In utter silence.

Under this sword strike, the body of the Jiao Demon King was split into two halves.

After that moment.

The entire void began to operate again.

Silence!

The mountain was deathly still.

Not a sound was heard.

Countless demons stared, breathless, shocked by the scene before them.

Boom! Boom!

As blood spurted wildly, the cleaved Jiao Demon King crashed heavily onto the ground. His eyes were wide open, still bearing an expression of disbelief, as if he couldn't comprehend that he had died by Ye Qingchen's sword.

"You, how dare you kill me!"

Not until a moment later.

The last glimmer in his eyes quietly faded away, completely extinguished.

Boom!

Witnessing the fall of the Jiao Demon King.

All the demons on the mountain suddenly snapped out of their shock.

In a clamor of panic, they frantically fled in all directions. Even the Jiao Demon King had died by Ye Qingchen's sword; how could they have any courage to face him?

"Kill them, leave none alive!"

Seeing this, Steward Guo unsheathed his longsword and immediately charged forward.

Everyone else from the Martial Arts Arena shouted in fury, quickly following suit, unwilling to let these demons escape.

"Young Master Ye!"

Moments later, the people from the Martial Arts Arena came panting from a distance, and Steward Guo's voice echoed from afar, "Those demons escaped too quickly, we only managed to kill a portion."

"Don't worry, rescuing Mr. Zhou is the priority," Ye Qingchen said in a deep voice, "Those demons won't be able to escape!"

"Lord Zhou isn't dead?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise and joy.

Ye Qingchen nodded slowly.

Zhou Yuntian's strength was only slightly inferior to Qin Wentian; the Jiao Demon King was not his match, so how could he possibly kill Zhou Yuntian? Therefore, earlier in the palace, Ye Qingchen had carefully coaxed the Jiao Demon King to reveal Zhou Yuntian's whereabouts.

"Where is Lord Zhou now?"

Steward Zhao hurriedly asked.

Ye Qingchen did not speak, but instead looked towards the back mountain.

The crowd followed his gaze.

Then, they saw.

With the fall of the Jiao Demon King, the vast black clouds overhead not only showed no signs of calming, but instead began to boil and churn uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the crowd turned pale with horror.

Steward Zhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Young Master Ye, what's happening?"

"The Jiao Demon King is dead, and with no one controlling the Black Mountain Array, it has become unstable," Ye Qingchen said solemnly, "As for Mr. Zhou, he is in the back mountain. The Jiao Demon King couldn't defeat Mr. Zhou, so he trapped him there."

Upon hearing this, despair flooded into everyone's eyes.

The sky above them, seen from afar, resembled a raging black sea.

Moreover.

The black mist condensed into black dragons, constantly weaving through the clouds. Almost in an instant, the entire Netherworld Mountain seemed to have transformed into a gigantic Killing Array!

With the Black Cloud Flood Dragon dancing, each dragon was over a hundred feet long, resembling Heaven-Supporting Locks. Even a Profound Pill Realm expert would be torn apart in an instant.

And the Grand Array did not distinguish between friend and foe.

The demons fleeing in all directions were almost instantly shredded by the Black Cloud Flood Dragon.

"You all stay here, I will find a way to break the array and rescue Mr. Zhou!"

Before anyone could react.

Ye Qingchen was already rushing towards the back mountain with his sword.

Crash!

As Ye Qingchen stepped into the back mountain.

The clouds above radically changed, boiling like a cauldron, several Black Cloud Flood Dragons descended from the sky, opening their giant mouths to bite down. The gaping mouths revealed fangs, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

"Get out of the way!"

Ye Qingchen squinted, his eyes gleaming with cold light.

Directly using the Wind-Breaking Style.

A hurricane swept up into a mighty sword beam, slicing through violently. The over one-hundred-meter-long Black Cloud Flood Dragon was directly severed... yet, the Black Mountain Array enveloped the entire Netherworld Mountain, filled with nothing but endless black clouds.

Once Ye Qingchen stepped in, he was like a spark falling into an oil pot, the Black Mountain Array rippled wildly.

Instantly.

Countless Black Cloud Flood Dragons churned like lightning, fiercely charging towards Ye Qingchen's position. The scene was apocalyptic.

"Open, open, open!"

Ye Qingchen's starforce surged.

Swinging his sword repeatedly.

He forcefully carved out a bloody path.

But.

How could the Black Mountain Array be easily dealt with?

A thunderous roar echoed as countless severed Black Cloud Flood Dragons rapidly condensed, forming a dragon over three hundred feet long, spanning the sky!

When this dragon formed, its overwhelming aura burst forth into the sky, even more terrifying than when the Jiao Demon King controlled it earlier. It charged with lightning speed.

My God!

Seeing this, countless people were utterly shocked.

How could there be such terrifying attacks?

"Is this the power of the Black Mountain Array?" The crowd gasped.

It was like divine wrath; even though Ye Qingchen had fought his way here, appearing almost godlike in their eyes, they couldn't help but feel shaken upon seeing this terrifying Black Cloud Flood Dragon.

"I wonder if Young Master Ye can withstand it!"

For a moment.

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned towards Ye Qingchen.

"Is this the Black Mountain Array?"

Watching the hundreds of Black Cloud Flood Dragons forming together, Ye Qingchen's pupils contracted.

Is this the power of arrays?

This black dragon had already gathered all the power of the Black Mountain Array, charging forth. Its speed was tearing through the sky, already piercing towards Ye Qingchen!

What to do?

How to dodge?

Relying solely on the Wind-Breaking Style couldn't kill this Black Cloud Flood Dragon.

"That is?"

Right then.

Ye Qingchen's pupils contracted.

He discovered.

A black gleam flashed on the forehead of the Black Cloud Flood Dragon.

"The eye of the array!"

"That is the eye of the whole Black Mountain Array!"

"No wonder I couldn't break the Black Mountain Array before; the eye is hidden in the Black Cloud Flood Dragon!"

Buzz!

Ye Qingchen slowly raised the Silver Dragon Sword.

Hair flowing, eyes shining like lightning, a mighty aura gathered around him.

In the instant the Black Cloud Flood Dragon charged, Ye Qingchen strode forward, slashing out with the Silver Dragon Sword.

Boom!

The Silver Dragon Sword struck the forehead of the Black Cloud Flood Dragon, and in that instant, endless spiritual light burst forth in the world. Within this majestic spiritual light, even the stars within Ye Qingchen seemed to stop turning, causing everything in the surroundings to pale.

It seemed to last a long time, yet it might have been just a split second.

Amid endless spiritual light.

Ye Qingchen's Silver Dragon Sword exploded into countless fragments. But under that strike, the Black Cloud Flood Dragon trembled violently and dissolved like a bubble in the air.

And as the Black Cloud Flood Dragon dissipated, a point of black gleam on its forehead quietly flipped over and fell from the sky.

"What is that?"

As Ye Qingchen saw that black gleam, his pupils contracted, an expression of surprise and doubt escaped his lips.

He couldn't help but step forward.
