The best medical god in the city

Chapter 12514 Ready to go
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen steadied himself, refined some rare and precious materials to restore his spiritual energy, and then flashed through the spatial gate.

After passing through the portal, Ye Chen finally arrived at the mountaintop.

The wind howled and thunder roared on the mountaintop, the fierce wind blowing and making his robes flutter.

There were thousands of flying swords swirling and dancing in the sky above the mountaintop, a truly magnificent sight.

These flying swords were all formed from the Sword Emperor's sword intent, and they were as solid as a physical object.

Ye Chen saw three sword spirits, one in front and two behind, all with their eyes closed, their bodies several feet tall, majestic and awe-inspiring, and their appearances exactly the same.

"Heavenly Fighting God of Slaughter?"

Ye Chen stared in astonishment at the three sword spirits standing before him. All three sword spirits resembled the Heavenly Fighting God of Slaughter.

Do not!
He instantly realized that it wasn't the God of Slaughter from Heaven, but the Sword Emperor!

"Are these three sword spirits the incarnations of the Sword Emperor?"

Ye Chen sensed a sharp and fierce sword aura from the three sword spirits, and dared not be negligent. He also drew his Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and waited with focused attention.

These three sword spirits are identical in height and appearance, but their temperaments are completely different.

The leading sword spirit was like an emperor, its body radiating golden light. Even with its eyes closed, it exuded a hidden domineering and majestic aura.

Behind them were two sword spirits, one black and one white. The black one was surrounded by the abyss's aura, while the white one was protected by holy light.

The three sword spirits had distinct auras, and behind them was a stone chamber with its door tightly closed.

With his keen insight into cause and effect, Ye Chen could vaguely glimpse past celestial secrets; this stone chamber was once the residence of the Sword Emperor.

The Sword Emperor of yesteryear apparently cultivated in a stone chamber, but then suffered a qi deviation, died on the spot, and his soul fell into the abyss sea.

Ye Chen knew that for countless years, the Sword Emperor had been trying to climb out of the abyss. Although he had not succeeded, it could not be said that he had completely failed.

At least for now, there are three sword souls with special auras in front of Ye Chen, all of which seem to be incarnations of the Sword Emperor.

"Senior Sword Emperor, can you hear my voice?"

“I heed your call, I have come.”

Ye Chen spoke, attempting to communicate with the Sword Emperor.

He has now reached the mountaintop, but Yunzhou Jun and the others outside are unaware of it.

But the secrets of heaven have been revealed, and it won't be long before Lord Yunzhou discovers everything.

Ye Chen only wanted to obtain the Sword Emperor's inheritance before the secret was revealed.

"Lord of Samsara."

Shortly after Ye Chen's voice fell, the leader of the three sword souls suddenly opened its eyes.

When the sword spirit opened its eyes, it was as if an emperor had awakened, with golden light shining brightly, and an aura of domineering pride and ambition that looked down upon the world emanated from the sword spirit's eyes.

This domineering aura, this heroic spirit, this majesty—if an ordinary martial artist were to meet this gaze, they would be so frightened that they would immediately kneel down.

But Ye Chen remained fearless, his body unwavering. Upon seeing the sword spirit open its eyes, he was overjoyed, cupped his hands in greeting, and called out, "Senior Sword Emperor!"

Sword Soul paused, squinted at Ye Chen, and then nodded approvingly:

“Not bad, not bad, your Dao heart is strong enough that you remain unshaken even when glanced at by my sword soul avatar.”

After a pause, the Sword Emperor's sword spirit avatar hesitated, "However, your cultivation is only at the middle stage of the sixth level of the Burning Lamp Realm. Even if your Dao Heart is strong, if your cultivation is insufficient, I'm afraid you will find it difficult to take over my authority."

Ye Chen said, "It's alright, senior. Please rest assured. I have inherited countless divine powers. Inheriting your divine powers now should not be a difficult task."

He only wanted to obtain the Sword Emperor's inheritance as soon as possible to improve his swordsmanship.

Even if he can't refine the Sword Emperor's divine authority today, he still has to take it with him to prevent it from being stolen by someone else.

The Sword Emperor shook his head and said, "My path is the supreme sword path, which is different from ordinary divine authority."

"The sword is a weapon of slaughter, capable of cutting down all under heaven."

"If you want to inherit my Dao, you must first endure the slaying of countless sword energies. You cannot bear such pain."

"Go back, Lord of Reincarnation. Come back when you reach the Abyss Realm."

