Chapter 2281: Chapter 2279: Can Ye Tianchen Succeed?

[Here’s the second update for today. I cherish each reader who supports the "Meticulous" novel, I truly love you all!]

East State!

Unexpectedly, there is such a thunderstorm world here, perpetually in a state of thunder and lightning, never ceasing. Why is this? No one knows. It’s as if ever since the formation of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, this place has existed, but few people know about it. Even if they do, hardly anyone dares to come here!

Ye Tianchen manipulated the "Holy Heaven Prison," and brought along Princess Zi Xuan, and the two of them came to this place. When they arrived, Princess Zi Xuan was startled; it was her first time here and even the first time knowing such a place existed!

"It’s my first time knowing there’s such a place in East State, how did you find out about it?" Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but look at Ye Tianchen and ask.

Princess Zi Xuan’s confusion was certainly understandable. She grew up in the Barbaric Forbidden Land, and whether it was the East State, West State, Northern State, or Southern State, she had been to almost all of the Four Great States. Even if she hadn’t been there, she knew a bit about them. It was her first time hearing of such a thunderstorm world in East State, and Ye Tianchen was a newcomer to the Barbaric Forbidden Land!

"Well, I sensed it accidentally when we left East State together. Maybe here is where we might stand a chance to kill this old guy!" Ye Tianchen replied, looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

"But the power of thunder and lightning here is very strong. Without the protection of Chaos Qi, if we go outside..." Princess Zi Xuan worriedly said.

"You stay here, I’ll take care of everything. Take care of yourself!" Ye Tianchen smiled and said.

Before Princess Zi Xuan could react, Ye Tianchen walked toward the outside of the Holy Heaven Prison, startling Princess Zi Xuan. The outside was a world of pure thunder and lightning, where everything had been turned to dust. Even the remaining mountains and rivers had been infected with powerful thunder power. A slight touch could turn one into powder, resulting in a total annihilation of one’s form and spirit. The human flesh was difficult to resist the power of thunder because, in the Martial Arts World, thunder power is one of the most powerful slaughter forces!

When the Martial Arts World was born, thunder power appeared in this world, a force capable of destroying everything. Martial artists pursue power in their cultivation, regardless of its form. As long as it’s a powerful force, it’s coveted by martial artists, and thunder power is no exception. However, countless martial artists have attempted to harness thunder power, only to meet complete obliteration. Moreover, when martial artists reach a certain Cultivation Realm, they encounter the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation, a death-defying challenge. Failure almost always results in the scattering of souls, so gradually, fewer martial artists dare to risk their lives to control thunder power!

Swoosh!

The Fifth Elder of Northern State rushed into this thunder world, coldly observing the Holy Heaven Prison suspended within the thunder, floating like a Magic Cube Cage, without moving forward. This made the Fifth Elder frown, unsure of what Ye Tianchen intended to do!

Crash!

Chaos Qi dispersed, revealing a figure walking out from beneath the Holy Heaven Prison. It was Ye Tianchen. He walked directly under the falling thunder and smiled at the Fifth Elder of Northern State, saying, "This is a good place; a slight mistake and you’ll be turned into a canopy of Blood Mist by the descending thunder power. I think it’s suitable for a battle here!"

"Humph, do you think you have a chance here? That you can restrain my combat power?" The Fifth Elder of Northern State sneered disdainfully.

"Perhaps. Haven’t you noticed you’re using Martial Arts True Qi to protect yourself, and I am not? Under this thunder power, I can move freely without needing to divert my focus or split my strength to withstand this thunder power!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

"I admit, your physical body power is indeed strong, not something I can compare with, but mere physical strength surely can’t be the most formidable. Otherwise, why would there be so few martial artists in the Martial Arts World who specialize in cultivating physical body power?" The Fifth Elder of Northern State laughed disdainfully.

"That’s where you’re mistaken. I’ll show you that strong physical power can indeed destroy heaven and earth!" Ye Tianchen confidently looked at the Fifth Elder and said.

"Then you can go die, here where you’ll die cleanly!" The Fifth Elder’s expression turned fierce, and he struck at Ye Tianchen with a palm!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen certainly wouldn’t show weakness, nor would he sit idly by and await his doom. He struck a solid punch towards the Northern State’s Fifth Elder’s palm power, and when the punch and the palm collided, it surprisingly showed signs of a draw, startling the Northern State’s Fifth Elder. He couldn’t believe that Ye Tianchen could actually draw with him. Was this still the kind of disparity in power just a moment ago?

