Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 769 - 768: Gathering of the Strong

Life and Death Lake, a vast expanse of a hundred miles, is the final barrier of the Valley of Life and Death. Once you cross this lake, life and death are severed, hence everyone within the Valley calls it the Valley of Life and Death.

Time flies.

In an instant, seven days passed.

Within the Valley of Life and Death, numerous Evil Cultivators had already gathered before the Life and Death Lake, crowding a place that was once vast and empty, making it completely packed. Everyone wanted to witness the first great battle within the Valley in hundreds of years.

This duel between the two will undoubtedly influence the power dynamics of the Valley of Life and Death in the future.

Will it be Ye Qingchen who replaces Han Buxiu to take charge of the Valley of Life and Death, or will Han Buxiu remain as stable as Mount Tai, unshakable? Or perhaps, it will be a situation where both perish!

At this moment.

The area before the vast Life and Death Lake was already a sea of people, yet the area near the lakeside was like a vacuum, with only a young man in white sitting with lowered hands, staring at the vast abyss-like Life and Death Lake.

It was Han Buxiu!

"Wait, isn’t that Fang Qihai? Wasn’t he said to have been killed by Han Buxiu? Who would have thought he would return after three years?"

"Isn’t that Bai Jie? She’s here too!"

"These older generation powerhouses within the Valley of Life and Death have all come!"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Boom!

At this moment.

A streak of polar light flashed across the sky. Above the Life and Death Lake, a man with sharp eyebrows and bright starry eyes appeared suddenly, majestic beyond compare. Upon his appearance, the originally noisy Life and Death Lake instantly fell silent, as if captivated by his aura.

"Pei Xunzhen! Who would have expected him to actually come out!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Pei Xunzhen paid no heed to the exclamations around him. However, when his gaze swept over Han Buxiu, a glint of icy killing intent emerged in his eyes, as if it could never be washed away!

The crowd hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of Pei Xunzhen’s appearance when another ghostly wail echoed from the horizon.

The crowd hurriedly looked over.

Only to see.

An old man with a clear and serene countenance swept over, but what was frightening was that below his abdomen was a serpentine body. He was entirely a half-human, half-snake Yin Spirit!

"Tang Jianming!"

Once again, the crowd erupted in commotion.

Another presence comparable to Lu Yishan has appeared!

"Who would have expected you to come too!" After landing, Tang Jianming casually glanced at Han Buxiu, then looked towards Pei Xunzhen.

"I’ve been stepped on for too long by others..." Pei Xunzhen said calmly, "I’m preparing to end it today!"

Stepped on for too long!

Pei Xunzhen made no attempt to hide his intentions.

Both Ye Qingchen and Han Buxiu were too powerful. The Valley of Life and Death is only so big, and though they had stayed hidden, they still lived under the other’s shadow.

If they don’t eliminate the other, one day disaster might descend upon them.

The crowd was dumbfounded after hearing the conversation between the two.

Rumble!

At this moment, a blood-red figure, like a chaotic dance of dragon and snake, charged directly towards the Life and Death Lake.

Only to see.

An enormous centipede, entirely crimson, with a single horn on its head, swept forward. The centipede’s myriad claws raked across the ground, leaving a deep mark on the earth.

Most strikingly, atop the head of this Red Blood Centipede stood an old man.

"Who is that?"

Someone asked, utterly baffled.

Many people’s expressions changed when they saw the aura with which the old man appeared, an aura indisputably comparable to, if not stronger than, Lu Yishan and Tang Jianming.

"Venerable Red Dragon!"

Some recognized him, their faces changing dramatically.

This Venerable Red Dragon was no ordinary existence. Back in the day, to suppress the powerhouses within the Valley of Life and Death, Taotian Palace sent countless Demon Kings into the valley, only for them all to end up as food for the red dragon beneath him.

Seeing Venerable Red Dragon appear, many people were already starting to show intense fear on their faces.

They realized that today, this Live and Death Lake might truly become a Dead Lake.

At this moment.

The crowd, already filled with fear, felt a chill run through them, only to see at a distance, an old man with a gaunt face, hands clasped behind his back, approaching leisurely. As he passed, the flowers and grass before the Life and Death Lake visibly withered and decayed rapidly.

"This massive aura of death, could it be that presence from within the Bronze Coffin?"

Many, sensing this aura, gasped in cold shock, staring at the old man with horror.

Following that.

Figures comparable to Lu Yishan were appearing one after another. They once hid away because of Lu Yishan’s defeat, but now they emerged again for this battle.

Merely observing their disposition—some occupying a corner, some deep in thought, or some deeply concealed yet interlinked—revealed their inevitable ulterior motives.

"Zheng Jiuling, why hasn’t Ye Qingchen come yet? Is he afraid?"

From dawn to noon to dusk, the crowd grew increasingly impatient as one of the main characters of the battle had yet to appear.

Finally, someone couldn’t resist shouting.

"Nonsense!" Zheng Jiuling huffed and puffed, "Mr. Ye has already reached the Human Immortal Fifth Layer, multiple times more powerful than before! How could he be afraid?"

"Then why hasn’t Ye Qingchen arrived?" The person’s face was full of mockery.

Faced with this remark, Zheng Jiuling was at a loss for words.

Although.

He had a thousand defenses, but it was a fact that Ye Qingchen hadn’t appeared.

The person saw this and was about to mock further when his face abruptly changed, suddenly looking ahead. At that moment, everyone seemed to have sensed something and all halted.

All looked forward in unison.

"What is this?"

Just to see.

In the distance, a silver-haired youth in green attire was approaching from afar, hands behind his back. With an ease of pace, he wore a smiling expression, yet exuded an overwhelming presence. To the crowd, he seemed like a prehistoric beast slowly approaching.

Behind him, a vast shadow of clouds rolled over from the horizon, its unparalleled momentum as if crushing down, dominating the world, reaching a pinnacle of unrivaled supremacy!

"Is that Ye Qingchen?"

The one who mocked earlier was now stunned into silence, unable to speak.

The arrival, without a doubt, was Ye Qingchen!

"Ye Qingchen, who would have thought you’d really dare come!"

At this moment, Han Buxiu, who had sat motionless for three years, suddenly stood up, facing Ye Qingchen directly. His eyes opened wide, seeming to cut through the heavens, causing the whole sky to light up dramatically.

His voice, like a thunderbolt igniting the earth, rumbled and rang aloud, vibrating everyone’s eardrums.

Boom!

At the same time.

The aura that had been suppressed for three years erupted all at once, like a raging tidal wave pouring forth!

"With just you, you’re not worthy of my fear!"

Facing this peer from Taotian Palace who had suppressed the Valley of Life and Death for three years, the once defeater of Lu Yishan, Ye Qingchen showed no fear, standing with pride, unmoved.

At the same time, pushing forward instead of retreating.

In an instant, the power of the Human Immortal Fifth Layer erupted, with no more reservation, engulfing the world, uprooting the heavens and earth!
