Supreme Sword God

Chapter 990: Chapter 989: Special Divine Stone

Ye Chen suddenly struck, killing Fan Jun with a single sword, leaving everyone present stunned momentarily before angry voices rose up, accusing Ye Chen.

At the same time, they were extremely shocked by Ye Chen’s strength.

Fan Jun, after all, was a Celestial Seal Spirit Master of the Great Saint level, even though he was heavily injured and ambushed, Ye Chen easily killed Fan Jun, which was quite extraordinary.

Bai Yi’s face turned ashen.

Fan Jun was their hope for escape!

Taking advantage of everyone being caught off guard, Ye Chen quickly took Fan Jun’s storage ring and said, "Isle Master Bai, I captured the content of the transmission Fan Jun sent you."

Bai Yi: "..."

Ye Chen continued, "Fan Jun had a way to take you away, and I also have a way. The divine stone belongs to me, and I will take you away immediately. Of course, you can also choose to let me continue to help control the Aurora Array for three days and then give me the divine stone afterward.

If Isle Master Bai wants a fight to the death, you can give it a try."

Standing beside Ye Chen all along, Bai Kai unleashed his power. He was not injured and maintained his peak strength.

Bai Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I will take you to see the divine stone. Once we see the stone, you take us off Aurora Island. When it’s confirmed safe, I will definitely give you the stone!"

He had previously intended to plot against Ye Chen, thinking Ye Chen was easy to deceive.

But now he realized how terribly wrong he was; Ye Chen was very shrewd, and now he was completely being led by the nose by Ye Chen!

"Isle Master Bai indeed is a smart person, then lead the way." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Although Bai Kai had concerns about Ye Chen, he had no solution.

Ye Chen had his own strong opinions.

Everything that happened during this visit to Aurora Island was almost entirely handled by Ye Chen.

Bai Kai felt he was just a fighter.

There’s no need for him to worry about the strategizing.

Bai Yi led Ye Chen on the way to see the divine stone.

Ye Chen: "Isle Master Bai, your head is severely cracked, why not heal it?"

Bai Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Mind your own business!"

Ye Chen replied with a hum, "Isle Master Bai, the large hole in your abdomen was probably punched by someone, wasn’t it?"

Bai Yi: "It’s none of your business!"

Ye Chen chuckled and said, "When I first met Isle Master Bai, I felt you were gentle and refined, but now... it’s hard to describe."

Bai Yi’s chest heaved with anger, and blood burst from his wounds constantly.

Ye Chen roughly estimated in his mind.

Bai Yi was indeed seriously injured, not faking it.

The words just now were meant to provoke Bai Yi, causing his energy to become unstable, enabling Ye Chen to use the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to observe.

One must be cautious, as who knows if he was pretending to be injured.

Even though Bai Yi’s injuries were confirmed to be severe, Ye Chen did not let his guard down in the slightest.

After all, this was an Emperor Realm level existence!

The reason for taking such a risk was still considering the divine stone.

One of the same kind understands the same kind the best.

In essence, Bai Yi is very insidious.

Ye Chen put himself in Bai Yi’s shoes; if he were to hide something, he would certainly have a lot of backups.

If he just let the people from the seventy-two islands rush in, even if Bai Yi was killed, it was highly probable that the divine stone found in the seabed ruins would never be recovered.

So, best to find a clue first!

A moment later.

Bai Yi led Ye Chen to a hidden chamber, and inside the chamber, he activated a mechanism to open a passage leading to the underground of Aurora Island.

Within the passage, there were still layers of nested mechanisms.

Following the path all the way downward.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

Bai Yi, this insidious villain, really outdid himself by layering so many mechanisms together, chaotic and complicated, that even an Emperor Spirit Master would find it a headache. A slight mistake could trigger endless chain explosions of these mechanisms.

Ye Chen: "Isle Master Bai, such a great method. If I’m not mistaken, once these mechanisms are triggered, the entire Aurora Island might be obliterated."

