"If I consume this Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit, my Spirit Body will definitely rise to the Fourth Grade. However, it's a pity."
The spirit body of a half-step King was at the fourth step, which was the key to becoming a half-step King. Ye Chen naturally did not have a fourth step spirit body. Back then, he had used the Dragon Blood Grass to raise his spirit body to the third step. During that time, his spirit body had basically not improved much, and was only at the mid third step. Since this Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit could raise the spirit body of a half-step King by half a step, then it would naturally be able to raise Ye Chen's spirit body by one step or even close to it. Going from the third step to the fourth step was almost guaranteed.
However, the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit was something that could only be chanced upon and not sought. Using it now was truly a pity. If he could wait until his spirit body reached the mid or peak fourth step, he would be able to reach the fifth step immediately, which would be even more valuable than the third step. It should be known that the fifth step spirit body was the average standard of Life and Death Kings. In fact, when one first entered Life and Death Realm, their spirit body would still be at the fourth step. Without any external help, it would be extremely difficult to reach the fifth step by relying on one's own efforts. It would take at least dozens of years, or even a hundred years of effort.
After thinking for a while, Ye Chen decided to wait until his cultivation base reached the peak of late Sea of Soul realm. At that time, if his spirit body was still at the third step, he would eat the fruit.
"Let's go up!"
Qing Liu saw Ye Chen got the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit and said.
Glug glug glug …
Golden bubbles appeared on the surface of the magma lake, and soon, two figures broke out of the water.
When he came up, Ye Chen realized that the Armored King and the Punish King had both disappeared. The remaining people were less than half of the original number. These people did not expect that the one who would get the fruit would be Qing Liu and Ye Chen. Their eyes were all shining with excitement.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself."
Qing Liu reminded these people.
"Haha, not at all."
Some people recalled the gloomy expressions of the Punishment King and the Armored King when they left and immediately knew what was going on. Since the Punishment King and the Armored King had suffered a loss, they wouldn't dare to steal the Sky Demon Fire Spirit Fruit.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen did not care about these people as he walked up with Qing Liu, Murong and the rest.
…
In front of the White Sheep King's graveyard, the Thunder Spirit King sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting patiently. Behind him, more and more people rushed over from time to time.
About an hour later, Ye Chen's group of five arrived.
"I'll get the door."
Ye Chen glanced at Thunder Spirit King, Punishment King and the others before he walked towards the entrance of the tomb.
"The third key is with this kid?"
Punish King frowned. Adding in Ye Chen, three of the four keys were in the hands of this youngster. Furthermore, Ye Chen's strength made him extremely apprehensive.
"Haha, not bad. You didn't make me wait too long."
Thunder Spirit King stood up.
Creak!
As Ye Chen inserted the key, the gate of Aries King's Graveyard opened.
With a swoosh, Thunder Spirit King was the first to enter.
"White Sheep King is good at illusion, we should be careful." Qing Liu walked over.
Ye Chen nodded. "As long as we don't separate, there shouldn't be any problems."
…
Just as Qing Liu had said, Aries King's graveyard was filled with all kinds of illusion arrays. Some were used to trap people, some could cause illusions, and some could even lead people astray.
Ye Chen and Qing Liu had the highest strength, and their soul power was also the most powerful. Although the illusion array had an effect on them, it was negligible. Murong Qingcheng had the perfect demonic blood vessel, which gave her a powerful illusion immunity, so she was fine as well. As for Yan Fengfeng and Sun Tianlang, they suffered a bit. The former fell into an illusion once, and saw the people around her as enemies. The latter was, after all, a half step King, and could restrain herself.
…
"Finally, I've obtained a space profound martial skill!"
In a secret room, Thunder Spirit King held a jade strip in his hand as he laughed heartily.
Although he was one of the 'strongest' half step Kings, there were two others who were equally famous as him. There was no one who didn't wish to be a bit more powerful and comprehend a bit more profound. Moreover, although half step King and Life and Death Realm seemed to only be separated by a thin line, it was actually an abyss. Without an opportunity, one would never be able to step into it in their lifetime. Before that, he had to make ample preparations to attack Life and Death Realm.
"With this space profound martial skill, my stagnant strength will certainly improve again, and I'll have an opportunity to attack Life and Death Realm. Seems like the heavens are still taking care of me."
Carefully putting away the jade strip, Thunder Spirit King left the secret room with a happy mood.
…
When Ye Chen's group entered White Sheep King's graveyard, the hundred people following behind also entered Fire Bird King's graveyard. Unfortunately, not only did they not obtain any treasures, they were hunted down by four dangerous creatures, leaving not even their bones behind.
In a passage, two half step Kings were trapped in midair, unable to budge. What trapped them was an incorporeal spider web that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Even if one were to release their soul power, they would have to search over and over again in order to sense the slightest trace. Unfortunately, who would have thought that there would be a spider web in the passage? A moment of carelessness and they would be caught, losing control of their lives.
"Hehe! Another two. "
Shadow Ghost Bat King didn't speak any nonsense. It bit the neck of a half step King and fiercely sucked his blood essence.
As for the other half step King, he became food for the two hunters and was brutally dismembered.
Licking his lips, Shadow Ghost Bat King threw away the dried corpse in his hand and said with an evil smile, "With our strength, we have no opponents here. I hope we can meet that person."
