Chapter 784 – Decay Sword Intent! (2/2)
Suddenly, Ding Shaoyao said, “She’s only at the Exalt Realm….”
Yang Ye and the Sword Spirit’s eyes surged with shock when they heard this. They’d constantly overlooked a fact, and it was her realm of cultivation!
Since the very beginning, Nether Maiden had always been only at the Exalt Realm, but she was able to kill Half-Saints. Moreover, she could even fight Yang Ye equally after he’d attained the Monarch Realm!
The Sword Spirit said, “How strong is she?”
Yang Ye replied, “I’m probably unable to kill her even if I use the Sword Domain and my Decay Sword Intent!”
Just like An Nanjing, Nether Maiden was another existence in the younger generation who he wasn’t confident in his ability to defeat.
“What do you plan on doing now?” asked the Sword Spirit.
Yang Ye was about to speak when Ding Shaoyao suddenly said, “We can’t return to Profounder Continent for now. It should be safe with Elder Mu and Senior Lu guarding it. However, once the defiant profounders have finished killing the people in the Hallowed Grounds, then it’ll probably be time for them to attack Profounder Continent. Once that happens, Elder Mu and Senior Lu will definitely be unable to stop them.”
When she spoke up to this point, Ding Shaoyao paused for a moment before she continued, “Of course, the even more pressing issue is your lifespan. You don’t have much time to live. So, we have to find treasures that can increase your lifespan as soon as possible. That’s the true important matter at hand. Because if you do die, then Profounder Continent won’t have a chance at all!”
Yang Ye suddenly asked, “Sword Spirit, how many Sword Servants can you refine?”
She replied, “An infinite amount!”
Yang Ye said, “Amongst the 3 forces in this world, our side is the weakest because our Half-Saints are inferior in both quant.i.ty and quality. So, even if I’m able to increase my lifespan and return to the continent, it still wont help the situation that Profounder Continent is facing.”
Ding Shaoyao’s eyes lit up, “You intend to gather the corpses of Half-Saints here? That’s a very good idea. However, the experts of the Hallowed Grounds are hiding within the city, and the experts of the Hallowed Grounds outside the city aren’t a match for the defiant profounders. So, it isn’t very likely for you to be able to gather a huge number of corpses!”
“If there aren’t corpses, then I’ll make corpses!” Yang Ye’s voice carried a trace of ghastly killing intent.
“That’s a great idea!” The Sword Spirit said, “So long as we’re able to collect a huge number of corpses from Half-Saints, and especially if those corpses belong to the defiant profounders, then it would greatly increase our strength. However, you must be careful, and you absolutely can’t get caught by the high-grade Half-Saints amongst the defiant profounders. While your current strength can pose a threat to high-grade Half-Saints, it’s insufficient to kill them!”
Yang Ye nodded and said, “I know!”
“Your main objective still has to be locating treasures that increase your lifespan!” Ding Shaoyao reminded, “The Half-Saints of the oceanic clans, devil race, and demon race had once helped the Hallowed Grounds to fight our southern territory. At that time, it seemed to be because the Hallowed Grounds had given them Divine Spirit Fruits which could increase their lifespan. So, we can head to the Ancient City of Hallows.”
“The Ancient City of Hallows?” The Sword Spirit frowned, “Are you asking him to go give his life away!?”
Ding Shaoyao explained, “The most dangerous place is the safest place. I think that the Hallowed Grounds would never expect us to return there. Of course, you still have to be careful.”
Yang Ye nodded and said, “There’s no time to lose. Let’s go right now!”
“Wait!” The Sword Spirit suddenly said, “What’s wrong with that violet colored little fellow?”
“The little fellow?” Yang Ye was stunned, and then he looked into the Primordial PaG.o.da. At this moment, the little fellow was lying quietly in her room. Moreover, countless strands of violet energy were converging towards her from all directions. Moreover, she was even emanating an illusory violet glow!
“When did she start to advance?” Yang Ye was astounded.
The Sword Spirit shook her head and said, “It probably started very long ago. But the energy within her is very unstable, and it frequently emanated rays of violet light that explode in the surroundings. Moreover, those rays of violet light just happen to be very destructive!”
Yang Ye’s senses sunk deep into himself. Sure enough, it was exactly as the Sword Spirit said. Rays of violet light frequently flashed out from the little fellow’s body, and they flickered around incessantly while leaving black holes behind!
“What’s she doing?” said Yang Ye.
The Sword Spirit said, “She’s on the verge of breaking through. However, she seems to be unable to grasp it….”
Yang Ye asked, “Is she in danger?”
The Sword Spirit shook her head, “Probably not!”
Yang Ye was about to say something when a voice suddenly resounded from the horizon, “Eh! We missed a few? A Half-Saint and 2 ants. Haha!”
As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous palm that blotted out the sky flashed into existence and pressed down towards Yang Ye’s group.
“Try you Decay Sword Intent and let us see how strong it is!” said the Sword Spirit.
Yang Ye nodded, and then he flicked with his finger. A strand of pure sword intent shot off from the tip of his finger!
