"Sword Domain is truly too powerful. If a sword artist didn't have a Sword Domain, fighting them would simply be courting death. Only two sword artists with Sword Domains could put up a fight."
Everybody held their breaths. For them, such a confrontation between peak sword artists was something they might not even get to see once in their lifetime. After all, in the whole of Elysium, sword artists with Sword Domains were few and far between.
Everybody was paying close attention to this battle, and Marquis Sword Star and Lu Shaoyou were even more so. Although watching Sword Domains being used wouldn't allow them to grasp how to create Sword Domains, knowing a little was better than knowing nothing.
Swish!
While activating Sword Domains, the two retreated and cautiously looked at each other.
"With Sword Domain, killing moves are meaningless. It would only be a waste of Zhen Yuan." Marquis Sword Snow furrowed his brows as he pondered on how to defeat Ye Chen.
"Sword Domains can counteract each other, but only by more than half. The remaining half is enough to affect sword trajectories." Just a moment ago, Ye Chen could feel that his Sword Domain had been somewhat suppressed. Of course, his opponent must have felt the same.
"Seems like I can only test the limits of Sword Domain."
Ye Chen hadn't fought against a sword artist with Sword Domain before. Therefore, he wasn't clear about the details of Sword Domain. This was an opportunity for him to fully understand Sword Domain.
The two confronted each other for a moment.
Suddenly …
The two charged forward at the same time.
Sword out!
Chi Chi Chi Chi …
A comical yet not funny scene occurred. The two were like toddlers who had just learned how to raise their swords. No matter how they stabbed, they couldn't reach each other. No matter how they slashed, they couldn't reach each other. Their speed was very accurate. From top grade, they were reduced to second grade.
Intense Sword Qi randomly circulated in the two's Sword Domains and then leaked out.
"Spiritual Sword!"
The Evil Shattering Sword waved, and hundreds of cold stars shot toward Marquis Sword Snow.
"Snow Dance in the Sky!"
Marquis Sword Snow had also thought of this point. Thus, he used Snow Dance in the Sky, which had the widest range. Immediately, sky-filling snowflakes danced and surged toward Ye Chen.
Chi!
A strand of Ye Chen's long hair was cut off by the ice-cold Sword Qi, and cold air spread everywhere.
A faint trace of blood appeared on Marquis Sword Snow's cheek, and a drop of blood rolled down.
"I see."
Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
Sword Domain had a limit. Everything had a limit. Without a limit, even a Life and Death Sword King without a Sword Domain could be killed. As long as one launched a sufficient number of attacks in an instant, the Sword Domain would be overwhelmed, and a loophole would appear. It was like catching fish. If one caught too many fish, there would always be fish that slipped through the net.
Of course, it was mainly because their Sword Domains weren't strong enough, and they'd only developed a trace of the Sword Laws. If the Sword Laws were extremely formidable, then it was still unknown whether it would be effective.
Besides that, this was related to their Sword Domains cancelling each other out.
If it was a swordsman without a Sword Domain, it would be useless even if he launched ten times more attacks in an instant.
Because this was a battle between Sword Domains.
"Spiritual Sword, double!"
With the Evil Shattering Sword in his right hand and the Blood Ruin Sword in his left, Ye Chen used Spiritual Sword at the same time. Double the number of cold stars shot toward Marquis Sword Snow.
"Not good!"
Marquis Sword Snow no longer exchanged blows with Ye Chen, and instead focused on defense. The sky-filling snowflakes converged around him, forming a flawless snowflake barrier that resisted Ye Chen's Spiritual Sword.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! The snowflakes contained compressed sword Qi, and as soon as the cold stars struck them, the snowflakes exploded. For a moment, Ye Chen couldn't do anything to Marquis Sword Snow, and the two were in a deadlock.
"Marquis Sword Snow is being suppressed!"
"But Ye Chen can't break through Marquis Sword Snow's defense either! Could it be a draw? "
Everybody communicated with each other through soul transmissions.
Ha!
The snowflake barrier exploded, blasting away all of Ye Chen's attacks.
After pulling away, Marquis Sword Snow floated in the air and expanded his Sword Domain, covering the entire chamber. In the next moment, eerie white longswords appeared in the air. At a glance, there were at least several thousand of them.
Sword Domain Attack!
As long as one was within the range of the Sword Domain, one couldn't escape its attack.
"Very well, let's see whose Sword Domain is stronger!"
Ye Chen also floated in the air, and several thousand azure longswords appeared in front of him. Their tips flickered with a cold light, emitting a dense sword intent.
"Sword Domain Confrontation!"
Everybody's eyes widened!
Fine air-piercing sounds rang out as thousands of white longswords and azure longswords shot out at the same time, colliding like two meteor showers.
Crack! Crack!
At every moment, dozens of white longswords and green longswords would disappear, and at every moment, new white longswords and green longswords would be born.
The intensity of the battle had already surpassed everybody's imagination.
"Split!"
Ye Chen squinted his eyes, and hundreds of azure longswords flew out, arcing toward Marquis Sword Snow from the side.
"Block for me!"
Marquis Sword Snow controlled hundreds of white longswords to block.
"Split again!"
Ye Chen simultaneously sent out five batches of azure longswords, attacking Marquis Sword Snow from five different angles.
"What a powerful soul power!"