The Sword Emperor did not pass on his legacy to Ye Chen.

In his eyes, Ye Chen's cultivation level was not up to par, and he did not want to kill Ye Chen.

After all, he and Ye Chen were actually master and disciple. His former incarnation, the God of Heavenly Struggle, had a close relationship with Ye Chen.

"You must at least reach the Abyss Realm before you are qualified to inherit my Dao and save me."

The Sword Emperor looked directly at Ye Chen and spoke again.

To inherit his swordsmanship and the name of the Sword Emperor is tantamount to becoming his scapegoat.

He can be freed and saved, but his successor will be plunged into boundless suffering.

It wasn't just the pain of the Heaven-Burning Calamity, but also the pain of being slashed by ten thousand swords.

Ye Chen was surprised that the Sword Emperor would refuse him. He stepped forward and said:
"Senior Sword Emperor, you summoned me here, are you now telling me to leave?"

The Sword Emperor shook his head and said, "That call is not my true voice. It is a demonic sound emanating from the accumulated pain and resentment of my past years."

“I’ve always wanted to find a scapegoat. To be honest, deep down I do want you to inherit my path and serve as my scapegoat.”

“But I cannot, I cannot harm you, Lord of Reincarnation.”

Ye Chen said urgently, "Senior Sword Emperor, there's no time. There are still people from the Yin Yang Divine Dao Sect outside. Do you really want to give the inheritance to them?"

"Give it to me! I can afford it!"

Seeing Ye Chen's resolute gaze, the Sword Emperor's expression became somewhat complicated. After a moment's hesitation, he finally sighed and said:
"My path can be divided into the Abyss Sword Path, the Annihilation Sword Path, and the Emperor Sword Path."

"The Abyss is the severing of the abyss."

"To extinguish light is to extinguish the light itself."

"The Emperor is one who transcends the beginning and the abyss, becoming the supreme 'Emperor'."

"These three sword paths represent the culmination of my life's work. I have paved the way, but in truth, even I have never reached the end of the path."

He sighed again: "The Abyss, the Extinction Light, and the Emperor—none of them have it easy!"

"However, my path is not wrong."

"The way of the sword should be like this: its sharpness fully revealed, its power to extinguish all light in the abyss, cutting down everything, and with the sword in hand, ascending to the peak and becoming an emperor!"

After hearing the Sword Emperor's words, Ye Chen felt a surge of excitement. He looked at the three sword spirits before him and said:
"So, these three sword souls represent your three sword paths, Sword Emperor?"

The Sword Emperor said, "That's right! Which of these three sword paths do you wish to inherit?"

Ye Chen blurted out, "I want them all!"

The Sword Emperor chuckled and said, "You're courting death. With your cultivation at the mid-stage of the sixth level of the Burning Lamp Realm, you can't withstand the pressure of my three sword paths."

"I'll give you a chance to challenge me. Choose a sword spirit avatar. If you can win the challenge, you can devour the sword spirit avatar and naturally inherit my sword path."

Ye Chen asked, "Challenge the Sword Soul?"

He looked at the three sword spirit avatars. The one speaking to him now was naturally the sword spirit of the Emperor's Sword Path. The remaining two, the black one should be the Abyss Sword Spirit, and the white one is the Extinction Light Sword Spirit.

Ye Chen really wanted to say that he wanted all three sword souls to come at him at once, and all three sword paths!

But if you say that, the Sword Emperor will definitely not agree.

If he wants to inherit the Sword Emperor's entire sword path, he must first prove his strength.

"I challenge the Soul of the Abyss Sword!"

Without hesitation, Ye Chen made his choice based on instinct.

"it is good."

Sword Emperor was also quick to speak his mind; he stepped back a few paces and stood to the side.

The next instant, his Abyss Sword Soul avatar opened its eyes.

The moment the Insulating Sword Soul opened its eyes, an aura of boundless darkness instantly swept out, with wisps of black mist spreading like a tide, quickly turning the surrounding space into a dark and oppressive place.

"Lord of Reincarnation, my incarnation wields the sword of the abyss, forging darkness as the path, using the sword of the abyss to annihilate the abyss. My swordsmanship emphasizes ferocity and ruthlessness, killing without mercy."

"Have you thought this through? I won't hold back. If you fail the challenge, you will die!"

The Sword Emperor's Abyss Sword Soul spoke, its voice incredibly cold.

