"Death and life are only one cycle. I've known this for a long time. How to find the common point between them and link them together should be the secret to breaking through to Life and Death realm."
Now that he had completed both Death Dao and Life Dao, what Ye Chen needed to do was to link them together and form a whole.
At the lakeside, Ye Chen's left hand was filled with Death Qi while his right hand blossomed with Life Qi. As his two hands approached each other, the Death Qi and Life Qi canceled each other out, giving birth to a vague ripple.
"This is the ripple!"
After thousands of confirmations, Ye Chen finally sensed this ripple. This ripple had neither life nor death, connecting life and death.
Not far from the wooden house, a huge red wolf was lying on its stomach. Its head was filled with eyes, but most of them were closed. The ones that weren't were only opened by a sliver. It was this sliver that allowed its dark green eyes to leak out. The surroundings became grotesque because of this gaze. Butterflies flew upside down, grass grew into towering trees, and ants turned into demons. The illusory and the real were sewn together because of its gaze.
Compared to a few years ago, the current Dream-eating Wolf was even more powerful. Its body was also emitting a faint Life and Death Qi, and its red fur was flickering with a deep killing intent.
These days, it had been observing how Ye Chen verified life and death, and it had benefited a lot.
"Master is too powerful! If I follow him, I'm afraid I'll become a Beast King within ten years, or even shorter."
When it was subdued by Ye Chen, the Dream-eating Wolf was already a tenth grade demonic beast. After swallowing a Wind Fire Pellet, the Dream-eating Wolf had been in a state of hibernation. Later on, Ye Chen gave it a frighteningly high quality supreme grade demonic power crystal, allowing it to become a half-step Beast King without any obstructions. Moreover, the energy consumed by the demonic power crystal was almost negligible. Right now, watching Ye Chen verify life and death, the Dream-eating Wolf had also stepped into the first layer of life-and-death chamber. Its battle power and dreamscape creation ability had increased by more than ten folds. Even ordinary Life and Death Kings would be somewhat affected.
"Eh? Why aren't you verifying it? "
Dream-eating Wolf raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Chen in surprise.
Slowly letting out a breath, Ye Chen said calmly, "Someone is approaching. He's an enemy, not a friend."
Roar!
Hearing this, the Dream-eating Wolf stood up, raised its head, and growled. The fur on its body stood straight, and its body seemed to have swelled up. It was extremely ferocious.
…
In this world, there were countless secret techniques. Some focused on offense, some focused on defense, and some were purely auxiliary secret techniques.
After being brainwashed by otherworldly experts, the Blood Robed Guards were all extremely loyal. Therefore, they were bestowed with a probing secret technique similar to the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Great Art. This secret technique didn't belong to Elysium, but was called the Soul Searching Great Art. The Soul Searching Great Art could restrain soul power and spread it out in a fan shape. Moreover, its range was a hundred times greater than normal. An ordinary Sea of Soul realm expert's range was one hundred li, but the Soul Searching Great Art could allow one's range to reach ten thousand li. Of course, it was only in a fan shape and couldn't cover all directions. However, it was already very frightening.
Apart from this, the Soul Searching Great Art had another extremely frightening aspect, which was that it could lock onto living things. There was no need to probe inch by inch, and it could save a lot of soul power.
Relying on the Soul Searching Great Art, a group of Blood Robed Guards discovered Ye Chen from nine thousand li away.
"Lord, the target has been discovered. It's the same as the portrait."
A Blood Robed Guard who seemed to be a captain raised a small conch and spoke into it.
"What? Found him? But, he's very far from here. Blood Blade King, you're the closest. You go first. Remember, even if you can't defeat him, you have to tie him down. Give me half an hour. Once I'm there, he won't be able to escape even if he grows wings." The masked man was overjoyed. Among the thirty Blood Robed Guards, there would be a captain equipped with a locating stone. Relying on the sensing of the stone, the masked man could easily determine the distance between the two and immediately order Blood Blade King, who was the closest, to intercept Ye Chen.
"Don't worry, he can't escape. My blade thirsts for the blood of peerless geniuses." Blood Blade King was a blood-haired middle-aged man. He licked his lips and grinned.
Puff!
Space ruptured as Blood Blade King fled in the direction of the captain.
Soon, Blood Blade King arrived at his destination.
"Where is he?"
Blood Blade King opened his mouth and asked.
The captain pointed ahead and said, "He's on that island. Not good, he's leaving."
"Leave? Where do you think he's going?"
A distance of nine thousand li was meaningless to Blood Blade King. Space ruptured, and when he reappeared, he was already on the island. He slashed at Ye Chen, who was about to fly away.
Rumble!
Blood-colored blade light enveloped the heaven and earth. The island brimming with vitality was cut in two, and seawater surged.
"He can be considered a well-known figure among mid-step Kings." Dodging the blood-colored blade light, Ye Chen floated in the air. According to the might of Blood Blade King's strike, he judged that Blood Blade King's strength was twice that of the masked man's consciousness projection. If it were before, he would definitely not be his opponent.
