On the fifteenth floor, all the swordsmen were at the initial stage of the second layer.
On the sixteenth floor, it was the intermediate stage of the second layer.
On the seventeenth floor, it was the late stage of the second layer.
If it was before, it would be difficult for him to deal with three to five swordsmen. After all, his Sword Domain was only at the peak stage of the second layer, which was only a small level away from the late stage of the second layer. He could easily suppress his opponents in a one-on-one fight, but it would be a little difficult for him to deal with three to five swordsmen at once. He could only rely on his superb swordsmanship to kill them, but it would also be a little dangerous for him.
In fact, Ye Chen was a special case. If it was someone else who had just broken through to the third layer of the Sword Domain, they could at most reach the fifteenth floor. It would be impossible for them to reach the sixteenth floor.
However, Ye Chen reached the seventeenth floor.
This was an anomaly.
Ye Chen knew that the reason he could reach the seventeenth floor was not because of the third layer of the Sword Domain, but because of the ability to control the sword with his heart.
Reaching the third layer of the Sword Domain didn't necessarily mean that one would grasp the ability to control the sword with his heart. However, once one grasped the ability, the Sword Domain would definitely reach the third layer, or even the fourth layer. The two were related, but not necessarily.
By relying on the ability to control the sword with his heart, Ye Chen's close combat strength had increased by several times, and his overall strength had also increased by a level. Of course, the ability to control the sword with his heart didn't increase much in terms of offensive strength. If his offensive strength was high enough, there would be only a few five-star battle prowess that could be a match for Ye Chen.
On the seventeenth floor, Ye Chen's lost left leg had already recovered. Pushing the third layer of the Sword Domain to the limit, Ye Chen's figure moved like a god, and the sword in his hand stabbed out repeatedly without any warning. Every stab would inevitably cause a swordsman to fall to the ground. There was no sword, only heart-palpitating sword light.
Kill!
Ye Chen's killing intent was constantly increasing. If these swordsmen were living beings, then Ye Chen would have definitely killed tens of thousands of people in these twenty days. Every time he killed a person, Ye Chen's skill would increase by a bit. Up until now, Ye Chen's sword art was no longer just a sword art, it had risen to a kind of art of killing.
However, the seventeenth level wasn't so easy to pass. Towards the end, crisscrossing sword scars appeared on Ye Chen's body. This was an extremely dangerous sign. Not to mention the slightest bit of carelessness, if he didn't maintain a state of surpassing his limits at all times, he would immediately be killed by the flurry of swords and expelled from the Sword Realm.
Fortunately, after comprehending Sword Control with the Heart, Ye Chen's mental state was surprisingly good. His mind was no longer so easily fatigued. Instead, the more he fought, the braver he became.
Seventeenth floor, passed.
The eighteenth floor.
In the outside world, the number 18 flashed on the invisible barrier.
Those who saw this scene almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Was there an end to this? Either he was stuck in the fifteenth floor for more than twenty days, or he suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, rushing to the eighteenth floor. No one could endure such a huge stimulation. One must know that even the Azure Cloud Sword Emperor had only reached the eighteenth floor.
"Is it a ghost trying to break through the Sword Realm?"
Some people thought nervously.
The eighteenth floor corresponded to the peak of the third level of Sword Domain. For Ye Chen to be able to reach this floor, not to mention that no one would be able to do it in the future, it was almost unprecedented.
However, the eighteenth floor and the seventeenth floor were completely different. Not to mention that the swordsmen here had reached the peak of the second level of Sword Domain, the swordsmen's swordsmanship was forcibly raised to a higher level. From the first to the seventeenth floor, the power of the swordsmen's swordsmanship was about the same. Even if there was an increase in power, it wouldn't be too ridiculous. But on the eighteenth floor, the swordsmen's swordsmanship was unbelievably powerful. Every single one of them was a genius swordsman.
Although Ye Chen was a genius, he couldn't resist the encirclement of so many genius swordsmen!
After killing only three swordsmen, Ye Chen was killed. It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that the eighteenth floor was too abnormal. Dozens of swordsmen had surrounded him, and even the Heart Controlling Sword Ability couldn't stop them.
Being able to kill three swordsmen was already commendable.
"Amazing!"
In the void, Ye Chen opened his eyes, his expression filled with amazement.
The Sword Realm contained countless swordsmanship. Up until now, he hadn't seen many that repeated themselves. On the eighteenth floor, the first batch of swordsmen had all possessed powerful swordsmanship comparable to Marquis Sword Star's Seven Star Point Killing Sword Art. It was to the extent that he couldn't exist for even a split second. In that split second, he could only kill three swordsmen before being killed.
The Sword Realm was worthy of being the sacred land of Sky Sword Continent.
Not to mention anything else, merely being able to experience countless swordsmanship was a great benefit. Ye Chen had only created one or two styles of Vibrational Sword Arts, Sky Shattering Sword Arts, and Autumn Water Sword Arts. Originally, if he wanted to create more, it would've been impossible without a few years. However, at this moment, Ye Chen had countless inspirations. Thousands of swordsmanship were playing out in his mind, each of them different, containing the lifelong effort and wisdom of the masters of these swordsmanship.
"Fortunately, my soul is powerful enough to hold so much information on swordsmanship."
