Chapter 49: Comprehending the Eighth Sequence Metal Intent

"Die!"

Jin Xuan of the Gold Scale Clan launched an attack at Ye Tian; a cyan sword light carrying the tenth-level Ninth Sequence Metal Intent slashed over.

"Five Elements Wheel!"

Ye Tian's body was protected by the Five Elements Wheel; the sword light struck it, failing to break the defense at all, and shattered instantly.

"Five Elements Mutation Strange Art!!!!!"

Jin Xuan was dumbfounded.

Among the Scale Clan, there were clansmen with bloodline mutations who could unleash bloodline strange arts of two or more attributes, and could even achieve bloodline mutation strange arts, possessing very powerful combat strength, but such clansmen were very rare.

Yet he only possessed a Metal Element bloodline and did not know any bloodline mutation strange arts.

"Bloodline Strange Art—No-Leak Golden Pupils!"

This bloodline strange art could allow Jin Xuan to see through an enemy's flaws.

"No flaws at all!" Jin Xuan grew grave; Ye Tian's defense covered his entire body, making it impossible to break.

"Tenth-level Ninth Sequence Metal Intent, truly monstrous; worthy of being from the Gold Scale Clan!"

Ye Tian spoke in fluent Underground Cave common tongue.

"Unfortunately, you are no match for me!"

If it were when he had just entered the Wanxiang Strange Realm, he might not have necessarily been able to kill Jin Xuan.

But now, his various intents had all improved, which also caused the power of the Five Elements Wheel to skyrocket several times over.

"Five Elements Wheel, form Domain!"

Hum!!!!

The Five Elements Wheel grew larger, transforming into a Domain.

In this instant, Jin Xuan felt as if his entire body were being pressed down by a mountain peak.

"Bloodline Strange Art—Nine-Fold Sword Light!"

Dense sword lights instantly appeared on his body, and while resisting the suppression of the Five Elements Wheel Domain, he charged toward Ye Tian.

He was unwilling to flee; once he fled, the Medium-Grade Strange Phenomenon Sword Opens Heaven Gate would have nothing to do with him, and that Mid-grade Strange Treasure would also fall into Ye Tian's hands.

Therefore, he had to take a gamble.

In reality, he also had no hope of escaping.

"Darkness Curtain!"

"Ten Thousand Wood Prison Art!"

One strange art after another was unleashed by Ye Tian, leaving Jin Xuan stunned.

There were also mental attack strange arts, striking Jin Xuan's spirit time and again, causing his spirit to be constantly injured.

"Darkness Fire!"

A cluster of black flames landed on Jin Xuan's body, continuously burning his physical form.

If it were normal times, he could truly have easily broken the Darkness Fire, but now he had no time to dispel this strange art; the Darkness Fire continuously eroded his body, making his state worse and worse.

Five minutes passed.

The Blood Refining Armor defending Jin Xuan's body was pierced through, his torso was run through by the Hell Wood Thorn Technique and other strange arts, and his vitality gradually faded away.

"Dead!"

Ye Tian confirmed it; the opponent was truly dead.

However, he dared not be careless; he waved his hand again, and a golden light severed Jin Xuan's head and destroyed his internal organs. After multiple follow-up strikes, he confirmed the opponent was truly dead, then retrieved his Identity Token and Storage Ring, before tossing a cluster of Darkness Fire to incinerate his body.

"It seems he really had no trump cards to save his life!"

Ye Tian thought to himself.

In the distance.

Xiao Ya and the others watched, dumbfounded; at this moment, their mouths were agape, seemingly wide enough to swallow a fist.

"Everyone, I am going to comprehend the Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon!"

Ye Tian did not want to waste time; he did not know how long this Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon would last.

Thus, he arrived at the Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon.

"Eh, this sword is not a phenomenon; could it be a Strange Treasure?"

Ye Tian was surprised.

He did not think too much; he would comprehend the Metal Intent first.

Ye Tian was comprehending the Metal Intent, while Xiao Ya and the others were there healing; they did not possess the Metal Talent Ability and could not comprehend the Metal Intent, which could only be called a pity.

With the help of the Enlightenment Technique, Ye Tian's comprehension was terrifying, and since the Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon was a Medium-Grade Strange Phenomenon, his Metal Intent improved too quickly.

