Chapter 338: Part 2
When Silent Spirit Venerable was sent flying, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Not only were the countless spectators speechless, but even the powerful figures from various factions, including Great Advancement experts, were utterly stunned.
Previously, no one believed in Ye Chen.
Many even speculated he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single attack, a sentiment widely agreed upon.
Yet, no one had anticipated this outcome.
Ye Chen struck first, completely overpowering Silent Spirit Venerable, who had a realm’s advantage, and sending him flying.
This scene defied all expectations, utterly absurd.
—
Above the clouds, Yan Bailu’s face was brimming with joy.
Her jade-like feet lightly swayed on the cloud’s edge, an enchanting sight.
Beside her, the Supreme Elder was equally astonished.
However, he quickly regained his composure and nodded in admiration.
“Silent Spirit Venerable underestimated his opponent.
“If he had used his full strength, he wouldn’t have been this embarrassed.
“That said, Ye Chen’s strength is greater than I expected.
“However, no matter how strong Ye Chen is, the enemy has the advantage in numbers.
“Even if only two of them attack at the same time, Ye Chen will find himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
“Yan Bailu, in the future, when you reach the Great Advancement Realm and face multiple opponents, you must utilize a sword cultivator’s speed advantage to separate them and defeat them one by one. Don’t act like Ye Chen, flaunting arrogance as though he could take on ten enemies at once. It’s absurdly reckless.”
The Supreme Elder used this as a teaching opportunity to lecture Yan Bailu, while also pointing out Ye Chen’s flaws.
In the void above, Samsara Sovereign, seated on the Yin-Yang Millstone, finally showed a reaction.
With a hint of astonishment, his gaze swept over Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, within the bronze war chariot, the ancient battlefield patterns engraved upon it glimmered, and its window automatically opened.
A pair of eyes locked onto Ye Chen, exuding the same shock.
Neither spoke, but their hearts were shaken.
They knew that Silent Spirit Venerable was a top-tier mid-stage Great Advancement cultivator.
No one dared claim they could easily defeat him.
Yet now, Silent Spirit Venerable had been overpowered and sent flying three thousand miles by Ye Chen, who was at a lower realm.
This exceeded all expectations.
Though both were arrogant, they were not fools.
They now realized the truth they had overlooked earlier. Ye Chen, despite being a whole realm lower, possessed power that warranted their full attention and surpassed their imagination.
This realization caused murderous intent to surge in their eyes.
The more monstrous Ye Chen appeared, the less he could be allowed to live.
Initially, they had planned to let Silent Spirit Venerable handle Ye Chen.
Now, they prepared to intervene personally, determined to eliminate Ye Chen with overwhelming force to avoid unforeseen complications.
However, before they could make a move, Ye Chen’s voice resounded once more. “Are you two just going to stay silent and keep pretending to be big shots?”
The two were taken aback, their faces showing disbelief.
Before they could respond, a rumbling sound erupted from the heavens.
A colossal hand of purple-gold energy emerged, tearing through the clouds and casting its brilliance across thirty thousand miles, crashing down upon the two.
Even before the purple-gold hand descended, its terrifying aura caused the ground below to collapse, mountains to crumble, and ancient trees to snap, creating an apocalyptic scene.
With Silent Spirit Venerable’s example fresh in their minds, the two dared not underestimate their opponent.
They instantly unleashed their strongest divine abilities.
Samsara Sovereign summoned Yin-Yang energy, forming a colossal black spear the size of a mountain, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens, and launched it upward.
As the bronze war chariot activated, the countless bloodstains on its surface began to emit divine light.
Faint silhouettes appeared on the war chariot, as though ancient battle spirits had been revived.
An overwhelming aura of slaughter surged into the sky.
Heavenly horses galloped, pulling the bronze war chariot with unstoppable momentum toward the descending purple-gold hand.
The two cultivators reacted swiftly, but neither had expected Ye Chen to be so audacious.
With merely an earl Great Advancement cultivation, he dared to attack both of them simultaneously.
Their initial surprise quickly gave way to seething fury.
Both were invincible within their realms, celebrated figures of their era.
Even those at higher stages would not dare to underestimate them.
Yet Ye Chen, a full realm lower, showed such blatant disregard for them. It was a true insult.
Their killing intent became almost tangible.
They planned to shatter the purple-gold hand and then turn to obliterate Ye Chen.
Since neither of them could claim sole credit for defeating him, they decided to utterly annihilate him, body and soul.
Countless spectators were equally shocked as they watched this scene unfold.
They frantically retreated, fearing they might be caught in the aftermath.
A battle involving Great Advancement experts was truly apocalyptic, far more terrifying than they had imagined.
But why was Ye Chen acting so recklessly?
Did he really intend to fight all three of them at once?
“Attacking two Sovereigns at the same time… Whatever else you say, Ye Chen’s audacity is truly astounding!”
“The Yin-Yang Spear unleashed by Samsara Sovereign is the most powerful divine technique of the Samsara Sacred Land. In ancient times, a terrifying existence from the Sacred Land used it to nail a Great Advancement cultivator to death at their mountain gate.”
“Immortal Life Dao Sovereign’s bronze war chariot has also revealed its true might, summoning ancient battle spirits and becoming unstoppable.”
“How can Ye Chen possibly withstand such divine abilities?”
The experts from Mingwang Province, who had always disliked Ye Chen, were elated.
With Samsara Sovereign and Immortal Life Dao Sovereign making their move, it was certain Ye Chen would be suppressed.
Amid countless gazes, the black spear and bronze war chariot struck the purple-gold hand simultaneously.
The descending hand was momentarily halted, frozen in midair.
This sight made the cultivators from Mingwang Province’s blood boil.
In their eyes, the two Sovereigns, having gotten serious, were completely beyond Ye Chen’s ability to resist.
But in the next moment, a scene that shocked countless cultivators unfolded.
After a brief pause, the purple-gold hand moved again.
The Yin-Yang Spear, which seemed capable of piercing the heavens, shattered into pieces and dissolved into Yin-Yang energy.
The unstoppable ancient war chariot faltered. Its heavenly horses let out mournful cries, and the battle spirits were extinguished.
The purple-gold hand suppressed it directly, slamming it downward.
Samsara Sovereign, who had summoned the Yin-Yang Spear, was unable to escape.
He, along with the bronze war chariot, was slammed into the ground by the giant hand.
The countless cultivators who had anticipated Ye Chen’s fall
were left wide-eyed, doubting reality itself.
The Supreme Elder, who had been using this battle to teach Yan Bailu, had just been pointing out Ye Chen’s supposed mistakes.
He believed Ye Chen’s decision to use a single divine ability against two opponents
would dilute its power, rendering it ineffective.
He called it a classic example of a futile attack, a major taboo in high-level combat.
However, before he could finish his explanation, he was stunned into silence by what he witnessed.
Ye Chen’s single strike had suppressed both Samsara Sovereign and Immortal Life Dao Sovereign.
This…
How is this even possible?
