Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1081: A Thousand Tons, One Arrow—Turning the Tide

Ye Chen’s outburst shocked the heavens and the earth, astounding countless people.

Prior to this, everyone knew that Ye Chen had once faced Great Emperor Tong Dabao in direct confrontation.

However, that encounter involved a significant element of cunning.

Even though Ye Chen had slain quite a few seasoned Emperor Realm powerhouses, in everyone’s eyes, he still fell considerably short compared to Ouyang Zhen, who was regarded as the foremost beneath the Great Emperor.

Just moments ago, Ye Chen was being suppressed by Ouyang Zhen, which corroborated this belief.

But...

Suddenly, Ye Chen staged a dramatic reversal, instantly turning the tables, and directly killed Ouyang Zhen!

"Lao Chi, go assist Old Wang and Old Li!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly.

At this time, Old Wang and Li Hai were still engaged with the Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect and needed help.

Dealing with Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar was not something they could rely on Lao Chi for, anyway.

After instructing them, Ye Chen immediately flew toward the towering lighthouse.

Luo Tian was at his limit!

Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar furrowed his brow, and in the next moment, struck a fierce blow.

This strike, embodying the fundamental power of which he did not mind exhausting this avatar, landed with a thunderous sound, shattering Luo Tian’s body.

At this moment.

Luo Tian was truly at his end!

"Die!"

Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar roared ferociously, charging toward Luo Tian, intending to finish him off before dealing with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen clenched his teeth, as the Origin of the Ancient Clan within the Origin World surged out madly, and he forcibly executed the Heaven-Ascending Step: Heaven and Earth are Close, instantly positioning himself in front of Luo Tian.

"Is my brother someone you can kill?!"

Ye Chen roared, as the Celestial Mark Sword, still fused with the Law Battle Sword, slashed out forcefully!

The kunpeng soared through the starry sky, the Thunder Qilin roared in frenzied assault, the true dragon spiraled with unrivaled might, and the divine phoenix burned everything in its fiery rebirth...

This sword strike.

Ye Chen held nothing back.

"Rumble!"

The cataclysmic roar sounded continuously.

Everything around was shattering and obliterating!

Even the Emperor Realm powerhouses, at a distance, felt their hearts tremble in fear and awe!

This was a strike that truly contended directly with a Great Emperor!

"Ye Chen, don’t even think of ruining my plans!"

From within the apocalyptic storm, Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar let out a hysterical yell, and in the next moment, he charged out of the storm, directly entering the Divine Stone Array at the top of the lighthouse.

The power of the Divine Stone Array was boiling, its might astonishing.

"Ye Chen, to achieve this burst of power, you’ve already paid a heavy price, you’re no longer a threat to me, hahaha, today, I’ll make sure you all die here!"

Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar, his face twisted, appeared like a madman!

The heavily bleeding Luo Tian flew to Ye Chen’s side, saying, "He intends to discard this avatar to silence us."

Emperor Tian Wan was already aware that his deal with the evil spirits had been exposed, and if word spread, the Ten Thousand Islands Sect would immediately become the target of public disdain, and everything about the sect would be at risk of being overturned.

Abandoning an incomplete avatar, and taking those who knew the truth down with him, was the only and best option.

Even if he couldn’t kill them all.

Killing most of them would mean the Ten Thousand Islands Sect could continue as it always had!

As for creating another avatar, it would just take a little time and energy to redo it!

Both Luo Tian and Ye Chen fully understood Emperor Tian Wan’s strategy.

"Not stupid," Ye Chen said.

After saying that, he also spat out a mouthful of blood.

Luo Tian: "...Still find time to argue with me at this moment?"

Ye Chen: "What moment is it?"

Luo Tian: "If we don’t find a way to stop Emperor Tian Wan, taking down this lighthouse of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect will be pointless, and many of us will die."

Ye Chen: "You can’t do it?"

Luo Tian: "...I... can still fight!"

