CHAPTER 1525: CHAPTER 1525: THE TURNAROUND BEGINS! (THIRD UPDATE)

The last two Descenders were taken out by Ye Qiu and the Beast God respectively.

Ye Qiu’s strength, having broken through half of the shackles, already possessed the power of the Void-breaking Realm. Coupled with various trump cards, in a battle of the same realm, it was basically a sweeping situation.

The Descender who fought against him couldn’t hold out for long and would soon be defeated.

As for the Beast God who had just broken through, theoretically, having just entered the Void-breaking Realm, it should be difficult to kill an opponent of the same realm. However, the Beast God was not human but an ancient beast. Its bloodline awakened, and in the same realm, ancient beasts were inherently stronger than humans. Facing a Descender, the realm gap was compensated for, and the Beast God’s advantages began to appear. Its attack and defensive power had both moved up a tier, and after a few rounds, it severely injured the opponent.

With this, the overall situation was set.

Previously, there were seven Descenders, but now all of them were killed by the two. Ye Qiu and the Beast God exchanged a glance, then immediately moved to the battlefield where Gai Yin was fighting with the strongman from the Demon God Sect.

"Young Master."

Gai Yin disengaged from the strongman of the Demon God Sect and saluted Ye Qiu.

Gai Yin’s strength entering the Void-breaking Realm truly startled Ye Qiu, so much so that initially, he didn’t recognize who was fighting with the strongman of the Demon God Sect.

"You did well..." Ye Qiu genuinely didn’t know what to say about this subordinate whose strength seemingly improved even faster than his own, yet he maintained a respectful attitude towards him.

"Young Master, you’ve finally returned. The ladies were very worried about you," Gai Yin said, looking a bit excited at Ye Qiu’s return.

"I know."

Ye Qiu nodded, feeling Gai Yin’s aura. He very much wanted to ask Gai Yin how he managed to break through, but it wasn’t the right time. A Descender with an extremely strong aura was still present, one Ye Qiu sensed as soon as he arrived here.

This one was truly the strongest.

Earlier, he sent a voice transmission to Gai Yin, asking whether he should help him first or the Beast God. Gai Yin unhesitatingly said he could hold off this person for a while.

Now that all the other Descenders were taken care of, only this one remained.

"Beast God, Gai Yin, go help the Wu Yang Venerable. I’ll handle this person," Ye Qiu instructed them without looking back.

The Beast God had long wanted to help the Wu Yang Venerable but was entangled by the Descenders, with its life hanging by a thread. But now it was different; it had fully stood in the Void-breaking Realm.

"Very well, Young Master," Gai Yin obediently responded. The two figures flashed, rushing straight to the Nine Heavens Killing Formation.

Only Ye Qiu and the strongman of the Demon God Sect were left in the air.

The two stood opposed in the sky.

"Ye Qiu, I didn’t expect such a monster among the natives," said the man from the Demon God Sect.

"Did you come to Moon Watching Peak for the legacy of Ge Tian?" Ye Qiu’s question here was somewhat redundant.

"Yes... but also no." The man from the Demon God Sect nodded, then shook his head.

Ye Qiu felt that this person’s strength was extraordinary. Even in the Void-breaking Realm, he wasn’t an unknown figure, so he couldn’t help but ask, "What do you mean?"

"I did indeed come for the legacy of Ge Tian."

"Then what do you mean by not?"

The man from the Demon God Sect laughed and said, "The reason I say not is because I also want to see who can surpass the Saint Heir of my Demon God Sect."

"Demon God Sect?" Ye Qiu muttered, suddenly recalling someone. He asked, "What is your Demon God Sect’s relationship with the Demon Lord Holy Son?"

The man from the Demon God Sect let out a cold laugh, "He is the Saint Heir of our sect."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu understood. Thinking of his enmity with the Demon Lord Holy Son, he knew why this person would appear here and clash with Gai Yin. It was likely at the behest of the Demon Lord Holy Son. This guy always harbored a desire to kill him, especially after Ye Qiu surpassed him at Mount Tai and took the Taihuang Bell. The Demon Lord Holy Son wouldn’t just let it go.

