Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Ye Chen - A Divine Transformation Cultivator?

Long Tianyun's sneer deepened. "Spare me?" He laughed, a cruel, mocking sound. "I'll carve you to pieces before you get the chance! You'll die by my hand!"

Both combatants charged forward, their swords raised high, ready to end the battle in one final, decisive clash. The ground beneath their feet cracked and crumbled, the force of their spiritual power turning the forest into a wasteland. Their auras blazed like twin suns, one of azure flames, the other of dark shadows, each determined to destroy the other.

"Dragon's Wrath—Final Strike!" Ye Chen roared, his voice echoing through the shattered forest. His sword burned with the full power of his Heavenly Dragon Physique, the image of a massive azure dragon coiling around him, roaring with unstoppable might.

"Celestial Demonic Slash!" Long Tianyun bellowed, his blade crackling with demonic energy, shadows swirling around him like a vortex of death. His body was surrounded by the howling spirits of fallen demons, their voices screaming for destruction.

The two swords collided, and the world seemed to hold its breath. A blinding explosion of light and shadow filled the sky, shaking the heavens and sending tremors through the earth. The sheer force of their final attacks tore through the land, uprooting trees, shattering rocks, and leveling everything in their path.

The heavens themselves seemed to tremble, the sky lit up with brilliant blue and ominous black flames, both forces vying for supremacy. The shockwave from their clash could be felt for miles, rippling outward with the power to destroy anything in its path.

Neither Ye Chen nor Long Tianyun was willing to back down. Their eyes burned with determination and hatred. The ground beneath them was scorched, the air heavy with the scent of burning energy.

"I'll kill you!" Long Tianyun growled, his face twisted with rage and pain. His body trembled from the strain of his demonic energy, but his pride and fury kept him going.

Long Tianyun sneered, sensing Ye Chen's fatigue. "You're finished." With a roar, he surged forward, his demonic blade glowing with dark energy. His strikes were brutal and relentless, each one sending shockwaves through the ground as he pressed Ye Chen back, overwhelming him with sheer power.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, struggling to block each attack. His movements were slowing, his body struggling to keep up. Each clash of their swords sent jolts of pain through his arms, and he could feel his energy waning. "Damn it…!" he muttered under his breath, frustration and desperation mixing in his mind.

"You can't win, Ye Chen!" Long Tianyun's voice echoed through the battlefield, filled with confidence and disdain. "You're nothing compared to me!" With a powerful swing, he sent Ye Chen flying backward, crashing into a jagged rock formation.

Ye Chen coughed up blood, his vision blurring for a moment. The pain was intense, but it wasn't just physical—it was the realization that he was about to lose. Long Tianyun was too strong, and at this rate, he wouldn't last much longer.

But deep within him, something stirred. A fire that refused to die.

"I can't let it end here," Ye Chen muttered to himself, his hand gripping his sword tightly.

Ye Chen's body trembled, pain shooting through every fiber of his being. Long Tianyun stood above him, a wicked sneer twisting his bloodied face, the dark aura of his demonic energy swirling around him like a storm.

"You're going to die, Ye Chen," Long Tianyun snarled, his voice thick with contempt. "You've fought well… but in the end, you're still beneath me." He raised his blade high, the dark energy crackling along its edge as he prepared to deliver the final strike.

But Ye Chen wasn't done yet.

With every breath, his chest heaved in pain, but deep inside, a fire had begun to burn— the fire of his essence. He had one last option, a technique he had hoped to never use, for it came at a great cost. But this was no time for hesitation.

His vision blurred momentarily, and his mind raced. "If I don't use it, I'm dead. But if I burn my essence, I can take him down with me." The weight of the decision hung heavily on him, but he had no choice.

Ye Chen's eyes snapped open, their azure glow burning brighter than ever before. His grip on his sword tightened, and he centered himself, focusing on the power within his core. His essence—the very life force that sustained him—began to surge.

"I won't die here." His voice was low, but filled with resolve.

Long Tianyun paused, sensing something shift in the air. He narrowed his eyes, glaring down at Ye Chen. "What is this?" he muttered. A sudden pressure began to fill the air, and the dark sneer on his face faltered. "What are you doing, Ye Chen?"

Then, it happened.