Shadow Ghost Bat King's pride was extremely strong, so he hated Thunder Spirit King who had humiliated him. Recalling the scene of him begging for mercy, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Swamp King said in a muffled voice, "He's very strong. It's best if we don't provoke him for now."
Just like Shadow Ghost Bat King, Swamp King was also beaten miserably by Thunder Spirit King. Only after killing enough half step Kings with great difficulty did his strength recover. Afterwards, his strength returned to its peak, and his frontal battle strength was already at the peak of half step Kings.
"I know what you're saying. I can feel that my strength has increased a lot."
Shadow Ghost Bat King was different from other creatures. Within a certain limit, as long as he absorbed enough blood essence, his strength could increase. Along the way, he had killed seven or eight half step Kings. His strength had long since surpassed his peak, reaching a new height. This was also the source of his confidence.
"Let's go!"
Shadow Ghost Bat King didn't say much and walked ahead.
…
In White Sheep King's graveyard, Ye Chen and the rest didn't have any harvest. After half a day, the five arrived before Sky Scorpio King's graveyard. Unexpectedly, the graveyard's entrance was already open. They wondered who had the fourth key. Was it a youngster?
Walking in the graveyard's passageway, Qing Liu said, "Sky Scorpio King is the strongest Demonic Beast King under Four Extreme Emperor. He's a rare demonic beast sword artist who likes to use swords. His sword arts realm is also very high. Back then, some even called him Sky Scorpio Sword King."
"Sky Scorpio King is a demonic beast sword artist who likes to collect swords. Perhaps there's a sword mound in his graveyard."
Sword mound meant a graveyard of swords. Some powerful Sword Kings would build a sword mound for their beloved swords in addition to their own graveyard before their death. Apart from their beloved swords, there were also many treasured swords in the sword mound.
"Sky Scorpio King is a sword artist?"
Ye Chen felt that it was very novel.
Qing Liu nodded, "Right, Sky Scorpio King's sword was also very famous at that time. It's called Sky Scorpio Sword. It's said that he forged it himself, using supreme grade materials. Some of them can't even be found on True Spirit Continent, and can only be found on some planets in the starry sky. Because some planets contain special energy, his Sky Scorpio Sword also inherited this energy, greatly increasing its destructive power. It's much more powerful than ordinary supreme grade swords. Of course, I'm only guessing. Perhaps Sky Scorpio King won't build a sword mound."
"Let's hope we're lucky!"
The Battle King's sword in Ye Chen's storage ring was also a supreme grade sword, but it was damaged and didn't have a trace of power. Forging it again would be meaningless. However, the damaged Battle King's sword also had value. If Ye Chen wanted to forge a sword, he could extract some useful materials from the damaged sword, saving him a lot of effort.
Sky Scorpio King's graveyard was the largest among the four Demonic Beast Kings. After walking for half a day, the five still hadn't reached the end.
"Eh? There is sword qi! "
Ye Chen, who was walking in front, suddenly frowned as he tried to sense it carefully.
"Are there sword artists battling?"
Qing Liu asked.
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, "No, this sword qi is different from the sword qi that was shot out. It is the qi of the sword, and there are many kinds of them."
Ye Chen was a sword artist, so he was very sensitive to sword qi.
"It might be the location of the sword grave."
Qing Liu's eyes brightened.
"Follow me."
With the subtle feeling of the sword qi, Ye Chen led the way in the front.
After a few turns, Ye Chen and the other four unknowingly arrived in front of a massive stone door. The door was half opened, and countless kinds of sword qi leaked out, cutting the air.
"It is indeed the sword grave."
Qing Liu said with certainty.
"Someone has already entered."
Ye Chen glanced at the half opened door, flashed his body and flew in.
"So many swords."
Once the five entered, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them. Yan Fengfeng and Murong Qingcheng even lifted up their heads, their mouths wide open.
In their sight, there were swords everywhere. Inside the sword grave, there were all kinds of swords. There were swords stuck in the low places, and there were also swords stuck in the high places. Every few steps, there would be a sword stuck in the ground. Looking over, there was no end to the sword grave at all.
"This is a low rank great sword!"
Ye Chen touched one of the swords on the outside and said.
Murong Qingcheng said strangely, "After tens of thousands of years, the low rank great swords should not be able to survive. How come the swords here do not seem to be damaged at all?"
Ye Chen said, "If I have guessed it right, after the passage of time, the swords in the sword grave had already sensed each other and could use sword qi to nourish each other, and the other would also use sword qi to nourish each other. There are thousands of swords here, thousands of sword qi lingering around, which had become the best nourishment for these swords. Therefore, after tens of thousands of years, the swords here have become sharper instead of damaged."
Yan Fengfeng said, "Perhaps there really is the Sky Scorpio Sword here. Let's go look for it."
"It does not seem easy. These swords have the same qi, and they seem to be hiding their qi." Murong Qingcheng looked around, but could not see anything.
Ye Chen smiled, "You are right. The swords have their own spirits, and will not release their qi in public. Therefore, if we want to find a good sword, we would have to understand it very well and have a pair of sharp eyes. Alright, I would like to see if I can find the Sky Scorpio Sword among these thousands of swords."
