Chapter 410

Chapter 410: Chapter 409: The Ten Thousand Sword Formation is where the Xuanyuan Sword is hidden, within a different space inside the Xuanyuan Sword itself, forming a world of its own. There lies a place where ten thousand swords stand erect. According to what Sword Elder told Ye Tianchen, the Xuanyuan Sword is hidden among them, and at a glance, every sword within the formation appeared the same as the Xuanyuan Sword, making it enormously difficult to pinpoint the actual Xuanyuan Sword.

Of course, acquiring the Xuanyuan Sword isn’t as simple as just finding it. Sword Elder has warned Ye Tianchen that the moment he enters the formation to

Whiz!

Whiz!

Two faint sounds of sword chiming, the Taie Sword and the Fish Intestine Sword emerged autonomously from Ye Tianchen’s storage space and floated on his left and right sides, startling Sword Elder. He had indeed not guessed wrong; after Ye Tianchen entered, Sword Elder felt that Ye Tianchen possessed two exceptionally powerful Divine Swords. These two swords were different from the Xuanyuan Sword, forming a league of their own. It was hard to say which was more powerful. Being the world’s top Swordsmith, Sword Elder had a very strong sense of Sword Qi. He was amazed inside, Ye Tianchen indeed was a man of great fortune. The Taie Sword and Fish Intestine Sword, Sword Elder naturally recognized them; all ten ancient swords were Divine Swords with infinite power and even Zhang Yide could speculate that the ten ancient swords were originally a Sword Array. Sword Elder, having lived thousands of years ago, knew more secrets and wasn’t just speculating. Meeting Sword Elder was a joy for Ye Tianchen, for this old man was like a living history, hard to find someone like him on Earth.

For a whole day and night, Ye Tianchen sat immobile in front of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, with Sword Elder also staying by his side. Even though Sword Elder had been in this different space inside the Xuanyuan Sword for thousands of years, he still did not know which of the swords was the real Xuanyuan Sword. If he could have recognized it, there would have been no need to wait for Ye Tianchen to arrive.

"If you’re not sure, we can take our time to plan!" Sword Elder looked at Ye Tianchen, who was still with his eyes closed, and said.

"Sword Elder, some speculate that the ten ancient Divine Swords were originally a Sword Array and not from Earth. Is that true?" Ye Tianchen asked quietly, without opening his eyes.

Sword Elder was taken aback, unsure of the meaning or purpose of Ye Tianchen asking this at such a time, but still spoke, "I’m not sure about that. Each of the ten ancient swords is a Divine Sword. I’ve heard about it but how they came to Earth, I don’t know. I really don’t know who forged these ten swords, but I admire them immensely!"

"So, is it true that these ancient ten divine swords form a sword array?" Ye Tianchen continued to ask.

"It could be, or it might not be; these are just my guesses. I believe the chances that the ten ancient swords form a sword array are slim. Even if such a sword formation exists, it would be possessed by an emperor-level powerhouse, because each divine sword has its own power. It is almost impossible to determine which divine sword is the strongest. To think of them combining would require great mana and divine skills, such an incredible weapon, nobody would want to submit to another!" Sword Elder said after some thought.

"I understand, give me one more day!" After Ye Tianchen finished speaking, he once again focused his mind and spread it throughout the entire Ten Thousand Sword Formation, slowly contemplating, thinking bit by bit. He had already been sitting here in meditation for a day and a night, and although he had a slight idea, he still did not know which sword was the real Xuanyuan Sword.

After Ye Tianchen finished speaking, he again fell silent in meditation. Sword Elder still did not understand why this man was asking these questions and what purpose they served, but he did not disturb Ye Tianchen. Whether or not he could obtain the Xuanyuan Sword now depended solely on Ye Tianchen himself, and Sword Elder knew what he had to do.

Although Ye Tianchen said to give him one more day, he ended up sitting for three days and three nights. Sword Elder stood by his side all the while, also concentrating his spirit on searching. He did not want to wait any longer. Although he still had a strand of spiritual mark alive, living within the different space inside the Xuanyuan Sword for thousands of years, this could not go on forever. Moreover, Sword Elder had figured out many things. Now, the only thing he wanted to know was whether his wife and daughter who had gone to Emperor Star were still alive and if they were doing well!

Swish!

Suddenly, on the fifth day in front of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, Ye Tianchen suddenly opened his eyes, shooting two beams of golden light from them, immediately causing blood to flow from the corners of Ye Tianchen’s eyes. He was using his most powerful killing skill "Golden Eyes" to its maximum extent during these five days and nights. Ye Tianchen had not only concentrated his spirit on finding the location of the Xuanyuan Sword but was also accumulating and channeling all the powers in his body to unleash the most powerful strike of the "Golden Eyes."

The two golden beams shot out from Ye Tianchen’s eyes and instantaneously spread throughout the entire Ten Thousand Sword Formation, causing the formation to vibration with the sound of ten thousand swords chiming at once. Regardless of the burns in his eyes, Ye Tianchen widened them and quickly scanned with the golden beams, hoping to locate the exact position of the Xuanyuan Sword in this way.

Sword Elder, utterly astonished by the two beams of golden light, couldn’t help but stare blankly at Ye Tianchen. He truly hadn’t expected that the twenty-year-old Ye Tianchen would possess such a formidable slaughter skill. The power of the golden light that shot from his eyes was earth-shattering. Considering that Ye Tianchen was only at the peak strength of King-level Superpower Realm, to be able to exhibit such a slaughter skill to this extent was shocking. What would it be like if Ye Tianchen’s cultivation reached the Emperor or even the Divine Level?

Just by witnessing the golden beams shooting out from Ye Tianchen’s eyes, Sword Elder was incredibly surprised, and couldn’t help but look at Ye Tianchen with newfound respect. Initially, he thought Ye Tianchen was just a young man of great opportunity and intelligence, otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved such cultivation at his young age. Now his opinion had changed; he felt Ye Tianchen’s potential was immeasurable, given time to grow.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Ye Tianchen suddenly stood up, leaving behind an afterimage in his original spot. By the time Sword Elder snapped out of it, Ye Tianchen had already penetrated deep into the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation. Sword Elder was shocked beyond measure. Could it be that the true location of the Xuanyuan Sword was in the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation? If that was the case, once Ye Tianchen pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword, being at the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation meant no way out and inevitably he would face the engulfing Sword Qi from ten thousand swords, tantamount to entering a tiger’s den.

"Thunder Sky Fist!"

A loud shout almost made Sword Elder’s jaw drop. He saw Ye Tianchen fly into the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, not to pull out any particular sword believed to be the Xuanyuan Sword, but rather his right fist clenched tightly, as the energy of thunder and lightning seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, hugely fierce and powerful. Ye Tianchen, adopting a sacrificial stance, delivered a punch directly toward the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Formation. Was this an act of seeking death, to forcefully strike and trigger the Ten Thousand Sword Formation?

Sword Elder already had explained very clearly to Ye Tianchen that in the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, touching any sword would result in an attack by the killing power of Ten Thousand Sword Qi. Ye Tianchen’s fist, striking down like this, triggered not just one sword but the entire Ten Thousand Sword Formation. It was truly astonishing, leaving one to wonder what exactly he was trying to accomplish...(To be continued.
