Chapter 648: Husband and Wife Resemblance

Boom!

With Yin Zhiping's furious roar, the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu shook once more, its overwhelming pressure intensifying.

Rumble!

The void collapsed on the spot under the force, and the majestic pressure pulverized the few remaining ruined mountains into dust, while the earth split open as well.

The power of the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu shook the entire region.

Puff! Puff!

Immediately, Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang both spat out blood, and faint sounds of cracking bones could be heard from within their bodies.

"Suppression!"

Yin Zhiping roared in fury again.

"Rely on you? How dare you?"

Ye Chen's vital energy surged, and he steadied himself once more. A golden light blazed from his forehead, and a small cauldron flew out, hovering above his head.

Buzz!

With a buzzing sound, the Daluo Shen Ding radiated divine light. It was massive and ancient, exuding a simple yet natural aura, with mysterious energy flowing throughout, forming golden waterfalls. Each strand was incredibly heavy, and the Dunjia Tianzi characters on it began to rotate on their own, accompanied by the sounds of the Great Dao interweaving.

Buzz!

Another buzz followed, as Ji Ningshuang activated her natal spiritual artifact.

It was a precious lotus lamp, crystal clear and enveloped in tri-colored divine light, radiating a splendid glow.

Buzz! Buzz!

Ye Chen's Daluo Shen Ding and Ji Ningshuang's precious lotus lamp soared into the sky, circling each other as their divine powers intertwined, actually blocking the astonishing pressure of the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu.

Although they had blocked the pressure of the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu, both Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang knew that artifacts required spiritual power to unleash their full might. Thus, the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu was not displaying its complete power; if wielded by a Tianjing cultivator, the two of them would be crushed to ashes on the spot.

"Your map doesn't seem very effective!"

Having blocked the pressure of the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu, Ye Chen sneered at Yin Zhiping. His suppressed vital energy surged forth again, burning like fire.

On the other side, Ji Ningshuang's aura also returned to its peak, with radiant divine glow wrapping around her body once more.

Compared to Ye Chen, her beautiful eyes glanced at the Jiuzhou Tianxuan Tu hanging in the void, but her gaze lingered on Ye Chen's Daluo Shen Ding. With her insight, she naturally recognized its extraordinary nature, especially the Dunjia Tianzi characters surrounding the Daluo Shen Ding, which made her eyes flash with profound meaning.

"Today, both of you will die."

Yin Zhiping's roar echoed through the heavens.

Boom!

With a boom, his form changed. His body was visibly covered in a layer of Taixu Dragon Armor at a speed visible to the eye, with surging dragon energy forming a dragon that encircled him. A dragon-shaped rune even appeared on his forehead, elevating his aura to a whole new level.

"Do you think I'm easily intimidated?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly and charged first, swinging his Ba Long Dao with his left hand to unleash a world-shaking blade strike, while fusing various secret techniques into his Wu Huang Zhan Mao with his right hand, piercing through the void space.

"Kill!"

Yin Zhiping advanced instead of retreating, shattering Ye Chen's blade strike with a Taixu Sword strike, then swatting away the Wu Huang Zhan Mao with a palm flip.

"Nine Heavens Xuanling, Seal!"

"Nine Heavens Xuanling, Suppress!"

"Nine Heavens Xuanling, Annihilate!"

Meanwhile, after Ji Ningshuang delivered a peerless sword strike, she quickly formed hand seals, unleashing the three great forbidden techniques.

At once, a strange array appeared under Yin Zhiping's feet, sealing him in place. Then, a massive lotus, fifty zhang wide, manifested, with Yin Zhiping at its center.

The lotus petals were crystal clear and exquisitely radiant, closing in toward the center as if to form a bud and trap him inside.

Puff!

Yin Zhiping spat out blood on the spot, his spiritual power suppressed and his dragon energy throughout his body restrained. The tri-colored energy surging from the lotus continuously eroded and dispelled his vital energy.

"Break for me!"

