Chapter 723 - 722: Stomped Underfoot
The reason Xiao Qi’an could rejuvenate was nothing more than relying on his Qi Blood.
He usually appeared in the guise of an old man, storing Qi Blood little by little, releasing it completely at critical moments, much like Mencius once said: ’I excel at nurturing the lofty spirit!’
If it were anyone else, in the face of this Qi Blood accumulated over several decades, they would only retreat in bitterness.
But Ye Qingchen is different.
The ’Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique’ he practiced had, since he stepped into the fourth Chapter ’Silver Blood,’ made the Qi Blood in his body as thick as mercury. Once it started, it was like a river, lake, or sea, unable to stop.
"Dong!"
In the shocked gaze of the crowd.
The attacks of both sides slashed through the sky and collided fiercely.
In an instant.
The entire Withered Forest trembled madly at this moment. A terrifying, surging gale rapidly spread from the center of the two, sweeping several kilometers around in an instant.
Countless towering ancient trees were shredded on the spot, directly turning into dust. Even the surrounding spectators were blown away by this hurricane!
"Too terrifying!"
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded, their hearts appalled. They didn’t even think to get up, quickly looking towards the battlefield, wanting to see who was gaining the upper hand in this direct clash of power.
However.
Upon seeing, everyone couldn’t help but open their mouths in shock.
Ye Qingchen, who was just at Human Immortal Second Layer, was facing Xiao Qi’an, whose cultivation realm was far above his, yet he was not giving an inch.
"Powerful!"
"Too strong!"
"With just Human Immortal Second Layer cultivation, he does not fear the Fifth Layer! His power has reached such an extent!"
The surrounding evil cultivators couldn’t help but shout wildly. Although they had guessed that once Ye Qingchen reached Human Immortal, his strength would be extraordinary, the scene before them still greatly exceeded their expectations!
Gong Shikun, Xiang Jiuyang, Wang Qinhu, these high-level members of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, seeing Ye Qingchen confronting Xiao Qi’an head-on without falling behind, couldn’t help but feel their hearts pounding.
"How is this possible?"
This evenly matched strike made Xiao Qi’an incredibly surprised, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief. "How can this kid’s Qi Blood be so strong?"
It must be known.
He painstakingly accumulated for decades to reach his current level. But Ye Qingchen could contend with him, not falling behind.
But at this moment, he no longer had time to think, as Ye Qingchen had already charged toward him!
"Again!"
Ye Qingchen let out a long howl to the heavens, stepping into the void, instantly rushing forward like a blue lightning bolt, riding the wind and waves, advancing fiercely.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Qi’an’s expression tensed, not daring to show any slack. The surging Qi Blood roiled around him like stormy waves. At this moment, everyone felt as if they were in a raging sea, their ears filled with the sound of roaring water!
Hong!
In the shocked gaze of the crowd, the two once again clashed in mid-air.
This time was different from before.
Xiao Qi’an’s Qi Blood accumulated over decades was enormously vast, not an explosive secret technique. At this moment, he was akin to a great powerhouse with both internal and external cultivation, without any weaknesses.
But Ye Qingchen was no different.
In the eyes of outsiders.
The two collided like a mass of black demonic flames and a green gale, with each clash producing an earth-shattering boom.
The entire world rang with a rumble like tens of thousands of thunders, continuously erupting. Even dozens of miles away, the ’dong dong dong’ sounds resounded.
The terrifying sound waves turned into visible sonic waves, rolling toward the surroundings, forcing everyone to retreat continuously.
"Hong long long!"
In the shocked gaze of the crowd, the two were simply like prehistoric beasts, where they passed, Qi Force shot out, dust rose, and the world was thrown into chaos.
"This person must die. If he doesn’t, I’m afraid no one will ever be able to restrain him!"
Wang Luocheng felt cold hands and feet.
In his view, as long as Xiao Qi’an made a move, he would surely annihilate Ye Qingchen with thunderous force. But everything before his eyes had surpassed his imagination.
"Can the Sect Leader win?"
Gong Shikun, Wang Qinhu, Yao Guangjing, and others clenched their fists tightly. They naturally hoped Xiao Qi’an could kill Ye Qingchen here. Otherwise, their Ten Thousand Gods Sect might really be leveled to the ground by Ye Qingchen!
Of course.
The most shocked of all was naturally Xiao Qi’an.
He originally thought that no matter how strong Ye Qingchen was, he was just at Human Immortal Second Layer and should have a limit. Yet, he didn’t expect that Ye Qingchen’s True Qi was not only abundant and concentrated, not weaker than himself, but his Qi Blood was also like rivers and lakes, never-ending!
