Crash!
The Zhen Yuan Black Dragon seemed to have materialized flesh and blood. Its body was torn apart, and irregular chunks of flesh scattered down from the sky. It was an extremely spectacular sight, causing the souls of the spectating martial artists to tremble.
Before the Zhen Yuan chunks of flesh reached the ground, they dissipated at different speeds. A Yuan Qi hurricane swept up where they were, blowing towards the sky.
"Impossible! Black Dragon Tyrant Fist was broken?"
Sparks flew from the gloves. Unable to bear the recoil of power, the crown prince was sent flying back at an even faster speed, his face full of disbelief.
Black Dragon Tyrant Fist was a low grade profound sense fist art, a pure killing fist art. In terms of might, even ordinary low grade profound sense martial skills were inferior to it. Although he had only comprehended a bit of it, not even one-tenth of its peak, at the level of Astral Reaching realm, one-tenth of a low grade profound sense fist art's might was already quite amazing.
Originally, the crown prince was brimming with confidence. He believed that at the level of Astral Reaching realm, be it Shen Tujue or Pei Youdao, they would be suppressed by his Black Dragon Tyrant Fist within one move. In other words, he would be able to gain the upper hand within one move. As for after one move, he would have no other choice. He had set a one move agreement with Ye Chen in order to suppress Ye Chen's prestige and establish his own.
How could he have imagined that the Black Dragon Tyrant Fist, which had always been successful, would only be able to withstand three sword strikes from Ye Chen. These three sword strikes seemed to have cut into the blind spots of the Black Dragon Tyrant Fist, forcibly dismembering the Zhen Yuan Black Dragon, creating such a soul-shaking scene.
Sheathing his sword, Ye Chen indifferently looked at the crown prince, "Thanks for letting me win."
"Brother Ye's sword arts are indeed incomparably sharp. Seems like I won't be able to gain the upper hand within one move." The crown prince revealed a forced smile, feeling extremely sullen inwardly. With so many spectators, he was afraid that in less than ten days, the entire Black Dragon Empire would know that he was inferior to Ye Chen. At this moment, the only thing he could do was play a word game, telling the world that he wouldn't be able to defeat Ye Chen in one move. However, after one move, the outcome might be different.
Ye Chen said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "Likewise. Crown Prince's words are similarly incomparably sharp, not beneath my sword arts."
"You …"
The Crown Prince's chest heaved up and down. 'Well done, Ye Chen, you actually didn't give me a way out. I gave you face, but you made me lose face. Let's see how long you can be arrogant for. The Floating Mountain Sect won't sit by and watch you grow. The remaining members of the Nine Ghost Cult will definitely try to assassinate you.
The Eldest Prince's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled and said, "You're flattering me. Brother Ye's courage is truly shocking. You treat the Hanging Mountain like it's nothing. I'm ashamed of my inferiority."
Ye Chen replied, "The First Imperial Prince is openly trying to rope in the disciples of the various sects. Such methods and boldness far surpass Ye Chen's. How would Ye Chen dare to show off in front of the First Imperial Prince?"
Ye Chen's words were like his sword techniques, always hitting the nail on the head. Since the Eldest Imperial Prince wanted to drag him down with him, he naturally would not be polite.
After the two geniuses finished exchanging blows, they started bickering, which left the surrounding spectators dumbstruck. However, it seemed like Ye Chen was gaining the upper hand, and the crown prince was gradually losing the upper hand.
"Alright, I still have things to do. Brother Ye, you take care of yourself. We will meet again in the future. I hope that at that time, brother Ye will still be as lively as you are today."
With his status as the Eldest Imperial Prince, if he continued, he would become a laughing stock. He could not afford to lose face, and neither could the royal family of the Black Dragon Empire.
"Let's go!"
The group of six came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Ye Chen sneered. This Eldest Imperial Prince was nothing to worry about. Sikong Sheng, Yan Chihuo, and Lin Yun were all much stronger than him. At least, the three of them did not know how to play word games. If they lost, they lost. They were just a bit more stubborn. As the Eldest Imperial Prince of the Black Dragon Empire, he did not have any dignity at all.
