Chapter 2713: Blasting the Zhuxian Sword

In the Zhutian Lingyu, lightning flashed and thunder roared, filling the immortal dome with booming sounds.

Ye Chen stood beside the Chaos Body, placing his hand on its shoulder and casting a domineering immortal technique. He forcefully broke the seal of the Zhu Xian Jian and awakened the Chaos Body from its slumber.

The Chaos Body opened its eyes but nearly stumbled and fell.

Ye Chen showed great understanding. He separated the Chaos essence that had been absorbed and channeled it back into the Chaos Body through his palm, along with the refined essence of the Sacred Body.

"I was careless."

The Chaos Body finally steadied itself, its eyes flashing with a cold light as it muttered those words.

"It's not important anymore."

Ye Chen drew his Dao sword and twisted his neck fiercely, signaling that the real show was about to begin.

Zheng!

The Zhu Xian Jian let out a sharp ring and shattered the void without a second thought. It had severely underestimated Ye Chen, and this place was no longer safe to stay. As fellow half-step Dacheng beings, Ye Chen was far stronger than the former female Sacred Body Hong Yan. In its current weakened state, it was no match for him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ye Chen snorted coldly and vanished in an instant.

Pang!

A metallic clash echoed as the Zhu Xian Jian, which had just escaped into the void, was struck out by Ye Chen's sword. More precisely, its sword body bore Ye Chen's reincarnation mark.

Indeed, it was the Fei Lei Shen technique. Ye Chen had imprinted it earlier when he threw the sword. Though it shattered the void, Ye Chen followed like a shadow, delivering a devastating sword strike.

Hong!

The Zhu Xian Jian's sword body was as heavy as a mountain, crushing a section of the sky.

Weng!

The Chaos Body's attack arrived, wielding a pitch-black iron whip—the Di Qi Da Shen Bian. Daozu hadn't given Ye Chen an ultimate emperor weapon, but he had his disciple deliver this one.

Pang!

Another metallic collision sparked bright flames, sending the Zhu Xian Jian flying again. Struck by the emperor weapon specialized in attacking the primordial spirit, its consciousness fell into chaos, and the immortal glow on its sword body dimmed instantly.

Ye Chen pressed down with a heavenly palm, manifesting the eighty-one Emperor Dao Fuxi arrays, perfectly fused with the Twelve Tianzi Great Ming Array, enveloping that entire realm.

The Zhu Xian Jian buzzed and disrupted the laws, erasing the reincarnation mark as it tried to flee into the sky.

Ye Chen shouted coldly and instantly cast the Great Reincarnation Heaven Reversal, reversing the space and pulling it back.

The Chaos Body charged upward without any preamble, swinging the Da Shen Bian.

The Zhu Xian Jian suffered again, the pounding sounds crisp and pleasing. Its recently cleared consciousness was thrown into disarray once more, and the seven-colored immortal glow that had just blossomed dimmed again—a sign of injury. It couldn't even bleed, but every time it was damaged, the seven-colored light would fade. At its peak, it wouldn't fear an emperor weapon, but now it was exceptionally weak.

Pang! Huang Dang! Bang! Keng Xiang!

What followed was a visually satisfying scene—one that didn't need to be watched, just listened to.

The outstanding Zhu Xian Jian was getting hammered again.

The Chaos Body was ferocious, wielding the Da Shen Bian and smashing one blow after another, sending the Zhu Xian Jian flying wildly through the air. That ultimate emperor weapon, specialized in striking the primordial spirit, was extraordinarily domineering.

The Ancient Sacred Body was even more ferocious. Though without an emperor weapon, it was at half-step Dacheng, with each sword strike more overbearing than the last, ignoring the Zhu Xian Jian's body and targeting its consciousness directly, aiming to turn that sword into a complete fool.

The two worked in perfect harmony, one sword and one whip, relentlessly hammering the Zhu Xian Jian.

As for the Zhu Xian Jian, it was quite pitiful.

