Nine Revolutions Star Technique

As for Ye Qingchen, these Seven Peaks Disciples practically hated him to the bone, yet they could do nothing about him.

This point.

Was felt most keenly by the disciples of Void Peak. If nothing unexpected had happened, then in this reserve Elder assessment, Ye Xuan, Zhou Longxing, and Ning Yukong should also have been among them, but they had all fallen at Ye Qingchen’s hands.

The sheer strength of Ye Qingchen had already driven these peers of his into despair.

Yet they had never imagined.

That Ye Qingchen would actually be thrown into the Black Nether Profound Sea!

”Hahaha, that Black Nether Profound Sea is truly a lair of dragons and tigers. Back then, those few reserve Elders—each and every one of them was under twenty, heaven’s chosen at the Earth Immortal realm!”

Ye Xuan’s face was full of a cold sneer. Clearly, he had always nursed a grudge over how, in Yingxian Tower, Ye Qingchen had knocked him out with a single palm.

To him, that was simply the greatest shame of his life.

”This does save us the trouble of making a move ourselves! The only regret is that we can’t personally watch Ye Qingchen fall!” Another Void Peak disciple wore a mask of cold laughter.

”Exactly. I had been looking forward to Ye Qingchen getting a ruthless beating from Senior Brother Jian Chen at the finish line… what a pity!” The Celestial Moon Peak disciple spoke with apparent regret, yet his eyes were filled with schadenfreude!

Listening to the discussions all around.

Su Moran’s expression grew uglier and uglier.

Half the assessment time had already passed, and Ye Qingchen still had not appeared. No matter what method she used, she could not restore that light screen. Besides him, Lu Yanwu, the Sea of Zhou, Lin Shifei and the others had worry thickening on their faces as well.

”Elder Su, has Mr. Ye perhaps already met with misfortune?” Lu Yanwu couldn’t help but say.

”Nothing is over until it ends; there might yet be a sliver of hope!” Su Moran said in a low voice. ”Back then, among the reserve Elders who entered the Black Nether Profound Sea, there was one who came out alive…”

”Really?”

At her words, Lu Yanwu was instantly overjoyed.

The eyes of the others also lit up with hope.

”Hmph, still not giving up?”

Ye Xu Kong sneered coldly off to the side.

That kind of situation was exceedingly rare. Throughout the history of Taotian Palace, there had only ever been that one case. It was far too much of a fluke, and he did not believe Ye Qingchen would be just as lucky.

From the simple fact that Ye Qingchen had yet to show up, they could already tell that Ye Qingchen had clearly run into the great horror of the Black Nether Profound Sea!

It might well be that his bones had long since been ground to dust!

However.

He did not mind Su Moran continuing to stay here.

Once the three-day assessment ended.

The Cyan Nether Hall would close, and by then, no matter how unwilling Su Moran and the others were to accept the news of Ye Qingchen’s death, they would have no choice but to acknowledge the fact.

Thinking of this, the several Supreme Elders exchanged glances, their eyes full of unconcealed triumph.

...

Aside from them.

The vast majority of those present also believed that Ye Qingchen had long since fallen in the Black Nether Profound Sea. They no longer spared him any attention, instead turning their eyes to the others.

Those who had made it through the early stages and held out until now were all outstanding figures in terms of strength and cultivation.

Of course.

The assessment was not yet over; they were still fighting.

”Rumble!”

In a desert.

Jian Chen encountered a massive sandstorm. That sandstorm covered the sky and blotted out the sun, nearly identical to the army of Black Water Giants that Ye Qingchen had once faced in the Black Nether Profound Sea.

The rolling sand and dust darkened the heavens, as if the end of the world had come.

More than that.

Before the stunned eyes of the crowd, this sandstorm gradually transformed into an ancient ferocious beast, like a lion yet like a tiger. Its body towered up to the sky as it stood upon the earth, and with every stride it took, the vast desert seemed to tremble madly.

The violent shuddering was so intense that it even passed through the light screen, making everyone feel as if they were on the scene themselves!

Zheng!

A sword cry rang out.

They saw Jian Chen already striding forward with sword in hand, turning into a swift streak of sword light as he charged straight at that ferocious beast!

...

In a world of endless, continuous volcanoes.

A disciple stood there, dumbstruck, staring at the wildly erupting giant volcanoes before him. Infinite magma churned in terror; under his horrified gaze, it shot crazily into the sky and finally converged in midair, forming a giant!

This giant was over three thousand zhang tall, his body composed entirely of roiling lava, his whole form wreathed in surging fury and black poisonous smoke. Atop his head grew two enormous horns like those of a ram!

The horns jutted up toward the sky like two sharp swords!

Utterly terrifying to the extreme!

...

In that boundless sea of forest.

This Void Peak disciple likewise encountered a problem.

They saw that.

At the end of this forest sea stood a colossal willow tree, three thousand six hundred zhang tall. Every willow branch on the tree was even longer than the trunk itself. Each leaf was crystal clear, shining with a mysterious luster, as if forged from the purest jade!

...

Within a vast sea of clouds.

Within a grassland.

Every reserve Elder had encountered a powerful opponent.

For a time.

Dozens of battles broke out almost simultaneously.

Everyone watching felt their eyes spinning.

The entire world descended into chaos.

”They’re too strong!”

At this moment.

Each of these reserve Elders who had entered the Cyan Nether Hall displayed their own formidable methods. The onlookers felt as though these beings were not human at all, but gods capable of overturning seas and rivers! Immortals who tread the heavens and behead gods! Peerless experts who could upend heaven and earth!

Every world they were in was thrown into storms of blood and carnage, as if the heavens and earth were about to shatter.

”I originally thought Ye Qingchen was monstrous enough, but I never imagined the strength of these reserve Elders would be no weaker than his. It’s terrifying to the limit!”

A disciple said, face full of shock.

All the spectators nodded repeatedly.

”Hmph, how could Senior Brother Jian Chen possibly be compared to Ye Qingchen?” a disciple sneered. ”Jian Chen entered the Earth Immortal realm as early as three years ago. If he hadn’t missed the previous enfeoffment, he would have already become an Elder long ago!”

”Our Piaomiao Peak’s Senior Brother Chai Yuguan is no worse. His blade skills are simply unstoppable, nothing can withstand them. That lava giant can’t even get close!”

Another Piaomiao Peak disciple likewise nodded.

”Exactly. These people are the very top disciples of our Seven Peaks, normally not even in residence on the peaks. Otherwise, how would Ye Qingchen ever have gotten the chance to be the monkey playing king when there was no tiger in the mountain?”

Jian Chen sneered, his face full of cold laughter. ”It’s a pity Ye Qingchen has already died in the Black Nether Profound Sea. At the very least, he won’t be able to see this scene!”

And it wasn’t just him.

Almost everyone present thought the same!

However.

They did not know that at this very moment, Ye Qingchen was still within the Black Nether Profound Sea, undergoing the test of the Three-Eyed Profound Ape!

And Ye Qingchen was facing the eleventh assault!
