As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Liu Luocheng taken aback, but everyone else present also had their expressions darken.

They were all paramount figures outside, and if not for the emergence of the Golden Lotus and entry into the Abyssal Valley Secret Realm, with Ye Qingchen's status and qualifications, he wouldn't even have the right to meet them.

In Liu Luocheng's eyes, a chilling killing intent exploded, and he coldly said, "What did you say? Even a mere ant dares to be so arrogant in front of me, what do you think you are?"

"You're nothing but a bumpkin from Cyan Continent. How dare someone as weak as you make it to the Central Island? Now that you've encountered me, I won't let you go any further!"

In his eyes.

Ye Qingchen was nothing more than a stray dog with no escape, who finally fled to Black Abyss City. If it weren't for Qin Wentian's intervention, he would have been dead long ago.

Yet this kind of being dares to challenge him? Dares to call him stupid!

In an instant, rage rose from his heart, and malice grew beside his courage.

"Little bastard, die for me!"

Boom!

As the words fell.

Liu Luocheng had already taken a fierce step forward, slamming his palm down.

Rumble!

In the void, it seemed as though thunder roared.

A violent wind arose in the void, instantly forming a gigantic palm tens of feet in size, crashing down as it formed. This terrifying palm seemed to blot out the sky, as if the firmament was collapsing.

Although this giant palm was formed by True Qi, it was as hard as iron. Let alone flesh and blood, even a massive bluestone several meters high would be smashed into dust!

As the giant palm lifted, it kicked up flying sand and stones.

"What a powerful palm!"

Many people were inwardly shocked.

Liu Luocheng, as a formidable figure on the silver battle ranking, had formidable strength. His move was called the 'Nine Heavens Palm,' akin to the Ninefold Mountain Sword, consisting of nine palms, with each palm being a heaven!

"Ye Qingchen is doomed!"

The few opposite looked on coldly.

To them.

Ye Qingchen was just a trivial ant, with no part in the fight for the treasures of Central Island. Even if Liu Luocheng didn't act, they would have taken action themselves.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Ye Qingchen simply raised his right hand.

No extra movements, no complex Dharma Seals. He just lightly pushed forward, the motion casual, as if a random wave, seemingly without a shred of strength.

Like a powerless youth's final struggle!

But the colossal palm, pressed down like an overwhelming force, at the instant of contacting his hand, shuddered violently and exploded on the spot. Countless streams of True Qi reversed like a celestial river, surging toward Liu Luocheng at an even faster speed than they came.

"How is this possible?"

Liu Luocheng exclaimed.

His arms flailed, repeatedly waving his palms, exhausting all his strength to disperse the surge of True Qi. Yet before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a jade-like palm extending from the void, gently pushing toward him.

This palm moved extremely slowly.

But to Liu Luocheng, it created a sense of inevitability, unavoidable and inescapable.

"How can there be such an absurd feeling?"

Liu Luocheng growled, expelling the strange sensation from his mind as he clenched his hand into a fist, fiercely striking toward the palm.

Bang!

Fist and palm collided.

Then.

The hidden power erupted simultaneously.

Liu Luocheng's body trembled; it felt like he was swept by an immense tidal wave, and in that instant, he even thought his entire skeleton had been shattered. It was an unparalleled force that, without the slightest warning, had surged into his body.

This force was immense beyond measure, so much that Liu Luocheng didn't even have time to scream before he spat blood on the spot, the scene unfolding before everyone's shocked gaze like a kite with a broken string, swiftly flying backward across the void.

Crack! Crack!

His body crashed through more than a dozen large trees, flying wildly, carving a trench dozens of meters long into the ground before slamming into a massive rock to halt.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The cultivators from the same island as Liu Luocheng stared at the scene, dumbfounded. A few with lower cultivation almost popped their eyes out.

The burly man wielding an axe sneered, "I guessed it would end like this!"

In everyone's incredulous eyes, Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his fist, shaking his head:

"You're too weak!"

Boom!

As these words were spoken, the area was filled with extreme astonishment.

Especially those from the same outer island as Liu Luocheng, they were left dumbstruck. They expected that it should have been Ye Qingchen flying backward, but it ended up being Liu Luocheng? And moreover...

Too weak?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

They wouldn't have dared to believe it.

It's crucial to know.

Liu Luocheng is a formidable figure on the silver battle ranking!

"I understand now!"

Not until now did a voice arise from the crowd.

A Confucian Scholar suddenly realized, his eyes revealing a hint of shock, "No wonder these people are so respectful to Ye Qingchen, there's only one reason..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

But everyone already understood the implication.

If Ye Qingchen didn't have enough strength, how could he make this group bow and submit?

"Isn't this kid too terrifying? With just Profound Pill Fifth Heaven, he can already subdue an outer island. Being able to strike Liu Luocheng with a single palm, what kind of formidable presence will he be if he reaches Profound Pill Ninth Heaven?"

Thinking of this, everyone was even more shocked.

Previously.

They had been perplexed as to why Yuan Shisan made such a big deal out of deploying the Slaughter Hall against Ye Qingchen. Only now did they understand the terror of this youth.

Even Yuan Shisan and Ding Qitian, if they saw this young man again, might not be his opponents.

"Do you still want to make a move?"

Ye Qingchen looked around with a sweeping gaze.

"Young Master Ye, your might is boundless, we dare not!" The earlier Confucian Scholar quickly bowed his head. His name was Bai Yunluo, also at Profound Pill Ninth Heaven. Even Liu Luocheng was no match for Ye Qingchen's single punch; he naturally wouldn't dare oppose him.

"Young Master Ye, we dare not!"

The others quickly bowed their heads as well.

Ye Qingchen was about to speak but suddenly froze, looking into the distance, "It's here!"

It's here?

What's here?

As everyone was puzzled.

Suddenly, a chilling voice came:

"Ye Qingchen, you have finally arrived!"

Before the crowd could react, a huge shadow suddenly darted out of the forest.

It was a gigantic demonic lizard, robust like a flood dragon, with a body spanning over ten yards long, covered in black scales the size of a palm. Lying on the ground, it exuded a powerful sense of intimidation.

Its dark green eyes coldly gazed at the crowd.

In the face of this demon, everyone felt as insignificant as dust.

Thud!

As everyone readied themselves.

A terrifying footstep echoed.

Then they saw.

Another demon giant lizard stepped out.

And then another.

Yet.

The demon giant lizards did not directly pounce toward the crowd, but seemingly waited for something.

"Could it be?"

Unease crept into everyone's hearts.

Then.

A commotion arose within the demon giant lizard group, and they scattered like a tide. A presence, about three times bigger than the others, swaggered forward.

Clearly.

This was the Giant Lizard King!

But what shocked everyone even more was the sight of a black, ghostlike figure seated atop the Giant Lizard King, an old man, with a lean face, wearing an Alchemy Master robe, long sleeves billowing, with white hair and beard, resembling an immortal.

Under the crowd's ghostlike gazes, the old man grinned:

"Ye Qingchen, we meet again!"

"It's you?"

Ye Qingchen's eyes contracted.

The visitor was none other than Mu Shanhe.