To put it simply, ever since Ye Chen struck it back with his sword, it hadn't stood steady once. The immortal light on its sword body dimmed repeatedly, and it tried to escape time and again, only to be blocked each time.

"Beat it! Beat it to death."

Xuan Di of Buzhou Mountain was like he'd taken stimulants and chugged chicken blood, extremely excited as he shouted, his boisterous voice echoing through the heavens and earth, waking many from their dreams.

"Beat it! Beat it to death."

Even Ming Di couldn't hold back his playful nature, more outrageous than Xuan Di. He stood at the peak of Jieming Mountain, jumping around, his blood boiling. If he could, he'd go over and kick it too.

Compared to them, Daozu and the Qianmian Di Ying were much more low-key.

The two great emperors and their emperor shadows were loyal spectators, watching the Sacred Body and Chaos Body hammer the Zhu Xian Jian. "Let's see you act cocky now! Let's see you cause trouble! Look, you're getting what you deserve!"

"Exhilarating."

The onlookers like Laojun wore huge grins of satisfaction on their faces, loving this plot twist. It had dug its own pit and buried itself. The Zhu Xian Jian was truly exceptional.

Due to the Zhu Xian Jian's heavy injuries, the Honghuang Clan was embarrassed.

Across the entire battlefield, the seven-colored light on the Honghuang people flickered on and off, their combat strength rising and falling accordingly. Not just them—even the cultivators of Zhutian were raising their eyebrows at this magic-like turn of events. There must be some issue with the Zhu Xian Jian.

"Damn it."

The Honghuang Clan Emperor raged again, itching to find the Zhu Xian Jian and have a serious talk. "Are you up to it or not? This is a war! Don't mess around—people are dying here."

"It's back."

"That wretch is back."

At the peak of Tianxuan Gate, Ren Wang chuckled, not even needing to calculate. The Zhou Tian had its own resonance, and with the Honghuang anomalies, it was easy to imagine what happened. The Zhu Xian Jian was probably getting hammered by Ye Chen, affecting that forbidden immortal technique and the Honghuang combat buffs.

The remnant soul of Ren Huang spoke without any subtlety, calling it a wretch outright. This made Ye Chen, still in the midst of battle, sneeze repeatedly. He was sure some wretch was cursing him behind his back.

"Are you certain it's back?"

Fu Ya stared at Ren Wang, seeking a definitive answer.

"No doubt about it."

"Alright then!"

Soon, a message spread across the entire battlefield: The Tenth Emperor of Great Chu, Ye Chen, has returned.

Those few words were shocking enough to shake the heavens.

All the Zhutian cultivators' eyes lit up in unison. For some reason, just hearing Ye Chen's name brought immense reassurance, like glimpsing a dawn light in the darkness— incredibly radiant.

Perhaps that was the legendary faith, carried by a person named Ye Chen, imbued with supreme power that could rally the fighting spirit of all beings, never admitting defeat.

" Fight!"

This roar echoed through the entire starry sky, igniting an invisible battle intent across the universe. The madness hidden deep in their hearts was awakened in that instant, turning everyone into frenzied warriors.

"Kill! Kill for me!"

The Honghuang roared in fury, their anger piercing to the core upon hearing Ye Chen's name. So what if he returned? He couldn't save Zhutian. The Honghuang iron hooves would still trample through all realms.

Hong! Bang! Hong!

In just a few moments, the great battle resumed. The Zhutian cultivators fought like madmen, bathing in Honghuang blood and killing with wild abandon, their battle intent burning like fire. The Honghuang soldiers fought like madmen too, bathing in Zhutian blood and slaughtering mercilessly. Both sides escalated to a decisive confrontation.

Hong! Bang! Hong!

The starry sky was in chaos, and the Lingyu was in chaos, with one section of the sky after another collapsing.

And the one still getting hammered was the Zhu Xian Jian.

It was outstanding, but the Sacred Body and Chaos Body were even more so.