"Exactly!" Bai Yi’s voice held a trace of pride as he spoke, "Each generation of Island Master of Aurora Island lays down one hundred and eight layers of mechanisms here; passed down from generation to generation, the mechanisms here are so strong that they can withstand a Great Emperor.

If one enters without the precise method, breaking in with brute force, even if successful, everything here would be destroyed, and that piece of divine stone would turn to ashes too."

The divine stone is not particularly hard; a powerful external impact can indeed destroy the divine stone.

But opening a divine stone is not something just anyone can do. Besides needing an immense amount of energy, one must also follow the stone’s texture for cutting while attuning to the energy fluctuations within the stone during the process. The countless changes that occur demand immense experience to navigate various sudden changes skillfully.

Back in the Sword Tomb, Master Legs had helped Ye Chen open a divine stone, and the only reason it succeeded was that the stone back then was a simple type and not too large.

Listening to Bai Yi’s proud remarks, Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Unfortunately, Aurora Island is still heading toward a dead end now."

Bai Yi: "..."

"Isle Master Bai, let me ask you something."

Bai Yi remained silent, not speaking.

Ye Chen didn’t mind, saying, "The divine stone that Mei the Third Aunt discovered on the Seventy-two Islands must have some other secret, right? Otherwise, Isle Master Bai wouldn’t take such a risk to offend the Seventy-two Islands and even hide the stone in this most crucial area of your Aurora Island."

Bai Yi: "I know nothing!"

Ye Chen smiled and asked, "Haven’t we arrived yet?"

Bai Yi: "Can you shut up?"

The next moment, a spirit communication reached Bai Yi’s ear.

"Isle Master Bai, you’re bleeding continuously; you won’t die, will you?"

Bai Yi: "..."

Ye Chen continued with spiritual communication, "Even if one is not of the Flesh Dao, a powerhouse of the Emperor Realm has frighteningly abundant Qi Blood. Isle Master Bai, you’re bleeding so much, yet still as robust as a calf."

Bai Yi snorted coldly and sped up his pace.

Ye Chen followed behind, continuously integrating traces of subtle spiritual power into the regions they passed through.

Pretending to provoke Bai Yi to divert his attention.

Bai Yi was already severely injured, and Ye Chen’s spiritual power was no ordinary matter. After this walk, even if he didn’t initially have Bai Yi as a guide, with some time, he should also be able to break through!

A moment later.

The two finally reached the end of the passage.

A finely crafted chamber unfolded before Ye Chen’s eyes.

Inside the chamber, there were a large number of elixirs and treasures, as well as top-grade primordial stones for cultivation.

"Aurora Island is indeed wealthy," Ye Chen marveled, thinking he would need multiple storage rings to pack everything!

Bai Yi: "Hmph, that’s only natural!"

Ye Chen sighed, saying, "It’s just a pity that Aurora Island is declining from generation to generation."

Bai Yi once again felt insulted.

Ye Chen’s gaze surveyed the chamber and then fixed on a side, a green-brown stone.

The stone was oval, as tall as a person, resembling an egg!

"Isle Master Bai, is that the divine stone?" Ye Chen’s eyes flashed as he planned to approach.

Bai Yi snorted coldly, his figure flashed, blocking Ye Chen and said, "Don’t forget our deal. Before ensuring my safety, you can’t touch that divine stone!"

Ye Chen nodded, saying, "I, Ye Chen, keep my word. Isle Master Bai, let’s head out then."

Bai Yi snorted coldly, then opened the passage mechanism again, "You go first!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Does Isle Master Bai think I would take a step ahead of you and steal the divine stone? Aren’t you being a bit narrow-minded, lacking in vision and magnanimity."

To be honest, he did have such thoughts.

But having been seen through... he could only use another method.

Ye Chen no longer paid attention to Bai Yi, whose face was angry, remaining calm and turned into the passage, prepared to leave.

Bai Yi followed closely afterward.

The next moment.

Ye Chen suddenly turned, and with the Celestial Mark Sword, he struck forcefully!

No more hesitation.

A severely wounded and dying Emperor Realm... strike him down!
