Ci Flame has arrived!

This news spread like a storm, sweeping across the entire Tongxuan Continent and quickly extending to the surrounding Cyan Continent, White Cloud Continent, and Haotian Continent.

But.

The real shock was not just this.

It was that with the strength of one man, he easily suppressed the entire Yun Ding City, which included more than seventy Celestial Saints from the Tongxuan Continent.

More than seventy Celestial Saints!

Such a number, once unified, would possess enormous power, capable of sweeping through the entire Tongxuan Continent, and even half of the Eastern Domain effortlessly.

However,

they were subdued by Ci Flame just like that.

Moreover,

even more terrifying, these more than seventy Celestial Saints were directly sealed in their cultivation and hung upside down outside Yun Ding City.

Thus, Ci Flame occupied Yun Ding City.

And the few members who came with Ci Flame from the Celestial God Sect began a bloody suppression, slaughtering all who dared to resist without exception!

On the first day, the Celestial God Sect set foot in the Spirit Coffin Sect, killing four Celestial Saints, nearly wiping out the higher-ups of the Spirit Coffin Sect.

On the second day, the Celestial God Sect entered the Vast Sea Sect, directly killing the Supreme Elder Wu Qiankun.

On the third day, the Celestial God Sect encountered an ambush of nearly ten Celestial Saint powerhouses from the Tongxuan Continent, but they were all killed without any survivors.

...

In just three days,

the Celestial God Sect once again stirred a bloody storm in the Tongxuan Continent, even more terrifying than when Ci Yuan was there. Meanwhile, news of the destruction of the Mingwang Sect in the Taixu Continent also spread.

At that moment, countless people were horrified.

It's important to know,

the Mingwang Sect was not only the number one sect in the Taixu Continent but also the largest sect even in the entire Eastern Domain. Yet, under the crushing force of the Celestial God Sect, it was utterly annihilated?

Where there is a toppled nest, no egg remains intact?

Some sects and families started to adapt to the situation and pledged allegiance to the Celestial God Sect.

"Is it true? Is our Eastern Domain truly doomed?"

"These people are just fence-sitters, allowing the Eastern Domain to lord over us without resistance, and now they're becoming lackeys instead?"

"Is there really no one capable of confronting the Celestial God Sect?"

At this moment,

some people thought of Ye Qingchen.

Simultaneously, a feeling of regret welled up in their hearts.

"It's truly tragic that the vast Eastern Domain could not compare to a single young person!"

"Indeed, back then, before Ye Qingchen even became a Celestial Saint, he dared to confront over a hundred powerhouses from Black Abyss City in the Abyssal Valley and had a relentless battle with Mo Luo Celestial Saint... These people can't even match a single young man!"

"Sadly, if Ye Qingchen hadn't perished in the Desert Spirit Spring, with his potential, given a few more years of cultivation, he might have indeed been able to stand against the Celestial God Sect!"

At that moment,

countless people thought of Ye Qingchen and directed their gaze toward the Desert Spirit Spring.

Of course,

Ci Flame also thought of him.

Perhaps others didn't know, but he was aware.

Ye Qingchen had killed Ci Tian, Ci Hen, and Ci Yuan in the Desert Spirit Spring. How could this blood debt be so easily forgotten? So, after subduing Yun Ding City, he immediately sent people to the Desert Spirit Spring.

This action naturally meant seeking either the living or the dead.

While the entire Tongxuan Continent and even the entire Eastern Domain were trembling and helpless, Ye Qingchen broke through the twelfth layer of the Glazed Tower on the same day!

"He actually passed the twelfth layer so easily!"

Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint was filled with shock.

Although,

he had anticipated that Ye Qingchen might pass the twelfth layer, or even reach the fifteenth layer, he hadn't expected Ye Qingchen to do so with such ease.

From the moment he exchanged a blow with the guardian of the twelfth layer, defeating him with just one sword, it was clear that Ye Qingchen hadn't shown his full strength.

Moreover,

Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint could also tell that with each confrontation, Ye Qingchen's cultivation grew deeper, and his swordsmanship sharper.

"Perhaps this kid might truly obtain the inheritance of my lifetime!"

Advance! Advance! Advance!

Thirteenth layer!

Fourteenth layer!

Fifteenth layer!

With Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint's expectant gaze, three more days passed in the outside world, and simultaneously, Ye Qingchen also passed the fifteenth layer, preparing to enter the sixteenth!

However.

As Ye Qingchen was about to enter the sixteenth layer, Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint, who had been quietly watching, appeared once again.

"Young man, as agreed, you have passed the fifteenth layer! Are you sure you want to continue the challenge? The difficulty of the last three layers is immense, and you might even die in the tower, relating to an absolutely impossible swordsmanship!"

"Even if you give up the challenge now, you can still receive my entire inheritance!"

Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint looked at Ye Qingchen.

At this moment,

his heart was incredibly conflicted.

On one hand, he hoped Ye Qingchen would continue to challenge, for to a sword cultivator, the sword is their spine, unyielding and never retreating easily.

On the other hand, he hoped Ye Qingchen would choose to give up, as the difficulty of the last three layers was significant, and with Ye Qingchen's cultivation, it was nearly impossible to pass, possibly even leading to death inside.

Having finally found a worthy successor, he didn't want to see Ye Qingchen perish here.

"The eighteenth layer?"

"An absolutely impossible swordsmanship?"

Hearing Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint's words, Ye Qingchen was astonished, never imagining such a strange matter. It truly sounded beyond comprehension!

"Indeed!"

Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint nodded, "The intricacy of this swordsmanship surpasses my comprehension, reaching an impossible level. I suspect it is a Celestial Tier..."

"No, it might even surpass the Celestial Tier, a swordsmanship that shouldn't exist in this world!"

"Alas!"

"When I went into madness, I only managed to use the third sword before my meridians reversed and I died. If I could have used all seven swords, I might have survived!"

"But it is an extremely malevolent swordsmanship, and I placed it at the end, adding three temporary guardians to prevent its dissemination!"

What?

Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint's words utterly shocked Ye Qingchen.

He never imagined there could be such a bizarre and mysterious swordsmanship in the world.

To be used by a maddened Celestial Saint as a last resort to grasp at life, yet still deemed malevolent by him, unwilling to let it spread?

At that moment,

Ye Qingchen's heart was full of curiosity.

But facing Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint's sincere expression, Ye Qingchen shook his head and said:

"I still wish to continue!"

"This is not about your so-called mysterious swordsmanship, nor about anything else! It's just that I never choose to give up, and I must pass through all eighteen layers!!!"

This is Ye Qingchen!

The relentless Ye Qingchen! Unyielding in the face of any adversity!

Even Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint was moved by Ye Qingchen's determination at that moment.

With a resounding echo,

Ye Qingchen stepped into the sixteenth layer!

Hum~

As he entered the Glazed Tower's sixteenth layer, just like before, a burst of dazzling light erupted. Within the endless light, a silhouette emerged!

Simultaneously, a stunning young girl appeared before Ye Qingchen.

"Young man!"

"Congratulations on reaching the sixteenth layer! Your opponent is me, Qian Qiuxue, the chief disciple under Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint!"
