Chapter 2570: Chapter 2544: Monstrous (Sixth Update)
For a moment, the countless flickering cold lights and drifting light dust all came to a halt!
The very next moment, silent shattering sounds echoed through the starry sky, everything, following the slash of light from Ye Chen, turned into nihility! Even the darkness was completely shattered!
Ye Chen panted, his eyes dancing with delight!
He did it!
He really did it!
He had grasped that trace of True Martial Intent! Although it was not yet clear, it was also something that the martial arts realm of the Po Jun Pavilion could not contain!
Others used martial arts to condense a sliver of Martial Arts Origin’s Divine Intent to resist, but Ye Chen shattered the entire intent of Po Jun Pavilion with a single move!
…
Yu Zhenzi sighed and said: “Go and collect…”
He originally wanted to say go collect the body, but all of a sudden, he was stunned, his pupils trembling…
Not just him, all those present had their pupils trembling!
As the Starlight of the Po Jun Pavilion faded away, the Starlight of the Second Level Martial Arts Pavilion actually lit up!
Did Ye Chen make a breakthrough?
This… was beyond imagination! All signs pointed to Ye Chen’s failure, right?
But indeed, he really made a breakthrough!
Yu Zhenzi and all the elders exchanged glances, their faces showing ecstatic joy, dispelling the aura of decline!
Ye Chen truly did not disappoint them!
He became the first person in the history of Divine Extreme Sect to defy the prediction of the Ancestor Spirit!
Not just them but also the myriad of disciples gathered outside the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion started cheering as well!
At this moment, Ye Chen had already reached the Second Level.
The Second Level was an even darker darkness!
There was nothing, not even seeing one’s own fingers when stretching out the hand!
Ye Chen slightly frowned, but he was not as panicked as when he first entered the first level.
The darkness of the Second Level, although it felt like it was gradually devouring one’s heart and soul, he could sense that as long as his Mental Realm was clear and untainted, without getting lost in it, he even had a chance to exit the Refining God Pavilion.
But how should he break through this Second Level?
He asked the Ancient Medical God: “Elder Cang, how do I break through this Second Level?”
The Ancient Medical God said: “Martial Arts Pavilion, also known as Kaiyang, the so-called ‘With Kaiyang as the measure, Shaking Light as the stars,’ within this saying also contains the ultimate truth of martial arts. Now that you hold the stars, how will you measure them?
The rest is for you to comprehend on your own. Saying too much might actually hinder you.”
Ye Chen nodded and pondered in the darkness.
He was actually somewhat surprised by the actions of the Ancient Medical God.
To explain martial arts, the Kuang Wu Dominator was clearly more suitable.
But while the Kuang Wu Dominator had helped Ye Chen several times, each time was only when confronting enemies, and it was absolutely impossible for him to act under current circumstances.
Why would the Ancient Medical God, a divine doctor of the Divine Kingdom, understand these things?
Could it be that Elder Cang has some unknown past?
Ye Chen didn’t think too much about it anymore; Elder Cang’s words had awakened him.
His star, naturally, was that sliver of Martial Arts True Intent he had comprehended. Although it was not a tangible thing, Ye Chen knew that this Martial Arts True Intent had already caused a qualitative change in him!
It illuminated his martial path, the direction of his advancement, his martial arts, his actions; all were subtly influenced by this Martial Arts True Intent, becoming purer!
Then, what was his measure?
In the darkness, time passed, and ordinary martial artists might gradually fall into this darkness, endlessly sinking, eventually dying when their divine soul exhausted.
But Ye Chen, as he contemplated, his eyes became brighter and brighter!
…
At this moment, outside the Seven Star Refining God Pavilion.
Three days and three nights had already passed!
Ye Chen still hadn’t made a breakthrough to the Second Level.
Yu Zhenzi asked, “In the history of our sect, how long did it take for the disciple who took the longest to break through the first level?”
The second elder replied, “Nine hours, and that disciple was a Ten Thousand Tribulations Body.”
Only a Ten Thousand Tribulations Body could endure for so long without resisting with intents.
But it was incredibly perilous, fortunately, in the end, he grasped a sliver of enlightenment and succeeded in the breakthrough.
Yu Zhenzi nodded: “That is to say, Ye Chen spent almost ten times the maximum time of the first level, then what about the second level?”
The second elder’s gaze flickered as he said: “The second level fundamentally differs from the first level in nature. The disciple who took the longest spent a full three months to break through! Even the one who took the shortest amount of time spent a day!”
Yu Zhenzi gave a wry smile, if Ye Chen were to take nearly ten times the maximum time for the first level for the second level as well, then that would be nine hundred days…
The longer one stays in the second level, the more dangerous it becomes. The disciple who spent three months there, although he made a breakthrough, withdrew directly from the third level without taking on further challenges. When he came out, others discovered that his divine soul was nearly exhausted, and it took him a hundred years to recover.
If Ye Chen were to stay for nine hundred days…
Even they would probably die in there.
…
In the darkness, Ye Chen’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
What is the law? The law is the true heart, it is the principle, it is that bit of true spirit, and so is his martial arts!
The so-called Kaiyang as the law, is to mold one’s enlightenment of True Martial Intent into one’s own unique emblem!
Merging one’s true spirit and true heart into it!
From then on, his martial arts would bear his own hues, belonging solely to his intents!
In the next instant, Ye Chen stood up, raised his Sword Finger, and the white light condensed by the Martial Arts True Intent once again flickered at his fingertip. His wrist moving continuously, he inscribed four large characters in the nihility of the dark.
In the midst of darkness, there emerged a glimmer of light; those four characters rose like a proud sun within the darkness!
The four characters “Only I Ascend the Skies” represented Ye Chen’s Martial Intent!
What is “only I”? “Only I” is to adhere to oneself, reflecting his understanding of all things, as if in the world, there is only oneself, unmoved by others.
What is “ascend the skies”? Even if the sky stands in his way, even if this day veils his eyes, preventing him from being “only I” and losing his true heart, he would still rise above it and break through the heavens!
In an instant, darkness dissipated, and Ye Chen arrived at the third level.
…
Just as Yu Zhenzi and others were worrying about Ye Chen, the starlight from the second level suddenly flashed, appearing on the third level!
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded!
Did Ye Chen make another breakthrough?
So quickly, he broke through?
Normally, the speed of breaking through the Refining God Pavilion slows down because each level is harder than the last, but is Ye Chen defying the norm?
Yu Zhenzi swallowed and turned to Tu Lanxin, “Lan Xin, the record for the third level was set by you, right? How long did it take you?”
Tu Lanxin replied, “Eighteen hours.”
Could it be that Ye Chen will give them a surprise in the third level? Surpassing eighteen hours?
…
On the third level, Sun Yi, Fen Ying, Cang Ye, Bai Zhentang, Zining, and others appeared before Ye Chen…
They were being tormented at that moment, while he himself was helplessly trampled underfoot by Wu Ming, completely unable to resist!
All of it was so real! It was not something one could distinguish just by the strength of the divine soul or by having a Mental Demon Body!
This had a fundamental difference from the magical world created by Wen Tianli back in the day!
But at this moment, Ye Chen’s expression remained serene.
