"Huh! The ninety percent completed Void Shattering Finger Art and the completed Void Shattering Finger Art are worlds apart. The power would be at least twice as powerful. As long as I can train this Void Shattering Finger Art to completion, even Bai Wuxue and the rest would lose to me. It is just a mere Ye Chen."
With that thought in mind, Xia Houzun felt a lot more relaxed.
Before, he had lost his cool because he had not expected to lose to Ye Chen. Therefore, he could not wait to beat Ye Chen, making Ye Chen his number one enemy. But now, he felt that it was a bit funny. Ye Chen indeed needed to be beaten, but his number one enemy was still not him, but Bai Wuxue and the rest.
…
Returning to Murong Qingcheng's side, Ye Chen said regretfully, "He got away!"
"As long as we are fine." Murong Qingcheng's face was very pale, looking like a fragile piece of porcelain. Seeing Ye Chen, she let out a breath. Xia Houzun was way too powerful, and he had so many ace attacks. Although Ye Chen could beat him, but if he was pushed into a corner, perhaps he would die together with Ye Chen.
"How are you now?"
Ye Chen grabbed Murong Qingcheng's hand. Her hand was so soft and smooth that it looked like there were no bones in it. It was just that before, it always had some warmth, but now it felt cold. Pushing his soul power in, Ye Chen realized that Murong Qingcheng's meridians were messed up, and some of them were even broken.
Murong Qingcheng took out one of her hands and used a handkerchief to wipe away the blood on the corner of Ye Chen's mouth, "You do not need to worry about me. Although the demon power essence is very powerful, it comes from the same source as my demon power after all. It will not cause any irreversible internal injuries, and I should be able to recover after some time. You, on the other hand, have been hit by Xia Houzun's Void Shattering Finger Art so many times."
Ye Chen laughed, "I forgot to tell you, but I have already trained the undying body. So, this kind of injury will be healed soon."
"Undying Body?"
Murong Qingcheng was flabbergasted. She knew that Ye Chen had obtained the Undying Body Secret Art, but she didn't expect that Ye Chen had already successfully cultivated it. It should be known that the Undying Body Secret Art was a domain that only Life and Death Kings could touch upon. One could easily imagine how difficult it was to cultivate, second only to Life and Death Realm.
"Being able to cultivate the Undying Body in advance will certainly be helpful in entering Life and Death Realm. Have you made any progress?" Some time ago, Ye Chen had already handed over the Undying Body secret art to Murong Qingcheng, hoping that she could cultivate the Undying Body in advance, just like him. In that case, she would be much safer in a duel, and it might even help her in attacking Life and Death realm in the future.
Murong Qingcheng shook her head, "Perhaps it's because I'm not suited for this Undying Body secret art. Demon race and human race are not the same race after all. So, the method of cultivating the Undying Body should be different as well."
"That's true."
Ye Chen felt that it was a pity.
Murong Qingcheng could sense Ye Chen's care, so she tightened her grip on his hand and leaned her head on his shoulder. The combination of the two seemed to be a bit sudden, but only they knew that it was a natural result. It was as if there was a red string that had brought them together.
Inside the tunnel, the blue flame line flashed at a high speed. Once it realized that there was someone in front of it, the blue flame line suddenly dropped down and condensed into a human figure.
It was Yan Fengfeng.
"You two!"
Yan Fengfeng revealed a faint smile.
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng separated from each other, but their hands were still holding each other's. "Sister Yan, did you get any treasures?"
Yan Fengfeng shrugged, "Treasures are not that easy to get. But, I did not have much hope, since I had already gotten a semi extreme rank armor out there. You two, on the other hand, are quite comfortable hiding here and kissing each other? Did I disturb you?"
Ye Chen said helplessly, "We are not that free. We had just beaten away Xia Houzun, and Murong was wounded badly as well."
"Beat away Xia Houzun?" It was only then that Yan Fengfeng realized that the tunnel looked like it had been hit by a meteor. There were holes everywhere, and Murong Qingcheng's face was extremely pale as well. It was indeed the aftermath of a huge battle.
She was shocked at Ye Chen's battling power. She knew quite a bit about his power. Although she had not suffered much inside the valley, but Ye Chen had not used all of his power either. If he had used all of his power, she would not have been able to escape in one piece. But, since Ye Chen was able to beat away Xia Houzun, he had obviously wounded him a little. Otherwise, with his prideful attitude, he would not have been able to leave in such a bad shape.
"The palace will only exist for three days. Then, I will not disturb you anymore!"
Inside the maze tunnel, it would not be a good thing to have too many people. If they ran into a great weapon, they would not be able to handle it, since there would not be three of them. Being able to get one would already be very lucky.
"Alright, you be careful!"
Ye Chen nodded.
After separating from Yan Fengfeng, Ye Chen did not rush to look for treasures. In fact, after getting the armor, he had nothing else to ask for.
…
Three days passed quickly, and everyone was transported out of the palace. Soon, the massive palace disappeared from everyone's sight.
From everyone's regretful expression, it was easy to tell that most of them had come out empty-handed. Only a small portion of them had gotten some weapons. As for whether they were demi extreme rank weapons or not, it would be hard to tell. After all, no one would purposely reveal that they had gotten a demi extreme rank weapon just to show off. After all, it would be like telling everyone that they were a piece of fat meat.
"Huh!"
Xia Houzun glanced at Ye Chen with a cold look before turning into a beam of gold light and shooting into the distance, which confused everyone else.
