Supreme Sword God

"Boom!"

Ye Chen, wearing a divine armor and wielding the Celestial Mark Sword, unleashed a hundred kinds of Power of Law with terrifying might.

The Kunpeng, Thunder Qilin, True Dragon, Divine Phoenix—four traces of Supreme Techniques—were deployed, and occasionally a fourth-turn Taiyan Fire Seal exploded, causing the Emperor Realm Evil Spirits to suffer.

Moreover.

He multitasked.

The Infinite Star Sword Array aggressively slaughtered the Evil Spirits below Emperor Realm, clearing out the surrounding area in moments.

In Hentian Emperor’s base camp, there were countless evil spirits.

But...

None dared to charge forward anymore.

Though evil spirits are created by special means, they still fear death!

On the other side.

Luo Tian, with Saint Realm cultivation, executed the Celestial Dao Slash and finally slew the Emperor Realm Evil Spirit he was battling, lifting his sword, he intended to rush towards Ye Chen’s area.

"No need to come, focus on slaying more below Emperor Realm."

Ye Chen shouted.

Luo Tian lacked endurance.

To fight an Emperor Realm, Luo Tian had to maintain high-intensity bursts.

He wouldn’t last long.

Considering this was Hentian Emperor’s base camp, any mishap would be problematic if Luo Tian couldn’t hold his ground later.

Meanwhile.

Ye Chen swung his sword, finally killing a heavily injured Emperor Realm Evil Spirit.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly.

Ye Chen’s brow furrowed.

He noticed something wasn’t right.

The Evil Spirit Qi dispersing after the slain Emperor Realm Evil Spirit seemed... to be absorbed by a concealed force.

Something was off.

"There’s a problem!"

Ye Chen thought silently, feigning calm as he continued to battle the remaining Emperor Realm Evil Spirits, but paid extra attention to subtle changes around.

Sure enough.

The aura dispersing from the dead evil spirits was drawn by a hidden force.

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered.

While he was expending effort to slay evil spirits, someone was stealthily manipulating things from the shadows...

No matter who it was, he must be exposed!

Then, Ye Chen ceased killing.

Instead, he suppressed the remaining Emperor Realm Evil Spirits one by one.

There were four left in total.

Half a moment passed.

The four Emperor Realm Evil Spirits were pierced with holy swords, pinned to the ground, motionless.

Ye Chen called Luo Tian over as well.

Luo Tian’s face was pale.

Not due to injury.

Just his problem with endurance.

"Why not kill them?" Luo Tian looked puzzled at the four Emperor Realm Evil Spirits pinned by Ye Chen.

"They still have some use," Ye Chen replied, then asked, "Are you okay?"

Luo Tian immediately straightened his back, exuding vigor, "I’m good!"

Ye Chen: "Activate your domain."

Luo Tian’s domain was a fragment of a real world, quite useful.

Without a word, Luo Tian opened his domain, enveloping Ye Chen and the four Emperor Realm Evil Spirits.

Ye Chen watched Luo Tian stab his sword into the ground, supporting himself with one hand on his waist, "Feeling weak?"

Luo Tian: "Get on with it!"

Ye Chen casually tossed a mass of Ancient Clan Origin to Luo Tian.

"I thought it was gone?" Luo Tian frowned, curious about the energy essence Ye Chen gave him.

Ye Chen: "It reappeared after leaving the Void Divine Realm."

Upon exiting the Void Divine Realm, his first action was transporting Ancient Clan Origin from the Origin pool on the other side of the primordial heaven into his Origin World.

Since Ye Chen said so.

Luo Tian didn’t hesitate, hungrily absorbing Ye Chen’s energy essence.

The energy of Ancient Clan Origin flowed inside him, transforming into warm currents that revitalized his body, his state recovering rapidly.

Yet Ye Chen, still did nothing.

Luo Tian grew even more curious, asking, "What’s your plan?"

Ye Chen: "Someone’s secretly collecting the origin aura from dead evil spirits. I suppressed these four Emperor Realm Evil Spirits and used your domain to trap them; the hidden guy won’t perceive what’s happening here, and should soon lose patience and reveal himself!"

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s actual plan.

Luo Tian’s eyes flickered, "What if the hidden guy escapes?"

Ye Chen: "Highly unlikely, his strength isn’t weak; I couldn’t pinpoint his exact location, he shouldn’t be that cowardly."

Right after saying this.

Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"He’s out!"

Next moment.

Holy swords planted in the four Emperor Realm Evil Spirits erupted with terrifying sharpness, instantly annihilating them.

"Use your domain to control their origin aura!"

Ye Chen said lightly, instantly charging out of Luo Tian’s special domain with a sword array!

As Ye Chen emerged from Luo Tian’s domain, an overwhelming evil power greeted him.

His sword array was abruptly shattered.

Every sword was sent flying!

Ye Chen, clad in divine armor, bit his tongue tip, simultaneously activating Law Battle Armor and Eternal Golden Body.

Creating an ultimate defense, he steadied himself, slashing forward with a sword.

"Boom!"

The terrifying power burst forth as if a storm intent on destroying everything.

Ye Chen wasn’t injured but was sent flying backwards quite a distant.

Martial Arts Divine Eye fully activated, he stared at the area plagued by storm.

Soon, a pale-skinned evil spirit emerged from the storm, holding a gray bead.

A chillingly sinister aura spread.

"Tsk tsk, Ye Chen, you’re quite lucky, surviving a divine core explosion, even daring to come to Hentian Emperor’s base..."

The evil spirit sneered.

Revealing jaws like serrated teeth.

In his hand, that gray bead emitted pure evil power flowing into him, his aura constantly escalating, already breaching the threshold of Great Emperor!

"Evil Spirit Celestial Bead!"

Ye Chen’s voice carried a somber tone.

Emperor Tian Wan of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect traded with Evil Spirit Heaven-Hating Emperor to obtain an Evil Spirit Celestial Bead, aimed to refine a Great Emperor clone.

While evil spirits couldn’t ascend as Great Emperors independently, only relying on Evil Spirit Celestial Bead could they manage.

Considering these points, Ye Chen conclusively determined that gray bead was the Evil Spirit Celestial Bead.

This very bead’s power absorbed origin aura from dead evil spirits, converting and transferring it to the evil spirit in possession.

Seemingly.

This guy couldn’t resist using the Evil Spirit Celestial Bead meant for Emperor Tian Wan during Hentian Emperor’s absence!

The evil spirit undergoing transformation from the bead, was filled with ecstasy and excitement!

"By killing you, even if I secretly used the Evil Spirit Celestial Bead, no one would punish me... Ye Chen, you’ve come right on time, to thank you for offering your life, I shall convert your body to an evil spirit’s, hahaha!"

The evil spirit laughed.

Ye Chen retrieved eighty-one holy swords, Sword Transformation Array spun and flitted about him.

The evil spirit embracing ascension eyed Ye Chen, "Don’t bother resisting, you will die, oh right, I’ve decided my Great Emperor code name, I’ll be Heaven-Shocking Emperor, how’s that?"

Ye Chen: "Not impressive, furthermore... you won’t ascend."

Killing a true Great Emperor wasn’t feasible yet.

However...

Killing one still in ascension, merely a Half-step Emperor... Is it difficult?