The young man before his eyes was undoubtedly the greatest enemy he had ever encountered in his life!
"Dong!"
Their fists collided.
The two parted upon impact.
Ye Qingchen stepped into the void, arms spread wide, like a great bird, easily dispelling the force. His silver hair fluttered, his clothes rustling, his demeanor just as imposing as before the battle, perhaps even more so.
"Xiao Qi’an, your Qi Blood has already begun to wane, let’s see how long you can hold on!"
Ye Qingchen clenched his fist.
On the other side, Xiao Qi’an retreated several steps, confusion and doubt in his eyes. Despite having used all his methods, he didn’t expect Ye Qingchen to break through with just a punch. His Qi Blood was not cultivated but accumulated, no matter how vast it was, it eventually had an end.
Once it begins to decline, his defeat is imminent.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but his face also seemed to age again.
"Hahaha!"
However, at this moment, Xiao Qi’an burst into laughter, his long hair flying, eyes shining with divine light, his expression full of agitation, and his aura not decreasing but increasing instead. He said with a cold gaze:
"Ye Qingchen, I have not yet been defeated!"
Rumble!
He clenched both fists tighter and stepped forward, his voice booming across the Withered Forest’s sky as if he roared with all his might:
"Asura Myriad Forms!"
Boom!
As he uttered those words, the entire world trembled violently. Everyone around was shocked and terrified as they saw the Asura Demon Aspect, which Ye Qingchen had shattered earlier, rise fiercely and horrifyingly again, its gigantic body seemingly tearing the entire heaven and earth apart!
At the same time, he swung his massive hand, slamming it down from above.
From afar.
It was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was crumbling!
This strike poured in all of Xiao Qi’an’s power of Human Immortal Fifth Layer, unleashing the immense Qi Blood he painstakingly accumulated over decades, staking all his dignity as the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect!
"Not defeated?"
Watching the enormous hand slam down, Ye Qingchen chuckled softly:
"Human Immortal Fifth Layer, so what?"
"Asura Myriad Forms, so what?"
"Today, even if the Celestial Emperor himself comes, you’re doomed to die! Let me show you my methods!"
Ye Qingchen slowly lifted his foot, and at this moment, his temperament drastically changed, soaring to the peak, like an Ancient Great God suppressing the heavens and earth!
Under the astonished and puzzled gazes of the onlookers, he calmly uttered two words:
"Kneel down!"
Suddenly, he stamped his foot down.
This stomp.
The heavens crumbled and the earth shattered!
Boom!
An even more violent explosion than before roared out in an instant, dust billowing. A terrifying whirlwind, like a typhoon passing through, swept in all directions with an unbelievable stance.
The horrendous explosion left even the crowd completely deafened at that moment.
"What happened?"
Yet despite this.
Everyone present, their eyes were all fixed on the front, eager to know the result of the battle at once. However, most people believed that Xiao Qi’an, as a Human Immortal Fifth Layer, infused his last strike with Qi Blood accumulated over decades, could not be ordinary.
Even if Ye Qingchen was incredibly powerful, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it, and even if by a miracle he survived, he would at least be severely wounded.
Not only did a few high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect imagine this, but almost everyone present thought so.
After all.
Xiao Qi’an’s final Asura Myriad Forms strike was just too strong. Even if all the Human Immortals present joined forces, they wouldn’t hope to block this strike, let alone Ye Qingchen?
"Haha, Ye Qingchen is dead, I can return to report to Marquis Guangjun!" Wang Luocheng couldn’t hide his excitement, laughing wildly in his heart. However, just as this thought arose, he heard a cry:
"What is this?"
"How is that possible?"
"Is it real?"
Wang Luocheng’s expression changed, he quickly widened his eyes and looked forward, trying to see clearly what was happening.
He saw the wild wind gradually dissipate, dust slowly settling, revealing an incredible scene in the Withered Forest:
He saw.
A young silver-haired boy in blue clothes stood between heaven and earth, his figure like a statue existing since ancient times.
The once arrogant Xiao Qi’an was already stepped down by him, firmly suppressed underfoot. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t budge an inch. The terrifying Asura Myriad Forms also seemed to shatter and crumble with that divine mountain-like stomp, dissipating as black light into the void.
Xiao Qi’an!
The Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect!
A mighty Human Immortal Fifth Layer!
Was actually crushed under Ye Qingchen’s foot!
What a terrifying and dreadful scene this was!
The entire world fell into deathly silence!
