It turned out that what Ye Chen had shot into Ji Xueyan's Soul Sea between her brows was a drop of True Essence containing powerful Sword Intent. This drop of Sword Intent-infused True Essence would only be triggered at a moment of life and death.
This drop of True Essence had been compressed, though Ye Chen had not dared compress it too much. After all, True Essence could not normally exist within a Soul Sea. Even with Sword Intent guiding it, the danger was immense. However, Ye Chen's True Essence was ultimately beyond anything an ordinary Life and Death Realm King could rival. This was True Essence from the Life and Death Realm Second Heaven, coupled with peak sixth-stage Destruction Sword Intent. Let alone those below the Life and Death Realm, even renowned Life and Death Realm Kings would not be able to kill Ji Xueyan.
Moreover, this drop of Sword Intent-infused True Essence differed from the will-infused True Essence other Kings left in their juniors' Soul Seas. Their will-infused True Essence could only protect passively and could not attack actively. It was like the will-infused True Essence the Dragon King had once left in Ye Chen's Soul Sea—it could not launch an attack on its own. But Sword Intent was Sword Intent, and its offensive nature was exceedingly strong, especially Destruction Sword Intent. Not only could it passively protect Ji Xueyan, it could also strike back, because for a swordsman, attack was the best defense.
Black Sword Light suddenly flashed, slaughtering every half-step Demon King that had pounced forward. Ji Xueyan froze for a moment, then seemed to understand something.
"You've saved me twice already."
Back in the Heavenly Dream Ancient Land, Ye Chen had already saved her once.
"Since we have met again, it is fate. Live well.
