Seven Peaks.

At the Void Peak, Marquis Guangjun slowly opened his eyes, showing a trace of displeasure.

It’s important to note.

The Inner Sect of the Taotian Palace does not prohibit private fights among disciples; in fact, they even secretly encourage it. That’s why numerous Martial Arts Arenas have been established. One reason is to prevent the disciples’ battles from destroying the Taotian Palace.

The second reason is to prevent disputes between disciples from affecting the seclusion of some of the old monsters in the Taotian Palace.

"Which irresponsible scoundrel is disregarding the rules so blatantly?" Marquis Guangjun was about to reprimand, when he suddenly paused, "These auras are of Half-Step Human Immortals... they’re not coming from my Void Peak, but from the Inner Sect!"

"Why are so many Half-Step Human Immortals gathered?"

Without a moment of hesitation.

Marquis Guangjun’s divine sense swept out, surging towards where the Inner Sect was located in an instant. However, just as Marquis Guangjun’s divine sense touched the Inner Sect, it also collided with the divine senses of several other Supreme Elders who had come to investigate.

Clearly.

They were similarly alarmed by the auras in the Inner Sect.

"This is simply lawlessness!" The divine sense from Celestial Moon Peak was filled with anger: "This kid dares to boast about destroying the Inner Sect and dismantling the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who gave him the courage?"

"Young people who don’t know the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth, they are practically guilty of extreme arrogance. Does he really think he is invincible to the point of acting recklessly here!" The divine sense from Cold Star Peak was similarly full of dissatisfaction.

"Hahaha, now there are indeed seventy percent of the Half-Step Human Immortals from the Inner Sect gathered here... I wonder if he still has the guts to repeat what he just said!" The divine sense from Seven Stars Peak was full of ridicule.

The other divine senses also sneered coldly.

In their view.

At this moment, the Inner Sect disciples gathered, forming seventy to eighty percent of the Half-Step Human Immortals, which could easily flatten a small sect. Although Ye Qingchen was just a Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer, no matter how strong, two fists are no match for four hands.

Facing so many Half-Step Human Immortals, in an instant when you make a move, you wouldn’t know how many times your life would be at risk.

Therefore, several Supreme Elders looked on with mocking expressions, wanting to see how Ye Qingchen would lower his head and submit.

However.

Just at this moment, a shout resounded through the void:

"In front of you, I dare to say this! In front of all the Inner Sect disciples, I dare to say this too! If you do not provide me a satisfactory explanation today, I will level the Inner Sect and dismantle your Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Three hundred and sixty-seven Half-Step Human Immortals? Come at me together!"

...

Several divine senses suddenly stiffened, seemingly in disbelief.

Marquis Guangjun was even more astonished to the extreme and couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Is this kid really planning to challenge the entire Inner Sect with his own strength? Where does he get the courage, where does he get the nerve?"

Not only were several Supreme Elders stunned, but the ordinary disciples were also left dumbfounded.

Yet at this moment.

The battle between Ye Qingchen and the Inner Sect has already begun.

Boom!

The aura erupted by over three hundred Half-Step Human Immortals was terrifying and overwhelming. It was like an omnipresent tidal wave that had already swept in frantically from all directions.

The sky and the ground were filled with countless figures.

The violent and vast aura carried a raging gale, directly blowing Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, and Lin Shifei around Ye Qingchen hundreds of meters away, while simultaneously launching a fierce assault.

Before Lu Yanwu and the others who were blown away could even lift their heads, they saw Ye Qingchen directly engulfed by the countless figures in the sky.

The ordinary Inner Sect disciples all widened their eyes, each with a frightened look:

"Are they trying to kill Ye Qingchen directly?"

"It’s over!"

Zhang Nanxuan crossed his arms, as if he had already seen the outcome.

"Ye Qingchen, you dare look down on my Inner Sect, today you’ll learn there are always people stronger than you, and skies beyond your skies!" A vigorous young man roared, charging at Ye Qingchen first and foremost!

