Nine Revolutions Star Technique

The Desperate Killing Array has been broken!

The Sealing Shock of the East Sea has been shattered!

Ye Qingchen broke through the encirclement of the Thirty-Six Sects, killing seven people in the process, and eventually escaped into the East Sea! Qiu Qingxuan of Sunset Sect, Cao Ran of Heaven-Flipping Sect, Cao Ao of Celestial Martial Sect, Ran Hang of Cloud Mist Sect...

The news of seven Half-Step Celestial Immortals falling simultaneously instantly shocked all of Southern Heaven and even swept across the entire Kunlun Realm.

Just one seasoned Earth Immortal can ensure a family’s prosperity for a millennium. A top-level Earth Immortal can establish a sect. And a Half-Step Celestial Immortal is among the peak of Land Immortals. Each one is a top expert who once enjoyed fame throughout the Kunlun Realm, leaving countless legends behind! It’s fair to say, each one is a living myth!

No matter who they are or which power they visit, they are absolute honored guests. Even the Thirty-Six Sects must treat them with utmost respect!

However now.

Seven have fallen at once, all at the hands of the same person.

”Unbeatable, Ye Qingchen is truly unbeatable! This was the joint effort of the Thirty-Six Sects, a Desperate Killing Bureau meant to suppress all of Southern Heaven. Even a Celestial Immortal wouldn’t dare to confidently escape unscathed under such circumstances!

Yet he, accompanied by Su Moran, forcefully withstood the siege of dozens of Half-Step Celestial Immortals and fled into the East Sea! This kind of achievement is something anyone would boast of for a lifetime!”

Countless people marveled.

Keep in mind.

The Taotian Palace battle, although unexpected, was considered understandable by everyone. After all, at that time, Ye Qingchen’s cards were unknown, and Taotian Palace arrogantly underestimated him!

However, this battle truly shocked everyone.

...

And the entirety of the Thirty-Six Sects in Southern Heaven was left speechless.

Whether it was the Taotian Palace, Vajra Temple, Cyan Flame Sect, Daluo Sect, or Infinite Sect... all were plunged into deep silence at this moment.

When Ye Qingchen stomped on the Thirty-Six Sects at the Martial Arts Conference, they still believed he was unparalleled yet not invincible.

When he slaughtered through Taotian Palace, abducted Su Moran, and severely injured Yu Hongqing, everyone thought he was merely relying on unorthodox means. Although deemed a peerless demon, he was thought to still be captured.

But this time, when the Thirty-Six Sects joined forces and laid down the Heaven and Earth Net, Ye Qingchen still fought against the crowd, slaying seven Half-Step Celestial Immortals. This is an undeniable achievement, proving he already possesses the terrifying strength to shake an entire sect with just one person!

However now.

The other forces, sects, and families in Southern Heaven were fully stirred up.

”I originally thought the alliance of the Thirty-Six Sects was an unprecedented feat. But I didn’t expect Ye Qingchen to kill his way out right under their noses!”

”This is the true First Earth Immortal!”

Someone exclaimed excitedly.

Countless people were shocked.

”However, very soon, Ye Qingchen this First Earth Immortal will become history!”

Another responded.

”What do you mean?”

Someone was puzzled.

”During the Black Water River battle, Ye Qingchen indeed displayed a heaven-shocking momentum. Although the encirclement by Thirty-Six Sects was broken, it doesn’t mean this battle is over!”

Someone who witnessed the battle declared:

”Ye Qingchen is indeed heading to Star Gathering Scattered Island. But the journey is long, and the sea vast and boundless. In the battle with the Thirty-Six Sects, he is already exhausted. Boro and others are pursuing as well; can Ye Qingchen survive to make it to Star Gathering Scattered Island?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

That’s right!

This battle is not over yet, it’s too soon to draw conclusions!

Moreover!

The ensuing pursuit continues!

In fact, the pursuit is even fiercer than the siege at Black Water River, with the Thirty-Six Sects launching a tidal wave of attacks. Although Ye Qingchen is extremely powerful, he is only one person.

How can he face such an onslaught like a mercury flood?

...

Taotian Palace.

Back mountains, Life and Death Rock.

This place is one of the Taotian Palace’s two forbidden grounds, along with Valley of Life and Death, even the Sect Leader needs to pass multiple restrictions to reach it.

At the center of Life and Death Rock lies a giant magma lake, boiling hot, with roaring flames. Even an Earth Immortal, if accidentally touched by a spark, would instantly be turned to dust.

At this moment, a young man is sitting in the magma.

The young man wears a broad-sleeved robe, about twenty to thirty years old, with each breath causing the surging flames in Life and Death Rock to roil, transforming into thousands of threads, coursing into his body through his nose.

A sword scar nearly crossing his heart is prominent on his bare chest.

