Chapter 2245: Sword, Come!

Suddenly, the aura around Ye Yuan changed.

Between heaven and earth, a mysterious and unfathomable airflow began to flow slowly.

This airflow grew stronger and more intense.

Ye Yuan's long robe fluttered without wind.

“Hmm? My sword!”

“What’s wrong with my sword?”

“My sword too!”

…

Further away, those strong practitioners who had already fled the Asura Blood Sea all sensed their swords vibrating!

Even hidden in storage spaces, their swords hummed incessantly, almost breaking free from their sheaths!

Ye Yuan stood proudly in the sky, as if a celestial aura swirled around him.

At this moment, Ye Yuan stood tall and aloof, his demeanor calm, exuding the bearing of a grandmaster.

This was not him pretending to be profound, but the natural ease that came after his enlightenment!

The moment the Bone Sword shattered, Ye Yuan felt a sudden insight.

Amid the storm of attacks, he had actually devoted more energy to enlightenment!

Alchemy, swordsmanship, spatial laws, temporal laws—Ye Yuan had comprehended many and varied laws.

But in martial arts, Ye Yuan's most fundamental strength remained swordsmanship!

His spatial laws were comprehended through the ultimate application of swordsmanship, by analogy.

Swordsmanship was Ye Yuan's most fundamental insight.

Thinking back to those days, Ye Yuan had comprehended the sword amidst the sacred cherry blossom rain, creating the Falling Petal Sword.

At that time, it was merely play, yet he easily grasped the sword intent.

But since he began to re-cultivate martial arts, Ye Yuan had never looked back on the path of swordsmanship.

Over the years, Ye Yuan had grown accustomed to traveling the world with a single sword by his side.

One sword could slay demons!

One sword could eclipse the sun and moon!

One sword could shatter the heavens!

However, the moment the Bone Sword shattered, he suddenly gained a realization.

He seemed too reliant on external objects.

With the sword in the heart, why use a physical sword?

The sword is the intent in the chest; why rely on external force?

At the pinnacle of the sword, a flying flower or a plucked leaf can wound; grass, wood, stones, all can be swords!

Heavenly Sovereign Treasures and Heavenly Emperor Treasures could certainly greatly enhance a swordsman's power.

But the strongest was not the treasure, but the swordsman himself!

“Sword, come!”

Ye Yuan reached out, and the swords trembling in their sheaths could no longer bear it, flying out.

However, what flew over was not the swords themselves, but a wisp of sword spirit!

Ye Yuan reached out and drew out all the sword spirits within millions of miles!

In an instant, streaks of sword light pierced the sky, howling in like a meteor shower.

The scene was spectacular!

Those “meteor showers” converged in Ye Yuan's hand, condensing into a light sword!

Ye Yuan grasped the light sword, and an aura of dominating the world naturally emanated.

Tianhe's pupils contracted sharply, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, “This kid has directly comprehended the origin of the sword! Is it… is it because I shattered his Heavenly Sovereign Treasure that he achieved enlightenment?”

At this moment, Tianhe felt an extremely painful sensation.

Exchanging a Heavenly Sovereign Treasure for comprehending the origin of the sword—such a thing was absurd.

Yet, it was he who had brought it about.

He was only shocked that Ye Yuan's comprehension was terrifyingly high.

He had actually been comprehending while fighting!

How could Tianhe know that this was merely normal for Ye Yuan?

In the Death Cultivation Space, he always fought while comprehending.

Because only that way could he emerge from the Death Cultivation Space!

Over time, dividing his mind to comprehend during battle became nothing for Ye Yuan.

“All things under heaven can be swords; all swords in the world obey commands! This… this is already directly peering into the origin of the sword!”

“What is this kid's brain made of? He skipped the eight heavens of swordsmanship and comprehended the origin of the sword? That's something only Heavenly Human realm experts can comprehend!”

“Freak! Absolutely a freak! The laws this kid comprehends are almost all the strongest in the world! No wonder he doesn't even put the divine race in his eyes! I wonder, between him and this divine race ancestor, who is stronger and who is weaker!”

…

These Heavenly Emperor experts were all shocked beyond measure.

The power of the divine race had deeply impressed them.

But Ye Yuan's freakish comprehension terrified them even more.

However, at this moment, they naturally hoped Ye Yuan would win!

After all, this divine race ancestor had come with ill intent.

If the divine race ancestor won, they would all die.

Suddenly, Tianhe's face darkened, and he said coldly, “So what if it's the origin of the sword? I represent the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao is at my disposal; what is mere origin of the sword? Heavenly Dao, dark and vast, annihilate!”

Tianhe's body rippled with terrifying patterns of the Dao, summoning the descent of the Heavenly Dao.

The terrifying pressure made heaven and earth tremble.

At this moment, realms and laws seemed utterly weak.

In terms of momentum, the divine race ancestor completely overwhelmed Ye Yuan.

After all, he was a fearsome existence as renowned as the Dao Ancestor!

With the Heavenly Dao upon him, Tianhe's move would surely be earth-shattering.

His finger swirled, and in an instant, he was about to point.

Everyone seemed to foresee this terrifying strike.

But just then, a voice as if from the horizon suddenly descended!

“Freeze!”

Everything came to an abrupt halt!

Tianhe's heart shook violently!

In his pupils, Ye Yuan's light sword slashed down directly!

Swish…

The sword qi that could split the heavens sent a chill down Tianhe's spine.

A breath of death rushed toward him.

Having roamed the world for countless eons, there was almost nothing that could threaten him.

Even when besieged by eight Heavenly Human realm experts back then, he had never felt death so closely.

The sword fell, and space was directly torn open with a long gash.

At the critical moment, how could Tianhe dare hold back?

The Dao patterns on his body surged, and in an instant, he broke free from the binding of the Dao Word.

In the blink of an eye!

Ye Yuan knew that the time freeze could not bind Tianhe for long, but he only needed that instant!

Pfft!

Tianhe sidestepped slightly, avoiding the fatal sword.

But he did not dodge completely.

Tianhe's left arm was severed directly by the sword.

The violent sword qi swept past, annihilating his left arm.

Ye Yuan frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

“It seems I underestimated you! But if one sword is not enough, then another sword!”

Without hesitation, Ye Yuan raised the light sword again, about to strike.

Tianhe's pupils contracted, and with a “whoosh,” he threw a silver object into the giant pit, roaring, “The Silver Blood Essence you want!”

As he threw the Silver Blood Essence, Tianhe shot into the distance, fleeing in panic.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and with a step, he dashed toward the Silver Blood Essence, grabbing it.

And Tianhe, using this time gap, had already escaped.

Ye Yuan grasped the Silver Blood Essence, activated the formation to seal it, and felt a wave of exhaustion.

He smiled bitterly and said, “Good thing this guy got scared; where would I have the strength to strike another sword?”
