"Finally, I can forge a mid grade sword."
Right now, Ye Chen could forge a supreme low grade sword with his eyes closed. Even if he couldn't say that he had reached the pinnacle of the sword forging art, he was at least at the point of perfection, and could casually make one.
After preparing the mid grade materials, Ye Chen immediately began forging.
A week later, the first mid grade sword was forged.
This mid grade sword was a meter long with a dark blue hilt. The sword body flickered with a cold light and was suffused with strands of flames. Pouring in a strand of Zhen Yuan, a foot-long flaming sword light shot out with a sizzling sound.
The effect of a good foundation had arrived. This fire attribute mid grade sword was not low grade, but mid grade. It should be known that the first low grade sword that Ye Chen had forged was low grade. The difficulty of forging a mid grade sword was more than double or triple. It was at least five times more difficult.
"A sword forged by me in a year is enough for any seventh grade sect to not have to worry about a lack of swords."
Ye Chen smiled and muttered to himself.
"But a seventh grade sect doesn't have a half-step King, nor does it have someone who is both a half-step King and a legendary swordsmith."
Murong Qingcheng descended from the crater.
"That's true."
Ye Chen faintly nodded. A seventh grade sect producing a half-step King was already a miracle, and this half-step King was a legendary swordsmith. This was no longer a miracle, but a legend. However, after thinking about it, he seemed to fit both criteria. Weren't Sky Cloud Sect and Ye family both seventh grade powers?
"How is your cultivation?" Ye Chen asked.
Murong Qingcheng said, "Dark Devour reached perfection a week ago. I've been cultivating Demonic Fist this week."
"Not bad."
Dark Devour wasn't a high grade profound martial skill, but only a peak mid grade profound martial skill. However, due to the dark profound's innate tyrannical nature, cultivating it to perfection would have a significant effect on Murong Qingcheng's strength. Most importantly, with the Dark Devour as a transition, her dark profound would have a huge improvement. Next, she would be able to create a high grade profound martial skill.
As for the Demons' Demonic Fist, this fist art's potential was enormous. With its initial comprehension, Murong Qingcheng was able to injure the Darklight King. One could well imagine how powerful it would be once it reached greater completion. It would not be inferior to the majority of high grade profound martial skills.
Just like the previous two months, the two of them chatted for a while and then went their separate ways to do their own things.
At the Sea of Soul realm, one would have a lifespan of three hundred years, which was equivalent to ten lifetimes of an ordinary person.
Forging mid grade swords was much more difficult than forging low grade swords, and the efficiency was also lower. Even after mastering it, one could only forge five or six mid grade swords a day.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had a lot of patience. Compared to sword forgers at Condensing Reality or Clasping Yuan Realm, his efficiency was astonishing. The higher one's cultivation base, the faster one could do anything. Just like sharpening the edge of a mid grade sword, there was no need to go through so much trouble. A single stroke of a finger on the blade would make it sharper than anything else.
"Low rank great swords can only contain a limited amount of sword intent, and the increase in power is limited as well. Mid rank great swords are indeed different. I wonder if I can create a high rank or super rank upper rank great sword, will its power reach the semi extreme rank? It should be possible!"
Fifth step Destruction Sword Intent and fourth step Immortal Sword Intent were so powerful that they could contain a single wisp of them. If it were any other half-step King, they would not be able to accomplish such a feat. This was because their sword intent was not as high grade as Ye Chen's, nor was it as powerful as Ye Chen's. Even if they used special methods to seal it in their swords, it would be far inferior to Ye Chen's. On the contrary, it would take a lot of time and effort.
…
While Ye Chen was forging mid grade swords, a person was looking for them. This person was none other than the black-robed old man who had been heavily injured by Mysterious Yin King in the Mysterious Yin Tower.
The black-robed old man's arm had been chopped off by Mysterious Yin King, and his heart had also suffered a blow, losing several hundred years of cultivation base. Fortunately, the Chaotic Demon Ocean's demonic human clan had many heavenly treasures. After spending a few months, he had completely recovered his cultivation base, returning his strength to its peak.
As soon as his cultivation base recovered, the black-robed old man immediately returned to Richlight Oceanspan, searching for traces of Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng.
A few days ago, he had arrived at Gemstone Islands and heard the news of Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng flying south. Thus, he chased after them.
"I didn't expect this kid to be able to kill even Darklight King. His ability is not small. However, he can forget about escaping from me no matter how powerful he is."
The black-robed old man sneered.
Swish!
The black-robed old man broke through space and flew in the void. Every ten thousand miles, he would come out and release his boundless soul force. Everything within a ten thousand mile radius was under his control. Not even the slightest movement of a blade of grass could escape his senses.
After half a day, the black-robed old man creased his brows, "Could it be that they changed their direction? Or did they fly south without stopping?"
Every time he appeared, he would be a hundred thousand li away, which was hundreds of times faster than a half-step King's flying speed. Half a day was equivalent to two hundred days of searching for half-step Kings. If he couldn't find them, there could only be two reasons. One was that they had changed their direction, and the other was that they were still ahead.
"I don't believe you can escape to anywhere!"
Plop!
