The newcomer was none other than Skeleton Ocean Emperor.
Skeleton Ocean Emperor possessed a high grade emperor grade weapon and a mid grade emperor grade armor. In terms of pure strength, he was not stronger than Ye Chen. Even if he was stronger, it would not be by much. However, the higher one's cultivation base, the higher the requirement for artifacts. With these two artifacts, Ye Chen's battle strength could never catch up.
"Kill!"
With a wave of his battle spear, a Fire Crystal Beast was shattered into dozens of pieces. His killing move could instantly destroy ordinary Fire Crystal Beasts, but it took a long time to charge up.
After killing dozens of Fire Crystal Beasts, Skeleton Ocean Emperor also saw Ye Chen.
"Strange, a mere fifth layer Life and Death King can actually live until now. So that's how it is. His Sword Domain has actually reached the mid fifth layer, and it even contains the power of space. No, he can actually reverse the Sword Domain and eliminate the useless force on his body."
Skeleton Ocean Emperor's insight was brilliant. Logically speaking, even mid fifth layer Sword Domain couldn't do what Ye Chen was doing, turning the impossible into the possible. Upon closer inspection, Skeleton Ocean Emperor realized that Ye Chen was reversing Sword Domain and dissolving the useless force and inertia of his body. For example, if a person was advancing at full speed, it would be extremely difficult to make them retreat. Moreover, one would have to bear the combined force of both forward and backward, which would be a huge burden. However, Ye Chen had removed the forward force and only needed to add the backward force. This way, his dodging would naturally be unrestrained and unconstrained.
Righteous Sword Domain, affecting others.
Reverse Luck Sword Domain, affecting oneself.
Achieving this step was extremely difficult, and required extremely powerful comprehension and execution. Before, Ye Chen had only taken a small step, and it was still imperfect. Moreover, he had to rely on the power of space. But now, Ye Chen could do it as he pleased, approaching perfection.
"Such a genius is a disaster if left alive. Since I've encountered him, I'll deal with him in passing!"
With this thought, Skeleton Ocean Emperor made his decision.
Ye Chen knew that Skeleton Ocean Emperor was not a pushover. To be more precise, all titled monarchs of different races were not pushovers. Once they encountered each other, they would inevitably fight to the death.
He wasn't a match for the Skeleton Ocean Emperor, and this place was filled with Fire Crystal Beasts. It really wasn't the best place for a battle.
"Go!"
Making a turn in the air, Ye Chen flew in another direction.
"You want to leave?"
The Skeleton Sea Emperor sneered and followed closely behind Ye Chen.
Rumble!
The Skeleton Ocean Emperor and the Fire Crystal Beasts behind Ye Chen converged. There were five hundred of them, and three of them were "petite".
Ye Chen frowned when he saw the Skeleton Ocean Monarch following him.
Clang!
Unsheathing the Dragon Spring Sword, Ye Chen turned around and hacked towards the Skeleton Sea Emperor. The sword Qi released by the Dragon Spring Sword was as fierce as a raging fire, nearly merging with the air. The sword Qi released by the Dragon Spring Sword seemed to be gentle and neutral, but in fact, it contained boundless potential.
It was the True Inferno Sword.
"Reckless."
The Skeleton Ocean Emperor was infuriated. He hadn't expected that the other party would make a move on him before he had even made a move. This had undoubtedly infuriated him. "Break for me!" Raising his battle spear, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's spear swept across the sword Qi. The intense blue light instantly condensed into a huge spear shadow.
With a loud bang, a shockwave spread out.
A trace of blood leaked out from the corner of Ye Chen's mouth. His speed increased again, and he used the borrowed force to the extreme.
On the other hand, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's face paled, and his speed slowed down. It turned out that the sword Qi released by Ye Chen was extremely powerful. Being caught off guard, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor suffered a "hidden loss". Of course, there was a big gap between their battle power. Aside from the sharp decrease in speed, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor was fine.
However, with five hundred Fire Crystal Beasts following behind him, he was instantly surrounded.
"Piss off!"
Spear shadows shot out everywhere, and a large number of Fire Crystal Beasts were thrown away. Even the three "petite" Fire Crystal Beasts were forced back dozens of meters. As a four-star general, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's battle power was unimaginable. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many Fire Crystal Beasts on Desolate Mars, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor would have already fought his way out.
Swoosh!
Using this opportunity, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor flashed out of the encirclement and chased after Ye Chen again. In terms of speed, he was slightly faster than Ye Chen, but he wasn't as nimble as his opponent.
"He's really persistent."
Ye Chen wasn't afraid of the Skeleton Ocean Emperor. If he couldn't beat him, couldn't he just run? However, the Skeleton Sea Emperor's persistent pestering gave him a bad feeling.
"Go back."
From far away, Ye Chen attacked the Skeleton Ocean Emperor with another sword Qi.
"Haha, do you think I'll fall for your trick again?" The Skeleton Ocean Emperor flapped his wings and soared into the sky. The sword Qi swept past below him and slashed at a group of Fire Crystal Beasts. As a Monarch of the Yaksha race, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's speed was his forte. If it weren't for Ye Chen's equally astonishing speed, he would have caught up long ago. At such a distance, Ye Chen's sword Qi couldn't touch him at all. He also didn't want to fight with Ye Chen from afar. After all, that would lower his speed.
