Ye Chen looked at everyone with a calm expression. He slowly stepped forward, and as he landed, the ground bloomed with fragrant grass and fresh flowers. Wherever he went, everything bloomed like spring.
Zi Wan and the others were shocked. It was hard to imagine what kind of power could cause flowers to bloom in the sand. This was simply beyond common sense and went against logic!
However, only the middle-aged man beside her knew that this was not a true creation of plant life, but a type of illusion!
An ordinary assassin would feel a sharp knife against their neck and their entire body stiffen. This was a type of aura, an illusion created by the signals emitted by the opponent's brain.
At this moment, Zi Wan and the others were confused by the signals emitted by Ye Chen's brain. Their minds were shaken, and they felt a sense of worship and reverence. They wanted to prostrate themselves in worship.
With a thought, Ye Chen retracted his aura and the light of wisdom behind his head slowly dissipated. In the eyes of others, he was still full of kindness, generosity, and love. He was like a benevolent person!
Ye Chen did not look at the others and directly walked to the side of the bridge. It was as if everything between heaven and earth was an external object. He struggled free from the layers of confusion and confusion. Wrapped in the mysterious energy of the jade disc, he traveled through time and space, roaming the universe. His comprehension was deep, and at the last moment, he saw an image that made him complete.
In that image, a ninety thousand zhang long black feathered bird flew across the sky and into the distance. Wherever it passed, it would leap from meteorite to meteorite. Its figure was graceful, as if it was taking a stroll in the park. That scene was deeply imprinted in his mind, and it solved many of the doubts in his body. It was as if he had transformed into a flying bird that broke through the fog and went straight to his heart!
Ye Chen looked at the other side of the bridge. There was a tall and majestic longsword that was like a divine peak piercing the sky. He took a deep breath and took a step forward, landing on the bridge. Instantly, he felt a surge of baleful aura rolling in his body. Moreover, there was a strong resistance on the other side of the bridge that wanted to force him out.
Ye Chen's expression was calm. With a thought, he crushed the baleful aura in his body. He did not stop at all and continued to walk forward. With every step, the baleful aura in his body became denser. However, it was all purified under the majestic power of his spirit.
Six steps in a row!
When Zi Wan and the others saw how effortless Ye Chen was, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Huang Cang said solemnly, "Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid his mental state cultivation is even higher than Zi Wan's. I'm afraid he can reach the ninth step, or even the tenth step!"
"In the past three months, I have never seen him challenge it even once. I didn't expect his state of mind to be so firm." Huang Bingbing exclaimed.
Huang Feng was a little proud as he laughed, "This brother of mine is usually very low-key, haha …"
Huang Jian glanced at him and did not say anything.
At this time, Ye Chen took his seventh step. Mist flashed in front of him and he arrived at the top of a mountain. Another step and he would be at the bottom of a cliff. Cold wind blew from the bottom of the cliff.
Ye Chen looked down. It was pitch black inside the cliff. He stood still. Sand and stones fell off the cliff, but there was no sound.
A cool breeze blew on his face.
Just one step and he would be separated by life and death forever!
Ye Chen's expression was calm. Even though the scene in front of him was very real, it still couldn't stop him. He took a step and walked towards the void of the cliff. He didn't hold back his strength. He didn't even have the thought of stopping at the critical moment.
With this step, the surroundings changed. He reappeared on the Bridge of Souls and stood at the eighth step.
If he had hesitated in the illusion just now, he would have fallen into the illusion and fallen to the bottom of the cliff. His body would be smashed into pieces and he would suffer internal injuries.
Ordinary people would more or less have some hesitation in their hearts. If they missed a step and fell, they would be able to grab hold of the cliff in time and turn back. In this way, if they didn't believe that there was a path on the other side, they wouldn't be able to take that step!
Ye Chen had faced countless dangers in his life. Even when he was swallowed by a monster, he didn't panic. His state of mind was extremely firm. No danger could shake his mind. Therefore, he walked through it easily.
With the eighth step, the surroundings changed. Heaven and earth were dyed red. In front of him was a sea of blood. Countless monsters floated up from the sea of blood and rushed towards Ye Chen.
The smell of blood permeated his heart and spleen.
The rippling blood in the sea of blood splashed onto Ye Chen's arm. It was rather cold. His expression was normal, and his mind was calm. Facing the endless monsters, he took another step forward. The scene around him instantly collapsed and disappeared.
A tremendous resistance came from the other side. When he took the eighth step, the resistance was extraordinary. It was like a heavy stone pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe. Ye Chen recalled the Star Upanishad in his head. His muscles slightly contracted and moved in a small range to remove the resistance. Then, he took two more steps and broke the illusion of the ninth step. He reached the tenth step!
Zi Wan and the others saw Ye Chen cross the ninth step and land steadily on the tenth step. They couldn't help but be surprised. It should be known that the six Island Masters of the Internal Endless Sea could only stop here. Only the Purple Cloud Island Master, who was talented and smart, could reach the eleventh step. However, he had been stuck there for ten years!
"Can he walk through it?"
Huang Bingbing covered her red lips. She couldn't believe it. From the beginning to the end, she didn't see Ye Chen struggling at all. It seemed that these ten steps were easy for him.
