Chapter 544 - 548: Evil Mountain Monarch, Destroyed!

"Ye Qingchen?"

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at the figure suspended in the void. In their view, it should have been the Evil Mountain Monarch at the end, how could it be Ye Qingchen?

However.

At this moment, they had no choice but to believe.

Because this young man had already sheathed the Gui Xu Sword, descending with hands behind his back as if there were invisible steps beneath him.

The many Celestial Venerables present also widened their eyes.

As if unable to accept this fact!

"Ye Qingchen, how could it be you? Where is my master?"

Just then, a furious shout suddenly erupted.

Everyone quickly looked over, only to see An Xuan Ancestor stepping forward, eyes like hooks, staring intently at Ye Qingchen. His imposing aura surged around him, silver hair bristling like a lion ready to pounce.

And those Celestial Venerables nearby, feeling this terrifying aura, turned pale, almost unable to stand steady.

After all, An Xuan Ancestor was of the same level as the Ten Thousand Corpses Ancestor, belonging to the top echelon of Celestial Venerables. Now, with his full explosive momentum, how could ordinary Celestial Venerables compare?

"Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?"

Ye Qingchen’s eyes turned cold, and he flicked his finger.

Whoosh!

A dazzling sword light burst forth at that instant, piercing the air with a sharp whistle, like a lightning bolt shooting straight towards An Xuan Ancestor!

"What?"

An Xuan Ancestor’s heart sank.

He had never expected Ye Qingchen to act so abruptly. But what he didn’t know was that even his master, the Evil Mountain Monarch, had to present a challenge letter before dueling Ye Qingchen, which meant that the Evil Mountain Monarch had already placed Ye Qingchen on par with himself!

Now, his actions naturally seemed rebellious.

But An Xuan Ancestor couldn’t think too much now; seeing the approaching sword light, he dared not hesitate. He clapped his palms together, and demonic qi surged violently around him.

This terrifying demonic qi erupted like a volcanic eruption, forming a massive black shield, enveloping him within it.

"Dark Profound Shield!"

An Xuan Ancestor’s ace technique.

Also, his strongest defense!

It was said that before he became famous, he evaded countless life-and-death crises with this technique.

"How dare you strike at me? When my master returns, he’ll surely take your life, and then level Taotian Palace to assert heavenly might!" An Xuan Ancestor thought fiercely.

"You think this can stop me?"

However, Ye Qingchen remained unfazed, suddenly raising his hand in a slash.

"Screech!"

A flash of light appeared.

The sword light swiftly slashed down, and before An Xuan Ancestor’s disbelieving gaze, the shield he relied on was sliced in half like a knife through tofu, then cleaved him from head to toe into two!

"Master!"

Cried several of An Xuan Ancestor’s disciples.

The surrounding Celestial Venerables were utterly shocked to the core. An Xuan Ancestor was a peerless fierce god, cut down by a single sword stroke for merely asking a question.

This was lawlessness to the extreme!

Venerable Duoe frowned and said:

"Mr. Ye, An Xuan Ancestor was merely anxious, why did you kill him?"

Ye Qingchen flicked his fingers casually, "I said if I defeated the Evil Mountain Monarch, I would eradicate his legacy. Otherwise, everyone would dare to use Taotian Palace to threaten me in the future!"

"As for the Evil Mountain Monarch, he’s already dead!"

Though everyone had speculated.

But when those words left Ye Qingchen’s mouth, people were still taken aback. Especially the Evil Mountain Monarch’s disciples, whose faces turned pale as if all their bones had been removed.

The other Celestial Venerables remained silent.

The Evil Mountain Monarch’s last strike had already stirred up heaven and earth, even reforming the shattered Great Wilderness Mountain. Such methods went beyond imagination, akin to a divine demon—how could he have lost to Ye Qingchen?

But what they didn’t know was that although Ye Qingchen had just entered the Celestial Venerable realm, he had cultivated top-tier techniques like the Nine Revolutions Star Technique and the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, which the Evil Mountain Monarch couldn’t rival.

The Wine Sword Immortal’s pupils contracted, finally sighing without a word.

The Golden Toad Ancestor’s gaze was fixed greedily on Ye Qingchen. Venerable Duoe too joined his palms in prayer, unable to bear it.

But Ye Qingchen didn’t care what they thought. His gaze shifted to the seven remaining disciples of the Evil Mountain Monarch. "Elder Demon Cloud, White Bone Daoist, Tongxuan Ancestor..."

"A father’s debt is paid by the son, a master’s feud avenged by the disciple. The Evil Mountain Monarch threatened me with Taotian Palace, so I shall kill you seven to warn the world!"

Elder Demon Cloud, White Bone Daoist, and others were stunned upon hearing this, unable to react.

Ye Qingchen flicked his finger again!

Whoosh!

The next moment.

Everyone saw the Gui Xu Sword flying out from his back, turning into a beam of light, sweeping through those seven individuals.

Immediately.

Those seven famous ancient demons, not even having the chance to scream, were struck as if by lightning, and their bodies suddenly froze.

In the shocked gazes of everyone, they watched their upper bodies slide off diagonally, like felled trees, crashing to the ground, completely breathless and dead.

Witnessing this scene, everyone in the arena shuddered.

"As for the other disciples under the Evil Mountain Monarch, in my name, I declare them vanished! If anyone is found using the Evil Mountain Monarch’s name in the future, those involved will be treated like these seven!"

Ye Qingchen said calmly.

Though his tone was calm, there was a chilling killing intent. The apprentices and descendants of the Evil Mountain Monarch were frightened and bowed down, not daring to utter a single sound!

Witnessing this, everyone in the arena couldn’t help but sigh to the heavens.

From today onwards.

The world would no longer know the Evil Mountain Monarch!

Not only would he cease to exist, but even his legacy would not dare to linger in the world.

Everyone felt uneasy.

Feeling a sense of shared fate among those who survive by luck, even such ancient demons from centuries past like the Evil Mountain Monarch were not Ye Qingchen’s match, who else could be?

Perhaps!

This young man had already reigned supreme over the Barbaric Continent.

At this point.

The people of Taotian Palace were already excitedly dispersing.

The Wine Sword Immortal, Golden Toad Ancestor, and Venerable Duoe exchanged a cautious glance, then silently turned into streaks of light and disappeared.

The other Celestial Venerables, seeing this, also left with heavy hearts.

As the numerous Celestial Venerables departed.

The outcome of this battle was like lightning, spreading swiftly across the entire Barbaric Continent!
