Supreme Sword God

Chapter 982: Chapter 981: Aura of Time, The Plot Unfolds

Fan Jun had no other choice.

If he didn’t kneel, he might really be beaten to death. From the looks of it, only Isle Master Bai Yi of Aurora Island could possibly stop this, but today’s setup was arranged by Bai Yi himself. Bai Yi wouldn’t step forward; if he did, the situation would only become more complicated.

"Dong dong dong!"

Fan Jun efficiently kowtowed three times, then got up and left with a face full of indignation.

The elder from Aurora Island stared at Ye Chen and said, "Young Master Ye, I won’t disturb your healing any longer."

With that, the elder also left.

Bai Kai looked at Ye Chen within the sword pool and said, "Actually, killing him works too."

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "The opponent hasn’t torn their face with us, so there’s no need for us to be the first to do so."

Currently, Bai Yi feared Ye Chen leaving.

Ye Chen also worried about provoking Bai Yi into a corner.

Therefore, both sides maintained a delicate balance.

Bai Yi didn’t want Ye Chen to heal within the sword pool, so he arranged obstacles and formally gave Ye Chen an opportunity.

Ye Chen handled Fan Jun, humiliated but did not kill, including sending words via the elder to Bai Yi as reassurance.

"Great Guardian, I’m starting."

Bai Kai: "Mm, I’ll guard here for you."

......

"Isle Master Bai, I don’t care what plans you have, I, Fan Jun, can’t swallow this anger!"

Fan Jun, finding Bai Yi, was furious, his intent to kill boiling.

Bai Yi smiled faintly and said, "Calm down a bit. Regarding this matter, I, Bai Yi, will definitely give you an explanation. At most two more days, the people from Celestial Child Divine Island will arrive."

Fan Jun’s eyes widened and he said, "This..."

Bai Yi: "Once the people from Celestial Child Divine Island arrive, Ye Chen will have no escape route. Even though this happens on our Aurora Island, it has nothing to do with us.

Thus, whether it’s the Celestial Blade Emperor indebted to Ye Chen for Enlightenment Tea or the Celestial Cauldron Emperor, if they wish to settle accounts, they can only look to Celestial Child Divine Island."

Fan Jun’s eyes flashed and he said, "Isle Master Bai, I heard that Celestial Child Divine Island’s kill order on Ye Chen offers imperial weapons and taboo-level inheritance as rewards."

Bai Yi smiled and said, "Rest assured, as long as you sincerely serve Aurora Island, Aurora Island won’t treat you poorly."

The gloom in Fan Jun’s heart seemed to instantly disappear.

Bai Yi looked at the elder before him and said, "Did Ye Chen truly speak of sentiment for Aurora Sword Dao?"

The elder nodded and said, "Judging by his manner, he seems still in control."

Bai Yi made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "Then let him have at it; don’t corner him recklessly. In short, handling Ye Chen’s affair must absolutely not be done by Aurora Island people."

......

Inside the sword pool.

Ye Chen took out his Lifebound Celestial Mark Sword.

The current Celestial Mark Sword had already reached the tier of Sacred Weapon.

Moreover, it belonged to the top-level tier of Sacred Weapons!

After all, what was devoured and fused this time was a fragment of a divine sword.

But the Celestial Mark Sword didn’t have the power of a top-level Sacred Weapon. The reason lay in the abundant aged decay Qi within the divine sword fragment.

On closer inspection, one could find that on the surface of the Celestial Mark Sword, a very subtle gray energy flow circulated, like a thin sword sheath, concealing the sharpness of the top-level Sacred Weapon!

The plan now was to use these Sword Qi edges from the sword pool to gradually obliterate the aged decay Qi, allowing the Celestial Mark Sword’s inherent brilliance to shine.

Master Legs had already informed of the method, and Ye Chen went over it in his mind before focusing all his attention, the sword essence surging into the Celestial Mark Sword, which slowly floated up suspended in front of his body.

Ye Chen’s hands quickly formed seals.

The edges released by hundreds of sacred swords within the sword pool gathered furiously towards the Celestial Mark Sword under his power’s guidance.

