As the Yuan Sphere fused into Ye Chen's body, the black hole rapidly dispersed, and the third layer of sky instantly recovered. Below, Ye Chen's aura soared to the point that even the third layer couldn't obstruct him.
"King grade Zhen Yuan is indeed worthy of being called King grade Zhen Yuan. In terms of quality, it has increased by five times. Under Life and Death realm, even if one's talent is at the peak, it would still be extremely difficult to make up for the gap in Zhen Yuan. Only a few people in a thousand years could accomplish such a feat."
Straightening his right palm as a blade, Ye Chen casually slashed.
Puchi! A pitch-black crack appeared in the space, and spatial power pervaded the air.
"Condense!"
Ye Chen's space profound had reached fifty percent completion, allowing him to easily maintain the crack. The pervading spatial power condensed at the edge of the crack, forming a simple frame.
Puff!
The space's recovery ability was simply too powerful. After three breaths, the crack was mended, and the spatial power condensed into a frame was dispersed once again.
"The amount of spatial power I controlled just now was a bit less. If I had more, I should have been able to maintain it for a longer time." Shaking his head, Ye Chen's gaze once again fell on the masked man.
The masked man didn't run, for he was clear that it was useless. Ye Chen's battle strength was at least upper three stars, perhaps even peak three stars. His previous battle strength was mid three stars, but now, it had fallen to lower three stars. How could he escape? Once he did, he would die without a doubt. He didn't think Ye Chen would let him go.
"I'll give you three breaths of time. If you can escape, I might let you live."
Ordinary Life and Death Kings' soul power perception range was ten thousand li. Using some secret soul arts, they could increase it to a hundred thousand li. As long as they escaped the range, it would be very difficult to chase them. However, Ye Chen was different. Ye Chen's soul eyes could see everything within a billion li. Even if the masked man escaped to True Spirit Continent, Ye Chen would still be able to find him.
Hearing these words, the masked man's expression changed greatly.
"Ye Chen, don't make a mistake. I can give you three days to consider."
The masked man was anxious.
"One!"
Ye Chen coldly counted.
"Ye Chen, you'll regret this!"
The masked man opened his eyes wide and roared.
"Two!"
"Run!"
The masked man's scalp went numb. Thunder and fire burst out of his body, turning him into a ball of thunder and fire that drilled into the void. Then, he flew away at a speed that surpassed his limits, not caring about the damage to his body.
Ye Chen didn't do anything, allowing the other party to escape.
"Three!"
Raising the Sky Scorpio Sword, Ye Chen slashed out. A transparent ripple swept into the depths of the void. In the next moment, a hundred thousand li away, the masked man was directly swept out by the spatial ripple and sealed in a purple mirror, unable to move. However, his eyeballs could still move, glaring at Ye Chen viciously while cursing.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't have the ability to grasp it."
The reason why Ye Chen gave the masked man three breaths of time was to verify his usage of space profound after reaching Life and Death realm. He didn't really intend to give the masked man a chance.
Bang!
The purple mirror shattered, and the masked man was shredded into a bloody mist by the berserk spatial fragments, thoroughly dying.
"Space profound can disregard spatial distance within a certain range. A hundred thousand li is no different from a few hundred li for me. However, the prerequisite is that my soul power and Zhen Yuan are strong enough."
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen understood how frightening a Life and Death King would be once they grasped the space profound. Fortunately, his space profound was not weaker than the majority of Life and Death Kings. The number of Life and Death Kings with a space profound above his might be less than a handful.
His figure flickered as Ye Chen dove into the void.
If the space power was like a berserk blade to Ye Chen before, it was now like a stream of water, unable to break his Protective Zhen Yuan and injure his body.
Shuttling through the void, Ye Chen found Ironarm King and Beard King's storage rings, then the masked man's. As for Gray Bird King's storage ring, it was in the outer space, and had been collected by Ye Chen a long time ago.
Breaking through the spatial barrier, Ye Chen once again appeared above the ocean.
"Life and Death Realm is indeed powerful."
"But, my harvest is not limited to soul power and Zhen Yuan."
The moment he broke through to Life and Death Realm, Ye Chen's Green Lotus Sword Arts had already risen from low heaven grade to mid heaven grade. The speed of his Zhen Yuan circulation was inconceivably fast, and his cultivation speed had also increased by three times.
With a low rank Heaven Realm cultivation technique, one's cultivation speed would be three times faster than those without it. In other words, other Life and Death Kings could only obtain one year's worth of cultivation base after cultivating for one year, while one could obtain three years' worth of cultivation base. However, with the Green Lotus Sword Arts, he could obtain nine years' worth of cultivation base after cultivating for one year, which was nine times faster than those without a Heaven Realm cultivation technique.
With a casual circulation of Green Lotus Sword Arts, Ye Chen could feel the surging Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi pouring into his body, rapidly transforming into Zhen Yuan. Of course, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was too thin for Life and Death Realm Kings. It was not as dense as when one was undergoing Life and Death Calamity, only a thousandth of the density. Therefore, relying on cultivation techniques to recover Zhen Yuan was not too realistic, and would be very slow. Unless one could find a blessed land where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was dozens or even hundreds of times denser than the outside world, it would be more feasible.
