Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The experts from Cyan Rainbow Hall earnestly tried to persuade her.

”Staying here any longer will only bring trouble upon ourselves.”

”We should leave as soon as possible.”

But Song Yubing’s expression was stubborn, and she refused to leave.

She gritted her teeth. ”Ye Chen probably won’t hurt me... I’ve never done anything to harm him!”

’She was filled with regret now.’

’There was a time she, too, thought Ye Chen was just an arrogant braggart.’

’This led her to look down on him. She had originally wanted to recruit Ye Chen, but she quickly abandoned the idea.’

’However, she never expected Ye Chen to be even stronger than she had imagined!’

This filled Song Yubing with a deep sense of resentment.

’Leaving might be the best choice, indeed.’

’But she just couldn’t accept it!’

「Just then.」

A violent tremor suddenly resounded through the vast, deep space!

Saint Mother Jinglian and the Undying Demon Lord had made their move!

A cyan lotus, glowing with a faint green light, suddenly vanished into the void. The next moment, it appeared directly above Ye Chen’s head, falling like a splendid streak of light.

The lotus swelled in the wind. By the time it was about to touch Ye Chen, it had grown to the size of a meteorite. Its heavy cyan light pressed down as if to shatter the void, a terrifying sight!

And as Saint Mother Jinglian made her move, the Undying Demon Lord launched his own attack with tacit understanding!

He strode forward in his Heavy Armor. A black light spread across his body, and a Heavy Sword suddenly appeared in his hand!

The Heavy Sword was entirely black, wreathed in astonishing Evil Qi. A glance revealed what seemed to be countless remnant souls circling the blade, ferocious and frightening.

”This one strike will take your life!”

The Undying Demon Lord raised the Heavy Sword high above his head. A vast phantom of a Spiritual Sea roiled behind him as he shamelessly unleashed the aura of the Ninth Layer Peak of the Primordial Mansion Realm!

SWOOSH!

In an instant, the sword light slashed down, seeming to tear the heavens and earth apart, and struck menacingly before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s expression was completely unfazed, showing neither joy nor sorrow. With a backhanded slap, the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Swallowing Array erupted with astonishing suction, colliding thunderously with the cyan stream of light overhead!

The next moment, he too gripped the Cangming Sword and rushed forward, colliding heavily with the Undying Demon Lord!

BOOM!

A terrifying aftershock swept out in all directions. Even the surrounding void cracked, countless tiny fissures appearing within it!

”The space within the Dragon Prison Cave isn’t stable enough!”

”A battle of this level already has the power to make this space collapse!”

Many experts watching this scene couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Countless streams of Sword Qi rained down. The Undying Demon Lord, wielding his Heavy Sword, clashed heavily with Ye Chen’s Cangming Sword. His expression changed slightly, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

”Sword Intent... and it doesn’t seem to be ordinary Sword Intent!”

”Your talent in the Sword Dao is truly astounding!”

Even someone as arrogant as him couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement at this moment.

Yes, the appearance of Sword Intent represented an extremely high level of comprehension in Swordsmanship.

The mind moves as it wills; the sword follows the mind.

A single thought could produce a thousand streams of Sword Qi!

But similarly, Sword Intent was also divided into different ranks!

Sword Intent could be divided into five major levels: Initiate, Lesser Mastery, Greater Mastery, Perfection, and Peak!

Because Ye Chen had been continuously absorbing fragments of insight from the ocean of Sword Dao in his mind, his comprehension of Sword Intent had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now, he was showing faint signs of breaking through to the Lesser Mastery stage!

’Lesser Mastery in Sword Intent, and at his age... ’

’Even in the entire Great Hong Dynasty, you probably couldn’t find another prodigy like this, could you?’

It was no wonder that even the Undying Demon Lord couldn’t help but marvel at it.

However, what he expected even less was...

At this moment, a crack had actually appeared on the Heavy Sword in his hand.

”This... How is this possible?!”

This sudden change made the Undying Demon Lord’s expression change drastically.

He sucked in a cold breath, almost unable to believe his eyes!

Ye Chen’s expression was indifferent; all of this was actually within his expectations.

The true grade of the Cangming Sword was unknown.

But as Ye Chen’s comprehension of the Sword Dao deepened, the power that the Cangming Sword could display also continued to grow!

As Ye Chen’s Sword Intent was about to break through to the Lesser Mastery realm...

...the Cangming Sword in his hand was about to display the might of a Top-grade Spiritual Soldier!

Therefore, the high-grade Spiritual Soldier in the Undying Demon Lord’s hand was no match for the Cangming Sword’s might.

After just a single exchange, a crack appeared, and it was still expanding!

”Damn it!”

The Undying Demon Lord felt a pang of heartache. This Heavy Sword had been with him for a long time, and this was the first time it had sustained such serious damage.

’What level is the Spiritual Soldier in this guy’s hands?’

He stared fixedly at the Cangming Sword in Ye Chen’s hand.

However, the Cangming Sword’s aura was mysterious and unfathomable; he had no way of judging its true grade!

Seeing the Undying Demon Lord pull back to retreat, Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, and he quickly followed, preparing to press his advantage.

”Get away from me!”

Countless streams of Sword Qi surged forward. Unwilling to block them head-on with his sword again, the Undying Demon Lord pulled his Heavy Sword back. His eyes flashed with a black light, and a dense wave of Evil Qi instantly formed a barrier in front of him.

However, the sharp Sword Qi tore through the barrier with almost no resistance, then slammed heavily into the Undying Demon Lord’s body!

BOOM!

As the Sword Qi swirled, the Undying Demon Lord staggered back several steps as if he’d been dealt a heavy blow!

If he hadn’t desperately activated his Half-Step Divinity Transformation realm and used his Spiritual Power to dissolve most of the Sword Qi before him...

...he feared that even the black, shimmering Heavy Armor on his body would have been severely damaged!

”You deserve to die!”

The Undying Demon Lord was genuinely enraged now. His pupils flashed with black light as an astonishing aura erupted from his body. He raised his Heavy Sword high and abruptly chopped down!

”Undying Secret Art—Primordial Unity Slash!”

A terrifying black Sword Qi tore through the void. It seemed to transform into a phoenix, crossing through layers of space to strike at Ye Chen!

Ye Chen remained composed. The Cangming Sword conjured endless sword phantoms before him. His astonishing Sword Intent seemed to transform everything in the surroundings into Sword Qi to use against his enemy, blocking the black light before him!

’This guy’s comprehension of Sword Intent is profound, and the Spiritual Soldier in his hands has reached at least the Top Grade!’

’With the two complementing each other, unless someone at Divinity Transformation arrived in person, even I would struggle to pose a threat to him!’

The Undying Demon Lord’s eyes flickered, a trace of fear passing through his heart.

Ye Chen’s strength was unexpectedly great. Even he couldn’t help but entertain thoughts of retreat at this moment.
