"It's really Ye Chen! Ye Chen is here!"
The first to arrive were a few Life and Death Sword Kings. Of course, beside Sky Sword were some powerful sword artists who didn't know what was going on. They didn't have extravagant hopes of comprehending Sword Domain, because the birth of Sword Domain required a heaven grade martial art as a foundation. However, Sword Domain could improve their sword arts. The first six floors could be passed without Sword Domain. The fourth floor was a master grade sword art, the fifth floor was a half-step King grade sword art, and the sixth floor was equivalent to a peak sword art below Life and Death Realm. Each floor was more difficult than the last, and was quite challenging.
"Eh? He's Ye Chen!"
The arrival of Ye Chen and a few Life and Death Sword Kings immediately attracted everyone's attention. A few reacted the fastest and immediately recognized Ye Chen's identity. They had seen Ye Chen's portrait before.
"Ye Chen has also come to the Sword World? This is big news!"
"How many floors do you think he'll reach?"
Everybody discussed in low voices.
"Marquis Sword Snow came here a while ago and seemed to have reached the tenth floor, reaching the peak of the first layer. This Ye Chen's Sword Domain is more or less the same as Marquis Sword Snow's. I reckon he'll also reach the tenth floor!"
Seventh to tenth floors corresponded to the first layer of Sword Domain.
The Heavenly Sword was protected by an incorporeal barrier. At this moment, the barrier flickered, and an ancient character appeared — seven.
"Marquis Sword Star has reached the seventh floor!"
Reaching the seventh floor meant that one had comprehended Sword Domain, which held great significance.
"Wood Sword King, it seems like our Sky Sword Continent has another person who has comprehended Sword Domain."
A long-bearded Sword King among the Life and Death Sword Kings said with a smile.
"Marquis Sword Star's talent in the sword dao is extraordinary. It's only a matter of time before he comprehends Sword Domain." A middle-aged Sword King carrying a wooden sword on his back said.
"Eight!"
After a while, another ancient character appeared on the invisible barrier — Eight.
"So shocking! Passing two floors and reaching the eighth floor!"
Everyone was astonished.
Back then, when Marquis Sword Snow comprehended Sword Domain, he could only reach the seventh layer on his first attempt. However, Marquis Sword Star could reach the eighth layer. However, everyone knew that Marquis Sword Star had already become a Life and Death King. A Life and Death King who comprehended Sword Domain should be able to display the full might of Sword Domain. However, when Marquis Sword Snow comprehended Sword Domain, he was not even in Life and Death Realm.
"Look, Marquis Sword Star has reached the ninth floor."
Someone called out.
"This is too ridiculous."
The seventh level represented the initial comprehension of the Sword Domain. The eighth level represented the mastery of the Sword Domain. The ninth level represented the late stage of the first level, and the tenth level represented the peak of the first level.
With his Sword Domain reaching the late stage of the first layer, Marquis Sword Star's battle prowess had definitely risen by a large margin.
Buzz!
The ninth layer was already the late stage of the first layer. Soon, the invisible barrier rippled, and a figure walked out — it was Marquis Sword Star.
When Marquis Sword Star saw Ye Chen, he froze for a moment before his lips curled up. He had finally comprehended Sword Domain as well. Moreover, after accumulating so much, he had instantly reached the late stage of the first layer.
"Congratulations."
Ye Chen said to Marquis Sword Star.
"You're also going to challenge the Sword World?"
Marquis Sword Star originally planned to leave, but now, he wanted to see how many layers Ye Chen could reach.
"The name of the Sword World resounds like thunder in my ears, so I naturally want to give it a try."
As he spoke, Ye Chen walked toward the invisible barrier and entered it.
Inside the invisible barrier was nothing but a light gate. Ye Chen walked toward the light gate, but his body was immediately repelled by a powerful repulsive force. However, his consciousness still rushed in.
The first layer of the Sword World.
It was a martial stage.
On the stage, Ye Chen's consciousness turned from illusory to solid, turning into a unique consciousness projection. He held a sword in his hand, looking nothing special.
In front of him, an expressionless swordsman with an aura as powerful as his own appeared.
Chi!
This swordsman made his move. The sword in his hand trembled, and thousands of sword flowers filled the air, covering Ye Chen. Ye Chen was shocked to discover that, apart from sword arts, this swordsman's cultivation base and sword intent were exactly the same as his. There was no difference at all.
Of course, cultivation base and sword intent were only the hardware of a swordsman. Sword arts were the embodiment of lethality.
With a flash of golden light, Ye Chen's sword cut open his opponent's body. He only used the ordinary Vibrational Sword Arts, and then, with his precise eyesight, he followed the opponent's flaws and attacked.
After passing the first layer, Ye Chen arrived at the second layer.
The second layer's opponents became two. Moreover, the sword arts they used were different from the first layer's, but their might was more or less the same.
Still using the ordinary Vibrational Sword Arts, Ye Chen killed two people with one slash.
The third layer had four.
The fourth layer had eight.
…
The sixth layer had thirty-two.
From the first to the sixth layer, there were a total of sixty-three swordsmen, displaying sixty-three different sword arts. Every single sword art was not weak. If it were another peak King, they would definitely die under the chaotic swords.
Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that in the Sword World, Zhen Yuan couldn't be released outside. They could only fight with their swords. This was very advantageous for the challengers, because once Zhen Yuan could be released outside, the opponent's cultivation base and sword intent would not be weaker than his. If they worked together, no one would be able to pass through the sixth layer. Even the fifth layer would be difficult. After all, defensive artifacts couldn't be used in the Sword World.
