Chapter 330: Desperate Situation! Flying Sword!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ye Chen had no extra time to think when he sensed the deadly intent of the terrifying rays. He mobilized all his strength immediately.
Not only did he release all the True Qi of the eight Five Apertures Rotating Pills within his Qi Sea, but he also fully utilized the techniques of the Nine Transformation Fighting Body.
Around Ye Chen's body, the roaring True Qi had surged to an incredible level, compounded by the Nine Transformation Combat Law Pattern along with fire and earth divine techniques. His combat strength had undoubtedly reached the strongest level he could muster.
However, this maximum level of strength only managed to slightly stall those terrifying rays targeting him. Then, Ye Chen saw Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, who was controlling the black bead, moving again.
"My 'Great Destructive God Bead' is a superior sacred artifact, I myself can't even fully utilize it,"
"Ye Chen, your forcing me to use this bead means you should prepare to die!"
Amidst his roaring, Feng Lun Heavenly Saint fiercely spat a large mouthful of essence blood onto the black bead in his hand. Explore stories at empire
Under the gush of essence blood, Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's complexion turned deathly pale, his energy weakened by ninety percent. But the black bead in his hand emitted an even brighter sacred light!
In the midst of this intense sacred light, the black bead once again fired an even more terrifying Death Ray. Even the rays that Ye Chen had previously managed to block somewhat pierced through his defenses and headed crazily toward him again.
The entire heavens and earth, within a space spanning hundreds of yards, were completely covered by the lethal force of these Death Rays. Above and below, Ye Chen had nowhere to escape, absolutely unable to withstand this kind of Death Rays; his death was certain.
Death.
This was the first time Ye Chen truly felt he was going to die.
Ye Chen had numerous trump cards in his hand, even those left to him by a Heavenly Saint.
But facing this mid-stage Heavenly Saint-level deadly power, they were all now of no use.
What to do?!
In the instant the Death Rays pierced through Ye Chen's defenses and struck his body, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the fraction of a second, Ye Chen thought of the only method he could resort to.
Whoosh!
In an instant, from the sword-cavity between Ye Chen's eyebrows, a point of fiery red sword light suddenly burst forth.
Flying Sword!
This was, astonishingly, Ye Chen's Life-bound Flying Sword—the Crimson Fire Flying Sword!
The Crimson Fire Flying Sword, being an exceptional sacred artifact, would normally enable Ye Chen, with his current strength, to summon only early-stage Heavenly Saint-level combat power.
Early-stage Heavenly Saint-level combat power was equally unable to block the death-dealing strike of Feng Lun Heavenly Saint.
In this critical moment of life and death, Ye Chen wielding the Crimson Fire Flying Sword certainly wouldn't be just a simple invocation of the sword's normal combat power.
Crack! Crack!
As the Crimson Fire Flying Sword flew out, Ye Chen channeled all his focus into it. While doing so, the incredulous sound of the sword breaking could be heard.
The sound of the exceptional sacred artifact, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, breaking!
One could see that, on the small body of the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, there appeared eight fractures!
As the flying sword shattered, something even more unbelievable happened.
From the fractures of the sword body, a terrifyingly intense fiery red light surged forth.
This red light burst out from the sword body, as if it were revealing the true combat power of the flying sword!
When this fiery red light instantly enveloped Ye Chen, those Death Rays shooting towards him were completely annihilated by the red light!
As this fiery red light entered Ye Chen's body, he even felt like he suddenly possessed combat power that reached the mid-stage Heavenly Saint level!
The Life-bound Flying Sword was damaged.
In the instant the flying sword shattered, blocking the Death Ray's annihilating move, it was actually a technique Ye Chen had never used before—damaging the Life-bound Flying Sword!
At this critical moment of life and death, facing this unavoidable threat of demise, Ye Chen had no choice but to resort to his strongest trump card!
Back in the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, when Ye Chen obtained the flying sword "Crimson Fire," he was told by Heavenly Saint Qian Ji that the flying sword possessed three major powers.
The first power of the flying sword is its normal state, with only ordinary might; the second power, Life-bound Flying Sword damage, allows one to sacrifice the sword's quality to suddenly boost combat strength; lastly, the strongest power is to completely detonate the flying sword, releasing all of its might, reaching the apex of combat power!
Facing a mid-stage Heavenly Saint's attack that exceeded his defensive capabilities, Ye Chen had now used the second power of the flying sword that he had never used before, damaging the Life-bound Flying Sword!
The Crimson Fire Flying Sword, an exceptional holy artifact from the Sea God Palace in the Chaotic Sea Area, could even injure late-stage Heavenly Saints when truly detonated.
Previously, Ye Chen was unable to harness all of the flying sword's might, and even when detonating it, could not unleash much of its power.
But now, having ascended to the level of Heavenly Saint, Ye Chen could stimulate the power of his Life-bound Flying Sword to an unbelievable extent by damaging it.
Although Ye Chen did not fully detonate the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, by risking breaking it down and letting it fall into a complete slumber, he had a premonition that he could fend off the Death Ray's killing light with the Life-bound Flying Sword damage.
Indeed, just as Ye Chen had anticipated, when he damaged the Life-bound "Crimson Fire," relying on the sword's second power, he really managed to block Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's lethal move.
The power the Life-bound "Crimson Fire" infused into him after the damage shockingly reached the level of mid-stage Heavenly Saint combat strength!
It was a power capable of repelling the terrifying rays launched by the black beads of Feng Lun Heavenly Saint!
On the other side.
Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was completely incredulous at Ye Chen's move of damaging his Life-bound Flying Sword.
Feng Lun Heavenly Saint never expected that his strongest move, his ultimate card, and even the Great Destructive God Bead that he had stimulated at the cost of his vital blood, failed to kill Ye Chen!
What is this blaze of red light shooting out?
As he watched the red light that obliterated the Death Ray and flowed into Ye Chen, Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was somewhat flabbergasted.
Feng Lun Heavenly Saint no longer had any other means to make a move since Ye Chen could block even his strongest attack!
Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was shocked, but Ye Chen's mind was crystal clear.
Ye Chen glanced at his Life-bound Flying Sword "Crimson Fire." Being psychically connected to the Crimson Fire, he could of course sense the severe damage following the Life-bound damage.
The damage had left the flying sword on the brink of slumber.
Ye Chen certainly wouldn't allow the flying sword to be damaged and fall into slumber in vain.
"Crimson Fire, you've followed me, and I never expected you would have to be damaged so soon," he said.
"Rest assured, I will definitely restore you to your original state."
"Before that, let me take care of the culprit behind your damage!"
At this moment, having infused himself with the second battle power of the flying sword, Ye Chen, now possessing the strength of a mid-stage Heavenly Saint, looked directly at Feng Lun Heavenly Saint.
Ye Chen knew that the duration of the combat power provided by damaging the Life-bound Flying Sword was extremely brief; he couldn't waste time and had to deal with Feng Lun Heavenly Saint immediately!
Boom!
With a thought, Ye Chen stepped into the void toward Feng Lun Heavenly Saint.
At this moment, enveloped by the red light infused within him, Ye Chen also had a mystical red light swirling around him. The previously deadly Black Bead Annihilation Light that was a threat to Ye Chen now vanished the moment it touched him as he walked.
In half a breath, Ye Chen had broken through the void and arrived beside Feng Lun Heavenly Saint.
Then, with a grab of his enormous hand through the void, even the leading early-stage Heavenly Saint, Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, couldn't resist when he came to his senses and tried to defend. He was directly captured by Ye Chen.
