C562

The third match had finished. With the Demon's Heart and You Yifeng, Zi Yun and Xie Liu Ming would enter the final battle.

Although Zi Yun had fought his way out of the encirclement of the fifth group and also grasped the Heavenly Worm Transformation skill, the difference in strength between him and the demon core was too great. In less than half an incense's time, he lost and was placed in the top 16.

However, the master of the Sky Worm Mountain Range, Chi Tianshui, was very satisfied with this result. He kept smiling.

"Alright, today's competition is over. Tomorrow morning, the semifinals will begin."

After the drawing of lots finished, Mo Qianli loudly announced.

Just as the disciples of the Profound Nether Sect left the arena along with the bustling crowd, a ruddy old man wearing a astral-moon martial arts suit suddenly appeared and intercepted them.

Looking at the old man with the dense Qi in front of her, Shui You Ruo's face slightly changed, her heart tensed up. This was because the ruddy old man was the third elder of the Yue Clan, Yue Chenyuan.

"Elder Chen Yuan, why did you suddenly stop us?"

Shui Yiruo asked in a soft voice as she forced herself to put on a coquettish smile.

"I came to look for him."

Yue Chen looked at Ye Chenfeng, who had piqued his interest, and said slowly.

Xu Mingwei, I have watched all of your competitions, whether it is your talent or strength, I am very satisfied, I do not know if you are willing to become my disciple, but if you are willing, after the Dragon Lake City's Martial Competition ends, I can bring you back to the Yue Clan, provide you with unimaginable cultivation resources, and help you soar into the sky. Yue Chenyuan went straight to the point.

The moment Yue Chenyuan finished his sentence, Shui Mo Sang, Hong Lin and the others all cast their gazes towards Ye Chenfeng, admiring his luck and luck.

This was especially true for Shui Mo Sang. He was so jealous of Ye Chenfeng getting the favor of the Yue clan's third elder, Yue Chenyuan, that he even offered to take him in as a disciple.

Meanwhile, Shui You Ruo's heart leaped into her throat. She was afraid that Ye Zichen would agree and let her try everything in vain.

While everyone was looking at Ye Chenfeng enviously, Ye Chenfeng spoke. When he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Chen Yuan. However, I don't want to leave the Dark Nether Sect. I'm afraid I can't be your disciple anymore."

"He refused, he actually refused!"

Hearing that Ye Chenfeng had rejected Yue Chenyuan, everyone present was dumbfounded. They looked at him as if he was a monster, unable to figure out what was going through his mind.

Even Yue Chenyuan was stunned. He did not think that Ye Chenfeng would reject him at all, so he opened his mouth wide and did not say a word for a long time.

As for Shui You Ruo, her face was flushed red with excitement.

"Sovereign, let's go."

With that, Ye Chenfeng did not delay any further. Under Yue Chenyuan's darkening gaze, he left with the people from the Dark Nether Sect.

"Sect Master, I'm going to go into seclusion to rest. During this time, remember not to let anyone disturb me. I'm going to use all my strength to prepare for tomorrow's battle against the Black Stone Earth Extreme."

Ye Zichen immediately said as he followed the elated Serene Water back to the ancient courtyard.

"Don't worry, Mingwei. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone disturb you."

Ye Zichen rejected Yue Chenyuan's offer to take in a disciple in front of everyone, causing Shui You Ruo to be overjoyed. She was completely at ease with him, and looked at him flirtatiously as she guaranteed with a smile that was like a flower.

After returning to the old house that he had just settled in, Ye Zichen immediately set up an array formation to seal the old house, then used the Soul Devouring Secret Art to restrain his aura. He then quietly left through the hole he dug in the ground.

Around half an hour later, Ye Chenfeng appeared in a remote corner of the Holy Land of Dragon Abyss. After repeatedly checking that there were no abnormalities in his surroundings, he quickly dug out of the cave and quietly headed to the Desolate Stone Palace.