As soon as the Eldest Imperial Prince left, everyone's gaze gathered on Ye Chen.
"Among all the southern regions of the True Spirit Continent, our South Rudra Region is the weakest with the least amount of geniuses. But, from today onwards, it will be different. Ye Chen can completely compete with the top geniuses of other regions."
"Genius leader … fully deserving of the title."
"However, Ye Chen's situation is worrying. Not only did he offend the Floating Mountain Sect and the remnants of the Nine Evil Cult, he even offended the Eldest Imperial Prince of the Black Dragon Empire."
"It's hard to say for now. Without this boldness, perhaps Ye Chen would not be Ye Chen, and he would not have the achievements he has today."
This battle had established Ye Chen's unshakable position as a genius leader.
Returning to the Nine Star White Jade Restaurant, Ye Chen went into closed-door training and declined all guests.
Feng Yanrou's Ice Snow Sword Domain and the Eldest Imperial Prince's Black Dragon Tyrant Fist were both low grade profound sense martial skills, which brought a trace of threat to Ye Chen.
It was not that the two could threaten Ye Chen. Without exaggerating, the current Ye Chen could kill them with thirty to forty percent of his strength, and he could suppress an Astral Reaching paragon with fifty percent of his strength. In other words, fifty percent of Ye Chen's strength was enough for him to look down on everyone and rule the Astral Reaching Realm.
The reason why he felt threatened was because the low grade profound sense martial skills made Ye Chen feel that he was lacking.
Limited by profound sense, Astral Reaching experts were unable to grasp profound sense martial skills. For example, Feng Yanrou and the Eldest Imperial Prince had stopped at less than ten percent. However, who knew if there would be someone who could grasp ten percent, or even twenty percent. Who knew if a freak like Ye Chen would appear, cultivating a top rank Earth grade martial skill to the peak of the thirteenth layer and condensing a sword soul embryo or a martial soul embryo. Perhaps there would even be someone at the Astral Reaching realm who could directly condense a sword soul or martial soul. These were all uncertain. Perhaps, perhaps not. Ye Chen couldn't hope that others didn't have this kind of talent and opportunity. True Spirit Continent was so big, and it was quite possible for such freaks to appear.
Therefore, what Ye Chen could do was to constantly strengthen himself and never be satisfied.
Profound sense martial skills … Ye Chen also had them, but he couldn't use them.
The Void Shattering Finger he obtained on the sheep-head mountain was undoubtedly a profound sense finger art. However, the Void Shattering Finger's profoundness was different from ordinary profoundness. It involved space. Up until now, Ye Chen still didn't know what the space attribute was or how to comprehend it. Rather than spending time on the Void Shattering Finger, he might as well comprehend the strongest ninth style of Green Lotus Sword Arts.
Indeed, it was precisely the ninth style of Green Lotus Sword Arts.
According to Battle King's rich knowledge, Ye Chen was clear that the last style of a top rank Earth Realm martial skill was extraordinary. Although it couldn't compare to a low rank profound sense martial skill, it was still a lot more powerful than a tenth of a low rank profound sense martial skill. Those Sea of Soul realm experts who could create low rank profound sense martial skills had already cultivated one or two top rank Earth Realm martial skills to perfection. Without perfection, one couldn't even talk about creating a profound sense martial skill.
Generally speaking, Astral Reaching experts couldn't cultivate top rank Earth Realm martial skills to perfection. However, Ye Chen was an exception. His soul was several times more powerful than other martial artists at the same level, and his comprehensive ability was extremely high. Moreover, top rank Earth Realm martial skills were still within the realm of mentalities, not as mysterious as profound sense.
As long as one could cultivate the ninth style of Green Lotus Sword Arts, the possibility of falling into a disadvantage in the Astral Reaching realm in terms of moves was almost negligible, unless the opponent had comprehended the profound in advance and could push the profound sense martial skill to a higher realm.
