“I told you to let him go!” Nangong Baixue seethed, truly enraged. She had explicitly commanded Ye Chen to spare Qin Wang, yet he hadn't listened. Now, Qin Wang was dead!
Beyond the fact that Qin Wang was merely a wisp of Ancestor Dao Yi’s obsession, a flicker of reluctance stirred deep within Nangong Baixue. After all, the man had been her perfect simp, her devoted lickspittle. She had grown accustomed to his groveling adoration. Now, an unexpected void echoed in her heart.
Killing intent surged from Nangong Baixue, growing stronger with every beat. The Supreme Scripture churned wildly within her, its destructive power manifesting as a colossal white lotus blossoming behind her.
“I’ll kill you, Ye Chen!” she shrieked. Though Ye Chen was now a One-star Supreme, she felt no fear. She could draw upon Liu Ruyan’s power!
“Supreme Emotion Severing!” A Spirit Sword materialized in Nangong Baixue’s hand, radiating an icy aura as if from the deepest frozen abyss. This was Rule Power! With a decisive sweep, she declared, “Sever!” The power of the Supreme Scripture could sever all.
Whoosh! A boundless river of white sword qi, infused with chilling cold, tore through the void, slashing directly towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen scoffed, a cold sneer on his lips, and unleashed a punch. Boom! The power of his Martial Dao erupted like a burning sun, a terrifying roar accompanying the strike as it utterly obliterated the white sword qi.
Pfft! Nangong Baixue coughed up a mouthful of essence blood, her body sent hurtling tens of thousands of feet away. She was gravely injured.
The onlookers gasped in utter shock. Not long ago, Nangong Baixue had used this very same sword strike to heavily wound Old Ancestor Dao Feng! Yet, against Ye Chen, the attack was utterly crushed, leaving her completely overwhelmed. The disparity was stark! Ye Chen was truly invincible beneath the Supreme Realm! And even then, the White Robe Supreme hadn’t even made a move to kill her.
The faces of the Supreme Profound Sect disciples were ashen. Xiao Fan, Lord of Dark Shadow Island, and the powerful experts of the three Holy Alliance factions were equally pale, their expressions like death masks. Ancestor Dao Yi had initially crushed the Grand Dao Sect, but who could have predicted that with the White Robe Supreme’s arrival, the situation would completely reverse? Their only hope now was for Ancestor Liu Ruyan of the Supreme Profound Sect to descend upon them as quickly as possible! Once Liu Ruyan arrived, the White Robe Supreme and Ye Chen would be nothing more than ants!
Just then, a muffled groan escaped Nangong Baixue. As she struggled to rise from the void, Ye Chen was already before her. Smack! A resounding slap landed squarely on Nangong Baixue’s left cheek. She was sent flying tens of thousands of feet away, her left cheek swelling grotesquely.
“You dare strike me—” Nangong Baixue gritted out, but before she could finish, another slap from Ye Chen connected. Smack! Again, Nangong Baixue was sent hurtling tens of thousands of feet, her right cheek now equally swollen.
In quick succession, Ye Chen appeared before Nangong Baixue once more. Smack, smack, smack! Nangong Baixue was utterly defenseless! Ye Chen’s power was completely overwhelming! Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, filled with a mix of fury and murderous intent. This moment was eerily familiar, a brutal echo of her beating in Cloud City.
Thud! Ye Chen’s fist slammed into Nangong Baixue’s eye, instantly blackening the area around it and making her head spin with stars.
“That you’ve survived this long is truly my mistake!” Ye Chen declared, his fists raining down like a furious storm. Nangong Baixue’s body convulsed with each brutal impact, a helpless puppet in his hands. She was being utterly thrashed!
“Ahhh! Stop! You’ll break me!” Nangong Baixue shrieked, her pleas echoing through the air.
The next instant, Ye Chen seized Nangong Baixue by her hair and slammed her into the void! Supreme Dao Patterns coalesced, forming an illusory platform. Boom! Nangong Baixue’s body crashed onto the ethereal stage, leaving her disoriented and battered, her internal organs feeling as if they had shifted. Boom! He slammed her down again! Pfft, pfft, pfft! Nangong Baixue began to vomit blood uncontrollably.
Everyone present drew a sharp breath. Hiss! Nangong Baixue’s plight was truly horrific! Before Ye Chen, she had no power to resist, suffering a completely one-sided, brutal beating!
Moments later, a murderous glint appeared in Ye Chen’s eyes. “Die!” He brought down a punch. Boom! This strike was imbued with the full might of his Martial Dao, a complete Supreme power. A colossal fist print, surging with Rule Power, descended directly towards Nangong Baixue’s body!
All observers were stunned. If that punch landed, Nangong Baixue would undoubtedly perish!
But suddenly, a cold voice echoed from within Nangong Baixue’s body. “Stop!” It was Liu Ruyan’s voice!
Boom! From Nangong Baixue’s Storage Ring, a painting scroll suddenly tumbled out! In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from the scroll, an intensely blazing light spreading outwards like a colossal sun.
Everyone was utterly stunned. What kind of supreme treasure was this? From the direction of the Supreme Profound Sect, Taichen Old Ancestor and the others grew incredibly agitated. “That’s our sect’s foundational treasure, the Ancestor’s Reincarnation Painting!” “With this artifact, the Saintess can surely hold out until Ancestor Liu Ruyan descends!”
The Ancestor’s Reincarnation Painting! The next moment, the scroll slowly began to unfurl. The first corner revealed a pair of exquisite Jade feet. They were utterly perfect, treading upon petals of Divine Radiance, incredibly fair and delicate, so alluring one couldn’t help but want to bite them.
The painting continued to unfurl, revealing tender white ankles, then perfectly fair calves, followed by long, slender thighs. Though merely a painting, it was so lifelike that it seemed Liu Ruyan herself stood before them!
Next came Liu Ruyan’s jade back, incredibly fair and exposed in a backless display! An alluring charm, like a vast net, began to weave itself across the entire space. This was imbued with Liu Ruyan’s Dao and Momentum! All who gazed upon it fell into a trance, ensnared by Liu Ruyan’s Dao!
Soon, Liu Ruyan’s Snow-white neck was revealed, followed by her head. Boom! Within the painting, Liu Ruyan began to slowly turn. As she turned, her aura grew increasingly powerful, showing signs of stepping into the Supreme Realm! This was because Liu Ruyan was drawing ever closer to the Tai Chu Realm, her power continuously pouring into the painting.
With a single, captivating glance from Liu Ruyan, the distant spectators all wept, unable to bear the overwhelming aura! Such terror! This was the Dao of an Ascended Supreme! In that moment, everyone was utterly stunned; it was simply too terrifying! All that from a mere turn of her head!
Ye Chen scoffed, “Another filthy bitch!” He activated the Desolate Heaven Art! His white robe billowed as he unleashed a direct punch towards the painting. At that very moment, Liu Ruyan’s aura within the scroll fully stepped into the Supreme Realm! Her jade hand moved, striking out with a palm towards Ye Chen.
Boom! Two terrifyingly absolute powers collided, like two stars crashing together. But Ye Chen’s strength was immense; in mere moments, Liu Ruyan’s power began to dissipate. The painting scroll started to shatter incessantly! Her Dao had been utterly broken by Ye Chen!
Witnessing this, everyone was utterly dumbfounded!