Everybody exclaimed in admiration. Simultaneously controlling five batches of azure longswords required an enormous amount of soul power. However, on second thought, Ye Chen could perfectly multitask, so it was not strange at all.
"Block again!"
Marquis Sword Snow's expression turned grave and stern. Five batches of white longswords flew out, clashing with the azure longswords.
"This Marquis Sword Snow's soul power is not weak either. It should be two to three times stronger than ordinary people."
Normally, people with a high comprehensive ability would have a very powerful soul power, which was even more powerful than normal people. For example, Ye Chen's soul power was five times more powerful than normal people's, which meant that his comprehensive ability was very high. Although he had not traveled to this world in the past fourteen years, which was why he started later than the others, in terms of profound sense understanding, he had still surpassed the others.
"Let's see how you block this time!"
Ye Chen instantly sent out ten batches of azure longswords, attacking Marquis Sword Snow from ten different angles. The beautiful arcs and orderly arrangement displayed Ye Chen's control over the longswords.
"His soul power is so much stronger than mine?"
Marquis Sword Snow's brows creased, and his soul power suddenly erupted.
Soul Amplification Secret Art!
In terms of soul power, there were offensive secret arts and defensive secret arts. Naturally, there were amplification secret arts as well. Comparatively speaking, amplification secret arts were much rarer, and their value was several times that of offensive and defensive secret arts. This was because once one's soul was amplified, using offensive and defensive secret arts would be equivalent to raising one's soul power to a whole new level.
With the amplification of his soul power, Marquis Sword Snow's control over the white longswords immediately became more skillful. Ten batches of white longswords flew out, intercepting Ye Chen's azure longswords.
"Freaks! Two freaks!"
Many people sucked in a breath of cold air and cursed inwardly.
In his line of sight, ten batches of white longswords and ten batches of cyan longswords seemed to be fighting each other. In other words, it was equivalent to two people each controlling ten people and using different methods to fight. How terrifying was this control?
"Oh, a soul amplification secret art!"
Ye Chen could see that Marquis Sword Snow's soul power had increased to the same level as his. There was no longer any gap between them.
"Unfortunately, the amplified soul power still exceeds your limit. I'm already used to such a huge soul power, so I don't feel the slightest burden."
As this thought flashed in his mind, the ten batches of azure longswords under Ye Chen's control gradually became more and more exquisite. Stabbing, chopping, and even upward slashing … Although they were only simple moves, they were extremely fast, without the slightest delay. On the other hand, the white longswords on Marquis Sword Snow's side were much more rigid.
If Marquis Sword Snow's ten batches of white longswords were like ten second rate sword artists, then Ye Chen's ten azure longswords were like ten first rate sword artists. The difference was a whole level.
Ding Ding Dang Dang!
The white longswords under Marquis Sword Snow's control were completely routed, and the azure longswords were about to reach him.
"I can't lose!"
Marquis Sword Snow's will was firm. He was not afraid of losing, but if he could avoid losing, then he would not lose. Which genius didn't wish to be unrivaled all the way?
Sometimes, a single thought could decide one's life.
"Soul Secret Sword!"
His gaze pierced through the countless longswords and landed on Ye Chen's body. An incorporeal, colorless, and shadowless soul sword appeared on his forehead and shot toward Ye Chen.
Soul attack secret art!
Moreover, it was a soul attack secret art executed after soul amplification.
The spectators sensed a peculiar soul ripple. How could they not know that Marquis Sword Snow had used a soul attack to defeat Ye Chen?
Of course, nobody said anything.
Soul attack was still an attack, and it was not some despicable method. On the contrary, in the Life and Death realm, the soul's function became increasingly important. One could choose not to focus on soul, but one's accomplishments in soul could not be too weak.
"I want to injure the opponent's soul and defeat him in one move."
Marquis Sword Star guessed Marquis Sword Snow's intention. Generally speaking, in a battle of the same level, soul attacks would find it difficult to destroy the soul of a half-step King. This was because half-step Kings would have a soul membrane around their soul, and the higher the realm, the stronger the membrane. Apart from that, martial will and sword will both had defensive properties against soul attacks. Therefore, even if the opponent didn't cultivate soul secret arts, it would be impossible to kill the opponent with soul attacks.
Soul was only a support. Although it was very important, it could hardly kill the opponent in one move.
The speed of the soul attack was extremely fast, surpassing any energy or material attack. It was about to reach Ye Chen's body.
"Soul Light!"
Ye Chen couldn't allow the soul sword to hit him. After all, this amplified soul sword might even injure his soul.
Puff!
A silver vertical eye opened on his forehead and shot out a soul beam, colliding with the soul sword.
How could the soul sword be the opponent of Ye Chen's innate ability? After all, Marquis Sword Snow's soul had been amplified to the same level as Ye Chen's, and his control was even weaker. As soon as the two collided, the soul sword immediately disintegrated, and the much dimmer soul light charged into Marquis Sword Snow's Sea of Soul.
His face instantly paled, and his control over Sword Domain disappeared. Puff!
Puff!
A large number of cyan-colored swords shot out and brushed past Marquis Sword Snow's body, turning him into a bloody mist.
"How come he has a vertical eye?"
Many people noticed the eye on Ye Chen's forehead, which was very similar to the legends.
