Chapter 1133 The Person Hidden in the Ring

Everyone couldn't help but stagger back, their feet gripping the ground tightly, just barely avoiding being knocked over by the vibration. There was only one thought left in their minds - is the world going to collapse?

The faces of the three masters at the peak of the Divine Emperor level, the Divine Wind Patriarch, the White Feather Patriarch and the Cloud Crane Tower Master, instantly turned as pale as paper.

They originally had doubts in their eyes, but now they were filled with extreme fear. The immortal energy in their bodies was running wildly and uncontrollably, trying to withstand the impact of the shaking of the heaven and earth, but their bodies still trembled uncontrollably.

"This... what kind of power is this?"

Patriarch Baiyu's voice trembled as he stared at the direction of Young Master Shangguan, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had seen countless duels between masters, but had never felt such terrifying power. This was beyond the scope of "strong" and was completely a mighty power that belonged to the rules of heaven and earth!

The owner of Yunhe Tower clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

The shaking of heaven and earth caused by this force alone was too much for him, a peak-level Divine Emperor, to bear.

It is conceivable what kind of impact Master Shangguan will face when facing this force.

And in the center of this shaking world, that unimaginable powerful force, without the slightest deviation, descended on the golden protective shield around Master Shangguan with incredible precision!

The moment of contact, the golden protective shield trembled violently, and the originally dazzling light dimmed a little, and the lines flowing on the surface also stopped briefly.

Immediately afterwards, the protective shield began to fluctuate violently, like the surface of a lake being battered by a violent storm. The golden light film kept sinking and bulging, making a "sizzling" sound, as if it would shatter in the next second.

The mocking smile on Master Shangguan's face froze instantly, replaced by extreme panic.

He could clearly feel the huge impact force coming from the protective shield. The force was like an invisible mountain, pressing down hard on him, causing the immortal power in his body to become disordered instantly. His throat felt sweet and he almost vomited blood.

The protective shield he had originally thought was indestructible now seemed like fragile glass, ready to shatter at any moment. This completely panicked him, and he frantically injected immortal energy into the shield, roaring, "Impossible! This is impossible! How could the Holy Emperor's weapon not be able to block it!"

But no matter how much immortal power he injected, the fluctuations of the protective shield became more and more violent, and the golden light became dimmer and dimmer.

Even tiny cracks began to appear on the surface, and the lines containing the great principles of heaven and earth began to twist and break under the impact of this great force.

The people around were already stunned. The previous voices of doubt disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sound of gasps.

They looked at the protective shield that was constantly fluctuating and on the verge of breaking, and then looked at Ye Chen who was still standing there with a calm expression. There was only one thought left in their minds: It turned out that he was not overestimating his own abilities. This casual touch could actually trigger such a terrifying power of heaven and earth!

The heaven and earth were still shaking, the cracks in the protective shield were getting bigger and bigger, and the golden light was getting weaker and weaker. Everyone held their breath and stared at the scene in front of them.

The outcome of this contest seems to be about to be revealed.

Inside the light shield emitting a soft, pale golden glow, Master Shangguan's heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, pressing tightly against his throat, causing even his breathing to become sluggish.

His pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at the surface of the light shield.

The shield that was once as clear as glass was now covered with spider-web-like cracks, and the edges of the cracks were emitting fine silver light.

Every time it cracked, there was a crisp "click, click" sound, as if it would completely shatter in the next second.

Fear was like an icy poisonous snake, crawling up his spine and making his fingertips numb. His back was already soaked with cold sweat, and the sticky fabric of his clothes stuck to his skin, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Impossible! This is a life-saving magic weapon specially made for me by our ancestors, who spent a lot of precious materials and energy! Not to mention withstanding the full force of a peak Divine Emperor, even an attack from a Chaos Saint Emperor can withstand it for three hours!!!"

He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, and bright red blood beads slid down between his fingers.

But he didn't feel any pain at all, only disbelief surging in his chest.

No one knew the defensive capabilities of this treasure better than him.

