Supreme Sword God

Chapter 983: Chapter 982: Arrival, Lifebound Sword Advancement

The elder of Aurora Island looked at Bai Kai and said, "Bai Kai, although you have no feelings for Aurora Island, the blood flowing in your veins is still that of the Bai Family. Now that Aurora Island is in trouble, the Island Master hopes you can lend a hand."

Bai Kai said coldly, "Just this once."

The elder immediately cupped his fists and said, "On behalf of the Island Master and everyone on Aurora Island, I thank you!"

A moment later.

Bai Kai left together with the elder.

In the entire Sword Pool area, only Ye Chen was left.

Ye Chen’s mind was calm as he continued to use the edge of the Sword Pool to nourish his Lifebound Celestial Mark Sword, wiping away the decayed aura of time from the blade, while at the same time using the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele to absorb that decayed aura.

...

Half a day passed.

On the surface of the grand formation of Aurora Island, ripples began to spread.

The elder of Aurora Island who had been in contact with Ye Chen earlier, as well as Tier Ten High-level Celestial Seal Spirit Master Fan Jun, brought two people through the light screen.

These two were one old and one young.

The older one had a trace of viciousness between his brows, and his body radiated a strong killing intent.

The younger one, however, was imposing and handsome, his expression carrying arrogance, his bearing extraordinary.

The elder of Aurora Island said, "Young Master Ming, we have already sent Body Alliance Great Guardian Bai Kai away. Now Ye Chen is staying in our Aurora Island’s Sword Pool, like a turtle in a jar."

Fan Jun sneered and said, "The grand formation I set up earlier using the Sword Pool as the foundation is still there. Back then, Ye Chen forced his way in, but that was only because Bai Kai was at the side and I wasn’t convenient to trigger the formation’s attacks.

In a while, I can secretly activate the formation’s offensive power, which will be enough to suppress Ye Chen so he can’t move. Young Master Ming can deal with him however you like!"

The proud young man addressed as Young Master Ming curled his lips in a scornful smile and said, "Ye Chen is insanely bold, he actually dared to harbor killing intent toward my cousin. If our Celestial Child Divine Island hadn’t been harassed by bandits from the Seventy-Two Islands lately, Ye Chen would’ve already been dead beyond dead."

This person was named Ming Yue, and the Emperor Spirit Master Mingyao of Celestial Child Divine Island was his aunt.

Putting that identity aside, Ming Yue’s own talent was also astonishing.

Not only had he learned the Martial Dao methods of the Celestial Child Emperor, he had also learned the Spirit Dao arts of Mingyao Imperial Spirit Master.

In the Celestial Burial Sea, among the ranks of top-tier prodigies, Ming Yue had already secured a place.

The vicious-looking elder beside Ming Yue said in a low voice, "Young Master, this Ye Chen is treacherous and crafty. Even Xue Dingchuan of the Ten Thousand Islands Sect suffered greatly in his hands. You mustn’t underestimate him."

Ming Yue still wore a careless, coldly arrogant expression as he said, "If we let him keep growing, he would indeed become a big problem. But as he is now, he’s still far from having the ability to escape from my hands.

In a while, I will personally go over. No matter what happens, none of you are allowed to interfere."

Celestial Child Divine Island mobilized on a grand scale because of Ye Chen. Everyone thought it was because Ye Chen almost cut down the daughter of the Celestial Child Emperor. In truth... there was an even deeper reason.

This touched upon a top-secret matter of Celestial Child Divine Island!

The elder of Aurora Island and Fan Jun both hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In this matter of dealing with Ye Chen, Aurora Island had never planned to show their faces. They were merely providing an opportunity for Celestial Child Divine Island.

What’s more, Ming Yue of Celestial Child Divine Island was an extremely forceful person with very high status; they didn’t dare go against him!

A moment later.

Ming Yue and the elder from Celestial Child Divine Island arrived near Aurora Island’s Sword Pool.

"Young Master, I’ll keep watch here to prevent anyone from approaching. Be careful," the elder said, immediately going on alert. His Spiritual Power swept out, and Emperor Realm pressure spread.

Ming Yue nodded and said, "Don’t worry. Once I make a move, Ye Chen will absolutely not have even the slightest chance."

As his words fell, Ming Yue’s figure immediately flew toward the Sword Pool.

