Chapter 594 - 597: Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer!
This young man.
He withstood a strike from the Celestial Venerable Fifth Stage Peak unscathed!
What a terrifying and formidable strength this is!
This was something no one expected. In everyone’s hearts, with a gap of two realms between them, the moment Zhao Qian attacked, it should have been an absolute overwhelming force, leaving Ye Qingchen no chance to turn the tables.
But in reality, it exceeded all of their expectations.
"Snap!"
Zhao Mo’s expression changed dramatically, retreating several steps in disbelief as he looked at Ye Qingchen. He already regretted provoking this young man. His opponent’s strength was stronger and more terrifying than he had imagined!
"How is this possible?"
Of course.
The most shocked was naturally Zhao Qian.
He felt like his punch just hit a mountain made of thousands of tons of copper, without any reaction. The powerful rebounding force felt like it was shattering his bones!
"I already said, Celestial Venerable Fifth Stage can’t do anything to me!"
Ye Qingchen said calmly.
When he said this earlier, everyone thought he was arrogant and ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. But now, they understood he truly possessed such strength!
With such a presence to hold everything in disdain!
"But now, it’s my turn!"
Zhao Qian had not yet recovered from the shock when suddenly he heard Ye Qingchen speak. At this moment, he only felt an unprecedented sense of death sweeping over him.
In an instant, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with all his hair standing on end!
"Not good!"
Without any hesitation, he suddenly exclaimed and swiftly retreated backward.
But at this moment.
Ye Qingchen had already punched fiercely, striking directly in front of Zhao Qian!
"Stop!"
A heaven-shaking roar suddenly came from the void on one side.
It was clear.
This was Zhao Qian’s guard, who saw the situation and tried to intervene.
But Ye Qingchen paid no mind, instead increasing the speed of his punch several times over.
This punch exceeded Zhao Qian’s reaction time, he only had time to cross his arms in front of his chest before Ye Qingchen’s blow scattered them apart. The immense force of the punch directly struck Zhao Qian’s chest!
With this punch, heaven and earth changed color.
Powerful Qi surged and poured relentlessly into Zhao Qian’s body!
"Boom!"
A sound reverberated.
Zhao Qian’s whole body shivered violently, with blood flowing backward from this punch, shooting out from his back. His body flew backward across several hundred meters of sky, dead before hitting the ground!
The audience was silent.
Withstanding the full force of a Celestial Venerable Fifth Stage strike unscathed. Yet with a casual punch, he killed a Celestial Venerable Fifth Stage on the spot!
What kind of monster is this!
Everyone was dumbstruck!
Unable to believe it.
"A calamity! A huge calamity!"
The Sea of Zhou trembled with fear in his heart.
Counting Zhang Yucheng and Shi Yiming previously, adding Zhao Qian now. Ye Qingchen had already killed six prodigies in total, if they were ordinary people it wouldn’t matter.
But these six, each one of them, were the sons of a city, with powerful backgrounds.
Yet Ye Qingchen showed no mercy, killing them all! He’s stirred up a huge trouble!
The people by the river were also stunned.
Although.
In the past, many prodigies fell in the Taotian Palace selection. But it was only limited to those who just reached Celestial stages!
But now, the selection hasn’t started yet.
Six have already fallen, including a Celestial Venerable Fifth Stage prodigy!
This is an unprecedented major event!
At this moment.
An overwhelming aura descended in an instant. The crowd looked up to see Zhao Lingxiao’s furious expression as he fixed his gaze upon Ye Qingchen, his intent to kill rising sharply:
"You little bastard, you have guts beyond reason, daring to kill my family’s Young Master!"
Zhao Lingxiao was shocked and angry.
That was the eldest son of the City Lord of Xuanjian, and he just died, inexplicably. He didn’t dare imagine what kind of wrath he would face upon returning to Xuanjian City.
At that moment, he had only one thought, to cut Ye Qingchen into thousands of pieces to quell the hatred in his heart!
"He brought it on himself, so what if he’s killed?"
Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his right hand.
"Good! Good! Good!" Zhao Lingxiao yelled, his fury making him tremble, swirling an enormous aura, revealing himself as a Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer expert. "Let’s see how I’ll crush you into ashes today!"
"Count me in!"
Zhang Wenjie stepped forward.
He had wanted to act long ago but was stopped by others. Now he finally found an opportunity!
Boom!
As he spoke.
His aura also surged wildly, bursting out with turmoil. He was also a Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer power!
"Count us in!"
"Ye Qingchen, did you think you could escape after killing our Young Master?"
"Give your life!"
Amidst successive roars.
Several figures suddenly descended from the void. They were the guards of Zhao Qian, Gong Wenqing, Yun Feng, and others. Their eyes were filled with shock and anger as they looked at Ye Qingchen.
Generally, no one would be so daring.
After knowing Zhao Qian’s identity, most avoided any contact, let alone dared to deal deadly blows. Otherwise, with such rampant behavior, in a realm like Kunlun full of powerful beings, someone should have taught them a lesson long ago!
But now.
Yet this young man obliterated them all without leaving any behind!
"Celestial Cloud City! Profound Sword City! Black Stone City! Thunderstorm City! Bright Moon City! Haoran City!"
