Chapter 1076 - 1075: Unmatched in This Era

Silence!

In the vast world, a dead silence pervaded.

Yu Hongqing was dead.

This man who crossed the sea with a boundless momentum, capturing Su Moran, suppressing the entire East Sea as the Sect Leader of Taotian Palace, a Celestial Immortal so powerful it brought despair, was now dead, killed on the East Sea by Ye Qingchen.

In the minds of everyone present, the influence Yu Hongqing wielded over the past three months hadn't yet faded, and this sudden turn of events left everyone feeling caught off guard!

In the eyes of the crowd.

Ye Qingchen coming to challenge seemed like a death wish.

Everyone had contemplated various possibilities.

However.

No one had foreseen such an outcome.

Including Yu Hongqing, five Celestial Immortals had already been buried in this East Sea!

Du Tingyu and Luo Lin'an were stunned, unable to believe it.

Su Moran covered his mouth with ecstatic joy, unknowingly, tears had already filled his face.

Among those present, many Half-Step Celestial Immortals and Top-level Earth Immortals were deeply shocked, feeling they had misjudged time and again. This young man's strength had exceeded any ordinary person's imagination.

More people gazed deeply at the young man between the sea and sky.

"Invincible under heaven!"

In that moment.

Such thoughts involuntarily surfaced in everyone's minds.

Six months ago.

Ye Qingchen came to the East Sea; although he had already made a great name for himself in Southern Heaven, in the eyes of those from Star Gathering Scattered Island, he seemed like a stray dog, easy to deal with.

Yet soon after, Ye Qingchen wielded a heaven-shocking momentum, slaying Celestial Immortals consecutively, announcing to the world that an invincible powerhouse had emerged. Even the most rebellious beings would bow before this slayer of Celestial Immortals.

Ye Qingchen stood between sea and sky, slowly straightening his body.

With every breath, every inhalation, the vast Spiritual Qi between the heavens and earth gathered towards him, rejuvenating his fatigued body, and his aura gradually recovering.

Witnessing this scene.

Among the strong watching, no one dared make a sound at the sea and sky.

Especially when Ye Qingchen's gaze swept over them, those around lowered their heads, expressing reverence towards this newly minted legend. No matter how dissatisfied or resentful they felt, with Yu Hongqing's fall, it all completely dissipated.

From this day forth.

No one would ever underestimate this young man again.

Under countless reverent gazes, Ye Qingchen took steps through the void, slowly turning away.

"A battle for the ages!"

"To witness such a battle, no regrets for life!"

On the reef.

The elder clenched his fist, feeling his blood boil with excitement.

Beside him, his tiger-headed disciple already showed infinite yearning in his eyes.

...

With numerous cultivators dispersing, news of this battle spread like a hurricane, instantly through the entire East Sea, even at an extreme speed towards the Kunlun Realm.

In that moment.

The entire East Sea fell silent.

Ye Qingchen had won!

He publicly slew Yu Hongqing!

Breaking the world Yu Hongqing once dominated, executing its master!

Furthermore.

When news of the battle within the Enchanting Sea Region spread, it shocked everyone greatly.

"What?"

"Ye Qingchen actually slew the formidable Celestial Immortal trio Buddha, Cloud Fire Tide, and Yin Tianhao within the Enchanting Sea Region? That means, five Celestial Immortals have fallen to Ye Qingchen's hand!"

Boom!

Such revelations left countless in terror.

For ordinary people, Earth Immortals were already supreme beings, and Celestial Immortals were like divine beings from primeval myths, elusive as the Divine Dragon, seen only in legends and chronicles.

Yet, such divine existences had been consecutively slain by Ye Qingchen.

Inconceivable.

Previously.

With two Thirty-Six Sect experts fallen, everyone was unsure and hesitant, watching and waiting.

But now, with the spread of information, Southern Heaven vibrated with shock, as if an earthquake had erupted.

It is said, the Thirty-Six Sects swiftly recalled their scattered experts to discuss the consequences of Yu Hongqing's demise. Yu Hongqing represented not just a branch of Taotian Palace, but a terrifying implication behind it.

No one dared to provoke the revenge of a Celestial South Fierce God!

...

Vajra Temple.

Under the eight-thousand-foot Buddha.

A gaunt old monk sat curled, his gaze despondent.

Beside him, many high monks of Vajra Temple gathered, yet they were all silent, none dared to speak, dwelling in deathly quiet.

The message from the East Sea was truly shocking.

Originally.

Everyone heard Yu Hongqing personally went to the East Sea to kill Ye Qingchen, with much criticism. After all, that Fierce God was declared an enemy of Buddha, supposed to be dealt with by the Buddhist sects personally. Many hot-tempered martial monks even volunteered to go and slay Ye Qingchen.

But with the spread of news from the East Sea, no one would utter such words anymore.

"This Fierce God's strength has gone beyond what a person can imagine!"

The old monk sighed.

Everyone heard and bowed their heads.

Five Celestial Immortals!

Just this single piece of news made people's scalp tingle, hearts filled with despair. No matter how explosive their personality, how unyielding their stance, in this moment, no one raised thoughts of revenge.

...

Infinite Sect.

Everyone watched the silver-haired old man seated above the throne, long silent.

...

Cyan Flame Sect.

Inside the Demon Fire Furnace, flames leapt and burned fiercely.

But each heart was cold as a glacier.

...

Not only at Vajra Temple, but at Daluo Sect, Thunder Shock Sect, Sword Vein Sect, Cloud Mist Sect... all were the same.

Simultaneously.

Taotian Palace.

Elder Peak.

Ye Xu Kong and Lu Xingzhou faced each other as they sat.

In the battle of Southern Heaven, the Thirty-Six Sects saw Taotian Palace suffer the most. Su Moran defected, five of the seven Supreme Elders fell, leaving only these two. Now even the Sect Leader died at the East Sea!

"A great mistake indeed!"

The two exchanged glances, seeing deep regret in each other's eyes.

Who could have thought a moment's decision would bring such terrifying consequences? Had they known, why would they have desperately tried to kill Ye Qingchen back then?

"Supreme Elders, how should we proceed next?"

"Ye Qingchen has formed a mortal feud with Taotian Palace; if he returns from the East Sea, his first battle will naturally be against us! With the Sect Leader dead, how do we resist?"

A voice quietly asked from an elder.

Indeed!

Terror shone in everyone's eyes, Ye Qingchen was clear in his grudges; Taotian Palace dared treat him like that, would he spare Taotian Palace?

Without any Celestial Immortals, who could face this Fierce God?

"No need to worry, though Ye Qingchen is strong, Taotian Palace is not simply his plaything!" Ye Xu Kong stood up, cold glints emerging in his eyes: "Taotian Palace has thousands of years of essence! To destroy Taotian Palace, I'd like to see if he truly has that capability!"
