Before returning to the Ye family, Ye Chen paid a visit to the South Shallow Sea Alliance. Ever since the yellow-robed old monster was killed by him, the leader of the alliance was none other than the leader of the Water Ape race, Sun Tai.
Sun Tai was, after all, a new Demonic Beast King, barely a mid-step King. Before Sun Xiaojin matured, the Water Ape race did not have the power to suppress the other forces of the alliance. If not for Ye Chen, Sun Tai would still be locked up in a secret prison.
This time, Ye Chen planned to see if there were any bad signs. Regarding Sun Tai becoming the leader, it was impossible for the other deputy leaders to not have any thoughts about it.
Perhaps Ye Chen had underestimated his power. The South Shallow Sea Alliance was in good order, and there were no problems. The other forces did not show any sign of disobeying Sun Tai, either. Instead, they were doing their best, just like before.
"The alliance is fine. Although a few deputy leaders are not convinced by me, they know their limits and do not dare to act recklessly. On the other hand, the Black Evil Island and the Demonic God Cult are a bit unstable. Recently, they even robbed a lot of our resources."
Sun Tai told Ye Chen about the recent events.
"No worries, I will make them behave."
As soon as Ye Chen finished, he disappeared into the surreal space.
The Demonic God Cult was a tyrant of the South Deep Sea. Its power was just below the Chaotic Demon Ocean, on par with the Black Evil Island.
In the sky, Ye Chen's figure appeared.
Without any nonsense, Ye Chen directly performed his Earth Fiend Sword Art. The huge purple sword dived into the seabed, and when it came back up, it turned completely black. A horrifying evil qi spread out, and its sword aura soared into the sky.
"Earth Demonic Emperor, it seems like last time was not enough to scare you."
As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed out his sword finger, and the huge black sword attacked toward the island of the Demonic God Cult.
Crack!
The Demonic God Cult was protected by layers of formations, but under the huge black sword, it was like tofu, easily pierced through. The huge island was cut in half, and the seawater surged.
Next, the Earth Fiend Island also faced Ye Chen's attack. Many experts on the island were frightened, and no one dared to come out.
In a palace at the bottom of the sea, three figures stood there.
"This Ye Chen is so arrogant."
The one who spoke was the Earth Demon Sovereign. However, at this moment, the Earth Demon Sovereign's body was emitting a thick evil aura and his face was filled with malice.
"Let him be happy for a while longer. When our army sweeps through the whole of Elysium, he won't even have time to cry."
The Black Evil Emperor was also full of evil energy.
"Don't underestimate him. In terms of growth rate, this person is the first I've seen in my life. He might become a huge obstacle for us in the future."
The Golden Turtle Great Ancestor, who had to conceal his evil aura, said.
"It's a pity that we haven't familiarized ourselves with this body. Otherwise, with our strength, the three of us would be enough to kill him."
"There's no rush. With Lord Tian Xie around, we will definitely obtain the final victory in this battle. At that time, our Evil Spirit race will be able to get at least 30% of Elysium. How many resources will that be?"
…
After spending a week's time, Ye Chen finally completely restored his True Essence.
It's time to head to the King Conferment Hall to accept my title.
The time limit for the King Conferment Hall to accept his title was one year. If he didn't go within a year, the King Conferment Hall's Hall Spirit would directly teleport him over. Now, one year was almost up.
The Tianwu Region's King Conferment Mountain was a huge mountain that was tens of thousands of feet tall. The peak of the huge mountain was flat as if it had been carved by a knife, and an ancient and majestic square hall sat on it.
Buzz!
The space rippled slightly, and Ye Chen arrived at the square of the King Conferment Hall.
He raised his head and saw a plaque on the door of the hall. There were three ancient words written on the plaque — King Conferment Hall. These three words were not only written with great force, but they also contained a boundless aura. Even if it was Ye Chen, he would be greatly inferior when facing these three words. It was as if he wasn't facing three words, but a mountain that could never be climbed, a vast and boundless starry sky.
"What a powerful will."
Ye Chen didn't know who wrote these three words, but he was sure that the person who wrote these three words had also infused his own will into them. Anyone who came to the King Conferment Hall would feel reverence in their heart, not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect.
As if sensing Ye Chen's arrival, the door of the King Conferment Hall automatically opened, and the lights inside lit up one after another.
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen walked in.
Creak!
The door of the King Conferment Hall closed.
"Is that the King Conferment Pillar?"
Ye Chen didn't care about the door closing behind him. His gaze fell on a bronze pillar at the center of the hall. On it, there were many titles, from top to bottom, densely packed and innumerable. And the first title was not Ancient Emperor. Ancient Emperor was the first titled monarch, but not the first Life and Death King.
"I've been waiting for a long time. Finally, one is here!"
A tender voice suddenly rang out.
"Who?"
Ye Chen had no idea where the voice came from.
"Hehe, I'm here." At the top of the King Conferment Pillar, a petite figure jumped down. On a closer look, it was just a child, about ten years old. He had red lips, white teeth, and big eyes.
"You're the palace spirit?"
Ye Chen probed.
"Indeed."
