Chapter 411: Chapter 410 [Ten Thousand Sword Killing Aura, Nine Deaths Without Life]

Sword Elder could never have imagined that after Ye Tianchen’s eyes emitted two beams of golden light, he would suddenly arrive at the heart of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation like lightning. The key point was that this kid didn’t find the sword, the real Xuanyuan Sword, but instead, he let out a huge roar towards the sky, with his right fist clenched tightly, bursting forth a strong cluster of electric sparks, and ferociously punched towards the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation.

"Idiot!" Sword Elder shouted, but unfortunately, he was unable to stop Ye Tianchen, he could only watch helplessly as Ye Tianchen’s punch came crashing down.

Ye Tianchen did not seem to be looking for the true location of the Xuanyuan Sword, but instead directed his punch towards the Ten Thousand Sword Formation. This shocked Sword Elder greatly and was too much for him to accept. Had Ye Tianchen short-circuited? Suddenly making such a foolish move, was he seeking death? He knew very well that the Ten Thousand Sword Formation should not be touched lightly. He had made it very clear to him that there was only one chance, and he had to be sure the sword he found was the Xuanyuan Sword before he could attempt to withstand the onslaught of Ten Thousand Swords Qi; otherwise, just touching the formation lightly would trigger the relentless killing power of Ten Thousand Swords Qi, something beyond the average person’s ability to withstand; they would merely be waiting for death, and struggling would be futile.

Boom!

A loud crash resounded, the entire Different Space within the Xuanyuan Sword was shaking, and even Sword Elder felt unstable on his feet. Ye Tianchen’s punch was like striking the Earth’s Core, causing a tremendous disturbance; Sword Elder’s heart skipped a beat, knowing that Ye Tianchen had stirred up a huge disaster.

Bang!

Ten Thousand Sword Qi, boundless in its slaughter, surged skyward. At the moment Ye Tianchen’s punch came down, his whole body was swept up by the immense Sword Qi and thrown backward; blood splattered in the air. He clenched his teeth to endure the tremendous Slaughter Aura, secretly shocked; Sword Elder indeed had not deceived him. This assault of Ten Thousand Swords Qi was truly too powerful, not something Emperor-level experts could contend against, having a tendency to sweep through everything. He was almost powerless to resist and was thrown out just by being slightly touched by this Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Qi, suffering serious injuries, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.

Crash!

Before Ye Tianchen could gather his senses, an overwhelming Slaughter Aura surged out from the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, a sword formed from this Slaughter Aura instantly shattered the Void. Had it not been within the Different Space of the Xuanyuan Sword, it might have destroyed an entire realm. The sword formed from the Slaughter Aura headed straight for Ye Tianchen.

Faced with such immense Slaughter Aura that had even transformed into a sword, Ye Tianchen dared not be negligent. Stretching his hands forward, a flash of golden light, a solid Golden Divine Wall appeared in front of him, and he hastily flew backward; this Golden Divine Shield was the strongest Defensive Skill he could muster at the moment.

Unfortunately, even the formidable Golden Divine Shield, which could withstand attacks from beings a realm higher than Ye Tianchen, didn’t last a moment against this Slaughter Sword Qi and was instantly shattered.

"Earth’s Wall!"

"Water Net Superpower Skill!"

"Superpower Protection Shield!"

With successive shouts, Ye Tianchen exerted all his effort to employ every Defensive Skill he knew. Facing the slaughtering sword formed by the Ten Thousand Swords, Ye Tianchen was not foolish enough to meet it head-on; that would be seeking his own death. He only hoped that his defensive techniques could withstand the Slaughter Sword Qi for a moment, giving him a chance to escape.

However, Ye Tianchen’s powerful defensive techniques were powerless in front of the Slaughter Sword formed by the Ten Thousand Sword’s killing spirit, utterly crushed without presenting the slightest resistance. Surprised, yet not discouraged; if these defenses could easily block the Ten Thousand Sword’s killing spirit, then the previous six experts, including the peerless Late Stage Martial Saint, wouldn’t have died so easily either. The Xuanyuan Sword wouldn’t have fallen to him to tame, nor would it have evolved into a world capable of establishing its own rules.

"Sword Elder, get out... damn... has this old guy really slipped away that quickly?"

As Ye Tianchen continuously launched attacks, trying his best to fend off the Ten Thousand Swords’ killing spirit while worrying that Sword Elder might be in danger. Even though Sword Elder was just a Spiritual Mark now and couldn’t perish, the Ten Thousand Swords’ killing spirit had the power to erode all things, even Spiritual Marks weren’t safe from obliteration.

However, as Ye Tianchen turned around, not even having finished shouting, he noticed that the spot where Sword Elder had been sitting in meditation for five days and nights was already empty, the old man seeing the danger, had run off first, infuriating Ye Tianchen so much he couldn’t help but curse in Earth’s language, "This damn old stick, really makes me want to thrash him; he betrayed me at the crucial moment!"

However, Ye Tianchen no longer had the chance to curse Sword Elder for being unfair, as the Ten Thousand Sword Killing Aura was already pressing close, within less than ten meters. Ye Tianchen’s entire body’s clothes had already been torn apart, literally shredded by the Sword Qi. A single touch would turn him into ashes, it was truly terrifying. No wonder the six experts with higher cultivation than Ye Tianchen all died without a place for their corpses!

