194: Chapter 193 Great Battle

"After all, it's just an imprint left behind by the Ancestral Master when Undergoing Tribulation back then, not the Ancestral Master himself. With Ye Qingxuan's strength, it's not a problem. To take a step back, Ye Qingxuan has already learned Tiangang Divine Power and Nine Breaths Qi Ingestion. Even if he can't beat them, he can stall for time."

Master Yuanxin saw the identities of the eight figures and immediately felt at ease. Without Patriarch Lü and True Person Sanfeng, his disciple could grind them down purely with Divine Ability.

Qingming: "Can Ye Qingxuan really endure the siege of eight Mahayana figures..."

Master Yuanxin stroked his beard and smiled: "Eldest, don't you all forget, your Junior Brother is the number one Sword Cultivator of Shangqing and even the entire cultivation world."

At the same time, Master Yuanxin's words were also comforting Qingling and Bai Yuekui. The meaning was very simple: rest assured, your husband is fine, just wait in peace.

There was no other way. Damn it, those two Body Integration Stage individuals were making such a fuss with fluctuating Auras, and a group of Void Return 'ants' like them couldn't take the tossing.

Sure enough, Master Yuanxin's words quieted down the two women who were about to snap.

The battlefield under the Heavenly Tribulation

Eight figures instantly and simultaneously appeared in front of Ye Qingxuan, and were beaten back by Ye Qingxuan the moment they made contact.

However, a black thunder fingerprint appeared on Ye Qingxuan's body.

Furthermore, the thunder contained within it continuously eroded Ye Qingxuan's magic power.

After feeling it, Ye Qingxuan's expression turned solemn.

"This is the Divine Empyrean Thunder Technique?! As expected of Lin Lingsu. I can't drag this out any longer. I must finish this quickly; there are still three strongest ones waiting for me."

A cold flash flickered, and the cangmang sword leaped out of its sheath in response.

The sword body hummed and vibrated, and the spirit's chirping Sichuan dialect sounded: "Master! You finally deigned to use me! Watch me help chop them flying!"

The cangmang sword had held back for a long time, and as soon as it came out, it chattered endlessly. It was only this talkative when maintaining its true form; once it transformed into a human shape, it immediately turned into a timid ostrich.

Ye Qingxuan brought his fingers together to gently stroke the sword body, speaking in a deep voice: "Stop messing around, prepare for battle."

As his voice fell, he chanted the Nine-Word Formula in his mouth: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

Immediately followed by executing the Divine Ability: "Mingle with Dust!"

Ye Qingxuan's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

The next instant, among the eight figures, a cold light suddenly rose before the imprint of Ancestral Master Bodhidharma.

A sword pierced through the heart!

Under the dual blessings of the Nine-Word Formula and Xiaoyao Great Dao, Ye Qingxuan's Zhuxian Sword Intent was infinitely amplified, and its power surged several times over.

The imprint left behind by Ancestral Master Bodhidharma directly dissipated in response.

The crowd below watched with their own eyes as Ye Qingxuan eliminated Ancestral Master Bodhidharma's imprint with a single sword, causing the entire audience to erupt.

Qingling and Bai Yuekui were so excited that they jumped up in place.

Lin Yao and Yun Huan exchanged glances, couldn't help turning around, raising their hands, and slapping a high-five fiercely, their faces full of joy.

Xiaojiu was very clever and had run away long ago. At this moment, it was honestly squatting on Ximo's head to watch the commotion.

Only the group of monks from Shaolin Temple had ugly expressions, their faces as black as charcoal.

They felt incomparably aggrieved in their hearts.

Yes, you Ye Qingxuan are indeed strong, the number one Genius of the cultivation world, and the strongest Cultivator in the entire cultivation world.

But no matter how strong you are, you shouldn't publicly crush the imprint of their Shaolin Ancestral Master with a single sword! This clearly made their Shaolin Ancestral Master look weak in combat power.

The group of monks felt extremely unhappy to the extreme, yet not a single one dared to open their mouths to complain.

Anyone who dared to say one more word of nonsense would definitely be punished on the spot by all the Daoist experts present, especially Master Yuanxin and the others.

Furthermore, Buddhism's only Body Integration expert, Duyuan, would definitely just stand by and watch the show, refusing to help them out at all.

This was simply because before the Era of Dharma Ending, Shaolin Temple's conduct throughout the cultivation world and even the mortal realm had a terrible reputation, with hardly anyone willing to speak up for them.

Moreover, given what a certain Abbot Shi did a few years ago, it was already a miracle that Ye Qingxuan hadn't wiped them out.

