Chapter 342 The Battle that Shocked the Heavens
The Wing Transformation Divine Art was the most powerful divine art that Bing Shiyi had mastered during his mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint realm.
As the strongest among the nine late-stage Heavenly Saint Icebound guardians, Bing Shiyi had already become the most formidable among the nine guardians during his mid-stage. His Wing Transformation Divine Art was unstoppable by any other guardian.
Hearing that Bing Shiyi was going to use his Wing Transformation Divine Art to fight Ye Chen, the other eight Icebound guardians knew that Bing Shiyi had recognized Ye Chen's prowess and had decided to use his strongest skill from the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint realm to face Ye Chen right from the start.
The gazes of the eight guardians shifted from Bing Shiyi to Ye Chen.
They were filled with both tension and anticipation for the upcoming battle.
What was nerve-wracking for them was whether Ye Chen, who had already defeated the eight of them, could defeat the strongest and most formidable Bing Shiyi.
What they anticipated was that if Ye Chen managed to defeat Bing Shiyi, they would soon welcome a new master and follow this new master out of the Sealed Land to make their way in the world.
As Bing Shiyi stepped forward, the other eight Icebound guardians were both nervous and expectant.
Directly facing Bing Shiyi, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement within.
This was the last one.
If he could defeat Bing Shiyi, he would leave the Icebound Temple's auxiliary hall, where he had trained for three years, with a great harvest.
With this in mind, Ye Chen understandably couldn't suppress his excitement.
But this excitement did not affect his battle-readiness. Instead, it gave Ye Chen an even firmer conviction, which was to achieve victory, to continue winning, and to secure the ninth battle's triumph!
"Senior Bing Shiyi, if you use the 'Wing Transformation' Divine Art, I will also use my own divine art!"
Boom!
Although he didn't know what Bing Shiyi's Wing Transformation Divine Art was, Ye Chen was ready to go all out without holding back in this final battle.
Ye Chen waved his sleeve and once again soared into the sky. At the same time, the power cultivated from the Icebound Divine Body's basic 810 stances surged wildly within his body.
It wasn't just the physical strength that was surging; Ye Chen fully released his divine sense, covering everything within an eighty-mile radius under his sense.
Most importantly, it was time for the Qi techniques. At this moment, the 352 Five Apertures Rotating Pills within Ye Chen's Qi sea lit up with water, fire, and earth colored Divine Pill Law Patterns. Clearly, Ye Chen was prepared to unleash the five divine arts he had not used in the previous eight battles.
"Divine arts? It seems that besides your swordplay divine art, you indeed have other new divine techniques."
Seeing the Qi surging around Ye Chen and even a strange new power radiating from him that he had never felt before, Bing Shiyi's eyes gleamed brightly.
It had been a long time since it had fought, and although it had only lowered its strength to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint realm, it was looking forward to a true test of power at this level.
The stronger Ye Chen's abilities, the more Bing Shiyi looked forward to it!
"Let's see whose divine art is more powerful!"
As Bing Shiyi spoke, its massive wings unfurled completely.
Its true form was that of a divine beast, the Snow-Winged Great Peng. When it flew into the sky and its thousand-yard wings fully spread out, each feather shone with a crystal-clear, snow-like radiance, incomparably beautiful.
Beyond beauty, once Bing Shiyi's aura fully surged, these vast wings became an incredibly powerful weapon of its true form.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
After a slight tremble, one could see white light shining from each of Bing Shiyi's feathers. The light moved swiftly across its wings, and all its feathers seemed to merge together, forming a unified front that resembled an exceptionally sharp, snow-white sword.
"Ye Chen, take the first form of my Wing Transformation, 'Wings of the Void Slash'!"
Whoosh!
The moment Bing Shiyi's words ended, its wings flashed violently, and its whole body pierced through the void, turning into a sky-shaking sword shadow that sliced through space to strike down in front of Ye Chen.
This slash was earth-shattering!
Ye Chen felt it sealed off the void, affecting his Void Instantaneous Movement Divine Ability and perceived that the power of this slash was even greater than the Great Five Elements Sword Light of the Beiming Secret Tome's third layer that he had cultivated!
Indeed, this was the foremost among the nine guardians.
Even with its realm suppressed to mid-stage Heavenly Saint, its techniques far exceeded those of the other eight Icebound guardians!
