Chapter 549: Chapter 553: The Three Great Celestial Venerables Join Forces!

Old Celestial Venerable!

Once upon a time, standing atop the Barbaric Continent, the four most powerful Celestial Venerables—all except the Evil Mountain Monarch who has already fallen to Ye Qingchen—have now arrived.

Seeing the postures of these three, Yao Qing recalled recent rumors, and her expression changed. Could it be…

She suddenly looked towards Ye Qingchen.

Only to see Ye Qingchen’s expression as calm as ever, his hands still clasped behind his back, but his gaze towards the three held a hint of mockery, “On the day of the Great Wilderness Mountain battle, you did not dare to make a move against me. Now appearing before me, could it be you are now prepared?”

“Mr. Ye already knows?” said the Wine Sword Immortal quietly.

Ye Qingchen smiled without saying a word.

That day on the Great Wilderness Mountain, he slew the Evil Mountain Monarch, forcing many Celestial Venerables to bow, yet only these three before him maintained their hostility. At that time, he was already prepared to face a battle at any moment, but did not expect the three of them to suddenly leave.

Now that they have reappeared, they must have a plan!

“Mr. Ye’s martial arts divine techniques are unmatched. Even with the three of us present that day, we had no certainty of defeating you. Without thorough preparation, how would we dare to challenge you?”

“This time, we have come to take your head!”

The Wine Sword Immortal stands in the void.

No longer bearing the appearance of a scruffy Daoist, he is now the Sword Dao master of eight hundred years ago, decisive in his killings! The first Sword Immortal that shook the Barbaric Continent!

His murderous intent is as mighty as the tide, even more overwhelming than that of the Evil Mountain Monarch on that day!

“Venerable Duoe, why are you here?”

Ye Qingchen’s gaze fell on the enlightened monk with white brows, white beard, and youthful countenance.

At this moment, Venerable Duoe stands to the right of the Wine Sword Immortal, holding a Zen Staff in one hand and a relic bead rosary in the other, a five-colored halo shining like a wheel behind his head.

As if he is the Arhat of myth, having attained the Bodhisattva enlightenment.

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s gaze, Venerable Duoe chanted a Buddhist mantra, then bowed his head:

“After the Great Wilderness Mountain battle, I saw behind the donor an ocean of blood, and endless corpses at his feet. Donor Ye is a millennium-rare evil demon, an Asura emerging from Po Yi Blood Sea.”

“You’ve become a Celestial Venerable for only half a year, yet the world already suffers! If not eliminated, this will lead to greater calamities!”

“As the saying goes, ’If I don’t enter Hell, who will?’ Today, I specifically come to lead Donor Ye to Buddha!”

Ye Qingchen heard this, full of mockery.

In terms of killing, whether it was the Lingxu God who died by his hand, or the Evil Mountain Monarch, or even the nine disciples of the Evil Mountain Monarch, each one was notorious for their mass killings and countless bones.

Furthermore, even the Golden Toad Ancestor, who is traveling with them, is stained with blood.

Yet.

Venerable Duoe did not care in the slightest, choosing to turn a blind eye and deaf ear, simply because he felt threatened by Ye Qingchen’s overwhelming strength.

“Why are you here?”

Ye Qingchen turned his gaze upon the last of them, the Golden Toad Ancestor.

“Haha, Ye Qingchen, I am not as hypocritical as Monk Duoe and the Wine Sword Daoist. The world says you are either an old monster reborn, a strong being possessing a new body, or else you carry an ultimate treasure!”

The Golden Toad Ancestor laughed loudly, his eyes greedily fixed on Ye Qingchen, saying:

“Even if Monk Duoe hadn’t come to me, I would have sought you out myself. What’s more, they invited me to join in, so why would I refuse? However, if you reveal your powerful secret to me, I will turn around and leave without looking back!”

“If you won’t, then I’ll have no choice but to extract your spirit and forcibly interrogate it!”

“Haha!”

Ye Qingchen’s eyes glinted with sarcasm.

After his battle with the Evil Mountain Monarch on the Great Wilderness Mountain that day, he was not afraid when faced with the joint effort of the Golden Toad Ancestor and the other two, let alone now that he has reached the Celestial Venerable Second Layer, becoming even slightly stronger than before.

Golden Toad Ancestor, Venerable Duoe, Wine Sword Daoist, none of these three are not the most outstanding Celestial Venerables in the world. There are rumors that if the three join forces, they could contend with him in battle.

But how could Ye Qingchen ever feel fear?

The path of martial prowess is inherently against the heavens, with bones as the road, blood as the guide. If fear held him back, how could he have reached the heights he stands on today all by himself!