Yin Zhiping's face twisted in rage as he roared. Before the lotus could fully close, a illusory dragon soul burst from his body, forcibly tearing through the lotus and charging out.

Puff!

This time, it was Ji Ningshuang who spat blood, suffering a terrifying backlash.

"Kill!"

Yin Zhiping rushed straight at Ji Ningshuang, gripping a world-shaking divine ability, intending to finish her while she was weakened by the backlash. Once Ji Ningshuang was dealt with, Ye Chen would be easier to handle.

"You're always ignoring me—it's making me lose face!"

At that moment, Ye Chen, like a troublemaker, blocked his path.

This guy was full of vigor, his vital energy rising instead of falling, surging wildly like burning flames. He charged like a wild beast, with the Ba Long Dao in his left hand and the Wu Huang Zhan Mao in his right, extremely ferocious.

Seeing Ye Chen, Yin Zhiping's anger flared up. Every critical moment, Ye Chen would interfere and disrupt him, which infuriated him to no end.

"Suppress for me!"

Yin Zhiping roared furiously, raising a palm to summon an illusory giant mountain that descended from the sky, immensely heavy and collapsing the void as soon as it appeared.

"Break for me!"

Ye Chen advanced undaunted, delivering a domineering punch that punched straight through the illusory mountain.

Boom! Bang! Rumble!

The two immediately clashed fiercely, creating a tremendous commotion.

On the other side, Ji Ningshuang had fully suppressed the backlash and returned to her peak state, her form like a ghost as she joined the battle, unleashing world-shaking divine abilities.

"Kill!"

Yin Zhiping roared, his powerful vital energy surging forth as he charged at Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang like a primordial giant dragon.

Boom! Bang! Rumble!

The battle erupted again, growing even more intense and brutal.

At that moment, even the domineering physique of the Huanggu Shengti and the terrifying recovery of the Xuanling Zhiti were covered in fresh blood.

Compared to Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang, Yin Zhiping looked even more disheveled, driven to madness by their coordinated attacks. Despite bearing the soul of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, he was still being suppressed.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Witnessing such a stunning epic battle, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "It's been a long time since we've seen such a masterful fight."

"The battle among the most brilliant young talents of Da Chu today will surely go down in history."

"The Godslayer Qin Yu, the Xuanling Zhiti Ji Ningshuang, and the 90% Host Yin Zhiping—one of them is destined to become the emperor of Da Chu in the future."

"In my view, it's most likely Yin Zhiping." An elder cultivator gently stroked his beard. "He's holding his own against both Qin Yu and Ji Ningshuang in single combat, truly deserving of his rank as the top on the Da Chu Fengyun List."

"That's what I think too." Almost everyone present shared this opinion.

However, their judgment might have a significant error.

It was true that Yin Zhiping was holding his own against Ye Chen and Ji Ningshuang, but only because Ye Chen hadn't gone all out. To conceal his identity, Ye Chen had been hiding his true strength from the start. If it were just him and Yin Zhiping, at peak power, he wouldn't be inferior to Yin Zhiping at all.

Most importantly, he wasn't yet a true Kongming realm cultivator, as he hadn't undergone the heavenly tribulation. After the tribulation's baptism, his combat power would reach an entirely different level.

Boom! Bang! Rumble!

The thunderous roars continued as the three fought while shifting their battlefield, leaving devastation in their wake—void shattered, mountains collapsed, rivers reversed, and vast plains cracked open.

"You have to admit, those two really do have a husband-and-wife vibe."

In the grand hall of Tianxuan Gate, Fu Ya watched the water screen and stroked his beard as he looked at Ji Ningshuang and Ye Chen, his smile a bit peculiar.

"Find a time to set them up properly."

Beside him, Donghuang Taixin casually adjusted her hair in a small mirror and said leisurely, "Their child might not surpass Xuanyuan Emperor, but at the very least, they'd be a eternal titan."

"Aren't you saying we shouldn't get involved in Da Chu's affairs?"

"I heard Da Chu has something called Huanxi San."

"Got it."