During the family's ancestor worship ceremony, he personally witnessed a Chaos Saint Emperor elder bombarding the light shield with the power of the origin, but the light shield only caused a few ripples and did not even leave a shallow mark.

This is definitely a top-notch defensive treasure, and it is also the reason why he dares to be arrogant and domineering in front of Ye Chen.

But now, Ye Chen just raised his right hand, slightly bent his slender fingers, with a faint halo on his fingertips, and gently tapped on the light shield.

With just this seemingly trivial action, the light shield was like porcelain hit by a sledgehammer, and cracks spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pale golden light also began to flicker, and was obviously in a shaky state.

"He's definitely the Chaos Saint Emperor! But even if he's the Chaos Saint Emperor, he shouldn't have just used one finger to bring my protective treasure to the brink of shattering!!!"

Master Shangguan's voice was filled with tears, and he almost cried out in fear.

He was shaking uncontrollably, his teeth were chattering, his face was as pale as a piece of rice paper, even his lips had lost their color, his vision was blackening, and he felt like he was going to faint in the next second.

Faced with this devastating crisis, he could only stand there, without even the courage to mobilize his spiritual power, and could do nothing!

Not long after, a loud "bang" shook the heaven and earth, and the light shield shattered!

Countless fragments of pale golden light drew brief arcs in the air like shattered stars, and then gathered into a fiery shock wave. With the explosion point as the center, it was like an expanding golden sphere, rushing out indiscriminately in all directions with the sound of whistling wind.

Wherever it passed, the air was burned and distorted, and even the clouds in the distance were shaken and scattered.

This light golden shock wave was extremely powerful, but to Ye Chen, it was like a tickle.

He still stood with his hands behind his back, and the light golden energy blew through his robe, causing his sleeves to sway slightly a few times.

It was like being blown by a gentle spring breeze, not even his hair fluttered at all. This energy had no effect on him.

However, for the other people watching around, this energy is not so easy to deal with.

"Go quickly!!!"

The face of the Yunhe Tower Master suddenly changed. The first time he reacted, he shouted, his voice full of urgency.

Before he finished speaking, his body turned into a shadow and merged into the void beside him, leaving only a shallow ripple in space as he rushed away into the distance.

His instinct for survival made him want to escape from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

The same is true for the Shenfeng Patriarch and the Baiyu Patriarch.

The beard of the old man Shenfeng stood up and his face was slightly stiff. He could clearly feel the breath of destruction from the explosive energy. The scorching power seemed to burn all his immortal power to ashes!

Ancestor Bai Yu clenched the white feather fan in his hand tightly, and the spiritual light on the fan became dim. He had only one thought in his mind: if he was swept by this energy, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die!

Therefore, they immediately activated their lifelong cultivation, merged into the void, transformed into two streams of light, and left the explosion range as quickly as possible.

Many masters around were so frightened that they screamed. Some of them used their defensive magic weapons in a panic, but the residual power of the shock wave made the magic weapons buzz.

Some people directly used their fastest body movements, some stepped on flying swords, and some summoned spiritual birds. Like a frightened rabbit, they tried their best to stay away from this place of trouble, without even the courage to look back.

Those who are strong can still barely escape, but those monks with weaker strength cannot escape even if they want to.

They were locked in the shock wave's air waves, their feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. They could only open their eyes wide in horror, watching the golden energy whistling towards them, their faces filled with despair, but they were powerless to do anything.

"Dead!!!"

This was the thought that came to mind simultaneously among all the trapped people.

With their strength, they could not withstand the energy impact of the explosion at all and could only watch death approach.

But the strange thing is that just when they closed their eyes and thought in despair that they were going to die.

Another gentle yet powerful wave slowly spread out from Ye Chen's hand.

It was a light blue halo, like ripples on a calm lake, gently colliding with the explosive golden energy.

There was no earth-shaking sound, only the moment the two energies came into contact, the golden shock wave disappeared in an instant like a flame submerged by the tide, without even a trace of aftermath.

