    “Life and death is only a cycle…This is something I already know. But how to find themon ground between and connect the two should be the key to entering Life and Death realm.”


    Uponprehending Life Dao and Death Dao, Ye Chen now needed to connect the two together into a single entity.


    By theke, his left hand emitted Death Qi while the right hand emitted Life Qi spirals. When he brought the two hands closer, the two counteracted each other, creating ripples that could only be sensed extremely indistinctly.


    “These ripples are it!”


    After thousands of tries, Ye Chen eventually sensed these ripples. They had no life or death, but abination of both.


    Not far from the wooden hut, a huge wolf was crouched on the ground. Numerous eyes were growing on its head. Most of these eyes were closed, and the rest were only opened up to a crack. However, once its dark-green gaze leaked out of the cracks, its surroundings transformed in a bizarre and grotesque manner. The butterflies began flying upside-down, small nts grew into sky-reaching trees, and ants turned into fiendish beasts. Due to its gaze, reality and hallucinationsbined together.


    Compared to a few years ago, Dream Devouring Wolf had be much stronger. Its body was emitting a faint aura of life-and-death, and its red lustrous fur seemed to be giving off a ughterous glow. Watching Ye Chen trying to verify life and death had greatly helped it.


    “Master is too frightening! Following him, I’m afraid that I can be a Beast King within ten years, or even sooner.”


    It was already a tenth grade demonic beast when Ye Chen subdued it. Subsequently, it had been hibernating after eating that Windfire Pill. Later, Ye Chen again gave it a top-notch supreme grade demonic power crystal. By relying on these two resources, it became a half-step Beast King without a hitch. Moreover, it had only consumed a tiny fraction of the crystal’s demonic power. Nowadays, watching Ye Chen verify his Life Dao and Death Dao against each other, it also entered the firstyer of Life and Death Realm, increasing its battle strength and dream creation ability by numerous folds. Even an ordinary King would be somewhat affected by its ability.


    “Ugh? Why are they not conforming?” Dream Devouring Wolf slightly raised its head and astoundedly nced at Ye Chen.


    Slowly letting out a breath, Ye Chen said indifferently, “Someone is approaching. It can be either a friend or an enemy.”


    Roar!


    Hearing these words, the wolf stood up and growled. The fur on its body stood straight, vastly increasing its size and fierceness.


    …


    Under the heavens were innumerable secret arts. Some focused on defense, some on offense, and some were purely supplementary.


    The Blood-robed guardians had been thoroughly brainwashed by the otherwordlings. Each and every single one of them was exceptionally loyal, and they all were bestowed an exceptional scouting technique called the Great Soul Searching Art. This art could restrict the soul power into an arc, allowing the range of soul scouting to be increased by a hundred folds. The range of soul scouting of an ordinary Sea of Soul realm expert was a hundred li. Thus, by using this art, it could reach ten thousand li. Of course, the soul power could only be spread in an arc, and thus, couldn’t cover the entire area. However, it was still terrifying.


    This art had one more frightening aspect: it could lock onto anything with life. Thus, one didn’t need to explore every inch, allowing one to save a lot of soul power.


    By relying on this art, a blood-robed guardian discovered Ye Chen from nine thousand li away.


    “Lord, the target has been discovered. He looks exactly like the portrait.” The blood-red guardian, who seemed like a captain of a small squad, raised the little snail in his hands and spoke.


    “What, discovered? But, I’m too far away from there. Blood de King, you’re the closest one…Hurry over there! Even if you can’t win, keep him busy and buy me half an hour. By that time, he won’t escape even if he grows wings.” The masked man was delighted. Amongst every three red-robed guardians was a squad captain who had a position stone on their body. By relying on the position stone, the masked man could easily determine the distance between everybody and immediately send the closest one to deal with Ye Chen.


    “Rest assured, he will not escape. My de longs for the blood of peerless geniuses.” Blood de King was a blood-haired middle-aged man. He licked his lips and sinisterly grinned.


    Puff!


    The space cracked as Blood de King made his way toward the squad captain. A few momentster, he’d arrived at the target.


    “Where?” Blood de King asked.


    The squad captain pointed to his front and said, “On that ind. Not good! He is about to leave.”


    “Leave? He can’t!”


    The distance of nine thousand li held no significance to Blood de King. The space cracked, and he reappeared on the ind, instantly chopping at Ye Chen, who was about to take off.


