Celestial Venerable Ninth Layer!

Wu Xingyun, Tuoba Ye!

Universally recognized elite talents.

Even before joining the Taotian Palace, they had already reached such a realm, just one step away from becoming a Human Immortal. Even the most arrogant members of the Chu Tian Association, like Zhang Muyun, had no choice but to bow and submit when they saw them!

But now.

Ye Qingchen faced them both alone, and in one move, blew both of them away.

What terrifying and formidable strength!

"Is it real?"

Not just the people in the valley.

The elders who were watching and assessing were almost popping their eyes out. Ye Qingchen’s strength was just too terrifying, wasn’t it?

That strike just now, though looking casual, was like a meteor crashing, with its power reaching the extreme. But he’s only at the Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer, where did he get such immense strength?

Especially Zhang Nanxuan, his expression was so dark it was almost dripping with water!

"Won!"

Lu Yanwu was so excited she was about to jump for joy.

Lin Shifei was also nodding repeatedly.

In the distance, Shi Mingyu’s mouth was wide open, enough to swallow a fist. The stronger Ye Qingchen’s power, the stronger the regret in his heart.

To think, with his status, he was unable to touch the level of Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye, and yet a chance was placed before him, and he lost it so easily!

"Won? Not a chance, the battle has just begun!"

Listening to Lu Yanwu’s cheers, the Three-tailed Fox squinted and said lightly.

"What?"

Lu Yanwu’s face stiffened.

Indeed.

She immediately realized that the auras of Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye had not weakened in the slightest. At this moment, they became even more powerful, even stronger than before!

Boom!

The words had barely left her mouth when these two auras were already frantically surging up.

Almost simultaneously, the sound of a gunshot and the whistle of a blade rang out. Two figures rose into the sky amidst the dust, one like a White Dragon, the other like a Black Tiger, precisely Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye.

But.

In their hands, weapons were already gripped tightly.

At this moment, it seemed as if they were holding up the heavens!

"Ye Qingchen, you’ve angered me!" Tuoba Ye’s voice was like a tiger’s roar, reverberating throughout the valley. "I will tear you to pieces and prove that I am the number one talent!"

After speaking.

Tuoba Ye suddenly stepped forward.

Rumble!

Around him, black True Qi surged wildly, gathering above his head to form a massive black tiger, over a thousand feet long, with green eyes and a fierce appearance. Like an Ancient Fierce Beast, hideous and terrifying!

"Ye Qingchen, I didn’t expect you to be this strong! But this Golden Bell, I am determined to have it! There’s no way I will let it go!" Wu Xingyun was already clutching the long spear tightly in his hands.

In an instant.

The enormous aura around him surged out like spring water, swirling around him in layers, forming a dragon that pierced through heaven and earth.

If.

If earlier the two were just top elite talents, then at this moment, they were decisive Celestial Venerable powerhouses. No Celestial Venerable emerged without traversing a path of blood and corpses!

As was Ye Qingchen!

Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye were the same!

"Is that so?"

Ye Qingchen flicked his finger, with a faint smile he said: "The Golden Bell is right here. If you want to take it, you’ll have to defeat me first! Do you have the ability?"

"Good!"

Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye exchanged a glance.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, the two attacked in unison.

"Slash!"

Tuoba Ye took a step forward, turning his blade.

The momentum surged again by threefold, as he moved with the blade, raising a gust of wind and approaching rapidly like a tiger descending the mountain. When the blade was lifted, it was still in its original place, and when it came down, it was already in front of Ye Qingchen.

As the blade descended, the fierce tiger claws struck.

At this moment.

The rolling black True Qi, like a boundless black cloud pressing down, infinite darkness, engulfed this corner of the world, seemingly about to bury Ye Qingchen completely in darkness!

On the other side, Wu Xingyun shook his long spear.

The entire person shot forward explosively like an ancient Demon Dragon, baring its fangs. Bringing up a white maelstrom, extending from the edge of the valley to Ye Qingchen’s front.

As he twisted the gilded long spear in his hand, it forcefully carved out a white spear light in this world.

In that instant.

The entire sky over the valley was forcefully split in two, half black and half white. The surging force, like two torrents, crashed over to Ye Qingchen’s front.

"Good timing!"

A spark of light flashed in Ye Qingchen’s eyes.

Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, Ye Qingchen raised his hand and clenched it, as if grasping the wind. At the same time, he raised his hand beside him and made a gentle slash, forming a perfect arc!

In an instant, the sword light flowed, shimmering.

Sword Qi assembled without dispersing, forming a giant circle around him. This circle appeared to be only a thin layer, as fragile as white paper, seemingly easy to tear apart.

Yet, at this moment, it forcibly withstood the seemingly irresistible attacks of Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye.

"So powerful!"

Countless sword cultivators in the field saw this sword and felt hopeless.

What kind of striking sword was this?

Even if they reached the realm of Human Immortal, they might not be able to unleash such a perfect sword!

"Bang!"

Their attacks, like a colossal wave crashing against a reef, not only failed to shatter the rock but were instead shaken by the sword light, forcing their bodies to quiver and retreat rapidly.

"Slash!"

At this moment.

Ye Qingchen finally seized the opportunity to attack.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, gently advancing. He actually tore the earth open, splitting the vast valley into two halves. The vast Sword Qi horizontally spanned a kilometer on the spot, leaving a sword mark on the ground, several feet deep.

