Chapter 1086 - 1085: Death with Every Step

Ye Qingchen stood in Taotian Palace!

His black hair fluttered, eyes radiating a brilliant azure, Qi blood surging like furious waves, True Qi appearing like a sea of stars, as if a Celestial God had descended.

In an instant.

The crowd in the hall was bewildered, as if transported back to when Ye Qingchen crushed the inner sect, suppressed Void Peak, soaring heroically over nine thousand miles. And back then, Ye Qingchen was merely a Human Immortal.

But now, he has attained the path of Celestial Immortal!

"Can Taotian Palace really withstand Ye Qingchen?"

Lu Xingzhou did not know.

But the next moment.

The battle had already begun.

"Rip!"

The tributor of Taotian Palace, led by seven Half-Step Celestial Immortals, had already fiercely taken action at this moment.

Wu Fazheng, clad in a black robe, surrounded by surging True Qi.

Wu Fazheng hailed from the Three Imperial Capitals of Central City, like Lei Jingyu, was an Array Master. But now, facing Ye Qingchen, he stretched out ten fingers, entwining them in the air.

In an instant, nine enormous chains formed and converged. Each chain was thousands of feet long, akin to ferocious black pythons. As they emerged, they frantically swept towards Ye Qingchen!

This was precisely Wu Fazheng's renowned technique:

"Immortal Binding Rope!"

An array that could imprison immortals!

With this technique, he once captured a Half-Step Celestial Immortal with just one chain, rendering them unable to escape. Now, with nine chains deployed, even a Celestial Immortal, even this slice of heaven and earth, would be utterly sealed!

And at this moment.

Another Half-Step Celestial Immortal, Zhao Chuanxiong, had already gripped the enormous battle axe he carried on his shoulder.

Zhao Chuanxiong came from the Western Wilderness, a Body Refining Loose Cultivator, towering at seven feet tall, his skin dark as if half-awakened Asura. The battle axe was even larger than an ordinary person, like a windmill, forged by Zhao Chuanxiong from rare copper and iron around the world. Even a strand of it weighed over a hundred pounds.

Now swung by him, infused with the force of ten thousand pounds, slashing down fiercely, the terrifying whistling sound seemingly communicated to everyone that even a mountain range would be easily cleaved in two by him.

"Rise!"

Another Half-Step Celestial Immortal, Hu Tiancheng, already narrowed his eyes, molding hand seals.

In a flash, gusts gathered rapidly, forming countless Wind Swords in the air. These Wind Swords numbered not merely in thousands, each one razor-sharp, glinting coldly, each possessing the power to annihilate Earth Immortals! In an instant, Taotian Palace turned into an Asura Killing Field.

As he waved his hand, the myriad Wind Swords bombarded like a hailstorm.

At this moment.

Other Half-Step Celestial Immortals and top-level Human Immortals also swiftly deployed their most formidable techniques. Several even forcibly unleashed secret techniques equivalent to a celestial strike!

These powerful figures were the most formidable in Southern Heaven, their strength and status akin to Ye Xu Kong and Lu Xingzhou, the Supreme Elders. This kind of formation was the very reason Taotian Palace dared to challenge Ye Qingchen!

"Bang!"

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught, Ye Qingchen lightly struggled, merely hearing the 'crack-crack' sound of the immobilizing chains that could bind a Half-Step Celestial Immortal breaking.

"Ah!"

With his technique disrupted, Wu Fazheng suffered critical damage, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"How is this possible?"

His eyes were filled with shock.

As if unable to believe the nine Immortal Binding Ropes could not restrain Ye Qingchen in the slightest.

At this time, after Ye Qingchen shattered the Immortal Binding Ropes, he lightly extended his right hand, touching Zhao Chuanxiong's descending battle axe. Under everyone's stunned gaze, the battle axe, capable of splitting heaven and earth, crumbled under his finger.

The shattered axe blade, under his finger's residual force, flew back like Flying Locust Crossbow Arrows, instantly piercing Zhao Chuanxiong's body, lifeless even before hitting the ground.

Then, facing the overwhelming sword rain, he merely waved his hand lightly.

"Crack!"

The sword rain in the sky, under this wave, vanished instantly like snow in spring, silently reduced to nothing. Countless bubbles burst simultaneously in an instant.

At the same time, Hu Tiancheng's body shook, chest suddenly sunken, and the corresponding position on his back bulged with a palm print, blood from his entire body surging out through the imprint.

Then he lifted his hand for a light tap.

An immense force rapidly cascaded down, slamming numerous top-level Earth Immortals who came stepping on seven stars to the ground from mid-air. The terrifying force pulverized them, without pause, creating a crater several hundred feet wide in the earth.

This crater was a massive palm print, vividly detailed!

Then.

Joined his fingers into a sword, slicing lightly.

Amidst the gusts, a vivid green Wind Blade instantly swept out.

"Crack!"

The enormous ancient tree before Ye Qingchen snapped with a smooth cut, the Wind Blade relentless, slicing through distant palaces, chopping forests like cutting chives.

The terrifying Wind Blade extended beyond Taotian Palace, even cutting a mountain peak over a thousand feet under its edge! Amidst thunderous crashes, the mountain peak crumbled violently!

At the forefront, several Half-Step Celestial Immortals did not even have time to scream before being cleaved in half on the spot! Blood rained down like a storm!

The entire venue fell silent.

The cultivators arriving from all directions, witnessing this scene, were all stunned. Even Lu Xingzhou was speechless, trembling.

It was as if an invisible large blade surged out from Ye Qingchen, sweeping across forests, cleaving continuous buildings, then splitting peaks. From beneath Ye Qingchen, it spread to the mountain peak, extending tens of miles!

The power of a mere finger, terrifyingly immense!

"Clang!"

With Ye Qingchen raising his head, the remaining cultivators could no longer contain their fear, dropping their weapons with 'clang', 'clang', and kneeling prostrate on the ground.

Too strong!

Ye Qingchen, amidst Taotian Palace's formidable encirclement, nearly in a flash, slew nine Half-Step Celestial Immortals, dozens of top-level Earth Immortals, without taking a single step!

This power was akin to a deity.

How could they not be startled? How could they not fear? How could they not tremble?

"Is Ye Xu Kong still not coming out?" Ye Qingchen's gaze swept around, shaking his head slowly: "It seems Taotian Palace will lose another of its seven Supreme Elders today!"

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhou despairingly closed his eyes awaiting death, knowing that despite his abilities, he couldn't withstand Ye Qingchen!

"Stop!"

Yet at this moment, a soft shout came from afar, though echoing from deep within Taotian Palace, resonating in everyone's ears.

Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head.

Seeing a white-haired old woman stepping out from the void!

The one who came.

Was indeed the last of Taotian Palace's seven Supreme Elders, Ye Xu Kong!
