Chapter 994 - 993: The Great Battle Begins!
"Ye Qingchen!"
At this moment.
Surrounding cries rose like waves crashing against mountains.
Everyone was not only surprised that Ye Qingchen dared to come to Taotian Palace alone, but also surprised at his age. However, his full head of black hair left many slightly puzzled.
"Isn't Ye Qingchen known as the silver-haired demon?"
"Ah, I see!"
The Absolute God from Vajra Temple swept his gaze over the relic Buddhist beads in Ye Qingchen's hand and immediately understood.
Besides possessing the ability to break yin and dispel evil, the relic contains the vitality of celestial immortal powerhouses.
'It's said that this demon, having once practiced demonic arts, exhausted his vitality and thus turned his hair white! Now, the relic beads have all fallen into his hands, restoring his vitality!'
"Ye Qingchen!"
Tuoba Ye and others stared in disbelief at Ye Qingchen.
They never expected that Ye Qingchen would actually dare to break into Taotian Palace alone! Especially the way he wielded world-shaking power, rode clouds, and controlled thunder and lightning, leaving them utterly shocked.
At this moment.
The Earth Immortals inside and outside of heaven were also frightened by this scene.
"Tsk, this young man has extraordinary skills, far beyond our capabilities!"
Especially the Human Immortals, who were dumbstruck.
They never imagined that Ye Qingchen would descend on Taotian Palace with such presence!
Boom!
Amidst everyone's astonishment.
The dark clouds finally arrived.
They covered the sky, accompanied by stormy winds and rain. The shining fierce lightning constantly shuttled through the clouds, illuminating the whole world intermittently. Everywhere it passed, whether flowers, grass, trees, or pavilions and towers, turned into dust in the wind.
"Retreat!"
The onlookers had to keep retreating.
They even retreated hundreds of feet back before feeling somewhat safe. As they turned their heads, they saw Ye Qingchen standing atop dark clouds, pressing down upon the sky above Taotian Palace!
Only Earth Immortal powerhouses could stay put and witness this battle with their own eyes!
"Ye Qingchen…!"
At this time.
Su Moran slowly came to her senses, no longer elegant as before. Pale-faced, her body was almost entirely broken, soaked in blood that continuously dripped down.
She struggled to open her eyes, bitterly saying,
"You shouldn't have come!"
"How could I not come!"
Ye Qingchen stood at the head of the cloud, his face calm, without joy or sorrow, quietly watching the woman suspended in the virtual space.
She was once so modest and elegant, so coldly arrogant. Whenever he saw her, she would sit at the pavilion of Mist Rain, quietly looking into the distance, extraordinarily out of this world!
She was known as Taotian Palace's First Earth Immortal, her strength and cultivation far surpassing any Supreme Elder!
Yet now, she looked as if she were at the end of her life, stepping into the threshold of life and death.
Originally.
Ye Qingchen thought he and Su Moran were merely distant friends. But seeing this state of hers today, the softest part of his heart was utterly moved.
A surging anger rose fiercely from his heart!
"Cut!"
He clenched his right hand, and a crisp sword sound rang out. Countless whirlwinds converged rapidly in his hand, transforming into a heaven-shocking sword rainbow, slashing towards two chains.
"Clang!"
A burst of sparks flew.
A strike capable of splitting heaven and earth failed to break the chains, leaving only a shallow sword mark!
"What's going on?"
Ye Qingchen's pupils constricted.
At this moment.
The man sitting at the head of the table, in a wide-sleeved robe, finally stood up: sturdy, sword-browed and star-eyed.
It was Taotian Palace's Sect Leader, Yu Hongqing!
"These chains are called Immortal Rope, forged from extraordinary copper and iron by the eleventh generation ancestor of Taotian Palace. They are an Immortal Rank Top-grade Magical Treasure, capable of restraining even Celestial Immortals!"
Yu Hongqing laughed wildly, a thunderous sound of heaven and earth fire erupting within him.
The terrifying sound echoed through the heavens and earth like waves sweeping away all at the same time, shocking everyone in the scene, who covered their ears, teetering. Under their shocked gaze, Yu Hongqing slowly restrained his laughter and said solemnly,
"Ye Qingchen, I've been waiting here for you for three months. Never thought you would truly dare come!"
"Yu Hongqing?" On the cloud, Ye Qingchen slightly bowed his head, his gaze falling on him, with a gleam of azure light in his eyes: "I came to kill you!"
After speaking, he had already taken a step forward, landing in the void.
Boom!
Instantly, the dark clouds beneath him turned into a huge angry sea at this moment. Under the gazes of countless shocked eyes, Ye Qingchen's entire being was already shooting like an angry arrow with a storm of dark clouds.
This long black cloud wave, like a furious dragon fighting its way out of the abyss, beautifully fierce and imposing, targeted the high platform where Yu Hongqing and others stood!
As if at this moment, he wanted to swallow Yu Hongqing, the seven Supreme Elders, and the Thirty-Six Sects' Supreme Elders all at once!
"Impudent!"
A shout abruptly sounded.
Whoosh!
In an instant, many elders and disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall had already soared into the air, rushing towards Ye Qingchen!
In the air, the endless attacks spread, seemingly covering the sky and the sun to the utmost extent.
But how powerful was Ye Qingchen?
Even a Three-star Elder, a seventh-layer Earth Immortal powerhouse, could be killed by him with ease.
"Hua-la!"
Where the cloud waves passed, the overwhelming attack was almost instantly torn apart. Those disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall who rushed towards him were shredded in the air.
Ye Qingchen crushed them and continued advancing towards Yu Hongqing and others, unstoppable!
"Hah!"
But at this moment, dozens of figures had already leaped out of the void.
Of the Thirty-Six Sects.
Could Taotian Palace lack Three-star Elders?
Boom!
At the sight of twenty-eight figures, each burst with vigorous True Qi, as they appeared, they seemed like mirrors. Whether stepping out to the sky, forming hand-seals, or finally pointing in the air, their movements were almost identical.
As if the same person was making a move!
"Roar!"
A celestial dragon's roar suddenly rang out.
In the rolling Spiritual Qi, a gigantic Spiritual Qi dragon shot out. This Spiritual Qi dragon, enormous in size, was formed by the surging True Qi of twenty-eight Three-star Elders.
Its dragon horns were elegant, its dragon scales heavy, its dragon teeth sharp; formed in an instant, it spanned the heavens and earth, roaring through the sky, directly charging towards Ye Qingchen!
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound suddenly resonated.
In an instant.
A gust of wind swept over all directions, countless palaces, trees, and giant rocks were torn into dust under its fierce wind. Amid the shocked gazes, both sides' attacks vanished at the same time.
The many Earth Immortals watching were utterly indifferent.
Even though Ye Qingchen raised his hand to strike, requiring twenty-eight Three-star Elders to join forces merely to block it, this was only a small corner of Taotian Palace's power.
The seven Supreme Elders hadn't even made their move yet!
"Again!"
At this moment.
The elders' assaults restarted, their robes billowing, gathering immense momentum. The vast heavens and earth were shaken by this. Fearsome Spiritual Qi took the form of a Heaven-shocking Fury Dragon, swiftly slicing through the void, charging towards Ye Qingchen once more!
Boom!
The dragon swept through, shaking the heavens and earth.
This time.
Even Ye Qingchen's face couldn't help but show signs of seriousness, his right hand lightly grasped.
"Star Sword!"
