Chapter 1087 - 1086: Who Wins, Who Loses?

"You finally came out!"

Ye Qingchen slowly lifted his head to look.

The one who came.

It was Ye Xu Kong.

This old woman with a gaunt face and graying hair was filled with an aura of decay, but her eyes were full of murderous intent.

Taotian Palace had suffered too great a loss. Even if they managed to defend against Ye Qingchen in this battle, they would likely be heavily injured and decline, being excluded from the Thirty-Six Sects.

"Ye Qingchen, you were once a disciple of Taotian Palace. Do you truly wish to meet us on the battlefield?"

Ye Xu Kong said in a deep voice.

"Haha, when you pushed me step by step, did you ever care that I was a disciple of Taotian Palace?" Ye Qingchen clasped his hands behind his back, eyes cold: "Why do you remember now that I was a Taotian Palace disciple?"

When they suppressed him under the Valley of Life and Death, they didn't think of him as a Taotian Palace disciple!

When Marquis Guangjun personally went to the Extreme North to eliminate him, they didn't think of him as a Taotian Palace disciple!

When Yu Hongqing lured him back to the sect with Su Moran, they didn't think of him as a Taotian Palace disciple!

Now.

When Ye Qingchen returns for vengeance, only then do they remember he was a Taotian Palace disciple? Such heartlessness, there's no need to blame him for being ruthless!

Ye Xu Kong's expression did not change, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Ye Qingchen, are you truly intent on fighting Taotian Palace to the death?"

"Haha, Ye Xu Kong, show whatever tricks you have!" Ye Qingchen looked directly at her, "You've stayed hidden, preparing means to deal with me, haven't you? I want to see what cards you still hold!"

"Ye Qingchen, you're too arrogant!" Ye Xu Kong sneered coldly: "Taotian Palace's millennial foundation is beyond what a wild brat like you can imagine."

After speaking, she pulled out a horn, suddenly shouting:

"Rise!"

In an instant.

The entire Taotian Palace trembled violently, and the seven peaks, Void Peak, Piaomiao Peak, Celestial Moon Peak, and others, erupted with seven beams of brilliance, rapidly drawing vast Earth Vein Qi across the heavens. The immense Earth Vein Qi enveloped the entirety of Taotian Palace in an instant!

"What is that?"

At this moment, countless people exclaimed in shock.

From afar, the vast Earth Vein Qi seemed like seven dragons dancing around the heavens, looking down from the skies.

"This is Taotian Palace's Mountain Protection Array!"

Someone knowledgeable changed expression.

The crowd's expressions shifted slightly.

"Indeed, it is Taotian Palace's 'Seven Stars Celestial Dragon Array'!" A veteran squinted his eyes, "Taotian Palace has passed down for thousands of years, relying not only on the battle strength of successive Sect Leader Celestial Immortals but also on this array!"

"It is said that during the great battle between the righteous and the demonic paths, a Sect Leader of Taotian Palace fell. The Twelve Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness saw an opportunity and launched a massive attack on Taotian Palace, but were repelled by the array!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

These nine spectacular rainbows stretched from earth to sky, visible even throughout Southern Heaven. What a magnificent scene!

The disciples of Taotian Palace were brimming with confidence.

Now that Ye Xu Kong had activated the Mountain Protection Array, a formation that held the essence of Taotian Palace's thousands of years, a symbol of millennial honor capable of slaying Celestial Immortals, it would inevitably slay Ye Qingchen!

And at this moment, atop the mountain.

Ye Qingchen, hands on his back, gazed at the seven rainbows that rolled and surged forth. These rainbows were the culmination of thousands of years of array operation, continually drawing strength from the mountains, finally condensed. Each was tens of thousands of feet, like giant Divine Dragons, looking down on the mortal world!

This terrifying scene was just like a myth.

"Seven Stars Celestial Dragon Array?" Ye Qingchen, hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes.

"Precisely, this array was set up by Taotian Palace's founding ancestor, and has slain several Celestial Immortals!" Ye Xu Kong's eyes were cold, "Ye Qingchen, although you have committed a capital offense, considering you were once a Taotian Palace disciple, if you vow with your soul, I am willing to show great mercy!"

Lu Xingzhou, trembling, also spoke at this time, "Ye Qingchen, you should give up; you cannot possibly oppose the Seven Stars Celestial Dragon Array!"

