Qin Chen felt a chill in his heart as he activated the Nine Star Divine Emperor Technique, frantically channeling mysterious powers that awoke within him, exuding a heart-pounding aura from his body.
He prided himself on being able to withstand the attack of the Jiuyu Venerable.
"Alas!"
However, just as the palm of the Jiuyu Venerable was about to touch Qin Chen, a sigh echoed, and then a figure appeared—boom, it was the Ye Guang Venerable. He raised his hand, letting light radiate from his palm, and mysterious formations emerged, actually evolving into a grand array of heaven and earth in the center of his palm.
Bang!
Both sides clashed, and the terrifying aura collided—truly like the end of the world had arrived.
"Ye Guang Venerable, what are you doing?"
The Jiuyu Venerable said coldly, his gaze icy, clearly displeased.
"This child is my disciple of Tian Gong. Regardless of the circumstances, I cannot stand by and watch you take action against him. Everyone, please stop. If you want to know anything, just ask; why go to such lengths?"
Ye Guang Venerable said, his tone solemn.
"Ye Guang, you don’t intend to monopolize this brat for yourself, do you?
Let him speak for himself?
Haha, do you think that's possible?
This person is already one of your Tian Gong's own. By then, my Da Yu Divine Mountain would surely be left in the dark, right?
It's better to capture him; it's more appropriate for us few to question him together."
The Jiuyu Venerable's gaze was cold, stepping forward with a massive palm infused with terrifying Venerable aura, crushing everything.
"Jiuyu, bullying a junior—what does that count for? Since that’s the case, I cannot remain indifferent."
Ye Guang Venerable shook his head, throwing a punch at Jiuyu Venerable.
Jiuyu Venerable was eager to take down Qin Chen, but facing a master like Ye Guang Venerable, he dared not be careless, having to abandon his attack on Qin Chen, turning instead to defend against Ye Guang Venerable's assault.
Bang!
The two sides fought fiercely, both being well-acquainted with one another; for a time, they were evenly matched, both sides standing firm.
Everyone gasped in surprise, not expecting the powers of the various Venerables to be so closely matched. For a moment, neither could gain the upper hand, both sides mutually restraining each other, neither able to seize absolute dominance.
Ye Guang Venerable and Jiuyu Venerable were understandable as they were both Venerables of top-tier forces with similar cultivation levels. However, Qing Xue Gu Hua was the ancient ancestor of the Qing Xue family, already at the end of his decline, having been rumored to have reached enlightenment countless times, yet he was not the least inferior under the attack of the Star Destroyer Venerable.
"Qing Xue Gu Hua, have you gone mad?
Are you throwing your life away for a young man?"
The Star Destroyer Venerable said, his gaze icy. He understood that Qing Xue Gu Hua had grown old and his vitality was waning. He should not be his opponent, and he should be far stronger than him.
Yet, Qing Xue Gu Hua's attacks were fierce, each strike aimed at mutual destruction. He did not share the same resolve to die alongside the opponent, even unwilling to suffer serious injuries, thus being momentarily suppressed by Qing Xue Gu Hua.
But such a situation could not last long. Under the battle pressure of their level, Qing Xue Gu Hua's declining vitality would soon show its disadvantage and he would be pushed back before long.
However, he could not wait any longer. The three Venerables aimed to take down Qin Chen, and it was better for him to capture him than to let someone else do it, thus gaining the initiative.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
The Star Destroyer Venerable became genuinely angry, a crack appearing in his brow, and a pitch-black star emerged, rumbling as the star unleashed its core pressure. Instantly, everyone present felt a sense of suffocation, as if their bodies were about to explode.
"Kill!"
