Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that after using his immense physical body power and the force of the Overlord Fist to forcefully advance step by step to stand before the Zhanlu Sword, when he grasped the Zhanlu Sword with one hand, he thought he had succeeded. However, he didn’t foresee that the Zhanlu Sword had set a trap for him, shrouding him in a beam of sword light that was hard to break. Every time he attempted to touch this sword light, sword Qi would attack him, meaning that breaking the light also drew danger towards himself!

"I didn’t expect you to possess such spirituality. I guess I fell into your trap!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to the Zhanlu Sword.

Buzz!

The Zhanlu Sword trembled slightly, as if it had heard Ye Tianchen’s words, feeling a bit proud. It must be said that this was a very spiritual sword, the most spiritual among the ten mythical swords Ye Tianchen had encountered. The previously obtained Taie Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, Xuanyuan Sword, and Cheng Ying Sword, although having their own spiritual autonomy, weren’t nearly as spiritually strong as the Zhanlu Sword.

Ye Tianchen looked around and realized that although he was trapped within a beam of sword light from the Zhanlu Sword, as long as he didn’t attack, no autonomous power of slaughter would assail him. In other words, if he didn’t make a move, he would be very safe within this sword light. He couldn’t quite grasp what the Zhanlu Sword intended to do!

"Are you trapping me in this sword light so we could spend more time together and cultivate feelings? That doesn’t sound too bad!" Ye Tianchen continued smiling at the Zhanlu Sword.

Swish!

Little did he know, right after his words fell, he sensed a breath of death. He watched as the sword light wrapping around him continuously shrunk and condensed, which was a very bad omen. If this sword light condensed down to a certain extent or even disappeared, Ye Tianchen would perish in the void—an obvious common sense!

"Damn it, no wonder you’re so smug, you intend to kill me this way, huh? I won’t give up!" Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth and said, tightly grasping the Zhanlu Sword with his right hand, pulling hard, trying to forcibly control it within his grasp.

Crackle!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Zhanlu Sword itself kept trembling, and powerful power of thunder and lightning erupted from its blade, striking Ye Tianchen’s right hand, forcing him to release his grip. Meanwhile, the huge sword light had already condensed to the size of a single person. Any further, and Ye Tianchen would be doomed! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Young friend, let me help you!" The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, realizing the danger, immediately rushed towards the Zhanlu Sword!

Bang!

The Zhanlu Sword seemed to sense trouble. Despite its strength and autonomy, it still found it challenging to withstand both Ye Tianchen and the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm, so it immediately, carrying the continuously condensing sword light, rushed out of the Cloud Stone palace.

Whoosh!

A divine sword shot out of the Cloud Stone-built palace, precisely the Zhanlu Sword, one of the ten mythical swords. Enveloped by a shrinking sword light, the figure inside was Ye Tianchen. Should the sword light completely condense and vanish, Ye Tianchen would face complete annihilation!

As the Zhanlu Sword, with Ye Tianchen, burst out of the Cloud Stone-built palace, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm was not far behind, realizing Ye Tianchen was in danger and wanted to help. However, the speed of the Zhanlu Sword was extremely fast.

Crash!

The Cloud Stone-built palace in the Hidden World collapsed completely, becoming rubble. Meanwhile, two figures burst out from the ruins, still engrossed in battle—Roma Vulcan and the big saber-wielding man, still fighting to the death, refusing to stop until one lay defeated.

Roma Vulcan glanced at the man with the saber and then at the Zhanlu Sword soaring in mid-air, remarking furiously, "The Zhanlu Sword, one of the ten mythical swords, immensely powerful! Don’t you desire to obtain it rather than watch others seize it?"

"You wicked old fake monk, don’t try to provoke or tempt me. It’s useless; my grudge with you needs settling first!" the saber-wielding man shouted, exuding a reckless determination.

Hearing these words, Roma Vulcan felt a sense of speechlessness. He never expected the saber-wielding man to be someone with no sense of priority. Even with such an alarming divine sword appearing, he had no desire to seize it but thought only of avenging the humiliation he just suffered. Such a person truly left one feeling frustrated!

"Then I’ll just have to kill you, kill you all, and then claim the Zhanlu Sword!" Roma Vulcan declared fiercely, unleashing a golden foil from his right hand!

