Chapter 755: Void Dragon Claw, Appear!
This time, the technique that the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan demonstrated was something even Ye Feng hadn't anticipated. The art of freely converting between Yin and Yang was truly magical, managing to break free from the shackles of the Royal Authority Divine Seal. It was quite unbelievable.
In other words, the part of Cultivation Method and Martial Technique that this Elder from the Tai Jia Clan practiced could very likely have surpassed what was known to the Human Race in the Human Realm. Otherwise, no matter how he deployed his Technique, it should have been impossible to escape the bind of the Royal Authority Divine Seal.
After all, the Royal Authority Divine Seal naturally possessed a suppressive effect on anything within the Human Realm, ever since it was set into place by that Sovereign of the Human Race over two thousand years ago.
At this moment, the younger generation of the Hong Family that surrounded them became very excited and thrilled, believing that the battle was nearing its end and that next, Ye Feng, the kid, would inevitably have his head severed by a slash from the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan's Black Sword.
Even the Elder Buddhist of Buddhist Sect exclaimed, "He has escaped the qi lock of the Royal Authority Divine Seal, and since the Royal Authority Divine Seal has just suppressed the Yang Sword, it's basically impossible to summon it again. With that ragged Defensive Armor on Ye Feng's body, there's no way he can withstand that Black Sword!"
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect also said, "Enough, enough. We can't compare with the deep roots of the Ancient Hong Clan, which is an existence we cannot afford to offend. If anyone is to blame, it can only be Ye Feng himself for being too arrogant and flamboyant!"
"Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of geniuses and proud talents. However, very few of these gifted young people truly grow up. Most perish along the way, and a significant reason is that these geniuses feel too arrogant about their Talent and strength and fail to keep a low profile, thus inviting disaster upon themselves. Ye Feng here is an example of just that!"
That was spoken with a shake of the head by the cold, mocking voice of Elder Buddhist.
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect fell silent as the Black Yin Sword had already been thrust forward.
Since the Royal Authority Divine Seal had just suppressed the White Yang Sword, it was too late to use it again. In other words, Ye Feng was no longer able to call upon the Royal Authority Divine Seal. Even if he had some Spirit Essence left from burning his acupoints, it was too late to use it.
However, at this time, Ye Feng actually raised the corners of his mouth and even withdrew his Supreme Armor from his body.
Seeing this unfold, the younger generation of the Hong Family burst into laughter, "See that? Ye Feng has already withdrawn his armor. It looks like he's recognized the power of the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan's Black Sword and knows he can't resist it. Knowing he's bound to die, he simply gave up on defense and stopped struggling."
"Let him die, let the kid die!"
The younger generation of the Hong Family clamored all around, but at this moment, Ye Feng's slightly raised lips revealed a hint of mockery.
At this critical juncture, the Mental Power Nucleus within Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness suddenly began to spin rapidly to its limit, and surges of vast spiritual power burst forth.
Then, Ye Feng reached out his hand in an ordinary manner and grabbed at the air!
Those around were stunned and completely baffled, for with Ye Feng reaching out his hand like that, there was not the slightest sign of Spirit Essence, which seemed tantamount to seeking death.
Even the Elder Buddhist of Buddhist Sect couldn't help but sneer, "What is this kid doing, putting on some strange pose? Perhaps he wants to die in a particularly special way. Otherwise, why would he reach out one hand like this?"
However, the Holy Elder of Confucian Sect, who had been full of confusion, suddenly stood up with a very grave expression on his face.
"This hand he reached out without any Spirit Essence fluctuation, could it be the legendary… that kind of Martial Skill?" the Holy Elder of Confucian Sect murmured to himself.
"The legendary kind of Martial Skill? Which one?" Seeing the grave expression on the Holy Elder's face, the Elder Buddhist snorted, "Come now, Holy Elder, don't make such a fuss. That kid is already at the end of his wits, there's no way he still has any tricks up his sleeve..."
However, before the Elder Buddhist could finish speaking, a golden claw suddenly appeared in the Void. At first glance, the claw seemed to resemble the paw of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, but upon closer examination, it was not quite the same. It felt more like a fusion of a human hand and a dragon claw.
In the instant that the claw appeared, it grasped through the space, and the terrifyingly powerful Black Yin Sword was immediately seized in its grip.
Then, in a bizarre twist, the claw clenched forcefully, the Sword Qi of the Black Yin Sword dissipated instantly, and the sword was even bent as if about to break!
But at that moment, the claw seemed to exhaust its strength and was forced to release its grip!
Despite this, it was enough to horrify everyone present!
Especially for ancient and peerless powerhouses like the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan, along with the Holy Elder of Confucian Sect and the Elder Buddhist of Buddhist Sect, their faces were filled with shock and even fear.
Because just now, they felt a special kind of terrifying power from this claw, a power that was already enough to threaten and even annihilate them!
"This kid, this claw, what is the origin of its martial skills, this is too terrifying!" the Buddhist Sect Elder Buddha asked in utter shock.