"The Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon is too good; that Gold Scale Clan member earlier likely wanted to use the Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon to break through to the Eighth Sequence Intent. If he had truly succeeded in his comprehension, perhaps I would not have been able to kill him, and might even have been defeated!" Ye Tian thought to himself.

Not long after, Ye Tian's Metal Intent improved to the tenth-level Consummation Realm.

Subsequently, he began to charge toward the Eighth Sequence Intent.

It was difficult for Jin Xuan to comprehend the Eighth Sequence Intent, but he was different; his current comprehension was terrifying, equivalent to being in a state of epiphany at every moment, and this effect was naturally heaven-defying.

Unknowingly, Ye Tian seemed to have comprehended a higher level of intent from the Sword Opens Heaven Gate Strange Phenomenon; the Ninth Sequence Metal Intent on his body seemed to have been affected by an inexplicable force, and was constantly being compressed and refined, just like a rough iron billet being tempered a thousand times to become refined iron.

This was a process of transformation!

At a certain moment.

Boom!!!

A terrifying power of Metal Intent erupted from Ye Tian's body; the air was torn apart, and a sound like glass shattering rang out.

Eighth Sequence Metal Intent, achieved!

"The Eighth Sequence Metal Intent is too powerful, far beyond what the Ninth Sequence Metal Intent can compare to!" Ye Tian thought to himself.

The degree of refinement of the Eighth Sequence Intent is more than ten times that of the Ninth Sequence Metal Intent; although he had only just comprehended a sliver of the Eighth Sequence Intent, his strength had undergone a rapid and massive transformation.

If he were to fight Jin Xuan again, he could kill Jin Xuan in just a few moves.

After comprehending the Eighth Sequence Metal Intent, Ye Tian continued to contemplate the Eighth Sequence Metal Intent.

It was just that the Sword Opening Heaven Gate Phenomenon was about to dissipate at this moment, but there was a high probability it could still allow his Eighth Sequence Metal Intent to improve slightly.

Another half hour passed.

The Sword Opening Heaven Gate Phenomenon finally dissipated, and a sword fell down, which was strikingly a Mid-grade Strange Treasure.

Ye Tian grabbed the falling Mid-grade Strange Treasure, revealing an excited expression.

This was his very first Strange Treasure!

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Ye Tian for obtaining a Mid-grade Strange Treasure!"

Qin Susu and the others walked over and congratulated him.

After such a long time of healing, the three's injuries had already recovered, though their Strange Art power had not yet fully returned.

"It is still thanks to you all, otherwise I would not have been able to obtain the Mid-grade Strange Treasure!" Ye Tian said with a smile; this time, he had no need to share the treasure with the three of them.

"Junior Brother Ye Tian, did you just comprehend the Eighth Sequence Metal Intent?"

Xiao Ya asked curiously.

"Yes!" Ye Tian nodded; the commotion from just comprehending the Eighth Sequence Metal Intent naturally could not be hidden.

"The Eighth Sequence Metal Intent, I am so envious!" Xiao Ya said longingly: "I also want to comprehend the Eighth Sequence Intent; once one comprehends the Eighth Sequence Intent, there is hope to break through and become a Grand Ability Master!"

"Grand Ability Master?" Ye Tian asked curiously: "Could it be that a Grand Ability Master is related to the Eighth Sequence Intent?"

"Yes!" Xiao Ya said: "The Eighth Sequence Intent is one of the conditions for advancing to Grand Ability Master. Of course, it does not mean that if you comprehend the Eighth Sequence Intent, you will definitely be able to break through to become a Grand Ability Master, but if you have not comprehended the Eighth Sequence Intent, you cannot become a Grand Ability Master. Just like comprehending the Ninth Sequence Intent, there is hope to become an Ability Grandmaster, but in reality, many Peak Ability Masters who comprehend the Ninth Sequence Intent have insufficient foundations, and without other opportunities, they also need to attempt the breakthrough time and time again to have a chance!"

"That is true!"

Ye Tian nodded.

For example, some elderly Peak Ability Masters, even if they comprehend an intent, should not even think about breaking through; their bodies simply do not allow it!
