Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1039: Annihilation, Reminiscing with Tong Dabao

Seeing everyone’s faces full of shock and confusion, Ye Chen was already used to it.

Low‑key as he was, he always ended up overturning everyone’s imagination.

”Master of Wine, let’s do it.”

Ye Chen said.

Battling Monk nodded, spirits surging, and roared, ”Everyone listen up, follow Young Master and wipe out Celestial Child Divine Island!”

As his shout fell.

Battling Monk was the first to put on a specially shaped mask.

The others followed suit one after another.

These masks were made based on an idea Ye Chen gave, modeled after the Asura Army masks. With the countless talents on the Seventy‑Two Islands, they quickly produced a huge batch.

After all, the Seventy‑Two Islands had all kinds of shady arts and crooked paths.

The current Asura masks had extremely strong probing‑blocking abilities.

Moreover, Ye Chen had specially imbued every single mask with a portion of energy refined from divine stones. Anyone who used these masks was at least Saint Realm at worst.

You could say—

As long as they didn’t run into a Great Emperor, there was basically no way anyone could see through them.

With that, this job of smashing Tong Dabao’s lair could be considered properly secure.

After all.

Tong Dabao’s strength was still very strong. Even though the Seventy‑Two Islands could block a Great Emperor’s assault, they’d have to pay a price; if they could keep it under wraps, that’d be best.

A short while later.

Ye Chen led a large force to the outside of Celestial Child Divine Island’s protective formation.

He himself didn’t wear a mask.

No need.

This time... he’d be a bit high‑profile!

He was already a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser now, someone on equal footing with Great Emperors—no need to keep hiding all the time!

A loud shout rang out as an old codger of Celestial Child Divine Island rushed out.

This old codger was Emperor Realm, his aura chaotic, looking somewhat bedraggled. Clearly he’d taken a loss in the internal strife.

The old man fixed his gaze on Ye Chen at the front and barked coldly, ”Celestial Child Divine Island is not convenient to receive guests today. Please leave, sir.”

Ye Chen said mildly, ”It’s fine. Since Celestial Child Divine Island won’t receive us, we’ll just go in ourselves.”

The old man’s face sank. ”Brat, don’t toast if you don’t drink the fine wine. Celestial Child Divine Island does not welcome you. Leave at once, or bear the consequences yourself!”

Ye Chen let out a cold laugh. ”Others might fear your Celestial Child Divine Island. I don’t. Even if Tong Dabao himself stood in front of me today, he still wouldn’t be able to stop me!”

The old man roared, ”Impudent! You dare speak the Great Emperor’s name directly? You must be tired of living. If you’ve got the guts, report your name!”

Ye Chen: ”Listen up. Whether walking or sitting I never change my name—Ye Chen!”

The old man: ”...You, you’re Ye Chen... You’ve really got some balls, daring to come to our Celestial Child Divine Island on your own initiative...”

”Not only did I come to Celestial Child Divine Island, today I’m going to annihilate Celestial Child Divine Island!” Ye Chen barked coldly. His figure shot out, the Celestial Master Chen Seal blasted forth, and with a thunderous boom, the Emperor Realm old man’s body was sent flying.

Right after, the power of the Sword Array erupted, cleaving open a massive rift in the Emperor Realm Domain the old man raised. The Fourth-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal followed that rift, charging into the domain and exploding.

”Aaahhh!”

The Emperor Realm old man let out a heart‑rending, soul‑splitting scream.

Ye Chen stepped on golden light, a Kunpeng phantom manifesting behind him. His speed was Unrivaled; in the blink of an eye he was next to the old man. One horizontal slash, and the Emperor Realm old man’s head was cut off, his divine soul shattered.

This scene.

Shocked everyone on the Seventy‑Two Islands.

It likewise shocked those on Celestial Child Divine Island who were watching through the Divine Stone Array.

Ye Chen...

Since when had he become this powerful?

Even if that Emperor Realm old man had just gone through a brutal battle, Emperor Realm was Emperor Realm... yet he’d been casually chopped down by Ye Chen...

With his sword cleaving an Emperor, Ye Chen’s aura surged upward. He looked down at Celestial Child Divine Island below and shouted, ”Asura Army, kill! When today is over, the Celestial Burial Sea will have no more Celestial Child Divine Island!”

”Kill!”

The people of the Seventy‑Two Islands all exploded with fierce power and charged toward Celestial Child Divine Island.

