Chapter 351 - The True Meaning of the Sword of Regicide and Patricide

Chapter 351: Chapter 350: The True Meaning of the Sword of Regicide and PatricideXiao Ya’s quick and strong absorption capability was something Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected, and the girl’s resilience also greatly impressed him. Of course, Xiao Ya was extremely curious about superpower skills, even asking Ye Tianchen to demonstrate various other superpower skills, which somewhat left Ye Tianchen between laughter and tears.

This was a superpower skill, a technique for fighting and defending. On a small scale, it could protect oneself, and on a larger scale, it could destroy heavens and obliterate earth. Yet now, Xiao Ya treated it like a circus performance, wanting a free show. Ye Tianchen felt quite depressed, but seeing Xiao Ya so happy, a rare smile after her mother’s death, made him very happy. So he performed a few more superpower skills for her, of course only the smaller ones. The larger ones had too strong a destructive power and consumed too much superpower, so they couldn’t be used for performances.

As Ye Tianchen performed these superpower skills, Xiao Ya watched intently, her eyes filled with curiosity and also a comprehension of a kind of superpower skill, which surprised Ye Tianchen. Could it be that Xiao Ya had an extraordinary understanding of superpower skills?

"Alright, Yaer, isn’t it time for some midnight snacks?"

Ye Tianchen had first subdued the Taie Sword, then had a fierce battle with Blood Mist. Not only was his superpower drained, but also his physical strength. Now, after performing superpower skills for Xiao Ya, he felt extremely hungry, so he couldn’t help but say with a wry smile.

"You’re hungry? Then I will go cook some noodles for you. Although they are not very delicious, they should fill you up!" Xiao Ya stood up and said very tenderly.

"Mmm, add a bit more chili, I’ll be right back!" Ye Tianchen nodded his head. Being with Xiao Ya also gave him a feeling of home, a feeling that Ye Tianchen cherished. If anyone dared to disrupt this, he would kill them, absolutely.

The happiest thing in life is to be with the one you love, to work from sunrise to sunset, to walk together in the evening, to experience together every little aspect of life, to grow old together, until you can’t go anywhere anymore, to always cuddle together from the beginning to the end. That kind of happiness is something many people never get to experience in their lifetime.

Xiao Ya walked into the kitchen to prepare the midnight snack, while Ye Tianchen didn’t delay. He stepped out of the villa and came back to the swimming pool in the backyard. His expression was very serious and solemn. The Taie Sword and the Fish Intestine Sword, two of the ancient top ten Divine Swords, were still trembling. Blood Mist still stood on the ground, his head pierced from top to bottom by the Taie Sword, standing upright unabated, and his whole figure was still enveloped in a layer of blood mist, his true visage unseen. But Ye Tianchen, who had long extended his superpower perception, saw Blood Mist’s true face, and what surprised him was that Blood Mist seemed to be only a little over thirty years; his combat strength was so great that even in death, the surrounding blood mist would not dissipate. It seemed he had refined this blood mist into his body to achieve such an effect.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen’s right-hand index and middle fingers came together and hooked, and the Taie Sword burst out from Blood Mist’s head, its might overwhelming, especially as the entire blade was covered in fresh blood, seeming as if it hadn’t tasted blood in a long time. That restless and frenzied aura was something Ye Tianchen could feel. He used his superpower to wipe off the blood mist from the blade’s surface and collected it.

Who would have thought, just after Ye Tianchen took away the Taie Sword, Blood Mist’s entire body burst open, turning into a real blood mist, scattering with the wind. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be stunned, then revealed a slight smile and said, "Perhaps you had already anticipated this outcome, you are indeed a master worthy of respect!"

Blood Mist died, leaving no corpse behind. This was his own choice. Originally, Ye Tianchen wanted to properly bury Blood Mist, but since Blood Mist had already prepared for his own death, he let it be.

Having admired the sky for a long time, Ye Tianchen was in awe of the expert known as Blood Mist. At the same time, he was also pondering something. The breakthrough in one’s strength and realm heavily relies on the understanding of one’s mental state, which is crucial. Many experts strive throughout their lives to reach a kind of ethereal mental realm, which not only enhances their own strength but also benefits their entire cultivation journey significantly. However, entering such a state not only requires one’s own strength and perception, but also some opportunities. Before becoming a Divine-level Superpower User in the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had once accidentally entered such an ethereal state, which was quite wondrous. This world, or rather this dream-like state, held many triggers. Yet, during his life on the apocalypse planet, Ye Tianchen only had this one opportunity and could never enter it again. His realm of strength also halted at the basic Divine-level Superpower User, never advancing again, unable to reach the true Supreme Strong at the Emperor Level Realm.

