Supreme Sword God

Chapter 992: Chapter 991: Clue to the Heart of the Sea King

Ye Chen gathered his strength again and charged at Bai Yi, who was extremely weakened.

"Boom!"

Each half of Bai Yi’s body erupted with a powerful blast of air, sending Ye Chen flying.

Ye Chen landed, without a scratch on him.

Now Bai Yi was no longer a threat!

"The power of time is eroding everything about you. If you suppress it with all your might, you might be able to delay it somewhat. If you keep fighting, you might die very soon," Ye Chen said calmly, as the initiative was now in his hands.

Bai Yi: "Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Why make things so tragic? You and I aren’t true mortal enemies, we can sit down and have a good talk. What do you think?"

Bai Yi was very cautious, saying, "Ye Chen, don’t play those little tricks here!"

Ye Chen said, "You have no choice. Answer my questions, and I’ll give you a way out. If you stay here, you’ll surely die. If you exit, although it’s still difficult, at least there’s a slim hope, isn’t it?"

Bai Yi: "What do you want to know?"

Ye Chen: "What’s the deal with that divine stone?"

Even though the divine stone was discovered by Mei the Third Aunt in an underwater ruin, she was schemed against and robbed by Bai Yi.

Bai Yi valued this piece of divine stone greatly; it’s impossible he knows nothing about it.

Just now, Ye Chen had discreetly probed the stone using the Martial Arts Celestial Eye but found nothing, so he had to talk to Bai Yi.

Bai Yi snorted coldly and said, "The underwater ruin where this divine stone was found was once the temporary palace of a Celestial-tier Divine Appraiser. That appraiser spent his life researching the secrets of life within divine stones. This divine stone, being his collection, must be extraordinary.

That’s all I know. As for what’s inside the stone, I have no clue.

You’ve schemed endlessly for this stone, and I’ve fallen into your hands. If you want the stone, take it. Then help me eliminate the time power afflicting me. I, Bai Yi, can swear never to trouble you again!"

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed as he asked, "Is there life in the divine stone?"

"I don’t know. I merely saw some records in books, without clear confirmation," Bai Yi snorted coldly.

Ye Chen: "Then talk about the fate smugglers. Besides me, whom else do you know?"

Actually.

Ye Chen didn’t even know what fate smugglers were all about.

But he couldn’t ask Bai Yi about fate smugglers directly... that would give him away.

"Fate smugglers live off reincarnation, parasitism, and defying destiny. The Celestial Burial Sea cannot contain such people. Even if there are some, each hides very deeply. So far, I’ve only encountered you!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Turns out fate smugglers are the collective term for reincarnators, parasites, and such.

Ye Chen continued asking, "Do you recognize the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele?"

Bai Yi: "I’ve answered a lot of questions for you. You must now help me resolve the time power afflicting me, or I won’t say another word!"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Alright!"

Then, he walked towards Bai Yi.

As he got closer, Ye Chen said, "Don’t resist, or no one will be able to save you!"

Next, Ye Chen once again utilized the mysterious breathing technique, activating the power of the True Meaning of the World-Suppressing Celestial Stele, with a serious and solemn expression, forming seals with one hand and striking Bai Yi’s two halves.

As the seal was struck, a holy sword suddenly flew out from Ye Chen’s Storage Ring, and Ye Chen gripped it tightly.

He swung the sword in a sweep.

"Swoosh!"

Bai Yi’s two half-body portions were sliced from the waist by the sword imbued with years of decay!

Having successfully ambushed, Ye Chen retreated swiftly.

"Aaaaah!"

Bai Yi’s body had already turned into four parts.

A shrill, angry shout echoed.

"You have no martial virtue!"

"Fool!" Ye Chen sneered, once again unleashing the power of the Soldier Character Secret, causing forty-two holy swords to dance, using the force of the Sword Array to strike Bai Yi’s four sections of flesh.

The previous conversation was nothing but an attempt to extract more unknown information about himself and to further aggravate Bai Yi’s erosion by the decaying aura, so he could chop him down!

Aside from the Sword Array, the True Meaning of Phoenix and the Great Sun True Intent exploded simultaneously, both powers merging into the Fourth-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal, Great Sun and Phoenix True Intents weaving around Ye Chen’s Invincible Sword Qi Aspect as he unleashed a slashing blow!

Bai Yi’s four sections of flesh shattered continuously.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen’s consumption was incredibly great.

In the Origin World, the ancient clan reserves were depleted; he could only use his own origin.

Moreover, he used all remaining Divine Blood and Divine Power to maintain the power output.

Even so, it still wasn’t enough.

Especially in terms of Spiritual Power, there’s no Divine Consciousness to replenish it!

"Ye Chen, if I die, you won’t be able to get out either. You’ll be trapped here for life..." Bai Yi was thoroughly frightened, his Spiritual Power voiced out with an intention of compromise.

Ye Chen did not bother with any of that.

Just chop him to death and then talk!

On the way here, he marked many layers of intertwined prohibitions, and Ye Chen was quite sure about leaving this island’s subterranean chamber.

Now it’s just a matter of who can endure longer!

Ye Chen gritted his teeth and diverted a strand of essence into the Origin World, utilizing the original truth to absorb the primitive heaven’s ancient clan origin.

However.

Up till now, absorbing the ancient clan origin had always been smooth, but this time, it failed.

In some way, he could sense the primitive heaven’s ancient clan origin but couldn’t absorb it, as if a strong force obstructed it.

At the crucial moment, it failed!

"Ye Chen, let me walk out, and I’ll tell you an absolutely valuable secret!" By now, Bai Yi’s soul was excessively weakened, and he shouted with all his might.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed, stopping his attack and retracting the Sword Array that hovered around him.

Though extremely tired, he didn’t show it, appearing vigorous and energetic.

"Speak; if I find it valuable, I’ll let you off!" Ye Chen shouted, his aura strong, unwavering!

Bai Yi’s struggling soul, with a weakened voice, said, "I have clues to the Heart of the Sea King; swear to let me leave, and I’ll tell you!"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, and the Sword Array whistled again.

Bai Yi’s remaining soul promptly shouted, "Ye Chen, my clue can clearly point to the exact location of the Heart of the Sea King!"

Ye Chen sneered and said, "Fine, speak, and I’ll let you go alive. If I break this oath, may I be doomed by heaven and earth!

Of course, you must also swear not to deceive, and from now on never leak this news again!"

What does it matter if he leaves here alive?

Outside, Aurora Island is still surrounded by the people of seventy-two islands, leaving him with no way out.

Bai Yi’s remaining soul finally calmed down and promptly swore, then said, "The Heart of the Sea King is very likely beneath the Celestial Dao Cage, suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao."

Ye Chen: "..."

His mother was also imprisoned in the Celestial Dao Cage...

Two matters, looks like they can be handled together!

Of course, it might not be true.

The vow Bai Yi made proved only that he did not lie; indeed, it was a clue left by the Aurora Sword Emperor, but even the Aurora Sword Emperor lacked the strength to investigate.

"You may go," Ye Chen said.

Bai Yi’s remaining soul immediately opened the passage to leave the chamber and bolted out.

"Rumble!"

In an instant, layers and layers of array prohibition were triggered.

"Hahaha, Ye Chen, you think you smartly and truly assumed I’d let you decide my fate? Stay here; once I recover my strength, I’ll come back to claim your life!"

After leaving these words, Bai Yi’s remaining soul rushed away through the passage.

A moment later.

With a thud.

Ye Chen sat down heavily.

Utterly exhausted!

If that fool Bai Yi hadn’t been clever, he’d have been in big trouble...
