Demon Cultivators launched an assault on Demon-Vanquishing City, but Ye Jingcheng, aided by his Flood Dragon and Five-tailed Red Flame Fox, turned the tide. He swiftly eliminated multiple Nascent Soul cultivators, causing the remaining enemies to flee in disarray. One cultivator, True Monarch Miao Chong, attempted an insect-based escape but was intercepted by True Monarch Min Yue.

Furthermore, the physical body of the Spirit-controlling Earth Dragon Demon Emperor also merged with his own. Faint scales surfaced on his skin, and his Body Refining Cultivation broke through to the Early Stage of Nascent Soul in one fell swoop.

Almost as soon as he accomplished this, a golden mirror light fell upon him, making his body feel as if it were stuck in a quagmire, completely unable to move.

At the same time, a fist shadow struck out from the void, blasting toward his face. In the nick of time, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon blocked in front of him. However, a pair of eerie Spiritual Eyes surfaced in the void, as mysterious and bizarre as the heavens themselves opening their eyes. Within these eyes, Flood Dragons circled, dragons flew and phoenixes danced, monstrous Blood Pools surged, and chaotic battlefields raged.

Even though the Flood Dragon Race naturally possessed a strong resistance to Divine Soul Attacks, it was still controlled. Its entire body was sent flying away to the side.

Also sent flying and bleeding was the Red Flame Fox. Its eyes were constantly seeping blood at this moment, looking exceptionally terrifying. Its Purple Fire Heart Flame had not only failed to affect the two enemies but had also triggered a severe backlash!

Meanwhile, that terrifying fist continued to smash toward Ye Jingcheng’s face. He couldn’t describe this punch; he only knew that he couldn’t dodge it, not even with the Profound Wind Spirit Step, not even with a prior warning.

He could only activate the Taiyuan Golden Body and the Holy Spirit Tower simultaneously. However, before he could fully activate the Spirit Treasure, that punch had already sent the Holy Spirit Tower flying and ultimately landed on his body. He was instantly knocked backward, feeling intense agony all over as if his bones were falling apart.

One had to know that he had Spirit Cultivation fused with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, activated the Taiyuan Golden Body, and used a Spirit Treasure to absorb a significant amount of the force. This alone was enough to show how terrifying this punch truly was.

Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Treasure materialized, enveloping him. At this moment, he could no longer care about exposing his secrets. Fortunately, a starlight appeared, and True Monarch Xingyuan materialized angrily in front of Ye Jingcheng, holding a severed arm. Clearly, the punch just now was the work of True Monarch Jie Ye. The other party was willing to sacrifice an arm just to kill him!

The incredibly arrogant True Monarch Jie Ye also appeared in the void. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Ye Jingcheng, eventually shaking his head.

"What a pity!"

The lines on his face looked like a paper monster clinging to his skin, appearing extraordinarily demonic. One of his arms was already missing, leaving only an empty sleeve, while his other hand, flushed red, slowly unclenched to reveal bulging Blood Patterns like twisted tree roots.

Appearing alongside him was the Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, True Monarch He Yu. The two of them took a deep look at Ye Jingcheng, who finally realized what the pair of eyes in the void was. It was clearly True Monarch He Yu’s eyes. This terrifying Divine Technique made Ye Jingcheng feel incredibly wary.

Just as Ye Jingcheng prepared to release the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor, he saw the two men raise their hands, shatter True Monarch Min Yue’s Moon Thunder Bead, cast a spell to sweep up True Monarch Miao Chong, and flee into the distance.

"Do not pursue a desperate enemy!" True Monarch Xingyuan roared repeatedly when he saw the furious True Monarch Min Yue still intending to give chase. He then quickly walked to Ye Jingcheng’s side and took out a golden Elixir.

"It was my fault just now. This is a Five-Turn Golden Essence Pill!" True Monarch Xingyuan said apologetically. No one knew better than him how dangerous the situation just now had been. That wasn’t a casual strike from True Monarch Jie Ye and True Monarch He Yu. It involved two Great Divine Techniques, two major Spirit Treasures, and the combined forces of two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The Divine Technique used by True Monarch He Yu was the Great Compassion Eye, and True Monarch Jie Ye’s Divine Technique was the Six Paths Demon Slayer Fist, its True Meaning of Fist Technique originating from Ancient Demons. Therefore, even though Ye Jingcheng didn’t look exceptionally badly injured, True Monarch Xingyuan still felt that he was at the end of his rope, only forcing himself to hold on because they were still in the midst of Magical Combat.

"Alright." Ye Jingcheng withdrew his Spirit Treasure into his body and took the Spirit Pill. After sniffing it briefly and analyzing it with his Divine Sense, he swallowed it in one gulp.

The Five-Turn Golden Essence Pill was considered a Spirit Pill with the most terrifying healing capabilities, precisely a Tier Five High-Grade Spirit Pill. It was highly effective even for the injuries of Nascent Soul Peak Cultivators. The value of this single Spirit Pill was definitely above that of a Tier Five Middle-Grade Treasure. Even with the Red Flame Fox, Ye Jingcheng had no confidence in refining it right now.

