The ancient battlefield, one of the four major arenas, is littered with corpses and scattered with broken weapons such as axes, swords, and halberds. The air is filled with the desolate and ancient atmosphere, giving people a sense of the weight of history.
There is no spatial turbulence here, but various powerful killing intents roam the battlefield, which can bring profound insights to the trial participants, and can also kill people silently.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the Dao platform, comprehending the various sword intents of the ancient battlefield: the sword intent of Nirvana, the sword intent of Heavenly Palace, the sword intent of Pure Jun... one after another, he used the sword intents left by these ancient sword cultivators to verify and perfect his own sword path.
brush!
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and instantly a terrifying sword intent filled with destructive and murderous aura emanated from his eyes, forming a dense array of sword energy blades that almost shattered the barrier light pillar that enveloped the Dao Platform.
His Asura Sword Intent has reached its peak!
Back when the five-year agreement was made, his sword intent had only reached the half-step realm, not even the minor achievement. Now, only a year has passed, and his sword intent has already reached the major achievement realm. Who can match such progress?
Ye Chen couldn't help but grin with pride. With the support of the Great Perfection Sword Intent, combined with the mid-level Heaven-rank spirit skill Asura Sword Technique that he learned in the first trial, and the amplification from the Blood Demon Scripture which he had already cultivated to the high-level Heaven-rank, his maximum combat strength could at least reach the seventh level of the Spirit Sect.
If one's cultivation breaks through to the third level of the Spirit Sect, then even if one is an eighth or ninth level Spirit Sect opponent, one may still be able to defeat them.
"Next match: Ye Chen vs. Fei Wei."
Hearing Elder Ta's voice, Ye Chen stood up with renewed fighting spirit. As long as his opponent wasn't a high-level Spirit Master or a prince from one of the major holy lands, he was confident he had a 100% chance of winning!
Together with Fei Wei, they arrived at the ancient battlefield, whereupon a highly anticipated fierce battle ensued.
Ye Chen was quite lucky. Although his opponent Fei Wei was at the sixth level of the Spirit Sect, his combat strength was only at the peak of the sixth level of the Spirit Sect. Under the suppression of Ye Chen's perfected Asura Sword Intent, Fei Wei quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and showed signs of defeat.
Finally, as Ye Chen unleashed the third move of the Asura Sword Technique, Fei Wei could no longer withstand the onslaught and was defeated, covered in sword wounds.
"To have mastered the ultimate sword intent at such a young age, truly a formidable young talent..."
Fei Wei sighed and left the ancient battlefield, dragging his battered body.
"Ye Chen has actually mastered the sword intent?!"
"When I was at the ninth level of the Spirit Sect, my sword intent had only reached the great perfection. Yet he mastered it at the second level of the Spirit Sect. The talent of the Divine Sun Body is truly terrifying."
"Right now, only Chi Yuan's talent can surpass Ye Chen's."
"Chi Yuan? Hmph, how can someone who has possessed another's body be judged by their talent?"
"That's right. To master a Saint-level spiritual technique at his cultivation level, one must possess comprehension and spirituality far exceeding their cultivation level. If he hadn't been possessed by a top-tier expert, how could his comprehension and spirituality be so high?"
...
Amidst the discussions inside and outside the tower, Ye Chen was teleported back to the Dao Platform. He then immediately began to comprehend the incomplete sword Dao laws within the ancient battlefield space.
Battlefield outside the region.
Chi Yuan's eyes flashed with a grayish-white light, and the world before him seemed to fade, turning into a lifeless grayish-white color. The entire extraterrestrial battlefield also became three-dimensional and transparent in his eyes, like a three-dimensional stereoscopic picture.
In his vision, countless spatial lines are arranged in a dense yet orderly manner, forming a stable space. These lines seem untouchable, but when he exerts his spatial power, he finds that the spatial lines become flexible and even fragile. With a gentle tear, he can rip apart a spatial line and break open the space.
Furthermore, he can manipulate spatial forces to reinforce the spatial lines of a certain area, making it unbreakable. In addition, he can also swap the spaces of two areas to achieve the effect of spatial transformation.
In the realm of space, this is referred to as spatial confinement and spatial teleportation.
"So this is the law of space."
A sudden realization dawned on Chi Yuan: being able to manipulate and destroy the spatial lines that make up space meant that he had mastered the laws of space.
Although Chi Yuan has only just begun to grasp the basics and his control over the destructive range is very small, at the Spirit Sect level, his mastery of the spatial laws can already be described as a dimensional reduction attack!
Several hours later.
After nearly a hundred matches, the first round of arena battles has finally come to an end.
In this round, since the majority of participants were mid-to-low-level Spirit Masters, as many as seventeen people died on the arena, including two seventh-level Spirit Masters. Both died from severe injuries sustained during the battle, which led to their deaths in the arena.
Of those who passed the test, apart from the two high-level Spirit Masters who died, all the others with combat power above the high-level Spirit Master level successfully advanced to the next round.
Wow!
The space before him shifted, and in the next moment, Chi Yuan arrived at another arena—the Thunder Battlefield—from the outer battlefield.
As its name suggests, the Thunder Battlefield was entirely covered by a massive thundercloud, with lightning raging across it and the laws of thunder spreading everywhere. Its scale was comparable to the scene when An Yuxi was undergoing the Spirit Venerable Tribulation.
Of course, the power of the heavenly lightning here is not comparable to the tribulation lightning of An Yuxi's Spirit Venerable Tribulation, but it is still enough to pose a fatal threat to low- to mid-level Spirit Masters.
"The Law of Thunder?"
Chi Yuan's eyes gleamed. Ever since he witnessed the power of the tribulation lightning that An Yuxi had mastered, he had been envious of the Dao of Lightning. Now he had the opportunity to comprehend it.
With a thought, Chi Yuan immediately released his divine soul power to comprehend the thunder laws of the Thunder Battlefield.
Another hour passed.
After everyone had recovered, the second round of battle began.
This round was significantly more difficult, and the weaker participants were unsurprisingly eliminated. Many high-level Spirit Masters also lost due to encountering strong opponents. For example, Rong Qingyan eliminated an eighth-level Spirit Master elder from the Yingyue Sect.
Although the Holy Land's prodigies like Chi Yue were not at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation, each of them was a powerful individual capable of fighting several levels above them, and in the end, they passed the test without any major incidents.
Ye Chen faced an opponent with the combat power of a fifth-level Spirit Sect Master in this round, so his advancement was a foregone conclusion.
As for Chi Yuan, he also advanced to the third round without any pressure.
It is worth mentioning that, after comprehending the laws of thunder, he has already grasped the intermediate level of the thunder intent. In this round, he defeated his opponent using the Void Reflecting Moon Sword Technique with the blessing of the thunder intent.
