"Ye Chen, I'll return to Demonic Blade Sect first. You be careful." Only Ye Chen and Lan Sanmei were left in Savage Mountain Range. Seeing that Ye Chen's Zhen Yuan had more or less recovered, Lan Sanmei bade farewell.
"Alright, if you need my help in the future, don't hesitate to ask." Stopping refining the Zhen Yuan crystal, Ye Chen said sincerely.
Lan Sanmei smiled, "Of course."
Not needing Ye Chen's help now didn't mean he wouldn't need it in the future.
Shua!
After speaking, Lan Sanmei turned into a black light and disappeared into the distance.
Watching Lan Sanmei's departing figure, Ye Chen turned his head and glanced in the direction of Sky Tiger Beast Master. He didn't know if it was his misconception, but during his battle with Giant Wolf King, he had a feeling that he was being watched. Moreover, it wasn't just one person. However, this feeling didn't carry any malice. In fact, one of them even gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Many thanks!"
Ye Chen muttered to himself and flew in the direction of Eternal Sky Sect.
…
Eternal Sky Sect, plaza in front of the palace …
Ye Chen landed.
"Supreme Elder!"
Eternal Sky Sect disciples greeted him one after another.
"Three months have passed, and Elder Ye has returned. I wonder what rank Supreme Elder is in the Life and Death Substitute List?"
Some disciples discussed in low voices.
"With Elder Ye's strength that easily defeated Linghu Yi, ranking in the top twenty shouldn't be a problem, perhaps even higher."
"I'm guessing top ten. Can't you see that Elder Ye's aura is countless times more frightening than three months ago?"
"Top twenty is more or less possible. As for top ten, I don't think it's possible. Not to mention our Blood Sky Continent's Eight Great Beast Lords and Four Demons, other continents also have shocking geniuses. How difficult would it be to enter the top ten?"
Ye Chen didn't conceal his aura at all. All the Sea of Soul realm experts of Eternal Sky Sect were alarmed. Whether they were in seclusion, cultivating, or drinking tea, they all flew out of their residences and arrived at the plaza.
"Elder Ye!"
"Congratulations on Elder Ye's return!"
The leader was Li Zhangfeng, the leader of the Changtian School.
Ye Chen smiled, "Has Zhang Tian Sect been well these past three months?"
Li Zhangfeng said, "Thanks to Elder Ye, no one has come to disturb us in the past three months. That spirit vein has almost been dug clean."
"That's good."
The three sects had suffered greatly, and they would not harass Changtian Sect while he was not here.
"Elder Ye, the Life and Death Secret Realm has already closed. With Elder Ye's strength, your ranking should be quite high, right?" Li Zhangfeng saw that Ye Chen's face didn't look gloomy at all, and that his aura had become several times more terrifying. He knew that Ye Chen's trip had been very smooth, so he dared to ask.
"You can say it's number one!"
"I'll go into seclusion for a few days."
With that, Ye Chen flew towards the mountain peak he was at.
Ye Chen left like a feather, but the people who heard his words were all shocked.
First place?
Wasn't that number one?
Hiss!
Everyone, including Li Zhangfeng, was stupefied.
Eight Young Beast Lords, four demons, peerless geniuses of other continents had all been defeated by Ye Chen. This was simply world-shaking news.
Changtian Sect flared up!
…
Returning to the mountain peak, Ye Chen immediately entered seclusion.
His cultivation base was indeed at the third layer of Life-and-Death Chamber, but he had yet to familiarize himself with this sudden increase in strength, and his foundation was not very stable either.
He had to enter seclusion for a few days to consolidate his current cultivation base.
Seven days passed in a flash.
Ye Chen smoothly exited seclusion.
"The third layer of Life-and-Death Chamber is indeed miraculous. I can vaguely sense the life and death cycle of heaven and earth, but it's very vague."
In Life-and-Death Chamber, one's body carried the aura of life and death. In fact, one had already come into contact with Life Dao and Death Dao, but could not grasp or use them.
Dugu Jue had grasped a trace of Death Dao, which allowed him to advance by leaps and bounds.
Marquis Sword Star's Star Meteor was also the same.
"No rush. I'll grasp both Life Dao and Death Dao, but not now. What I need to do now is forge upper grade swords."
Although his cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds, Ye Chen would not neglect his sword dao cultivation base.
The process of forging swords was also a process of self-reflection. Unceasing self-reflection, unceasing breakthroughs, an endless cycle.
…
In Life-and-Death Secret Realm, the news of Ye Chen's invincibility, eventually reaching the first rank of Life-and-Death Realm Substitute List spread throughout the three continents as well as overseas, shocking the whole world.
What shocked them was not Ye Chen's invincibility, but Ye Chen's youth. According to the young expert who brought back the news, Ye Chen was no more than thirty years old, the youngest among all of them.
Not even thirty years old, but the first rank of Life-and-Death Realm Substitute List!
Was this another Xuanhou?
No!
Ye Chen was Ye Chen, not anyone's shadow.
His invincibility came from the strength of his opponents. Marquis Sword Snow and Marquis Sword Star were both peerless geniuses in the past.
However, since they were in the same generation as Ye Chen, they were defeated.