The destroyed phantom turned into lightning light, which was directly guided and absorbed by Ye Qingxuan using Divine Ability. Then, his magic power circulated, and his body began to glow.

His Physical Body became slightly stronger. The imprint was transformed from the Origin of the Heavenly Tribulation, containing destruction and the vitality of creation.

Ye Qingxuan smiled, smiling very brightly.

"Hehe, as expected, this is truly higher risk, higher reward! Body Refining via Heavenly Tribulation is still the fastest."

Ye Qingxuan felt that his idea was not wrong.

Looking at the eyes of the other Ancestral Master phantoms, he became increasingly fiery, as if he were looking at medicinal herbs.

His entire Aura suddenly surged, and the Sword Intent around him turned into a long sword.

"Come on! Qinglian Sword Song!"

In an instant, boundless Sword Intent turned into blossoming green lotuses all over the sky, covering the remaining seven phantoms.

These manifested phantoms were merely imprints left behind by the Heavenly Dao.

They possessed only absolute reason, obeying the instructions of the Heavenly Dao to temper the person Undergoing Tribulation.

In an instant, the remaining seven figures simultaneously struck out, each unleashing their strongest Divine Ability.

The phantom of Ancestral Master Qin from the Heavenly Demon Palace rapidly formed hand incantations, pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground. His body instantly expanded several hundredfold, unleashing the Tiangang Divine Ability—As You Will.

Celestial Master Sa's phantom was not to be outdone either, his double fingers flipping rapidly. Golden light enveloped his entire body, carrying supreme might as he rushed straight to kill Ye Qingxuan—Golden Light on Earth.

Bang bang bang bang!

Both sides continuously and fiercely collided. Celestial Master Sa's Divine Ability shattered patch after patch of sword lotuses, but Ye Qingxuan's Sword Intent was endless. No matter how many were shattered, as many could be re-condensed, making them completely inexhaustible.

Immediately afterwards, the phantom of Ancestral Master Ge Hong raised his hand and flicked it, condensing hundreds of points of light and scattering them casually.

The light spots all over the sky landed and took form, turning into mighty golden-armored warriors, each with the strength of the Undergoing Tribulation Stage. It was precisely the Tiangang Divine Ability—Spreading Beans into Soldiers.

Daoji's phantom was also unwilling to lag behind. With a thought, golden dragons coiled around his body, charging straight towards Ye Qingxuan to kill him.

He directly circulated his Divine Ability. The moment he struck, heaven and earth changed color, and endless thunder, fierce winds, and torrential rain swept towards Ye Qingxuan in unison.

At the same time, Daoji simultaneously activated two Tiangang Divine Abilities: Subduing Dragons and Tigers, and Summoning Wind and Rain, executing them together.

Facing the fierce onslaught of the various Ancestral Master phantoms, Ye Qingxuan did not flinch in the slightest.

Isn't it just Tiangang Divine Ability? Who doesn't know how?

He also synchronized the execution of Tiangang Divine Ability.

The two Divine Abilities of Size Manipulation and Subduing Dragons and Tigers were activated simultaneously. His Dharma form and Physical Body merged, instantly transforming into a giant supporting the heavens and earth, towering a full several thousand meters tall.

Ye Qingxuan was secretly alarmed.

The consumption of Tiangang Divine Ability was truly terrifying.

Even with Nine Breaths Qi Ingestion continuously regenerating mana for endurance, he could hold on for at most two hours.

He must finish this quickly!

Then he began to execute the sword formula, Heart Sword Seven Styles, Severing Flow.

The Severing Flow sword stance—the function of this sword strike was to sever the connection between the opponent and heaven and earth.

These seven figures were merely Heavenly Tribulation imprints, and their Origin of power relied on the supply of the Heavenly Dao. When Ye Qingxuan's sword fell, it forcibly severed the connection between the seven phantoms and the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, their magic power could no longer be replenished. The consumption of Mahayana-level Tiangang Divine Abilities was already terrifying, and without the support of the Heavenly Dao's power,

the Auras of the four figures—Qin Ning, Ge Hong, Daoji, and Celestial Master Sa—dropped drastically on the spot.

Just as Ye Qingxuan intended to press the attack while taking advantage of the momentum, a sharp Zhuxian Sword Qi suddenly broke through the air to strike.

Without needing to think, he knew it was his own Ancestral Master Gu Changsheng who had struck. He also raised his hand to wave out a Sword Qi to confront it head-on, and the two sword lights violently collided and annihilated each other.

Ye Qingxuan did not plan to continue slowly consuming time; there was still a major battle waiting for him behind, so he immediately sacrificed the cangmang sword.