”Don’t panic. The Divine Stone Array and Sword Mountain Purgatory are enough to block them. As long as we stall until the Great Emperor returns, they’ll all die.”

A loud shout echoed from within Celestial Child Divine Island, steadying people’s hearts.

”Tong Dabao is just trash. Everything about his Celestial Child Divine Island is worthless in a real fight!”

Ye Chen laughed loudly and swung his sword.

”Swoosh!”

The light curtain of Celestial Child Divine Island’s Divine Stone Array was torn open by Ye Chen’s sword like a piece of cloth.

And that so‑called Sword Mountain Purgatory didn’t react at all.

The people of Celestial Child Divine Island instantly fell into boundless despair.

Fierce battle erupted in an instant.

The situation went one‑sided straight away.

Celestial Child Divine Island’s internal strife was severe, morale shattered; they couldn’t organize a counterattack, couldn’t even mount an effective defense. They were directly beaten dumb.

This battle.

Lasted a full day and night.

Everything on Celestial Child Divine Island was destroyed.

The island that had flourished for thousands of years fell apart, its fragments sinking into the sea.

The forces Tong Dabao had painstakingly nurtured were slaughtered to the last man.

The surrounding seas had been dyed crimson with blood, thick blood‑mist drifting in the air. Because of the fall of so many Emperor Realm and Saint Realm experts, the area was flooded with violent power; just that surging chaotic force alone was enough that anyone below Saint Realm wouldn’t dare step in.

”Young Master, what do we do next?”

Standing behind Ye Chen, Battling Monk asked, unable to hide his excitement in his tone.

The others were the same.

Smashing the lair of a living Great Emperor—this kind of thing was something they’d never even dared imagine before. It was the sort of event that would send terrifying shockwaves through the entire Celestial Burial Sea!

Ye Chen smiled faintly. ”You all head back first. The harvest this time is huge. Everyone needs to seize the time to boost your strength. After some time, we might be going to slaughter our way into the Ten Thousand Islands Sect.”

Everyone: ”...”

The Ten Thousand Islands Sect...

That was the overlord of the Celestial Burial Sea.

Two Great Emperors and one Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser sitting in town.

Compared to Celestial Child Divine Island, it was countless times stronger.

Especially the Ten Thousand Islands Sect’s Emperor Tian Wan—terrifying beyond measure, incomparably mysterious.

But...

Destroying Celestial Child Divine Island was also something they’d never thought possible before, yet hadn’t they just done it?

Charging up to the Ten Thousand Islands Sect—maybe... it really could be done!

”Young Master, what about you?” Battling Monk asked.

Ye Chen’s gaze turned to the distance. ”Me? Naturally, I’m going to have a little meet‑up with Tong Dabao and reminisce.”

Soon, Ye Chen parted ways with Battling Monk and the others.

A group of great bandits clustered around Battling Monk.

Battling Monk: ”Before, you asked me what Young Master was like. Now, do you get it?”

”Hahaha, I like Young Master’s temperament—he throws down the gauntlet the moment there’s a disagreement, his guts are off the charts.”

”Say what you will, Young Master handed out the nine Emperor’s Long Sabers to us without a second thought. With that magnanimity and vision, you won’t find a second person like him in the entire Celestial Burial Sea.”

”Tong Dabao’s treasures piled up over thousands of years—Young Master just left them all to us. I’m already worshipping Young Master to the point of prostrating on all five limbs.”

Battling Monk nodded. ”Young Master’s growth has overturned my imagination. Just over twenty, not even at Saint Realm, yet he has Unrivaled battle power capable of slaying Emperor Realm, and he’s even a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser.

This time annihilating Celestial Child Divine Island, we did most of the killing, but without Young Master we couldn’t even have broken through Celestial Child Divine Island’s Divine Stone Array.

Saying all this, what I want to tell you is—

All of you bastards better go back and cultivate your asses off. Otherwise in another year or half, we’ll all just turn into Young Master’s dead weight!

This time, no matter the cost, we have to forcibly stack a Great Emperor out of our group. Without Great Emperor‑level power, we’re destined to be burdens!”

...

On the other side.

Ye Chen headed toward the Martial Alliance alone.

Wiping out Celestial Child Divine Island was definitely something to celebrate.

But Ye Chen still remembered what Celestial Cauldron Emperor had said.

If Tong Dabao doesn’t die, Celestial Child Divine Island will forever exist.

So, the long road ahead was still long and he had to keep pushing!
