Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 728 - 727: Deadly Peril

Victory!

Witnessing this scene, all the cultivators present cheered loudly. Even those who didn’t like Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but show the joy of surviving a calamity at this moment.

Perhaps, Ye Qingchen really has a chance to win!

"The Bone Flood Dragon is dead!"

Kong Jing couldn’t help but become excited.

The people of Taotian Palace also nodded repeatedly.

"This Bone Flood Dragon is equivalent to a Human Immortal Fifth Layer cultivator, stronger than the previous Xiao Qi’an. Yet it was unexpectedly slain easily by Ye Qingchen!"

Exclaimed an Evil Cultivator of the Human Immortal Fourth Layer.

Back then.

Ye Qingchen, as a Celestial Venerable, killed the Bone Flood Dragon and escaped the encirclement of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect. Everyone knew that once this young man overcame this tribulation, he would be reborn and become incomparably powerful.

But the strength displayed now still far exceeds everyone’s imagination.

"Does this mean we don’t have to die?"

An Evil Cultivator asked excitedly.

"You’re happy too soon!"

That Human Immortal Fourth Layer Evil Cultivator’s eyes flashed: "Earlier, it was just an appetizer. The real life-and-death battle hasn’t started yet!"

"Ah?"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding.

They saw that person staring intently at Venerable Yin Mountain, and all of a sudden, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads, and all their joy instantly vanished.

Yes!

Venerable Yin Mountain hasn’t even made a move! That Bone Flood Dragon was nothing more than a pet he raised!

"Hahaha!"

Venerable Yin Mountain laughed wildly, his eyes almost manic. His booming laughter shook the surrounding void like thunder, making everyone dizzy and disoriented. Then, under all the shocked gazes, Venerable Yin Mountain took a step forward and said in a loud voice:

"Very good!"

"If you can’t even kill the small thing I raised effortlessly, what qualifies you to be my physical body? However, you managed to kill it so easily, which is beyond my expectations."

"It seems I have no choice but to act myself!"

Venerable Yin Mountain squinted his eyes slightly.

After all, not long ago, he had achieved the Yin Spirit Body, his strength no longer at its peak. In his view, Ye Qingchen and the Bone Flood Dragon would both be seriously injured, and then he could kill Ye Qingchen’s soul and take over his body, reaping the benefits without effort.

Boom!

After he spoke, he stepped forward slowly.

His body, originally as ethereal as mist, suddenly condensed rapidly in the Yin wind, almost instantly forming a tangible form, with less eerie ghostly aura and more of a Daoist’s aura.

At this moment, he stared directly at Ye Qingchen:

"I’ll give you one more chance! If you kneel and beg for mercy now, obediently offer up your body, I can still spare your life!"

"What if I’m unwilling?"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

"Then don’t blame me for being ruthless and making your soul scatter!"

Venerable Yin Mountain’s eyes shone brilliantly at the words, his long hair and robes dancing without wind.

His aura climbed crazily, causing the surrounding dust to hover. The Withered Forest, already dark, suddenly darkened further, becoming like a Ghost Realm.

When his aura reached its peak, he suddenly clasped his hands together.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

They saw it.

The surging Yin Evil Qi gathered massively, forming two giant black hands, which, upon formation, closed in fiercely. The hands formed a huge prison, crushing madly, and even a mountain could be easily ground to dust.

"Break!"

Ye Qingchen, holding the Star Sword, slashed sharply.

A swift sword light swept out, splitting the giant hand that could crush a mountain into two under the sword light. It instantly turned into boundless black mist, spreading out.

The sword light did not lose its momentum, carrying a raving, rapid roar, surging towards Venerable Yin Mountain.

However.

Venerable Yin Mountain showed no fear, stepping forward in mid-air. With a mere lift of his right hand, he effortlessly shattered the Sword Qi that could cut a Human Immortal.

At the same time, he raised a finger.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

In a flash, several beams of finger light shot towards Ye Qingchen. These beams seemed casual, but when fired, they swept quickly like lightning and whistled like sharp arrows.