The black-robed old man once again shattered the space and disappeared.
…
"I've finally forged a supreme mid grade sword!"
Inside the volcano, Ye Chen was holding a golden sword and carefully examining it.
This sword's hilt was purple-gold, and its body was slender and golden. On both sides of the sword's ridge, exquisite patterns spread out, giving the sword a trace of nobility and sharpness. It was as if a great general had personally arrived on the battlefield, brimming with a king's aura and killing intent.
Swoosh!
Holding the sword, Ye Chen slashed at the lava lake in front of him, creating a few meters deep and one foot wide gully. The sword Qi's remaining power did not dissipate as it unexpectedly broke through the volcano's wall and rushed out of the volcano. The sharp sword light seemed indestructible.
"As I expected, this sword's power is already equivalent to a mid grade high grade sword."
The golden sword contained the immortal sword intent, which made the sword's body sturdier than any mid grade sword, capable of clashing head-on with a high grade sword. Meanwhile, the sword Qi was indestructible and extremely hard to destroy. This was the power of the immortal sword intent. The destruction sword intent focused on destructive power, while the immortal sword intent focused on the body's tenacity. Just like Ye Chen, the destruction sword intent focused on killing while the immortal sword intent focused on suppressing the body. One inside and one outside, perfectly coordinated.
"Next, I'll focus on raising the quality of the mid grade sword. I'll try to increase the success rate of forging a supreme mid grade sword to over thirty percent."
Currently, Ye Chen had thirty percent chance of forging a mid grade sword, forty percent chance of forging a high grade sword, and less than ten percent chance of forging a supreme grade sword. This was the only successful sword, and also the one that Ye Chen was most satisfied with.
"I'll call you Army Destroyer!"
Extending his right index finger, Ye Chen carved two ancient characters on the sword. With his half step king level cultivation and two great sword intents, carving words on a mid grade sword was as easy as eating or drinking. Moreover, under his control, this kind of carving would not damage the sword's quality.
And, Army Destroyer was the first sword he had named after.
Casually throwing Army Destroyer into his storage ring, Ye Chen continued forging mid grade swords. He planned to leave Volcano Island with Murong Qingcheng after learning mid grade Sword Forging Art to perfection. After all, he couldn't stay here forever. As for Sword Forging Art, he could continue learning it after reaching his destination.
Two days passed in a flash.
Ye Chen had successfully forged two supreme grade mid grade swords, with a success rate of nearly twenty percent. Of these two swords, one was of the thunder attribute, containing the Destruction Sword Intent, and the other was of the water attribute, containing the Immortal Sword Intent. The might of the thunder attribute had already surpassed the Army Destroyer, while the water attribute was slightly inferior.
"Eh? Why do I have a bad premonition? "
Suddenly, Ye Chen raised his head. The sky outside the volcano was only the size of a washbasin. White clouds were slowly drifting, and a light breeze was blowing.
Tens of thousands of li away, a black-robed old man appeared from the void.
As usual, he released his soul power, covering the surrounding hundred thousand li. However, the black-robed old man didn't have much hope.
Soundlessly, his soul power swept across the volcanic island tens of thousands of miles away.
"Haha!"
Suddenly, the black-robed old man laughed heartily.
Two people lived on the island, a man and a woman. Who else could they be if not Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng?
"Let's see where you can run this time."
The black-robed old man tore open the space and entered the void.
"Not good! It's a Life and Death King!"
Inside the volcano, Ye Chen's expression changed drastically. His soul power was at the same level as a Life and Death King. Sensing the black-robed old man's soul power, Ye Chen also sensed the existence of this soul power. The silver vertical eye on his forehead that had just opened closed. At this moment, there was no need to use his soul eye. The newcomer was clearly a Life and Death King, and eighty percent likely didn't come with good intentions.
Rumble!
A huge hole appeared on the volcano, and Ye Chen flew out.
"Murong, run!"
Ye Chen shouted at Murong Qingcheng, who was not far away.
"Run?"
Seeing Ye Chen's grave expression, Murong Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat. Something that could make Ye Chen's expression change couldn't be anything good.
Demonic Qi surged as a pair of huge black bat wings unfolded behind Murong Qingcheng. Her figure flickered as she tore through the sky, and Ye Chen followed behind her.
"You think you can run?"
The island's weather changed. Unknowingly, a revolving energy barrier had covered the entire island like an upside-down bowl.
Peng! Murong Qingcheng's fist landed on the energy barrier, stirring up ripples, but was unable to break it open.
"Bewitching Mirror Shattering!"
Unsheathing the Evil Vanquishing Sword, Ye Chen used all of his trump cards and forcefully slammed them on the energy barrier.
Bewitching Mirror Shattering contained space profound, and had the innate property of breaking through barriers. It unexpectedly distorted the energy barrier, creating a faintly discernible gap.
Just as the two were about to rush out …
"You actually know space profound sword moves!" The black-robed old man was startled. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, he couldn't compare to Ye Chen in terms of profound martial skills.
"What a pity, it's futile!"
The black-robed old man made a grabbing motion in the void, and the distorted energy barrier mended, rapidly strengthening to a meter thick.