But now, that might not be the case!
Unsheathing the Sky Scorpio Sword, Ye Chen retaliated.
This strike was too fast, and Blood Blade King only had time to raise his blade to block.
Dang!
A loud sound rang out as Blood Blade King's entire body was blown away. Blood splattered from his right arm that was holding the blade. His muscles disintegrated, and terrifying cracks appeared on his bones.
"What! The might of this strike?"
Blood Blade King was astonished. As far as he knew, Ye Chen's battle strength was equivalent to an ordinary mid-step King. Since when did he become so powerful? It was two or three times stronger!
"While I was comprehending the Dao of Life, although I didn't try to comprehend the profoundness, my Water and Space profoundness naturally improved a little. Ninety percent completed Water and Metal Profoundness perfectly balanced each other, and their power increased more than twofold. The Congealing Water Sword Art has also entered the ranks of high-rank profoundness sword arts."
Ye Chen sneered.
High-grade profound martial arts varied in strength and weakness. The weak ones had two profounds at ninety percent completion, while the strong ones had both profounds at large completion. For example, the masked man's lightning fire profound was one of the more powerful high-grade profound martial arts. His lightning fire profounds were extremely close to large completion. Ye Chen had no hope against him, but against Blood Blade King, his advantage was obvious.
After all, Ye Chen still had the sixth step Destruction Sword Intent and the supreme grade Sky Scorpio Sword.
"This kid is troublesome. Let's tie him down first."
Blood Blade King changed his strategy. He alone was not Ye Chen's opponent. This kid's improvement speed was simply unimaginable. If he didn't get rid of him today, he might not be able to do so even if he paid ten times the price in the future.
"Trying to stall for time!"
Ye Chen didn't believe that there was only one Life and Death King chasing after him. There were certainly more powerful ones behind. If he didn't deal with Blood Blade King as soon as possible, he would be doomed.
"Fine, I'll use you to test my Bewitching Mirror Shattering!"
With his water profound at ninety percent completion, Ye Chen's space profound had also reached fifty percent. Fifty percent space profound was equivalent to a hundred and fifty percent ordinary profounds. As for its might, even Ye Chen himself wasn't clear. He only knew that it had already surpassed Congealing Water Sword Art, becoming Ye Chen's strongest move once again.
"Die!"
With a deep roar, Ye Chen's entire body leaped up like a roc spreading its wings. With a few sudden thrusts, he arrived before Blood Blade King and slashed out.
Buzz!
The space condensed into a mirror, embedding itself in the void. Blood Blade King's eyes were wide open, unable to move.
In the next moment, the mirror condensed from space power shattered into thousands of fragments. These fragments no longer flew in all directions, but revolved around Blood Blade King's body, as if he was being executed by a thousand cuts.
"Ah!"
Blood Blade King's body was riddled with holes. He didn't fear ordinary space power, but these spatial fragments were condensed from a large amount of compressed space power. Compressed water could even cut steel, not to mention space power.
Protecting his head with all his might, his peak semi supreme grade armor started to crack. From this, one could see how powerful the spatial fragments were. If it were an ordinary semi supreme grade artifact, how could it possibly block them?
Even so, Blood Blade King still suffered extremely frightening injuries.
"Life and Death Kings are indeed hard to kill, unless I can strike a vital point."
Relying on Sword Domain, Ye Chen sealed the space around Blood Blade King, making it impossible for him to break through. Moreover, Ye Chen's speed had also reached the limit of the space. In an instant, he arrived before Blood Blade King and thrust.
Congealing Water Sword Art!
Erupt!
Clang!
The blood blade in Blood Blade King's hand was sent flying. Sword light flickered, and Blood Blade King's head spun in the air. Puff! Ye Chen thrust again, shattering Blood Blade King's head.
"Go!"
After instantly killing Blood Blade King, Ye Chen collected Blood Blade King's blood blade and storage ring without the slightest hesitation, then immediately used his movement art and flew away.
In a few breaths' time, Ye Chen had already flown a thousand li away.
"Lord, not good! Blood Blade King was killed by the target, and he's escaping. He's about to escape from my perception."
Several thousand li away, the captain of the Blood Robed Guard anxiously said to Conch.
"What? Blood Blade King was killed? What's going on?"
The masked man's face was full of disbelief. He was well aware of Blood Blade King's strength, which was at least twice as strong as his consciousness projection. Moreover, he had told the latter that if he couldn't beat the latter, he would choose to fight. Could it be that Blood Blade King was too careless?
The Blood-Strike Guard captain relayed what he sensed to the masked man.
"Bastard! His progress is so fast! He must be eliminated. Lord is right. This kid's potential is rarely seen since ancient times. He's a huge threat."
The masked man's face was gloomy. Only after hearing the captain's description did he realize how frightening Ye Chen was. This kind of progress was simply a thousand li in a day. It should be known that ordinary people would not make any progress for several years after breaking through.
"Everyone, listen up! Speed up the search!"
The masked man ordered loudly.
