Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1146: Emperor Realm Opportunity, A Satisfying Absorption!

Ye Chen was very surprised.

At this moment, the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin actually knew the situation he was facing.

"You planted a spy on my side?"

First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin: "That’s not important. What’s important is—the Heaven-Swallowing Technique. Want to learn it?"

Ye Chen: "State the terms first!"

First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin: "Just treat it as you owing me a favor. How about that?"

Ye Chen: "For this favor, can I choose when to repay it, and in what way?"

First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin: "Do as you like."

Ye Chen: "Deal!"

Because he was talking to the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin, his focus inevitably scattered a bit.

Carelessly, he let the Celestial Child Emperor seize an opening and hack him flying with one slash.

Fortunately, with three layers of defense on his body, nothing serious happened.

On the Coffin’s side, a voice transmission had already begun, passing the so-called Heaven-Swallowing Secret Technique to Ye Chen. Because of this, Ye Chen no longer had any desire to counterattack the Celestial Child Emperor.

In the Celestial Child Emperor’s eyes, Ye Chen was already showing signs of running out of strength, so his mood soared and he laughed harshly, "Ye Chen, you’re about done, aren’t you? This day next year will be your death anniversary. Hahaha, in the end you still die in the hands of me, Tong Dabao!"

At this time.

On several other battlefields.

The Celestial Cauldron Emperor, Emperor Mutian, the Battling Monk, Sikong Zhaixing, Zhang Qianye, and Zhou Zhong were all worried about Ye Chen’s safety and wanted to come support him.

Ye Chen bellowed, "Don’t worry about me, kill your own opponents first! This trash Tong Dabao wants to kill me? He’s dreaming. His strength, I wouldn’t even use it to scratch an itch!"

The Celestial Child Emperor’s face twisted hideously.

Even at a time like this, he was still despised by Ye Chen like this.

His lifetime of prestige was completely and utterly ruined in Ye Chen’s hands!

"Aaahhh!"

Roars rang out again and again. The Celestial Child Emperor, like a rabid dog, burned his Domain World Origin even further and launched a frenzied, suicidal assault on Ye Chen.

Everyone watching from the island at sea was now all clenching their fists for Ye Chen.

Judging by the looks of it, Ye Chen... really seemed about to reach his limit...

This situation dragged on for a full quarter of an hour and more.

Ye Chen finally obtained the Heaven-Swallowing Technique cultivation method.

Only... it seemed incomplete!

"Big bro, there’s something wrong with the Secret Technique you gave me, isn’t there?" Ye Chen hurriedly sent a voice transmission to the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin.

First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin: "One-Ninth Heaven-Swallowing Technique—more than enough for you. As for the complete Heaven-Swallowing Technique, I’ll teach you when there’s a chance."

Ye Chen grunted in acknowledgement and sent back, "Much appreciated. In future, if anyone tries to lift your coffin lid, I’ll put in a good word for you."

Immediately after.

Ye Chen began comprehending the Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

At the same time.

Within that boundless darkness inside the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin.

The little old man was sitting there casually.

Suddenly.

A point of dazzling radiance bloomed.

Matchless blade light split the darkness into two.

Divine Power surged.

But this scene of abnormality lasted for only an instant before everything was drowned by darkness again.

The figure of the Celestial Blade Emperor flashed out of the darkness and stood before the little old man.

"You’ve become a god? Not bad—slightly faster than I expected." The little old man said offhandedly.

The Celestial Blade Emperor’s face held endless emotion as he said, "I originally thought that no matter how strong the Heaven-Burying Coffin’s power was, it had a limit. But now I finally understand—the terror of the Heaven-Burying Coffin far exceeds my imagination."

The little old man snorted with a laugh and said, "So, you now realize that trying to fight a pile of coffins with just top-tier Great Emperor strength is a very stupid thing?"

Celestial Blade Emperor: "...When are you letting me out?"

Little old man: "Not yet. If I just toss you out now, the other eight coffins could erase you down to the last speck of ash in an instant. Wait till the timing is right."

