Supreme Sword God

Chapter 638: Chapter 637: A Narrow Escape, Seizing the Demonic Source

Shi Fengchun laughed heartily and suddenly reached for the Demon Emperor’s giant axe with his right hand.

The power of the Death Law transformed into frenzied whipping chains, wrapping around the giant axe.

The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, and from within the giant axe, terrifying Law power burst forth, shattering Shi Fengchun’s Death Law chains.

Their battle attracted the attention of all the powerhouses within the Demon Cave.

Both Shi Fengchun’s displayed power and the Demon Emperor’s assaults symbolized that they were about to step onto the Emperor’s Path; such a level of confrontation had already surpassed the limits of a Great Saint.

Therefore.

Even though there were many Great Saints and Saint Realm powerhouses in this Demon Cave, no one dared to join the battle.

At this moment.

Ye Chen, who had already run quite a distance, felt the aftershock of the battle reaching him and was filled with emotion.

Brother Chun’s strength was finally on full display today.

And the Demon Emperor’s power was truly terrifying!

This further proved that his decision was correct.

If the Demon Emperor didn’t die, and the demonic source wasn’t destroyed, how could they rest easy with Miss Hei continuing to preside over the Moon Capital as the Moon God?

Once the Demon Emperor was dead, the Demon Race army in this Demon Cave would be like a lost ship without its mast, losing its core.

If the demonic source was destroyed, the Demon Race within the Demon Cave would lose their power source and would be even less capable of breaking through the blockade of the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom.

”Brother Chun is perfectly advancing according to the plan. Now, it’s my turn to act!” Ye Chen murmured to himself, raising his head to look at the huge demonic source in the sky, a brilliant gleam in his eyes!

The Demonic Qi surged wildly from his body, rushing toward the demonic source!

Fortunately, having not used his spiritual martial arts union for nearly a year, the Demonic Qi was still plentiful; most of the Demonic Qi from the slayed Celestial Demon remnants in the fourth floor of the Sword Tomb was still preserved!

Strands of Demonic Qi crossed the great distance, clinging to that huge black demonic source in the sky.

At the instant the Demonic Qi finally contacted the demonic source.

”Boom!”

The demonic source violently shook.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Shi Fengchun, felt a tightening in his heart and immediately shouted, ”Besides Liu Qing, there’s another human infiltrating, trying to disrupt the demonic source’s operation. Find him and kill him immediately!”

Instantly, the Demon Race powerhouses who were observing the battle rushed away.

Shi Fengchun’s face changed, and he punched towards the Demon Emperor.

”Boom!”

Thunder surged wildly.

The Demon Emperor was startled; the sudden appearance of the Thunder Law caught him off guard, and he was flung into the air.

Seizing this moment, Shi Fengchun’s figure flickered and attacked a retreating Great Saint.

His arm swung, and the Thunder Law transformed into a beast, covered in lightning, pouncing towards the Demon Race Great Saint.

The Demon Race Great Saint turned around, unsheathed his demon blade, and cleaved the lightning beast in two.

However, Shi Fengchun’s Death Law followed closely, landing on the Demon Race Great Saint.

”Aahhhh!”

The Demon Race Great Saint screamed continuously, his vitality dissipating.

”Liu Qing, I’ll split you in half!” the Demon Emperor roared, charging with his giant axe.

He was furious to the point of exploding.

This Liu Qing was so detestable, fighting him while also taking the opportunity to kill one of his Great Saint subordinates.

This was already the second Great Saint that had fallen!

Liu Qing had killed one as soon as he entered the Demon Cave.

The Great Saints, aside from the Demon Emperor, were the highest level of power in this Demon Cave, and there were only three in total. Now, only one remained!

What a heavy loss.

The enraged Demon Emperor launched a frenzied assault, tightly entangling Shi Fengchun.

Shi Fengchun was indifferent.

Ye Chen had the power of the dragon veins attached to him and was skilled in disguise; facing the Demon Race’s ordinary Saint Realm, he might take some effort to fight, but by using his Demon Race identity as a cover to strike suddenly, he could kill quickly.

Now, among those searching for Ye Chen, only one was a Demon Race Great Saint. As long as Ye Chen wasn’t too unlucky, he would be fine.

If he really was unlucky and immediately spotted by the Demon Race Great Saint...

Then there was nothing Shi Fengchun could do about it.

He had done his best!

This plan was very risky.

Not everything could be controlled; it was about taking a gamble!

Ye Chen also heard the Demon Emperor’s furious shout earlier.

”I need to hurry; there are many Demon Race powerhouses searching for me. If found, I’ll be beaten to death...” Ye Chen muttered and then said to himself, ”I still need to enter the demonic source for the best effect.”

Previously, when the demonic source was destroyed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they first infiltrated Demon City and used the channel connecting Demon City and the demonic source to enter. But now, there wasn’t that much time for detailed planning.

Luckily, there’s the Martial Arts Celestial Eye now!

The demonic source had already been stirred by the Demonic Qi, causing violent power fluctuations. Ye Chen planned to utilize the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to observe the demonic source and build a new channel to enter it.

With the combination of Demonic Qi and the Martial Arts Celestial Eye, Ye Chen began to control a small portion of the demonic source’s energy!

”Still not enough!”

Ye Chen muttered.

The energy of the demonic source operated under an intricate set of rules, and with only this tiny bit of control, it was impossible to build a new channel.

”Soldier Character Secret!”

A flash of inspiration sparked in Ye Chen’s mind.

