At this moment, Ye Chen didn't have a body. Strictly speaking, he didn't have a body in the world of will. In the real world, he just stood there motionlessly, looking at the Iron Sword King's will statue in front of him. There were traces of cracks spreading on the statue. They were very small, but they were already showing signs of collapsing.
Feeling the will image condensed in his body, Ye Chen's five senses were very subtle. He could see things he couldn't see before and sense mysteries he couldn't sense before. He was very clear that he could condense the will image only under the guidance of Iron Sword King's will. In reality, he was still far from it.
Trying his best to counteract Iron Sword King's Destruction Sword Dao will, Ye Chen's will image gradually turned blurry, wanting to return to reality.
Right at this moment, the storage ring on Ye Chen's finger flickered with a dim light, and the broken Battle King's sword shook uncontrollably.
"Iron Sword King, long time no see."
In the world of will, another will image appeared. This will image was two meters tall, with a steel-cast body that was perfectly straight, as if it could support the sky. His eyes were cold and resolute as he looked straight at Iron Sword King. In his right hand was a sword, which was the intact Battle King's sword.
Battle King's will image had appeared!
"Oh, Battle King, didn't expect you to leave a will in this kid's body." Iron Sword King's brows twitched, somewhat astonished.
Battle King glanced at Ye Chen's will image, "He's not my successor, but he can be counted as my successor. The connection between us is nothing more than a broken sword."
The two didn't speak, as they couldn't hear each other. This was an exchange of wills.
"You've appeared now. Are you planning to exchange pointers with me in sword dao?"
"That's right."
Battle King didn't only have sword intent, but also a battle intent that could break through the shackles of heaven and earth. His jet-black long hair danced in the sky.
Iron Sword King revealed an expression of 'as expected', "I'm already dead. This will has one last attack left. I hope your immortal sword dao will let me have a good time. Bring out your sword!"
"Bring out your sword!"
After several hundred years, the two kings of sword dao met once again. Although it was only a confrontation of wills, it was not something ordinary people could see. On the path of sword dao, whose accomplishments were greater would be revealed at this moment. Ye Chen held his breath as he stared unblinkingly at the two's will images.
Clang!
Blazing flames soared into the sky. It was impossible to see the movements of the two. Almost in an instant, the swords of the Battle King and Iron Sword King collided with each other as they poured all their strength into their swords.
"Roar!"
The Iron Sword King roared. The gaze emitted from his eyes was even more frightening than the sword qi.
"My achievements have long surpassed yours. Retreat!"
It had to be said that the Battle King's Immortal Sword Will was exceptionally frightening. No matter how the Destruction Sword Will attacked, it was still able to maintain its original form and forcibly resist the attack from a distance. On the other hand, the Destruction Sword Will was gradually being whittled away, causing the Iron Sword King's will image to rapidly dim.
"Destroy!"
The Iron Sword King roared again. His body fused with the sword will and crazily slashed at the Battle Monarch. The will power that could destroy everything turned the world into primal chaos.
"I'll show you the true essence of the Immortal Sword Will."
A sword intent that was so vast that it could pierce through the sky burst out fiercely. The sword intent was like a vast ocean, one wave higher than the other, never stopping. In front of an even more powerful sword intent, the Destruction Sword Will could only launch a futile attack and then be blocked.
"Amazing. Your Sword Dao is indeed above mine."
Countless specks of light scattered. The Iron Sword King's will fluctuation grew weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared.
Sheathing his sword, the Battle Monarch turned around.
"Your immortality is different from mine, do you understand?"
Ye Chen didn't expect that the Battle Monarch's first words would be this. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "I understand." Everyone's willpower was different because people were born with differences. Imitating someone else's path would only end up shackling oneself.
"To be able to comprehend your own Immortal Sword Will from my sword intent, no wonder you could reach this step." After a pause, the Battle Monarch continued, "I have nothing left for you. I will impart all of my Sword Dao experiences into your mind to help you advance further!"
Raising his right index and middle fingers, the Battle Monarch pointed at the space between Ye Chen's eyebrows.
Buzz!
Countless chaotic information poured into Ye Chen's Soul Sea, almost causing it to collapse.
Ye Chen was overwhelmed with shock. The Battle Monarch's method was simply unfathomable. He was actually able to impart his Sword Dao experiences into someone else's mind.
"Don't be surprised. My Sword Will is the Immortal Sword Will, and my Sword Dao experiences also have an immortal nature. If it were someone else, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to do anything."
After saying the last sentence, the Battle Monarch's will image collapsed.
…
After an unknown amount of time, the Ye Chen in the real world opened his eyes.
"Dual Sword King, Iron Sword King, Battle Monarch, many thanks!"
From the Dual Sword King's Slaughter Sword Will and the Iron Sword King's Destruction Sword Will, Ye Chen had gained a lot. However, he still couldn't convert them into real battle power. Battle Monarch's Immortal Sword Will had given Ye Chen a direct epiphany. Once his Sword Will reached perfection, he would be able to advance by leaps and bounds.