As Green Lotus Sword Arts advanced, Sword Domain, which was based on Green Lotus Sword Arts, also advanced.
Originally, Ye Chen's Sword Domain was at the peak of the first layer. But, after Green Lotus Sword Arts broke through to the mid heaven grade, his Sword Domain reached the second layer, and his Sword Rule doubled. The sword pressure was incomparably powerful. Without any exaggeration, an ordinary Life and Death King would be frozen in place by this sword pressure, and be at the mercy of others.
After reaching the second layer of Sword Domain, Ye Chen could no longer comprehend the extent of his battle power. Of course, it was impossible for him to reach four stars. The gap between each star was huge. For example, if one were at the peak of three stars, they would be easily defeated by a four star King. However, there were some people whose strength was infinitely close to four stars even though they were at the peak of three stars.
Such people possessed the strength of a three star tyrant.
For example, Copper Sword King possessed the strength of a two star tyrant. Not a single two star Life and Death King could last more than a few moves against him. He could contend against a low three star King, and even if he couldn't win, he had a great chance of escaping.
According to the ease with which he killed the masked man, Ye Chen estimated his strength to be at least at the peak of three stars. As for whether he had the strength of a three star tyrant or not, he would have to verify it a few more times.
"No rush. After entering Life and Death Realm, I can enter the state of one with the world at any time, and my profounds will advance by leaps and bounds. Once my profounds advance to a certain level, I can no longer advance any further. Then, I can create an even more powerful sword move. Four star battle strength should be in the bag."
Four star battle strength was equivalent to a peak King. However, Ye Chen had just entered Life and Death Realm, and there were many aspects that he had yet to improve. This and not being able to improve at all were two different things.
"Open!"
The silver vertical eye on his forehead opened once again, and Ye Chen gazed in the direction of Blood Sky Continent.
Blood Sky Continent … Iron Blood Region …
Eternal Sky Sect …
Ye Chen could see Li Zhangfeng, Gao Zhiyuan, and the rest. They were all either cultivating or chatting. There was nothing happening in the surroundings, and there was no danger.
Turning his head, Ye Chen gazed in the direction of True Spirit Continent.
Sky Cloud Sect and Ye family were developing at an extremely fast pace. Their numbers had multiplied by several folds, and their experts were numerous as well. Moreover, through his soul eye, Ye Chen could even see a layer of mysterious fate circulating in the sky above Ye family and Sky Cloud Sect. This fate was hard to see through even with his soul eye, and he could only see traces of it.
"Fortunately, there is no movement for the time being. I'll go into seclusion for a while and comprehend the profounds!"
After making sure that everything he cared about was safe and sound, Ye Chen calmed down. As for Dragon God Celestial Palace, Ye Chen refrained from looking. Although his current strength seemed very powerful, compared to some of the more powerful Kings, he was still a lot weaker. Once his strength reached the point where he could no longer increase it within a short period of time, he would pay a visit to Dragon God Celestial Palace and see what was happening there. Being so far away, he could only see the scene, but not hear anything.
…
Inside the palace at the bottom of the sea …
A few blood colored stones at the end of the long table suddenly dimmed.
"Chasing Thunder King and the rest have all failed."
"Was it killed by Ye Chen, or by someone else?"
The black-skinned figure creased his brows and rapped his fingers on the table.
"If it was killed by Ye Chen, then he has already broken through to Life and Death realm. To be able to do so in such a short period of time, his potential is bound to surpass Battle King and Xuanhou."
"If it was someone else who saved him, then it means that he has yet to break through to Life and Death realm, and there is still a chance."
"These pieces of trash are really making me worry!"
"Forget it, relying on these trash is useless. It's best if Horned Demon makes a trip there. This kind of genius, every day we keep him alive is one more day of danger. If we give him a few dozen years to grow, I'm afraid even the resurrection of the lords will have more twists and turns."
He had no tolerance for the peak geniuses of Elysium. A few dozen years ago, they couldn't find an opportunity to kill Xuanhou. After a few dozen years, Xuanhou's strength was already not something they could kill even if they wanted to. Even if he personally took action, he would only have seventy to eighty percent chance of defeating Xuanhou. However, to say killing the latter, it was not too likely. Almost no one with five star battle strength could kill Xuanhou. The other party's mysterious dao was something he deeply understood.
His finger flicked, and a blood light shot out, landing on a blood colored stone nearby.
Buzz!
The stone blossomed with radiance, and a blood figure with a long horn on its head appeared.
"What's the matter?"
The horned blood figure asked.
The black-skinned expert let out a breath and said, "Ye Chen might have entered Life and Death realm. His strength is at least upper three star, or even peak three star. We can't let him grow any further. Find an opportunity and kill him. As for whether some Kings will discover our existence, we can't care so much. In any case, they have already sensed us."
"Entering Life and Death realm … Truly a big problem."
The horned blood figure continued, "We have the demonic power of this world, which is incompatible with this world. As soon as we appear, we will inevitably be discovered. Since you said so, I'll kill him! Don't worry, I'll quickly deal with this matter and hide in the depths. I believe they won't be able to sense too much. "
"Alright."
The black-skinned expert nodded.