The two advised earnestly.

Their faces full of an elder's pity for the younger generation, as if persuading a prodigal to return!

But Ye Qingchen laughed heartily:

"Ye Xu Kong, Lu Xingzhou, if it were someone else, they might truly be deceived by you. How could your petty tricks escape my eyes?"

Ye Qingchen laughed, yet his eyes grew colder:

"You would be merciful to me? In truth, you are merely suffering huge losses this time at Taotian Palace, and the two of you can't sustain it alone. So you wish to control me, to continue working for Taotian Palace!"

"I didn't expect you to not know impending death!"

Ye Qingchen lifted his head.

A head full of black hair flying wildly, robes fluttering with a fierce sound, divine light surged in the eyes.

"Hmph!"

Ye Xu Kong's face changed upon hearing this, but she immediately said harshly:

"Since you refuse, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The words fell.

She raised the tortoise shell in her hand, and the tortoise shell shattered, transforming into seven radiances, swiftly shooting into the seven beams of light in the sky. At the same time, Ye Xu Kong stomped fiercely, seemingly using all her strength, shouting:

"Seven Stars Celestial Dragon Array!"

Boom!

As the words fell, the seven rainbows winding in the sky were already crushing down in force.

"Crackle!"

Before the rainbows arrived, the all-encompassing power already poured down maddeningly. On Taotian Palace, countless palaces and trees were crushed and exploded crazily by this terrifying power, turning into countless debris.

"Ye Qingchen!"

"Today, with this array, I will show your world-shocking cultivation!"

Every word Ye Xu Kong uttered caused her breath to diminish, but the power of those seven rainbows increased sharply by threefold. Until, at last, the seven heaven-shocking rainbows almost merged into one, ferociously pressing down.

'Ye Qingchen, even if you are a Celestial Immortal, so what?'

Ye Xu Kong believed that even though Ye Qingchen was a Celestial Immortal, he could not resist this array.

She barely opened her eyes, using the last of her strength, wanting to see the scene of Ye Qingchen being crushed by the descending rainbows. Unexpectedly, she saw a sight she would never forget!

Just saw a green light piercing through heaven and earth, like a comet attacking a moon, suddenly sweeping away from Taotian Palace, crashing into the descending rainbow!

Within the green light, she vaguely saw Ye Qingchen's figure!

That figure was like a deity!

"Boom!"

An unprecedented loud noise roared over.

In Ye Xu Kong's incredulous gaze, the rainbow exploded fiercely, turning into a vast Qi Sea, swiftly sweeping across, and could be seen clearly even a hundred miles away.

And the people at the foot of the mountain were forced back in succession under this wave, as if standing in a monstrous wave!

"Creak!"

Everyone simultaneously looked up, gazing at the sky, witnessing an unbelievable scene.

The mountains where Taotian Palace was located seemed unable to bear the weight, suddenly splitting from the center with a mighty crash, then collapsing inward.

The Taotian Palace, which had existed for thousands of years, actually collapsed!

Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.

"Who won?"

But more people were concerned about the outcome of this battle.

"It must be Taotian Palace!" A disciple of Taotian Palace shouted loudly: "The Supreme Elder even activated the Mountain Protection Array, it must be able to crush Ye Qingchen!"

Everyone nodded slightly at these words.

In most people's eyes.

Ye Xu Kong activated the Seven Stars Celestial Dragon Array, detonating the Earth Vein Qi accumulated by Taotian Palace for thousands of years, even if Ye Qingchen had reached Celestial Immortal, he could not withstand it. Even if not dead, he would at least be seriously injured!

After all, the foundation of Taotian Palace for thousands of years was really too strong!

However.

Taotian Palace suffered a catastrophe this time, and it would surely be removed from the Thirty-Six Sects, and might even never recover!

However, more people were secretly delighted. After all, it was perfect for Taotian Palace to replace Ye Qingchen, this world-renowned demon, with its own strength.

While the disciples of Taotian Palace were secretly grieving, and many cultivators watching were wildly joyful, a voice suddenly came from the front:

"What are you so happy about?"

Everyone froze at the words, simultaneously looking up.

They saw a young man in green, with black hair, descending from above the heavens, as if stepping down a celestial ladder. At the moment of seeing him, everyone's face on the scene changed dramatically!

The one who came was Ye Qingchen!

In an instant.

The entire scene fell silent!