Previously, he didn’t know the nature of the magic source, but before coming in, Brother Chun had mentioned that the magic source here was at least at the level of a Half-Step Saint Weapon.

In other words, the magic source is actually a special type of magical weapon!

The Soldier Character Secret must be effective.

Ye Chen began to operate the power of the Soldier Character Secret, combined with Celestial Demonic Qi, heading towards the magic source.

At this moment.

A sharp sound of something tearing through the air arose abruptly.

A powerful demonic pressure descended near Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged as if he were a curious baby, watching the vibrating magic source.

At this time, the members of the Demon Race in the magic cave were either watching the battle from a distance or staring at the malfunctioning magic source.

A Saint Realm powerhouse from the Demon Race glanced at Ye Chen, found his aura a bit odd, then flew over and said, ”Which division are you from? Why are you here alone?”

Ye Chen: ”...”

How would I know!

Fortunately, the Demon Saint didn’t continue the inquiry but said, ”Today the magic cave is in turmoil, I’ll take you to find shelter.”

The Demonic Qi on Ye Chen seemed a bit off, but was quite pure in essence. Coupled with the fact that his Demonic Sword and Demonic Shield were of high grade, items only the high-bloodline Demon Race members could access.

Therefore, this Demon Saint offered a small courtesy.

”Thank you for your concern, Demon Saint. It would be better if you continue to find the troublemaker. I’ll find a safe place myself,” Ye Chen replied in the Demonic language.

”Hmm.”

The Demon Saint nodded and was about to leave.

Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

But just then.

Not far away, another Demon Saint was passing by, possessing obviously strong powers, and immediately saw through Ye Chen’s disguise, shouting, ”Manto, that’s a Human Race, kill him!”

The Demon Saint named Manto was a bit puzzled and didn’t react in time.

”Swoosh!”

A streak of cold light appeared at the back of its head, cleaving down.

Unleashing the power of the Dragon Veins, Ye Chen slashed the weaker Demon Saint with one sword stroke, and then frustratingly looked at the other Demon Saint approaching from afar.

He was about to muddle through, but then someone had to come and stir up trouble!

However, the Demon Saint who exposed Ye Chen’s identity as a member of the Human Race merely regarded him as a common Human Race Saint Realm martial artist and didn’t see him as the culprit behind the magic source’s problem, thus didn’t notify other Demon Saints, planning to take down Ye Chen by itself!

After all, Ye Chen’s methods of interfering with the magic source left no visible traces.

With a single thought, Ye Chen unleashed the Seven-Star Sword Array and the Nine Intentions Celestial Splitting Sword Array, carrying the power of the Dragon Veins, whistling outwards.

In the hand of the Demon Saint, a demonic saber was unsheathed, slicing out a massive blade light condensed by the Law of Winds, to resist Ye Chen’s two sword arrays’ power.

The Sword Qi erupted from the Nine Intentions and the sword lights resembling a starry river perfectly complemented each other. Having fought numerous times with the two sword arrays, skill improved through practice, making them function as one entity.

”Elder Qingyi, I’m sorry but I have to use the power of the Great Dao’s origin once more!” Ye Chen murmured in his heart, charging into the sword array with his sword raised.

A blue luster flowed from the hilt of the Celestial Mark Sword, covering its blade!

That Demon Saint, mastering the law power of the wind, had an exceptionally intricate saber technique, changing endlessly amidst its grandiose attacks.

”Clang clang clang...”

Crisp clangs resounded successively.

The middle-grade Dao Swords forming the sword array were struck flying one by one.

As the two sword arrays were broken, the Demon Saint took a step forward and appeared in front of Ye Chen.

”With such little skill you dare to infiltrate our Demon Race’s cave, die!”

On his demonic saber, the Law of Winds surged violently, striking at Ye Chen with one slash.

Ye Chen, already ready, also burst out with a powerful sword strike!

The power of the Dragon Veins entwined around the Celestial Mark Sword, transforming into a vivid Divine Dragon shape, a trace of power from the Great Dao’s origin hidden within.

Additionally, the power of the Soldier Character Secret quietly operated. Even though Ye Chen’s understanding of it wasn’t deep enough, and its influence on such a high-level powerhouse was limited, a little help was better than none!

Blade and sword clashed!

”Boom!”

The blade light formed by the Law of Winds from the Demon Saint fiercely exploded!

The Divine Dragon Sword Qi broke free from Ye Chen’s Celestial Mark Sword, racing straight for the Demon Saint’s head, shattering its skull!

Sixteen middle-grade Dao Swords swiftly flew back, reforming the two sword arrays, in one fell swoop eradicating the Demon Saint’s body and soul!

Then, Ye Chen immediately continued the task at hand, operating the power of the Soldier Character Secret, even extracting the illusory mark of the Soldier Character Secret remaining in the Origin World, sending it towards the hovering magic source!

Although the Demon Saint earlier didn’t alert other Saint Realm members of the Demon Race for reinforcements.

The commotion caused by Ye Chen killing two Demon Saints here would surely be noticed by other Demon Saints.

Time... was becoming increasingly urgent!

Moments passed by.

As expected, a large number of Demon Race Saint Realm powerhouses charged in.

Especially... there was even a Great Saint-level Demon Saint!

A terrifying aura sealed Ye Chen from all sides.

And almost simultaneously, under the infusion of Celestial Demonic Qi, Ye Chen’s Soldier Secret Mark finally integrated into the magic source.

At this moment, a mysterious sensation surfaced in Ye Chen’s mind. Following his intuition to control it, with a booming sound, a giant beam of light suddenly shot down from the magic source!