"First, let me take a look at the Battle Monarch's Sword Dao experiences!"
Sinking his consciousness into his Soul Sea, Ye Chen wandered through the unfamiliar information flow.
At the age of thirteen, he left home and joined a small and weak gang. Amidst bloody and fiery battles, he comprehended Sword Will and became a gang leader. At the age of sixteen, he entered Clasping Yuan Realm, and by seventeen, he could be said to be unrivalled in Clasping Yuan Realm. At nineteen, he entered Astral Reaching Realm. Roaming the continent, he met young sword artists everywhere, and fought countless times. His sword skills became increasingly exquisite, and his Sword Will became increasingly intense. At the age of twenty-two, there was no young sword artist on True Spirit Continent who could be his opponent. At twenty-five, he sensed sword intent as a rootless source, and comprehended the Immortal Will. At twenty-six, he advanced to Sea of Soul realm with a solid foundation, and became the youngest Life and Death King in hundreds of years, and was called Battle Monarch.
Time flowed like water, and Battle Monarch's life replayed in Ye Chen's mind. Without a doubt, Battle Monarch's experiences were incomparable to Ye Chen's, and what Ye Chen lacked was precisely experience. Without enough experience, his Sword Will could not be perfected, and could not advance further. This had nothing to do with talent or comprehension, but was purely a kind of perfection of the soul.
Perfection of Sword Will was not much different from Greater Success Sword Will in terms of power. However, everyone knew that incomplete Sword Will was incomplete, and there were still flaws and loopholes.
Battle Monarch's Sword Dao experience filled in the blanks of Ye Chen's experience. A shattering sound seemed to resound in the depths of his heart, and his Sword Will rejoiced as if it had regained its freedom.
"This is perfection … So that's how it is."
Ye Chen could feel that his Sword Will had already become perfect, without a single flaw. In the future, the only thing that mattered would be the difference in strength.
"After perfection of Sword Will, it is time to condense the Sword Soul. I believe that because I comprehended the Immortal Sword Will, before my Sword Will reached perfection, it already had the shape of a Sword Soul Embryo, but I haven't reached the realm yet." With the huge Battle King's Sword Will as his database, Ye Chen's knowledge of Sword Will was not inferior to any Sword King. Only then did he realize that the ancient longsword above his soul was actually the Sword Soul Embryo, and that warriors could also condense the Martial Soul Embryo, just like Shen Tujue.
The Sword Soul was about attacking power.
The Martial Soul was about all aspects.
It was hard to say which of the two was better, but the key lay in the user's usage.
"Reaching perfection of Sword Will still require a long period of time before I have enough willpower to condense the Sword Soul Embryo. However, I am different from ordinary sword artists. Before I reach the realm, my Sword Will will automatically condense into the Sword Soul Embryo, which saves me a lot of time. Now, let me continue!"
Condensing the Sword Soul Embryo required a huge amount of willpower. Fortunately, Ye Chen had refined four Blood Evil Stones, one of which contained a huge amount of willpower, which was equivalent to four ordinary Blood Evil Stones. The amount of willpower stored in it was enough to support him to the next step.
Above his soul sea, the silver mist poured into the ancient longsword. The ancient longsword vibrated, and gradually, a faint silver colour appeared.
Trace by trace, the speed at which the ancient longsword devoured the willpower became faster and faster. From time to time, a sharp Sword Will would leak out from the Soul Sea.
Bang!
All of the silver mist had been devoured, and the ancient looking longsword expanded by a couple of times, growing from a finger long to three fingers long. The rich sword intent was condensed and contained within. As the owner of the sword spirit, Ye Chen felt unprecedentedly powerful.
"If I were an ordinary sword artist, I would have condensed a true Sword Soul by now. However, I am still at the Sword Soul Embryo realm. To condense a true Sword Soul Embryo, the amount of willpower required would be enormous. However, merely based on the amount of Sword Will, it is several times more than an ordinary sword artist's Sword Soul Embryo, which is equivalent to the might of a true Sword Soul. In this aspect, I have already surpassed any Astral Reaching Realm sword artist, and am no different from an ordinary Sea of Soul realm sword artist."
Extending his right index finger, a Green Lotus Sword Qi pierced out.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
The Sword Qi not only pierced through the rock Ye Chen was standing on, it even pierced through three nearby rocks. On the wrist sized sword hole, the Sword Will didn't dissipate, making one's hair stand on end.
"Its might has doubled!"
If Grand Elder Chen were to hear these words, he would certainly be dumbstruck. Before this, Ye Chen was already an Astral Reaching paragon. Now that his offensive power had doubled, it could no longer be described with words. Among Astral Reaching experts, who could defeat Ye Chen?
In other words, the iron rule of Astral Reaching paragon was on the verge of shattering. In the past, it was not that there had never been battles between Astral Reaching paragon. At most, they would have the upper hand, but there was no possibility of casualties. Who could have known that a person like Ye Chen would appear? In terms of invincibility, perhaps from now on, there would only be one Astral Reaching paragon, Ye Chen.
