Chapter 517: Starfall
Ye Chen frowned. Despite reaching the Extremity Immortal Realm, there was a gnawing sensation in the back of his mind that wouldn’t leave him. He did not think the sensation was something to be ignored. Although cultivators couldn’t blindly trust their feelings, it still did not prevent the fact their intuition was an important factor when considering how to act. Especially for someone who mastered the Law of Time. Those that did would only have a stronger intuition.
He thought he would not easily fall into danger after reaching the Extremity Immortal Realm, but his intuition told him wrong.
“Just what is the source of this danger?” Ye Chen asked himself.
Logically speaking, he should not be in danger unless he directly invaded the camp of a first-rate force alone. Ye Chen did not fear emperor-level war formation because, despite their impressive power, they did not have the same speed. So, even if he was surrounded by emperor-level war formations, he could escape.
Not to mention that the first-rate forces came from fragmented inheritances. Compared to the Numinous Sword Sect’s war formations, they would have to send more immortals to achieve the same level of power that the Numinous Sword Sect could for less.
That only left other immortal emperors. He knew that the Numinous Sword Sect’s two awakened sword emperors had severely injured the Ripple Emperor and the Redmoon Emperor before they completely perished. He had to be careful of both emperors as a newly ascended sword emperor, but Ye Chen didn’t think that the both of them teaming up could threaten his life.
If anything, Ye Chen suspected that the true danger came from a hidden emperor, the one that destroyed the Wavefold Sect. ‘Maybe it’s not an immortal emperor, but an immortal sovereign? After all, even an immortal emperor wouldn’t have the ability to destroy the Wavefold Sect.’
Ye Chen shook his head. If there really was an immortal sovereign, then the Numinous Sword Sect’s situation would only be more dire than it already was.
Getting rid of unnecessary thoughts, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh in regret. Only after entering the Extremity Immortal Realm did he learn about the true situation of the sect. Not only was he the sole sword emperor, but the sect lost their four divine swords. Three of them vanished mysteriously, and the fourth one was stolen by either the Ripple Emperor or the Redmoon Emperor.
