Chapter 65: Ancient Sword! Terrifying Fragment!
Ye Chen finished speaking, Hunyan remained silent for a moment, Ye Chen was not in a hurry, but patiently waited for Hunyan's reply.
After he was not far from those three, Hunyan's voice suddenly rang out, and Ye Chen also stopped his steps.
Hunyan slowly opened his mouth, beginning to recount the "battlefield".
"That is probably my last memory; in that battle, countless true immortals perished, countless supreme imperial weapons shattered, you cannot imagine how cruel that battle was."
"And my memory is frozen on a towering figure; that figure is precisely the person who led me away from that place, but no matter how I try, I cannot recall that person's face, as if everything about him has become a taboo."
After Ye Chen finished listening to Hunyan's words, his brows furrowed deeply, "Going by what you say, the planet we are now on is very likely the final battlefield of that battle?"
"It's not impossible; otherwise, could you explain my appearance and the appearance of the ancient sword fragment?"
Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen sighed and nodded; indeed, as Hunyan said, he could not explain why Hunyan and the ancient sword fragment appeared.
Because he is quite certain that those experts from outside Xingkong have not yet entered this planet, the true great upheaval has not yet begun, and they cannot enter.
"Take it step by step; after all, no one knows how many ages have passed since that battle, and the things we have left behind may very well have drifted here from elsewhere."
"Moreover, if this really is an ancient battlefield, you should be grateful, for what they left behind is immense; you must know that back then was a flourishing era of cultivation, and the cultivators' strength far surpasses what your era can compare to."
"Opportunity, perhaps so great you cannot imagine it; moreover, the chance for your sister to be born safely has also increased considerably, right?"
Hunyan finished speaking, Ye Chen lightly nodded; Hunyan's words all made sense, and he had also thought of this; overall, there are pros and cons.
After Ye Chen and Hunyan finished talking, they immediately set off again, heading to where those three were.
At this moment, the three did not know that Ye Chen had already sought them out.
"Those two don't know what mishap occurred; up to now they haven't replied."
A bespectacled person said.
"I just said the people we invited are unreliable; the old clan head even said that if they were dead, it would reduce the family's loss—bah, it's just that they don't want to send people from the Upper Clan."
A bearded man said; in this era, people keeping such beards are not uncommon, but someone with a beard as luxuriant as his is indeed rare.
"Alright, say less; the people of the Upper Clan are all experts drawn from the Four-Directions; if they hear what you're saying, they'll surely make you regret it."
The weak man beside the bearded man said.
After the weak man finished speaking, the bearded man's temper flared: "I don't give a damn! The Upper Clan people are disgusting; let them come and try to kill me—even if I frown, I'll still count myself as a coward!"
After the bearded man finished speaking, the bespectacled man slightly shook his head.
"Hey, enough talk; business is important— that is a transcendent being; although we have many people, we still ought to be careful. Even if I have a fragment on me, if that person isn't transcendent, we might not be a match."
After the bespectacled man finished speaking, he also pushed up his glasses; beneath the lenses lay a pair of gloomy eyes—clearly, he was also extremely dissatisfied with the Upper Clan's arrangements.
Just as the three were talking, Ye Chen had already come within earshot; their conversation naturally entered his ears word for word.
"It seems that last time that person's memory was off; this also proves that his status is not high, otherwise he wouldn't even be unaware of the Upper Clan's existence, and above the Four-Directions Sect there is still an Upper Clan, which is the greatest power."
Earlier, after he destroyed the Northern Sect, he went straight to find Hunyan, without reading those people's memories; otherwise he wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.
"Find a time to read the memories of the Northern Sect people's souls, so as not to leave any unfinished business."
Ye Chen thought to himself, and the next moment his figure appeared before those three.
The three were still chatting and did not notice Ye Chen's sudden appearance.
"Damn it, if I were a member of the Upper Clan, I would never invite outsiders to do such a foolish thing."
The bearded man said angrily.
"So, could you tell me what the Upper Clan actually is?"
"The Upper Clan is just a bunch of miscellaneous..."
However, the bearded man's words had not yet finished when they were cut off, accompanied by a bone-deep chill.
He stiffly passed through his body; when he turned around, he saw Ye Chen smiling with a pleasant expression, Ye Chen squinting his eyes as he smiled, giving an impression of harmlessness.
But the three did not think that way; they didn't even know when Ye Chen had appeared, they are not fools, and almost instantly they realized they were no match for Ye Chen.
"Four-eyes, throw out the fragment!"
The weak man reacted first, shouting at the bespectacled man.
The bespectacled man also came to his senses in that shout, hastily pulling the fragment from his pocket; at the moment the fragment was drawn, Ye Chen clearly sensed that the surrounding energy fluctuations had become chaotic.
His internal spiritual power also became violent.
In his vision, a terrifying scene gradually emerged.
It was a sword entirely black, its blade bearing unknown markings, standing silently amidst the cosmos and stars.
But for some reason, the sword suddenly moved; at that moment, everything in the cosmos and stars moved with it, and the next instant the sword swung in a direction— that strike destroyed heaven and earth.
The scene ended here, and Hunyan's voice was anxiously calling out.
"Ye Chen, wake up, wake up!"
Hunyan's voice grew louder; Ye Chen bit his tongue hard, and after breaking the skin, his consciousness gradually returned, at which point he was shocked to discover that the sword's fragment had somehow arrived before him, its distance from his brow less than a finger's width.
Ye Chen hesitated not, releasing his spiritual power to block the fragment, but he still underestimated it; the fragment ignored the shield his spiritual power raised and flew straight toward his brow.
Ye Chen stared wide-eyed in shock at this scene: "How is this possible!!"
Just as he thought the fragment would pierce his brow, it suddenly halted in midair.
Ye Chen gazed at the fragment hovering in the air, his heart eased, and at this moment he also sensed Hunyan's power.
"I am about to fall into a slumber; take care during this time, don't die."
Hunyan finished speaking, his voice fell silent, and the fragment drifted automatically into Ye Chen's hand.