"It seems you’re not surprised. Among the younger generation, to be so calm facing someone like me, I must admit, you, as a native, are indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, in my eyes, you’re still just a native. Even if by luck you gained the acknowledgment of the Taihuang Bell, I must tell you, you’d better give it up, leave yourself a way out, otherwise, your future will be full of endless slaughter," the man from the Demon God Sect said with a smile.

"Heh, what of slaughter, when have I, Ye Qiu, ever been afraid?" Ye Qiu replied calmly.

"The people from the Ancestral Land will never allow the Taihuang Bell to fall into the hands of a native like you. Now I’m offering you the best choice: as long as you give up the Taihuang Bell and dissolve your bond with it, I’ll spare your life," the man from the Demon God Sect proposed.

"Heh heh... Unfortunately, I don’t need you to spare me. As for you, you’ve come to Moon Watching Peak and moved against my subordinates, I don’t intend to let you go. If the Demon Lord Holy Son knew his Protector died at my hands, I wonder what he’d think," Ye Qiu said.

"So, you’re refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?" The man from the Demon God Sect saw Ye Qiu was unmoved and burst with killing intent.

"Why spout so much nonsense, just get to it." Ye Qiu said coldly.

"Fine, then let me send you on your way."

"Heh heh, perhaps it’s me sending you on your way instead."

Suddenly, the two clashed wildly.

Ye Qiu formed several seals, turning them into rune-like shapes, and directly pushed them out. With that push, the air around them began to collapse.

The man from the Demon God Sect’s approach was exceedingly simple; with a reach of his large hand, he seized the seals that had become a whirlwind of imprints, and immediately crushed them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Before the seals could exert their power, they were annihilated.

"That shall be your end, like them, crushed by me," the man from the Demon God Sect snorted. But it was just one mere attack being shattered; Ye Qiu wasn’t intimidated. As for the man’s tone, he directly ignored it, though this didn’t mean he underestimated the opponent’s attack.

Ye Qiu’s expression flashed, suddenly revealing a smile. His hands crossed in front of his chest, and immediately a halo appeared, revealing a scene of hell within.

The Six Paths Gate reappeared.

...

Wu Yang Venerable spat blood several times; against the man in white, he no longer had the strength to retaliate.

Whoosh whoosh...

"To think my strength reached this level and I’d still be beaten like this." Wu Yang Venerable lamented bitterly.

In the Ancestral Land, this level of strength would undoubtedly intimidate all other ancient clans, but in front of this man in white, his strength was utterly insufficient.

Though the opponent was in the same realm as him, Wu Yang Venerable had little ability to resist when they clashed.

The Nine Heavens Killing Formation had already been broken through to the eighth level. The ninth level of the formation seemed on the verge of being shattered by the man in white.

"Without this great formation, how will you withstand me now?" the man in white smiled lightly.

As he spoke, he aimed one hand at the sky. A massive energy surged out instantly, followed by the sound of the earth trembling.

The misty scene around them vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye; the Nine Heavens Killing Formation was obliterated.

Wu Yang Venerable’s heart sank to the nadir; the worst had come to pass.

"Look, the mist is gone, and the true appearance of Moon Watching Peak has been revealed."

"Heh heh, it seems that the formation around this area has been broken by that superior, perhaps we can visit that native’s place."

Seeing Moon Watching Peak without its protective barrier, many extraterrestrial strongmen began to have ideas.

"You shall vanish with this formation," the man in white thought it was a waste of time on Wu Yang Venerable. Without killing him, he felt it wouldn’t justify the time spent.

Wu Yang Venerable used all his strength but couldn’t stop the man in white, now utterly exhausted.

"Alas, my wish remains unfulfilled..." Wu Yang Venerable closed his eyes, unwilling.

Just as the man in white raised his hand to strike Wu Yang Venerable, suddenly, two auras shot over.

A voice resounded in the sky: "To kill him, you’ll have to get through us first."
