In the end, Ye Chen's soul power couldn't compare to Copper Sword King's, so he asked, "Senior, who is it?"
"It's a consciousness projection with a mask on its face." Copper Sword King smiled bitterly in his heart. His consciousness projection already had the strength of a mid-step King, so his real body was most likely a high-step King. Moreover, he could only be considered a tyrant among mid-step Kings, barely able to contend against ordinary high-step Kings.
The masked man!
An image flashed through Ye Chen's mind.
"Could he be here to see if I'm dead or not?" The masked man had no enmity with him, but he wanted him dead. It was obvious that he was specifically targeting him. He could feel an invisible net gradually closing in on him. It was indescribably dangerous.
"Kid, you've offended quite a lot of people?" Copper Sword King turned his head with a gloomy expression.
He was sure that the masked man wasn't targeting him. Since it wasn't targeting him, it was obviously targeting Ye Chen. He didn't expect to offend a high-step King for no reason. It would be strange if he wasn't gloomy.
"Actually, I don't know who he is."
How could Ye Chen know that he was being targeted by otherworldly experts? Moreover, he didn't know that Battle King and Xuanhou were killed by these people.
"Forget it. Perhaps I shouldn't have come."
Copper Sword King shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts, and continued, "I said that if you can take three of my swords, I won't make things difficult for you. Now that I've done that, I'll keep my word."
"Many thanks, senior."
For Ye Chen, it was best not to use the image of Yuan Emperor. This was his life-saving trump card.
Dispelling the thought of supreme grade swords, Copper Sword King became interested in Ye Chen, "As far as I know, in the entire Elysium, there are only five people with Sword Domain, and four of them are in my Sky Sword Continent. Only you aren't from there. Tsk, tsk. Do you know what the highest level of Sword Domain is?"
"No!"
Ye Chen shook his head.
"Three levels!" Copper Sword King said, "The Sword Domain has a total of nine layers, but the Sword Domain is much harder to improve than the Spirit Body and Will. With every layer, the Laws of the Sword will become several times stronger. If your Sword Domain reaches the peak of the second layer, then even if I go all out, I might not be able to defeat you easily. At the third layer, as long as your True Yuan doesn't run out, then I won't be able to do anything to you. Of course, your strength is still low, so I can't do anything to you, and you can't defeat me either."
Copper Sword King possessed Sword Yuan, so his offense and defense were several times stronger than other Kings of the same rank. He could contend against ordinary high-level Kings for a while.
"Of course!"
If Ye Chen had to choose between two opponents, and one was an ordinary high-level King and the other was Copper Sword King, Ye Chen would rather choose an ordinary high-level King. At the very least, the opponent's defense wouldn't be too excessive. On the other hand, if he chose Copper Sword King, he might not be able to injure him even after exhausting his Zhen Yuan, let alone defeat him.
"Sky Sword Continent gathers the sword Qi of the world, and it even has a strange Space Sword World. If you have the opportunity, you can go there. It'll be of great help to your sword dao. Of course, you'd better raise your cultivation base to Life and Death realm. I can restrain my thoughts of seizing supreme grade swords, but others might not be able to. Dragon Kings don't have long lifespans, and this is something everyone knows."
Since he had given up on the supreme grade sword, Copper Sword King decided to befriend Ye Chen.
"Alright, I'll be leaving first."
Copper Sword King didn't want to stay any longer. His figure flickered and disappeared into the void.
"Sword artists are mostly resolute, and Copper Sword King is no exception."
Muttering to himself, Ye Chen turned around and flew in the direction of Eternal Sky Sect.
…
The second appearance of the masked man added a trace of urgency to Ye Chen. With his current strength, he didn't have the confidence to safely escape from the assassination of a high step King. More importantly, he didn't know if he had the time to summon Yuan Emperor's image or not. This was because high step Kings either didn't make a move, or if they did, it would be a fatal blow.
"Comprehending the life dao is the most pressing matter."
On Eternal Sky Sect's Elder Peak, Ye Chen let out a long sigh.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Ye Chen raised his head.
"Your senses are quite sharp!"
Spatial ripples appeared in the secret chamber, and a white-haired old man walked out.
"Senior Dragon King."
A trace of astonishment flickered on Ye Chen's face as he stepped forward and saluted sincerely.
Dragon King had a benevolent smile on his face as he said, "Every time I see you, I can see you advancing by leaps and bounds. This is truly great. I didn't expect to see two powerful juniors grow so quickly before I die."
"Senior Dragon King, since you can surpass the limit of lifespan, you should be able to extend your lifespan, right?"
"There are indeed methods to extend lifespan, but now is not the time. Moreover, it's practically a dead end." Dragon King's expression turned grave.
"Dead end?"
Ye Chen had a bad premonition.
"It's useless to tell you this now. You'll know in the future. I came this time to understand your progress, and also to bid farewell."
"Senior wants to challenge that dead end?" With Ye Chen's intelligence, he immediately guessed.
"Everyone dies one day. Being able to die a few years later than others is already heaven's kindness."