Of course, he had to comprehend the ninth style of Green Lotus Sword Arts, as well as the fourteenth layer of Green Lotus Sword Arts. Under the same rank, the difficulty of improving a cultivation technique was more than double that of a martial skill. Many Sea of Soul realm experts had yet to cultivate a top rank Earth Realm martial skill to perfection.
"With the accumulation of the first eight styles of Green Lotus Sword Arts, it's not impossible to attack the ninth style. Once I succeed in the ninth style, my mentalities will transform into profound sense."
Straightening out his thoughts, Ye Chen searched for the best place to comprehend the sword arts.
…
On the floating mountain peak, there was only one main hall.
In the main hall, Floating Mountain's sect leader, a majestic middle-aged man, was sitting in the main seat. Below him were three people. One was Floating Mountain's core great elder, Shen Tujue. The two old men beside him had never been seen before. Their appearances were extremely old. According to an ordinary person's estimation, they were at least ninety years old. If converted to an Astral Reaching expert's age, they would be more than one hundred and eighty years old, close to the end of their lifespan.
The majestic middle-aged man was Sikong Sheng's grandfather, Sikong Ba, also a descendant of the Cang King.
"Shen Tujue, with your strength alone, even if you can suppress Ye Chen, it will be difficult for you to smoothly kill him. This time, I've sent Elder Li and Elder Fu to assist you. Their strength is comparable to yours. With the three of them joining hands, killing Ye Chen will be as easy as blowing off dust."
Sikong Ba said indifferently.
Shen Tujue glanced at Elder Li and Elder Fu, then cupped his hands and said, "With the assistance of two elders who have been cultivating for a long time, we can naturally kill Ye Chen. However, before that, please allow me to act alone. If I can't smoothly kill him, then we'll join hands."
He had his own plans. If he killed Ye Chen with the strength of three people before the fight even started, wouldn't it mean that he was inferior to Ye Chen? This was not his original intention.
Elder Li smiled, "Elder Shen Tujue is still so domineering. Sect leader, I also feel that Elder Shen Tujue can deal with him alone. We'll just watch from the side."
He and Elder Fu had been cultivating for a long time without any contact with the outside world. Through the accumulation of time and the support of the sect's resources, their strength was extremely frightening. They were both existences not inferior to Shen Tujue. If Shen Tujue couldn't deal with Ye Chen, it meant that they couldn't deal with him either. Therefore, they didn't believe that Ye Chen could be so powerful.
Sikong Ba nodded, "This time, only success is allowed. Failure is not allowed."
"Yes!"
Shen Tujue nodded.
With a wave of his robe, Sikong Ba threw out four streams of light.
Two of the four streams of light flew towards Shen Tujue, while the other two fell towards Elder Li and Elder Fu.
The three of them reached out to receive the streams of light. When they felt the fluctuations coming from the streams of light, they were shocked. They were actually high-grade artifacts, a total of four high-grade artifacts.
Elder Li's high-grade artifact was a saber. The saber light swirled and sliced through the void. Elder Fu's high-grade artifact was a long spear, with a large snake coiled around it.
As for Shen Tujue, he had two high-grade artifacts. One was a greenish-black glove, while the other was a dark-green armor. One for offense and one for defense.
"Sect leader!" Shen Tujue raised his head.
Sikong Ba said indifferently, "I said, only success is allowed. Failure is not allowed. These four high-grade artifacts were borrowed from the other supreme elders. After using them, you still have to return them."
"Shen Tujue understands!"
Feeling the fluctuations of the high-grade artifacts, Shen Tujue was overjoyed. With two high-grade artifacts, he was an absolutely invincible existence in the Astral Reaching realm. His offense was frighteningly powerful, and his defense was similarly frighteningly powerful. He was already in an invincible position. It seemed like the sect leader's desire to kill Ye Chen was quite intense. But, it was no wonder. Ye Chen's action of killing Daoist Jin Huang was already a great disrespect to Floating Mountain. How could he be allowed to live?
"You guys set off!"
Sikong Ba waved his hand.