After watching Blood Mist’s corpse dissolve into a cloud of blood mist and vanish, Ye Tianchen put away the Taie Sword, making it disappear into thin air. This was merely a use of a basic Superpower Skill. Inside every Superpower User’s body is a storage space, whose location can be anywhere the Superpower User chooses. This space has the capacity to store anything, varying in strength and size, largely depending on the user’s power. It is said that Emperor-level Experts can destroy heavens and earth, and even if their weapons were placed billions of miles away in the depths of space, a mere gesture would bring their weapons instantly to them. This is the power of true experts; nothing is impossible for them, except Eternal Life. Of course, whether any Supreme Strong has achieved Immortality remains unknown and also something that still needs to be explored.

"Fish Intestine Sword, the sword of regicide and patricide that performs all acts of annihilation, why does such a weapon still exist in the world, why not destroy it?" Ye Tianchen looked at the Fish Intestine Sword nailed to a nearby large stone pillar, feeling an urge to destroy the sword. A sword of regicide and patricide is an evil sword, a sword without humanity. Even the most innocent person would become extremely evil upon acquiring it, potentially leading to senseless slaughter.

Little did he know, as Ye Tianchen approached the Fish Intestine Sword and gathered the most potent superpower in his right hand to destroy it, the sword which was stuck in the large stone pillar began trembling violently, as if trying to flee. It seemed to sense Ye Tianchen’s intention to destroy it and was trying to break free.

However, Ye Tianchen felt incredibly powerful at that moment and sensed the evil of the sword. It was a weapon that should not remain in the world. Curiously thinking about the legendary figure who once owned the ten ancient Divine Swords, this person shouldn’t have been evil. Otherwise, as one of the strongest in the universe, what evil could they not achieve? But why did he allow the creation of the Fish Intestine Sword and kept it all along, even making it part of the ancient ten-sword array?

"I don’t care what story you have; I will destroy you. Sword of regicide and patricide, I will definitely not keep it!"

As he spoke, Ye Tianchen’s right hand formed a giant ball of superpower energy, striking towards the Fish Intestine Sword. But just as it was about to destroy the sword, Ye Tianchen suddenly felt disturbed and witnessed an incredible scene, as if replaying events from an ancient era.

The first scene: This was a village chief with the absolute authority to kill within his village. In pursuit of more wealth and life force, seeking Immortality, he planned to exchange all the babies in his village with a Taoist, slaughtering them. When his son discovered this conspiracy, he sought to save the infants and their tiny lives. On a stormy night, he took out a dagger from his ancestral box, which was the Fish Intestine Sword and personally killed his father. The son also used the Fish Intestine Sword to commit suicide that same night, and the sword mysteriously disappeared.

The second scene: This involved a tyrant who committed all forms of evil, brutally and unmercifully mistreating his people as if they were mere animals, killing at a whim if displeased, and abusing any woman he fancied. The people were miserable and lamented constantly. At this time, a loyal old servant, holding the Fish Intestine Sword, entered the Imperial Palace and killed the tyrant. This servant, a loyal family member for generations, also died by suicide in the palace after killing his own master. The Fish Intestine Sword emitted a mournful wail, seemingly unwilling to act this way and despondent about the outcome, then mysteriously disappeared again.

These two scenarios appeared before Ye Tianchen, taking him by surprise. Ye Tianchen wouldn’t doubt their authenticity since he felt his brain wasn’t affected, meaning these weren’t illusions but rather the Fish Intestine Sword acting on its own to reveal the truth to him.

"It seems that the Sword of regicide and patricide isn’t a sword of cruelty but a sword that sacrifices itself for the lives of others and the common good," Ye Tianchen mused aloud.

At that moment, the Fish Intestine Sword suddenly detached itself from the large stone pillar. It didn’t disappear but floated in front of Ye Tianchen as if trying to make amends. Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and gently grabbed the handle of the Fish Intestine Sword. A surge of his own superpower flowed into the sword, and this time, it entered without any resistance. Inside the blade, there still existed a silhouette, identical to the one inside the Taie Sword... (To be continued.
