In these ten years, Ye Chen's sword intent had increased tenfold.
After fifty years, Ye Chen's sword intent had increased by a total of fifty times, roughly doubling every year. The three peak eighth step Sword Souls resonated at a speed that was dozens of times faster than two peak eighth step Sword Souls resonating.
As the sword intent increased, Ye Chen noticed that the black strands on his Yuan Shen were showing signs of disintegration. Unfortunately, the speed was too slow. Fortunately, the sword intent was increasing every day. One day, it would reach the ninth step and possess unimaginable power. Killing the black strands on his Yuan Shen would be as easy as flipping one's palm.
The improvement of the Immortal Sword Intent had strengthened his Immortal Sword Body by fifty times. Adding on the fact that he had absorbed the essence of ten first and second rank supreme swords in the past two hundred years, his Immortal Sword Body had reached the twelfth layer, allowing him to resist the attacks of a low level Legendary Sovereign without suffering any damage.
Unfortunately, the number of Supreme Swords was limited. Ye Chen had a feeling that if he wanted to break through to the thirteenth level, he would need to absorb the essence of at least a hundred first or second grade Supreme Swords. In the end, the Immortal Sword Body was still inferior to the Nine Transformation Golden Body in some aspects. After all, although the Nine Transformation Golden Body's cultivation speed was slower, it didn't have such harsh requirements.
"Sky Splitter, let's go hunting."
Right now, no matter where he went, he would bring Sky Splitter with him. Compared to warriors, the evolution of fierce beasts was both easy and difficult. It was easy because they only needed to devour lifeforms that were more powerful than them to evolve. But, it was difficult because without external help, how could they fight against lifeforms that were more powerful than them?
Other fierce beasts grew step by step, but Sky Splitter was like a rocket, rising in a straight line.
In these two hundred years, Sky Splitter had devoured six beginner Legendary beasts and wasn't far from advancing.
Carrying Ye Chen on its back, Sky Splitter flew out as fast as a meteor.
…
"Sky Splitter, hurry up!"
On this day, Ye Chen discovered black smoke lingering in the air. There were even traces of flames burning within the black smoke. If Ye Chen's guess was right, the black smoke should have been left behind by the Legendary Beast, the Black Smoke Beast. The Black Smoke Beast liked to stay in the underground magma. It would only come to the surface when it was hungry.
Relying on Heaven Splitter's sense of smell to lock onto the black smoke, Ye Chen quickly spotted the Black Smoke Beast.
The Black Smoke Beast was several times larger than Heaven Splitter. Its entire body was pitch-black, like charcoal. However, there were faint cracks on the surface of its skin. The black smoke was coming from these cracks, and the smell was extremely dense.
Roar!
Black smoke billowed as the Black Smoke Beast roared at Ye Chen and Sky Splitter. Then, it glared at them with an emotionless, ominous glint in its eyes.
"Sky Splitter, watch from the side."
Ye Chen jumped down from Sky Splitter's back and unsheathed Sky Sword.
Ear-piercing sonic booms rang out continuously. The black smoke was pulled into a straight line. The Black Smoke Beast dashed forward and was less than ten meters away from Ye Chen. Its mouth was wide open, and within it was scarlet magma.
"Bury!"
Without holding back, Ye Chen directly used the strongest Bury Sword Style, piercing through the Black Smoke Beast's body. Then, the sword energy twisted and destroyed the Black Smoke Beast's vitality.
Currently, Ye Chen only needed one sword to deal with a beginner Legendary Beast.
In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed. He was only one or two beginner Legendary Beasts away from Sky Splitter's advancement. Of course, the advancement depended on the probability. If he was lucky, the number would be about the same.
Unknowingly, the man and the beast arrived near the Desolate God Secret Territory. They were tracking a Legendary Beast.
The surroundings were quiet, as though all sound had been cut off by an invisible hand. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no danger near the Desolate God Secret Territory, Ye Chen definitely wouldn't take the risk.
"Sky Splitter, can you smell the other party's scent?"
Ye Chen lowered his head and asked Sky Splitter.
Sky Splitter's expression was a little uneasy. It was unknown whether it was because they were near the Desolate God Secret Territory or because their target was a mid-level Legendary Beast.
To deal with a beginner Legendary Beast, Ye Chen only needed one sword. To deal with a mid-level Legendary Beast, Ye Chen would have to go all out.
Although his sword intent had increased by more than 50 times, to be honest, it wasn't a big deal. If his combat power had increased by more than 50 times, it would be better. Increasing his sword intent by more than 50 times would only increase Ye Chen's combat power by about 10 times. Of course, this was mainly because the time was too short. If Ye Chen was given a thousand years, his sword intent would increase by a thousand times, which would be about 200 times in terms of combat power.
A mid-level Legendary Beast was rather rare. If he didn't seize this opportunity, it would be difficult to see one in the future. Therefore, Ye Chen was prepared to take a gamble. Even if he couldn't kill the other party, he would at least slice off a piece of flesh from the other party. A piece of flesh from a mid-level Legendary Beast was roughly equivalent to a beginner Legendary Beast.
Relying on the Starry Sky Bear Dog King's unique sense of smell, Sky Splitter carried Ye Chen and quickly scurried out. It had smelled the scent.
Not long after, the two of them saw a cave. The cave was about a few meters wide, but it was very deep. It was pitch-black without a trace of light.
* Hiss hiss hiss hiss … *
A storm-like hissing sound could be heard as a black shadow slowly slithered out. It was a huge greyish-black python with dozens of sharp horns on its head. Its head was round like a ball.
Middle-level Legendary Beast — Iron Star Snake!
The snake coiled its body and raised its head high. Its two scarlet tongues flickered as fast as lightning.
A battle was about to break out.
All of a sudden!
The ground beneath Ye Chen and Sky Splitter suddenly exploded as a long tail broke out from the ground and curled towards the two. It turned out that the Iron Star Snake had already drilled its tail into the ground to ambush Ye Chen and Sky Splitter.
"So experienced!"
Ye Chen didn't notice when the Iron Star Snake had drilled its tail into the ground. Caught off guard, he and Sky Splitter were coiled by the snake's tail and couldn't move.
In the next moment, the Iron Star Snake's round head scurried over and bit at Ye Chen first. The other party was a mid-level Legendary Beast. With a light bite, its teeth could probably pierce through Ye Chen's Immortal Sword Physique. Coupled with its terrifying poison, Ye Chen would die without a doubt.
"Get lost!"
Although Ye Chen couldn't break free, he still had the Netherworld Sacred Eye. A surge of soul force mixed with hell's will gushed out and hit the Iron Star Snake's head.
The Iron Star Snake's body stiffened as if it was paralyzed. Seizing this opportunity, Ye Chen and Sky Splitter instantly broke free.
Hiss hiss!
The Iron Star Snake soon recovered and angrily pounced at Ye Chen again. Ding!
Dang! Dang!
One man and one snake started to fight.
What Ye Chen didn't know was that his battle with the Iron Star Snake had already fallen into the eyes of a horrifying creature. This creature was standing on a high mountain with a baboon-like body and a pair of blood-red eyes. If Ye Chen saw this creature, he would definitely recognize it. When the leaders of the five tribes tore the time-space and sent the gold-eating beasts into the Desolate God Secret Domain, there was a scene on the other side of the time-space tunnel, which scared the gold-eating beasts so much that they were shivering.
