Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 743 - 737: State of Selfless

Through layers of light, when Ye Xuan steadied himself, he seemed to have entered an alternate space.

This place was a fiery land of molten lava. Crimson flames erupted everywhere, the sky was a dark red, and from time to time, purple-red lightning danced across the vault of the sky, as if it were the end of the world.

"Is this the Martial God Tower?"

Ye Xuan was slightly astonished. He hadn’t expected the inside of the Martial God Tower to form its own space, an independent system.

"That’s strange. I clearly entered with Senior Sister Yin Meng and the others. How could I not see anyone else?"

Standing in the first level of the Martial God Tower, Ye Xuan released his soul power to probe his surroundings, but he couldn’t detect anyone’s presence.

"Could it be that the Martial God Tower contains other prohibitions that make it so that people on the same level can’t see each other?"

Ye Xuan landed, a clear understanding appearing in his eyes. He probably guessed right.

Without much thought, his figure moved, and he dashed out dozens of meters. In this level of the tower, the space was exceptionally stable; even with his current ability, he couldn’t tear through the space.

After several minutes, what appeared before Ye Xuan were numerous statues emitting an ancient aura. These statues were all humanoid, some held swords, some knives, and others were empty-handed, but without exception, even though they were only statues, the fluctuations of the aura they emitted were extremely strong.

As Ye Xuan passed by the first statue, there was a stone slab in front of it, inscribed with four large characters—Golden Sword Saint.

"This must be the so-called place of legacy."

Ye Xuan had already learned from Ling Hanye that the first layer of the Martial God Tower held many Martial Saint legacies from the ancient and middle ages, containing martial arts methods and cultivation experiences left by various great figures. If you were capable and could gain their recognition, you could qualify to receive their legacy.

Next to the statue, there was an introduction to the Golden Sword Saint. It wrote about his achievements; he had once fought against two opponents of the same rank and defeated them. His strength was extraordinary.

Ye Xuan only briefly paid attention before continuing forward. The Golden Sword Saint might be a formidable figure in the eyes of ordinary people, but to him, it wasn’t that impressive.

This was a matter of perspective. Ye Xuan himself was a monster, and only those who were also monsters could catch his eye. The Golden Sword Saint was indeed not bad, but it was still far from Ye Xuan’s standards.

The second statue was also an Ancient Sword Saint named Void Sword Saint, similar to the Golden Sword Saint.

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell upon these statues, rapidly moving past ten lines at a glance. The strength of these saints was good, but some did not meet his standards, while others simply did not match his style of martial arts.

In this process of searching, Ye Xuan was somewhat fatigued. If this continued, perhaps there would be no suitable statues for him on this first layer.

The first layer of the Martial God Tower was considered a welfare layer, as advancing in later levels required displaying strength, while the first layer only required spending points to pass smoothly.

Just as Ye Xuan was feeling a bit disappointed, he suddenly sensed a very sharp aura. Then, his pupils slightly contracted, and looking ahead, he saw a very majestic statue. Around the statue, the air automatically gathered into the shape of swords, shooting in all directions.

That sharp aura had come from this location.

"Such an imposing Sword Intent."

Ye Xuan was somewhat astonished; this statue, situated in this area, had a bit of a feeling of standing at the top above all others, making other statues seem much weaker by comparison.

Arriving in front of this statue, Ye Xuan looked down, and four prominent characters caught his eye, "Unrivaled Sword Saint"!

Just these four characters alone exuded a tingling sensation in one’s scalp.

Following this name was an introduction unlike any other, containing only a single sentence that looked very brief.

"Swordsmanship unparalleled, alone above all under heaven; no predecessor, and no successor."

This mere sixteen-character phrase contained an astonishing aura of dominance.

"What a saying, ’no predecessor, and no successor.’ This Unrivaled Sword Saint is indeed very interesting."

Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly brightened. If other figures failed to arouse his spirit, then this Unrivaled Sword Saint, without any doubt, stood out from the crowd and was very much to his taste.

"Since I’m here, why not give it a try and see whether this Unrivaled Sword Saint truly possesses the skills or is merely hyped by later generations."

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in front of the stone statue of the Unrivaled Sword Saint and, like an old monk entering meditation, closed his eyes; however, he infused a strand of his soul power into the stone statue of the Unrivaled Sword Saint.

In the next moment, the environment around Ye Xuan drastically changed, winds roared, and darkness engulfed the heavens and the earth.

He found himself in an uninhabited desert that stretched as far as he could see; its endless bounds hidden by the swirling golden sands that carried the vibrations of ancient times.

Swoosh!

A disturbance in the space occurred, and appearing before Ye Xuan was a middle-aged man with a cold demeanor. He wore a gold crown on his head, dressed in a purple battle robe that hugged his body, gold wrist guards adorned his wrists, and he wielded two swords at his waist, one slightly broader and the other slightly longer, one gold and one silver, both surrounded by a faint aura of lethality.

"So, you are the Unrivaled Sword Saint!"

Ye Xuan felt as though what he saw was not a person, but a sword, to be precise, a pair of swords, because the Unrivaled Sword Saint himself had merged with his swords, indistinguishable from one another, sensing the aura of the swords was equivalent to sensing his presence, as if they were one.

"State of Selfless."

Ye Xuan slowly uttered these four words, softly stating them.

Above the realm of Human Sword Unity was the State of Selfless, only when Human Sword Unity reached the stage of Great Perfection could one enter the legendary Selfless Realm, the ultimate realm of the Sword Dao. Ordinary swordsmen had only heard of it, never witnessing anyone achieving this realm.

"You actually know about the State of Selfless?"

As the words of Ye Xuan fell, a trace of astonishment also appeared in the eyes of the Unrivaled Sword Saint. Ye Xuan was so young, yet he had such a profound understanding of the realms of swordsmanship.

"With the sword, there is no self; with the self, there is no sword. This is the supreme state of the Sword Dao. Unrivaled Sword Saint, you claim your Sword Dao had no predecessor and shall have no successor, I believe now, I am that successor."

Ye Xuan spoke with a faint smile.

"Ambitious. But ambition alone is not enough; you must also show strength that matches it."

The face of the Unrivaled Sword Saint showed no emotion, and without any superfluous words, he slowly drew the treasured swords from his waist.

Unrivaled Sword!

From the blades of the two swords, three dazzlingly bright characters flared up, very eye-catching.

However, as the sword light shone, the space around also transformed dramatically, the sky and earth lost their light, and Ye Xuan’s pupils involuntarily contracted, the opponent had already made a move!
