Chapter 655: Emperor!

Hmm, perhaps they practice a different kind of sword cultivation!

"Ye Qingran, you think you can defeat us with the Qiankun Soul-Quelling Talisman and this scrap copper and rusted iron? How naive!"

Nan Xin Li shouted, and all the saints of Dan Valley hurriedly revealed their trump cards!

They were reluctant to use their trump cards, but at this moment they had been pushed to the limit by Ye Qingran; if they didn't act, they might truly be defeated by her!

In an instant, divine weapons, magical artifacts, and pill formation arrays all took the field together.

"Guess what?"

Ye Qingran gave a cold smile, and with a thought she summoned hundreds of treasured swords, which instantly rolled neatly into the range of the Wind‑Fire Soaring Sky Wing.

They were solid treasured swords, but moving so fast they turned into light swords.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Bang bang bang~

Various sounds of cutting through the air rang continuously, and occasional fierce collision noises could be heard.

At this level of collision, without Ye Qingran's saintly power protecting them, the Academy disciples' borrowed hundreds of swords would likely break in half!

"What a fast sword technique!"

"What sword art is this?"

In all martial arts under heaven, only speed is unbreakable, and this is vividly embodied among sword cultivators.

For sword cultivators, ultimate sharpness and ultimate speed are the lifelong limits they pursue.

Of course, these are external requirements.

What sword cultivators value most is cultivating a Dao heart.

A fearless Dao heart allows one to refine further between sharpness and speed, reaching a higher level!

Suddenly, a wisp of mist appeared; all the swords vanished after entering it, and Ye Qingran briefly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a shadow.

Where did she go?

While everyone was curious, the swords suddenly reappeared, lining up in a row and blasting toward the nearest saint.

The speed was extreme, catching the saint off guard, whose face turned aghast.

However, being a saint, his reaction was also super fast; he hurriedly raised his hand to block the incoming sword silhouettes.

Bang bang bang!

But when he blocked the last sword, a cold glint reflected in his pupils!

Ye Qingran, holding a long sword, suddenly appeared before him.

The elder's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes reflecting Ye Qingran's approaching figure.

Splat~

A faint sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, as a sword pierced a Dan Valley elder's brow, spraying blood everywhere.

Ye Qingran, wielding the long sword, exuded a chilling, demonic female aura.

"Sss~"

Everyone stared dumbfounded.

Another Dan Valley elder was taken down!

And it was Ye Qingran herself who finished him!

Even though these elders were already vigilant, she seemed always able to create extreme conditions, catching them off guard and making defense impossible.

Such wisdom is terrifying.

"Quick, form the array!" Ling Tian could no longer stay calm, his eyes wide as he shouted loudly.

Ye Qingran is too formidable; if this continues, we could be worn down to death one by one by her.

He could wait no longer; a swift decisive battle is required!

Nan Xin shivered, regained his senses, and shouted, "Form the array!"

As elders of Dan Valley, although they each possess the strength to guard a region, individual power is ultimately limited; forming an array can combine everyone's strength, achieving the strongest effect.

Except for the few Academy elders who did not join, the other Dan Valley elders all entered the array formation.

"Form the array?"

A mocking sneer flashed in Ye Qingran's eyes.

Although she does not fear the Dan Valley elders forming an array against her, she cannot simply watch them succeed.

Her goal is to humiliate the Dan Valley elders, not to create trouble for herself.

So...

"Do you have my permission to form the array?"

"Ye Qingran, you think you can block us?"

Nan Xin narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing suddenly.

"Then let's try it!"

As Ye Qingran finished speaking, the aura of qi around her instantly became even more dazzling and brilliant; she resembled a radiant day, impossible to stare at.

Along with it surged a force as massive as a mountain yet as ethereal as flowing water, pouring out.

"Emperor's Will!"

Nan Xin's expression changed repeatedly.

The information they received made no mention of Ye Qingran possessing the Emperor's Will.

Isn't she a saint?

How could there be an Emperor's Will?

Only an emperor has such a will!

Regarding the Emperor's Will, the ones who feel it most deeply are, of course, the Saints.

That is what they crave, but before obtaining it they also hold great awe.

Even the Elders of the Academy do not know that Ye Qingran possesses the Emperor's Will.

In the ruins of the ancient battlefield, Ye Qingran, while battling the three great Saints, displayed the Emperor's Will, but because the Emperor's Will has no outward manifestation and only Saints can perceive it clearly, even though many Academy disciples were watching the fight, they did not realize that Ye Qingran possessed the Emperor's Will.

This led to the secret of Ye Qingran's Emperor's Will being kept confidential—for the time being.

At this moment, she reveals the Emperor's Will without reservation, unaware of how many people she has frightened.

At least the Saints present today were all frightened.

"She has already comprehended the Emperor's Will?"

"Doesn't that mean she can certainly step into the realm of the Emperor?"

One of the lofty peaks a Saint must scale to cross into the Emperor's realm is the comprehension of the Emperor's Will.

Only by comprehending the Emperor's Will can one step into the Emperor's realm; this is a necessary condition.

And how difficult is it to comprehend the Emperor's Will?

For many years on Beimingzhou, not a single Emperor has been able to discern it.

Yet Ye Qingran, still young, has already comprehended the Emperor's Will, and stepping into the Emperor's realm is just a matter of time!

They see this Emperor's Will and, as if, see a near-Emperor!
