The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chen tide remained silent, her delicate hands clenched tightly, her bright, beautiful eyes also brimming with anticipation.

"Such a celestial phenomenon could only be triggered by a Sword Emperor-level expert; it must be him."

"But if that's the case, the gap between us and him is widening..."

Su Qingxue regained her senses slightly. While she was happy for Ye Feng, she was also worried, or rather, panicked.

The Sword Continent is merely a lower plane within the Great Thousand Worlds. It can trap them, but it cannot trap Ye Feng. Even if the latter were to unseal this sealed world, with their strength, it would be difficult for them to travel to the Great Thousand Worlds.

"Even without cultivating sword energy, we still have a chance to reach the same level as our husband. We'll discuss everything when he returns..."

......

Above the azure sea.

The seven-colored glow slowly receded, eventually disappearing entirely into Ye Feng's body.

Ye Feng's aura gradually rose, and the five elements, yin and yang, and seven kinds of primordial sword energy formed a flawless cycle within his body, endlessly and inexhaustibly.

As time went by, Ye Feng could clearly perceive the substantial transformation of the power within his body, as well as the increasingly close connection between himself and this world.

That connection was extremely close, inseparable, or rather, a perfect match, as if he were this world, able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth into endless sword energy with a single thought.

"The Sword Emperor... has finally broken through..."

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes. A flash of seven-colored light appeared in his dark eyes and then returned to calm.

In a short moment, Ye Feng's aura was completely concealed. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary cultivator, but if someone were to perceive him closely, they would be able to discover the world-destroying power hidden beneath that calm surface.

With every gesture, the energy of heaven and earth moves at will; in the blink of an eye, one can stir up winds and clouds across vast distances.

"So that's how it is..."

Ye Feng's dark eyes flickered slightly, with sword shadows flashing within them, deep and vast, containing endless sharpness.

In that instant, he gained a great deal of insight into this world and the difference between his level of power and that of those below the Sword Emperor.

The sword energy cultivated by those at the Sword Emperor Realm can be called Emperor Sword Energy, while the Sword Emperor's sword energy is Emperor Sword Essence, which can mobilize the power of heaven and earth for its own use. The two are worlds apart.

"This world is indeed formed from an unparalleled divine sword..."

Ye Feng's gaze pierced through layers of space, looking at the overall structure and trends of the Sword Continent, and he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

After breaking through to the Sword Emperor realm, his divine sense perception increased more than a hundredfold, reaching an unprecedented level of awareness of this world.

The entire Sword Continent is shaped like a regular longsword, with a mountain range stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles in the center of the continent, known as the Sword Ridge.

The landmasses protruding at the east and west poles are the blade of the sword.

The fundamental forces that constitute this world are the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the two energies of yin and yang.

"The Five Elements and Yin-Yang, the foundation of Heaven and Earth, the Seven Swords returning to their source—only then can the path to becoming an emperor be forged..."

With a thoughtful expression, Ye Feng turned his gaze to the barrier at the edge of the world.

That place, the eternal barrier between heaven and earth, is no longer mysterious to him.

That barrier was less a barrier between heaven and earth and more a seal on the world itself, a seal that completely isolated the Sword Continent from the outside world.

"Such a feat is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary supreme experts in the vast world..."

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Using an entire continent as a sword to set up such an earth-shattering seal, such a method could probably only be accomplished by a powerhouse at the level of a Heavenly Sovereign, or even higher.

Fortunately, once you reach the Supreme Realm, you can break this seal and leave this world.

"call…"

Ye Feng calmed himself down a bit, and with a slight smile, he raised his right hand and gently clenched his fist.

In an instant, boundless energy from heaven and earth converged wildly, and seven-colored sword energy condensed from his palm, transforming into a transparent energy sword with flowing seven colors.

This sword, though formless, possesses an indescribable and terrifying power.

laugh!

Then Ye Feng raised his hand and gently slashed. Wherever the sword light passed, space shattered, and fine cracks in the void spread out, revealing the chaotic nothingness behind it.

"A sword formed from the power of the very origin of heaven and earth is indeed extraordinary in its power; it's worth a try..."

Ye Feng's mind stirred slightly. He raised his eyes to look at the barrier between heaven and earth in front of him and made another slash.

scoff!

The barrier between heaven and earth, which had existed for countless millennia and stretched across the ends of the earth, was torn open by Ye Feng's gentle stroke, creating a crack tens of feet long.

Beyond the rift lies an endless void of turbulent currents, a sight that sends chills down one's spine even at a glance.

In that instant, a surge of pure energy poured in from the void within the crack, causing Ye Feng's mind to tremble.

"The vast world..."

Ye Feng stared at the crack, a flicker of interest flashing in his eyes, but the next moment, it was replaced by a profound calm.

The creatures that have been trapped in this world for tens of thousands of years finally have the possibility of leaving this world, provided that they can withstand the spatial turbulence.

With his current strength, he can certainly take people to the vast world, but the risks involved are considerable.

Woohoo! Woohoo!

Before Ye Feng could think further, a strange sound came from the torn rift in the void, and then the rift began to slowly close.

In an instant, the surge of pure energy ceased.

"Only man-made sealing formations can heal automatically..."

Ye Feng gazed at the newly healed barrier between heaven and earth, his eyes thoughtful.

In that instant, he clearly sensed the vast and boundless world beyond the crack, and the energy surging in was fundamentally different from that of this world.

However, on this continent of swords, even external energy is transformed into sword energy, which is completely different from the legends and records passed down from ancient times.

The Sword Continent was once connected to the Great Thousand Worlds, and the beings of this world did cultivate spiritual energy long ago.

Could it be that the inhabitants of the Sword Continent are not originally from this land, but were moved here by humans from other continents, and that the people of this land are weak and unaware of this...?

As this thought surfaced in his mind, Ye Feng felt increasingly confident that his guess was very likely to come true.

In the ancient great war between heaven and earth, countless powerful beings from the vast world perished, and some continents were shattered and reduced to dust in that war.

If a top expert could not bear to see all the creatures under his command perish, it would not be impossible for him to use his great supernatural powers to move them and then set up a seal to isolate them from the outside world and protect them.

"This place seems to hold many secrets..."

Ye Feng didn't think too much about it and let out a soft breath.

Regardless of the truth of this world, with his current strength, he is far from capable of exploring those ancient secrets.

Although he has now broken through to the Sword Emperor realm, there are still things he needs to deal with in this world, and he also needs to practice in the Sword Pendant space within his body.

With his thoughts focused on the sword, Ye Feng glanced at the newly healed barrier between heaven and earth, then turned and took a step forward.

In the next instant, Ye Feng's figure appeared thousands of miles away.
