Huangfu Yu had guessed correctly. More than nine months ago, Ye Chen had already attained Quasi-Emperor strength. By then, he had raised White Dragon Obliteration, Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire, Blazing Flames Consume Spring, Autumn's Slaughter, and Myriad Splendors Claim Life to the level of second-turn limit Martial Arts.

Its power was terrifying, possessing the might to destroy the world across a small area.

He knew that with his strength at the time, he would only be a middling Quasi-Emperor upon entering the Advanced Hunting Grounds. If he encountered a formidable enemy, he would have no