His name was Guo Wei, a Body Refining Powerhouse, ranked eighty-third in the Inner Sect.

Amidst his roar, he rushed to Ye Qingchen, raising his hand to throw a punch directly. This fierce punch’s power was unrivaled to the extreme, as if a mountain was toppling, with power incredibly overwhelming, simply unbelievable.

"Today, I will leave you with no burial ground!"

Almost simultaneously with Guo Wei’s attack, a shout came from the right. A young man with short hair and resolute eyes, holding a sword with both hands, sliced down vertically.

The brilliance was dazzling, with rolling flames, like the Golden Crow Spreading Wings, shining to the extreme.

However.

Facing the surging crowd, Ye Qingchen unexpectedly stood there, not dodging or avoiding. Just as the crowd closed in, he suddenly made a move. His hand clenched into a fist, throwing a powerful punch to meet Guo Wei’s fist.

"Crack!"

The two fists collided, followed by a crisp sound.

Guo Wei screamed as his right arm broke on the spot, and his whole body was sent flying like a straw, crashing to the ground!

Then.

He pushed his palm forward, crashing against the short-haired young man’s Golden Crow Spreading Wings-like strike. The violent power swept out instantly, shattering the fiery flames on the sword.

The opponent let out a dull groan, retreating repeatedly, his feet "thumping" on the ground, leaving a chaotic trail of footprints.

Next.

Ye Qingchen lifted his hand and brought forth a brilliant sword beam, slicing horizontally. The sword beam flashed, directly extinguishing the countless flying swords in the sky, still with undiminished momentum, it surged towards the sword-wielding Half-Step Human Immortal.

The Half-Step Human Immortal let out a scream, falling to the ground directly, with a gaping wound deep enough to see the bone on his chest!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

In an instant.

Ye Qingchen had already engaged with several Half-Step Human Immortals, making the entire Inner Sect feel as though heaven and earth were collapsing. Boundless powerful Qi wildly splattered, shooting in all directions. This piece of heaven and earth churned and wobbled, as if the sky was going to cave in.

The surrounding disciples who were watching the battle had to retreat continuously.

"Pu!"

You could see.

Several people already spat blood, all retreating backward.

At this moment, no one could get close to Ye Qingchen!

However.

There were just too many half-step Human Immortals present, and although several had been knocked away, more came pouring in like a flood, directly joining the battle. Some wielded martial arts, while others unleashed secret techniques!

Their ferocious assaults were relentless, each wave surpassing the last, stronger and more forceful!

"Get lost!"

Ye Qingchen coldly snorted.

He suddenly raised his hand and waved!

"Boom!"

This palm strike was like a divine force lifting a hand, its power terrifying to the extreme. An invisible colossal force surged out immediately, and the incoming attacks were instantly shattered like dry wood under a mighty flood, completely annihilated into nothingness.

"Blarg!"

The few half-step Human Immortals at the forefront were struck as if by lightning, as if hit by a primeval beast, vomiting a mouthful of blood and flying backward.

The Power rolled over them, its momentum unyielding, surging towards more disciples behind them, an unstoppable force. It stirred a white air current in the void, like a wild dragon sweeping across, its might reaching the pinnacle.

"Ha!"

At this moment, a disciple suddenly stepped forward, shouting loudly, with a clanging sound as he drew his sword.

A brilliance suddenly lit up in the void, like lightning sweeping across. He followed the sword, leaping up, striking a fierce blow with the wind, slashing out a sword light several tens of meters long in mid-air.

Only the sound of ’boom!’ was heard; Ye Qingchen’s fierce Powerful Qi was unexpectedly cleaved apart by this single sword stroke!

"Senior Brother Han Qing has made his move!"

"No wonder he’s one of the top three Inner Sect powerhouses!"

"That one sword actually cleaved apart that Powerful Qi!"