As the Ten Thousand Swords Killing Aura gathered and surged, Ye Tianchen also took a sharp inhalation. In an instant, he used all of his defensive skills, but none could withstand the onslaught even for a moment. He could only turn around and flee, instantly pushing his speed to the limit. In the blink of an eye, he reached the edge of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation. Yet, the relentless Killing Aura did not stop and arrived in another blink. Ye Tianchen glanced back, clenched his teeth, and with a dive, landed at the edge of the Sword Formation. He did not flee immediately but focused on a sword in front of him. This sword was right at the edge of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, right before Ye Tianchen sitting cross-legged. The moment he landed, he grabbed the sword with his right hand without any hesitation and roared!

"Arise!"

Bang!

It felt as if the stabilizer had been pulled out, causing a thunderous, earth-shaking noise. Ye Tianchen looked at the sword in his right hand and a trace of a smile appeared on his lips. However, his smile quickly stiffened because the murderous aura of ten thousand swords was approaching. His clothing was already long since torn to shreds by the Sword Qi, leaving his body completely bare. Fortunately, there was no one else here, at most just Sword Elder.

With no place to hide or escape, facing the Ten Thousand Sword Qi that could instantly shred even a Late Stage Martial Saint, Ye Tianchen had exerted his utmost effort and had taken a gamble. Now, he was on the edge of life and death. Of course, he wouldn’t just sit back and wait for his demise; waiting for death was never Ye Tianchen’s style. His heart had long been as firm as iron, determined to resist to the end.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The Taie Sword and the Fish Intestine Sword were unleashed together, creating two immensely powerful Sword Qi attacks, one known as the Power Sword and the other as the sword that killed kings and fathers, both incomparably domineering Divine Swords. Thus, as the two Sword Qi attacked, they carried an incredible force, cutting towards the Ten Thousand Sword Qi.

The massive energy collision exploded in mid-air, causing Ye Tianchen to frown. He hadn’t expected that neither the Taie Sword nor the Fish Intestine Sword—two of the ancient top ten Divine Swords—possessing world-destroying powers, when swung together towards the Ten Thousand Sword Qi, could do nothing but slow down its murderous advance.

Originally, Ye Tianchen had spent five days and nights sitting cross-legged in front of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, even asking about the issue with Sword Elder, whether the ancient top ten swords had ever formed a sword formation. While sitting in front of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, his internal Taie Sword and Fish Intestine Sword kept trembling continuously. This induction was centered in the middle of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, seemingly guiding him to the true Xuanyuan Sword located there. Perhaps many would think that since the Xuanyuan Sword was hidden within this formation, it was likely located at the very center, the safest part. Ye Tianchen, guided by the Taie and Fish Intestine Swords, should have believed even more.

However, he always felt something was amiss. The Xuanyuan Sword could autonomously evolve a world, possessing its own laws and even a different space within. If the sword was really that easy to find, wouldn’t a true master have subdued it instantly?

In the end, Ye Tianchen discovered something special about the sword right in front of him at the edge of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation. It wasn’t that it looked different from any other sword in form, but from its position, he could observe the entire formation. Thus, Ye Tianchen concluded that this sword in front of him was the Xuanyuan Sword. However, he did not immediately make a move but instead flew to the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation and struck it with a punch, triggering the entire formation and drawing the murderous pursuit of Ten Thousand Sword Qi, putting himself in mortal peril. This was to deceive the real Xuanyuan Sword, to pull it out when it was unguarded. Going directly would mean that the Xuanyuan Sword might escape, or he might be slain by the Holy Path Power, which would be ten times more terrifying than Ten Thousand Sword Qi’s slaughter.

It was a gamble. Ye Tianchen found the real Xuanyuan Sword and activated the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, hiding it from the Xuanyuan Sword. In that sudden moment, he pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword, but still, the Ten Thousand Sword Qi’s slaughter did not stop, and even the Taie Sword and Fish Intestine Sword’s strikes could only block it momentarily. Meanwhile, all the swords within the Ten Thousand Sword Formation were trembling nonstop, autonomously floating in mid-air, all pointing their slaughterous spearheads at Ye Tianchen.

It goes without saying, Ye Tianchen holding the Xuanyuan Sword was facing not only the slaughtering power of Ten Thousand Sword Qi but also the real ten thousand swords targeting him. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died of fright long ago. Ye Tianchen also took a sharp breath; this Xuanyuan Sword really didn’t want to be subdued!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Ten thousand swords broke through the air, with the slaughtering force of Ten Thousand Sword Qi in the lead. Ye Tianchen himself was severely injured and could no longer manipulate the Taie Sword and the Fish Intestine Sword. Now, with the right hand holding the Xuanyuan Sword, he could only watch helplessly, but he was still not resigned. He fiercely looked once more and stubbornly tried to swing the Xuanyuan Sword upwards!

Boom!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen felt an immense pulling force from behind. His whole body flew backwards, and at the same time, Sword Elder rushed toward the Ten Thousand Sword Qi, shouting to Ye Tianchen as he did: "Run fast... remember to help me find my wife and daughter, tell them, I regret everything, I love them very much!"(To be continued.
