Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1047: Ye Chen Ascends to Sanctity, Overturns the Order

Xu Yanran and Liu Mubai both realized how serious things were.

In a bit, two groups of people would attack together.

And among them were six Emperor Realm experts, including two old Emperor Realm veterans.

To prepare for the fierce battle to come, the three all sat down to meditate and adjust their breathing.

Ye Chen took out, from three Storage Rings, jade stones one after another that had divine power sealed within them.

Among them, there was one strand of divine power with ten-tenths purity.

Three strands of divine power with nine-tenths purity.

Fifty strands of divine power with eight-tenths purity.

There was even more divine power of seven-tenths purity; Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to count.

Below seven-tenths purity, there was none.

After all, they were three Emperor Realm experts; the divine power they carried on them couldn’t possibly be trash.

Looking at the divine power in front of him, Ye Chen took a deep breath, preparing to refine it all in one go.

”Wait, what are you trying to do!”

Liu Mubai hurriedly rushed over to stop Ye Chen, saying, ”Divine power, divine blood, divine thought—they can’t be abused. If you refine that much divine power in one go, it’s easy for something to go wrong!”

Xu Yanran also flew over, saying, ”Within these powers that belong to gods, there are still imprints that haven’t been erased. If those imprints accumulate too much inside you, you’ll no longer be you.

My mother... precisely because she refined too much divine power, something went wrong.

My father, for that very reason, raised his blade to the heavens, hoping to find a way to resolve it... and that is why the Martial Alliance is in the chaos it’s in today!

Ye Chen, you’re still young. Your talent, your potential, are the greatest in the Celestial Burial Sea. Using divine power occasionally for cultivation is fine, but you absolutely mustn’t overuse it!”

Seeing the two of them so tense, Ye Chen gave a faint smile and said, ”Relax, I know my limits. If I sense anything off, I’ll stop immediately.”

Liu Mubai: ”Just mind your limits and don’t screw around.”

Since he’d said as much, Liu Mubai and Xu Yanran couldn’t keep blocking Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s aura suddenly trembled violently.

The next instant, all the divine-power-sealed jade stones exploded at the same time.

Ye Chen immediately began circulating the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele Breathing Technique; waves of blazing divine radiance burst forth from every single aperture throughout his body.

One aperture, one world.

One world, one deity.

At this moment, Ye Chen was bathing in divine light, countless slumbering divine phantoms seeming to be guarding him as Guardians.

Holy and majestic!

In an instant, all of the divine power was absorbed by Ye Chen.

Off to the side.

Liu Mubai and Xu Yanran were both dumbfounded.

He’d just said he knew his limits.

What he’d promised, he forgot in the blink of an eye and directly absorbed this much divine power in one go!

Liu Mubai was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

Xu Yanran said, ”Mu Bai, Ye Chen’s current state is very mysterious. Maybe he really does have a way to not fear the residual imprints in that divine power. Let’s not disturb him.”

Liu Mubai could only nod.

Things had already reached this point; there was no reversing it, they could only continue to let it unfold.

Having absorbed a massive amount of divine power into his body, Ye Chen felt terrifying currents of aura rampaging within him.

Even with his incredibly tough physique, he still felt a kind of pain like being torn apart by five horses.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and drove the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele Breathing Technique even faster, frantically refining the energy within the divine power.

Although the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique cultivates three paths simultaneously,

right now what Ye Chen was absorbing was divine power, mainly to amplify his Martial Dao.

This was the same as when he absorbed the will-energy of the parasites refined by the Ancient Divine Array: whatever type of energy you absorbed, that would be the direction you improved.

As the divine power was continuously refined, Ye Chen’s Martial Dao cultivation rose at an extremely fast pace.

His Dharma Aspects emerged one after another.

Invincible Sword Qi, Kunpeng, Thunder Qilin, Great Sun, Bright Moon, True Dragon, Phoenix, Stellar Black Hole, Black Tortoise—the nine supreme Dharma Aspects all bloomed with a terrifying might.

Every single Dharma Aspect was strong enough to be called supreme.

The nine supreme Dharma Aspects revolved around Ye Chen, and the aura they released grew stronger and stronger.

As for the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele Dharma Aspect, Ye Chen had already condensed it as well.

However, the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele Dharma Aspect was of great consequence, so under his control, it did not appear.

”Mu Bai... I feel like he’s about to reach Martial Dao Saint Realm...”

Xu Yanran spoke, her tone filled with deep shock.

Breaking into Saint Realm wasn’t much in itself to Xu Yanran, daughter of a Great Emperor; from childhood till now, she’d encountered more Saint Realm experts than she could count.

