Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1067: Black Tide Surges, Rescue?

Inside the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin.

The Celestial Blade Emperor sat cross-legged, his expression calm.

Ever since being trapped here, unable to go anywhere or do anything, he might as well focus on cultivation.

At this moment.

A small old man with a squint-eyed smile and a bulbous nose suddenly appeared in front of the Celestial Blade Emperor and said, "Let’s have a chat."

The Celestial Blade Emperor stopped his cultivation, looked at the old man before him, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

The old man chuckled and said, "You’re quite composed, but for someone so composed, you’re doing something rather foolish. Coming here alone to confront the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins is truly unwise."

Celestial Blade Emperor: "People must have some goals. My life, to say the least, has been quite remarkable. It’s nearing its end, and I am indeed unwilling to die unnoticed.

Coming here to explore the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins has always been my goal. Anyway, I’m going to die, so there’s nothing to worry about."

Old man: "Die gloriously?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "In your hands, I admit defeat. If you want to kill me, feel free, but don’t expect me to surrender."

The old man continued to smile and said, "Have you considered leaving here alive?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "You would let me go?"

Old man: "It’s not impossible."

Celestial Blade Emperor: "But I won’t agree to your conditions."

Old man: "You’re so sure without even knowing what my conditions are?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "I may not know why the Nine Celestial Burial Coffins exist, but I know that the beings inside are not good things."

Old man: "Did I steal your wife?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "..."

Old man: "Did I dig up your family’s ancestral graves?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "..."

Old man: "Then why do you say I’m not a good thing?"

The Celestial Blade Emperor was flustered, finding the old man’s manner in the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin strange.

This style of speaking is exactly like Ye Chen, leaving people speechless.

Old man: "Xu Tiandao, I can let you go, and I can help you remove the life-threatening injury within you. Of course, there are conditions: after you leave, don’t mention me to Ye Chen, and you must protect Ye Chen no matter what happens, unless you’re dead. Can you do that?"

The Celestial Blade Emperor was bewildered.

Ye Chen... What’s his connection with the Celestial Burial Coffin?

Why does the old man in the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin care so much about Ye Chen?

The old man said faintly, "Don’t guess randomly, Ye Chen has no connection with the Celestial Burial Coffin. The reason I help him..."

The Celestial Blade Emperor listened intently.

But the old man stopped speaking, showing a playful smile, "I won’t tell you, what can you do about it?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "If Ye Chen wants to do harm for you, I absolutely cannot allow it."

Old man: "He can do whatever he wants, I can’t control him. I’m only asking you this one thing, I won’t ask you to do anything else. If you agree, I’ll heal your injuries and let you go when the time is right. If you don’t agree, then you’re on your own. Honestly, for someone like you, a Great Emperor, I’m not even interested in killing you myself."

The Celestial Blade Emperor gritted his teeth, "Alright!"

......

Within the Forbidden Zone.

Ye Chen walked amidst the Black Tide.

With the Mutian Divine Seal clearing the path, the Black Tide could not affect him in the slightest.

"Lao Chi doesn’t know where he’s hiding; I need to find him."

As for seeking out the Heaven-Breaking Emperor in the Evil Spirit Camp, Ye Chen was in no hurry.

Let the people arranged by the Sixth Generation Celestial Burial Coffin deal with it.

The priority is finding Lao Chi.

This time, getting Lao Chi out of the Forbidden Zone is the goal, and trying to restore Lao Chi promptly!

Such a powerful Emperor-level fighter shouldn’t be wasted.

After pondering for a long time.

Ye Chen thought, he probably needs to go to Hentian Emperor’s main base.

Lao Chi ended up in this situation because of Hentian Emperor’s tactics. He’s hiding in the Forbidden Zone, likely to cause trouble for Hentian Emperor.

"I don’t bother looking for a worthless Heaven-Breaking Emperor, but end up having to go to the stronghold of a powerful Hentian Emperor..."

Ye Chen chuckled; there’s nothing to fear. Now, he is someone who can tangle with an Emperor.

The Black Tide was cold and eerie, sweeping through as the primary force within the Forbidden Zone created new evil spirits.

Lao Chi had been to the source of the Black Tide once. He still has a ring acquired at the source, and Ye Chen thought, upon finding Lao Chi, he needs to learn more about it.

If Lao Chi remains tight-lipped like before, then he’ll give him a beating!

In his prime, Ye Chen couldn’t beat Lao Chi, but now Lao Chi is merely a finger!

Along the way.

Ye Chen occasionally encountered some evil spirits, which he resolved handily.

Every now and then, he also found people trapped in the Black Tide who hadn’t retreated to seek lighthouse sanctuary in time, so he lent a hand where convenient.

Before he knew it, Ye Chen amassed around five hundred people behind him!

However, Ye Chen didn’t show his true face, instead donning the Asura mask and using the Asura codename once more!

Outside, he has already become less inconspicuous.

If people knew he could move freely within the Black Tide, it would likely cause even more unknown troubles.

Even the Mutian Divine Seal was used secretly without being revealed to anyone.

Everyone following him simply regarded Ye Chen as an experienced elder surviving in the Black Tide.

"Asura Elder, can we truly survive?" asked an old man sorrowfully, a Saint Realm from the Martial Alliance.

A loose cultivator also spoke: "Trapped in the Black Tide, without finding a lighthouse, we will all die eventually..."

"Death isn’t frightening; it’s just feeling suffocated not having slain more evil spirits!"

There were all sorts of comments.

Among them, a small batch from the Celestial Cauldron are the toughest, eager to fiercely battle some evil spirits before dying!

True to being led by the Celestial Cauldron Emperor.

Just as the leader is, so are the followers.

Ye Chen: "Just follow me, if morale drops, you’ll die quicker. The Black Tide has a stealthy effect of confusing minds and provoking negative emotions. In the Black Tide, the best approach is to maintain high morale and firmly believe you can survive!"

This wasn’t just Ye Chen’s random banter.

He heard from Chi Mutian that this Forbidden Zone was possibly created at the end of an era by a Supreme Powerhouse collecting countless negative emotions.

Currently, about half of the more than five hundred people behind him are already affected, in states of pessimism, anger, etc.

Ye Chen’s words managed to stabilize some of the people’s minds.

"Asura Elder, if we can overcome this disaster, we’ll definitely remember your great favor!"

"In the future, the affairs of Asura Elder will be our affairs too!"

Ye Chen didn’t care about these words.

The strongest among them was only in the Saint Realm, and he currently doesn’t lack Saint Realm aides.

In other words.

Saint Realm... can’t offer much help.

At that moment.

In the darkness, a soft cry echoed.

Soon, an old man, leading a similarly large group, appeared before Ye Chen and his companions.

The old man’s face was deeply wrinkled, yet his eyes were as sharp as eagle’s!

"Encountering me is your luck, come on, there’s a lighthouse nearby, I’ll take you there."

"Sir, might you be Elder Qi Yun of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect?" someone asked from Ye Chen’s group.

The old man nodded and said, "Indeed, follow me, and I’ll lead you to safety!"

Ye Chen said nothing.

His instincts told him there was something wrong.

Since when have people from the Ten Thousand Islands Sect become so kind-hearted?

He still had people from the Martial Alliance and Celestial Cauldron Alliance with him.

The Martial Alliance and Celestial Cauldron Alliance were already at a point of tearing faces with the Ten Thousand Islands Sect!
