With a sword in one's heart, it was hard to avoid mistakes, because the human heart was not perfect. Without a sword in one's heart, one would be able to achieve true precision and perfection. Just like how you cared about something, but if you cared about it too much, you would lose your original judgment. Being without a sword in one's heart didn't mean giving up on the sword, it was just fusing the sword into one's blood and spirit, becoming a part of oneself.
Originally, Ye Chen had only comprehended the state of being without a sword in one's heart, but under the pressure of Yin Wind Demonic Emperor, Ye Chen's body instinctively moved. In other words, taking out the sword had already become his instinct, without the need to think in his heart. At this moment, the thoughts in his heart could no longer keep up with Ye Chen's instinct.
"Raging Evil Chop!"
Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's famous blade art was the Yin Wind Six Spells, and this was the third style. Compared to Full Moon, this move was not only brutal, but also had a lawless arrogance. Compared to Raging Sea Waves, this move's violence was purer and more direct. The Yin Wind Six Spells could be said to be the combination of six sets of blade arts, and each style was the strongest move of the set.
Boom!
Amidst the earth-shattering noise, a sharp saber light extended out. The farther the distance, the longer the saber light became. It seemed like it could be stretched infinitely, and with the most violent manner, it slashed at the enemy.
Since the move was not exquisite enough, then he would use absolute blade energy to crush the opponent.
"Guarding Sword Like a Mountain!"
Ye Chen did not blindly attack. The opponent's blade energy had already reached the point of ignoring the flaws. Even if he could hit the flaws, the remaining blade energy would be enough to heavily injure him. Holding the Sky Scorpio Sword with both of his hands, Ye Chen let out a low roar. His entire body's sword energy soared as he fiercely stabbed the sword into the ground.
In the next moment, the berserk sword energy, with Ye Chen as the center, erupted upwards. Because the sword energy erupted too fast, when it reached the highest point, it slowed down again, causing a large amount of sword energy to stack up, continuously compressing and solidifying, eventually condensing into a towering mountain phantom. The cliff was overflowing with greenery.
Kacha!
The sharp blade-light fiercely slashed on the illusory mountain peak, splashing up countless illusory stones. Compared to real stones, these illusory stones were many times harder, even steel and iron couldn't compare. After this strike, although the illusory sword-shaped mountain peak was covered with cracks, it wasn't cut into two.
"Defensive sword move!"
It wasn't that the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor hadn't seen defensive sword moves before, but those were all old antiques who had lived for thousands of years. His Evil Spirit Race had experts who had created defensive sword moves, but how old was Ye Chen?
Ye Chen's blood and Qi were boiling, but he didn't move at all. This move was a defensive sword move that he had created in the past year, and it contained both earth profound and wood profound. For a sword artist, it was good to be aggressive, but it didn't mean that he could only attack and not defend. When there was a huge difference in strength between him and the enemy, a defensive sword move was the only chance to turn the situation around, because only by staying alive could he counterattack.
"Let's see how many of my attacks you can block!"
The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor no longer wasted his energy on being surprised, there was only one thought left in his mind, and that was to kill Ye Chen.
The sharp blade-light was like a violent storm, crazily slashing towards the illusory mountain peak. Every time it slashed, it would expand the cracks on it, and even if Ye Chen used all his strength to repair the cracks, he still couldn't offset this destructive speed.
"Break for me!"
Seeing that the illusory mountain peak was about to collapse, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's evil force surged, and he slashed out the fourth move of the Yin Wind Art, Yin Wind Wave Breaker.
In silence, the illusory mountain peak was split into two, and the bone-piercing blade-light was like a cold wind sweeping over the sea, sweeping towards Ye Chen.
This was the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's killing move, and it was also the moment for Ye Chen to counterattack.
The moment the illusory mountain peak was shattered, Ye Chen's killing move had already finished accumulating power. He pulled out the Sky Scorpio Sword from the ground, and with a slanted slash, a dazzling light burst out. The moment the light burst out, the space within several meters suddenly became still. The blade energy that the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor had sent out was blurry like a cold wind, but after the space became still, the cold wind rapidly condensed, turning into a transparent, grey blade light that was as thin as a cicada's wing. Just like that, it froze in front of Ye Chen. At the same time, Ye Chen's Sky Scorpio Sword slowly pierced towards the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor. The light it emitted was distorted, as if it had entered a kaleidoscope.
The third move of the Heaven Shattering Sword Arts, Momentary Brilliance.
"No!"
The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor roared inwardly. He could feel that the closer he got to the tip of Ye Chen's sword, the greater the void pressure he felt. This void pressure did not only affect his outer appearance, but also his thoughts. From the inside to the outside, he couldn't move a single inch. His blood stopped flowing, Zhen Yuan stopped flowing, and even the most basic particles of flesh and blood stopped moving.
As if a year had passed, or just a moment, Ye Chen's Sky Scorpio Sword slowly sank into the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's heart. In the next moment, the space returned to normal, and Ye Chen's movement was released. The tip of the sword came out of the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's back, creating a bloody hole on his chest and back.
At the same time, the gray-colored blade light in the void cut through Ye Chen's left shoulder. The blood was frozen like ice, and not a single drop of blood splashed out.
