"My spirit body has already broken through to the fifth step, almost at the early fifth step. If I get another Blood Crystal Flower, my spirit body will at most reach the peak of the mid fifth step. Should I still take the risk to look for it?"
In the outskirts of Bloodlight Ocean, the chances of a Blood Crystal Flower appearing was very small, and mid-level Blood Demon Kings were not easy to run into. Moreover, the core of Bloodlight Ocean was too dangerous. Blood Demon Kings no longer appeared alone, but in groups. Even if Ye Chen had the Destruction Sword Intent, he would still have to flee if he met a group of low-level Blood Demon Kings. If he was unlucky, he would encounter a group of mid-level Blood Demon Kings or two or three high-level Blood Demon Kings. In normal circumstances, even peak Kings would not be willing to venture into the core of Bloodlight Ocean. After all, not everyone was like Ye Chen, who had the Destruction Intent that could restrain blood demons. One on one, they would not be able to kill a Blood Demon King of the same level. Moreover, according to the legends, there was a Blood Demon Emperor in the core of Bloodlight Ocean, an existence that even titled Monarchs feared.
"Forget it, the outskirts of Bloodlight Ocean are very big, and there is still some distance to the core. I'll go a bit deeper and try my luck." Ye Chen would not enter the core, but he did not want to give up.
…
In the endless void, a dot of sword light pierced through the air and headed toward the Blood Sky Continent.
"A little guy actually upgraded a sword artist's art to a heaven grade art. Moreover, the special ability he obtained is the Sword Domain, which is even rarer than the Sword Body. That's good too. If his sword dao talent is monstrous, then he doesn't need the supreme grade sword. But if his reputation is undeserved, then don't blame me."
Copper Sword King was not an idiot. He knew who he could offend and who he couldn't.
If Ye Chen had great potential and had the hope of becoming a peak-level King or even a titled Monarch, then it would be best not to offend him. Although he, Copper Sword King, also had a heaven grade cultivation technique with the special ability of Bronze Sword Body, he could only dominate mid-level Kings. Even if he obtained a supreme grade artifact sword, he could only contend against high-level Kings. Although a supreme grade artifact sword would allow him to explore more dangerous forbidden zones and obtain better treasures to increase his strength, if his comprehension was not extraordinary, his achievements would be limited. After all, treasures could not increase one's profounds. In this aspect, one would have to rely on oneself.
In fact, all in all, Copper Sword King's desire for a supreme-grade artifact sword was the manifestation of a sword artist's monstrous talent. However, Copper Sword King longed for a supreme-grade artifact sword too much, so he wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
The speed of the sword light was extremely fast, and even the power of space was sliced apart. In terms of speed, even high-level Kings might not be a match for Copper Sword King.
…
At this moment, Ye Chen already had the intention to retreat.
The closer he got to the core of Bloodlight Ocean, the greater the danger he would encounter. At this moment, Ye Chen encountered a danger.
The danger didn't come from a Blood Devil King, but a Hetero Blood Devil King.
What appeared in front of him was a Golden Lion that was three to four meters long. This Golden Lion was no different from Shi Shaobao's main body, just a dozen times smaller. The Golden Lion was shrouded in a blood-red aura, and its lantern-sized eyes were also blood-red. There was no radiance in them, only bloodthirstiness and brutality.
"Golden Lion King!"
Ye Chen slowly spat out a word.
The golden lion in front of him was clearly a Demonic Beast King of the Golden Lion Clan. It was probably invaded by the chaotic will of Bloodlight Ocean and transformed into a Hetero Blood Devil King.
Roar!
Raising its head and roaring, the golden lion pounced at Ye Chen.
"Seal!"
The space distorted and condensed into a purple mirror.
Peng!
The Golden Lion King's physical body was extremely powerful. It was also a fifth step spirit body, but Ye Chen's fifth step spirit body was clearly weaker than the Golden Lion King's. The purple mirror shattered into thousands of pieces, leaving only a few hundred shallow wounds on the Golden Lion King's body. Before the blood could flow out, it had already been absorbed.
Opening its bloody mouth, the Golden Lion King spat out a dazzling golden radiance at Ye Chen.
"Too powerful!"
Ye Chen could still put up a fight against an ordinary mid-step Hetero Blood Devil King, but Ye Chen didn't think he was an opponent for the Golden Lion King. The Sky Scorpio Sword fiercely slashed out. An incomparably condensed sword energy, along with frightening death ripples, slashed at the golden radiance.
Immediately, a dazzling golden radiance exploded, engulfing the heaven and earth. Ye Chen was blown away, spurting out a large amount of blood.
"Run!"
Borrowing the shockwave, Ye Chen quickly fled. Releasing his sword domain, his speed became even faster.
With a few flickers, Ye Chen disappeared into the horizon. The Golden Lion King was obstructed by the shockwave and couldn't catch up.
…
Ten thousand li away, Ye Chen slowed down his speed.
"My strength has already reached a limit. Unless my profound makes a breakthrough, it's impossible for my strength to increase greatly. After leaving Bloodlight Ocean, I can start comprehending Life Dao."
Life Dao was much more difficult to comprehend than Death Dao. In most cases, one would comprehend Death Dao first, and then Life Dao. After all, increasing one's strength first was more important.
Without stopping, Ye Chen arrived at the exit of Bloodlight Ocean.
Glancing back, Ye Chen smiled bitterly.
