Chapter 1553 Defying The Heavenly Dao
Chapter 1553: Defying The Heavenly Dao Chapter 1553: Defying The Heavenly Dao Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the blink of an eye, the sword qi rushed towards the Grand Elder. When the sword qi was only one centimeter away from the Grand Elder’s body, he fled frantically. He knew very well that once the sword qi pierced his body, he would die without a doubt! “Ye Chen, you b*stard!” When the Grand Elder saw that Ye Chen was less than a meter away from him, he almost fainted from anger. “Look at the sky!” Ye Chen’s words made the Grand Elder look up subconsciously. He saw that the sword qi was already surging toward him. The Grand Elder spat out a mouthful of blood essence. With a wave of his hand, he took out all of his Dao Integration-grade artifacts and Primordial Chaos-grade artifacts to resist the world-destroying power of the sword qi. His blood essence condensed into a blood-red shield, but it weakened him greatly. Bang! Boom! The shield condensed from his blood essence only lasted for less than ten breaths of time before the Primordial Chaos-grade and Dao Integration-grade artifacts suddenly exploded. “Argh!” The Grand Elder roared angrily and cut open the flesh on his arm. The blood that flowed out condensed into threads of blood that continuously wrapped around his body. Boom! The power of the sword qi collided with the Grand Elder’s blood threads. They shattered instantly, but he successfully blocked the eighth lightning strike. The Grand Elder was panting weakly in the sky. There was a hideous wound on his arm that was bleeding non-stop. As for Ye Chen, he had already hid behind the Grand Elder again when the lightning strike landed. “Little b*stard, just you wait!” The Grand Elder turned to look at Ye Chen and fled in a flash. At this moment, he did not want to stay here for even a moment longer. The Grand Elder did not dare to take the last lightning strike head-on. He was afraid that if he stuck around until the ninth strike descended, he would die. “Isn’t it too late to run now?” Ye Chen’s expression was cold. This was his best opportunity to kill the Grand Elder. He had killed many people from the Dugu family anyway, so adding one more to the list was not a big deal, especially after what they had done to him. Moreover, if the Grand Elder escaped, Ji Lin’s Innate Poison Body would become known to the world. Therefore, today, no matter what price he had to pay, he had to get rid of this old fellow! “Spacetime Sword technique!” “Frost Sword technique!” Ye Chen held two swords in his hands and two different forces emanated from his body. The Grand Elder frowned when he saw this. Normally, Ye Chen would not have been a threat to him. However, he was now heavily injured and could only exert one-tenth of his full strength. The two different types of sword qi rushed toward the Grand Elder, and a sense of fatal danger engulfed him. The Grand Elder gritted his teeth and burned a drop of blood essence as he used an escape technique. The Grand Elder fled very quickly, but unfortunately, the sword qi cut off one of his arms, and also pierced his chest. No one knew if he was dead or alive. Ye Chen frowned. He did not expect the Grand Elder to be able to use a powerful escape technique at such a critical moment. Was that old fellow still alive? If it was not for the fact that Ji Lin’s Heavenly Tribulation had yet to conclude, he would have given chase and eliminated the Grand Elder. Weng! Weng! Weng! The entire sky buzzed as dark clouds covered the sky. At this moment, there was no light at all. The figure that had materialized in the sky had long disappeared, but the aura that permeated the air was so oppressive that Ye Chen could barely breathe. This final lightning strike was also the most terrifying one! “Disciple, this lightning strike…” Xiao Yao did not continue, but his meaning was self-evident. “I understand!” Ye Chen smiled bitterly and took a deep breath. This time, he was probably doomed. Even so, Ye Chen did not flee. He knew that if he did, Ji Lin would die without a doubt. “Ye Chen, is it worth it?” At this moment, Xiao Yao spoke again. “It’s worth it,” Ye Chen muttered. If he did not risk his life for the people he cared about, who would he risk his life for instead? He had experienced countless life and death situations. If he abandoned Ji Lin today, it would affect his Dao heart in the future. Behind Ye Chen, the five Daos appeared. In the sky, the terrifying pressure grew stronger and stronger, causing Ye Chen’s legs to buckle slightly. He had a ferocious expression on his face as he endured the pain. His bones were cracking. In the sky, nine thunder dragons appeared. They were 10,000 feet tall and were pulling a palace across the sky. A man who was manifested by the Heavenly Dao stood inside the palace. “The Innate Poison Body should not exist in the human world. It should be destroyed!” The man shouted angrily, and the sky exploded. The man’s words represented the Heavenly Dao’s stance! The Heavenly Dao held the power of life and death. No matter who it was, they were like ants in front of the Heavenly Dao. “If I want her to live, no one can kill her, not even the Heavenly Dao!” Ye Chen spoke calmly, but there was an unwavering confidence in his tone. “Impudent!” The wind around them roared and raindrops fell like crazy, beating against Ye Chen’s face. Puchi! Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs had suffered damage. His swords were stuck in the ground, and he was half-kneeling, his eyes fixed on the man in the sky. “Heavenly Dao? So what? I want to surpass the Heavenly Dao!” Ye Chen smiled as he said this. He was not afraid of the Heavenly Dao. “Ridiculous!” The man smiled instead of getting angry. He waved his hand and a pitch-black pupil appeared in the sky. Ye Chen’s eyes had not opened yet, but he could sense that it had incredible destructive power. “Today, on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, I will judge the owner of the Innate Poison Body. Annihilation Demon Eye, open!” The eye slowly opened, and the world-destroying power attacked Ye Chen’s body. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen’s entire body was covered in blood. Ye Chen hugged Ji Lin tightly, not wanting her to get hurt in the slightest. “Ye Chen…Hurry up and leave…” At this moment, Ji Lin opened her eyes weakly. Although she had been unconscious during this period of time, she could sense everything outside. Ji Lin’s eyes were filled with tears. She had stepped into the Lingwu Continent to look for Ye Chen, but who knew that she would bring him so much trouble? “Don’t worry, if I’m here, you’re safe!”