An eruption of energy surged from Ye Chen's body, a massive wave of blue flames expanding outward, pushing Long Tianyun back. The ground beneath Ye Chen cracked and shattered, the sheer force of his aura sending shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.

"What the…?!" Long Tianyun took a step back, his eyes widening in shock. The pressure bearing down on him was suffocating, far stronger than anything Ye Chen had shown before.

Ye Chen's essence had ignited. His body glowed with an ethereal blue light, his aura expanding rapidly, filling the entire battlefield with an overwhelming presence. His cultivation skyrocketed, pushing past the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Divine Transformation…" Ye Chen whispered to himself, feeling the immense surge of power coursing through his veins. He could feel it—the strength of the Divine Transformation First Stage. His body was brimming with energy, and every movement he made seemed to shake the very earth beneath him.

The pain he had felt moments before was now replaced with an intoxicating sense of power. His sword blazed with azure flames, more radiant and powerful than ever before, and the fiery dragon around him roared, its body coiling tighter as its flames intensified.

Long Tianyun's eyes widened further, disbelief flickering across his face. "Impossible! You were barely holding on moments ago—how did your cultivation rise to this level?!"

Ye Chen's voice was cold and filled with lethal intent. "You don't get it, do you, Long Tianyun? I'm not like you. I've always fought with everything I have, and if that means burning my very essence to kill you, so be it."

Long Tianyun gritted his teeth, his expression darkening. "Burning your essence?" he sneered, though his voice wavered slightly. "You're insane, Ye Chen! You might kill me, but you'll cripple yourself in the process!"

Ye Chen's eyes burned with determination. "That doesn't matter. All that matters is that you fall first."

Without any warning, Ye Chen moved.

The ground beneath him shattered as he shot forward with blinding speed, his sword a blazing blur of azure flames. Long Tianyun barely had time to react as Ye Chen's blade cut through the air, aiming directly for his chest.

Clang!

Their swords met in a violent clash, the force of the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the battlefield. Long Tianyun staggered back, his arms trembling from the sheer force behind Ye Chen's strike. The power difference was undeniable.

"This… this can't be!" Long Tianyun shouted, his voice laced with panic. He struggled to hold his ground, but Ye Chen was relentless. His strikes came faster, more powerful, each one pushing Long Tianyun further back.

"You're not the only one with hidden power," Ye Chen growled, his voice cold as he unleashed another devastating strike. His azure flames surged forward, wrapping around Long Tianyun's demonic blade and pressing down with immense force.

Long Tianyun grunted in pain, his body trembling under the pressure. "You think… you can defeat me… just because you've burned your essence?" he spat, though his confidence was wavering. "I'm still stronger than you!"

But Ye Chen was undeterred. "We'll see about that!" He thrust his sword forward, and the fiery dragon coiling around him surged forward with a deafening roar, slamming into Long Tianyun with crushing force.

Long Tianyun's eyes widened in shock, and for the first time, he felt real fear. "No…!" He raised his sword, trying to block the attack, but the power behind Ye Chen's strike was too much.

The ground beneath them shattered, and Long Tianyun was sent flying back, crashing into the remnants of the scorched trees. His body slammed into the earth, creating a deep crater from the impact. Dust and debris filled the air, and for a moment, the battlefield was silent.

Aric couldn't contain his excitement. "Yes. Hit each other harder. Break the bones of Tianyun." he whispered, his eyes gleaming with delight. "Ye Chen… you truly are something else. Truly changing the game in the final moments" But his smirk remained, knowing that the fight wasn't over yet.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen stood tall, his breath coming in heavy gasps, but his eyes were fierce. His aura crackled with the power of Divine Transformation, and the flames around him danced wildly. He could feel the strain on his body, the toll of burning his essence beginning to show, but he pushed it aside.

"I'm going to end this," Ye Chen muttered, his voice low but filled with finality.

But just as Ye Chen raised his sword, preparing to deliver the final blow, a sinister laugh echoed through the battlefield.

Long Tianyun stood slowly, his body bruised and bloodied, but his eyes burned with a fierce red light. "Did you really think… that I wouldn't have my own trump card?" he growled, his voice low and filled with malice.

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed as he felt a surge of dark energy radiate from Long Tianyun's body.