Inside the Sword Pool, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Finally here!

Ming Yue flew over in a flash, his body floating high in the air as he looked down on Ye Chen below and said, "I’ve let you live quite a while longer. Today, you can die."

Ye Chen rose from his cross-legged meditation and said faintly, "I thought Bai Yi’s backup would be very strong. I didn’t expect you’re not even in the Emperor Realm. To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed."

Ming Yue said, "To deal with you, why would we need an Emperor Realm expert to act? You think far too highly of yourself. With me, Ming Yue, alone, it’s enough to make sure you’ll never turn the tables again."

Ye Chen’s expression was indifferent. "Ming Yue? What an ugly name."

Ming Yue: ???

We’re talking about life and death here, who’s discussing whether a name sounds good with you?

Ye Chen said, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re from Celestial Child Divine Island, right? Last time, that Little Demoness’s mother I chopped to death seemed to be called Mingyao."

This surname was rare.

Add in the fact that the other party could become Bai Yi’s trump card in his scheme, their identity and background had to be astonishing.

Moreover, Bai Yi notifying people from Celestial Child Divine Island to come also fit Bai Yi’s interests. After all, his own life, in the eyes of Celestial Child Divine Island, was equivalent to a forbidden legacy, an Imperial Weapon.

Putting it all together, Ye Chen had guessed Ming Yue’s background.

Ming Yue didn’t hide it either and said, "You’re somewhat clever. Unfortunately, it’s only petty cleverness, useless in the end. With me personally taking action to capture you, your fate is already sealed."

Ye Chen sneered. "Before we start, why don’t you let me ask one more question?"

"Considering you’re about to die, I can consider answering you once."

"The kill-on-sight order Celestial Child Divine Island issued on me shouldn’t just be because I chopped that Little Demoness, right? What’s the real reason?" Ye Chen asked.

From the moment he learned Celestial Child Divine Island had placed a kill-on-sight order on him, Ye Chen felt something was off.

A forbidden legacy, an Imperial Weapon—no matter how wealthy and powerful Celestial Child Divine Island was, they wouldn’t play things so casually.

A cold light flashed in Ming Yue’s eyes as he said, "There is indeed another reason. But as for what it is, you’ll never know, not even in death."

Ye Chen sneered. "Saint Realm Sixth Layer cultivation. If I’m not mistaken, you should also be a Tier Ten mid-level Extreme Celestial Seal Spirit Master."

During their conversation just now, he’d taken the chance to observe with his Martial Arts Celestial Eye and formed a preliminary judgment of Ming Yue’s strength.

Ming Yue showed a look of surprise and said, "They all say you possess impressive Pupil Technique Divine Techniques. Looks like the rumors are true. Since you know my strength, you should be very clear that any struggle you make next will be futile. If you surrender now, I’ll give you a quick death."

Ye Chen shook his head. "I just wanted to say, with that bit of strength, you’re really pathetic."

Anger surfaced on Ming Yue’s face as he shouted, "I, Ming Yue, have逆伐* high realms and can slaughter Great Saints. With your measly cultivation you dare look down on my strength? Your ignorance has enraged me. You’ll suffer endless pain for your stupidity!"

"So you can slaughter Great Saints, what of it? That Xue Dingchuan who calls himself invincible below the Emperor Realm still had to crawl when he faced me, kneel when he had to kneel!" Ye Chen snapped coldly.

If Ming Yue had arrived half a day earlier, he really might not have been able to take him.

But now...

Chop him to death!

At this moment, the Celestial Mark Sword that had been floating before Ye Chen suddenly began to tremble violently. A clanging sword cry resounded as an extreme edge burst forth, the might of a Top-level Sacred Weapon on full display.

Ye Chen stretched out his right hand and gripped the Celestial Mark Sword tightly.

A sense of intimacy rose naturally in his heart.

His Lifebound Sword was already a part of his body.

In this instant, Ye Chen felt as if his life and power were being continued within the Celestial Mark Sword.

Ming Yue’s expression changed drastically, his voice deep. "You were stalling for time just now!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly. "Too bad you realized it too late."

When Ming Yue appeared, the decayed aura of time within the Celestial Mark Sword hadn’t completely been wiped away yet, so Ye Chen had never made a move.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so much pointless chatter—he would’ve chopped him already and been done with it!
