Supreme Sword God

Luo Wen was almost scared out of his wits.

Fight one-on-one?

He only dared to make that bluff with Huang Yu beside him to save face.

Though he possessed the Six Caves to Heaven, his strength was far inferior to Huang Yu, who had Four Caves to Heaven and was also an Earth Seal Spirit Master.

Huang Yu had been beaten half to death by Ye Chen in just a few strikes; Luo Wen knew well what his fate would be if they clashed.

Seeing Huang Yu’s miserable state lying on the ground, and recalling Zhang Yue’s condition, Luo Wen was drenched in cold sweat.

"Scared?" Coward!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly, charging forward suddenly, slashing out with his sword!

"Boom!"

Luo Wen’s Grotto Heaven shook, his body flew backward.

"Ye Chen, our Luo Family will not let you off, and neither will our Luo Family’s ancestor!" Luo Wen roared.

"Even if your Luo Family ancestor Luo Jianren stood before me today, I’d still slash him without hesitation!"

"Swoosh!"

Ye Chen swung another sword strike.

"Whizz whizz whizz!"

The Infinite Star Sword Array surged forth with whistling winds.

Had Luo Wen truly dared to fight, even with Six Caves to Heaven, he wouldn’t be so pathetic. But he had lost all courage to battle.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Luo Wen’s Grotto Heaven was completely shattered!

Ye Chen took a step, pressing Luo Wen underfoot.

"Ye Chen, our Luo Family is mighty in East Desolate City. Opposing us means a horrid death for you!" Luo Wen screamed shrilly.

"I can tell you; the end for the Luo Family is near. Three thousand years ago, many soldiers of the Black Armor Army were betrayed and perished, and someone has already uncovered the secret. This involves your Luo Family. As long as I dig up those sealed files, there will be clues!"

Ye Chen shouted coldly, exerting force with his foot, knocking Luo Wen unconscious.

"I’ve thrown the bait to you, coward. Make sure to tell your old ancestor when you wake!" Ye Chen muttered, then kicked Luo Wen away, beginning to move swiftly in the Heaven-Reaching Realm area.

Absorbing Celestial Essence Qi no longer had much effect; he needed to find the Celestial Essence Fruit quickly.

Using Celestial Essence Fruit to convert the foundation laid by Celestial Essence Qi into power!

To gain something soon, Ye Chen unleashed the full power of his eyes, using the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to observe the flow of Celestial Essence Qi within the Celestial Essence Sacred Land.

The Celestial Essence Fruit wasn’t actually a fruit but was formed by the gathering of Celestial Essence Qi undergoing some unique transformation.

Each Celestial Essence Fruit was hidden within the flowing Celestial Essence Qi, existing between real and illusory.

Until now, people entering the Celestial Essence Sacred Land mostly relied on luck to find them.

"Zizi, come out and help find things!"

Ye Chen sent a telepathic message into the Sword Tomb, releasing Little Phoenix afterward.

Without another word, he let Little Phoenix swallow a clump of ancient clan origin!

Then, Ye Chen briefly explained the characteristics of the Celestial Essence Fruit. One man and one bird split up, agreeing to meet in seven days.

Ye Chen went straight to the Dharma Realm area. After all, the denser the Celestial Essence Qi, the higher the probability of finding a Celestial Essence Fruit.

Upon reaching the region where the Dharma Realm barrier lay, a light suddenly flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, and he immediately darted left.

He reached out his right hand, energy surging, grabbing toward what appeared to be empty space, and a cluster of Celestial Essence Qi coalesced into a transparent little fruit-like energy appeared in Ye Chen’s palm.

"Celestial Essence Fruit!"

A trace of an excited smile appeared at the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth, and he swallowed the Celestial Essence Fruit instantly!

At once.

A surge of abundant energy exploded within him.

This energy was extremely pure and easy to refine. Under Ye Chen’s control, the energy of the Celestial Essence Fruit converted into Sword Yuan at incredible speed!

Half an hour later.

