"I refuse to believe that you won't die this time!"
The masked man was extremely confident in his strength. He was a high step King with three star battle strength. Even if Ye Chen had improved greatly, he wouldn't be able to withstand a single palm strike from him. Even if Copper Sword King, who had destroyed his consciousness projection, came over, he was confident that he could deal with him within three palms. The gap between two star and three star battle strength was real and not just for show.
Of course, the premise was that he had to catch up to Ye Chen. If he couldn't, he wouldn't be able to do anything no matter how powerful he was.
"Run! To the north of Blood Sky Continent is the Boundless Ocean. The further you are from the continent, the less people will be able to save you. Xuanhou spent three years comprehending Life Dao and one year to become a Life and Death King. No matter how talented you are, you'll still need two to three years! "The masked man didn't believe that Ye Chen could break through to Life and Death realm in a short time.
…
"Ironarm King, do you think this Ye Chen is so powerful? Although Blood Blade King is weaker than us, he at least had mid two star battle strength. How come he couldn't beat Ye Chen and was even killed?"
A fierce-looking man with a curly beard was conversing with another Life and Death King through a conch.
"Ye Chen is called the most frightening genius after Yuan Emperor by Lord, and it's not without reason. Even Xuanhou is a bit weaker than him. Having this kind of battle strength is understandable. Moreover, think about it, he actually raised his Destruction Sword Intent to the sixth step. How frightening is that? Beard King, you'd better not be careless if you meet him. Don't let your boat capsize in the gutter happen." Ironarm King's arms were extremely thick, and his muscles seemed to be bursting with power.
Beard King nodded, "Right, sixth step Destruction Sword Intent … He hasn't entered Life and Death realm yet. If he enters Life and Death realm and develops for a few decades, he might even create a miracle and possess Seven Star battle strength, comparable to the ancient people."
"Whether he can reach Seven Star battle strength or not, I don't know. However, I'm certain that if he's allowed to grow, he'll reach Six Star battle strength for sure. Therefore, we must eliminate him to relieve Lord's worries."
Ironarm King's eyes turned cold.
"Of course."
Beard King's eyes also turned cold.
…
On another part of the ocean, a huge gray bird was flying at an extremely fast speed. Sometimes, it would enter the void to travel, and sometimes, it would break through space to probe with its soul power.
"The Lord said that whoever kills Ye Chen will be rewarded with a Profoundness Bead. A Profoundness Bead is a treasure even in the endless starry sky. It can help me comprehend profoundness faster and increase my battle prowess. This is a rare opportunity, and I can't give it to others. I have to kill Ye Chen myself."
The gray bird was a Demon King and was called the Gray Bird King. Speed had always been his advantage. As long as he received news of Ye Chen, he would immediately chase after him.
This is where I first discovered Ye Chen. Alright, with my speed, I'll be able to catch up soon. Back then, Bloody Blade Monarch had been the closest to Ye Chen, followed by Gray Bird Monarch. The masked man and Ironarm Monarch were the furthest.
Puff!
With a flap of his wings, Gray Bird King instantly disappeared.
In the depths of the void, there was no limit to one's speed, unlike the outside, where one couldn't increase their speed after reaching the limit of the space. Once they did, they would have to escape into the void. In the void, Life and Death Kings were fine, since their Zhen Yuan could completely resist the pressure of the space. However, for those below Life and Death Realm, it would be very difficult to survive in the depths of the void. Even if they could survive, their Zhen Yuan would be quickly exhausted, and the rate of consumption far surpassed Life and Death Kings.
Moreover, the omnipresent spatial power in the void could shrink the distance to an inch. A Life and Death King could traverse several tens of thousands of li in a single breath.
After flying for several million li, Gray Bird King broke through the space barrier and rushed out.
"Great Soul Searching Art!"
His soul power spread out in a fan shape, covering hundreds of thousands of li.
"A total of fourteen lives. Found it … It's him!"
Gray Bird King's eyes blossomed with a frightening light.
"I've been discovered!"
Ye Chen could feel an extremely faint soul power scanning his body.
"Open!"
Opening the silver vertical eye on his forehead, Ye Chen turned his head.
His soul eye was much more frightening than the Great Soul Searching Art. In a straight line, it could cover ten million li. Not only did he discover Gray Bird King, he also discovered Beard King. Gray Bird King was only a few hundred thousand li away, while Beard King was seven million li away. With the speed of Life and Death Kings, the two were very close.
"Since I can't escape, I can only kill. I'll cut off that Demonic Beast King first, then the one behind."
Gray Bird King and Beard King's aura were a bit stronger than Blood Blade King's, but not by much. Perhaps they had some trump cards, but so did Ye Chen.
"Haha! Die! "
A distance of several hundred thousand li was nothing to Gray Bird King. In ten breaths, he broke through the space barrier and blocked in front of Ye Chen.
"Bewitching Mirror Shattering!"
Just like how he dealt with Poison Hand King and Blood Hand King, Ye Chen took advantage of the fact that the other side didn't understand him and couldn't discover him.
The space was compressed into a mirror, sealing Gray Bird King within.
Peng!
