Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1009: Retreat and Dialogue with the Heavenly Blade

In the void.

Beside Celestial Blade Emperor, terrifying waves of power swirled.

Opposite him stood a man wearing a golden crown and clad in a purple-gold robe.

"Celestial Blade, your end is near. Hiding away in the Martial Alliance Headquarters to eke out a prolonged existence is what you must do. After all, each day you live is another day for your Martial Alliance to persist. You shouldn’t have come out."

Celestial Blade Emperor smiled faintly, saying, "Maybe by cutting down a few people, I might break through."

Emperor Tian Wan sneered coldly, "Why deceive yourself? At this stage, trying to progress further is incredibly difficult, as we both know. You simply have no chance."

Celestial Blade Emperor: "If I don’t try, how will I know?"

"You’re as arrogant as ever. If it weren’t for this arrogance, you wouldn’t be in this position today. Long ago, when you brandished your blade at the heavens, it seemed unparalleled in vigor, but in reality, it was a mere joke. That strike severed your own path," sneered Emperor Tian Wan.

Celestial Blade Emperor, unfazed, replied, "That’s still better than those who wag their tails to beg for pity."

Emperor Tian Wan furrowed his brow, saying, "There is no road ahead. I strive for a higher place, and there is nothing wrong with that. When I see the scenery from the heights, it is all worth it."

"Our paths differ, so we can’t work together. Let me see whether your so-called high view is hope or a dead-end!" Once he finished speaking, Celestial Blade Emperor held a long saber emitting endless radiance.

A saber strike slashed through.

The saber light illuminated the entire void brilliantly.

All that transpired in the void was beyond the perception of those within Divine Mirror Island.

Ye Chen’s gaze remained fixed on the dying Celestial Master Mingkong.

It seemed he could continue cutting...

But before Ye Chen could act.

A massive boom sounded once again.

The big formation of Divine Mirror Island was penetrated once more with a hole.

Great Emperor Tong Dabao of Celestial Child Divine Island, covered in blood, charged towards Ye Chen.

"Boom!"

Celestial Cauldron Emperor from the Alliance of Bodies dove down, sending Tong Dabao flying with a punch.

Ye Chen watched Tong Dabao, grinning, and the remnant spirit of Tong Mengling, which he had been controlling, floated out, followed by a powerful sword strike.

The power protecting the remnant spirit of Tong Mengling was almost completely worn out, unable to withstand Ye Chen’s sword edge any longer. The remnant spirit of Tong Mengling was cleaved into dust, vanishing completely.

Killing the emperor’s daughter right before an emperor’s eyes.

Such a feeling... exhilarating!

"Ye Chen, you..." Celestial Child Emperor’s roar resounded like thunder.

Celestial Cauldron Emperor laughed loudly, "Well killed!"

Celestial Master Mingkong grabbed Celestial Child Emperor, saying, "Go!"

In the next moment, an extremely peculiar power erupted, causing their figures to vanish completely.

Celestial Cauldron Emperor glanced at Ye Chen, saying, "I told you not to act rashly, yet you were impulsive!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Clearly, before they arrived, Celestial Cauldron Emperor had told him to fight as he pleased.

Celestial Cauldron Emperor: "Now look what happened, you used up the life-saving method I gave you, and almost lost your life. Your essence source is nearly exhausted, and what was the outcome? You didn’t even manage to kill Mingkong."

Ye Chen: "..."

It seems Celestial Cauldron Emperor is rough but not foolish.

He is helping to cover up some things for me!

Ye Chen suddenly staggered and then immediately used his sword to support himself on the ground, appearing weak and frail, like a flickering candle in the wind, his voice feeble: "Great Emperor... You mentioned one drop of divine blood with complete purity could revive me... that’s why I..."

"Cough..."

Celestial Cauldron Emperor suddenly coughed.

Just pretend.

This little rascal still wants a drop of divine blood with complete purity!

"Even a drop of divine blood with complete purity can’t save you. Later, I will use my emperor’s essence source to heal your injuries," Celestial Cauldron Emperor said solemnly, glaring intensely at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "Thank you, Great Emperor."

So stingy!

Moments later.

A figure flew out from the void.

Of unparalleled grace and unmatched dominance.

It was Celestial Blade Emperor.

Everyone bowed their heads to pay respect.

Despite rumors that Celestial Blade Emperor’s end is near, no one dared to disrespect him.

