Chapter 1222: Withering Away
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Ping struck repeatedly and tried to force Ye Chen to retreat.
The power of a fourth-grade immortal artifact was not just for show. In terms of power alone, it was eight times more powerful than a second-grade immortal artifact!
If Ye Chen had not relied on the power of Nirvana to block a portion of the attack and used the Slaughter Dao and the Immortal Dao to block the other portion, he would have been sent flying.
He knew that as long as he held on for 20 seconds, Chen Ping would die!
As for the phantom of the Nine Neonate, it was completely restrained by the power of the three Daos and could not transmit power to Chen Ping. It was equivalent to the power of his bloodline being cut off, leaving him only able to rely on his life force.
In the blink of an eye, the handsome young man’s face was full of scars, and his expression was one of dejection.
“Ye Chen, I admit defeat,” he said weakly, “Let me go! You’ve already exhausted too much of my lifespan!”
“Even if you let me go back now, I’ll be too weak to harm you, so please let me leave, I’m begging you.”
Chen Ping’s arrogance had disappeared and he was full of regret. Why had he bothered to come here in the first place?
All he had wanted to do was obtain blood essence and energy to improve his cultivation. However, he ended up encountering a cultivator who used the power of Nirvana.
They had just fought for less than fifteen minutes, and he had already suffered heavy losses. His future was ruined just like that…
He could not accept this!
“Hmph, if I had lost, would you have let me go?”
“Accept your death obediently, you scum!”
“Ye Chen, if you want to kill me, you have to be prepared to die!”
“Nirvana Light Wave, shatter!”
The wave of withering light suddenly shattered and turned into fragments that pierced into Chen Ping’s body like sharp swords.
Ye Chen retreated rapidly as he casually fended off the phantom of the Nine Neonate.
Whoosh!
A cold wind blew past, and the phantom of the Nine Neonate turned into ashes.
Chen Ping stood in the ring blankly. His white hair danced in the wind, and his skin was full of wrinkles. At this moment, he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties. He was afraid that in a few moments, he would wither away and collapse for good.
Puchi!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. “Bloodline…”
He lowered his head and looked around him. There were fragments that were more than an inch in size stuck in his body, and they were rapidly depleting his remaining lifespan. There was no way he could save himself!
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come here!”
“Coming here was the biggest mistake of my life!” Chen Ping’s gaze swept across everyone around him. He smiled bitterly and said, “Twenty-five years of bitter cultivation. I wanted to ascend to the heavens one day and dominate the world. I didn’t expect that coming here would lead to the end of my fate.”
“Time flies. These last seconds will pass in the blink of an eye…”
“You’re so cruel,” he said as he stared at Ye Chen.
For a young man, killing him this way was far worse than dying in battle. The feeling of powerlessness and feeling his life slipping away was simply intolerable.
“Cruel?”
“Back then, your Blood Spirit Clan slaughtered countless cultivators in the Kunlun Mountains. Was that not cruel?”
Ye Chen’s response was acidic. “You incurred a debt, so it’s time for you to pay up. You cannot blame anyone but yourself for this.”
The Nirvana Light Wave’s ability to consume the lifespan of others was a nightmare for any enemy. Cultivators could accept being killed, but watching themselves die of old age in a very short time, destroying all their dreams and hopes, was a thousand times more vicious than killing them!
However, Ye Chen only used this technique on the members of the Blood Spirit Clan and those that had sided with them. This was the most appropriate way to deal with evil people and their supporters.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The surroundings became silent. Everyone stared at the arena stage with astonished gazes, especially Han Yun, Ye Lingtian, Tian Wen, Bai Zhan, and the others.
It turned out that the hall master’s trump card was so terrifying!
Within twenty seconds, he had exhausted the lifespan of a first-level Semi Divine realm expert. If used on a Supreme Emperor realm expert, it would probably not take more than a few seconds for the other party to wither away.
Such an ability was heaven-defying. As long as Ye Chen could hold out against an enemy, this technique would be able to gradually exhaust the strength and lifespan of his enemy.
Among them, the one who had the clearest understanding of this was Elder Bai Zhan, as he also cultivated the Nirvana Dao. However, he had yet to comprehend the Nirvana Light Wave, and was unable to exhaust his opponent’s lifespan in a short period of time like Ye Chen.
At most, his attacks could only consume a few hundred years of his opponent’s lifespan.
“The Hall Master’s talent is truly terrifying!”
“How long has he even cultivated the Nirvana Dao?!” Elder Bai Zhan sighed to himself and did some mental calculations. It seemed to be less than a month.
Unbelievable!
Only the geniuses from the major families of the Blood Spirit Clan could be compared to the hall master.
Thud!
A figure collapsed to the ground. It was Chen Ping. After his body hit the ground, it turned into powder and the wind scattered it into the sky.
“You actually killed Chen Ping!”
“Brat, how dare you!”
Wei Wucheng flew into a rage, and he no longer cared about the matter of glory of the Blood Spirit Clan.
He leapt onto the arena, his cold eyes emitting a bone-chilling chill.
“Ye Chen, you b*stard, how dare you kill three of my disciples!”
“Especially Chen Ping!”
“His bloodline is something a lowly thing like you can never comprehend or compare to!”
With a wave of his hand, he conjured a bolt of blood-red lightning, which struck Ye Chen, sending him flying off the arena stage.
“You bastard, do you know that Chen Ping is a genius disciple who can participate in the competition for outer sect disciples? I won’t let you off easily today!”
Then, he used a knife-hand chop and unleashed an attack at Ye Chen. As it flew toward him, it shook the ground until it cracked.
Even the huge arena that was constructed using a sixth-grade spiritual weapon began to crumble from the shockwaves. Thousands of shards flew everywhere.
“Solar Lunar Slash!”
Ye Chen shouted and channeled all of his blood essence into the Extermination Saber as he unleashed his own attack. The azure dragon and phoenix soared into the sky.