As for who was the true first rank between Ye Chen and Xu Jing, there were still many disputes. However, such disputes were meaningless. The two were lovers, and their future would shock the whole world.
Elysium shook the whole world!
Blood Sky Continent was shaken.
Giant Wolf King was defeated! White Wolf Sect's Supreme Elder Giant Wolf King was defeated!
The one who defeated him was neither a Life and Death King nor a Beast King, but a young man at the third layer of Life-and-Death Chamber. That young man was precisely the first rank of Life-and-Death Realm Substitute List.
Defeating Giant Wolf King at the third layer of Life-and-Death Chamber was an accomplishment that no one had achieved in the past several tens of thousands of years. Perhaps Xuanhou could also defeat ordinary Life and Death Kings at the same level with a supreme grade artifact, but it had never happened. And now, such a thing had happened.
Ye Chen's name thoroughly exploded in Blood Sky Continent.
That's right!
Indeed, it exploded.
Blood Sky Continent also had the Pavilion of Knowledge. Perhaps, it wouldn't be long before Ye Chen's name spread in other continents as well.
Just like Xuanhou's name back then, everyone knew about him.
…
"Ye Chen, are you sure it's him?"
In an underground palace, three blood shadows were standing in a triangle. The blood shadow with the strongest aura spoke to the blood shadow with a curved horn on his head.
The blood shadow with a curved horn nodded, "According to the description, it's eighty to ninety percent accurate."
"Eternal Sky Sect hasn't been destroyed for five hundred years. It's a bit strange. Don't touch him for the time being." After a moment of silence, the leading blood shadow said.
"Are we just going to let him go like this?"
The blood winged female blood shadow was puzzled.
"Don't be impulsive. We don't have enough tenacious strength in this world. In fact, we've always been hiding in the shadows. Once we walk out of the darkness and stand in the sunlight, we'll lose our footing, which will arouse the vigilance of this world's experts. Of course, they've already sensed our existence."
The leading blood shadow said unhurriedly.
"This is a huge threat! Has he not grown up yet?"
The female blood shadow was unwilling.
"Don't worry, we won't let go of those who pose a threat. That Battle King is an example. However, not being able to kill that Xuanhou was a mistake and an irreparable regret. Let our representatives do the rest!"
"Those representatives are too weak. Although they can be considered as Life and Death experts in this world, they're just the lowest level experts."
"Hehe!" The leading blood shadow chuckled, "We can't control a powerful expert like Xuanhou. Being weak also has its advantages. It's not easy to arouse suspicion."
"Should we let the representatives kill him now?"
The blood shadow with a curved horn asked.
Faintly shaking her head, the leading blood shadow said, "Don't lose patience. I don't want to make another mistake. Moreover, we still have the most important thing to do, which is to unseal Lord Curse and Lord Terror. After unsealing them, we won't need to hide in the darkness anymore. We can breathe the air of this world openly."
"We've persevered for countless years, but those seals are too strong." The female blood shadow was a bit tired.
"No rush. At the slowest, it'll take a hundred years. At the fastest, it'll be unsealed in a few decades." The leading blood shadow was also somewhat silent.
Suddenly, the blood shadow with a curved horn spoke, "Perhaps we don't need to do anything. In this world, he has offended many powers." He was referring to Ye Chen.
The female blood shadow disdainfully said, "This world will never be united."
"Wrong, you're all wrong." The blood shadow in the lead solemnly said, "If this world is peaceful, that would be our fortune. Experts are tempered through slaughter. It's just like raising bugs. The strong will devour the weak, and the last strong will be able to make up for all the weak before them."
"Alright, Horned Devil, continue observing that human youngster. Don't act blindly without thinking."
"Yes!"
The blood shadow with a curved horn nodded.
"Meeting dismissed!"
The leading blood shadow scattered, seeming to have lost all of its power.
…
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of iron hammers striking metal rang out incessantly.
This was an underground flame cave, and a fiery aura surged. A young man was holding an iron hammer, striking the sword embryo on top of the furnace.
As the iron hammer struck, the sword embryo became sharper and more aggressive.
For a whole month, Ye Chen had been crafting top rank swords. He could feel that crafting swords was also a kind of training, a kind of training that would allow him to accumulate a lot of experience.
After who knew how many times, Ye Chen's mind was enlightened. He raised the iron hammer high, and his body emitted an immortal power as he hammered down.
Dang!
This hammering sound lasted for a long time. The sound seemed to contain immortality, never dissipating.
The unfinished sword below emitted an immortal power that far surpassed any of the swords that Ye Chen had forged. Once it was completed, its power could be imagined.
"Rank 5 Immortal Sword Soul, finally completed."
Putting down the iron hammer, Ye Chen's face showed a faint understanding.
Immortal, what was immortal?
In fact, immortality was just a kind of spirit.
It wasn't a concrete existence.
As the rank 5 Immortal Sword Soul formed, the Destruction Sword Soul in Ye Chen's mind trembled. The two great sword souls were at the same rank, finally resonating with each other — the resonance of Destruction and Immortality.
Under this resonance, Ye Chen's cultivation base suddenly reached perfection, reaching the peak of the third layer of life-and-death chamber.