"Come at me, old thing! It’s either your death or my life today!" the saber-wielding man shouted, unleashing his Big Saber Treasure.

At this moment, the Zhanlu Sword was carrying Ye Tianchen constantly flying toward the sky. That sword light was gradually shrinking, but Ye Tianchen was not one to sit idly by. He swung his fists to attack, but unfortunately, he couldn’t immediately shatter the sword light. The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm moved swiftly, rushing towards Ye Tianchen, aiming to lend a helping hand to rescue him!

Pa!

A giant palm slapped toward the sword light of the Zhanlu Sword. The Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm finally caught up and, without hesitation, struck out with a palm, attempting to break the sword light and rescue Ye Tianchen. Unexpectedly, when the Great Elder slapped down, he instantly felt an immense power of thunder and lightning descending from the sky, bombarding him directly, with a fearsome force.

Boom!

In an instant, several powerful thunderbolts descended from the sky, attacking the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm with astonishing might. Ye Tianchen watched this scene and hurriedly said, "Elder, don’t worry about me. The Zhanlu Sword has already developed a considerable spiritual nature. It naturally governs the formation of this hidden world and can stir up the magic law power here, summoning the power of thunder and lightning, be careful!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, the Great Elder of the Chinese Kunlun Secret Realm was also being restrained. One thunderbolt after another fell, extremely terrifying; with the slightest mistake, one could be struck into nothingness. Even the only person who could aid Ye Tianchen’s escape was restrained, putting Ye Tianchen in real danger!

Watching the continuously shrinking sword light, watching the Zhanlu Sword tremble slightly, seemingly demonstrating with pride, Ye Tianchen smiled calmly and said, "Have you exhausted your methods? If you lose, then obediently follow me!"

Hua la la!

The Zhanlu Sword seemed angry; it hated being controlled like this. Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, it trembled slightly and unleashed a powerful shock-kill force, slashing directly toward Ye Tianchen, simultaneously accelerating the shrinking of the sword light.

Pang!

Ye Tianchen shattered this murderous aura while sitting cross-legged on the ground. At this moment, his eyes were firm and very serious as he said, "Your sword light is strong, but not unbreakable. I will break it now; you should submit to me!"

Shua!

Suddenly, just as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, a strand of chaotic energy surged from his body. This strand was incredibly hazy and blurry. As it surged forward, the sword light of the Zhanlu Sword was shattered, broken instantly, seemingly unable to withstand this hazy strand!

"Chaos Qi!" exclaimed Roma Vulcan, upon seeing the power surging out of Ye Tianchen, startled beyond measure.

"Fake monk, you should worry about yourself!" shouted the burly man with a saber slashing toward Roma Vulcan.

"Humph, today I will not only seize the Zhanlu Sword but also the Chaos Qi. This is the day of my greatest fortune!" Roma Vulcan snorted coldly and spoke fiercely.

Indeed, what Ye Tianchen unleashed was Chaos Qi. At this stage, he held nothing back. With his current strength, he could not break the sword light by force; only by using the unbreakable power of Chaos Qi could he shatter the sword light, liberating himself from the danger of annihilation and, in the next steps, subdue the Zhanlu Sword!

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen rushed out of the sword light, simultaneously forming complex hand seals. As he watched the Zhanlu Sword attempting to flee, he said, "Now it’s my turn, where do you think you’re going!"

Shua!

Ye Tianchen wielded Chaos Qi, transforming it into a strand that quickly enveloped the Zhanlu Sword, wrapping around it rapidly. The Zhanlu Sword appeared extremely panicked, seeming unable to imagine that Ye Tianchen’s body contained Chaos Qi, leaving it helpless. Upon seeing the Chaos Qi transform into a strand enveloping it, the Zhanlu Sword could only flee swiftly, not daring to clash directly with Chaos Qi!

Unfortunately, at this point, how could Ye Tianchen allow the Zhanlu Sword to escape? He had even resorted to using Chaos Qi, so if he let the Zhanlu Sword escape, he would slap himself hard; that would be too useless!

Nonetheless, it must be said that the Zhanlu Sword was very spiritual and stubborn; even at this juncture, it did not stop resisting, surging a Sword Qi from within to strike toward the Chaos Qi strand...
