Chapter 360: Perfection Realm Sword Intent
BAM!
As if struck by a heavy blow, Lord Shakyamuni's figure was sent flying backward through the air.
The golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Countless illusory Buddhas disintegrated into specks of light that filled the sky, and his aura fell into disarray.
"..."
The entire room was stunned into silence.
Master Jingde was dumbfounded.
Xu Qianfeng's brow furrowed, a chill creeping into his heart.
The mocking expression on Mu Liuji's face froze solid, as if he had just witnessed the impossible. He was utterly flabbergasted.
What had they just seen?
With a mere flick of a sleeve, the head of the current generation's Twelve Saint Monks, a formidable existence who had stepped into the Divine Might Realm, had been defeated in a single blow!
They knew Ye Chen's strength couldn't be measured by his apparent realm.
But this… wasn't this a little too ridiculous?
That was a Great Power of the Divine Might Realm, a Cultivator who stood among the very Peak in the entire eastern region of the dynasty!
Yet before Ye Chen, he seemed so fragile!
Ye Chen's expression remained calm and composed. He couldn't help but smile. "Well? Did you all get a good look?"
Before the fight began, he had already moved the realm spirit into the Imprisoned Dragon Grotto Heaven.
Furthermore, the entire room was now sealed off by the Eternal Night Sky. It was as if he were in a separate dimension, allowing him to go all out without any reservations and slaughter every enemy before him!
He had to admit, he had barely finished his breakthrough, and these major enemies had already joined forces to deliver themselves to their deaths. Even Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. 'This really saves me a lot of trouble!'
Hearing Ye Chen's mocking words, Mu Liuji and the others turned pale, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.
Just then, Lord Shakyamuni seemed to finally recover from the earlier blow.
He struggled to his feet, his gaze fixed on Ye Chen, filled with profound shock. "You… you broke through?"
As he said this, everyone else finally realized that Ye Chen was no longer the youth at the Primordial Mansion Realm.
He had broken through to Divinity Transformation!
With such a realm, he could definitely be considered a top-tier expert throughout the entire eastern region of the dynasty!
"That's right."
Ye Chen smiled faintly. "I was actually looking forward to settling scores with you all. I didn't expect you to come knocking on my door yourselves. What a pleasant surprise."
"Hmph!"
Master Jingde snorted coldly. "Do you really think a little improvement in your strength is enough to escape this deadly predicament today?"
"Indeed."
"No matter how powerful your combat prowess is, you are still just one person."
"Trying to fight one against four? You're thinking too highly of yourself."
Xu Qianfeng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. Noticing that everyone's morale seemed low, he said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Mu Liuji and Lord Shakyamuni remained silent.
Only they knew that when Ye Chen was at the Peak of Primordial Mansion Realm, his combat strength was already powerful enough to rival the Divine Might Realm!
Now that he had broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, just how powerful had he become? They didn't dare to imagine!
"What's wrong?"
"Why are you all just standing there in a daze? Weren't you going to make a move?"
Ye Chen glanced around at them and shook his head in disappointment. "Did a single casual blow scare you all so badly? That's far too boring."
"Then let's do it!"
The first to respond to Ye Chen was Xu Qianfeng, the Supreme Elder of the Xu family!
As a powerful Sword Cultivator who had stepped into the Divine Might Realm, he was not one to act rashly, but when he did, he unleashed a terrifying power that was sharp and unmatched!
A sky full of Spiritual Power seemed to transform into countless sharp blades, raining down upon Ye Chen.
Without even looking, Ye Chen flicked his sleeve again.
Innumerable streams of Sword Qi surged forth, completely neutralizing Xu Qianfeng's attack.
"Your attainments in the Sword Dao… are actually so extraordinary?"
Xu Qianfeng had been immersed in the Sword Dao for many years. He could tell at a glance that Ye Chen was a powerful Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent, and the level of his Sword Intent was quite high.
"That's right. How about a little contest?"
Ye Chen smiled. A monstrous Sword Intent emanated from him, and everything around him seemed to become as sharp as a treasured sword.
"I see no reason why not!"
Seeing that his opponent wanted to compete in Sword Dao cultivation, Xu Qianfeng naturally wouldn't refuse. His gaze sharpened as he stepped forward, displaying his own profound foundation in the Sword Dao!
"Draw your sword!"
Xu Qianfeng unsheathed his sword, his aura locking firmly onto Ye Chen. No matter how his opponent tried to dodge, his sword light would fall upon him in an instant.
"You go first. Let me see if you're even worthy of making me draw my sword."
Ye Chen simply offered a slight smile, but within that seemingly gentle expression was an astonishing arrogance.
"How ridiculous!"
Xu Qianfeng was so furious he laughed.
As the Supreme Elder of the Xu family, a family of Sword Cultivators, being looked down upon by a junior like this was unbearable. He could no longer hold back and lunged forward, sword in hand, thrusting at Ye Chen!
The sharp sword light seemed capable of tearing apart the surrounding Eternal Night Sky. The terrifying force of the impact caused the space to tremble violently!
"Not bad."
A hint of appreciation flickered in Ye Chen's eyes. He acknowledged Xu Qianfeng's foundation in the Sword Dao.
But it was still far from enough to make him draw his sword!
One must understand that with his breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, his Sword Intent had also undergone an ultimate transformation, advancing from the Great Success Realm to the Perfection Realm!
Ye Chen took a single step forward. He didn't use the Cangming Sword, yet a sky full of Sword Qi erupted from his entire body!
It was as if all things in the world could become the sharpest of treasured swords in his hands, capable of slaying any foe!
With a wave of his sleeve, a massive beam of sword light that seemed to tear through space clashed head-on with Xu Qianfeng's attack.
BOOM!
Amidst the deafening roar, Xu Qianfeng's figure was blasted backward. His feet carved long tracks into the ground as he struggled to stabilize himself.
His face was grim, his eyes filled with shock as he stared at Ye Chen. "Perfection Realm Sword Intent?"
"You've actually comprehended it to this level?"
He, of all people, had only comprehended Sword Intent to the Great Success Realm!
And he was already considered one of the absolute top Great Sword Cultivators in the entire eastern region of the dynasty!
"That's why I said you're still lacking if you want me to draw my sword."
Ye Chen glanced at Xu Qianfeng coolly, his blunt words sending a tremor through Xu Qianfeng's mind!
"Enough. This isn't the time for a martial arts sparring match. This is a battle to the death!"
Master Jingde watched the scene unfold and said in a frigid tone, "Stop holding back! Attack him together!"
"We must eliminate this boy today!"
Ye Chen's peerless talent terrified him!
'If he's given more time, I fear the entire Saintly Temple will be trampled under this boy's feet!'
However, he would not allow that day to come.
As Master Jingde's voice fell, Lord Shakyamuni immediately made his move!
Being sent flying by Ye Chen's single blow had been a complete loss of face for him.
Vast Buddha light surged forth. He bathed in the tide of golden radiance, his presence as imposing as a god's, utterly astonishing.
