After a slight hesitation, Eagle Phoenix appeared beside the Great Celestial Venerable, its gaze wary and cold as it looked at Ye Chen. It said in a deep voice, "This kid is strange. Let's join forces and kill him quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Celestial Venerable merely frowned slightly before silently nodding.
A Dou Sheng expert naturally has the dignity of a Dou Sheng expert. Under the same level, no one wants to do the thing of bullying the weak with the many, let alone the other party is just a newly risen junior!
However, after the previous battle, the Great Celestial Venerable also understood that with his strength alone, he was indeed unable to defeat Ye Chen, and even felt that he was somewhat outmatched, which made him feel somewhat ashamed and annoyed.
However, he was still able to prioritize. Although face was important, taking down the guy in front of him was obviously more important!
"Wow!"
A deafening phoenix cry resounded through the void. Then Ye Chen saw the eagle-phoenix's body rapidly expand and grow, eventually transforming into a half-human, half-beast form. Waves of extremely violent energy surged out of its body like a storm, stirring up the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand feet!
At this moment, the Eagle Phoenix's aura was no weaker than that of an ordinary two-star Dou Sheng. Coupled with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's bloodline talent, its strength was enough to rival that of a Great Heavenly Venerable...
"Hahaha, so this is your trump card, you scruffy bird? It's quite impressive..."
But what good are two saints?
Ye Chen laughed loudly, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky. With each laugh, his body took a step forward, growing taller with each step. After seven steps, a giant surrounded by silver lightning stood in the void, exuding unparalleled domineering power!
"Today, let me see what two Battle Saints can do to me when they join forces!"
Chapter 455 Suppressing the Two Saints
Seeing Ye Chen's arrogant demeanor, the Soul Palace Grand Celestial Venerable and Eagle Phoenix were furious.
This bastard is so arrogant, he really doesn't take them seriously at all...
"Big Rift Demon Claw!"
The enraged eagle-phoenix moved, its massive wings, dozens of feet long, unfurling behind it, and in a flash, it appeared above Ye Chen.
The enormous black claw slammed down, and a sharp gust of wind sealed off the space around Ye Chen before viciously grabbing at his head.
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by the speed of the Eagle Phoenix...
This is normal, though. The Heavenly Phoenix Clan are magical beasts that control the wind and are known for their speed. The Eagle Phoenix bloodline has taken this characteristic to the extreme, which is why it has such terrifying speed.
As the eagle phoenix moved, the Great Celestial Venerable gave a sinister smile...
Black energy surged within its body, transforming into countless hideous souls that screamed shrilly as they charged into the bone knife.
As these numerous souls poured in, traces of crimson, resembling dark bloodstains, gradually appeared on the stark white surface of the bone knife.
"Soul-Destroying Slash!"
As the strange bloodstains appeared on the bone blade, a solemn expression appeared on the Great Celestial Venerable's face. He suddenly swung his hand, and the huge bone blade slashed down fiercely at Ye Chen.
Although it was their first time working together, the two displayed extremely good teamwork from the very first move. One in front and one behind, they completely blocked all of Ye Chen's escape routes, and every move they made was a deadly attack, giving Ye Chen no chance to breathe at all.
Ye Chen's gaze swept over the two's coordinated attack, his face showing no panic. With a thought, a layer of golden scales covered the massive body...
"Heavenly Dragon Armor!"
"True Dragon Covering the Sky Hand!"
First, Ye Chen donned a sturdy defensive armor, then struck out with both hands to the left and right respectively. Boundless energy surged from his palms, transforming into a pair of enormous purple-gold dragon claws that directly seized Eagle Phoenix and the Great Celestial Venerable!
"Boom! Boom!"
Under Ye Chen's fierce attack, both the claw wind and the bone knife were torn apart by the violent palm force. As the initiators of the attack, Eagle Phoenix and the Great Celestial Venerable were also affected, their blood and qi churning, and they were sent flying thousands of meters away.
"How is this possible? Even if all the fighting techniques this kid has cultivated are at the Heavenly Rank, it's unbelievable that he could use them so easily and block both of our attacks!"
The Grand Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace was utterly shocked, unable to comprehend how the other party had accomplished all of this.
Looking at Ye Chen again, facing the full-force attacks of two two-star Dou Sheng powerhouses, he merely swayed slightly, without even moving his feet, which shocked everyone present.
In reality, Ye Chen wasn't as relaxed as he appeared.
After all, neither the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace nor the Eagle Phoenix were ordinary people. If the Star Orbit Technique only consumed star power and did not require the prior gathering of battle qi, he would definitely be in a worse state than the other two.