After completely refining the energy of one Celestial Essence Fruit, Ye Chen felt invigorated, like he’d consumed a supreme tonic!

If Miss Hei were here, I could... just forget it, no silly thoughts!

Keep searching for Celestial Essence Fruits; the effect is too formidable. I just broke through to the Unity Realm Seventh Layer not long ago, and now I’m almost reaching the peak of Unity Realm Seventh Layer.

This was because his energy was so vast, making breakthroughs difficult. For an average Unity Realm martial artist, one Celestial Essence Fruit would be enough to break through two or three layers!

Of course.

Celestial Essence Fruits do not provide infinite effectiveness, as their effects will gradually diminish with use until they become ineffective.

But even if the subsequent Celestial Essence Fruits were less effective than the first, Ye Chen was still filled with motivation!

In short, to save time becoming stronger, he must seize every chance and waste none.

Ye Chen immediately returned to the barrier.

"Let Zizi help me find the ones in the Heaven-Reaching Realm area. I must head to the Dharma Realm area, where the likelihood of finding Celestial Essence Fruits is much greater!"

Ye Chen muttered to himself, merging his spirit and martial energy, deploying full force as he slashed at the invisible barrier before him.

"Boom!"

A huge backlash directly flung Ye Chen’s body away.

Ye Chen immediately conjured the semi-sacred artifact Heaven-Suppressing Treasure Tower obtained from the Situ Family of the Hidden Family.

The power of the Soldier Character Secret activated, a terrifying aura erupted from within the Heaven-Suppressing Treasure Tower, fiercely striking the barrier!

"Boom!"

This time, a huge hole was blown through the barrier!

Ye Chen did not hesitate, his figure flashing as he rushed through, retrieving the Heaven-Suppressing Treasure Tower, continuing to search for Celestial Essence Fruits.

......

Another seven days passed in a flash.

With six Celestial Essence Fruits in hand, Ye Chen returned to the Heaven-Reaching Realm area, where he had agreed to meet Little Phoenix.

Taking advantage of Little Phoenix’s absence, Ye Chen directly swallowed a Celestial Essence Fruit and began to refine it,

Indeed, the effects were not as intense as the first time, but the pleasure was the same!

The power within Ye Chen roared, his aura continuously rising.

The effect of consuming the second Celestial Essence Fruit was short-lived. At this moment, Ye Chen had reached Unity Realm Seventh Layer peak, only a hair’s breadth from breaking through to Eighth Layer!

Without hesitation, he swallowed another Celestial Essence Fruit.

"Buzz!"

Intense sharpness erupted from Ye Chen, Sword Yuan transformed into Sword Qi, howling across.

After swallowing all the remaining Celestial Essence Fruits and refining them, his cultivation realm was stuck at the peak of Unity Realm Eighth Layer.

At this moment.

Little Phoenix finally flew back.

"Elder Brother, I found two, here!"

Little Phoenix’s claws each tossed a Celestial Essence Fruit to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen promptly swallowed both Celestial Essence Fruits in one go.

"Boom!"

The stuck cultivation realm instantly broke through!

Unity Realm, Ninth Layer!

Previously, in the Heaven-Reaching Realm area, he found a Celestial Essence Fruit, and in the Dharma Realm area, he found six Celestial Essence Fruits. Little Phoenix efficiently found two Celestial Essence Fruits.

A total of nine Celestial Essence Fruits obtained.

From Unity Realm Seventh Layer, breaking through to Unity Realm Ninth Layer!

He had only been in the Celestial Essence Sacred Land for half a month by now.

Saving a tremendous amount of time!

However, after consuming nine Celestial Essence Fruits, there seemed to be little effect left.

If not for the fact that this thing would become ineffective outside the Celestial Essence Sacred Land, he would continue searching, take a few out, and gift them to Senior Brother, Senior Sister, and Fatty Luo Tian.

"Zizi, return to the Sword Tomb first. I need to leave now." Ye Chen said, then sent Little Phoenix back into the Sword Tomb.

For the upcoming visit to the Dao Rhythm Spirit Pool, Ye Chen held high expectations!
