Ha!
Demon Flower Emperor roared and formed a seal with both of her hands. A black demonic flower quietly blossomed and swallowed the twisting shadow before suddenly closing up.
Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng!
The closed demonic flower bulged unceasingly. The twisting shadow was most likely the 'resurrected' Black Smoke King. After all, he was a Life and Death King when he was alive. After being enveloped by the demonic flower, it was impossible for him to not have the slightest bit of resistance. Especially the dense evil power, it actually increased his survivability, surpassing his previous life.
Unfortunately, he was facing the Demon Flower Emperor. Demon Flower Emperor's demonic flower could absorb any form of energy, even the evil power. In terms of evil, Demons were not inferior to Evil Spirit Race. In terms of darkness, Demons were even above Evil Spirit Race. Being enveloped by the demonic flower, there was no way he could make a comeback.
The frequency of the bulging of the demonic flower became lower and lower. On the other hand, the demonic ripples emitted by the demonic flower became more and more powerful. The result could be easily imagined.
Ding!
When there was no movement inside the demonic flower, a pair of claws filled with sinister evil Qi shot out and landed on the ground.
"Unfortunately, this extreme grade artifact has already turned into an evil weapon!"
Xuanhou shook her head, feeling a bit regretful.
"This evil weapon can be used by my clansmen. I'll take it." The evil power on the claws had been mostly absorbed by the demonic flower. As for the remaining evil power, it should be fine as long as demonic power was used to cleanse it. Of course, the evil power on the claws had long since fused with the claws' origin. Demon Flower Emperor had absorbed the majority of the evil power, making the claws' might inferior to the majority of extreme grade artifacts. It was barely stronger than a pseudo extreme grade artifact, but it was already enough. Many Life and Death Kings didn't even have a pseudo extreme grade artifact.
Leaving the Black Smoke Tower, the three entered the third tower.
Inside the third tower was the 'resurrected' Rainstorm King. Rainstorm King's strength was a lot stronger than the Black Smoke King's, and he probably had the strength of a peak mid-step King. However, as soon as he appeared, ninety-nine percent of his yin qi power was destroyed by Ye Chen with a single sword attack. The second sword attack turned him into ashes.
Ye Chen, who had the sixth step Destruction Sword Intent, was also the nemesis of these evil powers, and was even purer than the Demon Flower Emperor. The Demon Flower Emperor absorbed their power, while Ye Chen destroyed their power.
Unknowingly, the three of them had eliminated the nine monarchs and arrived at the eleventh tower.
"That Blood Refinement King's strength is already not inferior to the yellow-robed old monster that you killed. Adding on his inextinguishable yin qi, he can contend against an existence that is twice as strong as the yellow-robed old monster. These thirteen kings of the True Water Palace are each stronger than the last. I wonder how strong the next Golden Bone King will be."
The Blood Refinement Monarch was a Monarch of the tenth tower. His strength was comparable to the current Monarchs. Even the Devil Flower Empress couldn't completely absorb the evil energy of the Demonic Flower Empress in one go. After all, in a situation where the difference in strength wasn't too great, the Demonic Flower Empress wouldn't allow the Devil Flower Empress to absorb his energy. It was just like how the Devil Flower Empress couldn't do anything to the Zhan Tianxiang Emperor, even though the Zhan Tianxiang Emperor was much stronger than the Blood Refinement Monarch.
When they arrived at the top of the Golden Bone Tower, the three's expression changed slightly. At this time, the Golden Bone King was no longer a living being, but a dark golden skeleton with a cold white flame burning in its eye sockets. Waves of evil soul power attacked the three. In terms of evil power, it was more than twice as strong as the Blood Refinement King.
"Eight Trigrams Extermination!"
Ye Chen didn't hesitate. The Sky Scorpio Sword floated above his head and divided into eight, then sixty-four. The sixty-four sword images combined into an Eight Trigrams Sword Array. As soon as the Eight Trigrams Sword Array took shape, a frightening extermination aura covered the sky. Under the amplification of the Destruction Sword Intent, it reached an unprecedented level.
During the battle with the Sword King in the Titled King Palace, Ye Chen had comprehended the state of No Sword in the Hand and No Sword in the Heart, greatly increasing the strength of his soul. This meant that the might of his Sword Control Art had also greatly increased. Moreover, he had also cultivated to the peak of the first layer of Life and Death realm, greatly increasing the purity of his Zhen Yuan. With the combination of the two, the current Eight Trigrams Extermination Sword Art was countless times more powerful than the original Eight Trigrams Extermination Sword Art.
Puff!
Before the Golden Bone King could make a move, the Eight Trigrams Sword Array swept across his body. Like a candle being blown out, the Golden Bone King's body instantly turned into dense yin Qi. This yin Qi was torn apart by the Eight Trigrams Sword Array, and was immediately extinguished by the sword Qi as if it had never existed.
"How did your Sword Control Art's might increase so much?"
Demon Flower Emperor asked in a strange tone.
Ye Chen thought for a moment and honestly said, "My soul's strength has increased a bit. Moreover, I've obtained the true cultivation method of Life and Death realm, raising my cultivation base to the peak of the first layer of Life and Death realm."
"True cultivation method, the peak of the first layer of Life and Death realm?"
Not only Demon Flower Emperor, but Xuanhou also curiously looked over.