After swallowing it, Ye Jingcheng felt its terrifying restorative power. For a moment, he even felt that he had somewhat wasted it. Although he was heavily injured, his Spirit Cultivation fusion was very thorough, almost taking on a Dragon-man state. Combined with the Taiyuan Golden Body, his physical body was not much inferior to that of an ordinary Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Body Cultivator. Moreover, the Holy Spirit Tower had absorbed more than half of the force, and he had twisted away to protect his vitals.

The reason his condition looked so severe was partly due to the aftereffects of the Taiyuan Golden Body. While this Secret Technique was incredibly powerful and could even buff him after a Spirit Cultivation fusion, its side effects were massive. Fortunately, with the support of the Five-Turn Golden Essence Pill, his injuries recovered rapidly.

"Qianchen Daoist, you truly surprise me!" When he saw Ye Jingcheng open his eyes, True Monarch Xingyuan somewhat guessed that Ye Jingcheng’s injuries were probably truly not that serious. In his eyes, those two Divine Techniques would have meant certain death even for Sword Cultivator Liu Zhou State Governor, yet Ye Jingcheng had withstood them. While this certainly didn’t mean Ye Jingcheng’s strength was greater than the governor’s, his talent and potential left the man in the dust.

Now, he finally understood why Ye Jingcheng was able to kill True Monarch Yin Yuan.

"Elder Xingyuan praises me too much. It was merely taking advantage of sneak attacks and trickery," Ye Jingcheng replied, thinking that True Monarch Xingyuan was referring to the killing of True Monarch Gui Xuan and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, he had indeed resorted to trickery when killing those three. Gui Xuan had been suppressed by Buddhist Sect Magical Treasures, and because the opponent had taken the initiative to enter his Array Disc Bead, he was countered by his Primordial Magnetic Divine Light. As for the latter two Nascent Soul cultivators, it was because he disguised himself as one of their own, and they hadn’t recognized him. Of course, this didn’t mean Ye Jingcheng’s Bone Transformation Pill mimicked them perfectly; it was simply that during the Nascent Soul battles, everyone was fully concentrated and didn’t have the energy to pay attention to anything else.

"Did True Monarch Gui Xuan not come to ambush you?" True Monarch Min Yue asked when he returned. Seeing that they hadn’t given chase, he had gone to kill a few Golden Core and Purple Mansion cultivators to vent his anger, but they had fled quickly.

He hadn’t seen Ye Jingcheng and True Monarch Gui Xuan enter the Magical Treasure together. He only knew that the Magical Treasure trapping him had suddenly lost its True Essence supply.

"Gui Xuan was also slain by Brother Qianchen!" Liuyun True Monarch spoke up from the side. When he said this, even his way of addressing Ye Jingcheng had changed.

Of course, Liuyun True Monarch couldn’t be blamed for this, as it was simply too unbelievable. In their memories, Ye Jingcheng had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm no more than sixty years ago. With such a terrifying speed, he would probably become the fastest person to achieve Divinity Transformation in the future. Furthermore, seeing how highly True Monarch Xingyuan valued him by taking out the Spirit Pill, it was clear enough that the Righteous Sect’s attitude toward True Monarch Qianchen was not one of suppression, but of recruitment.

"True Monarch Qianchen truly hides his depths well!" True Monarch Min Yue said with an awkward smile.

Naturally, his heart was full of doubts. He hadn’t even heard of True Monarch Qianchen’s name before. He had been in Seclusion for over eighty years and had only come out a few years ago. How could he know who True Monarch Qianchen was? But considering True Monarch Qianchen’s performance today, who he was before didn’t matter at all anymore.

Now, he had to be addressed respectfully. Even though True Monarch Min Yue was at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul and the other party was at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul, it had to be so. If the other party could kill True Monarch Gui Xuan, then he could also kill him. How could he dare to have any arrogant pride left?

"The Demon Cultivators have retreated; everyone, hurry up and recover!" True Monarch Xingyuan said repeatedly, putting his shock aside.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been fighting individually in the sky had also returned. Even Liu Zhou State Governor was injured, clearly indicating that True Monarch Xuanming had also hidden his strength. However, not all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Sect had returned. One of them had not appeared on the city wall, and the outcome was already obvious.

This inevitably added a touch of sorrow to everyone’s faces. Still, no one spoke. They simply sat in meditation to heal their injuries.

Ye Jingcheng had actually recovered a lot from his injuries, but he looked toward the Ye family’s direction. Although everyone had sustained quite a few injuries and many Spirit Beasts had died, at least not too many Ye Family Members had perished. Seeing that Ye Jing Hu, Ye Jingtting, and other core clansmen were still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

During the Nascent Soul battle just now, he had barely been able to fend for himself and didn’t have the energy to pay attention to the rest of his family. He had truly been afraid that something terrible might have happened to the core members of the Ye family.