Among the top five young warriors, Bai Wuxue and Lu Shaoyou seemed to be thinking about something. They had glanced at Xia Houzun just then, and although he was not wounded, his qi had weakened a lot, which was very unusual. What was even more unusual was that Xia Houzun seemed to be very hostile toward Ye Chen.
Taking back his sight, Bai Wuxue said with a light voice, "Our position as the top five young warriors is starting to get unstable. I have a very strong feeling about this."
Lu Shaoyou touched his sword handle and said coldly, "The position is given by oneself, and no one can take it away from you. Since when did you, Bai Wuxue, start to say such depressing things?"
"Hehe."
Bai Wuxue chuckled but did not say anything.
On the other side, Ye Chen did not care about Xia Houzun's sneer before he left. For him, this kind of hostility was meaningless. What he wanted to do was to beat him every time he came, to make him give up completely. Although it was cruel, there was no other way. If he did not want to lose, then he would have to make him lose.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen said goodbye to Yan Fengfeng before flying toward the east with Murong Qingcheng.
…
In the next half a month, besides Xia Houzun who had left the fourth level world first, the rest of them were all trying their best to find weapons. This kind of opportunity did not come often, and it would only happen once a year. If they wanted to use it once, they would have to wait for four years.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Inside the massive basin, Ye Chen was battling with a treasure qi lifeform. It was only one meter and seventy centimeters tall, and its body was like a perfect diamond, without a single flaw. As it moved, that rich treasure qi turned into a sky-tearing light column, attacking toward Ye Chen.
"Thunder Devour!"
Ye Chen waved his hand, and a silver lightning appeared on his thunder disaster sword. It was bound together and did not spread out, instead seeming to form into a ball shape.
After battling with Xia Houzun, Ye Chen had a vague understanding of the thunder profound, and he started to use one sword to perform the Thunder Devour. But obviously, one sword would not be as good as two swords, which could easily perform the Thunder Devour, but one sword would have a hard time. Within ten times, he had only managed to form half a thunder ball once. But, what surprised Ye Chen was that even though he had only formed half a thunder ball, its power was already equivalent to the Thunder Devour performed with two swords. It was not hard to imagine that once he performed the perfect Thunder Devour with one sword, its power would be way beyond that of two swords.
With a height of one meter and seventy centimeters, the treasure qi lifeform was very powerful. It might not be any weaker than Xia Houzun, who had used all of his ace attacks. It would be perfect for training.
Of course, only Ye Chen would dare to use this lifeform as a training target. If it were anyone else, even the top five young warriors, they would not dare to do so, because they did not have an immortal body. After a long battle, they would eventually get wounded, and the wounds would accumulate into serious wounds. If the serious wounds accumulated, then death would be the only outcome for them. On the other hand, the treasure qi lifeform would not die unless it was mortally wounded, since it could train all of the natural qi in the world to repair itself.
On the other side, Murong Qingcheng sat on a huge rock with her legs crossed. She was adjusting her breathing while watching Ye Chen train. She was not surprised at all that he was doing. She only smiled gently, because she knew that her boyfriend was very powerful. His potential seemed to be endless. He was obviously a human, but he was like a monster. In the near future, he might become the sword king or the number one sword emperor. Perhaps, the sword emperor was not even his ultimate goal.
As for her before, she did not have much ambition. But after spending some time with Ye Chen, she understood that it would be impossible to have no ambition. It would not be long before Ye Chen would leave her far behind and reach another level. Therefore, if she wanted to be with him, she would have to follow his footsteps and grow stronger together.
Boom!
The ground shook.
Ye Chen threw out a sword attack toward that lifeform that was still trying to move. This sword attack had formed into half a silver thunder ball, which landed heavily on the lifeform's chest.
It was like a crazy thunder attack had hit its body. The treasure qi outside of the lifeform's body started to shatter, and its body started to dim.
"Triple Chop!"
With the Spiritual Sword as the lead, Ye Chen's three sword attacks landed on the lifeform's head.
Swoosh!
A head flew into the air.
Huff!
Breathing heavily, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'Unfortunately, there is no yuan qi in this place. If I continue to fight, my zhen yuan will be completely used up. I can only shatter it. Otherwise, my thunder devour should be able to reach the next level.'
Using one sword to perform the thunder devour, Ye Chen could already form half a thunder ball. Compared to the beginning, he had improved a lot.
…
In a flash, half a month had passed, and the fourth floor was about to close.
Whether it was the fourth floor, the third floor, or the second floor, all of the young geniuses went down to the next floor. If they did not leave, they would be locked in there for eleven months, and it would only open next year. Only the first floor was open all year round, so there was no need to worry about time.
Outside the tower, a large number of people poured out.
"Haha, this trip was not in vain. I got two top rank weapons. It seems like this year is my lucky year."
"My luck is not bad either. I got a top rank long whip."
Whip weapons were very rare. Although top rank long whips were not as powerful as demi extreme rank weapons, their rarity was not that low, since whips were special weapons after all.
"You guys are lucky this time. In the third floor, someone got a whole set of top rank weapons."
"What? A whole set of top rank weapons? That is even more precious than normal demi extreme rank weapons. It can increase both defense and attack."
"Why would we lie to you? It is her." One of them pointed at Jing Aoxuan.
"Should we rob it?"
Some of them looked unfriendly.
"I suggest you guys give up on that idea. She seems to know Ye Chen."
Just as they were about to make their move, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng came out. The two flew toward Jing Aoxuan and Li Xiaoyun. Seeing this, one of them reminded everyone.
Cold sweat poured out of them as they secretly felt lucky.
