Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1015: Radiant Crystal Stone, Black Energy

An Emperor Realm Earth Seal Spirit Master, Ye Chen had no desire to attack; it was self-inflicted discomfort even if he did.

Strength...

Still not enough!

At this moment.

Suddenly, exclamations arose from the crowd.

"Master Zhang is indeed formidable; the Stone-Pointing Celestial Secret Technique is rightfully ranked seventy-eighth on the list of stone identification secret techniques for its profoundness."

"Master Zhang’s methods truly embody a Divine Appraiser, unlike some people who merely show off..."

"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"

A series of dense whistling sounds arose, and like a starry river, a sword array instantly submerged someone.

Ye Chen waved his hand to retrieve all the holy swords.

Another one slain!

"Ye Chen, your stone identification is already complete, and he did not interfere with you, you..."

Clearly, the person Ye Chen had just annihilated with the sword array was on good terms with Zhang Hao. At this moment, Zhang Hao was flushed with anger, trembling from excessive rage.

Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "Compliments for you and stepping on me; if not him, then who should die?"

The entire venue was speechless.

This group of Divine Appraisers truly witnessed what arrogance looked like today!

Ye Chen: "Want to keep chattering? First, weigh your own strength. If you lack Emperor Realm skills, it’s effortless for me to cut you down. Of course, even those in the Emperor Realm should think carefully before speaking, or else I’ll have Brother Mutian deal with you!"

With Ye Chen’s reminder, everyone’s expression changed multiple times.

They almost forgot that Ye Chen was Little Brother to Celestial Burial Sea’s madman, Chi Mutian!

Behind Ye Chen, not only was there the Celestial Blade Emperor and Celestial Cauldron Emperor, but also an utterly unreasonable Chi Mutian!

No wonder...

Ye Chen’s behavior precisely mirrored Chi Mutian’s!

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Wait till I identify the divine stone; I’ll show you!"

Ye Chen: "I’ll wait for you to kneel before me and gouge out your own eyes."

"We’ll see!" Zhang Hao snorted coldly and continued to appraise the divine stone.

Two hours later.

Ye Chen yawned, bored, and said, "Hesitating over choosing a divine stone, no wonder you’ve never reached the level of a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, you old waste."

This time, Zhang Hao did not rebuke but instead looked embarrassed towards Sikong Zhaixing and said, "Isle Master Sikong, in the divine stone wager, any unselected divine stone in the venue can be picked, right?"

He had no other choice because he had identified all the divine stones one by one, only to find that the one most likely to reveal a great opportunity was one of the five divine stones Ye Chen had selected previously...

But he had previously mocked Ye Chen, stating he wouldn’t choose the five divine stones Ye Chen screened...

Without waiting for Sikong Zhaixing to respond, Ye Chen interjected, "Isle Master Sikong, if someone desperately wants to be a turtle grandchild, then kindly let him be one."

Ye Chen was indifferent.

No matter how Zhang Hao chose, it was useless; Ye Chen had confidence in his chosen divine stones!

Zhang Hao’s face turned as dark as it could get, and this time, he indeed had slapped his own face hard.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Hao steadied his mind.

It’s okay.

Winning is all that matters!

Soon, he’d personally gouge out Ye Chen’s eyes and make Ye Chen kneel before him!

Over another hour passed, Zhang Hao finally selected one divine stone from the four previously screened by Ye Chen.

"Isle Master Sikong, let’s open the stone!" Zhang Hao eagerly looked at Sikong Zhaixing.

Sikong Zhaixing nodded; at this point, there was no stopping it.

Soon, Sikong Zhaixing summoned an elderly man with graying hair to be in charge of opening the stone.

Opening a divine stone is a highly technical task not only requiring vast resources to maintain internal stone power stability but also concerning numerous details.

The elderly man had extensive experience with stone opening and was evidently a respected figure, attracting a crowd of Divine Appraisers avidly watching his every move.

Regarding stone opening, Ye Chen wasn’t interested.

Too exhausting, no time for nonsense.

Furthermore, it was meaningless!

Once you reach the level of a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser, you can use other means to open the divine stone!

The first stone to be opened was the one chosen by Zhang Hao.

The elderly man continuously stripped away the stone surface, and over time, the originally head-sized divine stone gradually shrank to the size of a fist.

Then, the elderly man cut down once more.

"Buzz!"

As the divine stone vibrated, a glow burst forth, illuminating the area with dazzling radiance.

"It’s out!"

"Such a distinct fluctuation, I dare say what’s inside is absolutely precious."

"Hahaha, Master Zhang’s skills are impressive, congratulations to Master Zhang in advance."

"Master Zhang, please don’t forget the wager later!"

The depression in Zhang Hao’s chest vanished instantly, replaced by a faint smile as he stroked his beard and said, "Based on my experience, inside should be a Lustrous Crystal Stone."

"A Lustrous Crystal Stone... just a fingernail-sized one can elevate holy arms by a tier!"

"This is truly a treasure; such a large Lustrous Crystal Stone could be used to craft a hundred and eighty holy arms..."

"Honestly, it’s my first time seeing such a large Lustrous Crystal Stone; it’s quite enlightening!"

Amidst a chorus of compliments.

Zhang Hao appeared even more proud, unconsciously glancing at Ye Chen, his demeanor full of the victor’s smugness!

Ye Chen: "It’s merely what I chose to leave behind; what’s there to be proud of?"

"What you left behind? Perhaps it’s your blind eye for mistakenly passing over this divine stone," Zhang Hao restrained his anger.

Cannot be incited by Ye Chen anymore; victory was imminent, and soon all fury could be vented thoroughly!

Ultimately, the Lustrous Crystal Stone revealed by Zhang Hao’s selected divine stone wasn’t as large as imagined but still sufficient for crafting twenty to thirty holy arms.

Of course, crafting holy arms requires more than just Lustrous Crystal Stones; plenty of rare materials are needed, with Lustrous Crystal Stone being the essential material.

Ye Chen cupped his hands at the elderly stone opener and said, "Elder, please open my stone next."

The elderly man nodded and began moving accordingly.

The rock peeled layer by layer.

A crowd surrounded, though silent, their eyes were increasingly disdainful.

Because, the divine stone chosen by Ye Chen had been cut down to finger-sized, with no unusual fluctuations whatsoever.

Zhang Hao laughed boisterously, "Ye Chen, is this your confidence? I’ve truly had my eyes opened today. Ignorant brat, shouldn’t you quickly kneel before me and gouge your own eyes?!"

A multitude of expectant eyes focused on Ye Chen.

Sikong Zhaixing took a deep breath and said, "Master Zhang, Ye Chen is, after all, a young man, impulsive as he was earlier. Let’s have Ye Chen apologize to you, Master Zhang, and Divine Mirror Island will offer a batch of high-tier divine stones to you as compensation; how about calling off the wager?"

Zhang Hao sneered, "Isle Master Sikong need not speak further; a wager is a wager, and it must be honored. If I were to lose, I’d gouge my eyes and kneel without another word!"

Ye Chen: "Isle Master Sikong, it’s fine; if I truly lose, I can afford it!"

Saying this, Ye Chen looked to the elderly stone opener and said, "Elder, please continue."

The elderly man sighed.

Having opened numerous stones himself, his judgment led him to believe Ye Chen’s chosen divine stone had no chance.

Nonetheless, the elderly man persisted in stone opening, focused, with one cut following another.

Finally.

Ye Chen’s selected divine stone was reduced to the size of a soybean.

The elderly man made another cut.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, a black light beam surged skyward!

Though the beam was slender, it emanated an incredibly profound aura...
