Not only did Zenith Decline contain a powerful defense, but it was also more than ten times stronger than Zenith Decline in terms of weakening external attacks. However, there was always a loss. Apart from weakening external attacks, Zenith Decline could also strengthen the power of one's sword technique. Zenith Decline did not have this effect. It was extremely extreme.
However, for Ye Chen, what he truly needed was peak decline. Peak decline was a bit weak, but the weakening wasn't too severe, and the strengthening of his sword arts wasn't too powerful either. Average development meant mediocrity, so he might as well focus on one point.
With peak decline, Ye Chen could be considered an ultimate sword artist among quasi-sovereigns. He could both attack and defend, and had no weaknesses. Combined with Heart Sword Realm, even a desolate life planet couldn't bear it. It should be known that the range of peak decline was not fixed, and completely depended on Ye Chen's will. When it was small, he only needed to protect himself. When it was large, it could cover a radius of ten million li.
Once one entered this range, it would already be good if the enemy could display even half of their strength.
…
At the border of Black Tortoise Star Field and White Tiger Star Field, there was a huge floating meteorite. Two figures were sitting on it, playing chess.
"True Martial Supreme, I didn't expect you to dare come. Admirable."
The person on the opposite side raised his head. It was the number one supreme of the Demons, Sky Demon Sovereign. At this moment, the two didn't emit any supreme aura, and looked like two ordinary Kings.
True Martial Supreme placed a white chess piece and said indifferently, "Why not?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll set a trap to kill you?"
The Sky Demon Sovereign had two Divine Artifacts. One was the Sky Demon Sacred Armor, and the other was the Bloodlust Spear. The Divine Artifacts were refined from the fusion of Paragon Weapons with Divine Stones. They were many times more powerful than Paragon Weapons, and the True Martial Sovereign only had the True Martial Divine Jian. Celestial Demon Sovereign was confident that he could kill Supreme True Martial in a protracted battle. Of course, it had to be a protracted battle, so if he wanted to kill Supreme True Martial, he had to set up a formation to trap him.
"Hehe." True Martial Supreme smiled, "You can try."
With that, his right hand stretched forward, and the white chess piece fell. Sky Demon Sovereign sized up True Martial Supreme's wrist, his eyes suddenly squinted, and he laughed heartily.
"As expected of Supreme Martial Sage. He was able to find a Sacred artefact in just a few hundred years. Impressive." Previously, Celestial Demon Sovereign didn't pay attention to it. But just now, when Supreme True Martial was playing chess, part of his wrist was exposed, revealing the golden scales. With Celestial Demon Sovereign's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the scales contained the power of a Saint artifact. The power of a Saint artifact was very special, so it couldn't be forged.
"How could it be that easy to obtain a Saint Tool? This is just a defective one. Of course, I am still very confident in its might. How about we have a spar?"
Supreme True Martial's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Celestial Archdevil stared fixedly at Supreme True Martial. Initially, he wanted to probe Supreme True Martial, but now that Supreme True Martial said he wanted to spar, he hesitated. The Demons had always been paranoid, even after becoming a Supreme. Celestial Archdevil waved his hand. "This time, I'm not looking for you for anything else, it's about the Asura World."
"Asura World?"
Supreme True Martial's brows creased.
The Asura World was not a world of life. According to the records, it was an arena created by the Asura God. In the Asura World, every time one won a battle, they would be rewarded with a drop of Asura Spring Water. The Asura Spring Water contained a mysterious substance that could help a Quasi-Venerable step into the ninth layer of Life and Death realm, which was also the Supremacy realm. The more Asura Spring Water one had, the higher the success rate.
"You want to open Asura World?"
Supreme True Martial looked at Celestial Demon Sovereign.
"Right, it's about time."
"Give me an explanation!"
In truth, Supreme True Martial didn't want to open the Asura World. No one knew when it started, but the Devil Race and the Human Race each controlled a Yin Yang Asura Stone. Only when the Yin Yang Asura Stone was combined could the Asura World be opened. It had been a hundred thousand years since the last time the Asura World was opened, and the consequence was that more than half of the Human Race's geniuses died.
Celestial Demon Sovereign smiled, "Within five hundred years, don't you think this explanation is enough?"
Supreme True Martial said, "You think I'll believe you?"
"You have no choice but to believe me. Supreme Golden Buddha hasn't recovered yet, right?"
"So what?"
"It was just a small war. We, the Demons, have been able to suppress you humans for so many years. We didn't rely on a few advantages. You should know this yourself."
Seeing that Supreme True Martial was silent, Celestial Demon Sovereign continued, "Opening Asura World is beneficial to both of us. I'll give you some time to consider, but I hope it won't take too long."
Celestial Demon Sovereign stood up, ready to leave.
Supreme True Martial didn't stand up to send him off.
All of a sudden —
A long spear appeared in Celestial Demon Sovereign's hand and he thrust it at Supreme True Martial. The spear was so fast that even time and space vanished in the face of this spear.
Ding!
Supreme True Martial was sent flying backward.
"Celestial Demon Sovereign, what are you trying to do?"
Supreme True Martial bellowed.
"Just kidding."
Celestial Demon Sovereign smirked, but in his heart, he thought, It really is a Sage-level inner armor. The power of the Bloodlust Spear can't penetrate it. Forget it, now is not the time to fight. Let's open Asura World first.
As he spoke, Celestial Demon Sovereign's body flickered and disappeared without a trace.
Supreme True Martial's face darkened as he touched the place where he was hit. He stood in the starry sky and pondered for a long time. After an unknown period of time, Supreme True Martial turned around and disappeared.
"He's not injured. Looks like it's a Sage-level inner armor."
In the starry sky, a faintly discernible voice came from a black chess piece floating in the sky. Then, pa, the black chess piece exploded and turned into nothingness.
True Martial Star, True Martial Grand Hall.
Pfft!
Supreme True Martial's figure appeared in the inner chamber of the True Martial Grand Hall. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Supreme True Martial's face was pale. "Such a domineering Bloodlust Spear. The Royal Carp Inner Armor can only block ninety percent of its power."
In fact, Supreme True Martial did not lie to Celestial Demon Sovereign. The Sage-level inner armor he wore was indeed a defective one. The reason why he suggested a spar was because he wanted to make use of Celestial Demon Sovereign's suspicious nature to deter him from acting rashly. As for the last spear attack, Supreme True Martial had already anticipated it. Celestial Demon Sovereign was a suspicious person and would definitely probe the opponent. However, Supreme True Martial did not expect the spear to be so fast. It seemed like Celestial Demon Sovereign had unearthed more of the Bloodlust Spear's potential.
"The Demons are ambitious. It's not a good time to fight in the near future. I can only open Asura World."
Supreme Zhen Wu sighed. It was said that the Human Race had amazing geniuses, but who knew that the Human Race had always been walking on a tightrope? Once there was a shortage of talents, the Human Race would be completely suppressed by the Demon Race. Since ancient times, the Human Race might have had the upper hand, but they had never had the absolute upper hand.
"Asura World might be an opportunity. I hope I'm not digging my own grave."