Dragon King didn't want to linger on this topic, so he said, "I can see that you've already comprehended Death Dao. Now, as long as you comprehend Life Dao and verify them, you'll be able to enter Life and Death realm."
"However, Life Dao is the most difficult to comprehend. Back then, Yan girl comprehended Death Dao at the age of thirty-one, and Life Dao at the age of thirty-four. She only entered Life and Death realm after a year. I have no doubts about your comprehension, but I must warn you that you mustn't be anxious while comprehending Life Dao. The more anxious you are, the further away you will be from Life Dao. You must wholeheartedly immerse yourself in comprehending Life Dao. Sense the existence of nature, sense the vitality of myriad things, sense the ordinary things that you normally don't pay attention to, and comprehend the cruelty and darkness of life. Therefore, the reason why many geniuses fail to enter Life and Death realm is because they walk too far on this path."
"Senior Dragon King, I believe that I will comprehend Life Dao very soon." Ye Chen was different from others. He had already experienced true life and death once. His arrival was, in fact, obtaining life from death. Of course, it was impossible for him to comprehend Life Dao immediately. What he comprehended was only his own life, and not the lives of myriad things. However, with this as a breakthrough, his starting point was higher than others.
"Hehe, that's for the best."
Dragon King didn't doubt that Ye Chen's words were meant to reassure him. After dozens of years of observation, both he and Xuanhou were very clear about Ye Chen's temperament. To be honest, Ye Chen was very frightening. He had never seen such a frightening youngster before. Many people knew their own weaknesses, but they couldn't avoid them. On the other hand, Ye Chen could always reflect on himself and improve himself. Sometimes, Dragon King even felt that he and Ye Chen weren't people of the same world. It was a very strange feeling.
"Senior, can't you wait for me to enter Life and Death realm before attempting that path of death?" Ye Chen didn't wish for Dragon King to die. There were certainly many secrets in this world that he didn't know.
"It's too late! If I don't do it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance. "
Dragon King shook his head with a bitter smile.
"After I leave, I'll leave that girl Xu Jing to you."
"Of course."
"This is my first time coming to Eternal Sky Sect. Little Li was also a sword dao genius back in the day. Unfortunately, he died early and couldn't bring out his full potential. Otherworldly people have always been the cancer of my Elysium. Since ancient times, countless people have died in their hands."
"Right, I wonder who is guarding Eternal Sky Sect. Perhaps I know him!"
As he spoke, Dragon King suddenly released his soul power, spreading it out in all directions.
"What a hidden soul power! I can only sense a trace of fluctuation."
If Dragon King wasn't right in front of him, Ye Chen might not have been able to sense the fluctuation of Dragon King's soul power. The reason he could sense it now was because he was mentally prepared.
"Eh?"
Dragon King's brows creased as he suddenly grabbed Ye Chen's shoulder. His figure flashed and disappeared into the void. The next moment, the space reversed, and Ye Chen and Dragon King appeared in the middle of the mountain range behind Eternal Sky Sect.
Ye Chen felt a little dizzy, but he quickly steadied his mind.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
"There's something strange. There's an extremely mysterious formation below. However, this formation seems to have been slightly damaged, causing its aura to leak out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to discover it."
"Formation?"
Ye Chen recalled that he had fought with Poison Fire King and Blood Hand King here. Could that battle have caused the geographical environment to change, exposing this formation?
Of course, his soul power wasn't as strong as Dragon King's, so he didn't discover it.
"Come, let's go down!"
Dragon King's body glowed with an earthy yellow radiance, like an Earth Escape Technique. He brought Ye Chen down quickly. Along the way, Ye Chen almost couldn't feel the existence of the space.
The Dragon King stopped when he reached a depth of thirty to forty thousand meters.
Weng!
He stretched out his palm, and the earthy yellow radiance spread out. The soil in front of Dragon King was automatically pushed aside, forming a huge underground space. In the middle of the underground space, there was an earth ball. The diameter of the earth ball was about thirty meters, perfectly round without a trace of imperfection. A weak formation ripple was transmitted from it.
"It's the Fire King's Spirit Permeating Formation!"
The so-called Spirit Permeating Formation was to prevent soul power from detecting it. When soul power scanned over, it would directly ignore this area, treating it as ordinary soil.
"Who is Fire King?"
Dragon King said, "When I was young, I had met Fire King a few times. However, he disappeared afterward. If the protector of Eternal Sky Sect is him, then he must have been crowned as an emperor. It wouldn't be wrong to call him Fire Emperor."
"However, I remember that he was about seventy or eighty years older than me."
"Fire Emperor is dead?"
Ye Chen looked at the earth ball.
"Dead or not, we'll know once we break this Spirit Permeating Formation." Dragon King closed his eyes, and his soul power seeped into the earth ball, carefully sensing the pattern of the Spirit Permeating Formation.
After a long time, Dragon King opened his eyes.
"How brilliant! Fortunately, this formation is damaged. It seems that the energy to maintain it is insufficient. Otherwise, I might not be able to break it."
Hua La La!
Dragon King's soul power shook, and the earth ball collapsed, revealing a purple light ball. In the middle of the light ball, there was a figure sitting cross-legged with his head lowered.
