. What does Prime Minister Ye think?"

"Excellent, thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Everyone bowed and thanked him at the same time. Although it had nothing to do with them, the Holy Emperor was happy, so they just followed suit and thanked him.

Meanwhile, inside the blessed land.

Ye Kang was also pale, his blood and energy were at least half depleted, his arm was in excruciating pain, and his internal energy was disordered.

But he was still able to fly to Wu Jiuyuan's side and cup his hands in greeting.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I have learned a lot from this battle and have vaguely touched the threshold of the seventh level."

After that sentence, everyone was speechless.

Wu Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then lay back on the grass and laughed loudly at the sky.

Yes, he's only at the peak of the sixth level.

Not only did I lose, but I was also defeated by an underdog, a complete and utter defeat...

“I am exhausted, but I cannot give you the Fortune Pearl. You can take these marks on my arm.”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ye Kang wasn't being pretentious. Although they appreciated each other, spoils of war were spoils of war.

He immediately reached out and snatched all of Wu Jiuyuan's marks with a single palm strike.

There are a full five hundred!

That's an astronomical figure; this guy must have been killing demons to get so much.

Just then, a round of applause broke out.

“Amazing! I thought the Ninth Prince would be the winner, and that you would use those formations to weaken him. But it seems I was completely wrong; you are the one who has been hiding the deepest secrets.”

Ye Kang looked back and saw that Kou Wuji had appeared on the hillside behind him at some point, dressed in black with a harmless smile on his face.

Seeing this, Wu Jiuyuan sighed helplessly.

"I knew it. This guy had no good intentions from the beginning. He was trying to provoke my anger towards you so he could reap the benefits. But I was too arrogant and didn't care at all. Ye Kang, you'd better watch yourself. I'll be waiting for you outside. We can have a drink together sometime."

After saying that, he used his remaining true energy to crush the jade talisman, thus voluntarily exiting the game.

Kou Wuji clapped his hands again: "They are all heroes, I envy them. It's a pity I can't become such a great hero, I can only resort to some schemes and tricks."

He shook his head seemingly regretfully, but then a smirk appeared on his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "However, I like this feeling."

After he finished speaking, more than twenty auras rose from all directions.

They had all used some kind of secret concealment technique to hide in the distance.
