Chapter 582 - 585: The Place of Burial

"This valley will be your burial ground!"

With this furious shout, the entire valley reverberated menacingly.

Du Di’s majestic strike descended from the heavens in an earth-shattering manner, slashing with an unrivaled posture, as if it could split the heavens and earth, with a murderous force that was unstoppable!

However.

Ye Qingchen’s sword was even stronger!

"Zheng!"

Accompanied by a fierce slash, the entire void suddenly trembled, the heaven-shocking sword light swept out and struck heavily on that giant blade traversing the heavens and earth!

This sword unleashed Ye Qingchen’s lifelong power accumulated over eighteen years!

It cut down a disciple of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect in the Kunlun Realm! It cut down his Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer cultivation!

"Dang!"

A ferocious loud sound.

Just like a massive hammer pounding a copper bell, the surging sound waves frantically spilled out, blowing countless towering ancient trees in the valley apart with crackling explosions, turning into dust and scattering.

This giant blade, supported by Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer cultivation, condensed with mighty demonic qi, only resisted for a moment before it shattered and dispersed into countless specks of light.

Boom!

The unmitigated Sword Qi surged forward, violently swept towards Du Di.

"Puff!"

Du Di spat out a mouthful of blood almost at the instant the demonic blade shattered, clearly suffering a backlash from his broken technique.

His body, struck by the remaining Sword Qi, was directly hurled backwards, crashing to the ground. At this moment, the Asura Demon Aspect surrounding him could no longer hold, collapsing abruptly.

"How is it possible?"

Staring at the shattered Demon Aspect, and at Ye Qingchen who still stood, Du Di was full of disbelief.

Wasn’t this kid already exhausted?

How could he have such great power still?

The hard-won confidence and courage collapsed completely at this moment. Feeling Ye Qingchen’s gaze again, Du Di let out a wail and fled towards the valley’s exit desperately!

"Escape?"

Watching Du Di’s actions, Ye Qingchen slowly curled the corners of his mouth, as a glint of coldness bloomed in his eyes: "I chased you to the Kunlun Realm to kill you, how could I let you escape?"

Boom!

Before the words fell.

Ye Qingchen’s figure flashed, and he was already looming above Du Di.

Du Di roared fiercely, one hand raised above, trying to block this strike, but Ye Qingchen’s foot had already stomped fiercely down!

This foot, like a flying swallow touching water, or an antelope jumping, seemed light and effortless. But when it landed on Du Di, it felt like thunder, pressing him directly into the ground!

"Dong!"

This fierce stomp was like a meteor striking the earth.

Du Di was stomped into the ground, crushing the earth beneath him, his chest completely caving in, as if trampled by a prehistoric beast.

"Wow!"

Du Di spewed a mouthful of blood, eyes filled with terror and astonishment. Ye Qingchen’s foot, like a towering mountain, pressed heavily on him, almost crushing his entire body!

"No, you can’t kill me!"

"I’m an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect! If you kill me, the Ten Thousand Gods Sect won’t spare you! They’ll hunt you down both above and below the heavens! Not only will they annihilate you, but they’ll also cleanse Taotian Palace with blood!"

"Even if you fear not the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, won’t you consider those on the Barbaric Continent?"

Du Di widened his eyes, shouting fiercely and falsely.

At this moment, he could only try everything to make Ye Qingchen cautious. With his understanding of human nature, Ye Qingchen would certainly hesitate. As long as he could hold him off, he would plot slowly afterward.

’If I can survive this ordeal, once I return to the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, it’ll be your death!’

With the power of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, wanting to kill Ye Qingchen would be effortless; even cleansing the whole Barbaric Continent with blood would be as simple as plucking something from a bag!

He believed!

Confronted with the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, Ye Qingchen would undoubtedly show caution!

Yet.

What Du Di didn’t expect was Ye Qingchen sneered coldly, speaking icily:

"Did you forget what I said before? After killing you, of course, I’ll flatten the Ten Thousand Gods Sect. As for you... go die!"

Upon hearing these words, Du Di had yet to react, but was stomped on the chest by Ye Qingchen. The power of Ye Qingchen’s Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique-infused foot was immense, and Du Di was immediately stomped through the chest, dying instantly, beyond repair!

His eyes widened as if dying without closing, perhaps unable to believe he had actually died at Ye Qingchen’s hands.

"Facing death, yet still dare to threaten me?"

"If I let you go, you’d spare me and Taotian Palace?"

Ye Qingchen gazed at Du Di’s corpse, and his long-astrained spirit finally relaxed. Yet before he could take a breath, a strong dizziness swept over him.

After all.

This battle had consumed him greatly.

Whether facing those hundreds of Great Celestial Venerables, Du Di, or consistently invoking the Ten Thousand Swords Array and the Ten Directions Heaven-Breaking Array earlier, was a heavy burden for him.

Especially the last sword, which nearly exhausted him. If the opponent hadn’t died, he would only have the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture, the last resort!

’Just a Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer makes me struggle like this... who knows how many like him exist within the Ten Thousand Gods Sect!’

’Also, the previous pursuit caused too much commotion, perhaps the Ten Thousand Gods Sect already got the news. I must leave here quickly...’

Ye Qingchen’s eyes showed a hint of gloom.

However.

He showed no fear!

This is the Kunlun Realm, where Spiritual Qi is abundant, surely Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are not scarce; he can quickly enhance his cultivation, strengthen his power!

Just then.

Ye Qingchen suddenly frowned, gazing towards the forest while gripping his Gui Xu Sword tightly, shouted coldly: "Who’s there, sneaking around, get out!"

Boom!

The previously restrained murderous aura surged overwhelmingly once again in the next moment!

"Master, Master..."

A panicked voice came from the forest, revealing a chubby youth, with only Celestial Saint Third Layer cultivation, scrambling out fearfully, hurriedly kowtowing, face pale with fright.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Ye Qingchen squinted, asking coldly.

"I’m Zhou Hai from East River City, Qishan City, heading to participate in the Taotian Palace’s selection, passing through here... not intentionally spying on the heavenly being!"

The youth quickly explained.

However.

After these words fell, Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, filled with incredulous surprise:

"What did you say? Taotian Palace’s selection?"