"This trip was for the Blood Crystal Flower. Who would've thought that by a freak combination of factors, my Destruction Sword Intent would first break through to the sixth step, expelling the variant Star Fire Poison. Then, I didn't get the Blood Crystal Flower, but a mid step Blood Demon Crystal, raising my spirit body to the fifth step. The world is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Coming out with Ye Chen was a Life and Death King.
However, this Life and Death King was in a sorry state. His body was as thin as a match, and his aura was extremely weak. Clearly, he had suffered a serious injury. Even the Undying Body couldn't fully recover from it.
"Truly strange."
Seeing that Ye Chen was only at the peak of the third layer, yet he was able to come out safely, this Life and Death King was stunned.
Leaving Bloodlight Ocean, Ye Chen turned into a sword light and shot toward Eternal Sky Sect.
…
"I'm almost at Eternal Sky Sect. I heard that Eternal Sky Sect has a titled monarch protecting it. Therefore, it hasn't been destroyed for hundreds of years. I wonder if it's true?"
In the void millions of li away from Eternal Sky Sect, Copper Sword King hesitated.
"I'm only going to witness that kid's potential. I'm not looking for trouble. I should be fine."
Copper Sword King inwardly said.
Just as he was about to continue on his way, Copper Sword King's soul power suddenly sensed a figure. The figure was heading in the same direction as him.
"It's him!"
A joyous expression appeared on Copper Sword King's face. As far as he was concerned, not going to Eternal Sky Sect was the best outcome.
Turning around, Copper Sword King flew for a few breaths before waving his hand. The spatial barrier split open, and his entire body shot out like a sword light.
Far in the distance, a figure was flying over.
"What's the matter, senior?"
Ye Chen stopped and sized up Copper Sword King.
"You're Ye Chen?"
Copper Sword King was also sizing up Ye Chen.
"If senior is not mistaken, then it's me." Ye Chen nodded.
"I heard you have a supreme grade sword. I wonder if you can take it out and let me have a look." Copper Sword King went straight to the point, not beating around the bush.
His eyes suddenly narrowed, Ye Chen said, "Senior, are you here for Ye Chen's sword?"
"Right."
"Then senior will be disappointed. Ye Chen will not hand over the sword." Copper Sword King's sword Qi was exceptionally powerful, even several times stronger than that masked man. Ye Chen was absolutely not his opponent. However, since the other party wanted to snatch his Sky Scorpio Sword, he couldn't let him have his way. Therefore, he could only ask for Yuan Emperor's image first.
With the strength of Yuan Emperor's image, dealing with Copper Sword King shouldn't require much Zhen Yuan.
"I didn't ask you to hand it over. Do you think I'll let you do that with my strength?" Copper Sword King slightly shook his head and continued, "How about this, I'll suppress my cultivation base to about the same level as you. As long as you can take three of my sword strikes, I'll immediately turn around and leave. If you can't, I'll have to borrow your supreme grade sword for three months."
En!
Copper Sword King's words left Ye Chen somewhat astonished.
He had thought that the other party had come to snatch his sword, but it turned out to be to borrow it. Although he might not be trustworthy, in Ye Chen's opinion, it was somewhat believable. With the other party's strength, there was no need for him to deceive him. If he really wanted to snatch the sword, he could just snatch it by force.
"My apologies, but junior can't take three moves from senior."
Suppressing one's cultivation base was only suppressing the quantity of Zhen Yuan. In terms of purity, it was still much higher than Ye Chen's. Ye Chen wasn't afraid of this. He also had the Destruction Sword Intent. However, powerful Life and Death Kings all had powerful profound martial skills. For example, the masked man's thunder and fire profound martial skills were frighteningly powerful. He believed that Copper Sword King wouldn't be weak.
"Hehe, you're quite meticulous." Copper Sword King smiled, "These three sword strikes of mine are ordinary moves. If you feel that it's unfair, you can change your mind."
"Is senior serious?"
This time, Ye Chen was even more astonished.
"Of course!"
"Alright, then junior will take three sword strikes from senior!"
Ye Chen agreed.
"You're indeed courageous. I hope your strength is as formidable as your courage." As he spoke, Copper Sword King's gaze turned extremely sharp. His entire being seemed like a peerless sword.
"First sword!"
Copper Sword King's figure suddenly moved as he pushed his speed to the limit. Any faster and he would've disappeared into the void. Chi! Copper Sword King's sword slashed at Ye Chen. The cyan sword light seemed ordinary, but it carried a soul-shaking aura. It was as if this sword could even destroy one's soul.
As Copper Sword King said, he had already suppressed his cultivation base. The Zhen Yuan contained in this sword strike was more or less the same as Ye Chen's. Only, the Zhen Yuan was extremely pure and couldn't be suppressed.
Leaving behind a pitch-black sword scar in the air, it was as swift as a swan.
"Sword Domain!"
Facing Copper Sword King's ordinary sword strike, Ye Chen didn't dare to be negligent. He had a feeling that this sword strike was extraordinary. It contained the mysteries of sword dao, somewhat similar to Battle King's Platinum Sword Body.
"Sure enough, it can't change the trajectory of his sword by a large margin."
The appearance of Sword Domain had only slightly deviated Copper Sword King's sword light. If left unchecked, Ye Chen would definitely be hit. Clang! Unsheathing the Evil Vanquishing Sword, Ye Chen's sword collided with Copper Sword King's longsword.
Blazing sparks flew everywhere!
Copper Sword King retreated.
"Good, your Sword Domain has actually reached the peak of the first layer. You're not far from the second layer." Copper Sword King applauded.
