Chapter 2653: Chapter 2627: Burning (Four More)
Little Gold roared in fury!
If not for the confinement of the giant egg, how could he be in such a sorry state!
He had enough of this dark world!
He had enough of the restraints outside!
He even wished for these Heavenly Dao Palace Elders to destroy the egg with a single sword stroke!
Set him free!
For now, Little Gold could only barely hold off the two elders.
The Blood Demon Elder and another elder, moving unhindered within the Three Great Divine Array, headed straight towards Ye Chen.
At that moment, Ye Chen was at the final critical juncture of transcending the seventh Heavenly Tribulation. A strike imbued with the essence of three flames had canceled out most of the Tribulation lightning’s power, and just when the force of the Tribulation was about to engulf him again, Ye Chen’s mind stirred…
The Five Elements Spirit Pearl burst forth with dazzling brilliance, with four Ancient Artifacts closing in on Elder Fu Mo, and a formation plate filled with the aura of death surrounding the other elder…
Then, the Spirit Pearl shattered, the spiritual sword crumbled, the formation plate exploded!
The Ancient Artifacts couldn’t stop the enemies, so they too were treated as disposable. Their purpose was not to wound but to buy time!
Though lengthy to describe, all of this happened in mere breaths of time.
“Vermilion Bird Hand!”
“Demon Suppressing Imperial Kill!”
“Zhe Na Ghost Shadow!”
“Jade Cauldron Seal!”
The Four Elders cleared the obstacles and, in unison, unleashed a peerless attack towards Ye Chen!
Almost simultaneously, as the remnants of the Heavenly Tribulation lightning engulfed Ye Chen, the full-force attack of the four late-stage Disaster Slaying Realm masters covered him as well!
The four divine powers dimmed the heavens and earth. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation, already terrifying in its might, bound Ye Chen inescapably even as he faced such an assault…
Elder Vermilion Bird, Elder Fu Mo, and the other two gazed at the eye of the storm—Ye Chen’s location—with a languid demeanor, as if they had casually crushed an insignificant insect, entirely indifferent.
“To die beneath the combined strikes of the four of us is not unworthy of this successor to the Samsara Master,” Elder Vermilion Bird said, standing with folded arms and smiling.
The other three nodded in agreement; in their perception, Ye Chen’s aura had already vanished without a trace, dead beyond saving.
“Something’s wrong…”
The smile at the corner of Elder Vermilion Bird’s mouth suddenly faltered, and his expression shifted as he looked heavenward.
The Great Void Destructive Thunder Tribulation had not ended. The power of the eighth Heavenly Tribulation was now brewing…
This meant that the person transcending the tribulation not only had survived but had successfully passed through the seventh Heavenly Tribulation!
Killing intent flashed across Elder Vermilion Bird’s eyes. After the brief shock, he launched a palm strike toward Ye Chen’s direction.
The crimson Sky-covering Giant Hand reappeared, a peerless divine power belonging to Elder Vermilion Bird: Vermilion Bird Hand!
At this moment, the remaining Heavenly Tribulation force entirely dissipated, revealing Ye Chen’s figure.
Faced with Elder Vermilion Bird’s powerful attack, wielded by a peak-level Disaster Slaying powerhouse, Ye Chen neither dodged nor retreated. The Green Lotus Annihilation Sword materialized out of thin air, tightly grasped in his hand, and with one sword strike, six sword lights met the Sky-covering Giant Hand.
As the sword left its sheath, earth-shaking sword beams soared skywards, shaking the heavens!
“Heaven-cleaving Sword!”
“Heaven-burning Sword!”
“Aeon Lightning Sword!”
“Demon Slaying Sword!”
“Nine Heavens God-Slaying Sword!”
“Spirit Demon Annihilation Sky Sword!”
“Disciple, pay close attention. This is the Six Swords! But they have not yet united into one.”
The six sword beams practically struck simultaneously, slashing at several formidable Poisonous Beasts—this was…
The Six Paths Sword!
The ultimate expression of the sword!
