After the discussion with the holy spirit, the plan was carried out immediately.
Inside the devouring island, almost ninety-nine percent of the people had never left. It was not that they did not want to, but they could not. Even if they were not exploited, it would still take them fifty to sixty years to pay the full amount of Zhen yuan crystals and leave. But now, everything was finally over.
Hearing Ye Chen say that everyone could leave, most of the people cried tears of joy.
They had never thought that they would be able to leave. It was like a lifetime ago.
Ye Chen understood what they were feeling. Waiting for them to calm down a bit, he continued to say, "The devouring island used to be a great place, but the Black Water alliance was greedy and lawless. I, Ye Chen, had also been tricked into coming here."
"Ye Chen, I remember you."
"Me too."
A lot of people recognized Ye Chen.
Ye Chen chuckled. It was not strange for so many people to remember him, since he was the one who had turned the devouring island upside down and taken two million Zhen yuan crystals from the Black Water alliance.
"I have already discussed with the holy spirit of the devouring island. We are going to change the rules. Astral Reaching Realm warriors will only need to pay one thousand Zhen yuan crystals and you will be able to leave. Every month, you will only need to give us two Zhen yuan crystals. Sea of Souls Realm warriors will need to give us five thousand Zhen yuan crystals and ten thousand Zhen yuan crystals. Half step king warriors will need to give us twenty Zhen yuan crystals each month. The rest will belong to you all. Therefore, after you leave today, you can come back in the future. I believe no one will think that they are rich enough, since Zhen yuan crystals are even more precious than extreme rank soul stones."
"Ye Chen, why should we believe you?"
Someone asked back.
Ye Chen laughed, "I am preparing to announce the secret of the devouring island. Do you think I would do something so dirty?"
After hearing what Ye Chen had said, no one doubted him anymore. Once the secret of the devouring island was announced, there would be no more lying. Plus, they did not believe that Ye Chen would lie to them. Otherwise, why would he do all that to let them out?
Once the new rules were created, everyone in the Devouring Island left. Although some of them had just entered, they were still worried and felt that it was better to leave first.
With regards to this situation, Ye Chen was not anxious. The Devouring Island was like a treasure bowl. As long as it was here, there would be an endless supply of wealth. Everyone in the world was after fame and fortune, so there was no need to worry about not having enough people. On the contrary, he was a little worried that the Devouring Island would not be able to accommodate too many people.
The headquarters of the Profound Flower Sword Pavilion was established on the Crystal Island. That was an important place that the Blackwater Alliance used to attract warriors from all over.
The Profound Flower Sword Pavilion had a total of three Pavilion Masters, the Demon Flower Emperor, Xuanhou and Ye Chen. They had an Elder's Association and Duty Hall, and the three factions could send a portion of their people to take charge.
After spending three days, the Profound Flower Sword Pavilion was established. All the members were in place and started to work in an orderly manner.
And on this day, heavenly flowers began to fall from the sky. The heavenly flowers were seven colors, tangible but intangible. They could be seen but not touched.
Someone had entered the Life and Death realm. Moreover, it was the highest grade of seven-colored heavenly flowers, just like Ye Chen.
"It should be Marquis Sword Snow!"
Ye Chen sensed an ice-cold sword intent from the seven-colored heavenly flowers. It meant that the person who had entered the Life and Death realm was a sword artist who had comprehended the ice profound. Apart from Marquis Sword Snow, no one else could fit the description.
…
Sky Sword Continent …
There was a huge mountain range near the Snowflake Sword Sect. At this moment, the eastern part of the mountain range was in a complete mess. Underground flames were spewing out, and Marquis Sword Snow, with snowflakes floating around him, was walking on the cracked ground.
"Shui Han, let me see how strong you are now."
From afar, a figure shot over. Marquis Sword Snow raised his head and said respectfully, "Elder Wu."
This person was the Snowflake Sword Sect's Supreme Elder, a high step King.
"Use your strongest attack. Don't worry. Unless you're a peak King, I won't be injured."
Elder Wu smiled.
"Yes!"
Marquis Sword Snow held his breath and let out a sword strike.
Bang!
Elder Wu, who had raised his sword to block, retreated three steps. Boundless snowflakes exploded, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
"High grade three star … no, it should be peak three star."
Elder Wu was astonished at first, but soon turned ecstatic. He himself was a high grade three star, and yet Marquis Sword Snow had forced him back from a distance. This meant that the latter's battle strength had barely reached peak three star.
If he was already at peak three star, when his profound improved, wouldn't he easily reach low grade four star, or even mid grade four star?
"Your Sword Domain has reached the second layer?" Elder Wu asked.
"Indeed."
Marquis Sword Snow nodded.
"Haha, that's great! That Ye Chen merely entered Life and Death realm a few days earlier than you. In a few years, you'll be able to catch up to him."
Elder Wu laughed heartily. The potential Marquis Sword Snow had displayed was not inferior to Ye Chen's. Although he might not be like Ye Chen, advancing at lightning speed after entering Life and Death realm, he would at least have the possibility of catching up to the latter. The reason why he was so certain was because of the battle strength one had reached the moment they entered Life and Death realm. If one was only low grade or mid grade three star, it would be difficult for one to catch up to Ye Chen. Without some heaven-defying fortune, one would have no hope of catching up.
After all, Ye Chen was like the sun at high noon, and there were new transformations almost every day. If one didn't reach the peak in all aspects, there was no way one could compare to him.
