Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1203: Imprinting, Traces of Time

Facing Ye Chen’s question, Chi Mutian hesitated a bit.

Ye Chen: "Lao Chi, I can say that I have no guards against you because you are one of us.

But.

What I worry about is that you have been manipulated and used."

This chaotic world, anything related to the epoch is never simple.

Behind every matter, there are countless invisible hands pushing."

Chi Mutian hesitated, and then said, "It’s my master!"

Ye Chen: "Your master? Where is he?"

Chi Mutian: "Originally, I was just an ordinary, very ordinary minor cultivator in the Celestial Burial Sea. By the age of a hundred, I was merely at the Unity Realm, and at that time, my greatest wish was to be able to condense a Dharma form.

Then one day, a powerful existence beyond my comprehension appeared. He took me as his disciple, carefully taught me cultivation techniques, guided my cultivation, and even went as far as to expend his foundation to rebuild my bones.

If it weren’t for my master, I wouldn’t have what I have today.

On the day I entered the Emperor Realm, my master told me about the origin of the black tide.

Since then.

I have never seen him again!

Ye Chen, I understand your worries. Indeed, matters involving the epoch are all elusive.

But... I won’t doubt my master.

His kindness towards me is as profound as a mountain.

Just like your teacher is to you.

Put yourself in my shoes. Would you doubt your teacher Yang Tianji?

Knowing well that Yang Tianji is entangled in many things, you still wouldn’t have any grievances or distrust towards him!

The logic is the same.

Therefore, I hope you can understand me too!"

Ye Chen was silent for a moment.

He naturally understood this kind of sentiment.

"Lao Chi, I won’t destroy the image of your master in your heart. Let me ask one last question: why did your master make you seek the arrow tainted with the Secret of Time?"

Chi Mutian: "There’s no particular reason, just hoping I could obtain it, comprehend the Secret of Time, and make myself stronger!"

Ye Chen did not say more.

His gaze slipped unobtrusively across the ring on Chi Mutian’s finger, and the next moment, a powerful edge burst forth from Ye Chen’s body, as six divine powers propelled into his body.

This was the most comfortable state.

His strength soared, and the Heart of the Sea King could perfectly bear the eruption of this power without showing signs of being overwhelmed.

"Swish!"

A sword was drawn.

The ground of the Evil Spirit Forbidden Area was instantly torn apart.

"Let’s go up and see!"

Ye Chen lightly called out, taking the lead in charging through the crack.

Outside.

The black tide rolled violently, blocking sight and unable to be sensed by Spiritual Power.

Ye Chen immediately formed the Sun and Moon Hand Seal with his hands.

A blazing sun and a glowing moon appeared simultaneously beside Ye Chen.

Through the power of the Mutian Divine Seal created by Lao Chi, the sun and moon shone brightly, dispelling the surrounding black tide.

The next moment.

An arrow appeared within Ye Chen’s sight.

This arrow, rusty all over, had one end stained with bright red blood.

It was a world-stabilizing treasure that crossed epochs, existing here for unknown tens of thousands of years.

Yet... the bloodstain on the arrow remained bright red, and Ye Chen could even faintly sense a vast Qi Blood power akin to a sea of blood roaring from it, as if a giant was roaring!

Whom did the bloodstain on the arrow belong to, such terrifying existence?

It’s simply unimaginable!

Just as Ye Chen’s gaze gathered on the arrow for a moment.

His thinking suddenly slowed down.

Yet this slowness appeared extremely natural.

Chi Mutian flew over too.

His palm pressed on Ye Chen’s shoulder.

The ring on his hand suddenly emitted a thread of light.

Ye Chen’s thoughts immediately retracted from the arrow.

The odd state was instantly lifted.

"Don’t stare at that arrow, otherwise, you easily fall into the vortex of time. Once lost in the power of time, the consequences... are unimaginable." Chi Mutian’s voice sounded extremely serious.

Ye Chen’s gaze turned to Chi Mutian, asking: "Lao Chi, how do you plan to comprehend the Secret of Time on that arrow?"

Chi Mutian raised the Divine Finger adorned with the ring, saying: "This ring can imprint a trace of the Secret of Time. I imprint a little each time and if I can’t comprehend it, I’ll imprint it again. Sustained repetitions will eventually lead to success!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Admittedly, this method is really a hassle.

But also it’s the only way.

Just now, merely a glance, Ye Chen was affected by the Secret of Time, finally experiencing its terror!

If someone had attacked during that moment.

Even if Ye Chen noticed, his reaction would have been slow, unable to react properly or make timely and effective defenses.

Likewise.

If one mastered the Secret of Time.

Reversing slaughter at high levels becomes easy.

Currently, Ye Chen is only at the Emperor Realm status, without mobilizing divine might, he can at most duel with top-level Great Emperors.

But if having a trace of the Secret of Time’s power, crushing top-level Great Emperors would be child’s play, and fighting against godly powerhouses is not impossible!

"Then go ahead." Ye Chen said.

Though Ye Chen also desires to grasp this power.

Nonetheless, this is Lao Chi’s goal.

Not fighting Lao Chi for it.

Lao Chi goes first, then Ye Chen goes!

After all, Lao Chi can’t take this opportunity away, it’s just for imprinting a trace of the Secret of Time.

Lao Chi’s figure flickered, immediately darting towards the arrow.

"Buzz!"

The ring on his Divine Finger emitted a brilliant light.

The light surged like tides towards the arrow.

The arrow lightly trembled.

An indescribable terrifying power exploded, dissolving the light released from Chi Mutian’s ring.

The light could never touch the arrow.

Chi Mutian suddenly roared.

The divine aura from the Divine Finger erupted, and the ring’s light became more dazzling.

Moments later.

Finally, the light touched the arrow.

Immediately after.

"Boom!"

The power within the arrow became even more violent, directly sending Chi Mutian flying.

Ye Chen immediately flew over to stabilize Chi Mutian’s figure.

"Wow!"

Chi Mutian spewed a large mouthful of blood, his body cracked, even that Divine Finger twisted like a pretzel.

Despite the weak aura, Chi Mutian’s face bore an excited smile, "Success, I finally imprinted a trace of the Secret of Time!"

Ye Chen: "Then wait here for me to try too."

Lao Chi: "Do you want me to lend you the ring?"

Ye Chen looked at Chi Mutian in amazement.

Knowing well Chi Mutian regarded that ring more important than life.

At this moment, Chi Mutian’s words validated Ye Chen’s trust in him was not misplaced.

Despite numerous schemes around this arrow, Chi Mutian himself had no issue.

Ye Chen faintly smiled, "No need."

Upon finishing speaking, his figure instantly flew towards that arrow!
