Supreme Sword God

Chapter 941: Chapter 940: Understanding the Situation and Joining the Battle

Ye Chen’s aura gradually calmed down.

He opened his eyes.

”Lao Chi, I suddenly have an idea.” Ye Chen looked at Emperor Mutian’s Divine Finger with shining eyes.

When Ye Chen first called him Lao Chi, Emperor Mutian was initially reluctant, but after hearing it many times, he slowly accepted it, snorted coldly, and said, ”What’s your mischievous plan now?”

Ye Chen: ”Lao Chi, if you say that about me, then I feel really hurt. My heart is pure and sincere, yet you call it mischievous. Is the bond we’ve shared through life and death so shallow?”

Emperor Mutian: ”... Talk!”

Ye Chen: ”The major forces of the Inner Sea all extract divine power, divine thought, and divine blood from divine corpses. These things are extremely important for cultivators.

But... resources are scarce, and people are many. Even geniuses find it hard to gather enough resources, especially someone with my dull talent.

Lao Chi, you’ve seen it too. For a little cultivation resource, I can only collect Evil Spirit essence.

How can you bear to see me so pitiful?”

Emperor Mutian: ”Stop pretending to be pitiful here. Your Spirit Storage Bead is full, a haul that many old Great Saints in the Celestial Burial Sea would envy!”

Ye Chen: ”This time it was good luck, meeting a righteous person like you, Lao Chi. I doubt there will be a second time, so I’ve thought of a better way!”

”What way?”

”To refine divine blood, divine thought, and divine power myself!”

”Ha...” Emperor Mutian sneered disdainfully, saying, ”You lack strength, yet have such lofty ideas. First of all, you don’t even have a divine corpse. What will you use for refining?”

”I do!” Ye Chen’s eyes burned fiercely, staring at the Divine Finger in front of him.

Isn’t this readily available?

Fresh and hot!

Emperor Mutian was momentarily stunned, then flew into a rage: ”You brat, you want to die!”

Ye Chen: ”Lao Chi, don’t misunderstand. I just want to occasionally take a little from your finger... I won’t kill you. When I fight, I often spit blood, and I’ve grown accustomed to it.”

Seeing the power emanating from the Divine Finger becoming more violent, Ye Chen shivered and smiled, ”Just kidding, don’t mind it. By the way, during my breakthrough earlier, I sensed several terrifying auras erupt. Do you know what’s going on, Lao Chi?”

Earlier, the Third-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal fused with the Haoyang Celestial Fire, advancing to the Fourth Turn, and his Martial Dao cultivation broke through to the Heaven-Reaching Realm Eighth Layer, nurturing the eighth Pocket World True Intent in the process.

During this, Ye Chen indeed noticed a terrifying aura sweeping through the restricted zone. Bringing it up now was both a topic diversion and out of genuine curiosity.

”That was Xu Tiandao’s Blade Dao.”

”Who?” Ye Chen hadn’t heard the name before.

”The Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance, known as the Celestial Blade Emperor, Xu Tiandao!”

Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart.

A super big shot from the Inner Sea had come to the restricted zone!

”Besides Xu Tiandao, there are a few familiar old fellows, the Alliance Leaders of both the Body Alliance and the Spirit Alliance are here, along with a Celestial Wind Emperor from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect.”

Ye Chen: ”Is this going to lead to an all-out war?”

With so many Great Emperors gathering, it would be odd if they weren’t up to something big!

”It won’t break out. The human race is not united. The Three Alliances barely manage to cooperate, but the Ten Thousand Islands Sect is completely unreliable, especially the Celestial Wind Emperor who came, that vile woman with the darkest heart!”

Emperor Mutian casually commented, adding, ”The Evil Spirit Emperor in the restricted zone doesn’t dare to fight either; they’re also afraid that if humans are pushed to the brink, they’ll charge in madly.

So, the eventual result of the Great Emperors’ standoff is to establish some rules, and then fight under those constraints.

If I’m not mistaken, the Enlightenment Tea Tree has likely appeared.”

Ye Chen: ”Lao Chi, of all these Great Emperors, isn’t there a single one you trust?”

”There is. I trust both the Celestial Blade Emperor of the Martial Alliance and the Celestial Cauldron Emperor of the Body Alliance. There’s no way they could ever have any issues.”