Ye Chen: "You’re a man lacking stamina, I’ve known this before, but I’m still fine; given that I’m fine, his Wan Qianjue avatar is nothing, no need to worry."

Luo Tian: "..."

Ye Chen: "Don’t act hastily, save your strength."

Having said that, Ye Chen looked toward the top of the lighthouse, took a deep breath, and once again unleashed his power to the fullest extent.

"Wan Qianjue, today I destroy this avatar, next time I’ll slaughter your true body!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly, once again unleashing power to contend with a Great Emperor, charging toward the Divine Stone Array at the top of the lighthouse!

He formed the Celestial Master Chen Seal with one hand, and the power of the Divine Stone surged from his palm, making the Divine Stone Array tremble intensely.

Following that.

Eighty-one holy swords danced through the air like a star-filled river, unleashing concentrated strikes against the violently shaking Divine Stone Array, causing countless cracks to appear.

"Break for me!"

Ye Chen shouted, the Law Battle Sword merged into the Celestial Mark Sword, and a boundless rainbow of Sword Qi slashed out.

The Divine Stone Array was finally breached by Ye Chen’s unyielding assault.

At this moment, Emperor Tian Wan’s face showed a sinister smile, as if saying to Ye Chen that everything was too late.

In his hand, a fragment of a divine core was on the verge of detonation, and boundless divine light emanated from it; no one, not even a Great Emperor, could see through the infinite divine light.

This was the power belonging to a god!

Even incomplete.

But... once it detonated, its terrifying power would exceed everyone’s imagination!

All in the battlefield could feel the presence of death!

"Hahaha, it’s all over!"

Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar laughed arrogantly.

"I’ll end you, damn it!"

Ye Chen’s angry shout followed, and with a swing of his sword, he directly shattered Emperor Tian Wan’s avatar.

At this time, Ye Chen was almost at the end of his rope.

Forcefully condensing the Law Battle Sword and performing Heaven-Ascending Step: Heaven and Earth are Close, all took a hefty toll!

Before him, that divine core fragment was on the verge of complete detonation, only needing one more instant.

Once detonated.

Many people would die.

Luo Tian would die.

Old Wang and the others would probably die too.

As for himself... in this state, he would hardly escape death!

Perhaps only that finger of Chi Mutian could survive.

"I’ll risk it!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, and the next moment, the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique operated to its extreme.

Blazing divine light erupted from his acupuncture points, strange celestial images manifested within the divine light from the points, majestic, solemn, and with divine majesty!

"Take it in!"

Ye Chen shouted loudly, and in the next moment, directly absorbed that about-to-detonate divine core fragment into one of his points!

Then.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion burst forth.

Blood mist drifted!

......

"It’s over..."

Chi Mutian’s Divine Finger sighed.

Old Wang, Li Hai, and Luo Tian stood beside Chi Mutian, and everyone wore an expression of indescribable sorrow.

The divine core fragment exploded.

But no one knew how Ye Chen intercepted all of the explosive power.

Everyone was safe.

But...

Where was Ye Chen?

That was the detonation of a divine core fragment, something even a true Great Emperor couldn’t survive!

Especially since Ye Chen was not yet a Great Emperor.

The oppressive atmosphere spread, everyone felt as though a hand was clutching their throat, making it hard to breathe.

In the field.

With blood all over and a pale face, Luo Tian, holding his heavy sword, flew toward the location where the divine core fragment detonated.

"Get back, even a Great Emperor shouldn’t enter recklessly!" Chi Mutian shouted.

"He told me to save some strength earlier, he wanted me to save him."

Luo Tian’s voice rang out, without looking back, he charged into that terrifying storm!

At this moment.

An image involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

A long, long time ago...

During the new student trial at the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

His heavily injured self, carrying a critically wounded Ye Chen to escape.

Now, as his heavily injured self again, he was determined to bring Ye Chen out alive!

It seemed it wasn’t so long ago either.

Just a few years have passed...
