System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

121: Fighting hordes of demons alone, the sword roars in the underground palace.”Hum—!”

Locked by countless gazes filled with killing intent, the space around Ye Chen seemed to solidify.

The aura of the three Earth Fiend Realm Sixth Level Elders descended like three demonic mountains, weaving into a suffocating Domain that firmly imprisoned Ye Chen in place.

The remaining dozen or so Earth Fiend Realm cultists scattered instantly, forming a battle Formation that sealed off all paths of retreat.

Inside the underground palace, cold winds howled, and Devilish Qi soared to the heavens!

”How bold! To dare infiltrate the Forbidden Ground of the Holy Temple!” The Grand Elder (a gaunt old man) had a hoarse voice, and the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified into substance, ”Hand over the moon-eater token fragment, and I will leave your corpse intact!”

The larger fragment in his hand glowed intensely, pointing directly at Ye Chen, confirming the target.

Surrounded, Ye Chen’s expression remained calm.

He slowly walked out from the shadows, the layer of Earth Fiend Realm Second Layer aura used for disguise receding like a tide, replaced by a majestic Concept that was as deep as the sea and as primordial as undivided Chaos!

The guixu sword appeared silently in his hand, gray Chaos light flowing over the blade, quietly repelling and annihilating the approaching Devilish Qi.

”Dark Hall evildoers, causing Chaos to the common people, deserve to be executed.”

His voice was not loud, but it carried a cold determination that echoed clearly in this eerie underground palace.

”Arrogant!” The Second Elder, whose face was tattooed, had the most violent temper. Seeing Ye Chen so calm, he was even more furious, ”A mere Earth Fiend Realm Second Layer, yet you dare speak such wild words! Take him down!”

He was the first to strike, his withered palm thrusting out violently. Black light surged from his fingertips, transforming into five pitch-black finger beams that tore through space. Like a poisonous snake emerging from its hole, carrying a piercing shriek that eroded the Divine Soul, they aimed directly at Ye Chen’s vital points! This was the Dark Hall’s ultimate skill—Nether Ghost Finger!

Before the finger beams arrived, the bone-chilling Concept had already caused the Protective Aura of ordinary Earth Fiend Realm Cultivators to stagnate.

However, Ye Chen merely flicked his wrist, and the guixu sword traced an arc of profound mystery.

”Extinction.”

The sword tip trembled, and dots of gray sword flowers bloomed, precisely meeting the five finger beams.

”Puff, puff, puff...”

There was no earth-shattering collision. The moment the sharp Nether Ghost Finger touched the Extinction sword flowers, it was as if it had met its nemesis. The Yin-Sha Demonic Energy structure contained within was domineeringly disintegrated and shattered; the finger beams quickly dimmed and dissipated, as if they had never appeared!

”What?!” The Second Elder’s pupils shrank violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

His Nether Ghost Finger had actually been broken by the opponent so casually?

”This brat is strange, attack together!” The Grand Elder shouted sternly, no longer overconfident.

He formed seals with both hands, his body surging with Devilish Qi, condensing into a phantom of a three-headed, six-armed, blue-faced, fanged Demon God. Wielding demonic weapons and carrying monstrous ferocity, it lunged toward Ye Chen! This was the Earth Fiend Dharma Image—Three-Headed Demon Venerable Image!

At the same time, the more cautious Third Elder also moved.

He did not attack directly, but took out a pitch-black soul banner and waved it vigorously!

In an instant, cold winds raged in the underground palace, and countless twisted, painful vengeful spirits shrieked out from the soul banner, emitting ear-piercing howls, forming a sea of souls that obscured vision, surging toward Ye Chen from all directions, attempting to erode his Divine Soul!

Facing the all-out siege of two Earth Fiend Realm Sixth Level Elders and the harassment of the sky-filling vengeful spirits, Ye Chen’s eyes were solemn, but he showed no fear.

The Chaos energy within his body rotated at an unprecedented speed, and a massive amount of Chaos Gang Qi surged out!

”Guixu—Heaven Swallowing!”

The guixu sword suddenly erupted with a strong suction force, forming a miniature Chaos Vortex at the tip of the sword!

The lunging Three-Headed Demon Venerable Image’s movements suddenly stalled, and the Devilish Qi around it was uncontrollably pulled and swallowed by the vortex!

Although it could not completely swallow this powerful Dharma Image, it greatly delayed its offensive!

At the same time, Ye Chen pinched a seal with his left hand, activating the [Chaos Genesis: Myriad Transformation] Divine Ability!

”Pure Yang Thunder Fire, Repel All Evils!”

He opened his mouth and spat out a beam of light mixed with supreme Yang thunder and pure white flames, which roared out and rushed into the sky-filling vengeful spirits!

Thunder exploded, and flames burned the heavens; these two supreme Yang and rigid powers were the absolute nemesis of Yin spirits and ghosts!

”Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... Awoo!!”