"Phew... Replenishing my star power!"
With a thought, Ye Chen consumed one-third of the star essence he had accumulated over the past few days. Then, the star soul, which had become dim due to the use of star orbit techniques several times, shone brightly again.
Because the previous attacks hadn't consumed much battle energy,
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had returned to his peak, his figure transforming into a phantom as he charged towards the eagle-phoenix overhead...
At the same time, seeing that Ye Chen had actually suppressed two veteran Dou Sheng, the morale of the Dan Tower team was greatly boosted, while the Tian Yao Huang Clan and the Soul Palace team stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could Ye Chen withstand the combined attack of two Dou Sheng?!" The twin phoenixes roared in disbelief.
On the other side, Hun Yu's face was also grim, his eyes darting around rapidly, as if he were deep in thought...
Such an opportunity was naturally not to be missed by Cai Die and the others.
Her Majesty the Queen declared in a loud voice, "Everyone, unleash your full power and kill the members of the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan!"
As soon as the words were spoken, led by the three high-level half-saints, Cai Die, Ancestor Xian Kong, and Yao Chen, all the powerful members of the Three Sects Alliance immediately launched a fierce attack on the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Caught off guard, many powerful figures from both races were seriously injured or killed, and the battlefield quickly became one-sided.
"You bastards, how dare you!"
Seeing that many of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's experts had been killed or wounded in just a few encounters, Eagle Phoenix was furious and prepared to send a rescue.
Unfortunately, he had only taken one step forward when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a huge, whistling hand that directly suppressed him from above.
"You still have the energy to care about other people?"
Ye Chen let out a cold shout, and a massive palm print, like a world unto itself, suddenly appeared above the Eagle Phoenix's head, then crashed down with a devastating force...
The space along the way was cracking inch by inch, and sonic booms rang out one after another.
This scene caused the previously furious Eagle Phoenix to suddenly change color, and a huge sense of crisis instantly rushed into his heart.
"Damn it, danger!"
"Wow!"
Faced with the threat of death, a loud phoenix cry resounded through the void.
The Eagle Phoenix's body suddenly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a Heavenly Demon Phoenix that was a thousand feet in size!
With a flap of its enormous wings, a beam of light hundreds of feet long shot out from its mouth, slamming fiercely into the massive palm print.
"boom!"
Like a meteorite collision, the terrifying impact, like a tsunami, roared and filled the entire sky. The aftershocks pounded the ground from a thousand meters above, instantly leveling dozens of mountains in the heart of this ancient, desolate region…
The terrifying aftershocks were quickly neutralized by an invisible force only when they reached the area covered by the ancient Bodhi tree.
Faced with the eagle-phoenix's desperate resistance, purple-brown flames instantly erupted around Ye Chen, followed by a streak of black lightning that streaked through the flames. At that moment, Ye Chen's aura surged to the peak of a two-star Dou Sheng...
"Suppress me!"
With the enhancement of the Three Thousand Starry Sky Fire and the Black Demon Lightning, Ye Chen's palm strike instantly multiplied several times. The pillar of light emitted by the Eagle Phoenix shattered in less than a second, and then the palm strike landed heavily on the thousand-foot-tall demonic phoenix without any further obstruction...
"Hey...!"
A mournful cry echoed through the heavens and earth. Then everyone saw the enormous phoenix in the sky plummet from its vantage point as if its wings had been clipped, crashing heavily into the mountains of the desolate ancient domain.
Chapter 456 The Fall of the Two Saints
The fall of a Battle Saint shook the heavens and earth!
As the enormous body of the Eagle Phoenix descended from the sky and crashed through the earth, an exceptionally violent earthquake struck the entire desolate ancient domain.
The endless beast tide that had been gathered at the edge of the inner domain seemed to have been greatly stimulated. One after another, the terrifying beasts began to desperately flee towards the outer edge of the ancient wilderness, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would lose their lives!
Just as Ye Chen was about to check if the Eagle Phoenix, which had been smashed into the ground, was truly dead, a tremendous sense of danger suddenly came from behind him, and a bone-chilling cold instantly filled his nerves...
It turned out that during the intense battle between Ye Chen and Eagle Phoenix, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace abandoned his "ally" who had come to his rescue, and instead seized the opportunity to clench his hand towards the ruins below...
The massive bone blade that Ye Chen had knocked away instantly flew out and hovered in front of him...
The Great Celestial Venerable moved and stood directly on the bone blade. Immediately, ripples appeared on the bone blade, and the Great Celestial Venerable's body slowly merged into the bone blade.