Ye Chen's soul was ten times that of ordinary Life and Death Kings, and the amount of information he could hold was also ten times that of ordinary Kings. Moreover, he had photographic memory. This photographic memory was not an ordinary kind of photographic memory. If memorizing a book was photographic memory, it would be the lowest grade of photographic memory. Any Sea of Soul realm martial artist could do it. Ye Chen's photographic memory allowed him to memorize thousands of swordsmanship in his mind and extract them at any time to deduce them.
Of course, Ye Chen was not a god. He could deduce all the swordsmanship below the tenth layer, but the swordsmanship above the tenth layer contained more than just information. A glance was not enough.
"I'll deduce the swordsmanship below the tenth layer first. As for the swordsmanship above the tenth layer, there's still a long way to go."
Ye Chen decided to leave. Biting off more than one could chew was a principle that everyone understood. However, only a few could do it. There were several thousand swordsmanship below the tenth layer, which was enough for Ye Chen to digest for a while.
The incorporeal barrier rippled, and the blue-robed Ye Chen walked out.
"Ye Chen! It's Ye Chen!"
Everyone stood up with fiery expressions.
If they were somewhat unconvinced of Ye Chen before, thinking that the rumors were exaggerated, then right now, they only had admiration. How many people could pass through the eighteenth layer of the Sword Realm? Azure Sky Sword Emperor was the only one, and now, Ye Chen was added to the mix. If they were unconvinced, then what else could they be convinced of? If they couldn't even acknowledge someone else's talent, then they weren't fit to be a sword artist.
Ye Chen didn't expect that his appearance would cause such a huge commotion.
"Ye Chen, you're not going to continue?" A sword artist mustered his courage and asked.
Ye Chen smiled, "Not anymore. I'm going back to digest."
"Ye Chen, I wonder if you're taking disciples. My son is thirteen years old this year, and his talent is amazing. If he can become your disciple, it would be his fortune."
Seeing that Ye Chen wasn't as cold as before, a middle-aged sword artist said with a face full of hope.
"Ye Chen, I also have a grandson."
"My granddaughter …"
For a moment, everyone recommended their juniors to Ye Chen. If they could become the disciple of a peerless sword dao genius like Ye Chen, one in ten thousand years, their future accomplishments could be easily imagined. For Ye Chen to be so powerful at such a young age, he must have a unique path of development.
Ye Chen's thoughts flickered. He had never thought of taking disciples before, because he didn't even have enough time. How could he teach disciples? It would be good enough if he didn't mislead them.
But now, it was necessary for him to take disciples. A powerful master was only one person, but a powerful disciple was many people. The Ye family couldn't be guarded by him alone. It was not that he didn't have confidence in the Ye family, but with the resources of the Ye family, it would be hard for them to produce a Life and Death King. Although his brother Ye Xuan had great talent, becoming a Life and Death King was still as hard as ascending the heavens. Otherwise, if any genius with great talent could become a Life and Death King, Life and Death Kings would be everywhere.
Apart from this, Ye Chen also had the thought of unifying the sects.
Ye family, Sky Cloud Martial School, and Eternal Sky Martial School all needed his care. If it was feasible, he would combine these three forces and form a sword dao sect. Of course, whether it was feasible or not, he would have to go back and discuss it. If it really didn't work, then he would think about it again.
"Everyone, taking disciples is not a business. If you all have sincerity, you can find me at the Ye family of South Rudra Region. I, Ye Chen, will never accept disciples who only look impressive. You all should be prepared for this. However, if your talent is not bad, you can also become an attendant of my Ye family. When I have time, I will also impart my experience and sword arts to them."
Ye Chen's words were watertight and full of sincerity.
"True Spirit Continent South Rudra Region Ye Family … Alright, I will bring my grandson there next month. At worst, I will spend a lot of spirit stones and use the conveyor gate."
From True Spirit Continent to Sky Sword Continent, there were a few conveyor gates in operation. However, the cost would be too high, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford it. But, there was no need to teleport from Sky Sword Continent to True Spirit Continent at once. One could teleport a bit at a time. Between the two continents, there were also many islands with conveyor gates.
"Alright, Ye Chen will take his leave first. Everyone, I hope to see you again."
After saying these words, Ye Chen's figure flickered and directly entered the void, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the news of Ye Chen reaching the eighteenth layer of Sword Realm spread out at a frightening speed. On this day, the news of Ye Chen's willingness to accept a disciple also spread out along with the former, causing a huge impact on the Sky Sword Continent.
Everything had its pros and cons. Ye Chen's actions made all the Sword Kings of Sky Sword Continent extremely unhappy. Someone from their own continent running off to another continent to find a master? What was this? This was Sky Sword Continent, not something True Spirit Continent could compare to.
Ye Chen immediately became a thorn in the eyes of all the Sword Kings of Sky Sword Continent.
In the void, Ye Chen was shuttling back and forth.
"Sword Domain has broken through to the third layer, and its might has increased greatly. However, the consumption of Zhen Yuan is also enormous. My cultivation base is still a bit low. Blackwater Alliance, it's time for you to bleed."
Without returning to Ye family, Ye Chen streaked across the sky of True Spirit Continent, flying in the direction of Blackwater Alliance.
