Nine Revolutions Star Technique

”This...”

The sudden surge of black glow was incredibly swift.

Just as the crowd noticed it, it had already plunged into the center of Ye Qingchen’s brow. At that moment, everyone became tense.

”That’s a Soul Seal!”

”This is bad!”

”Once this Soul Seal is imprinted on the body, unless the Sect Leader of the Celestial God Sect is killed, it is likely impossible to remove it for a lifetime!”

Witnessing this scene, everyone quickly showed worried expressions.

”Hmm?”

Ye Qingchen also frowned slightly.

His divine thoughts delved into his body, pursuing it.

He discovered that the black glow, although not taking any action, had completely lurked after entering the center of his brow. It was like a venomous snake coiling there, occupying a region.

The black glow emitted a strange energy, cold and icy, as if a pair of cryptic eyes were observing him.

Clearly.

This was the Soul Seal everyone was talking about.

”Stop pretending, get out of here!”

Although.

The black glow didn’t seem to cause any harm, but the feeling of being watched made Ye Qingchen uncomfortable.

Immediately, he coldly shouted, the surging star power roiled vigorously, rushing towards the black glow.

”Roar!”

Upon the movement of star power, the black glow became aware, instantly letting out a hiss,

leaping up to bite at Ye Qingchen.

”Boom!”

A dull sound suddenly echoed from inside Ye Qingchen.

It was seen.

An immense force erupted directly from within Ye Qingchen’s body. The violent energy, like a dust storm, swirled in a circle within several meters, then was torn apart by a fierce wind.

Even.

Under this overbearing force, even the surrounding Gongyang Yu and others were thrown away fiercely, crashing heavily to the ground.

Before they could get up, they quickly looked forward.

It was seen.

How powerful was the Nine Revolutions Star Technique?

That was a peerless art from ancient times. Although the Soul Seal was strange, it couldn’t linger in Ye Qingchen’s body. The black glow that had previously entered the center of Ye Qingchen’s brow was forcefully expelled at that moment, transforming into a cloud of black fog as dark as ink.

”Roar!”

However.

After the black fog was forced out, it issued an angry howl, swirling and transforming into a figure. This figure was not as large or eerie as the Asura Demon Aspect previously transformed by Lei Ming.

On the contrary, it was exceptionally ordinary, with a crown on its head, wearing simple garments, with a stern face and eyes seemingly gazing from the void, carrying an overwhelming and terrifying aura.

As if it came from ancient mythology.

In an instant.

An unprecedented sense of pressure appeared in everyone’s hearts, akin to a god descending to the mortal realm.

”What is that?”

”Could it be...”

Looking at this towering phantom, everyone’s expressions changed simultaneously, and almost immediately, a presence emerged in their minds.

”Do you dare slaughter the disciples of the Celestial God Sect?”

Boom!

In a roaring voice, the phantom let out an angry roar, extending a large hand menacingly towards Ye Qingchen.

”The Celestial God Sect won’t spare you!”

”Slash!”

However, Ye Qingchen didn’t care at all.

The Gui Xu Sword had already cleaved it in two from below, and with a twist mid-air, completely shredded the phantom into pieces. The shattered phantom trembled silently, turning into segments of black glow and dissipating into the void.

Yet those eyes continued to fixate on Ye Qingchen as if trying to memorize his face.

...

Simultaneously.

In the Western Domain.

Amidst the vast desert sands, a mysterious and ancient hall floated high above.

The hall was deep and profound, seemingly endless.

At the end of the hall stood an Asura Divine Statue, towering a hundred feet. This statue had over a thousand arms, spread wide as if covering the heavens and the earth. Beneath the statue sat a man clad in a black robe, wearing a crown on his head.

Seven vague figures gathered below the hall, seemingly in discussion.

The man occasionally nodded, occasionally spoke.

The seven below showed utmost respect.

Moments later.

The man seemed to think of something, inquiring aloud:

”Lei Ming has been in the Eastern Domain for over a month, has there been any progress?”

At this time, a phantom wrapped in water ripples stepped forward and said, ”Venerable Lord, Hall Master Lei traversed the Eastern Domain, slaying gods and punishing buddhas without equal opposition. According to the latest information, he has already located the supreme treasure and will return once obtained!”

”Excellent!”

The man nodded with satisfaction.

”Since Ancestor Mo Luo perished in the Eastern Domain, our Celestial God Sect has not ventured there for four hundred years. Now, let the Eastern Domain witness the might of our Celestial God Sect!” an aura as imposing as a mountain let out a hearty laugh.

”Venerable Lord, the Eastern Domain is merely a bunch of weaklings!” the water ripple phantom declared loudly. ”Even four hundred years ago, when Ancestor Mo Luo dominated the Eastern Domain, there was only one Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint.”

”Indeed, indeed, those cultivators in the Eastern Domain, if they are wise, will naturally submit to our Celestial God Sect’s divine techniques, otherwise, there will be no survivors, and we shall slaughter for three thousand miles!”

As the others nodded in agreement,

but then, the man’s body shuddered, suddenly opening his eyes wide, eyes as piercing as if they could penetrate the void, a sweeping intent of slaughter engulfed the entire hall.

”Venerable Lord!”

The seven phantoms were startled and shouted in alarm, their eyes filled with confusion looking towards the man.

In the past hundreds of years, they had never seen the Venerable Lord so enraged, what exactly had happened?

After a long time.

The man slowly began to speak:

”The Thunder Department perished, Lei Ming is dead!”

”What?”

Upon these words.

The hall erupted in commotion.

Just earlier, they were excitedly discussing Lei Ming sweeping through the Eastern Domain, yet unexpectedly, a turn of events occurred, and the Venerable Lord informed them that Lei Ming had perished?

”What audacity!”

”Utter audacity, daring to kill our Celestial God Sect’s Hall Master!”

”Venerable Lord, I request your command, allow me to head to the Eastern Domain!”

”Who is it exactly?”

”Whoever it is, having killed Lei Ming, the Soul Seal attached to him ensures even in life or death, it cannot be eradicated!”

Instantly, the hall was filled with curses and cries of outrage.

It must be understood.

In the Western Domain, the Celestial God Sect was the largest power.

They acted without concern, with utter impunity!

As for the Eastern Domain, they held it in little regard, otherwise, they wouldn’t have dispatched only a Hall Master of the Thunder Department there. Yet now, this insignificant Eastern Domain had caused them the loss of a Hall Master.

The Venerable Lord’s eyes narrowed, speaking in a deep voice:

”My Soul Seal was eradicated!”

Upon these words.

The hall fell into dead silence, everyone widened their eyes as if in disbelief.

The Soul Seal personally set by the Venerable Lord of the Celestial God Sect, almost impossible to believe!

The previously speaking water ripple phantom paused, then inquired:

”Venerable Lord, may I ask who the perpetrator was?”

The Soul Seal was an extension of the Venerable Lord, and since the opponent eradicated it, they would have been exposed.

Indeed!

At that moment, everyone reacted and quickly looked over, eager to know who exactly had slain Lei Ming.

Some even speculated, was it Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint, or perhaps some strongest Celestial Saint who had been silent for years?

However.

This inquiry rendered the Venerable Lord silent once more.

Seeing this, everyone’s heart skipped a beat, could there be more to this situation?

Only after a moment did the Venerable Lord gradually speak:

”The perpetrator was a young man!”

Silence.

The entire Celestial God Sect hall fell into silence.