Experts from the six large cities stood in the void, some with cold expressions, others with furious faces, some drenched in a killing aura.
The cultivation of the Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer poured down without reservation.
Everyone in the crowd felt suffocated.
"So what if it’s the Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer?"
"Bring it on!"
Ye Qingchen said calmly.
"You don’t know life from death!"
Zhao Lingxiao shouted angrily and directly made a move.
Boom!
He stepped forward, his whole body like a meteor, and flipped his right hand, descending swiftly from the heavens, sweeping towards Ye Qingchen. Even before the palm fell, the terrifying palm wind had already swept down, covering the sky!
The people by the river, those with lower cultivation, were directly crushed to their knees by this palm, all of them shocked.
As a guard, Zhao Lingxiao’s talent may not be high, but he had been cultivating longer than Zhao Qian, his aura was more profound, and his True Qi more vast—how could Zhao Qian and the others compare?
"Get out of the way!"
Ye Qingchen shouted loudly, his whole body’s Qi Blood surged wildly, his eyes gleamed fiercely. He boldly charged up, swinging a punch towards the sky, like a rainbow piercing the sun, directly targeting Zhao Lingxiao’s strike!
Boom!
Under countless shocked gazes, the attacks of both sides clashed fiercely.
Instantly.
A heaven-shocking loud noise suddenly erupted.
The terrifying Powerful Qi exploded between the two, sweeping across the entire riverside. Countless trees and mountain rocks by the riverside were all shredded. The gathered geniuses were directly blown away by the violent wind.
Even the beasts in the river let out cries of terror, scattering in all directions.
"Bang!"
After all, with a difference of four realms in cultivation, Ye Qingchen was a bit lacking, and was violently knocked back, his body crashing onto the riverside, creating a huge pit in the ground.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wenjie on the side narrowed his eyes, waved his right hand, and a surge of powerful Qi poured down like a raging dragon, sweeping across the void, directly plunging towards Ye Qingchen!
"Good timing!"
Ye Qingchen shouted lightly.
Facing Zhang Wenjie’s Lingkong palm, he showed no fear, suddenly clenched his hand into a fist, and struck again!
"Boom!"
A shattering sound rang out.
Ye Qingchen shattered the Power, but the opponent’s cultivation was higher after all; the remaining force swept towards him, blasting onto his body. It made his body tremble, his face flushed red, and he took several steps back to stabilize his stance.
"Still not dead?"
Shi Fukuang from Bright Moon City expressed shock, evidently surprised that Ye Qingchen could still be alive and kicking after taking hits from two Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer powerhouses.
But immediately, his gaze chilled, grasping the void with his right hand, a spear formed of Spiritual Qi instantly took shape in his hand, and he hurled it fiercely. The spear grew in size against the wind, transforming into a hundred zhang long, like a violent dragon sweeping through!
"Slash!"
Ye Qingchen’s gaze sharpened, abruptly grasping into the sky, bringing forth a streak of sword light.
Clang!
A fierce sword cry was heard.
A dazzling sword light swept out, directly targeting the spear!
"Boom!"
An even more terrifying sound than before suddenly erupted.
It was as if two mountain peaks recklessly crashed into each other, the terrifying Qi dissipating in all directions!
"Woo!"
Ye Qingchen could no longer withstand it first, letting out a muffled grunt, his body retreated explosively, his feet dragging a deep trench along the ground for hundreds of zhang!
"Again!"
Before Ye Qingchen could catch a breath, another Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer powerhouse shouted coldly, striking angrily!
Ye Qingchen retreated again!
"Again!"
"Again!"
"Again!"
Angry shouts echoed.
The crowd saw.
Every time these people struck, Ye Qingchen would be violently knocked back. In just a short moment, he had been forced back to the riverside, with the raging waters churning behind him!
At this moment, he could retreat no further!
"It seems it’s about to end!"
Until now.
Zhao Mo showed a trace of a smile.
Everyone present, some with reluctance on their faces, some full of regret. This young man, with merely the Celestial Venerable Third Layer cultivation, resisted six such fierce attacks from them, truly exceeding everyone’s imagination.
Yet.
After all, the disparity in strength was too great!
"Could it be that he really couldn’t beat them?"
Zhou Hai said blankly.
One must know.
When he first saw Ye Qingchen, he witnessed him slay a Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer powerhouse with a sword. He once believed in miracles appearing, but upon seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but feel cold inside, eyes filled with despair.
"Die!"
At this point, Zhang Wenjie, Shi Fukuang, Zhao Lingxiao, and the others no longer wanted to delay, and attacked fiercely together.
With a bang.
In the sky, clouds churned, True Qi swirled. The six surging forces relentlessly crushed down, as if about to collapse the entire world.
The terrifying forces were fearsome to the extreme, even causing the river water to be fiercely stirred, raising monstrous waves.
Facing this combined strike from six Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer powerhouses, Ye Qingchen not only wasn’t frightened, but also laughed loudly:
"Open!"
Boom!
In an instant.
At that moment, it was like chains breaking, a volcano erupting. An accumulated and infinite aura exploded from his body, ascending step by step in an unbelievable manner, reaching a higher Realm!
Facing the six Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer powerhouses.
At this moment.
Ye Qingchen finally broke through the barrier and stepped into the Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer!