Its martial intent already transcended the Divine Kingdom.
It even approached the Upper Realm!
Feng Qingyang’s level of cultivation might not be the highest in the Divine Kingdom!
But his understanding of the sword surpassed the top-tier sword experts in the Divine Kingdom!
This was the Sword God of Six Paths!
And this world-shaking grandeur originated from the peerless sword techniques of the Sword God of Six Paths, the Ultimate Sword, employed at just the right moment!
The Six Paths Sword, annihilating evil and falsehood, represented perfect justice and rigidity, and was a wide-range destructive sword technique capable of taking on six foes at once, unafraid of encirclement.
The sword light pierced the heavens, and as the sword fell, all the poisonous gas composed of toxic light, rain, and powder dispersed utterly, leaving Ye Chen unharmed and standing tall, his figure dazzling beyond compare.
And this… was only the beginning!
A few thunderous explosions reverberated as sword qi swept across the Poisonous Beasts, resulting in several unyielding, anguished howls before their bodies shattered apart, their vitality utterly extinguished.
The final destination of the sword intent was the Heavenly Dao Palace Elders!
The Six Paths Sword versus Vermilion Bird Hand!
The energy-solidified Sky-covering Giant Hand was blocked by six sword beams. Sword qi crisscrossed, and the giant palm instantly fragmented into pieces.
“Impossible!” Elder Vermilion Bird finally showed genuine alarm, exclaiming in disbelief.
Little Gold also noticed Ye Chen, displaying an equally incredulous expression at that moment.
“Master?”
“No, it’s not Master’s aura… What’s going on?”
At this moment, Ye Chen’s entire presence was shrouded by an illusory power, his eyes gleaming with brilliant sword light, yet lacking vitality or the energy of a divine soul.
This was also why the elders had earlier concluded that Ye Chen was dead.
Moreover, the unleashed strike from Ye Chen, with the power of the Six Paths Sword, not only stood equal to Elder Vermilion Bird’s peak Disaster Slaying strength but far exceeded Ye Chen’s own ability.
An inexplicable aura seemed to “awaken” within Ye Chen, replacing his original consciousness.
“This is… Sword God of Six Paths?”
“Feng Qingyang?”
“Impossible!”
Elder Vermilion Bird and the others “recognized” the aura and cried out in shock.
The famous Sword God of Six Paths was a legendary figure of the previous era!
Vanished for countless years, rumored to have long since perished, the mythic character was unexpectedly still alive?
And now, in this bizarre state, “possessing” Ye Chen?
“A thousand years of yearning, I’ve seen the light of day once more, yet never thought it would be in this manner…”
The voice belonging to Sword God of Six Paths Feng Qingyang echoed—a sigh followed by a chilling shift in tone, “You dare strike my disciple, yet have you sought permission from the sword in my hand?”
Elder Vermilion Bird and the others snapped back from their shock.
Elder Fu Mo sneered, “So it’s a mere divine soul causing mischief. Feng Qingyang, had you been at your peak, perhaps we might fear you. But now? Hmph! Cease this charade!”
Elder Vermilion Bird furrowed his brow, an inexplicable sense of unease creeping over him.
“Recklessly overreaching will seal your total demise, Six Paths. I’ll offer you a chance—withdraw now, and we may spare your divine soul. Think carefully, is this… worth it?”
The Four Elders flickered into motion, encircling “Ye Chen” at the center.
As the Four Elders jointly attacked, Ye Chen prepared to gamble everything, but Samsara Graveyard resonated with him, pulling his consciousness into it. In this crucial moment, Sword God of Six Paths “took over” his body.
Furthermore, Sword God of Six Paths employed a secret technique, burning his spiritual sense, to barely withstand the combined attack of the four elders and protect him.
From the Ancient Medical God, Ye Chen learned of Sword God of Six Paths’ decision, finally regaining his awareness.
“Master, you must not!” Ye Chen cried urgently.
He already understood that the current state of Sword God of Six Paths was fleeting and knew his Master’s intentions…