The vengeful spirits touched the thunder fire, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, emitting miserable wails, dissolving and being purified in large patches!

The light of the soul banner dimmed rapidly, and the Third Elder groaned, evidently his Magic Treasure was damaged, and his Divine Soul had suffered a backlash!

”How is this possible?! How can he simultaneously wield powers with completely different attributes?!” The Third Elder exclaimed, his eyes full of horror.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Chen’s figure was like lightning, avoiding the lunge of the delayed Demon Venerable Image, the guixu sword transforming into a gray streak of light that tore through the darkness, stabbing directly at the Grand Elder who was controlling the Dharma Image!

”Junior, you are courting death!” The Grand Elder was shocked and angry. The Demon Venerable Image waved all six arms, the demonic weapons weaving into a storm of death, blocking in front of him.

”Clang, clang, clang, clang...!”

The guixu sword and the demonic weapon phantoms collided crazily, erupting with a dense, rain-like sound of metal clashing!

The Chaos Sword Aura and the Devilish Sha Qi clashed intensely, the energy storm sweeping through the entire underground palace, blowing those Early Stage Earth Fiend Realm cultists off balance!

Although Ye Chen’s cultivation was not as high, the quality of his Chaos Sword Aura was extremely high, and it contained the true intent of Extinction and Guixu, actually fighting the Demon Venerable Image to a draw, and even faintly gaining the upper hand. Where the sword light passed, the Devilish Qi was constantly purified and weakened!

”Form the Ten Thousand Devil Bone-Erosion Formation! Trap and kill him!” The Second Elder, seeing that single attacks were ineffective, roared his order.

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Earth Fiend Realm cultists immediately changed positions, their Devilish Qi connecting, instantly forming a pitch-black demonic array covering the entire underground palace!

Countless hideous demonic shadows emerged within the array, demonic sounds filled the ears, and bone-eroding and soul-dissolving demonic fire rose from the ground, wrapping around and burning Ye Chen from all directions!

Under the blessing of the Formation’s power, the Grand Elder’s Demon Venerable Image’s power surged again. He threw a punch, and the demonic flames soared to the heavens, forcing Ye Chen to retreat repeatedly.

”Hahaha! Let’s see how long you can hold on!” The Second Elder sneered, once again using the Nether Ghost Finger, countless finger beams shooting toward Ye Chen trapped in the array like a rainstorm.

Facing the pincer attack of the Formation and the two Elders, Ye Chen’s pressure increased significantly, his protective Chaos light fluctuating violently under the impact of the demonic fire and finger beams.

But his eyes remained as calm as ice.

It was time!

With a thought, he connected to the wisp of Chaos Qi he had previously buried at the base of the stone pillar!

”Explode!”

Following his silent command, the base of the stone pillar near the wall, where the Formation node was lurking with Chaos Qi, suddenly lit up with blinding Chaos light!

”Boom—!!!”

With a loud noise, the stone pillar shattered in response!

The violent energy instantly spiraled out of control, like a chain reaction, causing the entire Nine-Pillar Formation to shake violently, its operation stalling for an instant!

The light of the Ten Thousand Devil Bone-Erosion Formation covering the underground palace suddenly dimmed for a moment!

Now is the time!

Sharp light exploded in Ye Chen’s eyes. The Chaos light on the guixu sword condensed to the extreme, no longer gray, but transforming into a primordial sword qi that seemed capable of cutting through Chaos and resetting the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind!

”Chaos—Heaven Opening!”

He slashed out with his sword, not attacking anyone, but slashing toward the space barrier that had become weak due to the Formation’s stagnation!

”Rip—!”

A subtle yet extremely clear spatial rift was forcibly slashed open by him! Behind the rift was chaotic spatial turbulence!

”He wants to escape!” The Third Elder was greatly alarmed.

”Stop him!” The Grand Elder’s eyes were splitting with rage, the Demon Venerable Image’s giant palm covering the sky, slamming down fiercely!

However, the moment Ye Chen slashed out that sword, his figure had already turned into a streak of light, rushing into the spatial rift without hesitation!

”I already know of the Dark Hall’s schemes. The day of the Heavenly Prodigy Sword Debate shall be the day of your destruction!”

His cold voice came from the gradually closing spatial rift, echoing in the deathly silent underground palace.

The Demon Venerable’s giant palm struck empty air, blasting a deep pit into the ground, gravel splashing.

The spatial rift closed rapidly, and Ye Chen’s figure had already vanished without a trace.

Inside the underground palace, only the three Elders with ashen faces and bodies exuding violent auras remained, along with a group of terrified cultists.

And that giant egg, still pulsating, yet seeming to reveal a hint of unease due to Ye Chen’s departure.

”Pursue! He forcibly tore through space, he must have suffered a backlash, he cannot have gone far!” The Grand Elder roared, his voice filled with endless fury and killing intent.

The silence of the underground palace was completely broken, and a frantic manhunt for Ye Chen was about to sweep through Tianfeng City.