The palace spirit had a proud look.
"I'm Ye Chen, and I'm here to be conferred a king." Ye Chen found it a bit funny. This palace spirit actually had the appearance of a child. He didn't believe that it was natural.
"Of course I know!" The palace spirit sized up Ye Chen and nodded with maturity, "Your aura is very powerful. Very good. Let me ask you, do you want to be conferred a king casually, or do you want to compete for the Sword King title? I think you have the qualifications to compete for it, although it won't be easy, and the chances of failure are very high."
"With my current strength, I have a high chance of failure?"
Ye Chen asked. His combat strength was already the limit of a five-star overlord. If he had time to accumulate his strength, he could even burst out the combat strength of a six-star overlord.
The palace spirit rolled its eyes, "You think that you can compete for the title of Sword King just because you are strong? Stop dreaming. Competing for the title of Sword King doesn't depend on your combat strength, but your understanding of Sword Dao. At that time, you will realize that you can't even release your killing move, because you won't have time to accumulate your killing move. You can only use ordinary moves to fight, and you won't be able to release your soul power either. A person's life is very long. At the beginning, some people have great opportunities, while others have shallow opportunities. At this time, although those with great opportunities are stronger, it doesn't mean that those with shallow opportunities are weaker than them."
"Let me show you some scenes first, and you will know how strong the Sword King's achievements are." The Temple Spirit waved its hand and a screen of light appeared in front of the Conferred King Pillar. On the screen of light, there were two people, both very young. One had an ordinary appearance and a calm expression, while the other had an incomparably sharp aura. Each of them held an iron sword in their hands.
"Very strong."
At first glance, Ye Chen knew that these two people were very strong. But for some unknown reason, his gaze was fixed on the ordinary-looking young man. This person's aura wasn't obvious, but he didn't give people a feeling of mediocrity. He was like a peerless treasure sword, hidden in its scabbard, without a trace of sword Qi leaking out.
As for the young man with soaring aura, his entire body gave off a feeling of sharpness that could cut through one's skin. He was like the incarnation of a sword. His aura was a sword, his hair was a sword, his gaze was a sword, and his fluttering clothes were a sword. Everything that was related to him was a sword. If someone said that he was weak, Ye Chen would be the first to not believe it.
"Both of them are very strong. That ordinary-looking one should be an ancient Sword King! I wonder who the young man with soaring aura is. "Ye Chen thought.
On the light screen, both sides clashed.
The first to attack was the young man with soaring aura. He waved his iron sword, and with a flash of his body, he slashed down. This sword was incomparably decisive, as if it could cut through anything. Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that his movements were too fast, as if it was in a flash. Could this be related to what the palace spirit said, 'You don't even have time to release your killing move'?
Ding!
Dang! Dang!
The next scene caused Ye Chen's eyes to narrow. Three swords, just three swords, and the young man with soaring aura was defeated. His entire body was cut in half.
The ordinary-looking young man didn't attack, but once he did, his opponent's aura was completely taken away by him. The last sword was incomparably stunning. When the sword was unleashed, the world lost its color. An ordinary sword move actually had such a stunning feeling.
"How is it?" The palace spirit asked with a smile.
"Who is the Sword King's opponent?"
Ye Chen asked.
The Hall Spirit replied, "He's also a very famous swordsman called the Heavenly Sword King. Due to the rules, I can't show you the most powerful image. However, the Heavenly Sword King is considered to be in the top twenty among the swordsmen since ancient times. However, in the hands of the Sword King, he couldn't even block three sword strikes."
"If you don't have the confidence, don't challenge him. Without confidence, you will definitely lose. This is for sure." The palace spirit yawned.
"It doesn't matter whether I have the confidence or not. What's important is that I don't think I will lose."
Ye Chen's eyes burst with the long-lost fighting spirit. To be able to fight with the strongest and most amazing swordsman since ancient times was a rare opportunity. It might only happen once.
"Interesting. Then, I will send you to fight with him!"
The palace spirit stretched its palm towards Ye Chen, and then it grabbed a human-shaped light shadow, sending it into the suspended light screen.
The world was spinning. Ye Chen didn't expect the palace spirit to be so powerful. It helped him condense a consciousness and sent him to an unknown place. He simply couldn't fight back at all.
This was a bamboo forest. When the wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled.
When his feet landed on the ground, Ye Chen's heart calmed down.
On the opposite side, a figure walked over slowly. Although his appearance couldn't be seen clearly, from his calm aura, he was naturally the Ancient Sword King, the strongest swordsman that every swordsman wanted to defeat.
In the King's Bestowal Palace, the yawning palace spirit's expression turned serious. To be honest, Ye Chen was one of the top swordsmen he had seen. Among all the swordsmen since ancient times, he could be ranked in the top three. Otherwise, he wouldn't talk so much nonsense with Ye Chen and even let him watch the battle between Heaven Sword King and the Ancient Sword King. An ordinary swordsman wasn't qualified to enjoy such treatment.
"Ye Chen, regardless of whether you win or lose, this battle will be passed down to the future generations."
The Temple Spirit picked up a fruit and took a bite, muttering unclearly.