Pulling out the sword, Ye Chen's figure flashed, and he retreated. Along the way, he vomited several mouthfuls of blood. This blood was brimming with vitality, and contained rich life Yuan Qi. What was life Yuan Qi? Specifically speaking, it was lifespan. After vomiting several mouthfuls of blood filled with life Yuan Qi, Ye Chen didn't know how many years of lifespan he had lost. At least, he felt that something was missing.
Wah!
Standing still, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor wanted to vomit blood, but he found that he couldn't vomit anything. His five viscera and six bowels, as well as his chest bones, were all devoured by this sword.
The Yin Wind Demonic Emperor's eyes were filled with shock and anger, and there was a vague fear that he couldn't get rid of. This sword had brought him too much of a threat. Under this sword, at least one-third of the evil power in his body had been annihilated. Countless sword Qi was roaming inside his body, and he couldn't get rid of it in a short time. He could only use his own evil power to resist.
"How could there be such a fast sword? I couldn't even see the process."
Demon Flower Emperor sucked in a breath of cold air. She wasn't the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor, and from her angle, she didn't see the space freeze. She only saw a dazzling light flash, so fast that she thought she was hallucinating.
"This is the advanced use of space profound."
Xuanhou's eyes had never been so serious. That flash of image kept appearing in her mind, and she tried to analyze it.
"What sword art is this?"
Tian Xie's nerves were stretched taut. That flash was too short, and he couldn't react at all. He only knew that after Ye Chen's defense was broken, the two separated again. Tian Xie was heavily injured, and Ye Chen lost an arm.
The hand holding the Sky Scorpio Sword faintly trembled as he panted heavily. That sword strike just now was his greatest achievement in the past year. It was called Split second of Glory.
Split Moment of Glory contained the space profound, but it wasn't perfect, nor was it great completion. It was still at seventy percent space profound. The higher the level of space profound, the harder it was to progress, as if it had reached a bottleneck.
In the past, Ye Chen thought that the sword move created with seventy percent space profound couldn't surpass the sword move created with two great completion profounds. However, he soon realized that he was wrong. From the very beginning, he had made a mistake. Space profound was vast and profound, and no other profounds could compare to it. Without exaggerating, an ordinary profound couldn't even compare to one-tenth of it. The reason why the sword move he created couldn't keep up with his progress was because of the problem of application.
Space profound was hard to comprehend, and application was even harder.
The first style of Heaven Shattering Sword Arts, Bewitching Mirror Shattering, and the second style, Orbital Slaughter, could only be considered low-level application. It was the most superficial understanding, just like how one would think of a golden mountain as an ordinary mountain.
Therefore, although they were both seventy percent profound, Split Moment of Glory was ten times more exquisite than the second style of Heaven Shattering Sword Arts, Orbital Slaughter. The two simply weren't on the same level.
As he dug deeper into the space profound, Ye Chen vaguely felt that Four Extreme Emperor's space profound most likely hadn't reached great completion, perhaps only at eighty percent. Ye Chen thought that Four Extreme Emperor's space profound had reached great completion, or else he wouldn't have been able to form the foundation of space profound.
"Space profound contains all kinds of energy profounds. This is an inexhaustible mountain of gold. Even if I only know space profound in this life, I will still be able to advance!"
Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
Regarding Split Moment of Glory, Ye Chen was very satisfied. However, he also knew that it was just in its embryonic form, and its effective range was very small, only several zhang. Even so, he had already suffered a huge backlash. He could use the low-level application of space profound as many times as he wanted, but the backlash from Split Moment of Glory wasn't something ordinary people could endure, because the price of the backlash was the loss of their life.
It was just like a mortal using the power of a god, causing a backlash.
The reason why he didn't use Split Moment of Glory to deal with the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor was precisely because of the problem of effective range. The distance between the two was too far, and the frozen space effect of Split Moment of Glory couldn't affect the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor. The battle between the two was too fast, and there was no way for Ye Chen to successfully use Split Moment of Glory. Therefore, Ye Chen could only first use Defensive Sword Like a Mountain to turn from offense to defense, and prepare to use Split Moment of Glory.
"High-level application?"
Hearing Xuanhou's words, the Demon Flower Emperor didn't quite understand. In terms of martial arts realm, she was countless times worse than Xuanhou.
Xuanhou explained, "Time and space are both supreme profounds, and have power close to the rules. Therefore, it is very difficult to use them. Low-level application only involves the appearance, while high-level application involves the operation of the rules. Ye Chen's sword just now caused space to stand still, violating the operation of the rules. Therefore, the Yin Wind Demonic Emperor couldn't resist at all. However, he also lost a lot of his life, which is the price of violating the rules."
"Involving the operation of the rules?"
The Demon Flower Emperor exclaimed in surprise.
"Time and space profound, you don't need to fully comprehend it to be able to interfere with the rules. Other ordinary profound can also interfere with the rules slightly after reaching perfection. However, under normal circumstances, many people have reached perfection in their profound, but they haven't used this profound to the limit, so they can't interfere with the rules."
"In other words, comprehending the profound is still just the foundation, the key lies in the application."
