Seven days.
For seven whole days, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the long steps, with fairy light flowing around his body and his breath rising and falling.
In the battle that day, he devoured all the thunder power of Tianzun's Ninth Tribulation, and refined the Half-Emperor origin left by that Golden Tower Emperor Lord.
Ordinary monks can refine only 10% of it, which is enough to attack Quasi Emperor.
Seven days passed and he slowly opened his eyes.
The lightning in his eyes was restrained, and his breath was as steady as an abyss.
Nine Calamities Heavenly Venerable Xiaocheng.
The original mass of Half-Emperor was refined by him by 30%. Adding all the energy of Tianzun's ninth calamity, it would be enough to go directly from Nine Calamities Early Stage to Quasi Emperor.
But his Sea of Qi is too vast.
Immortal Physique blessed by eight emperor thunders is like an endless sea of stars. No matter how much energy is filled in, it will only cause a few ripples.
"If all the remaining seven sources are refined..."
Ye Xuan talks to himself.
"At most, Nine Calamities Peak."
He shook his head.
Immortal Physique is so tyrannical that the resources required for cultivation are dozens or hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people.
But he didn't have time.
After seven days of seclusion, more than seven hundred days have passed outside.
Nearly two years.
Ye Xun Over there, I don't know how far it has reached.
Ye Xuan Get up.
He did not continue to refine the remaining seven cost sources, but sealed them deep in Sea of Qi for the future.
The most urgent task is to keep moving upward.
He stepped forward, stepping deeper into the chaos.
Buzz!
The first step fell, and a force of space law that was several times stronger than before came crashing down!
The power of the law was like a tide, coming from all directions, squeezing his body!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
Keep moving.
One hundred floors, five hundred floors, one thousand floors!
Every time you climb a step, the law of space becomes stronger!
At the three thousandth floor, Ye Xuan's footsteps began to become heavy.
The power of that law is enough to make it difficult for any Nine Calamities Peak to move!
Five thousand floors!
Great Emperor Shenwu Dharma began to become illusory.
Six thousand floors!
Huang Heavenly Emperor Dharma Idol also dimmed.
Only the Immortal Body Dharma Aspect in the center is still dazzling, surrounded by eight imperial thunders, suppressing the endless laws and isolating them from the outside!
But Ye Xuan's pace has become slow and difficult.
Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Every step you take takes a huge amount of effort.
But those eyes were still as bright as stars.
Firm, decisive.
Eight thousand layers!
Nine thousand layers!
Ten thousand floors!
The moment when Ye Xuan steps onto the 80,000th step!
Boom!
The fog ahead suddenly dispersed!
A majestic figure, like an eternal stone statue, stands quietly in the center of the long steps!
He is sixty thousand feet tall, wearing an ancient black battle robe, holding an equally huge heavy sword in both hands, the tip of the sword is touching the ground, and the sword body is as wide as a door panel.
He just stood there with his eyes closed, like a sleeping stone sculpture.
But the aura that spread out from his body.
Like an abyss, like a prison, like an ancient sacred mountain, overwhelming!
Half-Emperor!
And it is the pinnacle among Half-Emperor!
Only half a step away from attaining enlightenment and becoming an emperor?!
Ye Xuan pupils shrink.
He knew this figure.
It is recorded in ancient books: In the last years of ancient times, there was a Sword Emperor, named "Chongyuan". The sword he followed was completely different from the sharp and sharp swords known to the world. His sword had no edge or edge, only endless thickness.
When a sword comes out, it's like a mountain falling, like the earth sinking.
He once competed with the emperors of his generation and fought until the sky fell apart. However, due to a surprise attack during the last imperial tribulation, he fell short of success and fell on the road to enlightenment.
Now...
He became the guardian of Ascending Sky Ladder.
Buzz!
The pair of eyes that had been closed for countless thousands of years slowly opened.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying sword intent erupted like a sleeping beast awakening!
The sword has no edge or edge, but is as thick as a mountain, causing the entire long staircase to tremble!
"Haha..."
Emperor Chongyuan spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, but it was like an eternal thunder, exploding in Chaos Space.
"Millions of years."
"Finally, someone walked up to this Emperor Lord."
His eyes fell on Ye Xuan.
After a moment, those eyes narrowed slightly.
"The breath on your body..."
He paused.
"It's very similar to that person."
Ye Xuan met his gaze, neither humble nor overbearing.
"That's my father, the younger generation."
"Ye Cangtian."
"Ye Cangtian..." Emperor Chongyuan murmured again and suddenly smiled.
In that smile, there are memories and emotions.
"It turns out to be his son."
He looked at Ye Xuan with deep eyes.
"Not bad."
"Your talent is better than that of your father."
He paused and changed the subject.
"What a pity^"
He shook his head.
"You came too early."
"If you are in the Quasi Emperor state now, this Emperor Lord is no match for you."
There was a hint of pride in his tone.
That is the peak of self-confidence belonging to Half-Emperor.
"What a pity." Ye Xuan showed no fear at all.
He raised his hand and Heavenly Ember Sword was unsheathed!
The sword pointed at the towering figure of sixty thousand feet in the distance!
"Since the chief arranged for the juniors to meet the seniors here^"
"That junior can win."
"Isn't it?"
"Hahahaha!" Emperor Chongyuan looked up to the sky and laughed!