“Just with you?”

Ye Qingchen’s gaze grew increasingly cold,

“I originally planned to seek you out once before leaving the Barbaric Continent. Never did I expect you to deliver yourselves here. The world claims that if you three unite, you could battle me—do you really have this ability!”

“Whether we can, we’ll know after we fight!”

The Wine Sword Immortal squinted his eyes, fingers closing around the long sword on his back.

His entire being condensed with Sword Qi, unwavering!

Like a dormant volcano, ready to erupt at any moment!

“Donor Ye, today this humble monk will act on behalf of the heavens to subdue you, this Extremely Evil Asura!”

Venerable Duoe stepped forward, his demeanor like that of a Vajra with glaring eyes, yet a Bodhisattva with a lowered gaze.

Although he appeared calm,

it was as if he was a vast, endless ocean, ready to unleash a wave that could engulf the heavens and the earth at any moment.

“Mr. Ye, since the three of us dared to come, we have naturally made all the necessary preparations. As long as you hand over the secret, I will leave immediately… without any regrets.”

The Golden Toad Ancestor had a mischievous look on his face.

But the golden toad he sat upon was already tense, as if ready to strike at any moment.

The three might have gathered here for different interests, but at this moment, they all shared the same target: Ye Qingchen!

Three powerful auras suddenly poured down from above like a torrent, unstoppable and vast, as if formed by three great mountains, pressing down fiercely.

“Boom!”

Amidst a loud crash, the already dilapidated Ye Family Ancestral Hall could no longer withstand it and instantly turned into dust.

More than that,

this aura surged forth like a fierce wind sweeping the heavens and the earth, pressing relentlessly towards Ye Qingchen. Instantly, the auras of the three locked onto Ye Qingchen.

If Ye Qingchen dared to act, he would face a devastating strike from the three.

Under this immense pressure, Yao Qing’s eyes revealed fear.

She never imagined that these three would chase them this far. Just seeing them standing proudly in the void, surrounded by a forest of Sword Qi, swirling poison smoke, or chanting Brahmin songs, their fierce presence was even more terrifying than the Evil Mountain Monarch on that day.

Now that the three were pressing in, what choice would Ye Qingchen make?

“Master?”

Yao Qing looked on in worry.

However,

Ye Qingchen was completely indifferent, leisurely holding his hands behind his back, taking a step forward.

This step seemed casual, yet it was like the Great Wilderness Mountain crashing down, directly crushing the very center of the three’s auras. It was as if he had stepped on their qi gates, and the tidal wave of aura surging towards him reversed like a flood from the nine heavens!

In that instant, the expressions of the three Celestial Venerables changed in unison.

“We must not let this Asura turn the tables!”

With a hint of abnormal flush on his face, Venerable Duoe shouted in a deep voice and attacked first.

He turned his hands, grasping the Nine Dragon Bodhisattva Zen Staff, wielding a vast Buddhist light, and, like Mount Tai pressing down, it fiercely bore down on Ye Qingchen!

“Boom!”

The void shattered, resonating mightily.

The Zen Staff crushed down, the space trembled, subduing dragons and tigers!

“Kill!”

The Wine Sword Immortal’s eyes sharpened, and he abruptly formed a seal.

“Zzzap!”

It was as if lightning flashed across the void.

The long sword behind him rang as it unsheathed, swiftly transforming into a fierce sword light, like a swimming dragon or silver flood dragon, surpassing the speed of attack, and in an instant, it crossed hundreds of feet, tearing the void apart.

In a flash, it was already in front of Ye Qingchen!

“Quaa!”

The last to strike was the Golden Toad Ancestor.

This Poison King suddenly patted the golden toad beneath him, and the giant toad, like a small mountain, suddenly opened its mouth, spewing out a beam of emerald green light.

If observed carefully,

this emerald light was composed of countless slender green poison needles, each needle capable of killing a Celestial Venerable with its deadly venom!

These three Celestial Venerables had come specifically for Ye Qingchen.

Now they had finally made their move.

And when they struck, it was with their most powerful killing moves, giving Ye Qingchen no chance of survival, leaving him no retreat!

“Good! Good! Good!”

Amidst the overwhelming attack from the three, who were the strongest Celestial Venerables of eight hundred years ago, facing the crushing force of their attacks,

Ye Qingchen remained fearless, instead bursting into laughter, “Today, I will spill your blood across the skies and thoroughly destroy you stubborn old fools!”

As Ye Qingchen finished speaking,

he suddenly stepped forward, unleashing a torrent of powerful aura that surged from him, like a furious blaze reaching the sky!
