"What?"

At this moment.

Everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Originally.

In their view, Ye Qingchen, who should have died in the grand array, not only survived and broke into this place, but also emptied the spirit pool right in front of them!

Boom!

Almost simultaneously.

After devouring the Spirit Spring, Ye Qingchen's aura soared rapidly in a terrifying manner. In the shocked gaze of the crowd, various phenomena appeared on Ye Qingchen's body.

Above Ye Qingchen's head, a starry sky suddenly appeared. This sky held only thirteen stars, but they were connected, forming a galaxy.

Beside Ye Qingchen, the phantom of a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared, quietly revolving around his body, as if protecting him at the center.

Behind Ye Qingchen, a silhouette appeared, its features blurred and almost indistinguishable, but exuding a sharp brilliance!

These were the three major skills of Ye Qingchen:

Nine Revolutions Star Technique!

Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique!

Sword Force!

And as these three phenomena appeared.

Ye Qingchen's aura seemed to have climbed a step, directly reaching the Celestial Saint Realm.

"He actually broke through to the Celestial Saint!"

Cining couldn't help but be stunned.

However.

What shocked him even more was that Ye Qingchen's aura showed no sign of stabilizing but was instead rising crazily at a more terrifying pace.

Boom!

In the shocked gaze of the crowd.

Ye Qingchen leaped once again, directly reaching the Celestial Saint Second Layer!

Moreover.

After reaching the Celestial Saint Second Layer, Ye Qingchen's aura showed no sign of stopping and was heading in a terrifying trend towards the Celestial Saint Third Layer!

At this moment.

Cining could no longer hold back.

He had initially hated Ye Qingchen to the core for killing Ci Yuan.

Now seeing that Ye Qingchen not only didn't die in the grand array as he had imagined, but also entered this place and devoured the spirit pool. And now, he was attempting to break through repeatedly in front of them. How could Cining swallow this anger!

Boom!

Cining suddenly let out a furious roar, and Demonic Qi exploded from his body like a spring, instantly enveloping the entire sky in overwhelming black mist. At the same time, his entire aura soared wildly!

"Ye Qingchen, die for me!"

At this moment, he unleashed his full prowess of the Celestial Saint Fifth Heaven.

Amidst the rolling, violent Demonic Qi.

Cining fiercely shot towards Ye Qingchen, like a black lightning streaking across the void, and in an instant, it blazed to Ye Qingchen's front, striking down on his head with a mighty palm!

How terrifying was this stance of Cining?

The people of the Red Flame Sect and Celestial Dragon Sect were all horrified and changed color upon seeing this scene. Clearly, they had realized that Cining wasn't only aiming to interrupt Ye Qingchen's breakthrough to the Celestial Saint Third Heaven, but also to kill him on the spot!

Swoosh!

The fierce wind swept through, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Let's see if he still won't die!"

The people of the Red Flame Sect clenched their jaws tightly.

Clearly, they bore a grudge against Ye Qingchen for mercilessly destroying their Sect Leader in the valley earlier.

In their view.

Even if Ye Qingchen was doomed to die, though he had reached the Celestial Saint Second Layer, he had just broken through and his realm was unstable. Moreover, Cining was still three realms above him. Wouldn't it be easy to kill him?

However.

No one expected that Ye Qingchen, sitting calmly with his eyes still closed, merely flicked a hand to block Cining's attack with immense force.

"How is this possible?"

Cining's pupils shrank.

He could never have imagined that this would be the result.

"Asura Claw!"

Cining roared, and his Demonic Qi surged threefold in that instant. As he twisted his right hand, Demonic Qi rolled and gathered over his palm, forming a beast claw covered in black scales in a flash, tearing through the air, and clawing fiercely towards Ye Qingchen!

After that, without the slightest pause, he suddenly swung another claw down swiftly.

Crack!

In an instant, the void space was filled with howling gusts of wind.

This was clearly not an ordinary move. Even though Cining continuously executed it, he couldn't help but pause for a slight gasp of breath.

However.

He looked up to see Ye Qingchen seated in the void, not having moved at all. With just one hand, he had already forcefully blocked all of Cining's attacks.

"I don't believe I can't kill you!"

Seeing this scene.

Rage boiled within Cining. He grasped his right hand, and a three-inch long Demon-Subduing Pestle appeared within his grasp. This pestle had a peculiar shape, covered with mysterious patterns, and was shrouded in a chilling black mist.

This time, instead of striking like before, he stood motionless.

"Buzz!"

The void suddenly trembled as the infinite spiritual qi in the world seemed to be drawn, pouring into the Demon-Subduing Pestle, transforming into surging demonic flames. This opening move was several times more mysterious than before.

The surrounding people, witnessing this, couldn't help but become solemn.

"Cining is angered!"

Ci Hen slightly furrowed his brows.

"This kid, dying under the Demon-Subduing Pestle, may never be reborn!"

Another disciple of the Celestial God Sect sneered coldly.

The others also wore cold smiles.

Needless to say.

The Demon-Subduing Pestles of their Celestial God Sect were all forged with Netherworld Stone, whose greatest purpose was to suppress the soul. Anyone who died under the Demon-Subduing Pestle would have their soul confined within, never to be reborn.

"Boom!"

With his opening move completed, Cining smiled sinisterly.

Immediately, he swung his right hand, and the Demon-Subduing Pestle shot out. In an instant, the demonic flames surrounding it, like an accumulated tide, also surged out at the same time, rushing towards Ye Qingchen!

From afar, it looked like a vast black tide, as if it were going to engulf everything in the world!

"Booming!"

In everyone's eyes.

The Demon-Subduing Pestle struck Ye Qingchen heavily, bursting out with a thunderous explosion, filling the entire valley with sound.

A surging gust of wind swept out from the center of the explosion, instantly tearing the Celestial Saint's Hut apart. Everything around, all the trees were uprooted, even the Celestial God Sect members had to retreat again and again under the force of this wind!

"It's over!"

Upon seeing this scene.

A sinister smile appeared on Cining's face.

The other members of the Celestial God Sect nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with the power of this strike. As for the people from the Red Flame Sect and Celestial Dragon Sect, a sense of pleasure flickered in their eyes.

Clearly.

No one present believed that Ye Qingchen could withstand this blow.

"How is this possible?"

However.

At this moment, Cining's expression suddenly changed, exclaiming in surprise.

"This is?"

Immediately, Ci Hen's expression also changed drastically. The others from the Celestial God Sect widened their eyes in disbelief.

"What on earth is happening?"

The people from the Red Flame Sect and Celestial Dragon Sect widened their eyes as well.

They saw.

The dust in front gradually dissipated, revealing a strange scene.

Ye Qingchen was still seated in the void, his hands clasping the Demon-Subduing Pestle tightly. The pestle was less than half an inch from his brow, seemingly about to pierce his forehead but unable to advance any further!

However.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen had unknowingly opened his eyes.

He was looking at Cining in front of him with a half-smile, casually saying:

"You've attacked so many times, now it's my turn!"

As his words fell.

Ye Qingchen suddenly stood up.

The aura that had originally surged to its extreme at this moment abruptly increased by another threefold. In the incredulous eyes of the crowd, he stepped directly into the Celestial Saint Third Heaven!

In the eyes of the people, it was like a Holy Mountain rising from the ground, giving an impression of unreachability, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath, with its sharp edge exposed to the fullest!