His Emperor Sword Soul avatar, standing beside him with its arms crossed, also spoke:

"Lord of Reincarnation, you have one last chance to leave safely."

"No need, come on!" Ye Chen was very decisive. Without saying a word, he swung his sword and attacked first, taking the initiative. The Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword slashed at the Abyss Sword Soul.

"Heavenly Battle Great Slaughtering Sword!"

A crimson sword light, as if tempered with blood, erupted from Ye Chen's Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, advancing relentlessly with domineering momentum.

This Heavenly Battle Great Slaughter Sword is the sword technique of the former Heavenly Battle God of Slaughter. Now, when Ye Chen uses it in the Heavenly Punishment Meteor Dust Peak, he can mobilize the omnipresent killing sword intent here, and the power of the sword is multiplied.

"Abyss Blood Fiend Slash!"

The Soul of the Abyss Sword also drew its sword, unleashing a blood-red sword light that slashed towards them—this was the killing move of the Abyss Sword Dao.

To sever the abyss, one must be darker, bloodier, and more violent than the abyss itself, using darkness to punish darkness.

This is the way of the Sword Emperor!
The Sword Soul of the Abyss was engulfed in a crimson light, as if real blood were burning within it.

With a hiss, the two sword lights collided, and Ye Chen's Heavenly Battle Great Slaughter Sword was instantly shattered by the Abyss Sword Soul.

The dark and bloody abyssal sword intent suddenly surged towards Ye Chen.

This abyssal sword intent is fierce and brutal, carrying overwhelming abyssal pressure. It uses the abyss to suppress the abyss, making it extremely terrifying.

If an ordinary martial artist were to be struck by the Abyss Sword Intent, they would instantly be plunged into darkness and panic, and their Dao heart might even shatter.

Even with Ye Chen's strong Dao heart, after being impacted by the Abyss Sword Intent, his spirit felt a tearing pain, as if an endless abyss and boiling blood were exploding in his mind, and all sorts of negative emotions surged up.

"Death, twilight!"

Ye Chen made a swift decision: if he was impacted by the abyss, he would fight back with even darker, more abyssal power.

This is the very essence of the Dao of the Abyss Sword Dao.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen took a step back the instant he was struck by the darkness, and violently activated the Divine Authority of Death and the Divine Authority of Twilight.

The aura of death and twilight rapidly spread throughout the area, forming a unique domain. Within this domain, the twilight of the gods was in full swing, with mournful songs and sighs emanating from the void. The radiance of twilight and the shadow of death mingled, ultimately forming a strange image of a young girl behind Ye Chen.

The girl's appearance resembled the dawn, but was filled with the eerie atmosphere of dusk.

This is the Dharma Form of Death created by the fusion of Ye Chen's Death Divine Authority and Twilight Divine Authority.

"Twilight Slash of the World!"

Ye Chen drew his sword again, the aura of dusk and death converging into a dim yellow sword light, coated with a layer of black radiance, slashing across the sky towards the Sword Soul of the Abyss.

The aura of twilight and death exploded, plunging the world into darkness. The sword soul devouring array that originally surrounded the mountaintop suddenly weakened, and then the array light went out, with all the sword souls sinking into the depths of the earth's veins.

The formation has been broken!
The fortress is most easily breached from the inside; if it were from the outside, breaking through this Sword Soul Devouring Array would be no easy task.

However, inside, the formation was directly broken by the impact of Ye Chen's powerful sword energy.

This was also Ye Chen's Ash World Twilight Slash. The aura of death and twilight was so terrifying that it could destroy the world and bring everything to silence.

The Sword Emperor trembled as he saw the sword light of Ye Chen's death at dusk slash down, directly cleaving his Abyss Sword Soul in two.

In terms of the Way of the Abyss and the dark, negative power, Ye Chen is the true Grandmaster, the true Dark God!

After slaying the Abyss Sword Soul, Ye Chen grabbed it from a distance and used the Samsara Technique to absorb it, instantly refining it.

As Ye Chen refined the Abyss Sword Soul, he felt the energy of the rolling dark abyss explode within his body, like a dark volcano erupting. However, what erupted was not magma, but countless surging dark sword intents.

Ye Chen closed his eyes, and many insights came to his mind.

He quickly absorbed the Sword Emperor's Abyss Sword Dao.

Darkness, death, twilight, abyss, fatal blow, tyranny, demonic path, evil... countless bizarre Taoist techniques surged in Ye Chen's mind, eventually transforming into sword energy.

