Chapter 795: Accomplishment

"Great Elder, didn't you say you thought highly of Ye Yuan? Then why..."

The Great Elder laughed: "It is precisely because I think highly of Ye Yuan that I forbid him from using the sacred artifact. Haven't you noticed that after using the sacred artifact, Ye Yuan's strength is already far above those so-called geniuses? And this kid hasn't even shown his full strength! I forbid him from using the sacred artifact precisely to see his true strength!"

That elder was taken aback. Already this strong, and he still hadn't shown his full strength?

Where exactly was Ye Yuan's limit?

"Great Elder, since the use of sacred artifacts is forbidden, should Ye Yuan's previous record be voided?"

Wu Jiantong was thrilled that the Great Elder had personally intervened to restrict Ye Yuan. He immediately seized the opportunity to demand the annulment of Ye Yuan's previous record.

"The previous matches were the Holy Land's oversight, so Ye Yuan's record stands. This rule will take effect starting from the next match!" The Great Elder's voice rang out again.

In truth, the Holy Land had considered the matter of sacred artifacts, but martial artists at the Boundless Realm could not fully unleash the power of a sacred artifact.

Even using a sacred artifact, the boost to their strength was limited.

Take Wu Jiantong, for example. Even if he used the Wu family's sacred artifact, he could not defeat Nalan Chu. That was why the Holy Land had not imposed restrictions on sacred artifacts.

But Ye Yuan's appearance completely broke this pattern, forcing the Great Elder to change the rules on the spot.

Faced with this unfair treatment, Yang Sen and Pei Wenqiang showed indignation on their faces.

But the Great Elder's status was too high; they dared not refute, only fuming in silence.

Ye Yuan himself, however, appeared quite calm.

He looked at the ethereal figures on the high platform and said indifferently, "As you wish."

With that, he put away the Star Moon Sword and left the arena directly.

Ye Yuan's first day of battles thus ended with three wins in three matches.

Ye Yuan's forceful entry into the top tier surprised everyone.

After all three rounds of the first day, only a handful of contestants had won all three matches—just five people!

The others mostly had mixed results, showing that everyone's strength was very close.

Beside the arena, there was a light screen formed by a formation. After each round, everyone's record was displayed on it.

Nalan Chu's name was prominently ranked first.

Following Nalan Chu were Li Zongtao, Wu Jiantong, Zhang Tianyi, and Ye Yuan.

These five were all undefeated on the first day, tied for first place.

However, because Ye Yuan had spent too much time in his third match, he was ranked last among them.

Of course, the first day's ranking didn't mean much. As time went on, this ranking would change dramatically.

Ye Yuan had no time to care about that. After returning to his residence, he went straight into the Haotian Tower to continue refining the black iron block.

Able to glimpse the secrets of the golden characters, Ye Yuan was now full of drive.

Today, Ye Yuan's progress in refining the black iron block seemed much faster than before. Even with only one night, he managed to refine one-tenth of it.

At this rate, Ye Yuan would need another five days to completely refine it.

Ye Yuan was eager to see what changes would occur in the golden characters then.

The matches over the next few days posed little challenge for Ye Yuan. For three consecutive days, he won all his matches.

Three days later, Ye Yuan, with a record of nine victories and no defeats, firmly held his place in the top tier of the rankings.

By this time, only four contestants remained undefeated on the leaderboard.

On the third day of battle, Li Zongtao encountered a formidable opponent, Nalan Chu, and after a grueling fight of over a hundred exchanges, he ultimately lost.

However, the fact that he could push Nalan Chu to such an extent earned Li Zongtao recognition from everyone.

Of course, aside from Ye Yuan, the one who attracted the most attention was Zhang Tianyi!

Like Ye Yuan, Zhang Tianyi also came from a different qualifying division.

Over these three days of competition, Zhang Tianyi had defeated strong opponents in succession, maintaining an undefeated streak, and even overshadowed Ye Yuan in prominence.

Although Ye Yuan also remained undefeated, he had not encountered any truly formidable opponents during these three days.

But on the fourth day, Ye Yuan faced the toughest resistance since the start of the tournament.

In the first match of the fourth day, Ye Yuan encountered a genius named Han Feng!

Like Zhang Tianyi and Ye Yuan, he also came from a different qualifying division. Unfortunately, he had met Nalan Chu on the very first day, which prevented him from tying for first place.

Although he ultimately lost, he had fought Nalan Chu for two hundred exchanges, proving himself even stronger than Li Zongtao!

"Ye Yuan, I hope you won't disappoint me! I will use you to hone my blade!" Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Han Feng released a powerful fighting spirit.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I won't let you down!"

As soon as they engaged, Ye Yuan felt an overwhelming surge of power.

Han Feng's strength was indeed astonishingly formidable.

Han Feng's comprehension of blade intent was infinitely close to the supreme true intent.

"This Han Feng seems even stronger than when he fought Nalan Chu! Ye Yuan has met his match this time; his winning streak might just come to an end!"

"Good heavens, each strike is so powerful and majestic! It's no easy feat for Ye Yuan to withstand such狂暴 blade intent! He's only at the Divine Travel realm; once he breaks through to the Infinite realm, he might be invincible among his peers. Even Nalan Chu might not be his match."

"Indeed, Ye Yuan was born at the wrong time. If he had another year or two, he would definitely have the strength to contend with Nalan Chu. Unfortunately, his cultivation level is too low now."

"Hmm? That's not right! Look, Han Feng... seems to have broken through! He... he has comprehended the embryonic form of the supreme true intent!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise.

Han Feng's blade strikes grew increasingly fierce with each one, and with the final strike, he broke through his limits and achieved the supreme true intent!

That single strike carried the might to split the world in two.

Ye Yuan seemed to have anticipated this. Facing this overwhelming move, he pointed his longsword, and instantly the landscape changed!

An intangible sword intent filled the entire arena, as if the whole world was imbued with sword intent!

The spectators below the stage changed expressions repeatedly.

This battle was one climax after another!

They had thought Ye Yuan was sure to lose, but unexpectedly, he had even stronger moves!

"Pierce the Vast Sky!"

With a single sword strike, Ye Yuan completely annihilated the supreme blade intent that Han Feng had condensed.

The entire venue fell silent, everyone waiting for Han Feng's counterattack.

But no one expected Han Feng to suddenly clasp his fists at Ye Yuan and say, "Thank you, Brother Ye, for your help. Han Feng concedes defeat! With your strength, even without relying on the power of a sacred artifact, you are fully capable of contending with Nalan Chu!"

The crowd was startled—could it be that Ye Yuan had deliberately guided Han Feng to achieve his supreme true intent?