After several twists and turns, under Ye Chen's powerful soul perception, he finally entered the abandoned stone hall and entered the mysterious space underneath the stone hall.

"As expected, the sword tablet is about to break."

As he looked at the surface of the Dao tablet that was filled with spiderweb-like cracks, Ye Zichen knew that there wasn't much time left for him to understand the Dao intent of the sword. He immediately calmed down and controlled the mind devouring to emit a large amount of soul power that seeped into the sword monument to speed up his comprehension.

Thirty-six sword marks. Thirty-seven. Thirty-eight …

Ye Zichen was like a statue as he sat cross-legged for more than eight hours. When he finished imprinting the thirty-eighth sword mark in his mind, a strange heartbeat sounded out once again.

In the next moment, pitch-black demonic energy gushed out from beneath the Sword Dao Tablet. It was like a surging tide that flooded into the Sword Dao Tablet.

"Buzz buzz buzz …"

When the magic properties appeared, the mysterious sword that was inserted into the sword monument continued to combine with the sword monument's power to counterattack, interrupting Ye Zichen from comprehending the sword intent.

"Kacha kacha!"

After the mysterious sword fiercely clashed with his magic power for an entire incense stick of time, clear cracking sounds began to ring out from within the sword tablet.

As the two terrifying forces continued to repel each other, the sword tablet continued to collapse. Black demonic qi that caused one to tremble with fear seeped out from the cracks on the sword monument and filled the air.

After about an hour, the amount of magic essence was once again crushed by the mysterious sword, and the strange heartbeat followed it and disappeared.

However, this time, the sword tablet had already shattered and was on the verge of breaking. Ye Chen had a feeling that the next time the magic properties appeared, the sword tablet would very likely completely shatter.

But at this moment, he was only two lines short of comprehending the Sword Truth to the 4th Heavenly Layer. He decided to take the risk and continue on with his comprehension until the 40 sword patterns were completely engraved into the mind devouring god's brain, before forcefully pulling out the mysterious sword and leaving this place of great danger.

"Thirty-nine sword-arts marks. I only need one more sword-art mark to succeed."

Ye Zichen removed all the distracting thoughts from his mind and studied it for another two hours. Then, the deductive mind imprinted another sword pattern, which was only one step away from the fourth sky of the way of the sword.

But at this moment, a strange heartbeat sounded out once more, causing the shattered sword tablets to tremble.

"Godeater Brain, speed up the deduction!"

Ye Zichen took a deep breath and suppressed the unease in his heart, while controlling the Godeater's Brain to race every second to seal the fortieth Dao of the Sword.

Just as the weird heartbeat became faster and faster, and the terrifying amount of magic properties appeared once again, the Godeater's Brain finally carved the 40th Sword Mark.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Chenfeng immediately opened his eyes and flew up into the sky, standing on the shattered sword monument. He bit his finger and held the moving mysterious sword tightly, allowing the blood from his finger to merge with the blade.

"Open!"

The mysterious sword fused with the large amount of blood, causing Ye Zichen to quickly form thirty sword patterns and pour them into the mysterious sword. His arms exploded with ten million pounds of force, forcefully pulling the mysterious sword out of the shattered Dao tablet.

"Boom!"

The moment the mysterious sword was pulled out by Ye Zichen, a horrifying energy surged out from the sword tablet, shattering the tablet and revealing a pitch black demon heart that was emitting an endless demonic aura.

"Heaven and Earth Mirror, return."

With the appearance of the strange devil heart, Ye Zichen immediately became restless, and put away the mysterious sword that was trying to escape his control into the Heaven and Earth Mirror, before flying into the mysterious space at an extremely fast speed.

"Aooo!"

When the Void Swallowing Worm bit through the spatial restrictions and Ye Chonglou left the mysterious space, a deafening roar that could pierce through clouds and rocks was released from the devil's heart. The terrifying sound directly caused the space to collapse, causing the entire Dragon Abyss Holy City to tremble.