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect stared wide-eyed at the claw in the void, and after a long while he murmured with a sigh, "Ye Feng is extraordinary, indeed. Our Xuanyuan Nation has produced a True Dragon, no, it should be said the Human Race has produced a True Dragon. No wonder Old Long chose this boy, he truly is exceptional. Now, our Human Race has finally seen hope."
However, the Buddhist Sect Elder Buddhist couldn't help but ask, "Sacred Elder, what is the origin of the martial skill that this boy just displayed?"
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect chuckled and said, "What exact martial skill it is, I cannot say for now. In short, it's a kind of martial skill that is more advanced than our Spirit Essence, or to put it another way, it's a higher level martial skill that most people in the Human Realm currently cannot touch upon."
The Buddhist Sect Elder Buddhist furrowed his two snow-white eyebrows, pondering, "Does this boy truly have such an immense talent?"
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect shook his head, smiling, "I am now convinced, and I have decided that from this day forward, I recognize this boy as the new leader of the Human Race. My Confucian Sect is willing to follow him and fight the Demon Horn Tribe under his command."
"So you mean to say, you are willing to follow him?" the Buddhist Sect Elder Buddhist asked with bulging eyes, still in disbelief.
"Yes, I am wholeheartedly willing; after all, he is a True Dragon. It is very possible that our Human Race will, because of him, step out of the Human Realm and walk among the Myriad Worlds of All Heavens. Of course, how far we can go in the end remains unknown, but for now, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the Human Realm should indeed be able to be safeguarded under his leadership!"
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect spoke leisurely, then suddenly his tone changed as he asked again, "What about you, Elder Buddha, are you also willing to acknowledge him as the new leader of the Human Race and follow him?"
The Buddhist Sect Elder Buddha fell into deep thought, and after a long time he replied, "I cannot make a decision now. After all, a true Leader of the Human Race must possess a grand vision and a broad mind. At the very least, when the Four Great Ancient Clans all acknowledge his position as the Leader of the Human Race, it will not be too late for me to join then!"
The Holy Elder of Confucian Sect nodded slightly and said no more; after all, each sect influence has its own ideas and considerations.
However, the Holy Elder of Confucian Sect thought to himself that Ye Feng's foundational power was not very strong at the moment, and he was in need of people and the support of forces. Thus, if a sect influence were willing to stand out now, they would certainly be greatly valued in the future, as they could be considered as having contributed from the beginning of his rise.
Of course, the Holy Elder of Confucian Sect did not voice these thoughts. Firstly, because over the years, his Confucian Sect and the Buddhist Sect had been competing for the position of leader among the Eight Sects, the Holy Elder of Confucian Sect vaguely felt that his choice this time was undoubtedly the correct one, and that it would also help his Confucian Sect influence to completely surpass the Buddhist Sect.
Meanwhile, the surrounding members of the Hong Family's younger generation were all equally shocked and rooted to the spot.
Hong Wuji was petrified, constantly muttering, "How is this possible, how can it be possible, that even the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Twin Swords of the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan can't kill this Ye fellow, how can this be possible!"
The Elders of the Tai Yi and Tai Bing clans also had extremely ugly expressions on their faces, as they naturally knew that the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Twin Swords were their big brother's final trump card. If even these could not take down the opponent, then the Ancient Hong Clan was truly doomed this day.
At this moment, the array barrier had been destroyed by the powerful residual energy, almost to the point of disintegration, but Ye Feng did not flee, nor did he need to!
He still hovered in mid-air, his long black hair that had grown over the past years fluttering in the wind, giving him an indescribable sense of elegance and detachment.
On the opposite side was the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan, it was evident that his expression had become extremely grim, and his aura was somewhat chaotic. When Ye Feng forcibly scattered the Sword Qi of his Black Sword, his own body had been shaken as well, and even channeling his Spirit Essence had become somewhat difficult.
Ye Feng slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, and sneered, "How about it, Elder of the Tai Jia Clan, what else do you have to say now?"
When he said this, Ye Feng's tone was filled with thick mockery.
If the Ancient Hong Clan had welcomed Ye Feng as a son-in-law with open arms and in good spirits, it would not have come to this point. However, because of Hong Qingyan's bloodline inheritance, they insisted on dealing him a fatal blow, so he could not be blamed for the outcome.
The Elder of the Tai Jia Clan's eyes twitched continuously, as he forcefully suppressed the restless aura in his body and bellowed through clenched teeth, "Ye, I have to admit, you are very strong, indeed very powerful. At less than thirty years of age, you have cultivated to such a level that you can contend with a peerless powerhouse in the Half-Step Void Realm; this really shocks me!"
However, as he said this, the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan's face suddenly darkened, and his tone shifted, as he declared, "But do you really think that this battle is over? Do you really believe I have run out of tricks? If you think like that, then you are greatly mistaken!"
Having said that, the Elder of the Tai Jia Clan made swift hand seals, the Twin Yin-Yang Divine Swords swiftly returned to him, and then under the driving of the Seal Technique, the Twin Yin-Yang Divine Swords spun at high speed and began to merge with each other.
After that, a Tai Chi Yin-Yang Diagram brimming with the power to destroy heaven and earth suddenly appeared!