After passing through the sixth layer, Ye Chen arrived at the seventh layer.
The number of opponents on the seventh layer had shockingly increased to one hundred.
A hundred swordsmen with similar cultivation and sword intent was a very frightening thing. Fortunately, no one could release Zhen Yuan outside. They could only injure each other at close range.
Without using the Sword Domain, Ye Chen wanted to test his limits and see if he could pass through the seventh layer without using the Sword Domain.
The battle began. Ye Chen killed four swordsmen as soon as he came up. There was no blood, only a bright sword light flickering in the void.
Ten!
Thirty!
Sixty!
Eighty!
By the time he killed eighty, Ye Chen was already drenched in sweat.
Because everyone could only fight at close range, there were at most a dozen swordsmen who could approach Ye Chen at a time. However, these swordsmen were not afraid of death. After one batch died, another batch would come. The speed at which they were replenished was extremely fast. There was no time for one to react. Often, one would have to deal with new swordsmen when one's old strength was exhausted.
If it wasn't for Ye Chen's outstanding sword arts and the fact that he had just comprehended Orbit Kill, it would be impossible for Ye Chen to kill eighty swordsmen without using the Sword Domain. And this was almost his limit.
Eighty-first!
Eighty-fifth!
By the time he killed eighty-fifth swordsmen, Ye Chen was finally unable to block the attacks of the last fifteen swordsmen. He decisively used the Sword Domain and used the Sword Laws to distort the trajectory of the swordsmen's attacks.
Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff!
With the sword domain protecting his body, it was much easier for him to kill the remaining fifteen sword artists without any effort at all, passing through the seventh floor.
Eighth layer …
The number of swordsmen had increased by several times, reaching three hundred.
However, for Ye Chen, there was no difference between three hundred and one hundred swordsmen. His Sword Domain had already reached the peak of the second layer. How could three hundred swordsmen be enough?
After easily passing through the eighth layer, Ye Chen arrived at the ninth layer.
Outside …
"Ye Chen has also reached the ninth layer."
"I wonder if he will stop at the ninth layer, like Marquis Sword Star."
Everyone discussed spiritedly.
The discussion didn't last long before the ancient 'ten' character flashed on the invisible barrier.
"Tenth layer … this should be your limit! Sword Domain is not that easy to raise. Moreover, you've never trained in the Sword World before. "
Ye Chen reaching the tenth layer was still within Marquis Sword Star's tolerance. In any case, the other party had comprehended Sword Domain before him and reached the tenth layer. Being one layer higher than him didn't mean anything, as he would be able to catch up very quickly. If Ye Chen couldn't even pass the ninth layer, Marquis Sword Star would be disappointed instead. Wouldn't it be meaningless if the opponent didn't have enough strength?
"This Ye Chen is amazing. We were born in Sky Sword Continent, so we have an innate advantage. He is only a sword artist of True Spirit Continent, but not only is his talent exceptional, he is also the first to enter Life and Death realm. His attainment in Sword Domain is not any lower than Marquis Sword Snow's. In my opinion, the top three sword geniuses are none other than him."
Wood Sword King nodded.
"I'm more optimistic about Marquis Sword Snow. He has yet to enter Life and Death realm, but once he does, his Sword Domain might break through to the second layer."
"Right, let's see if Ye Chen can pass the tenth layer and reach the eleventh layer. If he can, it means that his attainment in Sword Domain is on par with Marquis Sword Snow. If he can't, it means that his previous accumulation has been used up, and he needs to accumulate strength again. Just like Marquis Sword Star's accumulation, he managed to reach the ninth layer."
Subconsciously, the Life and Death Sword Kings were more optimistic about Marquis Sword Snow. After all, Marquis Sword Snow was from Sky Sword Continent, and his talent in sword dao was indeed frightening.
The tenth layer had the same number of sword artists as the ninth layer, one thousand.
What was important was not the quantity, but the fact that the tenth floor's sword artists also had Sword Domain. Although it was the weakest Sword Domain, not even reaching the early first layer, the difference between having Sword Domain and not having Sword Domain was like the difference between heaven and earth. There was no comparison. Therefore, Ye Chen had to spend quite a bit of effort to kill them. The opponent's Sword Domain was weakening his Sword Domain.
Puff!
After killing the last sword artist, Ye Chen smoothly passed the tenth layer.
"Eleventh layer!"
The outside world was in an uproar. The difference between the tenth and eleventh layer was like heaven and earth. The tenth layer was the peak of the first layer, while the eleventh layer was the second layer. The difficulty was ten times higher.
Marquis Sword Star's breathing paused, "According to master, the eleventh layer still has one thousand sword artists, but the Sword Domain is at the first layer. Even if Ye Chen's Sword Domain is at the second layer, it won't be easy to pass. He won't be able to pass this layer."
If the gap wasn't too big, Marquis Sword Star had the confidence to catch up. But, if the gap was too big, it wouldn't be easy.
Just as Marquis Sword Star had said, the Sword Domain of the one thousand sword artists had indeed reached the first layer. Back when Ye Chen fought Marquis Sword Snow, he was also at this level. But now, he had to deal with a thousand. Although these sword artists couldn't release their Zhen Yuan, their long-range attacks were still extremely frightening.
A dozen sword artists surrounded Ye Chen and used Sword Domain to weaken Ye Chen's Sword Domain.
"Die!"
Ye Chen's sword appeared and disappeared mysteriously, killing the first batch of sword artists.
