In the end, Ye Chen decided to take a gamble. Reaching the pinnacle was his pursuit; if he did not even dare take this much risk, what right did he have to reach the pinnacle?
Holding the Heavenly Sword horizontally in his right hand, Ye Chen suddenly swung his sword. Sword Qi swept toward a point a hundred li away like a bolt of silk.
Boom!
The Sword Qi struck an invisible force and instantly dissipated.
"No danger. It's just that this Desolate God will is far too faint."
Ye Chen first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly. Clearly, the Desolate God will triggered when the baboon beast struck the invisible force had been far stronger—thousands, even tens of thousands of times stronger than what his Sword Qi had triggered. Going by the Desolate God will triggered by the baboon beast, the chaotic will on his Martial Dao Avatar would only need half a day to be erased. Now, that time would be delayed by tens of millions of times.
"No rush. This can count as a trial for me."
For Ye Chen, this truly was a trial. To trigger the Desolate God will, he had to attack the invisible force—the barrier of the Desolate Mystic Realm. This was not a short-term undertaking, but a long-term project. During that time, he would need to attack at least hundreds of millions of times.
Of course, before beginning this project, he first had to deal with the Iron Star Snake.
The Iron Star Snake was a beast. Before a superior being, its instincts would make it submit. But when facing one roughly equal to itself, a beast would fight to the death and never retreat.
Clang clang clang clang...
The clanging of metal rang without end, from morning until night,