Celestial Cauldron Emperor smiled and said, "Celestial Blade, did you kill that guy?"

Celestial Blade Emperor shook his head, saying, "I only cut down one of his avatars that he had refined for a thousand years."

Saying this, Celestial Blade Emperor looked at Sikong Zhaixing, saying, "In this chaotic time, no one can stay out of it; it’s best to decide early."

Sikong Zhaixing nodded, saying, "Thank you Celestial Blade Emperor for your guidance."

Celestial Blade Emperor then turned to Ye Chen and said, "I have a blade, named the Two-Cut Saber, which might have some slight resonance with your Sword Dao."

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with interest.

For Celestial Blade Emperor to say this openly in front of so many people, it was significant.

He was clearly telling everyone.

Not only does Ye Chen have the support of the Celestial Cauldron Emperor from the Alliance of Bodies, but also the protection of Xu Tiandao!

Celestial Blade Emperor’s end may be near.

But... this is what makes Celestial Blade Emperor most terrifying.

An emperor nearing his end can disregard everything, and once he goes mad, even the Celestial Burial Sea could be overturned!

Ye Chen cupped his hands, saying, "Celestial Blade Emperor’s Two-Cut Saber is unparalleled in the world. If I am fortunate enough to learn even a tiny bit, it would be a blessing worth eight lifetimes."

Although I cultivate the Sword Dao.

The Sword and Blade Daos are not conflicting, and indeed there are many areas to appreciate.

Moreover, the Two-Cut Saber is truly formidable!

Besides, Celestial Blade Emperor is my master uncle’s father-in-law, so a little flattery isn’t out of place.

Flattering the emperor doesn’t hurt one’s dignity.

...

In a spacious secret chamber.

Ye Chen was alone.

The part about Celestial Cauldron Emperor consuming emperor essence for healing was just an act; Ye Chen didn’t take it seriously, as his condition was mainly depletion, while the injuries were manageable.

The shoulder shattered by the Divine Stone Power refined by Celestial Master Mingkong had already regrown. Although this power is quite complex, it was no match for the abundant ancient essence source within Ye Chen.

Last time.

The Original Celestial Eight Great Families used the power of the Eight Secret Roots to seal the essence pool.

Ye Chen sent in a divine sense avatar to seize the power of the Soldier Secret Root.

The Original Celestial’s seal became mere decoration, unable to block his absorption any longer.

About an hour later, the restriction on the secret chamber opened, and Celestial Blade Emperor appeared in front of Ye Chen.

"Celestial Cauldron had some affairs to attend to, so he left first," said Celestial Blade Emperor.

Ye Chen: "Celestial Blade Emperor, was the situation at Divine Mirror Island a trap?"

Celestial Blade Emperor nodded, "There are issues with Tong Dabao of Celestial Child Divine Island and that Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser Mingkong; we wanted to test them.

As for Emperor Tian Wan of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect, he also carries many secrets. Celestial Cauldron and I discovered his cooperation with Celestial Child Divine Island, so we set up this trap.

I didn’t inform you beforehand. Now that you know the truth, what are your thoughts?"

Ye Chen: "No thoughts."

What thoughts could there be?

Being weak, he can only be manipulated.

Fortunately, Celestial Blade and Celestial Cauldron, the two great emperors, are reliable enough.

Celestial Blade Emperor smiled faintly, saying, "Actually, we didn’t want to involve you so deeply; there was an unexpected change midway. When I was about to appear, a mysterious force obstructed me for a moment."

Ye Chen felt a lot more at ease suddenly.

At least, Celestial Blade Emperor explained.

Ye Chen: "Celestial Blade Emperor, you said there’s an issue with Celestial Child Divine Island, what kind of issue?"

Celestial Blade Emperor shook his head, saying, "You are not suited to get involved further."

Ye Chen: "Let me say it then. It’s related to parasitic entities, and there’s a chance Tong Dabao harbors the will of one such entity within him."

Celestial Blade Emperor: "..."

"How do you know?"

Ye Chen: "On Aurora Island, I killed a genius from Celestial Child Divine Island and discovered this secret. Moreover, before I killed Tong Mengling’s remnant spirit, the power guarding her was not from the strong of Celestial Child Divine Island but the will of a parasitic entity. It just hadn’t awakened, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to kill Tong Mengling."

Celestial Blade Emperor: "...It turns out you see things more clearly than we do."
