"Clang!!!"
The sound fell.
Lotus Birth Mother struck first.
"Chen Jiuyang, you ruined my ten thousand years, eight lifetimes of becoming an immortal, caused my efforts to fail, and now die for me!!!"
Lotus Birth Mother, appearing as a young girl, extended one hand, unleashing threads of azure magical power, imbued with the essence of divine abilities.
This aura further contained immortal light!!!
What did this signify?
It signified that Lotus Birth Mother had stepped into the Emperor Realm!
She had abandoned her eight lifetimes of seeking immortality, melted the myriad martial scriptures, and entered the Emperor Realm like an ordinary person, embarking on the Imperial Path!
Countless people were horrified!
Chen Jiuyang and Lotus Birth Mother were extreme prodigies in opposing directions: one with the five elemental primal furnaces, the other with the furnace of myriad martial ways!
Such a foundation!
With a single strike, it was as if six people were attacking Chen Jiuyang simultaneously.
"Clang!!!"
Chen Jiuyang, wielding the Life-Averting Saber, parried with a backhand strike, unleashing a peerlessly dominant saber aura.
An explosion resounded.
The assassination strike that directly hit Lotus Birth Mother caused the heavens and earth to explode, with spiritual energy and vital energy surging.
Everyone's gaze sharpened. Lotus Birth Mother and Chen Jiuyang's exchange was evenly matched, neither gaining an advantage.
It seemed difficult for Lotus Birth Mother to defeat Chen Jiuyang solely with this move.
After her initial attack proved ineffective, Lotus Birth Mother roared, "Everyone attack! If Chen Jiuyang is not killed today, there will be no other opportunity in this life!!!"
She was alarmed. She had already fused six bodies and melted myriad laws, a feat unprecedented, yet she still couldn't crush Chen Jiuyang in terms of combat power.
Just how terrifying was this brat's foundation?
Never mind how powerful this brat's foundation was; he was ultimately only at the first level of the Emperor Realm. With so many peerless great experts gathered to jointly assassinate Chen Jiuyang today, he was destined to die here!
As Lotus Birth Mother's voice fell, everyone unleashed their killing moves in unison.
In an instant, various forms of immortal light erupted.
Prodigies like Jia Fu Ben and Qi Dao Sheng, Xia Dao Sheng, had also advanced to the Emperor Realm.
Gazing at the sky-obscuring immortal light surging towards them, Yao Zixuan's small face turned pale, her delicate body trembling.
However, Chen Jiuyang remained calm. While flying backward, he held the Eight Firmaments Dragon-Subduing Bow and let out a long cry:
"Heavenly Will Four Symbols Arrow—Myriad Phenomena!!!"
An arrow burst forth, then transformed into ten thousand arrows, the majestic immortal light also obscuring the sky.
"Rumble!!!"
This single arrow withstood all their killing blows!
Many praised, "Lord Qianyang Demon is indeed the one who overshadows his peers in this era. One move suppresses a hundred."
"Even with so many people mobilized to assassinate him, whether he can be killed here remains a question."
"Even if he dies, he will likely pay a heavy price."
After the Myriad Phenomena arrow erupted, Chen Jiuyang did not rest. He extended his arm, grabbed the Sky Dragon City-Breaking Spear, and a silver spear light instantly burst forth.
"Roar!!!"
A dragon's roar instantly erupted, and a massive silver celestial dragon materialized.
With a gentle flick of his finger, Chen Jiuyang placed Yao Zixuan onto the phantom image of the silver celestial dragon, then unleashed immortal light and hurled her with all his might towards the direction of the Ancient Village: "Divine Ability—Wind and Cloud!!!"
This was one of the divine abilities of the Sky Dragon City-Breaking Spear, and a technique the Yan Emperor often used for travel, possessing extreme speed.
The moment Chen Jiuyang unleashed this divine ability, he grabbed the tail of the dragon's shadow and flew towards the sky at an incredibly fast speed.
"Not good! Chen Jiuyang is not interested in a protracted fight; he intends to escape!!!"
However, Lotus Birth Mother sneered, "Escape? I severed my eight lifetimes of seeking immortality just to wait for this moment to fight him. How could I not have made thorough preparations?"
Lotus Birth Mother formed various hand seals: "Have none of you invited your sect elders as a backup?"
Xia Dao Sheng: "Qianyang's strength has already surpassed ordinary peerless great experts, infinitely approaching the Martial Saint level."
"With our strength, it is indeed not easy to kill him."
Jia Fu Ben sighed softly and said, "Very well, Brother Qianyang, you should stay. Let the elders send you on your way!"
Chen Jiuyang no longer had the support of the Chongming Sea; he was merely a wild peerless great expert.
And the foundation of supreme forces was terrifying.
The next moment.
Space tore open, and a peerless figure emerged, at least a Martial Saint-level supreme great expert, who flicked a finger towards Chen Jiuyang.
A flick of the finger that obscured the sky, and a terrifyingly vast power pressed down upon Chen Jiuyang.
The Sky Dragon City-Breaking Spear, facing this power, let out a mournful whimper, as if about to be crushed.
"Martial Saint!!!"
A deep killing intent flashed in Chen Jiuyang's eyes.
Lotus Birth Mother and Jia Fu Ben, at most, could only consume some of his time; they could not become the tribulation that would cause his decline from peak power.
To become his tribulation, one needed at least Martial Saint strength.
This was the one thing Chen Jiuyang had been worried about for the past six months.
Standing on the Sky Dragon City-Breaking Spear, Chen Jiuyang instantly drew his great bow to its fullest extent and let out a roar:
"Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Will!!!"
Time and fortune borrowed from heaven and earth, Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Will.
This arrow, which caused heaven and earth to rumble, was also the strongest technique in Chen Jiuyang's archery path.
It erupted instantly, causing heaven and earth to lose their color, as it collided with the sky-obscuring casual move of the Martial Saint.
"Rumble!!!"
After a brief stalemate, both moves exploded.
This instantly shocked countless people.
Could Chen Jiuyang's Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Will contend with a Martial Saint?
"Oh?" The peerless Martial Saint behind Jia Fu Ben showed a hint of emotion: "The power of the first level of the Emperor Realm, though aided by divine abilities, can break my casual move. Quite interesting."
"However, that is all."
Chen Jiuyang's heart turned cold. He instantly switched to Ye Tiannan's Nine Radiance Sword and roared:
"Divine Ability—"
"Ten Thousand Miles Rainbow!!!"
This was Ye Tiannan's innate divine ability, pouring all his peak power into this Nine Radiance Sword. Truly heartfelt.
Chen Jiuyang activated the divine ability within the Nine Radiance Sword, instantly teleporting Yao Zixuan's figure, and grabbing the materialized sword hilt, he shot towards the Ancient Village at a speed that could vibrate space.
"Hmm?"
The peerless Martial Saint behind Jia Fu Ben's expression stiffened: "This speed… if I don't exert a little more effort, you might actually escape into the Ancient Village!"
Few could have imagined that the innate sword body's innate divine ability, rarely seen in ten thousand years, would be used for escape. Its speed was truly extreme.
The peerless Martial Saint's figure surged forward, directly tearing space with his hand, intending to block the path of the Ten Thousand Miles Rainbow and interrupt this divine ability, completely cutting off Chen Jiuyang's escape route.
A power that could make heaven and earth tremble suddenly descended, and space was torn open.
"Pfft—"
The power of the Martial Saint level instantly descended, pressing down on Chen Jiuyang, who was not protected by the Human King Sword, causing him to immediately vomit blood and be severely injured.