Ye Chen: ”Alright, then let’s withdraw for now!”

”Aren’t you planning to get involved? This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself among countless powerful figures!”

Ye Chen shook his head, saying, ”Forget it, one must stay low-key, not to mention, I have dull talent.”

Emperor Mutian: ”...”

Stay low-key... yet this brat was always going on about how Hu Fei should do this or that... how is that being low-key?

As for dull talent, Emperor Mutian didn’t believe it for a second.

No matter how things change in a hundred years, in the Celestial Burial Sea, a talent like Ye Chen’s is absolutely unique!

......

Half a day passed.

Ye Chen arrived in a region where battles were raging fiercely.

Everywhere, humans and evil spirits clashed!

Ye Chen, maintaining his low profile, chose not to act before understanding the situation.

A moment later.

Ye Chen spotted a burly, rough-looking man, undoubtedly from the Body Alliance. This rough man was obviously a ninth-tier physical body, and was now being attacked by two Dharma Evil Spirits, in a precarious situation.

Time to lend a hand!

The people he met before seemed optimistic in their predicaments. But seeing this Body Alliance brute die at the hands of the evil spirits was something he couldn’t bear.

Decision made, Ye Chen stepped forward, golden light flashing under his feet, instantly rushing into the battle area.

”Swish!”

The holy sword was unsheathed, sweeping across with a fierce sword light.

The two Dharma Realm Evil Spirits were engulfed and devoured by the sword light, dead beyond dead.

”You’re lucky you acted now.”

The Divine Finger hidden in Ye Chen’s sleeve transmitted a thought to him: ”If you chose to ignore the fight between the humans and evil spirits, I would no longer trust you either.”

Ye Chen grinned, not bothering to reply, taking out a new Spirit Storage Bead to capture the scattered Evil Spirit essence.

Having slain Liu Yang’s group before, he still had plenty of empty Spirit Storage Beads!

”Thank you, brother, for your assistance!” The burly man saved by Ye Chen cupped his hands in thanks.

Ye Chen waved his hand, saying, ”It was nothing. Brother, what exactly is going on now? I just came out of the lighthouse inside and I’m unclear on many things.”

The burly man said, ”The five Great Emperors of the evil spirits and our four Great Emperors of the humans have reached a standoff, and then established some rules.

We, humans, will not call for reinforcements from outside into the restricted zone, and the evil spirits will also not summon their forces from their base camp.

Besides that, no one in the Emperor Realm will join the fight.”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered; Emperor Mutian had guessed correctly.

No wonder people say that having an elder is like having a treasure.

Lao Chi was a top veteran powerhouse in the Celestial Burial Sea and had a keen insight into its matters. I must nurture and keep him safe.

”It can’t go on like this forever, right?” Ye Chen asked.

The burly man nodded, saying, ”It will continue until one side withdraws or until the Enlightenment Tea Tree disappears!”

Ye Chen: ”Where is the Enlightenment Tea Tree?”

”The Enlightenment Tea Tree has appeared twice already. The Ten Thousand Islands Sect snagged a piece of Enlightenment Tea, and the evil spirits also grabbed a piece. Each time an Enlightenment Tea Leaf is picked, it immediately relocates to another spot.”

Ye Chen: ”Mate, what’s the current battle damage?”

The mention of this made the burly man furious: ”Our Body Alliance suffered the most, greatly wronged by the Ten Thousand Islands Sect. That guy Xue Dingchuan from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect is outrageously arrogant, allegedly ordered by the Celestial Child Emperor to settle accounts with someone from our Body Alliance named Ye Chen!

Xue Dingchuan went to our Body Alliance’s base asking for him, but Ye Chen had already been lost in the Black Tide.

Not finding Ye Chen, he continually targeted our Body Alliance. Lu Li Guardian, being the closest to Ye Chen, has been relentlessly pursued by Xue Dingchuan for this reason!”

”Mate, what does Xue Dingchuan look like? Tell me so I can familiarize myself with his face for future dealings.”

The burly man controlled his strength, forming an image in the air.

After seeing it, Ye Chen grinned and said, ”Thanks for the clarification, take care, I’m off to join the fight too!”

Xue Dingchuan from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, I’ll take you down sooner or later!