Witnessing the earth-shattering sword light slashing towards him, Ye Chen didn't dodge. He knew facing an opponent of this caliber, one dodge could put him at a disadvantage, leading to a series of even more formidable attacks that would keep him off-balance and in a perpetual state of inferiority.
Since evading was not an option, he might as well go all out in a fight!
As the "Wings of the Void Slash" was about to strike, a peculiar faint blue light suddenly flickered in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Water system divine skill, Heavenly Origin Divine Water!"
Without the slightest abnormality, hundreds of faint blue water beads suddenly manifested around Ye Chen.
Each of these faint blue beads was infused with Ye Chen's endless Taiyuan Divine Pill's power, eventually displaying the formidable might of the Heavenly Origin Divine Water, with each bead possessing the strength of tens of thousands of catties, enveloping Ye Chen and directly charging towards Bing Shiyi's heaven-shocking sword light.
Ye Chen, surrounded by faint blue beads, was choosing to clash head-on with Bing Shiyi's Wings of the Void Slash!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen collided with Bing Shiyi.
One could see that at the moment of their encounter, Bing Shiyi's wing-transformed slash directly struck the faint blue water beads around Ye Chen.
At this slash, one could hear the explosive sound of an explosion, and see sword lights dancing vigorously, continuously cutting into the faint blue water beads, attempting to pierce them and strike Ye Chen himself.
Meanwhile, those hundreds of faint blue water beads, while resisting the sword light from the astonishing wings, flew away from Ye Chen's body, aiming to directly collide and bombard Bing Shiyi's true form.
Seeing this situation, the deputy temple spirit and the other eight Icebound Guardians watching the battle were completely on edge.
Clearly, if Bing Shiyi managed to cut through Ye Chen's faint blue water beads, it would likely mean Ye Chen's defeat, but if Ye Chen's faint blue water beads could counterattack Bing Shiyi, it could likely injure him!
This head-to-head battle did not last long, merely a few breaths, when the deputy temple spirit and the eight guardians realized that Ye Chen and Bing Shiyi were simultaneously forced to retreat backward.
Their first exchange was evenly matched; apparently, neither could suppress the other, and this retreat was obviously to prepare for unleashing new attacks.
Sure enough, in the moment of retreating backward, Bing Shiyi charged towards Ye Chen once more.
As he charged, Bing Shiyi's gigantic wings underwent a strange change, no longer a single entity resembling a pristine white sword, but rather each feather separated, with bizarre patterns appearing on each one.
After these mysterious patterns appeared, the feathers seemed to boost speed, directly increasing Bing Shiyi's velocity several times over!
"Since you can withstand my 'Wings of the Void Slash,' Ye Chen, then try this move, the Wings of Phantom Kill!"
Bing Shiyi, with greatly increased speed, split into two in the midst of rapid movement, then four, and finally into a sky full of killing shadows. Continue reading on empire
The layered killing shadows meant layered combat power, a terrifying force rapidly increasing, eventually surging madly towards the central Ye Chen for the kill.
Bing Shiyi's form had already grown to a thousand zhang in size.
Under this surge of killing shadows, his shadows entirely covered a radius of ten thousand zhang!
After Ye Chen unleashed rolling Five Elements True Qi, he only covered a few hundred zhang in radius. Facing this sky full of killing shadows, Ye Chen was like a small boat in the ocean waves, bracing for the towering waves of attacks from all around.
One careless move, and it was possible for the small boat to be completely engulfed by the giant waves!
"Wings of Phantom Kill?!"
Gazing into the layered, infinite murderous intent, feeling the overwhelming and frightening killing spirit rushing towards him, Ye Chen knew that relying solely on the water system divine skill would no longer withstand the layered force of the attack.
He had to employ a new tactic!
"Earth Returning to Origin Art, Heavenly Origin Divine Water, combined strike!"
Boom!
As Ye Chen was about to be completely submerged by the sky of murderous intent, he fiercely grabbed towards the ground below, and one could see the ice and snow terrain within a ten-thousand-zhang radius being completely overturned by his grasp.
Rolling ice, snow, and soil surged towards Ye Chen's palm, quickly forming over a dozen thousand-zhang-long, astonishing earth storms.
These earth storms, completely under Ye Chen's control, burst forth from below, madly sweeping towards the endless murderous intent from all sides of Bing Shiyi.
While covering, one could also see faint blue beads with the strength of tens of thousands of catties each, embedded within the earth storms.
The entire storm combined the strange divine light of both water and earth colors!