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
The mirror shattered, and the revolving spatial fragments slashed at Gray Bird King's body. Feathers and blood flew everywhere, and a conical spatial fragment even pierced through his abdomen.
Gray Bird King screamed miserably, unable to raise his head.
"Flying Feather Demonic Slaughter!"
Gray Bird King was, after all, a Demonic Beast King. Both his protective demonic energy and physical strength surpassed Blood Blade King's. The King grade demonic energy within his body erupted as he used his innate ability.
One after another, feathers shot out like ten thousand arrows. Each of them carried a frightening penetrative and cutting power, leaving pitch-black cracks in the space.
Swish!
As he threw out that sword attack, Ye Chen had already performed his sword steps, which allowed him to barely avoid the countless flying feather attacks.
After a few flickers, Ye Chen arrived at Gray Bird King's left side and used Congealing Water.
Gray Bird King raised his tattered left wing and welcomed the attack.
Boom!
With an explosion, Ye Chen was sent flying with blood flowing from his purlicue and his arm feeling numb.
Gray Bird King didn't have it any better. The power of Congealing Water was transmitted as the core, and his left wing was pierced by the extremely condensed sword energy, injuring his internal organs.
"Damn it!"
Gray Bird King already knew that Ye Chen was powerful, but he was confident that he could suppress Ye Chen and slowly grind the latter to death with his dense demonic energy. However, he didn't expect that because of one wrong move, he would be forced to passively counterattack. How could he be a match for Ye Chen?
"Hmph, I'll let you be arrogant for a while. With your strength, you can't injure me and make me lose my combat strength. As long as I can endure this period, I will be able to counterattack."
Gray Bird King calmed down and circulated his Undying Body to heal his injured body.
Seeing that Gray Bird King wasn't in a hurry to counterattack, Ye Chen knew what the latter was planning. The vertical eye on his forehead opened once more and shot out a thin silver beam of light at Gray Bird King.
"I've long been prepared for this move of yours."
Gray Bird King knew from the masked man that Ye Chen's soul attack was extremely powerful. Moreover, his soul defense was also very strong. Therefore, he immediately reacted and used a soul defense secret art.
However, he had underestimated the lethality of Soul Light. Even with the soul defense secret art protecting his Soul Sea, he still felt dizzy for a moment and lost control of his body.
Demonic beasts had always been inferior to humans in terms of soul. If it was a human King using a soul defense secret art, Ye Chen wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Kill!"
With the Soul Light taking effect, Ye Chen charged over. On the Sky Scorpio Sword, purple crystals covered its body. This was the sign of overloading the crystal's power.
Peng!
A rain of light sprinkled down as a huge hole appeared on Gray Bird King's chest. It was a wound that even Limb Regrowth realm couldn't repair.
With one sword, Gray Bird King was gravely injured.
"This sword, how can it be so powerful?"
Spurting out mouthfuls of blood, Gray Bird King stared at the Sky Scorpio Sword in Ye Chen's hand in horror. His protective demonic energy couldn't do much against this sword, shattering like a crystal.
"Run!"
Gray Bird King had never imagined that Ye Chen still had so many undiscovered secrets, such as a soul power comparable to King grade soul power and a supreme-grade artifact sword with explosive power. These two secrets were simply asking for his life.
With a flap of his wings, Gray Bird King fled in a sorry state, leaving behind a rain of blood.
"Take another sword of mine!"
Ye Chen had also underestimated Gray Bird King's strength. He didn't think that he could keep Gray Bird King here, but making the latter lose most of his fighting strength was already his goal.
Raising the Sky Scorpio Sword, a purple sword light chased after Gray Bird King.
Puchi!
With his injuries, Gray Bird King's speed was clearly not as fast as usual. Adding the suppression of the Sword Domain, his speed was even slower, and the purple sword light slashed at his back.
With a stagger, Gray Bird King miserably fled into the void.
"Merak Hammer Strike!"
The moment Gray Bird King fled into the void, a revolving hammer light tore through the air. The one who attacked was a burly man with a curly beard, his face filled with killing intent.
"A little troublesome."
Ye Chen raised the Sky Scorpio Sword horizontally, blocking the hammer light.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere as Ye Chen was sent flying, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
In fact, his battle strength was slightly weaker than Gray Bird King's. The reason why Gray Bird King fled miserably was because he didn't expect that Ye Chen would discover him first. Thus, he was caught unprepared and underestimated the power of the soul light, causing him to be stunned. Of course, the Sky Scorpio Sword's contribution couldn't go unnoticed.
Now, Beard King was attacking from the front, and Ye Chen had lost his advantage against Gray Bird King.
"Just so-so."
Beard King was overjoyed. He thought that Ye Chen had three heads and six arms, but now, it seemed that it wasn't that exaggerated.
"Power Hammer Strike!"
Holding the pitch-black sledgehammer with both hands, Beard King roared and sent another hammer strike at Ye Chen. The revolving hammer light covered the sky, blocking any path of escape for Ye Chen.
"Demonic Feather Strike!"
The most dangerous thing was that Gray Bird King didn't leave. Seeing that Beard King was suppressing Ye Chen, he rushed out and unleashed his innate ability at Ye Chen.
Countless feathers also shot toward Ye Chen from all directions.