Coincidentally, on the second day after Marquis Sword Snow entered Life and Death realm, three more people entered Life and Death realm. However, their movements were not as great as Marquis Sword Snow's. Among the three, only one had Five-Colored Heavenly Flower, while the other two had Three-Colored Heavenly Flowers. However, the successive phenomena alarmed the major powers of Elysium. In half a year, six people had entered Life and Death realm, which was not a good sign.
Could it be that the Great Calamity of the Outsiders was about to begin?
Regarding the Great Calamity of the Outsiders, not to mention ordinary Kings, even titled Monarchs were flustered. They would be the first to bear the brunt of the calamity. It should be known that even in the ancient era, Elysium had almost changed masters, not to mention the current era, where there were only a few six star Kings, and not a single Seven Star King.
"There's not enough time! I can only stake it all!"
Some powerful Kings came out of seclusion one after another, either entering the king grade forbidden zones in search of treasures, or heading into the starry sky in search of opportunities.
Blood Sky Continent …
On a desolate plain …
"I, Thunder Spirit King, have finally become a Life and Death King!"
Holding the long blade in his hand, Thunder Spirit King raised his head and laughed heartily, his mood surging.
Entering Life and Death realm was the starting point of cultivation. This was something many people knew. Not entering Life and Death realm was equivalent to not cultivating for the rest of one's life. Only by entering Life and Death realm could one comprehend a complete profound and understand the essence of the world. Apart from this, Life and Death Kings had a lifespan of a thousand years. If they could leave their native world, their lifespan could even reach a hundred thousand years. Compared to a hundred thousand years, three hundred years of Sea of Soul realm was nothing.
…
The continuous extravagance did not affect Ye Chen's cultivation at all. He had already started to create the third style of the Autumn Water Sword Spell.
During his trip to the Sword World, Ye Chen had seen thousands of sword arts. Each of them represented a different understanding of the sword. Right now, Ye Chen's mind was filled with sword arts. What he needed to do was to integrate all these sword arts and create his own sword art.
After three days, the third style of the Autumn Water Sword Spell had taken shape.
A sword was shot out. It was smooth and soundless, but its power was enough to cut through everything.
After a week, the third style had reached completion. Pouring Zhen Yuan into the sword, a jade gold sword aura immediately appeared. When the sword aura sliced through the air, there was not a single sound. The power was extremely reserved, like a stream of water. However, the destructive power it released shocked even Ye Chen. It contained the sharpness of gold.
"A sword technique that uses Metal Ultimacy and Water Ultimacy as the foundation is indeed extraordinary."
Profound reaching completion was already an extremely high achievement. When the two were combined into one move, the power would naturally increase exponentially.
Of course, Ye Chen also knew that in terms of moves, he could not compete with the majority of titled monarchs. That was because the majority of titled monarchs had cultivated their profounds to completion. The moves they created were no longer high grade profound martial arts, but close to peak profound martial arts. For example, Xuanhou's World Filling Snow contained both ice and wind profounds. If it were not for the fact that it wasn't perfectly fused, it would definitely be a peak profound martial art.
However, with the sixth step Destruction Sword Intent and Sword Domain, not only did Ye Chen make up for this disadvantage, he even surpassed it.
Time flowed like water.
After a month, the third style of the Autumn Water Sword Spell was finally completed. In terms of power, it was almost on par with the Eight Trigrams Extermination Sword Art. Both had their own merits. One could unleash absolute power in both close and long range combat, while the other needed distance to erupt with shocking destructive power. This made Ye Chen even more perfect and flawless.
"This move shall be called Broken Bones!"
The first style of the Autumn Water Sword Spell was Waning Moon, the second style was Congealing Water, and the third style was Broken Bones.
Broken Bones represented the ability to cut through everything, and its offensive power was extremely high.
After completing the Broken Bones, Ye Chen did not remain idle. He still had to convert the two peak profound martial arts left behind by Fire Emperor into his own sword arts.
Of the two peak profound martial arts left behind by Fire Emperor, one was Sky Piercing Sun, and the other was Merciless Water and Fire. Ye Chen intended to research Merciless Water and Fire.
Merciless Water and Fire, as the name implied, contained the water profound and fire profound.
Ye Chen had already reached the completion of the water profound, and Ye Chen had long since started comprehending the fire profound. After entering the Life and Death realm, he could enter the state of one with the heavens at any time. This allowed him to raise the fire profound to the completion in half a year.
In fact, apart from the space profound and slow profound, all the other profounds Ye Chen had comprehended had reached the completion. They were the metal profound, water profound, wood profound, thunder profound, fast profound, and the earth profound, which he had comprehended from the Five Mountain Godly Fist.
For experienced Life and Death Kings, reaching the completion of one or two profounds was not difficult. What was difficult was comprehending the profounds to perfection. Ye Chen's comprehension was several times that of ordinary Kings. Therefore, in half a year, he had comprehended many profounds to the completion.
"Water profound and fire profound are diametrically opposed. Senior Fire Emperor actually fused the two profounds together and created a peak grade profound martial skill."
The more he researched Merciless Water and Fire, the more astonished Ye Chen became. He had a feeling that once this' Merciless Water and Fire 'was converted into a sword art, its might would be incomparably astonishing. Even if his water and fire profound were only at the completion, the might he could erupt with would not be inferior to ordinary peak grade profound martial skills. Its might would be several times greater than the Autumn Water Sword Arts' third style, Broken Bones.
