Chapter 1071 - 1070: Ye Qingchen Arrives!

Swish!

Yu Hongqing's voice was clear and cold, yet it quietly echoed through the void, as if it resonated in everyone's ears. In this instant, everyone on Star Gathering Scattered Island turned their gazes forward.

"Is it about to start?"

At this moment.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking ahead.

"The three-month deadline has arrived! But, junior sister, Ye Qingchen hasn't come yet!"

Then they saw.

Yu Hongqing slowly stood up, looking at Su Moran. Hanging in midair, Su Moran remained expressionless, offering no response.

"It's a pity, your talent is too high..." Yu Hongqing said blandly, "Out of our sibling bond, if you're willing to abandon your cultivation and follow me back to Taotian Palace, I can promise you a lifetime of glory!"

Until now.

Su Moran slowly opened her eyes.

Boom!

A surging, powerful torrent erupted from her body. This was the Celestial Immortal Power she had spent three months accumulating, bursting forth like a dam break, like a reversing Milky Way, boldly rushing towards the chains, trying to break free from her shackles.

Swoosh!

In the eyes of the crowd, although Su Moran appeared unchanged, she seemed infinitely massive. In a matter of moments, she transformed into a giant holding up the heavens and earth!

Such was the terrifying disparity caused by the enormous gap in power.

"Is another Celestial Immortal battle about to break out?"

The surrounding crowd was in uproar.

Many turned pale with fright and without any hesitation, retreated rapidly backward. How horrifying a Celestial Immortal battle is! If they were caught in it, they would be crushed like ants!

However.

Facing Su Moran's desperate counterattack, Yu Hongqing merely smiled faintly:

"Junior sister, it seems you're still not resigned!"

"Did you think your secret accumulation of the Power of Heaven and Earth over the past three months could escape my eyes?"

"Since you still hold hopes, then allow me to crush your last hope!"

With those words!

Yu Hongqing lightly stomped his foot.

Though the stomp seemed casual, when it landed, it was immensely heavy, the vast void totally freezing, with not a whisper of wind remaining.

Cultivators within hundreds of miles were shocked to discover that all the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had been entirely frozen, as if transformed into

"How is this possible?"

Su Moran's face was filled with horror.

Because.

The Power of Heaven and Earth she had gathered turned into a dead pool, no matter how she tried to mobilize it, she couldn't stir it, couldn't create even the slightest ripple!

"I've already told you, even among Celestial Immortals, there can be differences! It seems you didn't believe those words!"

In this realm, Yu Hongqing was the sovereign!

Witnessing this scene.

The crowd felt a chill.

Earthly Immortals who initially doubted Yu Hongqing could subdue Su Moran with one move now held their tongues. In their view, despite both being Celestial Immortals, how could the gap be that large?

But after seeing Su Moran's fearsome power being effortlessly suppressed by Yu Hongqing in mere conversation, they finally understood the terror!

"Are these the powers of the Celestial Immortal?"

"Too frightening!"

"Speaking, they make reality; in jest they seal a corner of the world, suppress the heavens. Such strength is akin to that of a god! If he wanted to kill us, it would be a mere thought away!"

Struggling to awaken from the shock, everyone was struck with fear and trepidation.

Even as Celestial Immortals are so, what of them?

Among the many half-step Celestial Immortals present, none were without dizziness and longing. This was the realm they pursued with all their lives!

However.

Yu Hongqing paid no mind to what others thought, simply looking at Su Moran, slowly shaking his head, seemingly reluctantly saying:

"Since you don't want to, I can only bury you myself!"

And at this moment, Bai Ji, beside him, raised her head and snorted coldly, "Yu Hongqing, don't be so triumphant too soon, Ye Qingchen will surely avenge us..."

"Ye Qingchen?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery emerged in Yu Hongqing's eyes, and he sneered:

"The reason I've held my hand until now is to wait for his return, because I want to execute him before the world and cleanse the shame of Taotian Palace! But alas, I overestimated him!"

"However, after I kill you, I shall go to the Enchanting Sea Region, and personally kill him! So you may reunite on Yellow Springs Road!"

Crackling!

As he spoke.

Bean-sized raindrops came pouring down, just moments ago it was sunny, now it was a torrential downpour. The sky darkened, blurring day and night.

Yu Hongqing slowly raised his head, killing intent flashing in his eyes, seemingly about to strike.

In the pouring rain, even Su Moran lowered her head, no longer speaking, seemingly resigned.

"Sigh!"

Someone seemed to sigh quietly.

As if mourning Ye Qingchen's cowardice in avoiding battle.

Or lamenting another Celestial Immortal's fall.

On the reef.

A chubby-headed child stood on tiptoe and seeing this scene, shook his head involuntarily.

Though he hoped dearly in his heart, he faintly felt that Ye Qingchen wouldn't return. He clutched tightly onto the elder beside him, seemingly unable to bear to look.

All of a sudden.

Su Moran raised her head sharply, gazing into the distance. Then, Yu Hongqing slowly unfurled his furrowed brow, with a half-smile, saying: "Finally, he's here!"

As soon as the words fell.

The many strong individuals on Star Gathering Scattered Island eagerly looked toward the distance, immediately calling out:

"Ye Qingchen has come?"

"He actually showed up? Is it true?"

"With his Earth Immortal Realm, to dare challenge Celestial Immortals alone, what courage and spirit! Merely appearing is enough to earn respect!"

The vast Star Gathering Scattered Island, at this instant, seemed to explode, everyone craning their necks.

"Mr. Ye is truly here?"

The child who had been despondent before also hastily stood on tiptoe to peer.

Amid the waterfalls of rain, within tumultuous floodwaters, a figure slowly approached across the sea.

The man was dressed in blue, with wide sleeves and a long robe, his spirit seemed extraordinary, like a Celestial Being. The stormy rain sweeping the heavens subtly turned into a gentle rain before him, though he arrived from the sea, his sleeves lightly floated, untouched by a drop of water from the Yellow Springs.

It was Ye Qingchen!

At this moment.

Yu Hongqing slowly raised his head, eyes locked forward, a hint of surprise flickering then turning into ecstatic joy. He laughed heartily, his body emitting thunderous rumblings like divine fire:

"Ye Qingchen, you've finally come! My wait of three months was not in vain! Your presence is even stronger than at Taotian Palace! I wonder how many moves you can withstand against me?"

Deafening sound crazily reverberated, echoing over Star Gathering Scattered Island, leaving crowds dizzy, as countless giant ships rocked like riding a raging sea!

"Yu Hongqing!"

Still standing between sea and sky, Ye Qingchen slowly looked up, eyes filled with wrath:

"During the last battle at Taotian Palace, I did not kill you, leading to this great disaster! Today, I will ensure that you, a treacherous disciple, are obliterated in both form and spirit!"

As his words fell.

Ye Qingchen squinted, lifted his hand and swung!

Boundless killing intent spread through the heavens and earth, shaking and opening!

With this strike, the world inverted, sun and moon lost their light!
