Chapter 1519: Chapter 1518: Astonishment

"What, speechless now? You try to frighten me with such nonsense, do you think I’ve wasted thousands of years living in vain?"

Tianyuan Ancestor saw Hong Ye’s silence and thought his lies were exposed, leaving him speechless, which only fueled his arrogance further.

Upon hearing this, Hong Ye merely snorted coldly. She couldn’t be bothered to deal with this old man; with his meager strength and vision, he couldn’t possibly understand Ling Chen’s level. If Ling Chen hadn’t intervened himself, she would have already replaced him and eliminated this old fool.

"Indeed, you’ve lived in vain for these past millennia."

Hong Ye said nothing, but Ling Chen continued, gazing indifferently at Tianyuan Ancestor, "At least you were once a Saint, yet now you act like a tyrant, and you dare say these thousands of years weren’t like living like a dog."

"Shut up!"

Tianyuan Ancestor’s face suddenly turned grim; what kind of creature was Ling Chen to dare criticize him? His eyes flashed coldly, and the next moment, his hands swiftly formed seals, with vast true energy surging madly. Between his hand seals, a blue sphere of true energy was suddenly condensed!

Seeing Tianyuan Ancestor’s skill, even Feng Piaoliu couldn’t help but have his pupils shrink. This move was the same one Tianyuan Ancestor used against him earlier, and it still left him with some lingering fear.

Zzzzt zzzzt zzzzt!

Under the frantic infusion of true energy, the true energy sphere suddenly expanded, growing from human head-sized to several feet in diameter. The power was evidently multiple times greater than before!

"Oh no!"

Feng Piaoliu’s expression changed dramatically, not expecting Tianyuan Ancestor to have retained so much strength; his power was unfathomable!

"Die, you arrogant ant boy!"

Tianyuan Ancestor’s face was full of cruel smiles; he originally didn’t want to use all his power, but Ling Chen’s arrogance was infuriating, and after defeating Ling Chen, he planned to capture Hong Ye for his pleasure.

With this thought, Tianyuan Ancestor’s eyes flashed coldly. Immediately, he formed seals with both hands and launched the massive blue true energy sphere, like a star racing through the sky, roaring loudly, spinning at high speed, and shooting fiercely towards Ling Chen!

"Ling Chen, be careful!"

Seeing the exceptionally vast true energy sphere shooting toward Ling Chen, Xiao Muyu’s beautiful eyes flashed with deep worry as she warned him.

"Don’t worry, Sister. Your junior brother is not so incompetent."

Ling Chen turned his head, gave Xiao Muyu a faint smile, as if he didn’t even notice Tianyuan Ancestor’s attack.

"This..."

Everyone’s eyelids twitched violently; clearly, Tianyuan Ancestor’s overwhelming attack was about to fall on Ling Chen, yet he paid no mind, still chatting and laughing with Xiao Muyu — this was recklessly overconfident...

"Die!"

Tianyuan Ancestor knew full well the power of his attack; seeing Ling Chen not only unprepared but even joking with Xiao Muyu, he was courting death.

No sooner said than done, the blue true energy sphere appeared less than a meter before Ling Chen in the blink of an eye, ready to explode, bringing everyone’s hearts to their throats.

But just then, Ling Chen finally moved.

No extraneous movements, Ling Chen merely raised his palm, seemingly slowly, yet just at the moment the blue sphere shot forth, he raised his palm right up to press on the star-like blue true energy sphere shooting over.

"He’s actually catching it barehanded?"

Xiao Muyu and Lin Ya, being close, couldn’t help but open their mouths; such powerful attack, catching it barehanded, would he lose his hand?

Yet when the blue sphere contacted Ling Chen’s palm, the expected terrifying explosion did not occur. The rapidly spinning blue sphere’s swiftness suddenly slowed down, almost coming to an abrupt stop. Concurrently, the strong power emanating from the blue sphere was suppressed, the whole sphere, like an ordinary ball, was held in Ling Chen’s hand without any special properties.

"How could it be?"

Seeing this, Feng Piaoliu and others couldn’t help but have their pupils contract sharply; Tianyuan Ancestor’s ultimate move was so casually caught by Ling Chen?

"Impossible!"

Tianyuan Ancestor’s smile abruptly ceased, replaced by disbelief; this blue sphere was his full power strike, condensing ten at full force. Even if his current strength was less than before, killing a strong person below the Saint level should be effortless!

Could it be Ling Chen’s cultivation was above the Saint level?

Impossible!

How could there be such an exceptional being in a small place like Cloud Outland? There must be some mistake!

"Tianyuan Ancestor, is this your supposed ultimate move?"

Ling Chen’s lips curled with a mocking expression, and his gaze fell on the blue sphere. Amid the astonished looks, Ling Chen actually brought the blue sphere to his mouth, opened wide, and bit off a large chunk of energy from the sphere, "gulping" it down!

Everyone on the scene, except Hong Ye, was petrified, like being thunderstruck, unable to utter a word.

"Hmm, tastes pretty good."

Under the incredibly shocked gazes, Ling Chen continued nibbling at the blue sphere, like it was cotton candy, quickly devouring the sphere entirely, leaving nothing behind.

"He actually ate it all?"

Feng Piaoliu, Liu Feiyue, and others were at a loss for words to describe their shock; the only thought in their minds was whether Ling Chen was still human.

Was this really the Ling Chen they knew, or was he a monster wearing human skin?

"What kind of monster is this boy?"

At this moment, Tianyuan Ancestor’s eyes were devoid of any contempt, filled entirely with gravity. Now he saw something was wrong, and at this point, if he still held contempt for Ling Chen, he must have a screw loose.