Just like that, Ye Chen flew in front and slashed behind him from time to time. The Skeleton Ocean Emperor displayed his speed and dodged Ye Chen's sword Qi. As for the Fire Crystal Beasts behind them, they were a little unlucky. They were slashed by the sword Qi. However, Desolate Mars was the Fire Crystal Beasts' territory, and the number of Fire Crystal Beasts increased from five hundred to one thousand. Now, even the Skeleton Ocean Emperor was surrounded and couldn't escape.
Swish!
Right at this moment, the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's speed suddenly increased. The wings on his back shone with a blue radiance as if they were made of blue crystals.
This was the peak emperor grade secret art of the Yaksha race — Light Wings Transformation. Upon reaching the highest realm, one could reach light speed.
It should be known that light speed was a threshold. Even seventh layer Life and Death Monarchs couldn't surpass light speed. They could at most approach it. Therefore, between seventh layer and seventh layer Life and Death Monarchs, there wasn't much difference in speed. They were all very close to light speed, or even infinitely close to it.
Skeleton Ocean Emperor's normal speed was only a bit faster than Ye Chen's, and it wasn't very obvious. However, after using Light Wings Transformation, his speed had increased by a lot. If he were in a vacuum, his speed would definitely reach light speed. Above light speed, there was no such thing as two or three times light speed. Above light speed was teleportation, which was the means of eighth layer Life and Death Realm titled Monarchs.
"So fast!"
Ye Chen was startled. The wings on the Skeleton Ocean Emperor's back had almost fused with the void. In this way, space wouldn't obstruct him, and his speed would reach a perfect realm.
"If my space profound reaches ninety percent completion, I'll most likely be able to move at light speed as well."
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen recalled his own space profound. Space profound was unfathomable, and Ye Chen estimated that with ninety percent completion, he would be able to move at light speed, and with perfection, he would be able to teleport. At eighth layer Life and Death Realm, his teleportation distance would be many times greater than others.
Twenty li!
Ten li!
Five li!
Three li!
One li!
Soon, the distance between the two was reduced to five hundred meters. This was a very short distance, and in a vacuum, it was completely negligible.
"Kid, stay here!"
The Skeleton Ocean Emperor flipped his palm, and a black sphere appeared. With a swish, he threw the sphere at Ye Chen.
"What is this?" Without any hesitation, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack onto the black ball.
Peng!
In the next moment, the black sphere exploded, releasing countless fine threads. There were so many of them that they seemed boundless. With a single point as the center, they scattered in every direction. Ye Chen, who was the closest to them, was immediately enveloped by countless threads. As for Skeleton Ocean Emperor, he soared into the sky. Only a few threads touched his body, but even so, he had to expend a great deal of effort to break free from their entanglement.
Besides Ye Chen, the Fire Crystal Beast that was following behind him was also caught by the strings.
"Not good!"
Ye Chen's speed suddenly slowed down, getting slower and slower. On his body, those thin strands had tightly wrapped around him. Waving his Dragon Spring Sword, he could only cut off dozens of strands at most, which was completely useless.
"Haha, this Thousand Layer Silk of mine cost me ten million yuan stones. You should be proud of yourself for using it on you."
Thousand Layer Silk was a refined treasure. Its raw material was the silk of a kind of Monarch Spider. Monarch Spider was not a demonic beast, but a cosmic beast like the Star Colossal Beast. An adult Monarch Spider was incomparably frightening. Even seventh layer Life and Death Realm titled monarchs would have a slim chance of survival if they encountered one. Its silk could stick to anything, making it extremely difficult to struggle free.
The reason why the Skeleton Ocean Emperor used Thousand Layer Silk on Ye Chen was because Ye Chen's battle strength was at least at the level of a four star purple gold commander. Killing such a genius would be rewarded greatly. If he killed a one star or two star purple gold commander, although he would also get a reward, it would not be this much. Using Thousand Layer Silk would be a waste, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Snap after snap, Ye Chen felt as if he had sunk into a swamp, and his movements became extremely sluggish. At the same time, the surrounding Fire Crystal Beasts surrounded him, and their numbers kept increasing.
"Enjoy it!"
The Skeleton Ocean Emperor pulled away, not wanting to be surrounded. As for Thousand Layer Silk, it could not bind a person for a long time. After all, it had not reached an indestructible level.
Finally, Ye Chen got rid of the thousand layers of silk and looked around. There were at least one thousand and five hundred fire crystal beasts surrounding him from all directions.
"Could it be that I will die here?"
Ye Chen sucked in a deep breath.
"No, even if I die ten times, I will carve out a bloody path."
A deep darkness appeared in his pupils. At this moment, Ye Chen's mind was devoid of all distracting thoughts. All he could think of was kill, kill, kill, kill anyone who stood in his way.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Roars rang out incessantly as at least hundreds of Fire Crystal Beasts charged at Ye Chen. Looking from afar, Ye Chen seemed to have fallen into the ball of Fire Crystal Beasts, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
"He should be dead! But, it won't be easy to get his storage ring and purple gold commander badge. "The Skeleton Ocean Emperor thought to himself. Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi!
There were so many fire crystal beasts that they formed a huge round ball. Being in the middle of it, Ye Chen had no way out.
However, right at this moment, a swishing sound was heard as a black sword Qi shot out through the cracks. The ball of Fire Crystal Beasts seemed to have turned into a hedgehog, a black hedgehog.
