Chapter 1088 - 1087: The Fall of Taotian Palace

"How is this possible?"

The disciples of Taotian Palace and the cultivators watching the battle simultaneously showed shock, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared at the figure walking down from the void.

Each step the figure took seemed to tread on everyone's hearts.

Clearly, it was Ye Xu Kong who activated the Mountain Protection Array, so why is Ye Qingchen the one who survived in the end?

"How could it be him?"

The disciples of Taotian Palace felt their limbs turn cold, filled with anxiety and fear.

Because.

The appearance of Ye Qingchen basically signified that the overall situation was decided, and the final victor was not their Taotian Palace, but Ye Qingchen!

"Ye Qingchen, how could it be you? Where are Supreme Elder Ye Xu Kong and Lu Xingzhou?"

At this moment, a loud voice rang out.

They saw an elder with a long beard holding his sword at his waist, glaring angrily at Ye Qingchen. The intent to kill burst forth from his body like a tide, sweeping fiercely.

Under this murderous intent, the cultivators watching couldn't help but pause, and some with shallower cultivation turned pale.

Taotian Palace's Second Elder, Lu Shentong!

Earth Immortal Eighth Layer!

Without a Celestial Immortal present, Lu Shentong's level of cultivation was extremely strong even in the entire Kunlun Realm, otherwise, he couldn't have been the Second Elder in Taotian Palace. How powerful was his aura?

But unfortunately, he was facing Ye Qingchen!

"Hmph, what are you? Dare to speak to me like this?"

Ye Qingchen narrowed his eyes and coldly glanced over.

Lu Shentong saw this, his expression changed drastically, and as he was about to defend himself, he felt a sudden explosion in his mind, his soul seemingly torn apart. Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Lu Shentong's body immediately went limp, collapsing to the ground, completely silent!

Gasp!

Witnessing this, everyone present felt their scalp go numb, horrified.

The battle on Taotian Palace earlier, although fought fiercely, even led to the complete collapse of Taotian Palace, was ultimately not witnessed firsthand.

But now, seeing an Earth Immortal Eighth Layer expert being instantly killed in front of Ye Qingchen without even a chance to react, they understood the terrifying nature of this Fierce God!

"Second Elder!"

The many disciples of Taotian Palace cried out in pain, tears flowing.

"Mr. Ye, Ye Xu Kong and Lu Xingzhou are the Supreme Elders of Taotian Palace, so Lu Shentong's concern is understandable!" A cultivator watching the battle mustered courage and stepped forward to speak.

At the same time, there was a faint look of expectation in his eyes, seemingly guessing the outcome of this battle.

And everyone else also gazed over.

"Ye Xu Kong and Lu Xingzhou are already dead!"

Ye Qingchen's eyes narrowed, revealing indifferent pupils.

Seeing the varied expressions of shock, grief, and sighs, he continued:

"Taotian Palace first expelled me from the sect, then tried multiple times to ambush and kill me. Now I have completely erased Taotian Palace."

"From today on, there is no more Taotian Palace!"

"Although I've killed countless in my life, I've never implicated innocent people. But if anyone tries to resurrect Taotian Palace's name, I will kill without mercy!"

"Do you understand?"

With these words, many Taotian Palace stewards and elders couldn't hold on anymore, directly kneeling down in tears. They didn't know how many years they had lived in Taotian Palace, and hearing it was completely erased, their minds went blank.

Others remained silent, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

It's likely.

Even the high-levels of Taotian Palace couldn't imagine in their dreams that a disciple who once belonged to Taotian Palace would forcibly erase this sect from the Kunlun Realm!

Taotian Palace held itself in high regard, never considering Ye Qingchen important, yet now it was completely erased.

Undeniably, it is a huge irony!

Ye Qingchen crossed his arms behind his back.

He looked around.

Whether they were once high-levels of Taotian Palace or powerful figures like the Hidden Mountain Tiger, all were at this moment terrified, lowering their heads in submission.

Having witnessed Ye Qingchen easily kill an Earth Immortal Eighth Layer expert, what chance did they have?

The fierce wind howled, dust rolling.

The crowd remained bowing, kneeling for a full incense time, and only when they no longer heard Ye Qingchen's voice did someone finally dare to lift their heads, realizing Ye Qingchen had long left.

"Whew, scared me to death! I thought Ye the Demon would go on a rampage, seeking revenge after autumn, killing us all!"

Someone climbed up in shock, only to find their back drenched in cold sweat.

...

When the news spread out.

For a time, the Thirty-Six Sects were all shaken.

You must know.

Many still thought Ye Qingchen was lingering in the East Sea Star Extreme Scattered Islands, but who could have imagined that Ye Qingchen had already returned to Southern Heaven. Not only returned but within one day, with startling speed, completely exterminated the thousands-years-old Taotian Palace.

Although Taotian Palace had suffered several losses, losing five Supreme Elders and a Celestial Immortal Sect Leader, the sect's strength remained intact. Especially with the Mountain Protection Array, it should at least hold off Ye Qingchen for a while.

Furthermore, the Thirty-Six Sects, with mutual defense and attacks, would not fear Ye Qingchen.

But who would have thought.

In just one day, even with the Mountain Protection Array activated, they couldn't stop Ye Qingchen, and Taotian Palace was still completely erased! The high-levels were all wiped out, the once great Taotian Palace leveled, not even giving the Thirty-Six Sects a chance to aid!

This made the Thirty-Six Sects, who intended to observe Ye Qingchen's strength, feel cold in their hearts.

For a time.

Great Southern Heaven was utterly shaken.

Everywhere spread the following dialog:

"Did you hear? Ye the Demon has returned to Southern Heaven!"

"What? Wasn't he in the East Sea? When did he return?"

"Just today! He went straight to Taotian Palace! It's said Ye Xu Kong even activated the 'Seven Stars Celestial Dragon Array' to perish together with Ye Qingchen but still failed in the end!"

"A millennium foundation of Taotian Palace couldn't even withstand Ye the Demon for a day?"

"Not only that, Taotian Palace has been delisted... Ye the Demon didn't go on a killing spree, but he stated that anyone attempting to resurrect Taotian Palace's name will be killed without mercy!"

"Gods, this is Taotian Palace! One of the Thirty-Six Sects! Yet it was destroyed like this!"

For a time, this chilling news spread everywhere.

At the same time.

Southern Heaven.

Border.

In a tavern.

Chen Lan raised his head, with eyes full of deep shock.

And beside him, Zhou Su felt an icy chill all over. Although he had long speculated that once Ye Qingchen returned, Southern Heaven would surely be engulfed in a storm of bloodshed. But he never thought everything would happen so quickly!
