Supreme Sword God

Chapter 622: Chapter 621: Six Heaven-Penetrating Caves, Vulnerable to a Single Blow!

Ye Chen glanced at the barrier Ming Hao was holding up, then swiftly dashed out and struck with his sword.

”Boom!”

A powerful backlash erupted, sending Ye Chen flying backward.

”Such a tough shell!” Ye Chen muttered.

The Martial Arts Celestial Eye could see the flow of power within the barrier, yet this barrier was flawless, without any weaknesses!

Yang Tianji stepped forward, appearing beside Ye Chen, and frowned, saying, ”This barrier can last for half an hour.”

”Can he open a Grotto Heaven in half an hour?” Ye Chen found it unlikely; opening a Grotto Heaven is no simple task.

Yang Tianji said, ”He’s been preparing for a long time; I just didn’t expect him to have such strong defensive measures...”

Ye Chen nonchalantly replied, ”It’s fine, let him break through, and I’ll still cut him down. Teacher, you haven’t checked my cultivation progress in a long time; take this chance to have a good look. I won’t disappoint you!”

Yang Tianji’s expression was complex, then he said, ”You’ve never disappointed me.”

Since bringing Ye Chen into the Spiritual Martial branch of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, although Ye Chen caused quite a bit of trouble, in terms of cultivation, he indeed never made Yang Tianji worry.

Drawing spiritual patterns and merging spirit and martial arts were not much taught; he simply gave Ye Chen a cultivation technique for spiritual power, and Ye Chen figured out the rest on his own.

”Rest for a moment and recover your strength,” Yang Tianji said.

Ye Chen shook his head and grinned, saying, ”We only fought for a bit; it’s not a bother at all!”

The surrounding crowd: ”...”

Indeed, it hadn’t been long.

But Ye Chen had been controlling two sword arrays, repeatedly launching big moves—is it possible there’s no exhaustion?

This point, only Ye Chen himself knew clearly.

Ever since refining 183 strands of Power of Rules into the Origin World, resulting in a wealth of resources from ancient tribes, using them now can be done freely without scrimping—use if needed, replenish afterward!

At this moment.

The people around were silent, all focusing on Ming Hao, who was intending to open a Grotto Heaven.

A Grotto Heaven’s shadow formed beside Ming Hao, very fast, and before long, it became fully formed!

Next, a second Grotto Heaven’s shadow also emerged with a rough outline; this time, it was slower than the first, but still completed smoothly.

Ming Hao gathered his strength and, with one full effort, the third Grotto Heaven’s shadow appeared.

His aura was steadily rising!

He’s a genius; opening three Grotto Heavens wasn’t surprising at all.

However, when his third Grotto Heaven stabilized and the fourth shadow emerged, surprised murmurs broke out around!

”It seems Ming Hao’s preparations are exceptionally thorough, opening the fourth Grotto Heaven’s outline in such a short time. If not for this battle, with a bit more preparation, he might have opened six Grotto Heavens!”

”Too bad, he’s breaking through hastily now; four Grotto Heavens is already the limit.”

”It’s a trade-off; if he doesn’t breakthrough now, his fate will be like Pan An and Ming Yu, losing his life, making anything else meaningless. Breaking through now, even with just four Grotto Heavens, his perfect Spirit and Martial Unity will see a surge in power, with a chance to kill Ye Chen!”

”If he swiftly finishes the fight and retreats immediately to close door cultivation, with the Ming Family’s methods, he likely has a chance to advance further. Of course, six Grotto Heavens is impossible; however, five Grotto Heavens might be achievable.”

”Ye Chen’s strength is truly unbelievable. He hails from the resource-scarce Great Zhou Dynasty, and according to some previous rumors, his growth essentially occurred over a year and a half.”

”If he were a disciple of the Moon Palace, nurtured with their resources, his achievements now would surely be at a much higher level!”

”Before Ye Chen, everyone in the Moon Palace practicing Spirit and Martial Unity faded into insignificance. He truly exemplifies the power of Spirit and Martial Unity!”

