Chapter 1049 - 1048: Heaven-Fighting Immortal

When Ye Qingchen unleashed this punch!

It was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting!

The blade of Zou Ji Dao, like a tidal wave capable of submerging everything, was directly broken open by Ye Qingchen. And the 'Wanghai' blade, stained with the blood of countless Earth Immortals, was even shattered in half.

"Bang!"

Ye Qingchen's fist struck directly, pounding Zou Ji Dao's chest.

"Pfft!"

Zou Ji Dao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his chest caved in, and the ground below him could no longer hold. The already precarious Hidden Dragon Island let out a creaking wail of devastation, shaking violently from its core.

"Not good!"

"Hidden Dragon Island is going to collapse!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Cries rang out.

Everyone on the island scrambled to flee. Then, they turned back and witnessed an unbelievable sight.

The vast Hidden Dragon Island, as if unable to bear the weight, directly collapsed from its center, seawater surged frantically, engulfing one building after another. In just the blink of an eye, the entire Hidden Dragon Island was torn apart!

Countless people were dumbfounded.

"Mr. Ye won?"

Luo Lin'an was so excited he almost jumped.

Su Moran and Bai Ji, who had been worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

"Zou Ji Dao, defeated?"

The leaders of the Seventy-Two Islands were all visibly grim.

This battle.

Zou Ji Dao had used all his strength, yet he was still relentlessly suppressed by Ye Qingchen from the start, barely having a chance to retaliate. His power was astoundingly beyond imagination!

To make a move, must they all join forces?

A chill went through the gazes of the crowd.

Some even clenched their fists, their aura circulating, as if ready to strike at any moment.

"Wait, something's not right!"

Just then.

The master of Fish Dragon Island, Zheng Hao, suddenly spoke.

Everyone quickly looked over.

They saw Ye Qingchen's face didn't carry the joy of defeating Zou Ji Dao, but instead had a trace of solemnity. As everyone was puzzled, an enormous force suddenly erupted from beneath the calm sea, like a heaven-shocking tsunami!

More at the same time.

The previously clear sky suddenly filled with thick clouds. An immense whirlpool-like dark cloud swirled turbulently!

Ye Qingchen retreated like a great bird, gliding across the sky and lightly landing on the sea surface hundreds of feet away. At the same time, a figure slowly emerged under his feet:

"Haha, Ye Qingchen, thank you!"

The figure was none other than Zou Ji Dao.

He stood in the void, using no force at all, seemingly integrated with heaven and earth. Though his hair was disheveled, his chest caved in, and blood stained the corner of his mouth, his face carried not defeat but joy.

"Celestial Immortal?"

Ye Qingchen's brows slightly furrowed.

"Indeed!" Zou Ji Dao said with a smile, "If it weren't for your punch, I wouldn't have so easily stepped into Celestial Immortal! I said I would use your blood as the stepping stone to Celestial Immortal!"

"What is going on?"

All the spectators were dumbfounded.

Although.

Zou Ji Dao's physique hadn't changed. But in their eyes, he now appeared gigantic, like a titan between heaven and earth! A terrifying pressure surged wildly from his body!

"This is a Celestial Immortal!"

"Zou Ji Dao has become a Celestial Immortal!"

"So that's how it is!" Zheng Hao squinted his eyes, "He's using Ye Qingchen as a stepping stone!"

One must know.

Achieving a breakthrough in the realm cannot be separated from opportunity and insight.

During a life-and-death moment, one achieves great enlightenment. To succeed is to live, to fail is to die; evidently, Zou Ji Dao crossed the line of life and death! Proving the Celestial Immortal!

"Boom!"

This moment.

Zou Ji Dao finally made a move.

He didn't use any magic or Divine Techniques, nor did he recall the shattered 'Wanghai' blade. He merely raised a hand to grab. Instantly, the seawater beneath him boiled like thousands of horses, rushing towards Ye Qingchen.

At this moment, in the spectators' eyes, a boundless wave surged, reaching the sky above, standing over the raging sea below! The power of this raised hand shook the void, its might hundreds of times stronger than before!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The scattered reefs, under this monstrous wave, were directly crushed into powder!

The overwhelming force made everyone change color in shock.

However.

In response, Ye Qingchen showed no fear; instead, he expressed a hint of disdain:

"Just a half-baked Celestial Immortal! Compared to Yu Hongqing of that day, it's not even close!"

"Today, I'm going to kill a Celestial Immortal, and show the world!"

Boom!

