Supreme Sword God

This was a man whose posture was as upright as a sword, with sharp facial contours and well-defined features.

”You look good, but still a bit inferior to me,” Ye Chen said.

The man’s silhouette remained silent for a long time before speaking, ”Young man, do you wish to attain the legacy of Aurora Sword Dao too?”

Ye Chen: ”The weather is nice today.”

The silhouette of the man was silent for a while again and then said, ”Young man, defeat me, and you may continue onward.”

At this moment, Ye Chen understood.

This was a specific power leaving behind a wisp of will.

His previous out-of-sync conversation met with absolute silence from the opponent, allowing him to conclude the Aurora Sword Emperor had truly fallen, rather than secretly hiding and plotting.

There’s no fear of a strong master, only fear of a cunning one.

Having encountered parasites, reincarnators, and hearing from the Celestial Cauldron Emperor about the perils of being possessed by God’s marks when using Divine Power frequently, he learned to be cautious about matters related to such formidable beings.

Otherwise, one could easily fall victim to such formidable foes at any moment.

”Defeating you isn’t hard,”

A barely noticeable curve appeared at Ye Chen’s mouth, and as the words fell, the sacred sword in his hand slashed diagonally from its scabbard.

The sword light swept out from the scabbard.

The silhouette of the man’s reaction was lightning-fast, instantly also slashing a sword, with sword light blindingly bright, piercing the eyes, even having the effect of blocking spiritual power perception.

However...

Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Celestial Eye was unafraid of this bright sword light.

The strength of Ye Chen’s spiritual power was such that this bright sword light couldn’t obscure his perception.

Ye Chen’s sword brushed closely past the sword thrust by the silhouette of the man.

What seemed to be a closely matched stalemate, suddenly turned as Ye Chen’s foot flashed gold, instantly executing Blink Swordsmanship to move to one side.

The thrust from the man’s silhouette missed its target.

Ye Chen flipped his wrist, sweeping sideways, slicing through the head of the man’s silhouette.

The silhouette’s severed head closed back up, refraining from further attack on Ye Chen. The sword in his hand dissipated, and he spoke to Ye Chen, ”Young man, congratulations on passing the first test. However, to obtain the legacy of the Aurora Sword Dao, this is only the beginning. Continue, and I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Next,

The man’s silhouette vanished, transforming into a stream of light, heading in a certain direction.

”Is this a test or guidance?”

Ye Chen mused to himself, immediately chased after the direction of the disappearing light.

Before long,

In front of Ye Chen appeared a line of statues.

Each statue exuded a powerful aura, with sea creatures, land-dwelling beasts, predominantly humanoid statues.

In front of these statues stood a stone tablet.

The tablet had several lines of writing on it.

The first line of writing read:

’Defeat the strongest opponent’

Starting from the second line were the rules of the test.

Ye Chen focused, read the details clearly, and once again surveyed the statues before him.

Each statue held the power left behind by the Aurora Sword Emperor, all modeled after powerful beings from the Aurora Emperor’s era.

This second test involved selecting a statue. The power sealed within the statue would activate, possessing the strength of a Quasi-Emperor to fight him. Passing the test meant triumphing over the statue.

Difficult!

Very difficult!

He could handle an ordinary Saint Realm, but defeating a Great Saint was impossible.

Let alone defeating a Quasi-Emperor.

No wonder the legacy left by the Aurora Sword Emperor hasn’t been obtained by anyone. The difficulty of just the second test had already escalated to hell-level.

Even though everyone’s experiences inside vary, others’ tests likely weren’t simple either.

Unbeknownst to him, at that moment within Aurora Island.

Bai Shize, with a grin, found Wan Dao Sect’s Li Chunfeng and said, ”Young Master Li, everything is set. I extracted Ye Chen’s aura from those two losers who fought him and sent it into our Aurora Island’s forbidden area, using his aura to provoke the Turtle Guardian.

Though we can’t interfere with what’s inside the forbidden area, the Turtle Guardian can.

The Turtle Guardian won’t personally punish Ye Chen, but it will certainly direct the hardest challenge at him.
