Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007: Slashing the Celestial Master, Sikong Zhaixing’s Choice

A large array of sacred swords whistled out, their blazing sword light engulfing the form of Celestial Master Mingkong.

"Boom!"

Trapped within the Sword Array, Celestial Master Mingkong pointed repeatedly, unleashing terrible beams of light that blasted the holy swords away one by one, forcibly carving out an escape path.

Ye Chen’s heart shuddered.

The Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser was indeed formidable.

"Ye Chen, with your meager strength, you dare to challenge me? It’s nothing but a delusional dream. Prepare to die!"

Celestial Master Mingkong shouted, his voice both stern and fierce, and with another pointed gesture, a cluster of light at his fingertip rapidly compressed before erupting violently.

Ye Chen had no choice but to activate his Eternal Golden Body once more.

"Puff!"

Even with the unparalleled defense of the Eternal Golden Body, Ye Chen’s abdomen was pierced with a hole.

It signified that Mingkong’s previous attack had genuinely reached the power level of a Great Emperor!

Ye Chen withdrew rapidly.

Celestial Master Mingkong pursued relentlessly.

"You can’t escape, next year on this day, will be your death anniversary!" Celestial Master Mingkong laughed, launching a slap forward.

"Boom!"

Another explosion of Great Emperor level power.

Ye Chen defended with all his might but still couldn’t withstand it, his body shot backward like a cannonball, creating an alarming crater on the ground.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Chen flew out of the pit.

His aura was chaotic, his chest collapsed, and blood continued to spurt from the hole in his abdomen.

"This is not your power." Ye Chen’s expression was grave.

Mingkong laughed, "You know nothing about the Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser!"

Ye Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, using his ancient source energy to nourish his wounds, "As expected, a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser can extract sealed power from divine stones."

Lin Qu had mentioned this in passing before.

But it was vague, merely his speculation.

Because Celestial-tier Divine Appraisers are extremely rare.

Moreover, every Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser holds transcendent status, rarely do people witness them in action.

Celestial Master Mingkong sneered, "What good does knowing do you? You are destined not to escape this calamity!"

Ye Chen grasped his Celestial Mark Sword tightly, and with a thought, forty-nine sacred swords flew back to his side.

The sacred sword’s edge blossomed, its light dazzling, the Sword Array’s might growing ever stronger!

The Eternal Golden Body can still hold on for a while.

Since ordinary attacks won’t work against Mingkong, a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, special means must be used.

Ye Chen shouted loudly.

The forty-nine sacred swords shot forward first.

The sword light was like the Milky Way, its fierce edge emanating terrifying killing intent.

A look of disdain flashed in Celestial Master Mingkong’s eyes as he punched through, creating a breach in Ye Chen’s Sword Array, and his form flew through it, arriving once more in front of Ye Chen.

This time.

As Mingkong’s fist was about to strike Ye Chen, Ye Chen didn’t dodge, and instead swung his sword.

Mingkong’s eyes showed even more disdain!

With a thought, a flowing light surged from his chest, covering his entire body, as if donning a suit of light armor.

"Boom!"

Celestial Master Mingkong’s fist struck fiercely on Ye Chen’s shoulder.

Ye Chen’s left shoulder exploded into a bloody mist.

This was with the support of the Eternal Golden Body; otherwise, his entire flesh and soul would have been shattered!

Enduring a grave injury.

Ye Chen’s sword finally slashed down, landing on Mingkong’s head.

However.

This injury-for-injury sword could not tear through the flowing light covering Mingkong’s body.

"Ignorant!"

Celestial Master Mingkong laughed, his other hand also clenched into a fist, striking towards Ye Chen’s head.

Ye Chen’s expression was resolute.

Under his activation, the power of time corrosion instantly flowed into the Celestial Mark Sword.

The power of time corroded the layer of flowing light on Mingkong’s body.

"Swish!"

The sharp sword met no resistance, cutting down along Mingkong’s head.

"Ah!"

Celestial Master Mingkong let out a miserable scream; even though he reacted quickly and retreated, half of his head was still cleaved off by Ye Chen.

At this moment.

Everyone present was once again dumbfounded, their hearts filled with boundless shock.

The means of a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser are not limited to appraising divine stones, Celestial Master Mingkong, even though not a Great Emperor, could still unleash Great Emperor power.

Yet...

Celestial Master Mingkong was cleaved by Ye Chen, losing half of his head!

Unbelievable!

Inconceivable!

If not witnessed firsthand, none would believe this scene possible!

With his left shoulder shattered, his chest collapsed, and a hole in his abdomen, Ye Chen’s momentum remained high and his fighting spirit soared.

"Even if you can unleash Great Emperor power, you are not a Great Emperor, you’re not even at the Emperor Realm!" Ye Chen said coldly.

If he were at the Emperor Realm.

That sword strike wouldn’t have succeeded!

Celestial Master Mingkong borrowed power, extracting the sealed strength from divine stones.

This meant that no matter how strong his control over that power, he required some reaction time.

And before he could react, this so-called Celestial Master Mingkong... was just a Great Saint... nothing more!

Ye Chen always knew the effect of his methods; they’re effective against a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser who can unleash Great Emperor power, but against a newly ascended Emperor Realm being, they stand little chance.

"Ah ah ah!"

Mingkong’s miserable screams continued.

The wound on his half-cleaved head was eroded by a terrible force, and he exerted all his might, using various healing treasures, but none had any effect. The remaining half of his face quickly wrinkled, spotted, turned old...

"Ye Chen, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood to quell the hatred in my heart!" Celestial Master Mingkong roared with rage.

How long has it been?

Since becoming a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, even those Great Emperors treated him courteously, addressing him as Celestial Master Mingkong.

Everyone below the Great Emperor fawned over and pleased him.

But today...

In front of everyone, he, the lofty Celestial Master Mingkong, was made so miserable by Ye Chen. If word got out, all his reputation would be ruined!

Even though seriously injured, Ye Chen showed no anxiety or anger, but calmly raised his sword to reluctantly activate the Sword Array once more.

As long as he’s not dead.

He can fight!

Having failed to kill.

Then he’ll keep striking, strike until he’s dead!

As another clash was about to erupt.

Sikong Zhaixing, the Island Master of Divine Mirror Island, flashed his figure, blocking between Ye Chen and Celestial Master Mingkong.

"Celestial Master Mingkong, let’s stop here," Sikong Zhaixing said.

"Isle Master Sikong, get out of my way if you know what’s good for you, or I’ll destroy Divine Mirror Island too!" Celestial Master Mingkong, still furious, was unwilling to let go.

Ye Chen: "Isle Master Sikong, no need to stop me, I’ll slash a few more times."

Sikong Zhaixing: "..."

Neither listened to reason.

"Get lost!"

Celestial Master Mingkong’s anger erupted again, charging at Ye Chen.

Sikong Zhaixing, standing in between, furrowed his brow and slapped out, sending Celestial Master Mingkong flying.

He was just a step away from becoming a Great Emperor.

Celestial Master Mingkong, despite unleashing Great Emperor power through borrowed means, was truly no match for him.

Though Sikong Zhaixing acted out of helplessness.

Yet... it also indicated a choice he made.

Even so, he needed to first keep the peace.

Just as Sikong Zhaixing was about to continue persuading Ye Chen, another scream from the just thrown Celestial Master Mingkong was heard.

Sikong Zhaixing looked over.

His pupils constricted.

In that moment of distraction.

Ye Chen... had charged in again... this time, directly severing one of Celestial Master Mingkong’s arms...
