Chapter 596 - 599: Creation Lotus Ripens!
Whoosh!
The vast river breeze swept across Zhou Tian.
On the riverbank, a deathly silence reigned. Thousands of people were present, yet not a sound was heard. Even the rushing river seemed to pause at this moment.
At this time.
Everyone’s gaze was fixatedly on the scene ahead.
There, only a solitary figure in green stood proudly, like a statue that had existed for eternity. His Qi blood roiled, the wind whipped around him, and an enormous aura gathered around him!
"How is this possible?"
Zhao Mo’s face was pale, unable to believe it.
At this moment, no one could answer him.
More than just him.
Everyone present was dumbfounded. Originally, everyone thought that Shi Fukuang and the other six Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer experts would certainly kill Ye Qingchen. But who would have thought that Ye Qingchen would unexpectedly break through on the spot, reaching Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer.
And with a Heaven-shocking momentum, he counter-killed the six!
This scene was terrifying beyond belief.
If it weren’t witnessed firsthand, almost no one would dare to believe it.
"Boom!"
At this moment.
Zhao Mo’s heart trembled violently, especially under Ye Qingchen’s indifferent gaze, which was like being drenched in cold water, extinguishing all his anger, leaving only deep fear!
The person before him was not some weak boy to be bullied, but a Demon God!
With such an existence, who would dare not to believe he was a Demon God?
If given another chance, he swore, he would never again trouble Ye Qingchen!
However.
There’s no medicine for regret in this world.
"Can you spare my life?" Zhao Mo’s face was pale.
"What do you think?" Ye Qingchen clasped his hands behind his back, quietly looking at him, "I already spared you once at the Longevity Pavilion, but you brought so many people to besiege me. If I spare you again, won’t everyone think Ye Qingchen is weak and easy to bully in the future?"
"I am from Profound Sword City..."
Zhao Mo wanted to say more, but Ye Qingchen no longer had any patience for him.
"Noisy!"
With a flick of his finger, a force shot out, piercing through Zhao Mo’s skull instantly. Zhao Mo’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend even in death.
After all, when faced with their identity and background, anyone would hesitate. But who would have thought Ye Qingchen would be so unrestrained, killing without a second thought!
"Since you’ve come, do you still wish to leave alive?"
Ye Qingchen slowly retracted his right hand, his gaze sweeping around.
At this moment.
The crowd by the river, all bowed their heads, eyes filled with fear.
Six Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer experts!
Together with the six cities’ prodigies!
Throughout history.
Never before, prior to the grand selection of the Taotian Palace, had so many Celestial Venerables fallen. If indeed waiting for the day of the grand selection, what terrifying waves would be stirred?
"Mr. Ye, do you know the identity and background of these people? You’ve indeed had a satisfactory killing, but how can the forces behind them let this slide?"
Sea of Zhou came before Ye Qingchen, trembling as he spoke.
Profound Sword City! Bright Moon City! Thunderstorm City! Black Stone City! Celestial Cloud City! Haoran City!
It can be imagined.
Once these City Lords learn of their descendants’ fall, what fury they’ll have, and what kind of retaliation Ye Qingchen will face! He now suspected he wasn’t holding onto a golden thigh but a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
"Killed is killed, why worry so much!" Ye Qingchen swept him a glance, "Others have already come to kill me, should I bind my hands and let them kill me?"
"As for if they dare to retaliate, then I’ll just kill them again!"
Ye Qingchen flicked his fingers, speaking with utmost nonchalance.
As soon as these words were spoken, Sea of Zhou broke out in cold sweat.
It must be known.
In the Sun Country, one of the Thirty-Six Countries of the Celestial South, over ten thousand cities exist, categorized by size and strength into different levels.
Mainly divided into: Lower, Mid, Upper!
Bright Moon City, Thunderstorm City, and others are in the middle of lower-ranked cities.
However, Profound Sword City is a mid-ranked city!
Once their retaliation arrives, it can be well imagined how terrifying it would be.
"It seems the Creation Lotus is about to bloom!"
Yet, Ye Qingchen was utterly unconcerned, his face as calm as the breeze, even casually glancing at Lantai River.
At this moment.
One could see the Creation Lotus in the center of Lantai River growing more and more radiant. The previously closed bud was already blooming piece by piece, the boundless Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth gathering on the lotus, faintly showing thirty-six points of light.
These lights initially were like fireflies, but as time passed, they continued to shine brightly, transforming into bright moons, eventually like newly born rising suns, radiant and eye-catching.
At the same time.
The river surged with giant waves, spray growing larger, finally turning into a terrifying torrent.
Looking down from the riverbank.
One could see enormous figures swimming swiftly underwater, those were the hidden beasts in Lantai River. Evidently, these beasts too came for this lotus!
"The Creation Lotus is about to bloom!"
Someone shouted.
Whoosh!
At this moment, countless people present, everyone’s gaze turned in unison.
Concurrently.
The aura surrounding them grew tense, their entire bodies taut with anticipation, ready to strike at any moment!
"Right, why haven’t I seen Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye?"
Ye Qingchen clasped his hands behind his back, scanning the riverbank, suddenly remembering something.
"Perhaps with their status and talent, they look down on Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like the Creation Lotus, so they didn’t come..." Sea of Zhou speculated.
"I see! What a pity!"
Ye Qingchen stroked his chin, no wonder he hadn’t seen any cultivators above Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer here, which made him a bit regretful. Originally he wanted to test the strength of these two people, to see how far he really was from the so-called top prodigies of Kunlun Realm.
"My dear brother..."
Sea of Zhou witnessed this, almost crying without tears.
It must be known.
Generally, people encountering such top-tier prodigies, would be in a stance of avoiding them, but only Ye Qingchen was different, even wanting to compete with these prodigies.
But just at this time.
Suddenly, a brilliant light erupted over the river, the closed Creation Lotus abruptly fully bloomed.
And the thirty-six lotus seeds shone to the extreme!
Like beacons shining in the dark night, radiant and unmatched!
At this moment.
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth seemed to gather upon the Creation Lotus!
"It’s matured!"
Seeing this scene, Sea of Zhou couldn’t help but exclaim.
Before his voice fell.
Whoosh!
In an instant, it was seen, by the riverbank, those cultivators ready to go, sprang forth like beasts breaking free from their cages, charging through the rushing water like rapid arrow shadows, madly dashing towards Lantai River!
And their target was evidently the Creation Lotus in the river!