The power of the finger radiance pierced through the void, causing the air to explode like thunder crashing down.

Even those who were far away could feel the terrifying Sword Qi rushing towards them.

"So strong!"

Witnessing this scene, everyone present was utterly shocked and lost color in their faces.

"There are so many of us here, yet none could withstand even a single finger from him. Is this the strength of Venerable Yin Mountain?"

Some cultivators showed fear in their eyes.

"Break!"

Facing the nine penetrating finger radiances, Ye Qingchen showed no fear.

He gathered True Qi and Qi Blood, and with a turn of the Star Sword in his hand.

With this sword, a torrent of swirling Nine Revolutions Sword Qi emerged, sometimes slicing, sometimes chopping, sometimes hacking, sometimes picking, like a frenzied dragon dance. In an instant, it was as if nine Sword Dao masters attacked simultaneously.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

The Sword Qi shattered the finger radiance.

But each time a finger radiance was broken, Ye Qingchen was forced to retreat a step.

Retreated?

This was the first time Ye Qingchen had been forced back since he made his move.

"This is just too strong!"

The crowd felt a chill in their hearts.

Those who initially held onto hope now showed despair in their eyes.

Venerable Yin Mountain indeed lived up to his reputation as a former top-level Earth Immortal. Even after losing his physical body and being left with just a Yin Spirit Body, he could still display such terrifying strength. With every move, the endless Yin Evil Qi roiled and surged, almost like a towering tsunami.

Almost as soon as he made his move, he had Ye Qingchen completely suppressed.

Kong Jing and others couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"Go!"

Venerable Yin Mountain waved his hand, ripping open the earth with immense terrifying power, carving a deep trench that spanned hundreds of feet across the ground. The surrounding air was forcibly split by this motion!

"Slash!"

Ye Qingchen shouted deeply. He pushed both the Nine Revolutions Star Technique and Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to their limits, his robes billowing, and swung his sword fiercely against the all-encompassing strike.

Venerable Yin Mountain didn’t budge, but Ye Qingchen was knocked back several feet by the blow.

The fierce Powerful Qi surged in all directions, causing the Human Immortal cultivators to cry out miserably.

"Retreat quickly!"

"Not good..."

"Their duel is too intense!"

Many of the watching cultivators had no choice but to retreat again and again, even backing up to the edge of the barrier. The area impacted by the duel was left in ruins, almost nothing was intact.

Like a furious dragon passing through, everything in its path was crushed.

But throughout, it was mostly Venerable Yin Mountain attacking while Ye Qingchen defended.

"Such stubbornness!" Watching the relentless fight of Ye Qingchen, Venerable Yin Mountain squinted his eyes, his voice dropping suddenly: "Since that’s the case, prepare to be completely annihilated!"

Bang!

At this moment, he finally lost patience, grabbing with his large hand, causing the sky-filling Yin Evil Qi to swirl and form a gigantic palm.

"Break for me!"

Ye Qingchen’s Sword Qi danced, and sword radiance shot out, even though that giant palm was enough to crush everything, it was forcibly split apart by the sword radiance, having no choice but to separate into two halves.

"Just a desperate struggle!"

"Kneel before me!"

Venerable Yin Mountain’s expression chilled, and his large hand suddenly enveloped.

The exploded Yin Evil Qi gathered again, instantly covering an area ten feet across.

The palm, though only a few dozen feet across, upon forming, locked the void and sealed the surrounding heavens! Leaving Ye Qingchen under the palm, with nowhere to hide!

Feeling his True Qi and Qi Blood truly suppressed by the terrifying power, unable to circulate!

"Ye Qingchen, it’s over! Your physical body will be mine! I gave you a chance, and you didn’t cherish it!"

He laughed loudly.

Then, he pressed down towards the ground! With an overwhelming stance, he came crashing down. Under the giant palm, the Yin Evil Qi roiled and surged like tidal waves, filling the surrounding heavens!

In an instant.

Ye Qingchen found himself in a life-or-death predicament!