That laughter shook the chaos and made the whole body tremble!
"Good! What a formidable young man!"
His laughter stopped and his eyes were as bright as lightning!
"Your father trapped us here back then and guarded the steps. Maybe it was you who was waiting for us!"
"Then today^"
He held the giant sword with both hands and slowly raised it!
The sword body hasn't moved yet, but the sword's intention is as strong as a mountain!
"This Emperor Lord will let you know^"
"What is the way of Sword Emperor!"
Boom!
The giant sword is raised!
A sword light suddenly slashed down!
That sword light is not a sharp arc, but a ten thousand-foot mountain where the sword intent is condensed!
Wherever the mountains pass, space collapses and chaos is annihilated!
Imperial law!
Ye Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank!
This sword is more than twice as powerful as Golden Tower Emperor Lord's halberd!
He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest!
Boom!
Behind him, the three Dharma Masters were shaking at the same time!
Eight imperial thunders surround Immortal Body Dharma Aspect, and the bright fairy light washes away in all directions!
Heavenly Ember Sword ignites Quasi Emperor level Emperor Fire in his hand, and on the sword body, golden Emperor Mark circulates crazily!
"Cut!"
He also slashed out with one sword!
Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!
A ray of sword light reaches the sword-intended mountain!
Boom!
Two sword rays collided violently in the void!
At that moment, the world was silent!
But the next moment!
Click!
Ye Xuan's sword light shattered in response!
That sword-intending mountain was suddenly suppressed!
"Huh?!"
Ye Xuan's face changed suddenly and his body retreated violently!
But those mountains are too fast!
In the blink of an eye, he was already chasing him!
He could only lift Heavenly Ember Sword and hold the sword horizontally in front of him!
Boom!
As powerful as a mountain, it crashed down!
Ye Xuan was like a kite with its string cut off, flying upside down!
He flew thousands of feet before he could barely keep his body steady!
Poof!
A mouthful of blood spurted out!
The three Dharma images behind him were shaking violently and their light dimmed!
Just a sword!
He is already injured!
Emperor Chongyuan stood where he was, not even moving a step.
He looked at Ye Xuan, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Can block this Emperor Lord's sword without dying."
"Immortal Physique, it's really amazing."
He paused.
"Can you still get up?"
Ye Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up slowly.
His complexion was slightly pale and his breath was somewhat disturbed.
But those eyes were astonishingly bright!
"Come again!"
He roared low and rose into the sky!
The second sword!
Boom!
Knocked back again!
The third sword!
Boom!
Still knocked back!
The fourth sword!
The fifth sword!
In just a few breaths, the two of them had exchanged five sword blows!
With every sword strike, Ye Xuan was knocked back!
But Emperor Chongyuan's face became more and more solemn.
The fifth sword time.
Ye Xuan was only knocked back half a step!
Half a step!
"You..."
He stared at Ye Xuan, his pupils narrowed.
"Understanding your own imperial way?!"
He saw it!
This Ye Xuan is not fighting him at all!
Rather, I am borrowing his sword to sharpen my own path!
With every sword strike, his sword intent is getting stronger!
With every sword strike, his use of power is improving!
He is Nine Calamities Heavenly Venerable!
Then he began to understand the way of the emperor?!
How is this possible?!
"Haha..."
Ye Xuan stood in the void. Although the aura around his body was chaotic, the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
"Senior."
He raised Heavenly Ember Sword, and above the sword's edge, silver-purple lightning intertwined with golden Emperor Fire, forming an unprecedented Daoist rhyme.
"You are wrong."
"Juniors don't understand."
"But..."
"Recover!"
Forty thousand years ago, he was Quasi Emperor!
He already has his own prototype of the Imperial Way!
Calamity Heaven Lightning Dao!
Take Immortal Physique as the foundation, thunder as the blade, and fighting spirit as the soul!
Now, he is just looking for it!
Adapting!
"Senior..."
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and the aura around him began to rise crazily!
Eight imperial thunders were spinning crazily around him!
The three Dharma images bloom brightly again!
Desolate Heavenly Emperor holds the tripod, Great Emperor Shenwu makes a fist!
Immortal Body Dharma Aspect is in the center, surrounded by eight thunders!
"One sword..."
He poured all his power into Heavenly Ember Sword!
On the sword body, the silver purple thunder light and the golden Emperor Fire completely merged, turning into an unprecedented color of chaos!
"Let's decide the outcome!"
He held the sword with both hands and slashed down at the towering figure of 60,000 feet!
"Myriad Sword Art third level!"
"The sky falls!"
But this time, this sword is completely different from before!
In the sword light, there is not only the fierceness of Myriad Sword Art, but also the dominance of Calamity Heaven Lightning Dao!
There is the vastness of Immortal Physique, and the power of double Heavenly Emperor!
What's more, he had already condensed the embryonic form of the Imperial Dao 40,000 years ago!
A sword comes out!
The sky is pale!
A chaotic sword light penetrates the heaven and earth, tearing apart the chaos and slashing towards Emperor Chongyuan!
Emperor Chongyuan's eyes were solemn.
He held the sword with both hands and struck out the strongest blow!
"Chongyuan·Zhenshi!"
With one move of the sword, the sword intention condensed into a real mountain!
The mountains are so big that they cover the sky and the sun, and they will last forever!
Two powerful swords collided in the void!