Celestial Blade Emperor: "The Celestial Burial Sea is very likely to have a major storm soon..."

The little old man chuckled, "The storm has already started. But you don’t need to worry. That little brat is more than enough to settle these small matters. If he can’t even deal with a few Great Emperors, he might as well stop calling himself Ye Chen."

The Celestial Blade Emperor’s gaze flickered as he asked, "What’s so special about Ye Chen, exactly?"

The little old man said faintly, "He... is a freak."

The Celestial Blade Emperor was rendered speechless once again.

Little old man: "Just wait peacefully. Opponents on the Great Emperor level—he doesn’t need your help for that. I helped you become a god so you can assist him in handling more complicated things."

The Celestial Blade Emperor’s expression grew solemn as he said, "My intuition tells me you truly care about him. Can you tell me what exactly is the relationship between you and him?"

Little old man: "You’re that eager to know?"

The Celestial Blade Emperor nodded.

The little old man laughed, "None of your damn business!"

......

Above the Chen Alliance.

The great battle was still raging on.

In everyone’s eyes, among the several battlefields, the first to decide victory and defeat would definitely be the clash between Ye Chen and the Celestial Child Emperor.

Ye Chen... his chances of winning were slim.

For quite some time now, Ye Chen had been completely on the back foot, with no intention of counterattacking at all, merely defending passively.

The Celestial Child Emperor’s Domain World Origin was greatly depleted, but his battle intent only grew more intense.

Slaying Ye Chen was right before him.

His intuition told him this was his last chance.

If he missed this opportunity, given Ye Chen’s growth rate, it wouldn’t be long before he really, truly would no longer be Ye Chen’s match.

"Ye Chen, you’ve already reached a dead end. You’re destined to die in my hands today!" The Celestial Child Emperor roared, burning a large amount of Domain World Origin again. His blade swept up diagonally, its edge chilling, its power violent and domineering, its killing force extremely terrifying.

A flash passed through Ye Chen’s eyes, and the power within his body instantly began operating in a special way.

Every strand of power was like an abyss.

This was the power of the Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

This kind of Secret Technique was complex and profound. Under normal circumstances, even with Ye Chen’s talent, and even with a heap of Enlightenment Tea leaves, he wouldn’t see any results without three to five years of effort.

But the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique he comprehended was an even higher-level, grand unified cultivation technique. He used the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique to execute the Heaven-Swallowing Technique, and the effect was excellent.

The power of the Heaven-Swallowing Technique flowed into the Celestial Mark Sword.

The Celestial Mark Sword swung with Ye Chen’s arm, slashing toward the long blade in the Celestial Child Emperor’s hand.

"Clang!"

A thunderous sound exploded.

Blade and sword clashed for a brief moment, then separated as Ye Chen’s figure was blasted backward.

But in that instant of contact, the Heaven-Swallowing Technique’s power attached to the Celestial Mark Sword smoothly sucked away a sizable portion of the Celestial Child Emperor’s Domain World Origin.

That Domain World Origin was instantly assimilated by Ye Chen’s power and poured into his body.

Ye Chen’s eyes were shining.

Devouring a Great Emperor’s Domain World Origin and turning it into his own...

This...

Was practically a shortcut to opening up his own domain!

And just so happened.

He was already at the peak of the Saint Realm, only one step away from the Emperor Realm.

Today, while killing this piece of trash Tong Dabao, he could conveniently open up the domain that belonged to him!

Ye Chen’s heart surged with excitement.

He... was finally about to step into the Emperor Realm.

Stabilizing his backward-flying figure, Ye Chen immediately charged toward the Celestial Child Emperor.

The Celestial Child Emperor’s offensive rose again and again, like a violent storm.

Ye Chen’s figure was elusive, nimble and graceful, constantly maneuvering around the Celestial Child Emperor.

A short while later.

Ye Chen seized an opening, his figure flashing as he deliberately slipped through a gap in the Celestial Child Emperor’s Domain World and rushed into his Domain World.

Outside, using the Heaven-Swallowing Technique to nibble away bit by bit was far too slow.

Might as well go inside and have a feast!