Especially Ye Chen, who had advanced to Quasi-Emperor Peak, was overwhelmingly powerful.

A half-step Dacheng Sacred Body was this domineering. As Ming Di had said, even if the Heaven Demon Emperor came, it wouldn't be enough. He could slay an emperor at the Nine Heavens level, let alone in his peak state.

This was all thanks to the Zhu Xian Jian—it truly adored him, more than his own wives. Every so often, it delivered a stroke of fortune, each one more heaven-defying than the last.

Without that, who knows how long it would take Ye Chen to break through to Quasi-Emperor Peak.

Huang Dang!

With a crisp sound, the Zhu Xian Jian was heavily injured again, smashed down from the ethereal void by the Chaos Body's Da Shen Bian, instantly creating a deep abyss in the vast earth.

Zheng!

The Zhu Xian Jian shot up like a divine rainbow, its dim seven-colored light blooming once more. It must have been enraged and activated some forbidden law, gaining powerful strength in return.

Then came a shower of swords from the sky, each fused with annihilating divine power.

The Chaos Body's eyes blazed like torches, transforming Hongmeng Purple Qi into armor as it charged through the sword rain toward the heavens. Ye Chen was even more domineering, using his Ancient Sacred Body to withstand it head-on. He slashed out a brilliant star river with his sword, sending the Zhu Xian Jian flying. Before it could steady itself, the Da Shen Bian struck again.

"Damn it."

The Zhu Xian Jian roared in anger, its voice sounding like a male cultivator bellowing or a female cultivator shrieking—it was pure rage. The seven-colored light grew even stronger, summoning a vast ocean of thunder that blanketed the starry sky, swallowing Ye Chen and the Chaos Body on the spot.

Hou! Hou!

Dragon roars erupted as Ye Chen transformed into a golden divine dragon, and the Chaos Body became a purple Dao dragon. They burst out simultaneously and shifted back to human form in the same instant, unleashing world-shaking attacks.

Keng Xiang!

Guang Dang!

The Zhu Xian Jian was defeated again, tearing through the void for the umpteenth time and vanishing in an instant.

"Where are you running?"

Ye Chen reached out, thrusting his hand into the void rift and stirring the winds of the universe, dragging the Zhu Xian Jian back. He cast the Reversal of the Worldly Reincarnation, enveloping it in terrifying destructive force. The strong seven-colored immortal light on its sword body was extinguished piece by piece.

The Zhu Xian Jian buzzed and forcibly broke free from Ye Chen's grasp, fleeing to the distant sky.

There, the Chaos Body was already waiting, smashing down with a whip of immense power.

Unfortunately, the Zhu Xian Jian was incredibly tough, refusing to shatter no matter how much it was hit.

"Open the Chaos."

A ethereal voice came from the void, belonging to Daozu Hongjun.

As the words fell, Ye Chen and the Chaos Body closed their eyes in unison.

Daozu did the same.

In the next instant, all three opened their eyes—their Chaos Eyes activating together for the first time.

The night in the Lingyu transformed instantly.

Looking up, wisps of mist intertwined and formed a vast expanse of Chaos, blocking the starlight and moonlight. Only the Chaos immortal light crisscrossed within, etched with Chaos Dao principles and accompanied by the sounds of the Great Dao. All things evolved inside, perishing in reincarnation and reviving in destruction.

This was Daozu using Ye Chen and the Chaos Body's eyes as a medium, through Chaos, to cast an Emperor Dao immortal technique at a specific time. It was filled with destructive power, targeted solely at the Zhu Xian Jian.

The Zhu Xian Jian trembled with what seemed like anger and fear, its seven-colored immortal light reaching its peak.

"Seal!"

Daozu shouted coldly, and the Chaos descended from the heavens, extinguishing the Zhu Xian Jian's seven-colored light. Within the Chaos, strands of Chaos Dao principles were etched one after another onto the sword body—an Emperor Dao seal that, in a certain sense, surpassed the attacks of two emperors.