Hundreds of dark sword energies emerged from his body, swirling and whistling around him.

His own sword and demonic arts were already incredibly powerful. Now, having inherited the Sword Emperor's Absolute Abyss Sword Dao, the two arts reinforced each other, and his arts made a great breakthrough.

hum!
Ye Chen's body hummed, and amidst hundreds of black sword energies, he unleashed a dazzling brilliance, advancing his cultivation to the sixth level of the Burning Lamp Realm.

At this moment, at the entrance to the mountaintop, Yun Zhoujun and a group of disciples from the Lu Dao Sect were all taken aback when they suddenly saw the formation break and the wind, thunder, and mist dissipate.

They saw the scene on the mountaintop: the Sword Emperor's imperial incarnation and the Annihilation Incarnation, their sword intent solemn and dazzling.

Even more dazzling than the Sword Emperor is Ye Chen!

Having inherited the Absolute Abyss Sword Dao and further advanced his cultivation, Ye Chen was radiating light. Amidst hundreds of black sword energies, a torrent of golden light burst forth, and the aura of death and twilight lingered around him.

All of this made Ye Chen look like a sword-wielding death god who controlled the end of the world!

"The Lord of Reincarnation, how could this be..."

Yunzhou was stunned on the spot, never expecting to see Ye Chen here.

Ye Chen's aura of a swordsmanship grim reaper was enough to make him tremble with fear.

He glimpsed the secrets of heaven and roughly understood that Ye Chen had secretly stepped onto the mountaintop before him and passed the Sword Emperor's test.

Ye Chen has already obtained one of the three sword techniques inherited from the Sword Emperor!
Ye Chen ignored Yun Zhoujun, his mind immersed in the profound mystery of enlightenment. His gaze suddenly turned to the stone chamber in front of him.

I could vaguely sense something.

“Senior Sword Emperor, your true inheritance is not these three sword paths, but there are even more powerful sword paths.”

"Is something hidden in this stone house?"

Ye Chen looked at the Sword Emperor's imperial avatar and asked.

After inheriting the Sword Emperor's Abyss Sword Dao, his perception of the cause and effect related to the Sword Emperor became even more acute.

Ye Chen clearly sensed that there was an even more powerful sword path besides the three sword paths of Abyss, Annihilation, and Emperor!

The Sword Emperor is hiding something; he still has a trump card up his sleeve!
It surpasses the Abyss, surpasses the Extinction Light, surpasses the Emperor's swordsmanship!

Ye Chen was greatly intrigued and eager to know what the Sword Emperor's hidden sword path was.

The Sword Emperor also glanced at the stone chamber, shook his head helplessly with a smile, and said:
"Good lad, you have a sharp eye; you've actually glimpsed my hidden swordsmanship?"

"However, that swordsmanship is too dangerous, so I cannot pass it on to you yet."

"You should deal with the immediate problem first."

As he spoke, the Sword Emperor glanced at Yunzhou Jun and the others.

Yunzhou Jun and his group had already quickly stepped onto the mountaintop, looking at Ye Chen with considerable vigilance.

"Lord of Reincarnation, our Slaughtering Dao Sect went to great lengths to break through the Heavenly Punishment Dust Peak's restrictions, suffering dozens of casualties in the process. Yet you sneaked in without uttering a sound, not even giving a heads-up. You are far too disrespectful to our Slaughtering Dao Sect!"

Yun Zhoujun stepped forward, his face twitching slightly as he stared at Ye Chen.

He had paid a heavy price to break through the inheritance of the Heavenly Punishment Dust Peak these past few days, but now Ye Chen had taken advantage of him, even stealing one of the Sword Emperor's three inheritances.

Yunzhou was filled with rage.

"Then what do you want?"

Ye Chen sensed the hostility in Yun Zhoujun's tone and became wary.

Yunzhou Jun snorted and said, "Kneel down! Hand over all your Daoist inheritances, and I might spare your life!"

As a disciple of the Slaughtering Dao Sect, his path was one of killing and seizing the Dao techniques of others.

He could clearly see countless Dao traces on Ye Chen's body.

If one could seize Ye Chen's Dao, it would be like becoming rich overnight and ascending to immortality in broad daylight.

However, Yunzhou Jun was still quite clear-headed. He knew that Ye Chen was not easy to deal with, so he did not make a direct move, but only forced Ye Chen to hand over the Dao technique.

Behind him, many disciples of the Luodao Sect stepped forward, drew their swords, and prepared to attack.
