Chapter 2235 Ling Yun (Part 3)
Chapter 2235: Ling Yun (Part 3) Chapter 2235: Ling Yun (Part 3) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feng Qingyang was slightly shocked, but then his eyes quickly showed a look of satisfaction. There was even a hint of joy! If Ye Chen continued to depend on the three sword moves he had taught him, then Ye Chen’s Sword Dao would never grow. However, at this moment, Ye Chen had modified the Eternal Lightning Sword using demonic energy and created a sword technique that was perfectly suited for himself. Good! Good! Good! At this moment, Feng Qingyang finally felt a glimmer of hope. If he had only viewed Ye Chen as capable before this, now Feng Qingyang was certain that Ye Chen was the only hope in the eternal chess game. “It is the Myriad Demons Worship heavenly phenomenon!” Xia Lingqiu’s eyes shook with disbelief. “I have read about it in ancient texts!” “Someone has used it before!” “That was the Demon Emperor, who had control over the demons and the Nine Remoteness Kingdom!” “Could it be that this young man is tied to the fallen Demon Emperor? Did he accidentally acquire the inheritance of the Demon Emperor?” Boom! Boom! The sound of explosions echoed endlessly. A mountain peak collapsed with a thunderous crash, shaking the entire ground. Ye Chen was forced to retreat. The Rotten Beast Sword resonated, as demonic energy and sword essence flowed out from his body. “This is the reason I came here!” Whoosh! The power of heaven and earth surged into Ye Chen’s body. He could barely execute a single sword strike. Sword essence surged within him as Ye Chen specifically harnessed the power of heaven and earth to continually enhance his strength. The sword beam surged forth as streaks of sword energy gathered around Ye Chen. With a single wave of his sword, space shattered, and a scar appeared on the ground, stretching for ten thousand miles. Boom! Ye Chen drove the Rotten Beast Sword into the ground and knelt on one knee. He did not have much strength remaining. The spiritual energy in his body was nearly depleted. That sword strike was the most powerful strike he could unleash, and it had drained almost all of his strength. His body could barely withstand the strain. He retrieved a handful of pills from the Samsara Graveyard and swallowed them. His gaze remained fixed ahead. Boom! With a loud explosion, Ling Yun shot into the sky. However, her condition was far from good. Her hair was disheveled, and her expression was fierce, resembling an old demon. Traces of sword marks marred her body, and blood flowed from her wounds. At that moment, Ling Yun felt as if her lungs were about to explode. She had sustained injuries from an ant! Although these injuries did not significantly affect her, it was a complete humiliation. Ye Chen smiled bitterly. A late-stage Sealed Gate realm expert was truly overwhelmingly powerful. It had surpassed Ye Chen’s limits. More importantly, Xia Lingqiu stood behind Ling Yun. From the very beginning, this battle was a trap, and it was rigged against him. Ye Chen had confidence that the Myriad Demon Lightning Sword could inflict severe damage even to Ling Yun, and that it was even possible that she could die if she were not careful. However, against Ling Yun now, it only resulted in minor injuries. Ling Yun possessed quite a number of magical treasures thanks to Xia Lingqiu “Ye Chen, if you truly cannot continue, then run away. As long as there is life, there is hope.” At this moment, the Demon Emperor attempted to dissuade Ye Chen. The two of them had become one, so if anything were to happen to Ye Chen, the Demon Emperor would not survive either. Now, anyone could see that the divide between Ye Chen and Ling Yun was vast. Ye Chen shook his head. He felt it necessary to resolve this matter. So what if he were to die? He aimed to prove his invincible Dao heart. Once he made a decision, he would not relent. If he fled now, how could he ever reach the peak of martial arts in the future? In this life, he wanted to dominate his era! No matter how difficult this path might be, Ye Chen would continue to pursue it. The Demon Emperor sighed. He realized it was pointless to keep persuading him. In an instant, Ling Yun appeared beside Ye Chen and grabbed his collar with one hand. A swift sword manifested in Ling Yun’s grip, gleaming with a cold glint. “Ye Chen, you are merely an ant from a low-level world. You dare to oppose me?” “Do you comprehend how many resources I possess?” “I wear a True God artifact-grade spiritual armor!” “I also carry the jade token that the Palace Master bestowed upon me!” “What do you possess to challenge me?” “Though your talent is remarkable, your starting point was too low.” “This is the fundamental difference between us!” “The Lingwu Continent is a realm where the strong are revered. Human lives are treated as insignificant and can be extinguished as long as one possesses strength.” “This is a world of the powerful, a heartless world. You do not understand this at all!” “Now, you lack any spiritual energy in your dantian. What do you possess to contend with me?” Ling Yun plunged her sword into Ye Chen’s abdomen. Puchi! The sword pierced Ye Chen’s abdomen, and blood flowed forth like a river. Ye Chen grunted and gritted his teeth, but did not utter a sound. Although the wound was not lethal, it caused excruciating pain. Boom! Ling Yun released Ye Chen’s collar and struck him. The torment had only just begun! Though it was a victory gained through unfair means, in the end, she emerged victorious. Ling Yun’s heart was already twisted. A voice within her urged her that she had failed. This was because Ye Chen had battled her while he was gravely injured. However, she refused to acknowledge her inner voice. She only wanted to perceive the reality before her. Ye Chen’s figure crumpled to the ground. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his flesh, yet he felt no pain. He was unwilling to accept defeat in such a manner. Over the past year, he had been training relentlessly for this moment. However, the gap between him and Ling Yun was simply too great. A look of contempt flashed across Ling Yun’s eyes. Ye Chen’s talent was indeed commendable, but he hailed from a low-level world. He lacked the backing of any top powers. Ye Chen stood up with great difficulty. His face was pale, and he clutched the Rotten Beast Sword in his hand. His arms trembled slightly. Thump! Thump! Ye Chen moved forward slowly. When he reached Ling Yun’s side, he raised the Rotten Beast Sword above his head. However, in that instant, a surge of violent spiritual power washed over him, forcing him back to his original position. His body was riddled with wounds. High above in the sky, Xia Ruoxue’s eyes brimmed with tears. She could not help but plead with Xia Lingqiu, but Xia Lingqiu remained unyielding. Even Ji Siqing was moved. Could it be that Ye Chen had truly lost? In the depths of darkness, two figures stood proudly. If Ye Chen were present, he would have recognized one of them as Lan Xueyue, while the other was Bai Zhentang. Both were Ye Chen’s masters. Lan Xueyue had accompanied Ye Chen for a long time. He felt a slight tug at his heart, but refrained from taking action. Bai Zhentang shared the same sentiment. He held his disciple in high regard, and could not intervene at that moment. “Are you not going to act?” Lan Xueyue inquired. Bai Zhentang shook his head. “You are not intervening either, are you? With your strength, which nears the Great Void realm, you could have altered the outcome of this battle, yet you chose not to interfere.” “This indicates that you share my thoughts.” “This is the trial that this young man must undoubtedly face!” “The world has always been unjust.” “If one wishes to defend their honor, they must rely solely on themselves.” “If you and I were to intervene, we would only hinder Ye Chen.” Lan Xueyue smiled. “In truth, I differ from you. I have faith in Ye Chen.” “I know that he does not require my intervention.”
