Nine Revolutions Star Technique-Chapter 535 - 539: Apocalypse Calamity?

Despite that day, Sword Demon, Zhan Tai Xuan, Ten Thousand Corpses Ancestor, Yan Wushuang, along with over a hundred Celestial Venerables who forcefully broke into Taotian Palace, were all fallen. Yet, there were still some Celestial Venerables who hadn’t acted, witnessing the entire process from the shadows.

The news of this battle spread across the Barbaric Continent like lightning in an instant.

"Celestial Venerable Forbidden Land! How dare he?"

Countless Celestial Venerables were filled with resentment.

Celestial Venerable!

This is an existence that exceeds mortals, positioned at the pinnacle; each one is a powerful figure recorded in history, akin to mythical beings, the Divine Dragon in the sky, elusive.

This vast world was their domain, with no place beyond their reach!

However.

Now there exists a region where Celestial Venerables cannot, dare not, step into.

How could they not be shocked, not feel indignation?

"The Sword Demon reached the Celestial Venerable Realm five hundred years ago. After sitting idly in the Sword Tomb for hundreds of years, even if Spiritual Qi is insufficient, he had at least reached the Celestial Venerable Third Layer, yet Ye Qingchen killed him with one strike? How is that possible?"

"Moreover, it wasn’t just the Sword Demon; even Zhan Tai Xuan, Ten Thousand Corpses Ancestor, and Yan Wushuang couldn’t withstand even one move from Ye Qingchen."

An old Celestial Venerable sighed.

After the news spread, the world was astounded, and Taotian Palace became a true Celestial Venerable Forbidden Land. Because never before had a place seen so many strong figures of the Celestial Venerable Realm fall.

Counting Yang Xuan Gan before, a total of 127 Celestial Venerables had fallen within the Immortal Burial Mountain Secret Realm!

This is the veritable Celestial Venerable Forbidden Land!

"How could this young man be so formidable?"

"It’s said he came from a small family, ordinary until he reached sixteen, then ascended toward the heavens... Could it be that he is an old monster reborn in his body? Or does he possess an unparalleled treasure? Or perhaps he’s the reincarnation of a supreme being!"

Some Celestial Venerable speculated.

"In my view, he very likely carries an unparalleled treasure! Because when Sword Demon, Zhan Tai Xuan, and the others stormed into Taotian Palace, they once saw the sky full of stars. At the time, we thought it was the manifestation of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures... Looking back now, it’s likely the phenomenon generated when Ye Qingchen reached the Celestial Venerable Realm!"

A Celestial Venerable participating in the siege of Taotian Palace analyzed.

This Celestial Venerable stayed hidden in the shadows, did not engage, thus escaping the calamity. He witnessed the entire process firsthand!

With the spread of this news.

It shocked numerous Celestial Venerables once more.

"Indeed, this young man’s possession must be a Unique Treasure; otherwise, with his newly attained Celestial Venerable cultivation, it would be impossible for him to defeat Sword Demon, Zhan Tai Xuan, and others. Sword Demon, Zhan Tai Xuan, and Ten Thousand Corpses Ancestor were in the Celestial Venerable Realm for hundreds of years. Whether in terms of True Qi quantity or quality, the absolute arts they possess are incomparable to a newly ascended Celestial Venerable!"

An old Celestial Venerable confirmed.

Soon.

There was speculation that the old Celestial Venerable was the Golden Toad Evil Monarch, older than the Sword Demon.

The Golden Toad Evil Monarch’s words immediately led many Celestial Venerables to speculate on the supreme treasure Ye Qingchen might possess.

"What this young man possesses might not necessarily be a Unique Treasure, but surely an unparalleled Cultivation Technique. When we broke through to the Celestial Venerable Realm, the aura reached at most five hundred meters. But I heard when Ye Qingchen reached the Celestial Venerable Realm, clouds swirled thousands of meters, light beams burst out of the Taotian Palace Secret Realm. Whether it’s the Sword Demon and others or those disciples of Ten Thousand Gods Sect, under him, they were like all beings, without any ability to fight back from start to finish..."

"Indeed, the gap in strength is too vast. I dare say the Cultivation Technique Ye Qingchen practiced might be Kunlun Realm’s martial arts! Otherwise, it’s impossible for strong figures of the Celestial Venerable Realm to seem like mere chicken and dogs before him!"

"I heard Ye Qingchen had broken meridians earlier... If I could obtain this Cultivation Technique, wouldn’t I be even stronger than Ye Qingchen?"

"Did such an event really occur? Ye Qingchen’s meridians were once broken?"

"Is it true?"

The affairs surrounding Ye Qingchen are not considered a secret.

For these Celestial Venerables, they can find out with just a little inquiry. When many Celestial Venerables heard Ye Qingchen once had broken meridians, they were astonished beyond measure.

"Hmph, with catastrophe looming, are you still concerned about what Cultivation Technique Ye Qingchen practices?"

At this time, news came from an ancient Celestial Venerable.

Some recognized that the speaking Celestial Venerable was from the same generation as the Golden Toad Evil Monarch, known as Venerable Duoe, an Abbot of the Great Leiyin Mountain from seven hundred years ago, rumored to have attained Nirvana, but unexpectedly still in the world.

"Venerable, may I ask what is the imminent catastrophe you speak of?" someone sought answers at Great Leiyin Mountain.

For a moment.

Countless Celestial Venerables turned their attention to Great Leiyin Mountain.

These ancient beings know secrets beyond ordinary imagination, especially the impending catastrophe which made many hearts uneasy.

However, following Venerable Duoe’s remark, there was no further response.

Just as everyone was profoundly disappointed, a Daoist clad in a sword and carrying a gourd sighed:

"You, Monk Duoe, even after hundreds of years, still like to leave people hanging. Monk Duoe spoke of the World-Ending Catastrophe from eight hundred years ago!"

World-Ending Catastrophe?

In an instant, countless people were dumbfounded.

Did the Barbaric Continent once have such history? How could they not know? Some continued to seek answers, only to hear Wine Sword Immortal speak:

"At that time, even I, Duoe, and Golden Toad were still young. How could you know? It’s said there was a peerless prodigy in the Barbaric Continent who had conflicts with a sect from Kunlun Realm, leading to a great battle."

"That peerless prodigy, just like Ye Qingchen today, managed to single-handedly destroy the few disciples who descended to the lower realm. However, there was one among them who was the son of an Elder, ultimately causing nearly ten thousand Celestial Venerables to descend, and even a being more fearsome than Celestial Venerable, the Barbaric Continent faced the World-Ending Catastrophe!"

"That battle severed the Spirit Veins of the Barbaric Continent, causing the Spiritual Qi to gradually decline, leaving many unable to cultivate. Many mortals mistakenly believed Celestial Saints were the pinnacle of cultivators, unaware that above Celestial Saint lies the Celestial Venerable!"

"Wine Sword Daoist, you speak too much!" Venerable Duoe scolded.

"Hmph, do you think it’s still possible to hide?" Wine Sword Immortal smirked coldly, "Long at most half-a-year, short at three months, Ten Thousand Gods Sect will descend, and we will face the second World-Ending Catastrophe!"

"At that time, from Celestial Venerables above all, down to ants below, who can escape this World-Ending Catastrophe?"

With these words.

The Barbaric Continent fell into a deathly silence.
