Chapter 639 Ye Jie - Fierce Battle Against a Powerful Enemy

Sensing the change in Ye Jie's aura, Ashoka's expression darkened. He knew he couldn't let him continue like this, so he immediately launched a fierce attack.

"The wrath of the heavens!"

With a furious roar, Ashoka unleashed an unparalleled power from the iron pillar in his hand, tearing apart even space itself, and was about to blast Ye Jie in front of him into dust.

Ye Jie's expression remained unchanged. If it were before, he would have been worried about Ashoka's divine power, but now the situation has quietly changed. Relying on his own Daoist cultivation techniques, he has refined the Supreme Dao Scripture, and he has full confidence. Even the fierce Ashoka seems to be nothing more than this.

With a deafening roar, the sight before Ashoka caused his pupils to contract. The iron pillar, which had been so powerful that it could have deterred an army, was now frozen in place. Upon closer inspection, he saw a hand slowly rising, preventing the iron pillar from advancing any further.

Faced with a powerful attack capable of shattering the void, Ye Jie simply stretched out his hand and blocked it all. Not only that, the force did not disappear; on the contrary, it was all used by Ye Jie, constantly condensing within his body and then fusing with Ye Jie's own power, unleashing an even more powerful force and returning it all to Ashoka!
This caused Ashoka considerable distress. The force of his attack was so great that even he himself might not be able to withstand it, not to mention that it incorporated Ye Jie's understanding of the Great Dao, making the attack even more powerful and fiercer than before.

As a result of this counterattack, Ashoka was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater. The aftershocks caused hundreds of stupas to collapse before the situation finally came to a stop.

Compared to before, his expression became more solemn, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Jie was no longer the initial contempt; instead, it was filled with burning anger.

The damage to the ruins, coupled with his defeat at the hands of Ye Jie, whose strength was far inferior to his, made it difficult for him to suppress the anger in his heart. All kinds of supreme power began to emerge within his body.

"How dare you destroy the ruins like this! It's unforgivable! You forced me to use this move, Peacock True Form!"

With a roar from King Ashoka, extraordinary changes rapidly occurred from his divine body. His skin swelled continuously, and finally, his hands transformed into wings covered in feathers, and a long, dark green tail grew from his waist. His entire body transformed into a giant peacock.

The peacock's plumage is brightly colored, but not in a gaudy or flamboyant way. Instead, it is clear and bright, and if you look closely, you can see layers of precious light swirling around it, which is enough to show that this thing is extraordinary.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Jie's eyes lit up. When Ashoka revealed his true form, the rows of bright feathers on his back were exactly what Ye Jie needed right now!

This discovery also caused a burning desire to flash in Ye Jie's eyes. As long as he obtained the Mingwang Peacock Feather, his realm would rise by two levels, bringing him one step closer to becoming the strongest top immortal in the world. This Mingwang Peacock Feather was Ye Jie's main purpose in coming to this ruin. Now that it was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?
"Hand over the Peacock Feather of the Bright King and your insights on reincarnation, and I can assure you that the ruins will not be damaged, and you can still protect these pagodas. Otherwise, if you and I go all out, it's hard to say how many pagodas here will survive the aftermath of the battle."

Ye Jie spoke slowly, his tone conveying an unquestionable tone.

As he said, his all-out battle with King Ashoka involved a fierce fight at the ninth level. If he were not careful, the surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles would likely be razed to the ground. If they weren't inside the ruins, the aftershocks of the battle alone would be enough to flatten a large part of the continent. The power of a ninth-level immortal is indeed earth-shattering. Moreover, Ye Jie's current strength has not yet reached the peak of the ninth level. If immortals at that level were to fight at full strength, the four continents would likely be completely destroyed in an instant. For mortals, it would be an extremely dark calamity.

From Ashoka's actions, Ye Jie could also see his intention to protect the ruins. Any act that damaged the ruins would enrage him. He certainly did not want to see the things in the ruins destroyed. If they insisted on fighting, it was hard to say what would happen to the ruins.

Unfortunately, Ye Jie's persuasion could not change Ashoka's mind. His eyes burned with raging anger, and a monstrous killing intent burst forth from his body. The intense killing intent, which seemed to set the heavens ablaze, caused Ye Jie's expression to change slightly. He wondered how many people Ashoka had killed to possess such a fierce killing intent.

The emergence of murderous intent also meant one thing: Ashoka would never compromise with Ye Jie. At this moment, he only had one thing on his mind: to kill Ye Jie completely. How could he listen to Ye Jie's words?
In the distance, the gray-robed man stood solemnly. Caught between two top experts in battle, he was in extreme danger. Even a single collision could cause his soul to be scattered and plunge him into eternal damnation. However, his expression remained unchanged as he stood watching, preparing to take in the details of the battle.

Before the gray-robed man could react, Ashoka suddenly moved. His figure was as fast as lightning, like a fleeting glimpse of light, so fast that it was impossible to see his specific movements. All that could be seen was that the exquisite peacock feathers drew a magnificent rainbow in the air, followed by a fierce gust of wind that attacked Ye Jie.

"Well done!"

Ye Jie smiled faintly. If it were him just now, facing Ashoka's all-out attack, he would probably have died from this move without any chance to resist. But now, it seems that the Nine-Turn Immortal who once dominated an era is nothing more than this!

As Ye Jie's thoughts stirred, a black and white yin-yang wheel appeared before him. The black and white colors on the wheel were distinct yet perfectly blended together, outlining a pattern of two fish swimming side by side, containing a profound meaning of the Great Dao.

The Yin-Yang Wheel spun endlessly, and Ashoka's all-out attack struck the dark side. The thousands of layers of air waves that erupted were also blocked by the wheel. During this process, Ye Jie did not even take a step back.

After receiving this attack, an even more powerful aura, which even Ashoka sensed was somewhat dangerous, condensed within the phantom of the Wheel of Reincarnation.

"not good……"

Ashoka sensed something was wrong, but it was too late. A powerful force erupted from the pure white phantom and struck his body.

When the smoke cleared, the heavily injured King Ashoka collapsed to the side, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Ye Jie stood with his hands behind his back, and beside him, only a few clear feathers drifted down.