Ye Qingchen clenched his hand into a fist, gathered his True Qi and Qi Blood, and slammed forward fiercely!

This palm strike turned the world upside down, the sun and moon trembled, and endless thunder resounded in the void. The terrifying giant wave shuddered tremendously, sinking rapidly, revealing a terrifying palm imprint.

Amidst the terrifying sound, the giant wave dispersed and exploded!

Bam!

Zou Ji Dao's body shivered, stepping back unexpectedly once again.

"How is this possible?"

Zou Ji Dao suddenly raised his head, eyes full of incredulity.

He initially thought that after stepping into Celestial Immortal, he could easily slay Ye Qingchen. Yet, unexpectedly, he still couldn't do anything to him.

"I said it before, so what if you are a Celestial Immortal?"

Ye Qingchen sneered with disdain.

Indeed!

Upon stepping into Celestial Immortal, the power to command the Power of Heaven and Earth does become more expansive. Previously, Zou Ji Dao could control up to eight hundred miles of heaven and earth, and he needed to use all his cultivation.

Upon entering Celestial Immortal, the control range reached thousands of miles, and as cultivation increased, this range would become even larger!

But in Ye Qingchen's eyes.

This terrifying force is indeed huge, but it hasn't gathered at a single point. It's like an ordinary person wielding a Supreme Divine Soldier, yet not knowing how to use it, still riddled with flaws!

"I don't believe it!"

Zou Ji Dao roared and took a bold step forward.

Suddenly, the sea surface rose up, forming a colossal wave. The wave contorted, revealing Zou Ji Dao's visage; just a face alone was as large as half of Hidden Dragon Island.

Such a scene, witnessed only once in a lifetime, was like the Sea God descending, awakening from the depths of the East Sea.

For a moment, everyone witnessing the battle was petrified as if seeing a celestial being.

The Human Immortals present were trembling and prostrating, even lacking the courage to look directly, like ants. Even many Earth Immortals were barely maintaining their composure.

"So this is a Celestial Immortal! This is the Realm that we all have dreamt of pursuing!"

Gazing at the face rising upon the huge wave, countless top-level Earth Immortals longed in fascination.

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Qingchen showed no fear, charging forward again.

Zou Ji Dao remained expressionless as the giant wave roiled, the massive face opened its huge mouth, and devoured Ye Qingchen, imprisoning him within!

Boom!

But within merely three instances, Ye Qingchen had already broken through the giant wave, soaring upwards.

Then Zou Ji Dao raised his hand, and the shattered giant waves turned into thousands of long blades, like a rain of bullets, blasting towards Ye Qingchen. But Ye Qingchen waved his hand, and a mighty force poured out, countering them with even more ferocity.

The crashing sound of clash resounded, endless long blades shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of raining fragments. The vast East Sea, at this moment, was stirred into a stormy sea, blood rain and grim winds.

Zou Ji Dao having such force wasn't surprising, but for Ye Qingchen, only at the Earth Immortal Seventh Layer, to have such power had already surpassed everyone's imagination.

Even though Zou Ji Dao stepped into Celestial Immortal, he couldn't suppress Ye Qingchen!

"Bang!"

The right hand flipped, pressing down a rising giant wave, no matter how Zou Ji Dao controlled it, couldn't stir any waves. Ye Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, sneering coldly:

"Zou Ji Dao, if this Celestial Immortal Power is your final card, then you should prepare to die!"

If he had stepped into Celestial Immortal for years and fully mastered this power, even with Ye Qingchen's ultimate techniques, he couldn't counter him!

But for now.

A half-baked Celestial Immortal isn't worth fearing.

"I'm starting to regret coming here!" Zou Ji Dao gazed at the calm, unwavering sea surface like an ancient well, with a trace of bitterness appearing on his face.

Ye Qingchen could feel it, how could he not?

However, he slowly shook his head:

"But you killed my only son, insulted my Cyan Cloud Island, and diminished my prestige! If I don't come, how can I live up to my title as the underground dragon head? Live up to my centuries-long foundation in the East Sea? Live up to my cultivation?"

Zou Ji Dao slowly raised his head, his long hair billowing, eyes emitting an electric glow, his face indescribably furious:

"Ye Qingchen, you are called the Celestial South Fierce God! I bet all my cultivation, bet all my millennia of hard work, bet all my life's honor! I wonder if you dare to duel with me to the death!"

Ye Qingchen quietly looked at him.

"Alright!"

After speaking.

All around, the Spiritual Qi surged fiercely!
