Chapter 394 Decisive Battle to the Death!
```
True God's Power?!
The words of the dying late-stage Celestial Saint had completely terrified another mid-stage Celestial Saint young man.
And in the next moment, the spot where the Three-Eyed Skeleton appeared in an instant was right before this mid-stage Celestial Saint youth.
Similarly, from the third eye, a peerless crystal white light burst forth, and the youth, who possessed a formidable green basket magical treasure and a green belt magical treasure, could no longer withstand the entity unleashing the full might of a True God—the Three-Eyed Skeleton—and was struck dead by the radiant divine light.
The only one left in the arena was Ye Chen!
Ye Chen hadn't expected the Three-Eyed Skeleton to strike with such speed, killing two people in the blink of an eye.
As the physically strong late-stage Celestial Saint uttered "True God's Power", from within Ye Chen's Ice Snow Jade Medallion, Bing Shiyi also called out to Ye Chen, "True God's Power, Lord Ye Chen, this Three-Eyed Skeleton is a Void Sky True God!"
Bing Shiyi immediately deduced, "He is not just a common Void Sky True God; his peak strength has likely reached that of a Four Tribulations True God!"
"Lord Ye Chen, your two True God Talismans were crafted by the Five Tribulations True Phoenix and the Three Tribulations Mu Lan. If True Phoenix herself were here, she would certainly be able to slay this foe."
"But with only two talismans, the greatest power they can exert is that of a Three Tribulations True God. Even if this Three-Eyed Skeleton isn't at its peak strength, it's very possible that it would still be unmatched."
"Under such circumstances, only if all of us guardians fight to the death against it, coupled with the two talismans, might there be a chance to survive this dire situation!"
In the instant Bing Shiyi spoke, it could no longer wait for Ye Chen's command.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bing Shiyi, leading the other seven guardians, along with the already present Bing Shisan, all positioned themselves in front of Ye Chen.
In this life-and-death crisis, all nine frigid guardians mobilized.
To fulfill their promise to the deputy lord of the Minor Spirit Realm, they were determined to protect Ye Chen until the very last moment!
Hearing Bing Shiyi's words and seeing the nine frigid guardians standing in front of him, Ye Chen also took a deep breath.
He hadn't anticipated facing such a situation.
This was only the second mountain, and yet here, in the heart of it, they encountered a Four Tribulations True God?
No wonder this person could remain fearless within the ancient forbidden lands, unaffected by the spatial tempests capable of slaying even a One Tribulation True God; his strength had actually reached the level of a Four Tribulations True God!
Not only had Ye Chen not considered this possibility, but likely none of the numerous adventurers who came to the Five Elements Mountain, including the peak existences of the various continents who organized these excursions, had anticipated such a being within the Five Elements Mountain either.
If they truly knew, Palace Master Yuan Li would not have allowed Ye Chen to take this risk.
If they truly knew, Jiang Yao would have done more than just procure True Phoenix and Mu Lan's True God Talismans for Ye Chen. If Ye Chen had been adamant about going to the Five Elements Mountain, Jiang Yao would certainly have arranged for True Phoenix herself to protect Ye Chen!
But now, it was a situation that couldn't be solved simply because it wasn't expected.
Unexpected events are inevitable on the path of a martial artist's cultivation; even the most comprehensive preparations can never address everything.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Chen, whose mind had cleared considerably upon seeing the corpse of the mid-stage Celestial Saint youth, knew more than ever what needed to be done.
Previously, he had been somewhat shocked.
But now, faced with this truly unsolvable life-and-death crisis, Ye Chen's mind was clearer than ever, and he knew exactly what he had to do.
"If that's the case, then let's fight with all we've got!"
Boom!
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen began to burn the talisman given to him by True Phoenix.
As the talisman burned, an astonishing True God level power began to surge towards Ye Chen, and with the blessing of True God level power, Ye Chen soared into the sky, flying in front of the nine frigid guardians.
The nine frigid guardians had sworn to protect him with their lives, so how could he hide behind them?
Even in a battle to the death, he would fight alongside them!
Right as Ye Chen's True God Talisman burned and the divine power erupted, the Three-Eyed Skeleton had just slain the mid-stage Celestial Saint youth.
Feeling the overwhelming True God's Power unleashed from Ye Chen and seeing the nine frigid guardians suddenly beside Ye Chen, the Three-Eyed Skeleton also looked at Ye Chen in unexpected interest.
"Young lad, indeed, you have made me take another look."
"Previously, with your early stage Revolving Core realm, surviving the attack from Gold Needle Bees and myself already piqued my interest. And now, you carry with you nine helpers at the level of late-stage Celestial Saints."
The gaze of the Three-Eyed Skeleton swept over the nine frigid guardians, finally resting on the massive form of the snowy great roc Bing Shiyi: "These behemoths do not seem to be from the thirty-three continents, nor even from the Minor Spirit Realm. I have never seen such creatures. Young lad, from where did you obtain these beasts?"