"Cangmang, go!"

"Got it! Watch my sword formula!!"

The cangmang sword understood tacitly, its sword body shaking as it continuously executed the sword formula.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan sacrificed the human emperor banner once again, shaking it fiercely:

"human emperor banner, release them all!"

"Master, really release them all?" Hearing Bai Yuekui's voice beside his ear, yet speaking in the Central Plains dialect, Ye Qingxuan instantly thought of something and his mouth twitched.

"Stop talking and just do it!"

"Alright then! Little ones, all of you come out for me!"

Ye Qingxuan almost couldn't hold back and directly threw away the human emperor banner.

Immediately, hundreds of millions of vengeful spirits flew out from the banner, like moths flying into a flame, surging toward the seven figures.

His hands rapidly formed Dharma incantations. Rolling thunder light rose above the thousand-zhang giant's body, and blue-purple, highly destructive thunder continuously surged out from his seven orifices.

He knew that these vengeful spirits were weak as hell and couldn't block them for long, but being able to stall for a little time was enough.

The spectators below looked at the fierce collision of Tiangang Divine Abilities all over the sky, all staring in astonishment. Having practiced cultivation for so many years, they had never witnessed such a large-scale brawl of Tiangang Divine Abilities with their own eyes.

Celestial Master Zhang saw Ye Qingxuan's posture at the moment and couldn't help crying out in shock: "Good fellow, he is planning to activate Mastering the Five Thunders? Is it really stable to execute this Divine Ability within this Heavenly Tribulation?"

Master Yuanxin saw this, approval flashing in his eyes, and spoke to explain to the crowd full of doubts:

"Qingxuan's idea is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize control of this thunder from the hands of the Heavenly Dao. Mastering the Five Thunders inherently possesses the ability to command the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens, and right now is the best timing."

Qingling and Bai Yuekui were the pillow partners who understood Ye Qingxuan best, and both of them noticed at the first moment that Ye Qingxuan's expression was wrong.

Bai Yuekui couldn't help asking with confusion: "Sister Ningshuang, why do I feel that Qingxuan's expression just now was a bit hard to describe?"

Qingling recalled it, and indeed it was so. It only became like that after Ye Qingxuan took out the human emperor banner.

She suddenly paused midway through her sentence, looked again at the cangmang sword dancing in mid-air, and instantly guessed the reason.

Then she turned her head to look at Bai Yuekui, gently instructing: "Xiaobai, wait until Qingxuan finishes Undergoing Tribulation before you ask him. Remember, don't get angry no matter what."

As Qingling spoke, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Bai Yuekui listened with total confusion and a blank face, what was this all about? Why should she get angry?

Bai Yuetian, who was standing nearby, watched the two sisters whispering in secret, and couldn't help scratching his head.

Following that, he looked towards mid-air, watching the human emperor banner shaking in Ye Qingxuan's hand and seeing hundreds of millions of vengeful spirits surging out overwhelmingly, couldn't help clicking his tongue in amazement:

"Good fellow! How many people did my brother-in-law kill? These vengeful spirits must be at least several hundred million!"

Qingyun curled his lips and said lightly: "What is this compared to? Look at Qingxuan's monstrous Karma; who would dare say he slaughters the innocent indiscriminately?"

Qingmo stood aside in silence, but his eyes were full of envy and longing. If he weren't afraid of being struck by heavenly punishment, Immortal Master Qingmo also wanted to refine a human emperor banner.

All the Cultivators present stared at the vengeful spirits all over the sky, all of them unable to help twitching the corners of their eyes slightly.

Especially Liangbing, whose eyes shone brightly, before being rewarded with a knuckle rap on the head by Li Qiye: "Don't even think about it. If you dare to refine one, the Heavenly Dao will dare to strike you dead."

Keisha and Hexi were terrified. Although they had seen the human emperor banner before, they didn't know there were so many inside. Especially after coming into contact with cultivation, they knew that entering the human emperor banner was even worse than total annihilation of body and soul!

This Daoist Ye had a wild enough style.

The ghosts that died at Ye Qingxuan's hands were probably more than just a few hundred million; they were likely tens of billions. Only the strong were worthy of entering the human emperor banner, and the weak were probably all refined away.

Watching countless vengeful spirits being obliterated patch by patch by the Ancestral Master phantoms' Divine Abilities, everyone couldn't help secretly complaining in their hearts.

Good fellow, this was completely being used as cannon fodder.

But it was fine either way; being able to buy a little time for Ye Qingxuan to execute his Divine Ability was enough.