"Man and sword fusion..."
This bizarre scene went unnoticed by anyone.
Once the two were fully fused, the enormous Bone Emperor Blade appeared to be suspended in mid-air...
On the blade, the face of the Great Celestial Venerable appeared strangely. He looked at Ye Chen's back with a wicked smile. Countless fine bloodstains slowly spread on the white blade, like human blood vessels, densely packed.
It turns out that this bone knife was forged by the Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace from the bones of ten thousand people. Countless souls were sacrificed to it, and even ordinary people who were touched by its blade's aura would suffer the torment of being devoured by countless souls...
When the Great Celestial Venerable merges himself into the blade, its power will increase several times in an instant!
"stop!"
The moment the Bone Emperor Blade was formed, there was a tremor, and then it vanished without a trace...
When the Bone Emperor Blade disappeared, Ye Chen felt a great sense of crisis.
Almost reflexively, he retreated rapidly, and in that instant, the space in front of him rippled, and a sharp blade slashed down, the blade less than half a foot away from Ye Chen's head!
"what?!"
Startled, Ye Chen broke out in a cold sweat, his mind racing with alarm bells.
However, after seeing the evolved Bone Emperor Blade, he was immediately horrified...
Anyone who saw a human face appear on this white bone knife, and that face, like a ghost, was staring at them with a sinister laugh, would probably be startled.
This is absolutely despicable psychological attack!
"Hey, your reaction time isn't slow!"
The attack missed its mark, and a strange laugh emanated from the Bone Emperor Blade once more.
Then, the blade trembled, and a strange sword cry suddenly rang out. Countless sword shadows flashed out, instantly enveloping the space around Ye Chen, with sharp sword light pointing directly at his vital points.
Ye Chen's expression changed, and he was about to make a move when he heard clanging sounds all around him...
"hiss……"
The stinging sensation made Ye Chen gasp involuntarily.
Although the opponent's attack did not break through his defensive Heavenly Dragon Armor, he still felt a sharp pain coming from the spot where he was hit.
"It seems this old man wasn't exaggerating; he does indeed have some skill..."
At this moment, Ye Chen also had some respect for this Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace. These guys who manipulate souls always managed to come up with some strange and wonderful things.
But what Ye Chen didn't know was...
The Great Celestial Venerable, whose face was practically painted on a knife, was even more astonished.
"Just what is this kid? Why is his physical defense so terrifying? I'm afraid even the group of ancient Void Dragons that are hiding don't have such strong defense."
That's true, after all, the Heavenly Dragon Armor comes from the Heavenly Dragon clan within the Dragon race, which is a level higher than the Ancient Void Dragon.
In the vast world, the dragon race can be said to be an extremely powerful race. The strongest bloodline among them is the True Dragon, followed by the Celestial Dragon, and then the Ancient Void Dragon and other branches of the dragon race. Even the lowest-ranking dragons can be ranked among the top divine beasts in the vast world.
Faced with Ye Chen's indestructible scales, the Bone Emperor Blade's attack frequency surged wildly once again. The extremely terrifying attack speed forced Ye Chen to become serious.
boom!
At one point, Ye Chen felt the stinging pain in his shoulder intensify, and a smear of blood splattered into the air.
His eyes darted slightly, and he noticed that a section of the Heavenly Dragon Armor on his shoulder had been torn open after being attacked several times in succession...
This scene filled the Great Celestial Venerable with great joy.
"Finally, I've broken through your turtle shell. Now, just wait to hand over your life..."
The blade was stained with blood, and Ye Chen felt an extremely cold and sinister aura seeping into his body through the wound.
"Is this what the Great Celestial Venerable called 'Ten Thousand Souls Devouring the Body'?"
Those chilling auras are the souls that have been sacrificed to the sword, containing endless resentment and malevolent energy. If they were to truly invade a body, an ordinary person would probably be devoured of all flesh and soul in an instant.
Unfortunately, putting aside Ye Chen's terrifying soul power, his Three Thousand Starry Sky Fire alone is the absolute nemesis of these cold and yin forces.
"Heh heh, so what if you have a turtle shell?" The body of the Great Celestial Venerable reappeared on the Bone Emperor Blade that Ye Chen had punched away. He looked at Ye Chen with a strange laugh and said, "Your attack speed is too slow. It can't keep up with me after I've become one with the blade..."
Hearing the other party's confident words, Ye Chen couldn't help but curl a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Fast, huh... well, let's see if you can dodge this move!"