Ye Chen knew that he had to explain to the two, "Purely accumulating cultivation base is not true cultivation. In Life and Death realm, there are also realms, divided into nine layers of Life and Death realm. To step into the first layer of Life and Death realm, one must condense one's own Dao Gate in one's dantian. With the Dao Gate as the foundation, one can raise one's realm level by level. However, the laws of Elysium are somewhat incomplete, not as complete as the outside world. Therefore, the true cultivation method has not been leaked. Otherwise, forcibly condensing a Dao Gate would cause the backlash of Elysium's laws, causing the Dao Gate to instantly collapse and turn into ashes."
"But how did you do it?"
Demon Flower Emperor wanted to ask how Ye Chen could cultivate to the first layer of Life and Death realm.
Ye Chen bitterly smiled, "After I defeated the Sword King's consciousness body, the palace spirit told me the true cultivation method. However, he warned me not to impart it to others, lest many Life and Death Kings fall and harm the True Spirit Continent's Yuan Qi."
"So that's how it is."
Demon Flower Emperor and Xuanhou looked pensive.
"I didn't expect Life and Death realm to have nine layers. If one can cultivate to the ninth layer and refine Zhen Yuan nine times, as long as one's martial skills are not too bad, one can easily surpass ten star battle strength." Xuanhou sighed.
Ye Chen nodded. Xuanhou was right. Yuan Emperor was only at the peak of the second layer, but he already had a peak Seven Star battle strength. If he could raise his realm to the ninth layer, surpassing ten stars would be a piece of cake. He wouldn't even need to reach the ninth layer. He could even surpass the eighth layer.
Of course, this was mainly because Yuan Emperor's martial skills were too powerful, and his martial will was also powerful. Even if he was only at the peak of the second layer, he would be able to contend against a fifth layer Life and Death realm expert. Although Life and Death realm experts were suppressed too much by Elysium, not only would their realms be suppressed, but their bodies would also be injured. For a seventh layer Life and Death realm expert, apart from being suppressed by two layers, it was enough to show the might of Yuan Emperor … no, of Elysium's invincible figure of each generation.
"The nine layers of Life and Death realm … The higher one goes, the harder it becomes to cultivate. Apart from having a high rank and a high mental state, one's Dao Gate also needs to be nurtured for a long time. None of these are dispensable. If one is not careful, one's Dao Gate might be damaged, and one's realm might drop, forcing one to cultivate from the beginning. Although I don't know about the situation outside, I can imagine that there shouldn't be many people who can cultivate to the ninth layer."
Breaking through in Life and Death realm was completely different from breaking through under Life and Death realm. If one failed to break through under Life and Death realm, one's realm wouldn't drop. On the other hand, breaking through in Life and Death realm carried a huge risk. Some people might break through from the eighth layer to the ninth layer, and might even drop three or four layers. Under such circumstances, the number of people who could reach the peak of Life and Death realm would be reduced by ninety-nine percent.
It was easy to explain why Demons and other peak experts didn't come to Elysium. Having their realm suppressed didn't matter to them, but having their origin damaged was the same as taking their lives.
Golden Bone King's weapon was a huge blade emitting an evil Qi, which was collected by Ye Chen. He wanted to forge supreme grade swords in the future, and the more supreme grade materials the better. Although these were evil weapons, they were still of good quality. Breaking them down would give him a lot of supreme grade materials, so it was better to be prepared.
With the death of Golden Bone King, there was only one tower left. As for True Water Emperor, he should be at the center of the twelve towers, where the evil power was the strongest.
"Among the twelve kings under True Water Emperor, Sky Destruction King is the strongest. According to historical records, he's more powerful than the other eleven kings combined. I'll first reverse the environment of Sky Destruction Tower."
Xuanhou's expression turned grave as her body floated up.
In the next moment …
An ancient gate appeared above Xuanhou's head. This gate rotated once, and an unfathomable power immediately spread out from it.
"What a marvelous and mysterious way."
Demon Flower Emperor's eyes flashed with curiosity. Using his soul power, he sensed that the void around Sky Destruction Tower had been reversed. The powerful evil power seemed to have a hole, and the air inside the ball leaked out in all directions. This place became a different kind of "vacuum world". The evil power was getting lesser and lesser, and the essence of heaven and earth was getting more and more.
Roar!
At this moment, a wave of earth-shattering baleful energy gushed out from the bottom of the Annihilation Pagoda. Boundless evil energy gushed out, and a distorted figure wrapped in white cloth scuttled out. He grabbed out with his hand, and a white cloth hand the size of a small mountain appeared in the void, grabbing towards the ancient door above Mysterious Queen's head.
"Extinction!"
The Eight Trigrams Sword Formation above Ye Chen's head had already formed, and it attacked at the white hand.
Boom!
Two different kinds of extinction power clashed with each other, clashing against each other.
"Break!"
Pulling out the Iron Blood Silver-Blue Sword, Ye Chen's body flashed. When he appeared again, he was behind the figure wrapped in white cloth, and the figure's body was split into two.
"You all deserve to die. All of you deserve to die. I'm not willing. I hate you!"
The white-clothed figure's inextinguishable yin Qi far surpassed Golden Bone King's. Ye Chen's frightening sword strike merely destroyed a portion of his power. His severed body fluttered like sand, and the white-clothed figure condensed in another direction. His power didn't seem to have been consumed much. His voice was brimming with resentment, making this place seem even more ominous, like hell itself.
"Six star battle power."
Ye Chen's expression turned serious for the first time.
