“So powerful!”

When the dragon turtle activated the True Dragon Bloodline, its cultivation surged to the Celestial Saint Eighth Layer, displaying its capability to overturn the seas. From the moment its prowess was shown, this was the only thought left in everyone’s mind.

Especially when the vast monstrous aura spewed out in waves, everyone felt like they were falling into an abyss.

Just witnessing it.

The surging waves covered the sky and obscured the sun and moon. For a moment, it was as if the monstrous aura devoured the heavens, with an overwhelmingly powerful force. Mixed with the giant waves, it swept across the world, looking down upon everything.

To everyone, even though Ye Qingchen was strong, under this vast tide, he would be shattered to pieces.

However.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen slowly raised his hand and pressed it gently forward. The overwhelming waves, rushing in, suddenly trembled as if they struck an invisible wall, coming to an abrupt halt.

It was as though an invisible giant force had crushed down, pressing the waves into a palm-shaped indentation. Unable to withstand the force, it exploded on the spot, dispersing around.

The fierce wind hit their faces, and the massive ships around were rocked left and right, with everyone on board thrown into chaos.

In the void.

Ye Qingchen stood unmoving like a mountain.

“Roar!”

The dragon turtle’s pupils contracted, even with its high regard for Ye Qingchen; it never expected him to be this powerful. Immediately, it let out a fierce roar, its massive body suddenly leaping forward, tumbling swiftly like a flood dragon, directly pouncing toward Ye Qingchen.

In the instant it approached Ye Qingchen, its gigantic foot pressed down mightily.

This foot descended crazily, shattering space, fully showcasing the strength of an Eighth-Layer Celestial Saint beast.

“Alas!”

Ye Qingchen sighed softly, his right hand gripped in mid-air, slashing downward.

This slash seemed casual, but facing this sword, the dragon turtle turned pale with fright, feeling as if Ye Qingchen’s hand held the furious winds of the Zhou Sky, coming with an irresistible force, extremely overpowering, utterly invincible.

The dragon turtle’s instincts screamed, and in that instant, its monstrous aura burst to the extreme, its body twisting abruptly.

“What’s happening?”

“Why is it…”

Shouts of surprise echoed around.

Just as everyone was astonished at why the dragon turtle would retreat without fighting, they saw Ye Qingchen’s slash gently descend.

A brilliant sword light appeared in the air.

“Slash!”

The sword light swept across, as if splitting the entire sea, gouging out a mark hundreds of feet long from beneath Ye Qingchen’s feet to the edge of vision, unable to heal for a long time.

“How is this possible?”

Zhao Qinglong’s eyes were about to pop out.

“This!”

Jiang Churan was about to jump up.

That one sword seemed to almost slice the entire sea region in two; if the dragon turtle had taken that blow, it wouldn’t survive even without dying. How is Ye Qingchen’s power so strong?

Everyone around was equally shocked, eyes wide open, unable to believe that Ye Qingchen had forced the dragon turtle to retreat with just one sword strike.

The dragon turtle, too, stared blankly at the sword mark stretching to the horizon, its eyes filled with a shiver. As it hesitated between advancing or retreating, it saw Ye Qingchen already stepping skyward, rushing toward it once more.

“Roar!”

Facing the figure striding through the sky, the dragon turtle let out a bellow, its mighty body standing upright like a flood dragon turning over, attempting to use its great mass and strength to press Ye Qingchen down.

At the same time, the vast monstrous aura poured out in torrents, enveloping its body, enough to crush even a green mountain to dust.

But Ye Qingchen raised his right hand again, slashing swiftly.

“Woo!”

The dragon turtle whimpered, falling from mid-air, crashing into the sea, its blood blooming and staining a large area of the waters red.

Everyone looked closely, involuntarily drawing a sharp breath, seeing that the belly of the dragon turtle had been forcibly split open by this slash, the wound spanning its entire abdomen, even its white ribs were clearly visible.

“Did he win?”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Yet.

This thought just began to rise when they saw the fallen dragon turtle abruptly flip over with a furious roar.

“Roar!”

This furious roar seemed like a true dragon’s bellow.

Injured by a mere human cultivator, this dragon turtle only grew more enraged. The immense monstrous aura instantly swept through its body, its terrifying aura soaring once again.

Amidst the rising aura, it stamped its foot fiercely, causing the surrounding sea to churn with giant waves, countless water columns rushing skyward, the raging tide lifting all the surrounding giant ships into the air!

With the monstrous aura billowing, the dragon turtle charged violently towards Ye Qingchen.

This charging momentum, even more rapid and violent than before, clearly intended to unleash all its power to slay Ye Qingchen. Such terrifying might caused everyone’s faces to change dramatically.

“Can he withstand it?”

At this moment.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“He’s doomed! This terrifying strike, even a Celestial Saint Eighth Layer powerhouse might not dare face its sharpness!” Zhao Qinglong’s face had just shown a slight smile but it froze instantly.

In the eyes of the incredulous onlookers.

Ye Qingchen stepped forward, shouting in a deep voice:

“Endless Abyss!”

Clang!

In an instant, the sound of a sword reverberated through the heavens.

A sword light shot to the sky like a rainbow, descending mightily. That monstrous aura sweeping vast areas parted like water under this strike.

The momentum of the sword light didn’t diminish, slicing through the dragon turtle’s body.

“Squeak!”

The dragon turtle let out a miserable scream.

Its massive body and hard shell were cut through like paper, as if the sword light sliced through tofu. In the depths of countless gazes, the dragon turtle’s enormous body was halved, cleaved into two.

Rumbling!

The bisected turtle carcass crashed down from mid-air, landing on the sea, sending water surging skyward.

This Celestial Saint Eighth Layer beast, that overwhelmed the entire fleet, slaughtering countless sailors, was slain by Ye Qingchen with one sword strike!

Silence fell across the scene.

None of the sailors on the ship or others dared to speak, all shaken by the sight before them.

From Ye Qingchen’s appearance to his destruction of the dragon turtle in three moves, it all happened in a flash. But what occurred during this brief moment overturned everyone’s imagination.

Especially that final sword stroke, which seemed like a heavenly dragon-slaying strike, utterly beyond human capability to withstand.

“Ye Qingchen…”

Jiang Churan suddenly covered her mouth, unable to believe.

The sailors around were wide-eyed.

And Zhao Qinglong, his body weakened, as if all the bones had been drawn out, collapsed onto the ground, filled with despair. At this moment, he wished he could slap himself twice; how did he dare offend such an existence?

Only Su Muzhe’s eyes shone brightly, recognising this as the true means of the Supreme Celestial Saint!
