Dead!
Mu Shanhe is dead!
This culprit, who besieged Taotian Palace and abducted Ye Qing, set up a supreme killing array in Abyssal Valley to lure in the cultivators of Black Abyss City, is finally dead.
Liu Luocheng and the Confucian scholar stared wide-eyed.
Watching the scene unfold before them.
As for Elder Xu and the axe-wielding man, though they also breathed a sigh of relief, they looked at Ye Qingchen with deepened awe.
"Whew!"
In mid-air.
Ye Qingchen descended slowly.
Boom!
With Mu Shanhe’s death, there was no longer any means to control them, and the numerous demon giant lizards dispersed like birds and beasts.
He glanced at the fleeing demons, at the Giant Lizard King that had been sliced in two, and at Mu Shanhe, now utterly vanquished, and Ye Qingchen slowly exhaled a deep breath.
"Brother Ye, that sword of yours was truly awe-inspiring... to directly slice that Giant Lizard King in two! And that palm strike, it annihilated that old ghost, leaving him with no hope of rebirth!"
The axe-wielding man’s eyes were filled with excitement and shock.
"It’s finally over!"
Elder Xu also let out a deep breath.
The others discreetly relaxed, a sense of post-catastrophe relief washing over them.
Over?
Seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces, Ye Qingchen suddenly lifted his head and looked toward the giant peak on the Central Island, shaking his head slowly, "Over? This is just the beginning!"
Boom!
These words, to everyone, landed like a thunderclap.
Indeed!
Mu Shanhe was merely a pawn of the Mo Luo Celestial Saint; their true opponent was the Mo Luo Celestial Saint who had been undefeated for the last four to five centuries.
"Young Master Ye, what should we do?"
The Confucian scholar quickly cupped his fists, "At your command, without a word of protest!"
"Young Master Ye!"
"Young Master Ye!"
In an instant.
Cheering rose in unison.
Ye Qingchen stared at the mountain peak, his voice cold as he said, "Although the Mo Luo Celestial Saint was the Supreme Celestial Saint who dominated the Eastern Domain four hundred years ago, his body was destroyed by the Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint and he was suppressed in this secret realm!"
"As long as we act before his life force is fully restored, we have a chance to annihilate him! Since he dares to set such a supreme killing array in Abyssal Valley, regardless of who he is, I will utterly destroy him!"
"Yes! Annihilate him!"
The axe-wielding man shouted loudly.
"Utterly destroy him!"
Everyone echoed coldly.
To think, each of them was a tyrant, a hero in their own right, but had been deceived into a killing array, turning on each other. How could they not be angry? Especially Liu Luocheng, who gritted his teeth, saying:
"Even if the Mo Luo Celestial Saint is lying in a coffin, I will drag him out and grind his bones to dust!"
"Let’s go!"
Ye Qingchen swept his gaze over everyone and nodded firmly.
Whoosh!
Immediately.
Everyone transformed into streaks of light, rapidly dashing toward the center of the island.
The closer they got to the island.
The more the eerie ghostly atmosphere thickened.
It had even solidified, like a demon worm clinging to bones, drifting in the air. Just a touch of it and they felt a bone-penetrating chill.
"Young Master Ye, why is there so much demonic qi here?" Cui Geng, the axe-wielding man, looked around in astonishment, "Could it be that the Mo Luo Celestial Saint is not afraid of exposing his identity?"
"Hmph, the Mo Luo Celestial Saint tricked us into this secret realm, and now we’ve entered the Central Island; I’m afraid in his eyes, we are already like fish in a barrel, unable to escape his grasp!"
Elder Xu, Xu Huai, snorted coldly.
As he spoke, he looked at the youthful figure flying ahead.
Were it not for Ye Qingchen, they might still be in the dark, believing this secret realm to be the Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint’s ancient tomb, a place where they could gain great opportunities.
Boom!
At this moment.
A massive roar suddenly erupted, accompanied by waves of angry shouts, evidently a battle had ensued.
"What is that?"
Previously engrossed in conversation, everyone was instantly shocked, hurrying to look in the direction of the sound.
The source of the sound wasn’t anywhere else; it was precisely on the mountain within the island!
Looking from afar.
They saw.
The sky above the mountain had been forcibly divided into two halves. One half was engulfed in demonic flames of black fog, while the other half was shrouded in a blue mist, colliding fiercely like two tidal waves.
The terrifying sound of the collision reverberated across the heavens, even from such a distance, it sounded as if thundering in their ears, deafening to the extreme.
"What’s going on?"
"Someone is fighting atop the mountain... That power, it has likely surpassed the Profound Pill Ninth Layer!"
Feeling the earth-shattering clash, everyone was utterly dumbfounded.
Could it be, someone has already reached the mountaintop?
Discovered Mo Luo Celestial Saint’s secret?
"That’s Elder Qin!"
Feeling the familiar aura within the blue smoke, Ye Qingchen’s pupils constricted involuntarily.
"It seems Elder Qin has reached there first, and might be fighting the Mo Luo Celestial Saint now!" Ye Qingchen’s heart stirred, and without a moment of hesitation, his already surging star power erupted even more overwhelmingly.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Qingchen, who was already swift, transformed into a silver streak of lightning, with dazzling afterimages trailing as he shot toward the mountain at full speed.
"This..."
Witnessing this scene.
Cui Geng and Xu Huai were momentarily stunned, then quickly understood.
It was likely the work of that half-step Celestial Saint!
In an instant.
No one dared to slack, they mustered all their energy, charging toward the mountaintop.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The closer they got.
The more they could feel the earth-shattering explosions, the waves of sound crashing against their bodies like tides, making their qi blood churn.
Especially the power emanating from the black fog, it was a hundred times more immense than that of Mu Shanhe.
No matter how the figure within the blue smoke attacked, it was like a massive reef, immovable. Yet, with each collision, his aura weakened further.
"Haha, a mere half-step Celestial Saint dares to clash with me? You truly don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Amidst this wild laughter.
The dark fog that shrouded half the sky suddenly quivered violently, enveloping the void like a raging tide. As the black clouds trembled, a massive face emerged. Though hazy, its eyes gleamed with an icy light.
"Boom!"
However.
The figure in blue showed not the slightest fear.
The voice echoed through the void simultaneously.
"Mo Luo Celestial Saint, you have been dead for over four hundred years, yet you dream of wreaking havoc in the Eastern Domain. Today, you dare set such a grand array in Abyssal Valley; I cannot let you stay!"
Qin Wentian stood amidst the void.
His five fingers clenched tightly, gripping the battle spear.
"Kill!"
His momentum, like a rainbow, soared into the sky.
Boom!
At this moment.
The blue battle spear, resembling smoke ascending against the current, struck like a comet hurtling at the moon, like a majestic celestial river hanging in the sky, growing to unimaginable proportions, shot directly toward the massive face in the sky!
"Courting death!"
The cloud-faced figure snorted coldly, and from within the roiling dark clouds, a colossal hand reached out, crushing fiercely downward!
