Chapter 2232 One Sword
Chapter 2232: One Sword Chapter 2232: One Sword Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Puchi! Several disciples spat out blood, their faces pale and filled with regret. They wished they had not chosen to watch the unfolding battle. Ye Chen stood suspended in the air, his arms, abdomen, and thighs marred by wounds. His complexion was slightly pale as he retrieved some pills from the Samsara Graveyard and consumed them. The Heaven and Earth Elders were no better off. They stood on the ground, enduring their pain with great effort. Had they not joined forces, one of them would have perished. Now, both wore serious expressions, fully aware that they could no longer underestimate Ye Chen. With the display of strength Ye Chen had shown, he had proven himself capable of fighting them. The disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace were in shock. Among them were Star Aperture realm experts, often hailed as geniuses by the Spirit Immortal Palace. Despite this, when compared to Ye Chen, there was simply no contest. The Heaven and Earth Elders exchanged glances, realizing they could not prolong the battle any further. If they continued, the variables would multiply, and no one could predict what other surprises Ye Chen might unleash. “Use the Hall of Souls’ forbidden technique!” “Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix!” The Heaven and Earth Elders roared in unison as they formed an incantation gesture. Suddenly, a massive evil dragon, measuring 3,000 meters, materialized behind Elder Heaven. Simultaneously, a Dark Phoenix manifested behind Elder Earth, spreading its wings wide across the void. The dragon and phoenix emitted piercing cries. Ye Chen’s expression shifted slightly in response. The very fabric of space shook, threatening to shatter. Witnessing this spectacle, the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace could not help but feel a sense of admiration. The Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix was the signature technique of the Heaven and Earth Elders. Using this technique meant they were risking everything! Ye Chen stood alone, the only one capable of forcing two Sealed Gate realm experts to confront an early-stage Star Aperture realm with their full strength. The Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix loomed over Ye Chen, their roars echoing intensely. Ye Chen’s eyes grew solemn. The sheer power of the Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix made his legs tremble. The strength was immensely formidable! It seemed apparent that the Hall of Souls had truly resolved to kill him. He pondered whether the Hall of Souls was motivated by the enmity between him and them in the past, or perhaps it was due to his knowledge of the secret involving the Hall of Souls and Lin Juelong? It seemed that this was a secret that could astonish the entire Lingwu Continent. Blood continued to seep from his wounds. Despite this, Ye Chen refused to concede defeat. His gaze remained determined. “Master, should I harness the power of the Red Dust Divine Bloodline and the High Wind Divine Bloodline?” he inquired slowly. “I sense that the situation is more complex than it appears,” Feng Qingyang replied, shaking his head. “Do not reveal your hidden strengths too soon.” “The Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix are indeed powerful, but you, Ye Chen, are the disciple of the Six Paths Sword God, Feng Qingyang!” “I cannot allow you to fall!” “Six Paths Sword Case, unseal!” Feng Qingyang suddenly formed a hand seal and directed it at the Six Paths Sword Case. … In the outside world. At this moment, Ye Chen gripped the Rotten Beast Sword tightly in his hand. Suddenly, sword essence erupted from his entire being. At that instant, he embodied the master of the Sword Dao. “I am the Six Paths Sword God!” Ye Chen proclaimed, standing resolutely in the air as he shouted toward the sky. Weng! Weng! Numerous disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace wielded swords, and their weapons began to tremble uncontrollably, suddenly disobeying Ye Chen’s commands, rushing to position themselves behind him. The Rotten Beast Sword in Ye Chen’s grasp surged with an overwhelming sword essence. Kacha! A crack split space, and the sword essence expanded in a ten-thousand-mile radius. Everything within that expanse was enveloped by Ye Chen’s sword essence. “In the Sword Dao, the Six Paths are revered!” Ye Chen murmured to himself, tightening his grip on the Rotten Beast Sword as the sword energy ascended into the sky. He had stepped into a realm inhabited by swords, and Ye Chen stood as the unequivocal overlord of the Sword Dao. This was the hidden power of the Six Paths Sword Case, When sword essence reached a certain threshold, even a Sealed Gate realm expert could be slain with a single strike by a Star Aperture realm expert. At that moment, Ye Chen was not merely the Six Paths Sword God. He had also become the embodiment of Immortal Sword Essence. The two forces merged, reaching an extraordinary pinnacle. Whoosh! He swung his hand down, as if cleaving through the world itself. This sword represented the last remnant in existence! The sword beam slashed through the sky, infused with a murderous spirit as it surged forward with ferocity. The evil dragon charged, but in less than three breaths, it was obliterated. The Dark Phoenix exhaled a torrent of Dark Fire, yet it proved ineffectual. This sword was unstoppable! The sword was destined to draw blood! The expressions of the Heaven and Earth Elders shifted dramatically, their mouths agape in shock. This sword was overwhelmingly terrifying. A palpable sense of impending doom filled their hearts. They could not withstand it! The Heaven and Earth Elders exchanged alarmed glances and hastily retrieved a blood-soaked scarecrow. Though the scarecrow exuded no discernible aura, it caused Ye Chen to frown. Boom! The sword qi surged forth, impacting the bodies of the Heaven and Earth Elders. In an instant, the figures of the Heaven and Earth Elders vanished from sight. The cultivators of the Spirit Immortal Palace were left in stunned silence. Could it be that the Heaven and Earth Elders had perished? How could this be possible? Puchi! In a distant void, the figures of the Heaven and Earth Elders reappeared. In that moment, their auras were chaotic, and their faces bore expressions of lingering terror. Fortuitously, they had acquired the scarecrow of death from a forbidden area long ago, allowing them to survive. Otherwise, Ye Chen’s sword would have claimed their lives. “You little brat! I shall most certainly eliminate you today!” Earth Elder roared, his left hand severed by Ye Chen, leaving him on the brink of death, igniting his fury. Ye Chen responded with a smile, remaining silent. Despite his pale visage and lingering injuries, he felt confident he could eliminate the gravely wounded Heaven and Earth Elders. If these two Sealed Gate realm experts wished to meet their end, Ye Chen would have no qualms about facilitating their demise. Just as the Heaven and Earth Elders prepared to attack, a chilling voice rang out. “Retreat!” The Heaven and Earth Elders did not dare to contest the command, and the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace felt a surge of excitement upon hearing the voice. The palace master of the Spirit Immortal Imperial Palace had arrived! Ye Chen’s lips curled into a wicked smile. Ling Yun and Xia Lingqiu had finally made their appearance. He had awaited this moment for an entire year, and it was time for them to resolve their conflicts. “The Hall of Souls is merely mediocre.” “You two engaged in battle against a mere Star Aperture realm kid and ended up in such serious condition!” “It appears that I have overestimated the Hall of Souls.” Although her voice reached them before her figure did, it was unmistakably Xia Lingqiu’s voice. The Heaven and Earth Elders, though seething with anger, lowered their heads in humiliation. They could not deny that they had been outmatched by Ye Chen in their previous confrontation despite employing the Evil Dragon and Dark Phoenix. Now, burdened with their injuries, they stood no chance against the formidable Ye Chen, and defeat was inevitable. Who would have imagined that the once humble young man, who had merely stepped into the Lingwu Continent a year prior, would ascend to such heights in that short span of time? It was astounding! “Palace Master Xia, we shall take our leave!” The Heaven and Earth Elders spoke with respect. They cast glances of fury at Ye Chen before retreating. In their minds, Ye Chen was already a dead man walking.