This sword mark extended from under Ye Qingchen’s feet to the front of the two.

"Break!"

At this moment, Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye no longer carried their previous composure. True Qi erupted, infusing into their martial techniques. With their spears and massive knives, they fiercely struck at this sword.

Ye Qingchen didn’t move, but Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye were blasted back dozens of yards by this sword.

"Again!"

Ye Qingchen’s expression was calm as he turned his right hand, forming a sword technique.

"Zheng!"

A sharp sword hum suddenly resounded.

Then it could be seen.

The fierce surrounding wind rapidly reversed, transforming into long emerald swords, each a full three feet and seven inches long, sharp and shimmering like forged jade, the cold light swirling around them!

As he raised his hand and waved, they shot forth like tens of thousands of arrows, targeting the two men directly.

Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun’s expressions turned grim. This rain of swords was akin to a storm of bullets, numbering in the tens of thousands. Each sword possessed the capability to slay a Celestial Venerable. As they assaulted, they locked this land in place, leaving them with no way to escape, nowhere to hide!

The two had no choice but to steel themselves and face it.

"What kind of technique is this!"

Watching Ye Qingchen split mountains with a finger and summon ten thousand swords with a wave, everyone couldn’t help but turn pale with amazement.

The low-level Celestial Venerables were particularly dizzy and stirred, believing that Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye were the paramount prodigies. But seeing Ye Qingchen battle one against two today, they realized they had been gravely mistaken!

Boom!

Twelve moments later.

Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun finally blasted away the endless rain of swords and once more advanced forward.

But at that moment, Ye Qingchen had already flipped his left hand, pushing slowly forward. Those shattered flying swords gathered anew, forming an immensely large hand. As it formed, it pushed heavily forward!

"Not good!"

Just after breaking through the endless rain of swords, they were faced with this formidable palm strike, causing their faces to drastically change, forcing them to pull back and defend.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Heavy, dull roars echoed once more.

Their bodies trembled violently, as if struck by thunder, vomiting fresh blood as they staggered back repeatedly.

"Could it be that Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun are going to lose?" The ominous thought surfaced in everyone’s minds.

At this moment.

Everyone present could see.

Despite Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun being formidable, Ye Qingchen stood motionless, suppressing the two so thoroughly they couldn’t even lift their heads. Defeat was merely a matter of time!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Qingchen stood there, with the aura of a firm rock amidst a storm. He had already bested the two, who appeared clumsy and frantic, causing the entire valley to shatter, reduced to ruins.

Though Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun occasionally counterattacked, most of their efforts relied on their physical bodies to resist Ye Qingchen’s assaults, and before long, they were covered in wounds.

Yet, as dignified prodigies being pressed like this, how could they endure it?

"Open!"

At this moment.

Tuoba Ye fought desperately.

His head full of black hair surged wildly. Behind him, the black tiger emerged with a heaven-shaking roar. With a turn of his hands, he picked up the heavy knife and slowly cleaved downward!

Though he held only one knife, it seemed to wield the weight of ten thousand pounds, surging and erupting to the extreme.

"Roar!"

In an instant.

He charged forward with the black tiger, directly towards Ye Qingchen!

"Pfft!"

At this time, Wu Xingyun bit his tongue, directly spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the gilded long spear.

"Boom!"

The white dragon coiled around his body suddenly doubled in size. With a step forward, he charged with the spear, the white dragon following furiously.

Boom boom boom!

Within the two streams of wild True Qi, the entire world was set in motion. The space of the valley trembled unceasingly.

"Crackle!"

The rain of swords across the sky was smashed apart by these two torrents, completely obliterated. Facing the two attacking at all costs, Ye Qingchen’s expression turned to utmost seriousness as he raised an arm and waved.

In an instant, the world changed colors, a giant palm pushed forth, rolling with endless force, causing the valley to tremble and sway. But under Tuoba Ye’s knife and Wu Xingyun’s spear, it was sliced open as a hot knife through butter.

In the blink of an eye.

Their attack had already reached Ye Qingchen!

"Wu Xingyun’s Hidden Dragon Rising! Tuoba Ye’s Mountains and Rivers Wild Tiger!"

"The two have unleashed their final techniques, determined to defeat Ye Qingchen and seize the Golden Bell!"

"This strike is too powerful! It can’t be withstood!"

At this sight.

Those present were all struck with shock and fear.

"Careful!"

Even with Ye Qingchen’s power to rival Human Immortals, Lin Shifei couldn’t help but worry, and Lu Yanwu cried out involuntarily.

"It’s over!"

Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun’s eyes were full of wild joy, a sense of relief washing over them.

In this world.

As the top prodigies, even Chu Tian Association and Zhang Muyun had to bow before them. They imagined that no one could rival them. Yet they never thought they would meet Ye Qingchen in this small valley.

Forcing them to join forces!

But now.

Ye Qingchen was finally going to be defeated!

"Can he withstand it?"

At this moment.

All eyes involuntarily turned to Ye Qingchen, focusing on the young man in azure. Could he withstand this final strike from the two Celestial Venerable powerhouses and remain undefeated?

As everyone watched.

Ye Qingchen moved.

He tapped the scabbard and shouted in a low voice:

"Rise!"

At this moment.

The Gui Xu Sword, which had dominated the Barbaric Continent and slain countless Celestial Venerables, finally unsheathed!
