Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1257: Chapter 1256: Well Guardian Elder—This One’s a Master!

Eastern Territory, Yan Province.

Ye Chen traveled along the upper reaches of the eight hundred miles Red River, heading straight upstream.

Throughout the journey, he released his spiritual power without reservation, thoroughly investigating everything around him.

It didn’t take long.

He arrived at the source of the Red River.

This is a lush mountain forest, filled with a primitive atmosphere. Streams of red converge from various locations in the forest.

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

There is an alien presence here.

Ye Chen, without choosing to hide, directly entered the mountain forest.

"Bold! You dare trespass on our Purple Crystal Race’s territory. Capture him! The Eldest Prince has ordered that anyone approaching this place will be interrogated personally!"

A Saint Realm from the Purple Crystal Race, leading a large number of subordinates, charged out to issue commands, aiming to capture Ye Chen alive.

Instantly.

Several Purple Crystal Race warriors rushed towards Ye Chen.

However.

Before they could get close.

No movement was seen from Ye Chen.

"Boom boom boom!"

Explosions sounded.

The warriors rushing towards Ye Chen turned into a mist of blood, floating in the air.

The leading Saint Realm of the Purple Crystal Race, with a serious expression, said, "Who are you?"

Ye Chen: "You are not qualified to know."

As the words fell.

The vast majestic power exploded between heaven and earth.

The surrounding Purple Crystal Race members, without exception, couldn’t even struggle and were crushed to extinction by Ye Chen’s power!

Thoughts in Ye Chen’s mind spun rapidly.

The Eldest Prince of the Purple Crystal Race is here.

He had even issued an order, capturing anyone who approached for personal interrogation.

Obviously.

The Purple Crystal Race might have discovered some secrets here.

Therefore.

Ye Chen’s aura suddenly erupted.

The fierce sharpness instantly enveloped the vast expanse of mountain forest.

Endless Sword Qi descended from the sky, like a torrential sword rain, mercilessly reaping the lives of the Purple Crystal Race members here.

"Boom!"

Deep within the mountain forest.

A grand hall collapsed with a crash.

A figure covered entirely in dense purple crystals shot out, fleeing in a panic!

Suddenly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Several strands of Sword Qi locked onto the aura of the figure, shooting fiercely, pinning the figure to the ground.

The Sword Qi remained condensed, its sharpness domineering.

Ye Chen’s figure flickered, appearing beside the pinned-down Purple Crystal Race man.

This is the Eldest Prince of the Purple Crystal Race.

"Who... Who are you..."

"Exterminator of alien races," Ye Chen said lightly.

Purple Crystal Race Eldest Prince: "You... How bold of you, you dare provoke us, you’re doomed..."

"Originally, I planned to have you confess slowly, but now I’ve changed my mind."

After saying so.

Ye Chen raised his hand and waved.

The Eldest Prince of the Purple Crystal Race’s physical body exploded, his soul captured by Ye Chen’s power. The power penetrated the Eldest Prince’s soul like peeling silk off a cocoon.

Moments later.

Ye Chen obtained the desired information.

With a wave of his arm.

The soul of the Eldest Prince of the Purple Crystal Race shattered completely.

The next moment.

Ye Chen’s figure vanished from the spot, arriving at a small inconspicuous hill in the mountain forest.

The small hill was like a low grave.

At the top, there was an ancient well.

The stones piled at the upper end of the well exuded an aura of the passing of time.

Extracting the memories of the Eldest Prince, Ye Chen became intensely interested in the ancient well.

Because.

The Purple Crystal Race discovered numerous mysterious texts within this ancient well.

Several Emperor Realm members of their race died inside the ancient well.

But this didn’t deter the Purple Crystal Race; instead, it intensified their interest in the ancient well, prompting the occupation of the site by numerous members!

Ye Chen leaped, entering the ancient well.

The ancient well was unfathomably deep.

Even his spiritual power couldn’t probe its depths.

Currently, Ye Chen had no intention of jumping directly down but floated in the well, taking out the swaddle that once belonged to Xinxin from his Storage Ring.

He compared the characters on the swaddle with those on the well’s stone walls.

Among these.

Some characters were identical.

Which means.

This must be of the same category of mysterious texts.

At this moment.

"Splash splash!"

Suddenly, sounds of water flow echoed from the bottom of the well.

Following this.

An overwhelming suction force erupted, attempting to pull Ye Chen to the bottom.

Ye Chen’s nine Intermediate Domain World powers surged.

His combat strength was stronger than most beginners among divine-level powerhouses, yet he still couldn’t resist the suction force, and his body was uncontrollably falling downward.

Although.

Ye Chen wanted to investigate.

But the ancient well was too bizarre.

Without certainty, he shouldn’t continue this way.

At least... He should control the situation, not be so passive!

Therefore.

Ye Chen operated the Celestial Stele Breathing Technique at full force, empowering himself with the power of three Divine Illusions, combining his own strength, trying to rid the well’s bizarre suction force.

However.

He only managed to stabilize his body from falling but couldn’t ascend.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth.

A complete World-Suppressing Celestial Stele illusion emerged.

"Boom boom boom!"

The bottom of the ancient well roared with colossal thunder.

Ye Chen’s body shot upward.

Just as he explosively emerged from the well.

A terrifying beam shot from the well towards the sky.

Space shattered.

A portion of the void followed suit into annihilation!

Ye Chen on the side.

Felt apprehensive.

On his trip to Yan Province, in just one day, he had encountered danger twice.

Once was the True God old schemer from the Knowledge and Action Temple, Juechen.

This is the second time.

If I hadn’t rushed out in time earlier, if that beam had impacted my body, even if Ye Chen unwaveringly believed himself to be a brave man, he had no assurance it would be safe.

Brave men face unreasonable things; if it’s not possible, then it’s just not possible.

This ancient well is an unreasonable existence, and the power within is excessively strong!

Ye Chen’s gaze once again turned to the bottom of the ancient well.

This time.

He only felt dizzy.

It seemed as if even his gaze would be swallowed.

At this moment.

"Thud thud thud!"

The sound of a wooden stick striking the ground echoed.

The terrifying suction force from the well instantly dissipated.

Ye Chen looked to one side.

Only to see an elderly man with a stooped back, casually carrying a wooden stick, walking toward him.

The old man’s hair was sparse and disheveled, his face covered in spots that appear on those nearing old age.

As for the old man’s aura...

He seemed like a thorough ordinary person!

Ye Chen’s heart tightened.

"This... is a master!"

The old man used the wooden stick as a cane, slowly walked to the side of the ancient well, then took out a crumpled yellow paper from his bosom and threw it into the well, then sat beside the well, leaning back against it, panting: "I’m old and useless, walking a few steps and I’m exhausted, sigh!"

Ye Chen: "May I know how to address you, senior?"

Old Man: "I’m just an old guardian of the well, no need for pleasantries with me."

Ye Chen: "..."

Old guardian is old guardian.

But can I be a bit less polite?

If I really am not polite, this old guardian will smash me with his wooden stick... Ye Chen estimates that both of my heads would explode!