"Could it be that this thunder realm really is diminishing my combat strength? Then why does this brat seem completely unaffected and even stronger?" The Northern State’s Fifth Elder frowned at Ye Tianchen, unable to help but ponder.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen immediately took a step forward, without saying a word, he launched a punch towards the Northern State’s Fifth Elder, the powerful punch breaking through the thunder power and reaching the Northern State’s Fifth Elder, who was startled and blocked it casually. Although he blocked the punch, the Northern State’s Fifth Elder was forced back a few steps, making him feel uncomfortable, as if he had been slapped in the face!

It’s important to know that the Northern State’s Fifth Elder is a strong figure among the older generation in the Northern State territory. Compared to Northern State’s First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder, he is much stronger. Excluding the three strongest martial artists in the Northern State territory—Elder Sanxu, Sang Qing, and Northern Tyrant—the Northern State’s Fifth Elder is considered the most formidable among the older generation of martial artists!

All along, Northern State’s Fifth Elder had been in pursuit, attacking Ye Tianchen and the Princess Zi Xuan, while the two being pursued only had the option to flee for their lives. Who would have thought that upon reaching a thunder realm, Ye Tianchen would feel a reverse in fortune, as if he was going to turn the tables on the Northern State’s Fifth Elder? This disparity was indeed hard for the Northern State’s Fifth Elder to accept!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Unexpectedly, before the Northern State’s Fifth Elder could figure it out, a series of murderous punches were coming towards him, startling the Northern State’s Fifth Elder to frown, as his eyes showed strong killing intent. He immediately pulled the Saint Bow in his hand, condensing the Murder Arrow!

Swoosh!

An arrow energy shot towards the punches, instantly shattering them all, restoring some of Northern State’s Fifth Elder’s confidence. With this Saint Treasure in hand, there was an invincible feeling!

Ye Tianchen glanced at Northern State’s Fifth Elder and then at the Saint Treasure in his hand, frowning because when that arrow energy was shot, Ye Tianchen was astonished. The arrow not only destroyed Ye Tianchen’s punch power but also turned the thunder power to ashes wherever it passed, showing how powerful the Saint Treasure was!

"Hmph, ant, even if your physical body power is strong and has a unique advantage here, I have the Saint Treasure in my hand. No matter how strong you are, you cannot withstand the power of slaughter from the Saint Treasure. All your attacks are futile against me!" The Northern State’s Fifth Elder sneered disdainfully.

"Hehe, you really know how to come up with excuses and think you are quite capable. From the start, I was pursued by you, but now I can fight you to a draw. You still have these words to comfort yourself, your face must be pretty thick!" Ye Tianchen said with a mocking smile.

"You little bastard, watch me annihilate you completely, so you can never be stubborn again!" The Northern State’s Fifth Elder trembled with anger, hit in a sore spot by Ye Tianchen, and immediately bent the bow for a shot, a powerful arrow energy directly shooting towards Ye Tianchen.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen dodged to the side, despite the powerful arrow energy of the Saint Treasure, but in this thunder realm, it seemed not so rampant, getting dodged by Ye Tianchen. The arrow energy did not penetrate the realm, being submerged by the ocean of thunder, which surprised the Northern State’s Fifth Elder. The power of this thunder realm was truly astounding, it could even shatter something as strong as the Saint Treasure’s power of slaughter, proving that the power of the thunder realm was indeed remarkable and inherently mysterious!

"Even though your Saint Treasure is powerful, and the power of slaughter is strong enough, in this thunder realm, I don’t need to be disturbed. I can freely perform Qi Manipulation Flight. As long as I dodge the power of your Saint Treasure, you can’t do anything to me. But you still need to distract yourself to protect against the thunder powers. Am I right?" Ye Tianchen calmly looked at the Northern State’s Fifth Elder with a smile.

The Northern State’s Fifth Elder glanced at Ye Tianchen, with a touch of cruelty in his eyes, as he gathered an arrow light with his right hand, placed it on the bow in his left hand, and slowly began to pull the bowstring to shoot...
