My Ares Son-in-Law

"Since that's the case, let's go straight to the Divine Power Realm today!"

A long howl shook the beams and pillars, and a powerful shockwave surged through the interior. The entire villa began to shake violently, and the dignitaries living inside rushed out of the doors. A piercing alarm blared throughout the estate, security guards struggled to maintain order, and the developer urgently activated its emergency response plan.

Strangely, the tremors were confined to the villa area, leaving the surrounding streets unaffected. Reporters who rushed to the scene surrounded the villa, and just as everyone was preparing to report on this bizarre event, the tremors abruptly stopped.

In the quiet room on the top floor, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, the swirling purple aura around him gradually receding. Feeling the surging divine energy within him, he clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "Divine Power Realm! I actually broke through! Now, even if I encounter that Prison Clan member hiding inside Situ Xiong's body, I can win!"

He had thought cultivation would be difficult in this Dharma-ending Age, but unexpectedly, he had broken through several realms in a short period of time. Suddenly remembering something, he took out his personal Immortal Abode and focused his mind on sensing it. In the Soul Tower, although the memorial tablet of the Heavenly King Mo Lishou had disappeared, another memorial tablet next to it was emitting a faint light. Although the writing was still blurred, the vast and ancient aura stirred his mind.

Moreover, this aura is somewhat similar to that of Mo Lishou, so there is a high probability that they are related.

To his even greater surprise, he has actually obtained a "Martial Soul".

He had only ever seen this kind of thing in novels, but now it actually accompanied his body and could be controlled freely. With a thought, he could control it at will.

Moreover, since his Martial Soul Thorns is plant-based, it can continuously perform photosynthesis to enhance his cultivation level, making his cultivation path much easier.

Just then, his phone rang urgently in his pocket. Seeing the caller ID "Yun Yuyan," Xiao Chen realized with a start that today was the birthday banquet of the Zhou family's daughter.

"Where are you now?" the voice on the other end of the phone asked anxiously.

"A villa."

"Why are you still at the villa? Didn't you feel the localized earthquake there just now?"

"An earthquake?" Xiao Chen looked at the mess in the quiet room, his expression unchanged. "I was practicing my martial arts the whole time and didn't notice anything."

Yun Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, then chided, "Since there's nothing else, why aren't you coming to Wangjiang Pavilion? Keying's birthday banquet is about to start, and they're just missing you, their distinguished guest. They've been looking out the door the whole time!"

Xiao Chen hung up the phone, changed into the prepared dark suit, and put the gift box containing the present into his pocket. Before leaving, he glanced at the cracked wall, and with a flow of divine energy at his fingertips, all the cracks healed completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, at an underground base in the western region.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Zhuang Yuan unconsciously tapped his fingertips on the mahogany table: "You said Xiao Chen killed three Celestial Realm experts in succession? Even Situ Xiong couldn't escape?"

Huang Tian solemnly presented the video footage: "The first two were indeed crushed to death, but there are many suspicious points surrounding Situ Xiong's death. At the time, the arena was shrouded in black mist, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. By the time everything cleared up, the battle was already over."

A sudden clap of thunder sounded outside the window, followed by a torrential downpour. Zhuang Yuan paced to the observation window, gazing at the city skyline shrouded in rain, and murmured, "This Xiao Chen is probably more dangerous than we imagined."

"Should we start our plan?" Huang Tian asked softly.

"Let's observe for now," Zhuang Yuan shook his head, "but we need to place hidden pieces around him. Remember, these are living pieces, but they shouldn't interfere with his life. You can't afford to offend this kind of person."

The sound of raindrops hitting the bulletproof glass grew louder and louder, as if playing the prelude to the approaching storm.

Huang Tian chuckled inwardly; that was the former God of War. Although the era of martial arts was becoming increasingly profound and there were more and more experts, the God of War was still the God of War, and he could still crush everyone in this new era.

A thousand miles away in the sacred Zhongnan Mountains, a woman in white, playing the zither, suddenly snapped a string. A disciple standing nearby asked, "Master, has something happened?"

The woman looked towards the western region, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Yang Nantian's life lamp has gone out. Inform all elders to close the mountain gate immediately."

In a secret base somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, the silver-haired commander looked at the energy map transmitted by satellite and smiled knowingly: "An interesting variable has finally appeared in the Eastern cultivation world. Have our people infiltrate quickly; I need all the information on this Xiao Chen."

Just as undercurrents were swirling among various forces, Xiao Chen was walking on the bluestone path in front of Wangjiang Pavilion, holding an umbrella. Raindrops slid off automatically three inches away from him, leaving his shoes and socks completely dry.

……

"That black mist must have been created by Situ Xiong. There's probably the Prison Clan behind that guy!"

Huang Tian suddenly spoke.

This was something Xiao Chen deliberately had Huang Tian tell Zhuang Yuan: dealing with the Prison Clan couldn't be done by him alone; he needed someone's help.

Even if these people have very little energy, when accumulated, it becomes an extremely powerful force.

Moreover, in the age of martial arts, humanity has been constantly progressing and developing, and it is entirely possible that a powerful figure who can help him will emerge in the future.

"How did you know?"

Zhuang Yuan asked curiously.

Huang Tian smiled and said, "Although the black mist can block most devices, don't forget what our Yama Palace is for. Li Can, go and get the surveillance footage I asked you to restore."

"Yes!"

As the head of the Yama Palace in the Western Region, Li Can was directly under the command of Huang Tian and was a very capable person.

Soon, Li Can recovered the video and brought it here, plugging it into the computer to play it.

The scenes unfolding on the life-or-death stage were clearly displayed on the screen. At first, the two men's expressions were relatively calm, but when they saw Xiao Chen shatter the bluestone ground with one foot and lightly blast Situ Xiong into a bloody mist with a palm strike, they couldn't help but gasp.

"How is this possible!" Li Can's voice trembled uncontrollably.

This is beyond their understanding of martial arts realms! Only a peerless expert ranked 50th on the World's Grandmasters List could achieve this level! But Xiao Chen is not even twenty years old! Those seniors on the list are all veteran experts who have cultivated for decades!
Just as they thought the scene was about to end, an even more shocking scene unfolded. Xiao Chen used his finger as a brush to draw a profound rune in the air, which condensed into a three-foot-long sword aura of ice and fire. That sword aura shot through the air, instantly traversing a thousand meters and killing a scout from the New Martial Arts Association who was watching from afar!

The two men stared wide-eyed, their breath catching in their throats. Zhuang Yuan, the governor of the western region and arguably the strongest martial artist in the region, had his back soaked with cold sweat. He knew perfectly well that even using all his trump cards, he had absolutely no chance of blocking this earth-shattering sword strike!
This can no longer be simply described as genius; it's downright defying the heavens!

Zhuang Yuan quickly unplugged the reading device and completely erased all the data. Even after doing this, he was still not satisfied and turned to Li Can: "Erase the copied data as well. This stuff can't be sent out carelessly!" (End of Chapter)