Seeing the Powerful Qi being cut apart, the surrounding disciples who had been disheartened suddenly became as excited as if injected with adrenaline.

"Humph!"

Ye Qingchen coldly snorted, preparing to raise his palm to blast Han Qing away.

Suddenly, an even fiercer aura descended from the sky, bringing a gusting cyclone. Ye Qingchen looked up, only to see a large palm already descending rapidly, like the firmament crushing down!

The one who attacked was none other than Lu Anzhi, ranked first in the Inner Sect!

Boom!

However.

At this moment, Han Qing stabilized himself in mid-air and simultaneously moved. His right hand shook, launching a fierce sword aura. The sword light was like a flood dragon, swirling and sweeping, creating an eerie shadowing in the void, later yet arriving first, roaring swiftly!

In an instant.

Dozens of half-step Human Immortals seized the opportunity and attacked together.

The sky was filled with flashes of swords and blades, and magic techniques, overwhelming towards Ye Qingchen. Such horrific power was enough to make everyone marvel, as if hundreds of thunderbolts crashed down, instantly covering an area of a hundred meters centered around Ye Qingchen’s body!

So many half-step Human Immortals attacking would be enough to flatten even a great mountain, let alone a mere Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer cultivator.

"Mr. Ye!"

Lu Yanwu exclaimed in shock.

Zhou Hai and Lin Shifei were also horrified and changed color.

This assault was several times stronger than Lin Tonghai’s Human Immortal strike that day, could Ye Qingchen withstand it?

The half-step Human Immortals around the heavens wore faces full of smugness upon seeing this scene.

Zhang Nanxuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter:

"Ye Qingchen, I thought you were much more capable, daring to boast about disabling the Inner Sect? So this is all you have! Unfortunately, letting you die like this is too cheap for you!"

Others nodded repeatedly in agreement.

In everyone’s eyes, that previous attack would gravely injure even a Human Immortal. With Ye Qingchen’s cultivation level, it was absolutely impossible to withstand; even if by some miracle he survived, he’d completely lose his combat power!

The few divine senses hovering over the Inner Sect were full of ridicule.

Marquis Guangjun continually sneered coldly:

"What a pity, what a pity! Such a peerless prodigy who rang the Spirit Heaven Bell twelve times! But the dead aren’t worthy to be called geniuses anymore..."

"What?"

Suddenly, Marquis Guangjun’s expression changed dramatically.

Immediately, divine senses from Piaomiao Peak, Celestial Moon Peak, Seven Stars Peak, and others let out simultaneous cries of surprise. At this moment, Zhang Nanxuan within the Inner Sect, along with many half-step Human Immortals present, also changed color.

"What’s going on?"

Everyone widened their eyes, hastily looking forward.

And saw.

In the battlefield, everything within view—trees, artificial mountains, flower beds—had completely collapsed and turned to dust, all existence within sight had transformed into nothingness, except for the battlefield center, where a young man in blue stood proudly.

The boy’s feet were like the roots of old trees embedded half a foot into the ground, completely unscathed! Behind him was a towering phantom, donning black Profound Armor, arms embracing the sky, standing in the void!

"Is it real?"

At this moment, Zhang Nanxuan jumped up directly.

"He’s actually unscathed?"

"This! How is it possible?"

"What kind of Cultivation Technique is that... I’ve never seen it before?"

The surroundings erupted in an uproar, eyes widening in disbelief!

Lu Yanwu excitedly clenched her fists.

Zhou Hai and Lin Shifei were almost excited to the point of cheering.

At this moment.

Ye Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing over the void, grinning:

"Have you all used your full strength?"

"Next, it should be my turn to make a move!"

After saying that, his gaze sharpened, and he took a sudden step forward. Qi Blood surged turbulently, and True Qi swept mightily!

At this moment!

Ye Qingchen finally unleashed his full power without reservation!
