Chapter 2237: Ling Yun (Part 5) Chapter 2237: Ling Yun (Part 5) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, the anger in Ye Chen’s heart had reached its peak. Terrifying demonic energy kept condensing in the empty space around him. “The power of the tablet, activate!” Ye Chen roared, his voice echoing through the sky. In the sky, a pitch-black eye appeared out of thin air. This was not the power of the Demon Emperor. It belonged to the demon residing in Ye Chen’s heart. This was the demonic eye that existed within him. He transformed the power of the tablet into endless demonic energy, forming the Heavenly Demon Eye above. When the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace looked up, they were met with a piercing light. Blood instantly flowed from their eyes. They did not even have the right to look at the Demonic Eye. The ground shook violently, and the heavens roared in response. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. Dark clouds overtook the sky, and space seemed to split open. On the ground, the land collapsed, mountains crumbled, and rivers surged violently. It felt as if the world had come to an end. The malicious demons and ghosts roared in fury. The force of heaven and earth surged into Ye Chen’s body with overwhelming intensity. Ye Chen’s cold eyes remained emotionless as he stared at Ling Yun. The moment their gazes met, Ling Yun felt a wave of fear and did not dare to meet Ye Chen’s eyes any longer. Most of the demonic energy poured into the Demonic Eye above, creating a suppressive and destructive aura that continued to overwhelm her. One by one, the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace fell to the ground, unable to stand. The terrifying and oppressive aura made it nearly impossible for them to breathe. Ling Yun could sense that this aura was beginning to threaten her existence. She realized she could not allow this to continue. If she let Ye Chen keep condensing his power, she feared she would truly lose. The thought of losing to someone she viewed as insignificant filled Ling Yun with unwillingness. She charged at Ye Chen. Now, she no longer wished to spare Ye Chen’s life. She needed to deal with him as swiftly as possible, so she could not afford to give him any chance. As Ling Yun rushed forward, Ye Chen grinned. He understood very well that Ling Yun was beginning to panic. The holy light within Ling Yun exploded forth uncontrollably. After all, holy light was the nemesis of demonic energy. “Holy Sword Judgement!” Ling Yun shouted with fury. Behind her, a brilliant light flashed. These rays of light coalesced into a golden sword that seemed to possess the power to purify all that it touched. Ye Chen displayed no hesitation. He raised the Rotten Beast Sword in his hand. This time, he intended to see which was stronger. The demonic energy formed by the Reincarnation Tablet or Ling Yun’s holy light. The Rotten Beast Sword seemed to possess a will of its own as it emitted a terrifying laugh. When that laughter reached the ears of the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace, they were filled with such pain that they wished for death. The Rotten Beast Sword was originally powerful due to Ye Chen’s own portion of demonic energy. Now, combined with the Demonic Eye in the sky, the two types of demonic energy had fused into a terrifying force. The demonic energy surrounding Ye Chen formed phantoms, as if demons were being born from the darkness. The holy light behind Ling Yun rushed toward Ye Chen in an instant. The aura of the holy light assaulted Ye Chen’s senses, yet no expression crossed his face. He swung the Rotten Beast Sword with determination. The demonic energy shadows that gathered around him surged into the sword beam. The sword beam erupted, unleashing the most terrifying demonic energy in existence. “If I become a demon, I shall be the supreme demon!” Ye Chen declared internally. The moment the sword beam met the holy light, the two energies clashed continuously. The demonic energy corroded the holy light, while the holy light sought to purify the demonic energy. These two forces clashed endlessly, and for a moment, neither side gained the upper hand. Ling Yun’s brow furrowed tightly. She had not anticipated such an outcome. These forces did not explode, and neither side held an overwhelming advantage. Ling Yun ceased paying attention to Ye Chen and charged at him instead. Killing Ye Chen was her only objective. As Ling Yun rushed forward, Ye Chen sensed her approach and met her charge head-on. Boom! Boom! Boom! The collision of flesh and blood resounded, and Ling Yun found herself at a disadvantage. She could see with her own eyes that every time Ye Chen sustained an injury, a black lotus would bloom and heal the wound. These black lotuses seemed endless. If they continued to fight like this, only Ling Yun would suffer in the end. Ling Yun could not comprehend why this situation was unfolding. “You can only utilize the power of holy light, while I command the demonic energy as its master,” Ye Chen proclaimed, “The Demonic Eye belongs to me!” This was the most evident difference between the two of them. After all, the holy light was an external force that Ling Yun did not possess herself. Ling Yun’s expression darkened. Demonic energy and holy light were two opposing types of energy. Did that mean the power the Palace Master had granted her rendered her inferior to Ye Chen? This was something the proud Ling Yun could not accept. “I want you dead!” Ling Yun screamed, her rage boiling over as the aura of holy light condensed into the form of a phoenix. The phoenix lunged toward Ye Chen! Ye Chen remained unfazed. A fiery red phoenix appeared behind him as well. It was the Mystic Flame that Ye Chen had not utilized for a long time! The power of the Reincarnation Tablet emanating from his body seemed limitless! The Mystic Flame merged with the power of the Reincarnation Tablet and transformed into a phoenix phantom. Ye Chen used Thundering Flash, appearing instantly before Ling Yun. A fist shot out, landing squarely on her face. He relished the sensation of his fist making contact with her flesh. Bang! A muffled sound erupted from the impact. Ling Yun was caught off guard, and her body was sent flying. The left side of her cheek was swollen and red, which made her even more furious. This was simply unforgivable! Ye Chen had no thoughts in his mind other than his next move. The phantoms of the Qilin and the White Tiger appeared behind him, their auras shockingly powerful. Ye Chen pointed a finger, and the two divine beasts charged forward. Ling Yun extended her hand, forming a strange mark that created a faint red protective barrier around her. Boom! The force of the two divine beasts collided with the protective barrier. Ling Yun’s figure trembled as she struggled to maintain control. As the phantoms of the two divine beasts faded from view, Ling Yun let out a sigh of relief. However, when she lifted her head, her expression turned ugly in an instant. Ye Chen had reappeared before her, and he threw a punch like a meteor! He fought like a madman! How could a duel between experts of the Lingwu Continent devolve into such chaos? Ling Yun was so angry that her chest heaved, but she did not have the luxury of time to reflect on it now. The power of Ye Chen’s fist flew toward her, and Ling Yun desperately dodged. Though her speed was impressive, there were too many fist phantoms filling the sky. If she was not careful, she would be hit. High above in the sky, Xia Lingqiu’s expression darkened. Without hesitation, she formed a hand seal, and a stream of light descended. A phantom of a golden bell instantly surrounded Ling Yun. Ye Chen’s fist struck the bell, but the golden bell phantom did not budge. Xia Lingqiu would never allow the Spirit Immortal Palace to fail! Ye Chen glanced at Xia Lingqiu and sneered. “Do you truly believe I am helpless in the face of this?” “Xia Lingqiu, open your eyes wide!” he shouted. “Today, I shall present you and that old witch Ling Yun with a grand gift!” Behind Ling Yun, she suddenly heard Ye Chen’s voice. When Ling Yun turned around, she saw more than ten long swords floating in the air, each emanating extremely terrifying auras. Each sword was incredibly valuable! Not only that, but there was also an extremely rare soul artifact! The aura radiating from these artifacts sent a wave of fear through Ling Yun. She instinctively thought to escape from her position, but it was too late. Boom! Endless energy currents surged forth!