These edges, like whetstones, slowly obliterated the aged decay Qi.

During this process.

Ye Chen was surprised to discover that the aged decay Qi didn’t dissipate directly but floated around.

"This too is a kind of intangible energy... if I could absorb and utilize it..."

With that, Ye Chen became excited!

Time’s wear was the most ruthless.

Even a mighty Great Emperor couldn’t withstand time’s erosion.

This is the most mysterious force between heaven and earth!

At that moment, Ye Chen’s mind turned, directly releasing the Grotto Heaven nurtured with the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele.

Other methods could basically be judged ineffective, Ye Chen didn’t bother trying.

But the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele is different; the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele is a paramount treasure for suppressing great eras, possessing incredible abilities.

Of course, he entertained just trying.

If it doesn’t work, he’d have to give up!

Ye Chen fully controlled the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele; in his perception, strands of aged decay Qi actively headed towards the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele, merging into his Grotto Heaven.

It’s useful!

But Ye Chen hadn’t time to celebrate before an unexpected situation arose.

"Boom boom boom!"

His Grotto Heaven nurtured with the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele began to tremble violently, emitting rumbling sounds, feeling like it might explode.

Ye Chen immediately ended absorbing the aged decay Qi, fully controlled energy pouring into the Grotto Heaven to stabilize the turbulently fluctuating Grotto Heaven!

"It’s not that the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele can’t contain the aged decay Qi; rather, it’s that my Grotto Heaven can’t bear it, but... bit by bit, better than nothing!"

A worried Ye Chen didn’t intend to stop just like that.

Since he succeeded a little, he’d continue next.

Bit by bit, if completely unbearable, then stop.

Standing outside, Body Alliance Great Guardian Bai Kai, was full of confusion.

What was Ye Chen doing?

He summoned a sword, seemingly using Aurora Island’s sword pool to nurture it.

Yet he brought out a Grotto Heaven... it was gray inside, nothing perceivable, and it sometimes seemed like the Grotto Heaven was going to explode...

Is this what being a genius is?

Taking the path less traveled!

News quickly reached Bai Yi’s ears.

Bai Yi breathed a sigh of relief again after hearing it, saying, "It seems he really hasn’t sensed anything, yet at this critical juncture, he still wants to take advantage of our Aurora Island, using our sword pool for sword nurturing, foolishly ignorant."

Aurora Island elder said, "Island Master, just received word that the people from Celestial Child Divine Island are already nearby, but outside there are still people from the seventy-two islands, they can’t conveniently come in directly."

Bai Yi pondered briefly and said, "Inform Fan Jun to set up a formation, I will personally contend with Mei the Third Aunt’s crew, creating an opportunity for people from Celestial Child Divine Island to enter.

Once Celestial Child Divine Island’s people handle Ye Chen, then let them deal with the riffraff from the seventy-two islands too!"

Moments later.

Aurora Island’s grand formation trembled violently.

Isle Master Bai Yi, leading Aurora Island’s personnel, relied on the Aurora Array for the first face-off against the seventy-two islands’ Mei the Third Aunt, and the battle quickly entered an intense phase, growing quite brutal.

Beside the sword pool.

An elder from Aurora Island hurried over and said, "Young Master Ye, the island master says to let you heal at ease, Aurora Island can hold on for a while longer; once Young Master Ye’s injuries are completely healed, then Young Master Ye can control the Aurora Array and decisively crush the foreign enemies!"

Bai Kai was already in a state of extreme tension, having broken out in a layer of sweat. This scene now meant that Bai Yi was going to make a move.

Ye Chen within the sword pool said calmly, "Got it, I have three to five days, I’ll hurry."

Three to five days was merely an off-the-cuff remark.

The aged decay Qi within the Celestial Mark Sword could be completely obliterated in no more than half a day.

Then, the Lifebound Sword would nourish Ye Chen, allowing him to ascend to the Realm of Dharma.

His Martial Dao cultivation, trailing behind Flesh Dao and Spirit Dao, would finally catch up!