“Saved?!”

Everyone was prepared to die, but they were accidentally saved at the last moment.

They were stunned for a few seconds, their eyes filled with confusion, and then they realized that they were still alive, and suddenly burst into loud cheers.

Some people were so excited that tears filled their eyes, some collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath, and some kept patting their chests to calm their pounding hearts.

Every gaze fell on Ye Chen at the same time, their eyes full of gratitude.

Although, they had some objections to Ye Chen's plan to kill Young Master Shangguan before, thinking it was too impulsive.

But no matter what, this seemingly young monk saved their lives at the critical moment!

Because of this, they had a better impression of Ye Chen, and their previous doubts disappeared.

At this moment, high in the sky, apart from Ye Chen who was still standing tall and calm, there was only Master Shangguan who was trembling all over and looking terrified.

His protective treasure was his greatest reliance and his last source of confidence, but it was easily broken by Ye Chen.

He looked at Ye Chen's back, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear. He couldn't even stand steadily and could only rely on his remaining immortal power to barely float in the air.

“You…you…”

Young Master Shangguan stared at Ye Chen intently, his eyes bloodshot from excessive fear, and his originally handsome face was now distorted beyond recognition.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to bring up his family's name as before and say some tough words of threat or warning.

But his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and the sound was stuck in his throat. He could only utter the word "you" intermittently. He stuttered for a long time but could not form a complete sentence.

His fingers were trembling unconsciously, and there were still blood stains in the cracks of his nails from when he clenched his fists, which now glowed a glaring red in the sunlight.

Use family background to pressure him?

As soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Master Shangguan himself.

Before the light barrier was broken, he had already clearly described the power of the Shangguan family and the title of the Chaos Saint Emperor in the family by counting on his fingers.

If Ye Chen was really afraid, he should have restrained his aura at that time. How could he wait until the light shield was broken and he was unable to fight back before he became afraid?

He knew clearly in his heart that this trick had long been useless.

At the moment, apart from his family background, he really has no bargaining chips to offer.

The protective magic weapon was broken, and most of his immortal power was consumed in the explosion just now. Even the guards who usually followed him were all killed.

This young man, who had been spoiled under the protection of his family since childhood, tasted the feeling of being isolated and helpless for the first time.

Looking at Ye Chen's calm eyes, he felt an indescribable fear rising from the soles of his feet, spreading along his limbs and bones to his whole body, even his bones were chilled.

It was the first time he experienced despair.

It's like falling into a bottomless ice cave. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't grab a straw to save your life.

But in Ye Chen's eyes, this Master Shangguan was nothing more than a clown from beginning to end.

From his arrogant and domineering provocation at the beginning to his trembling with fear after the light shield was shattered, all his reactions were childish and ridiculous, and he could not bear them at all.

Ye Chen didn't even look at him straight in the eye. A faint trace of immortal power had already gathered at his fingertips, intending to end this farce like crushing an annoying ant.

Just when the immortal power was about to leave his body, Ye Chen suddenly raised his brows and let out a light "Huh".

He looked over Master Shangguan's shoulder and to his side, and his originally indifferent eyes were filled with a subtle inquiry.

Because he clearly felt that a very powerful aura was appearing out of nowhere without any warning.

The aura carried an ancient pressure. Although it was still very weak, it was like a dormant giant beast, faintly revealing a power that should not be underestimated.

Following Ye Chen's gaze, he saw a faint golden light coming out from the cracked ring on the ring finger of Master Shangguan's left hand.

The ring was originally a life-saving magic weapon given to him by the Shangguan family. When the light shield was broken before, the ring itself also shattered. Now the cracks are deeper, as if it will completely shatter at any time.

And that light golden power, at first, was just a few wisps of thin smoke, slowly floating out from the cracks in the ring, swaying gently in the air, circling as if it had life.

The sunlight filtered through the smoke, refracting tiny golden rays that fell on Master Shangguan's pale face, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