Zi Wan's face was solemn. She stared at Ye Chen. She clenched her fists and sweat dripped down. If Ye Chen crossed the Bridge of Souls, he would receive the inheritance of the Divine Sword. From then on, they would have no hope of getting it, unless Ye Chen died!
The middle-aged man next to her had been solemn since the beginning. His eyes were twinkling. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, when Ye Chen reached the tenth step, a black hole suddenly appeared around him. Bai Lan rushed out and said anxiously, "Ye Chen, something bad has happened!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but turn around.
Bai Lan's face was pale. She said with a trembling voice, "The ruins of Guang Ming Base City have been discovered. The White Dragon, Mo Feng, and your sister fought with the monster, but … but they were all killed!"
Ye Chen's face slowly darkened. He slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, he took a deep breath and turned around. He ignored Bai Lan and took a step forward!
"Ye Chen, your sister was eaten by the monster. Why … why aren't you going to save her?" Bai Lan's voice was filled with grief and anger. However, as Ye Chen took a step forward, his figure disappeared.
"Bai Lan is in the Fire Civilization. I told her not to come out without permission. She's a robot after all. How could she disobey an order?"
Ye Chen's face was cold. When the phantom Bai Lan came out, he knew that everything was fake. Even so, when he heard the news about his sister, his heart still trembled.
After taking the first step, Ye Chen seemed to have walked into a fog. Behind him, laughter came.
"Little Chen Chen, what are you doing here?"
"Boss, come quickly. Let's go kill the monster!"
"Haha …"
Familiar voices sounded. Ye Chen could not help but slow down. He heard the White Dragon and the others behind him. He was silent for a moment. Then, he resolutely prepared to take a step forward. Suddenly, his body was hugged by a gentle little hand. Then, a soft voice sounded, "Brother …"
Ye Chen paused. After a long silence, he said, "Let go!"
Not only did the gentle little hand not let go, but it hugged him even tighter. "Brother, don't go …" It was a little delicate and pitiful.
Ye Chen was silent for a moment. He slowly raised his hand and moved her hand away. Then, he continued to walk forward. At this time, the laughter behind him suddenly turned into screams. The heart-wrenching roar was like a heavy hammer that hit Ye Chen's heart.
His body trembled slightly. His footsteps slowed down in mid-air. After a moment, he continued to walk forward. His steps were firm!
He walked to the twelfth step!
The surrounding scenery disappeared. A page stood in front of Ye Chen. He smiled and said, "Congratulations. You have reached this level. Your state of mind has met the requirements. You can accept the inheritance of the Godly Sword!"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He looked up and saw the Xuanyuan Godly Sword. It was majestic and towering. It was not something that could be held with one's hand. He could not help but ask, "How do I hold this Godly Sword?"
The page smiled and said, "The Godly Sword can be big or small. You only need to drip blood on it and you can control it. After that, I will take you to see the Dragon Emperor and ask him to personally teach you how to control the Godly Sword!"
Ye Chen nodded. He bit his finger and dripped blood. Suddenly, he felt as if there was something extra in his mind. With a thought, the Godly Sword shrunk to seven feet long and fell into his hand. The sword was golden all over. There was a five-clawed Golden Dragon Statue, revealing a noble and domineering aura.
"Right now, you are only the Godly Sword's slave. Only when you learn how to use it will you be considered the Godly Sword's true owner!"
The page smiled and said, "Come here three days later. I will bring you to see the Dragon Emperor. The method of using the Godly Sword is too complicated. It will take a long time. If you have any other matters, go and deal with them!" With that said, the page page disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Ye Chen lowered his head, looking at the Godly Sword in his hand. He gently stroked it. After a short while, he slowly turned around and walked towards the bridge of souls. He came to Huang Feng, Zi Wan, and the others' side.
Huang Feng and the others were stunned as they watched Ye Chen effortlessly obtain the Godly Sword. They were stunned for a long time. Then, Huang Feng smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that the Godly Sword would fall into your hands in the end."
Zi Wan sighed softly, saying, "Since it's so, it's fated. Let's celebrate and congratulate you on obtaining the Godly Sword!"
"That's right!"
"Let's go!"
Several people agreed. With a bitter smile, they turned around and walked away. The middle-aged man beside them nodded and said, "You've obtained the Godly Sword. Take these three days to relax. It will take a long time for you to receive the inheritance of using the Godly Sword. You won't have time to rest."
Ye Chen's expression remained the same, holding the Godly Sword in his hand, neither happy nor sad, he followed the group.
Soon, the news of Ye Chen obtaining the Godly Sword spread. Geniuses from various islands and Deities Templar's upper echelons came to congratulate Ye Chen, and a grand banquet was held.
Inside a spacious manor, Deities Templar's deacons, senior deacons, and Elders arrived to hold the banquet. There were many tables filled with wine and precious fruits. It was a joyous occasion.
In a quiet room, the Godly Sword was placed beside Ye Chen. He sat cross-legged, not looking at the Godly Sword. Instead, he looked outside with a worried expression.
… …
Was the Godly Sword so easy to obtain?
Take a guess, O (∩ _ ∩) O (to be continued).