But this very scene of Ye Chen on the verge of entering Saint Realm was making it impossible for Xu Yanran’s heart to stay calm.

Even before reaching Saint Realm, Ye Chen could already casually and easily slaughter opponents at the first or second level of the Emperor Realm.

Once Ye Chen entered Saint Realm, just how strong would he be?

Xu Yanran couldn’t imagine it.

Ye Chen was a being that couldn’t be gauged by common sense.

Liu Mubai’s mouth twitched as he said, ”Once he reaches Saint Realm... I’m afraid it’ll trigger heavenly sweet rain.”

When one steps into Saint Realm in the Martial Dao, Spirit Dao, or Flesh Dao, so long as their foundation is sufficiently profound, heaven-and-earth visions will descend.

For Martial Dao, it’s heavenly sweet rain; for Flesh Dao, it’s purple qi rising from the east; for Spirit Dao, it’s Dao-rhyme flowing.

Xu Yanran said, ”Ye Chen entering Saint Realm will definitely trigger heaven-and-earth visions. It’s just a question of the extent. I think it’s very possible the sweet rain will gather into form...”

”Let’s wait and see!” Liu Mubai took a deep breath, his face full of anticipation.

At this time, Ye Chen was indeed already attempting to break into Martial Arts Saint Realm.

Martial Arts Saint Realm meant grasping the power of Laws!

But... just which Law to choose for his breakthrough—Ye Chen still hadn’t decided.

After all, even he himself hadn’t expected to be reaching Saint Realm so soon...

”Forget it, in for a penny, in for a pound—more is better!”

Ye Chen grit his teeth. He’d always been decisive; once he thought it through, he acted immediately.

His power continuously surged and boiled as he reached out to commune with the omnipresent Power of Law.

Very quickly.

Specks of firelight gathered around him.

This was the Flame Law!

Next, waves of wind swept through.

This was the Gale Law!

Following the Flame and Gale Laws, thunderlight rampaged around Ye Chen.

This was the Thunder Law!

...

One Law after another circled around Ye Chen.

Liu Mubai and Xu Yanran watched, utterly dumbstruck.

”How many now?” Liu Mubai’s throat was dry, his voice unnatural.

All kinds of Laws he’d seen before and never seen before were manifesting around Ye Chen. Liu Mubai’s vision was going blurry and his scalp was going numb from watching.

Xu Yanran said, ”There’s no way to count—some Laws are extremely similar and hard to distinguish... but I’m certain there are at least a hundred kinds of Laws already. Mu Bai, how is he even doing this?”

For an ordinary person, just communing with a single Power of Law when breaking into Martial Dao Saint Realm is already very difficult.

When Xu Yanran entered Martial Dao Saint Realm, her father, the Celestial Blade Emperor, personally protected her. Even so, it took her several days to commune with Laws, and in total she only managed five.

That was already considered a lot.

That Ten Thousand Islands Sect Daoist Xue Dingchuan, hailed as a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy, only had seven Laws.

Compared to Ye Chen, these so-called top geniuses of the Celestial Burial Sea... couldn’t even get on stage!

At this moment, Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

It seemed... a bit much.

Just now, immersed in the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique, he’d discovered that using the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique to commune with the Power of Law in heaven and earth was extremely easy, so whatever Law he sensed, he communed with that Law.

Without paying attention.

The Laws manifesting around him had already exceeded a hundred kinds...

For a moment, Ye Chen himself felt a headache coming on.

”Miss Qing, Uncle Long, Master Legs, I have something to ask.” Ye Chen immediately sent his voice into the Sword Tomb.

”Speak.” Luo Qingyi’s voice was icy cold.

Ye Chen: ”If, when breaking into Martial Dao Saint Realm, one communes with over a hundred kinds of Laws, what would happen?”

Long Chen’s voice rang out: ”That kind of thing is impossible. Nine is the ultimate number; anyone who can master nine Laws already has the most peerless aptitude under heaven. This is the grand order of the era in the unseen—no one can overturn it.”

Master Legs and Luo Qingyi looked at Long Chen at the same time.

Long Chen frowned. ”Did I say something wrong?”

Master Legs chuckled.

Luo Qingyi couldn’t bear to expose it; after all, Uncle Long was an old senior.

The Little Phoenix flapped its wings and said, ”Grandpa Long, since my big brother is asking, that definitely means he’s already communed with over a hundred Laws. Don’t doubt it—I’ve already said my big brother is a total freak. There’s nothing he can’t pull off.”

Long Chen: ???