If Ye Qingchen were here, he would surely recognize the figure as Yu Hongqing!

”Sect Leader!”

A soft voice gently called.

Then you see.

Ye Xu Kong stood respectfully on the side.

”Hmm!”

Yu Hongqing opened his eyes.

Clang!

It was as if lightning streaked through the void, piercing the flames leaping in front of him, forming a massive hole.

Seeing this, Ye Xu Kong lowered his head even deeper. The Sect Leader of Taotian Palace had not been crushed by Ye Qingchen’s sword; instead, he had turned misfortune into fortune and stepped into a higher realm.

”Why have you come to find me? Has Ye Qingchen already been captured? Speak, which sect holds Ye Qingchen’s spirit?”

Yu Hongqing’s gaze was indifferent, with a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

Though he had been in seclusion at the Life and Death Rock, he was not completely unaware of external affairs and naturally knew about the Thirty-Six Sects joining forces to hunt down Ye Qingchen. Sending out spies was essential!

However, Taotian Palace’s Su Moran’s cultivation had been imprisoned. Five of the Supreme Elders were gone, leaving only two top-level Earth Immortals, incapable of participating in the hunt. Yet he did not believe that Ye Qingchen would be utterly annihilated.

Because all Thirty-Six Sects wanted to uncover the secrets of the ”Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture” and Ye Qingchen’s powerful cultivation. Naturally, they would keep a trace of his spirit.

However.

It wasn’t difficult for him.

It would just require a considerable cost.

”Sect Leader, Ye Qingchen is not dead!” Ye Xu Kong bowed his head and said.

”Oh? Was he captured alive then?”

Yu Hongqing showed a hint of mockery in his eyes as he recalled the day Ye Qingchen struck him down from the void before the entire world, a disgrace he would never forget!

If Ye Qingchen was still alive, he had means to respond.

But the next moment, his smile froze.

”Neither!”

Ye Xu Kong’s voice trembled. Under Yu Hongqing’s incredulous gaze, she continued, ”Furor and others set a trap, deliberately loosened the restriction, and lured Ye Qingchen in. But Ye Qingchen fought his way out of the siege!”

”According to reports, in that battle, Ye Qingchen slew seven half-step Celestial Immortals and finally escaped into the East Sea!”

Boom!

The words fell.

The lava that was previously leaping like crazy suddenly transformed into a raging sea of fury, boiling madly, rolling angry flames almost engulfing the heavens and earth.

”Sect Leader...”

Ye Xu Kong was shocked.

This sea of fury represented Yu Hongqing’s state of mind. With the lava boiling like this, one could imagine how shocked he was.

”It’s really a grave mistake!” Yu Hongqing let out a bitter laugh. ”Never thought, the insignificant ant of the past would grow to such a level today.”

”Thirty-Six Sects combined, thirty-five half-step Celestial Immortals joining forces, even I have to be wary of them!”

Hearing Yu Hongqing say this, Ye Xu Kong couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

If even the Celestial Immortal Sect Leader spoke thus, wouldn’t Ye Qingchen truly become the First Earth Immortal?

”But Earth Immortal is still just Earth Immortal!” Saying this, Yu Hongqing suddenly stood up, the aura he had been suppressing within erupted like a mighty volcano.

”Though I became a Celestial Immortal, it hasn’t been long enough for me to fully grasp Celestial Immortal techniques! I must thank him for that sword, saving me three hundred years of hard work!”

As Yu Hongqing spoke, he suddenly raised both hands.

In a booming instant.

The vast Life and Death Rock spouted infinite flames, soaring skyward, billowing mighty heavenwards, transforming into a crimson canopy that spread across the heavens like a grand umbrella.

”This, this, this...”

Ye Xu Kong was rendered speechless.

The red flames covered eight hundred miles around. To think, on that day, Yu Hongqing was nearly slain by Ye Qingchen. She had thought Celestial Immortals were mere mortals, but now she realized she had been utterly wrong.

”This is the true power of a Celestial Immortal!”

Yu Hongqing clenched his hands.

Boom!

Instantly, the entire domain fell under his control. At that moment, Ye Xu Kong felt tiny, like dust. This power was a hundredfold stronger than during the battle at Taotian Palace, far beyond what ordinary humans could possess.

It was a truly transcendent existence!

A true deity!

In Ye Xu Kong’s shocked eyes, Yu Hongqing strode forward, no longer looking back at the boiling land behind him, stepping directly into the void.

”Sect Leader, you are...” Ye Xu Kong exclaimed.

”Going to personally capture and kill Ye Qingchen!”

Before the words finished.

Yu Hongqing vanished amidst the fiery inferno.

Staring at the disappearing figure, only after a moment did she suddenly come to her senses, her eyes sharp:

”Ye Qingchen, just wait. This time, Taotian Palace will demand retribution for everything.”