```
"Furthermore, you actually possess True God Talisman of Void Sky True God level that can provide you with True God's Power? Judging by the level of this True God's Power, the one who crafted your True God Talisman must be at least a Five Tribulations True God!"
"Young lad, you really have so many secrets!"
By the end, the look in the Three-Eyed Skeleton's eyes had turned sharp.
"There's no need for so much talk," Ye Chen's voice had become utterly calm, "Since you want to kill us all, then make your move."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Ye Chen spoke, the 369 five-aperture revolving pills in his sea of qi, which he had been cultivating recently, all began to vibrate. The boundless power of his true qi began to rise around his body, reinforcing the vast True God's Power.
Seeing Ye Chen's actions and hearing his words, the Three-Eyed Skeleton let out a rare and hearty laugh: "Good, a young man with such decisiveness!"
"If it were not for the blood vengeance I carry, this time, I would have let you go. But the stronger you are, the less I can afford to let you go, for the sake of my vengeance."
"I need to refine three body avatars, and your body will definitely make an excellent main avatar!"
"Though I am not completely certain I can kill you, if I can't even take you down, how am I to kill that beast! Therefore, use yourself to test the extent of my current strength recovery!"
While the Three-Eyed Skeleton spoke, it released all its strength for the first time at once.
Its power was all at True God level!
Once this force was released, the Five Elements Law within the forbidden grounds space all shattered and merged into the spanning divine power of the Three-Eyed Skeleton.
On one side was the Three-Eyed Skeleton, completely unleashing its power and wildly gathering True God's Power.
On the other side, Ye Chen was also fully unleashing all his power, with both the power of the five-aperture revolving pills and the True God Talisman sweeping through the skies.
And the nine great Ice Sealed Guardians beside Ye Chen were also enhancing all their combat power.
The next moment, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, Ye Chen, and the nine great Ice Sealed Guardians instantly flashed and directly clashed in the void!
This Three-Eyed Skeleton was of the Void Sky True God level.
Even the strongest among the nine great Ice Sealed Guardians, Bing Shiyi, could not withstand it, so naturally, Ye Chen wouldn't let the nine guardians take the brunt of it. He alone took on ninety percent of the Three-Eyed Skeleton's attacks!
The nine great Ice Sealed Guardians also ignited their full combat power and launched their strongest attacks beside Ye Chen.
The entire heaven and earth seemed to be on the verge of tearing apart!
Were it not for this forbidden land being as mysterious as the Five Elements Mountain itself, it is likely this astonishing battle would have directly destroyed this entire forbidden land!
In the void!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ye Chen, who had clashed instantly with the Three-Eyed Skeleton, was a Four Tribulations True God whose strength had been somewhat diminished, whereas the Three-Eyed Skeleton, with a True God Talisman crafted by a Five Tribulations True God, had a combat power equivalent to a Three Tribulations True God, so no superiority had been established between the two.
As the battle unfolded, both Ye Chen and the Three-Eyed Skeleton, as well as the nine great Ice Sealed Guardians, kept getting injured.
But the more they were injured, the more intense the battle became.
Towards the end, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, which suddenly pulled back, had even begun to accumulate a golden killing divine light in its third eye, never used before!
Ye Chen, on the other hand, was no longer holding back at all. He knew the True God Talisman, even if refined by a Five Tribulations True God, True Phoenix, couldn't provide an endless supply of combat power.
He had to kill the Three-Eyed Skeleton while he still could reinforce his power!
In terms of combat skill, Ye Chen's five great divine arts were not yet perfected, and he certainly couldn't compare with the battle techniques of True God level Three-Eyed Skeleton, but Ye Chen had many divine arts and strategies!
Toward the end, Ye Chen even took out his still-recovering personal flying sword "Crimson Fire", not only utilizing all five great divine arts of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but on the other hand, he also began to enhance his "Crimson Fire" with the third layer sword techniques divine art from the "North Dark Secret Tome", the Great Five Elements Sword Light!
As he prepared to launch the Great Five Elements Sword Light, he was also ready to damage his personal flying sword once more!
Both sides unleashed their combat power to its limits, and the next contact would be earth-shattering.
It could even result in a life-and-death confrontation!
And in this moment, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, with a golden killing divine light gathered in its third eye, had already conceived the final deadly thought to kill Ye Chen.
As this thought crossed its mind, it gave Ye Chen one last look.
In this look, it saw beside Ye Chen, the nine guardians showing a resolute expression, and also Ye Chen himself with a similar resolute expression.
And saw the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art shining on Ye Chen's "Crimson Fire" flying sword!
The moment it saw the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art, the entire eye of the Three-Eyed Skeleton filled with an incredulous look.