Discussion resumed.

Ming Jing and Pan Yuanjiang’s expressions were grim.

Today, even if they kill Ye Chen, their dignity is utterly lost.

The Moon Palace’s Spirit and Martial Unity became a laughingstock.

At this moment, Ye Chen kept watching Ming Hao opening the Grotto Heaven.

After all, Ming Hao’s shell couldn’t be broken, so he might as well observe the process of opening a Grotto Heaven for future reference.

Additionally, he thoroughly scrutinized Ming Hao’s Grotto Heaven!

Full of flaws!

Of course, it’s not Ming Hao’s problem.

Anyone who just opens a Grotto Heaven is the same; it requires continuous refinement in subsequent cultivation.

”What did you see?” Yang Tianji noticed Ye Chen’s serious observation, thus asked, intending to use the chance to explain important points about opening a Grotto Heaven, fulfilling his responsibility as a mentor.

Otherwise... Ye Chen calling him teacher almost made him feel undeserving.

He truly hadn’t taught Ye Chen properly!

Moreover, given Ye Chen’s rapid improvements, it wouldn’t be long before he reaches the Pocket World Realm.

”His Grotto Heaven is flawed everywhere; even if he opens four, or six, even nine Grotto Heavens, I can still chop him down!” Ye Chen replied indifferently.

Yang Tianji: ”...”

Initially planning to share Pocket World Realm knowledge with Ye Chen, suddenly unsure how to proceed.

Meanwhile, Ming Hao, shielded by the barrier, was about to stabilize his fourth Grotto Heaven. He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Chen outside, bellowing, ”Ye Chen, soon I will trample you underfoot, making you pay dearly for your words today!”

Ye Chen sneered, saying, ”Then hurry up; my sword is already craving for a kill, eager to cut you down!”

Ming Hao, faltered after being provoked by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen continued, ”Your mindset is lacking, too poor; even street beggars remain calm when I speak, yet you’re worse than them.”

”I’m worse than a beggar?!” Ming Hao shouted angrily, his aura further unsteady.

Ye Chen seriously nodded, said, ”Exactly!”

”Shut up!” The Moon Palace High Priest, the Ming Family patriarch Ming Jing shouted, raised his hand, a wave of power fell upon the protective barrier, blocking transmission of sound.

His oath was not to intervene in the fight, but now as the battle paused, naturally it wasn’t a problem.

Ming Jing coldly instructed, ”Ming Hao, quickly stabilize the fourth Grotto Heaven, and I’ll bless you with two more, granting you the foundation of Six Caves to Heaven!”

While speaking.

Two Grotto Heavens suddenly flew out from Ming Jing’s hand, penetrating the barrier protecting Ming Hao, floating beside him.

Ming Hao was elated, fully committed to stabilizing the fourth Grotto Heaven.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The Ming Family surprisingly had such resource reserves...

Ye Chen wasn’t too surprised.

Artificial Grotto Heavens, it’s something Brother Chun mentioned before.

Artificial Grotto Heavens are quite fragile.

The Celestial Demon Sect’s Liu Fan, Three Caves to Heaven, the two Grotto Heavens that Liu Fan had and were smashed by Ye Chen were artificial ones.

At that time, Ye Chen had just regained Spirit and Martial Unity, Unity Realm First Layer, Tier Seven Junior Grade Ultimate Celestial Spirit Seal, perfected sword form.

Now, Ye Chen’s overall strength had increased significantly.

Moreover, Liu Fan’s two artificial Grotto Heavens were nurtured, elevated to the Third Realm.

Therefore, even if Ming Hao reaches Six Caves to Heaven, Ye Chen remains unconcerned.

The four freshly formed Grotto Heavens, full of flaws, and two un-nurtured artificial Grotto Heavens, easily shattered!

Looking at Ming Hao’s smug look, Ye Chen coldly smirked.

Feeling pleased?

Once you cheerfully emerge from your shell, I’ll cut you down immediately!
