Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

99: Chapter 98 The Struggle of the Nine Heavenly VenerablesXiao Yan, Yao Lao, and the others stared fixedly at the battle in the arena, their faces filled with shock and admiration.

Moreover, only half a year had passed; half a year ago, when Chen Yang fought Old Freak Zhaixing, he still had to use his full strength, but now, half a year later, Chen Yang’s strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

They witnessed with their own eyes how Chen Yang, with an irresistible force, dealt with two six-star Dou Zuns with just a few moves, as if he had merely done something insignificant.

Ripples of emotion could not help but rise in Xiao Yan’s heart, and he sighed inwardly: ”Han Li’s rapid improvement in strength along this journey is truly astonishing. Now that he is already so powerful, how can I, Xiao Yan, ever hope to catch up to his pace?”

Xiao Yan’s gaze was locked tightly onto Chen Yang, his eyes filled with envy and longing.

Chen Yang stood tall and composed, his invincible aura—completely disregarding Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu—seeming like a towering mountain that inspired awe.

Xiao Yan thought to himself, if he also possessed such powerful strength, why would he need Chen Yang to come to his rescue today?

He would surely be able to rely on his own strength to cut down the Ninth Celestial, Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu, and the others, ensuring the safety of his master and everyone else.

But now, reality was like a cold, hard wall, ruthlessly standing in his way.

He was merely a small Dou Wang; in front of these experts, he was as small and fragile as an ant, and could be crushed into dust by a wave of their hands at any moment.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan clenched his fists involuntarily, a flash of determination in his eyes: ”I must become stronger! Only by becoming incomparably powerful can I protect my master, guard my family, and make those who attempt to harm the people around me pay a heavy price!”

”Boom!”

A loud explosion, like a thunderclap, burst in the ears of Xiao Yan and the others, instantly pulling them back to reality from their thoughts.

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu’s body rapidly merged with the eerie black mist, and a pair of eyes burning with green flames slowly emerged from the black mist, looking incomparably vicious.

Immediately after, countless pitch-black chains shot out from the black mist, carrying a chilling aura of deathly silence, and lightning-fast, pierced into the corpses of the Black and White Heavenly Venerates.

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu tugged hard with both hands, and the two illusory soul bodies of the Black and White Heavenly Venerates were dragged out forcefully, like captured prey.

”Ahhh... Urgh.”

The soul bodies of the Black and White Heavenly Venerates struggled desperately, their faces filled with terror.

They knew well the terror of the Dou Technique that Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu was currently using, because they had also practiced this Dou Technique.

This was an evil method capable of forcibly increasing one’s combat power by devouring souls; once devoured, the soul would completely dissipate between heaven and earth, with no possibility of resurrection.

”Lord Ninth Celestial, please spare us! We don’t want to die!”

The soul bodies of the Black and White Heavenly Venerates let out desperate pleas for mercy, their voices filled with fear and unwillingness.

”No...”

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu seemed not to hear their pleas, a frenzied light flickering in his eyes as he said coldly: ”In order to fight against a strong enemy, you should obediently offer up your souls! This is your honor!”

”Hundred Ghosts Devour Souls!”

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu let out another shrill roar, the sound resembling the howl of an evil ghost coming from the depths of hell.

The chains gripping the soul bodies of the Black and White Heavenly Venerates tightened suddenly, and then with a violent tug, they were dragged fiercely into the black mist.

For a moment, the black mist surged wildly, with streaks of blue lightning flashing and leaping within it, as if countless wronged souls were struggling in pain. The entire scene appeared incomparably eerie and terrifying, and a powerful aura rushed toward them, making Xiao Yan and the others feel a sense of suffocation.

”Hehehe...”

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu’s wild laughter came from the black mist, ”Peak Dou Zun, is this the strength of a Peak Dou Zun? Today, I will let you ants witness it! What is a Peak Dou Zun!! You all go to hell!”

A majestic aura radiated from the black mist. Following Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu’s roar, pitch-black chains, like venomous snakes waiting to devour people, shot out violently from the black mist, tearing through the void with a sharp whistling sound, and stabbed fiercely toward Chen Yang.

Each chain was wrapped in dense black Dou Qi, as if it could pierce through everything in its path. Even space itself was sliced open by the chains, revealing the purple void. Seeing this, Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, Wind Idle, and the others’ expressions instantly became incomparably grave.

They knew clearly that after Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu broke through to Peak Dou Zun, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap, and the situation of this battle instantly became even more dangerous and unpredictable.

However, only Chen Yang remained calm and indifferent, as if everything happening before him was just an insignificant farce, and he did not take Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu’s so-called Peak Dou Zun strength to heart at all.

In Chen Yang’s view, as long as Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu had not broken through to the Dou Sheng realm, even if he had one foot in the Half-Saint realm, for him, it was merely a matter of consuming a bit more stamina, and there was no substantial difficulty at all.

After all, he possessed the Secret of All, a miraculous technique capable of instantly increasing combat power tenfold. Coupled with the terrifying physical strength and defensive bonuses of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, even when facing a Half-Saint expert, he had the power to fight, and could even retreat unscathed from the hands of a Dou Sheng.

In an instant, Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu seemed to go mad, the Dou Qi within his body surging like a breached flood, rolling wantonly.

Following that, countless black chains whistled out from the black Dou Qi surrounding him, which was so dense it was nearly tangible. They were endless, and in an instant, they blotted out the sky, weaving the entire firmament into an airtight black net, enveloping Chen Yang from all directions without any blind spots.

Each chain was as thick as a python, wrapped in black Dou Qi. Under the reflection of the eerie light, they flickered with a cold, predatory gleam, carrying endless killing intent, and stabbed toward Chen Yang with the momentum of a thunderbolt.

Ninth Heaven Venerable Mo Yu was staking everything on this, clearly attempting to use this earth-shattering, lethal blow to completely erase Chen Yang and eliminate future trouble.

Such a chilling and fierce offensive, even in the eyes of other battle-hardened Peak Dou Zun experts, would be a fatal disaster they would fear to avoid.

If it were them facing such a desperate situation, they would have to exhaust all their skills and bring out their last-resort life-saving cards to possibly find a glimmer of survival and struggle to escape from this torrential, overwhelming wave of attacks.

But Chen Yang, on the other hand, stood like an immovable, towering mountain, his posture tall and straight, standing calmly on the spot. His deep eyes were like an ancient well, without a ripple, showing no signs of panic, but instead revealing a touch of playfulness and contempt.

He saw him lift his hand gently with calm composure. In an instant, the majestic and vast divine power within his body surged like an ignited beacon fire.

At the same time, he unleashed the Holy Light Technique.

In a flash, blindingly dazzling golden light gathered rapidly in front of him, the light bright and holy, containing the great power to dispel all darkness and gloom.
