895 Large Progress (1/2)
\”Life and death is only a cycle…This is something I already know. But how to find the common ground between and connect the two should be the key to entering Life and Death realm.\”
Upon comprehending Life Dao and Death Dao, Ye Chen now needed to connect the two together into a single entity.
By the lake, his left hand emitted Death Qi while the right hand emitted Life Qi spirals. When he brought the two hands closer, the two counteracted each other, creating ripples that could only be sensed extremely indistinctly.
\”These ripples are it!\”
After thousands of tries, Ye Chen eventually sensed these ripples. They had no life or death, but a combination of both.
Not far from the wooden hut, a huge wolf was crouched on the ground. Numerous eyes were growing on its head. Most of these eyes were closed, and the rest were only opened up to a crack. However, once its dark-green gaze leaked out of the cracks, its surroundings transformed in a bizarre and grotesque manner. The butterflies began flying upside-down, small plants grew into sky-reaching trees, and ants turned into fiendish beasts. Due to its gaze, reality and hallucinations combined together.
Compared to a few years ago, Dream Devouring Wolf had become much stronger. Its body was emitting a faint aura of life-and-death, and its red lustrous fur seemed to be giving off a slaughterous glow. Watching Ye Chen trying to verify life and death had greatly helped it.
\”Master is too frightening! Following him, I'm afraid that I can become a Beast King within ten years, or even sooner.\”
It was already a tenth grade demonic beast when Ye Chen subdued it. Subsequently, it had been hibernating after eating that Windfire Pill. Later, Ye Chen again gave it a top-notch supreme grade demonic power crystal. By relying on these two resources, it became a half-step Beast King without a hitch. Moreover, it had only consumed a tiny fraction of the crystal's demonic power. Nowadays, watching Ye Chen verify his Life Dao and Death Dao against each other, it also entered the first layer of Life and Death Realm, increasing its battle strength and dream creation ability by numerous folds. Even an ordinary King would be somewhat affected by its ability.
\”Ugh? Why are they not conforming?\” Dream Devouring Wolf slightly raised its head and astoundedly glanced at Ye Chen.
Slowly letting out a breath, Ye Chen said indifferently, \”Someone is approaching. It can be either a friend or an enemy.\”
Roar!
Hearing these words, the wolf stood up and growled. The fur on its body stood straight, vastly increasing its size and fierceness.
…
Under the heavens were innumerable secret arts. Some focused on defense, some on offense, and some were purely supplementary.
The Blood-robed guardians had been thoroughly brainwashed by the otherwordlings. Each and every single one of them was exceptionally loyal, and they all were bestowed an exceptional scouting technique called the Great Soul Searching Art. This art could restrict the soul power into an arc, allowing the range of soul scouting to be increased by a hundred folds. The range of soul scouting of an ordinary Sea of Soul realm expert was a hundred li. Thus, by using this art, it could reach ten thousand li. Of course, the soul power could only be spread in an arc, and thus, couldn't cover the entire area. However, it was still terrifying.
This art had one more frightening aspect: it could lock onto anything with life. Thus, one didn't need to explore every inch, allowing one to save a lot of soul power.
By relying on this art, a blood-robed guardian discovered Ye Chen from nine thousand li away.
\”Lord, the target has been discovered. He looks exactly like the portrait.\” The blood-red guardian, who seemed like a captain of a small squad, raised the little snail in his hands and spoke.
\”What, discovered? But, I'm too far away from there. Blood Blade King, you're the closest one…Hurry over there! Even if you can't win, keep him busy and buy me half an hour. By that time, he won't escape even if he grows wings.\” The masked man was delighted. Amongst every three red-robed guardians was a squad captain who had a position stone on their body. By relying on the position stone, the masked man could easily determine the distance between everybody and immediately send the closest one to deal with Ye Chen.
\”Rest assured, he will not escape. My blade longs for the blood of peerless geniuses.\” Blood Blade King was a blood-haired middle-aged man. He licked his lips and sinisterly grinned.
Puff!
The space cracked as Blood Blade King made his way toward the squad captain. A few moments later, he'd arrived at the target.
\”Where?\” Blood Blade King asked.
The squad captain pointed to his front and said, \”On that island. Not good! He is about to leave.\”
\”Leave? He can't!\”
The distance of nine thousand li held no significance to Blood Blade King. The space cracked, and he reappeared on the island, instantly chopping at Ye Chen, who was about to take off.
Rumble!
A blood-colored blade light shrouded the world, and the vibrant island was cut in two, flooded by the ocean.
\”He is a powerful mid step King!\” Evading the blade light, Ye Chen hovered in the air as he guessed the strength of his opponent. According to his judgement, the strength of Blood Blade King should be much higher than the consciousness projection of the masked man. If it were the previous him, he certainly didn't have a chance.
However, that might not be the case now!
Unsheathing the Sky Scorpio Sword, Ye Chen counterattacked. The sword was so fast that Blood Blade King only had the time to raise his blood blade and defend.
Clang!
A sound like a grand palace's clock tower ringing resounded, and Blood Blade King's entire being was blasted off. Blood splashed from his arm holding the blade, revealing mutilated flesh and deeply cut bones.