    Rumble!


    A blood-colored de light shrouded the world, and the vibrant ind was cut in two, flooded by the ocean.


    “He is a powerful mid step King!” Evading the de light, Ye Chen hovered in the air as he guessed the strength of his opponent. ording to his judgement, the strength of Blood de King should be much higher than the consciousness projection of the masked man. If it were the previous him, he certainly didn’t have a chance.


    However, that might not be the case now!


    Unsheathing the Sky Scorpio Sword, Ye Chen counterattacked. The sword was so fast that Blood de King only had the time to raise his blood de and defend.


    ng!


    A sound like a grand pce’s clock tower ringing resounded, and Blood de King’s entire being was sted off. Blood sshed from his arm holding the de, revealing mutted flesh and deeply cut bones.


    “What, this is a single strike’s might?”


    Blood de King was appalled. ording to his knowledge, Ye Chen’s strength was only equivalent to ordinary Kings. When did it be so high? It was an increase of multiple folds.


    ‘Whileprehending Life dao, despite me not consciouslyprehending other profounds, water profound and space profound both progressed somewhat. Ny percentpleted water profound and ny percent metal profound are in equilibrium, doubling their might and promoting Congealing Water into an upper grade high-step profound sword move.’ Ye Chen sneered on the inside.


    Upper grade high-step profound martial arts had their own strong and weak types. The weak ones involved two great profounds bothpleted to ny percent, while the strong had both profounds attaining greaterpletion. For example, the thunder fire profound martial skill of the masked man was a powerful art amongst upper grade high-step profound martial arts, with both profound nearing greaterpletion. Against him, Ye Chen had no advantage, but against Blood de King, his superiority was evident.


    After all, he also had sixth step Destruction Sword intent and supreme grade sword Sky Scorpio Sword.


    “This kid is troublesome! I better aim on keeping him busy.”


    Blood de King instantly changed his course of action, as he alone was not Ye Chen’s opponent. Thetter’s improvement rate was simply unimaginably. If he weren’t eliminated today, the price to eliminate him would increase by ten folds, and they might not even seed.


    “Trying to buy time?”


    Ye Chen didn’t believe that there was only a single King chasing after him. There was certainly somebody stronger behind him. If he couldn’t settle Blood de King soon, he would be in big trouble.


    “Oh well, you came at the right time to let me test Bewitching Mirror Shattering!”


    Apart from water profound reaching ny percentpletion, Ye Chen’s space profound had also reached fifty percentpletion. As to how powerful this fifteen percent increment was whenpared to other profounds, Ye Chen himself wasn’t too clear. He only knew that Bewitching Mirror Shattering had certainly surpassed Congealing Water, bing his strongest move once again.


    “Die!”


    With a growl, Ye Chen’s entire body leapt forth like a huge eagle spreading its wings. He arrived before Blood de King in a few bursts and chopped.


    Buzz!


    The space froze like a mirror condensing in the void. Blood de King’s eyes were opened so wide that they seemed on the verge of cracking as he stood unmoving inside the mirror. In the next moment, the mirror condensed from spatial power shattered into a million pieces. The splinters of the space no longer randomly shot off in all directions, rather spiraled and shed at Blood de King’s body, as if executing him with a million cuts.


    Ah!


    Thousands of cuts and holes appeared on Blood de King’s body. He didn’t fear ordinary spatial power, but these spatial splinters containedpressed spatial power. Even water, whenpressed, could cut through steel, much less to say spatial power.


    As he protected his head with all his might, the peak semi supreme grade armor on his body was shed at several ces. It could be seen how mighty the spatial power was. If it had been an ordinary semi supreme grade armor, it would have directly shattered.


    However, despite so, Blood de King had sustained grave injuries.


    ‘Life and Death Kings are indeed hard to kill unless you hit their vitals.’


    Relying on Sword Domain, Ye Chen sealed off Blood de King’s surrounding space, rendering him incapable of escaping in the space. Moreover, Ye Chen’s speed under the effect of Sword Domain attained the limits of spatial sustenance. He instantly appeared before Blood de King and thrust out.


    Congealing Water!


    ng!


    The blood de in Blood de King’s hand flew off. A sword flickered, and Blood de King’s head soared high up in the air.


    Puff! Ye Chen again thrust out, piercing the skull.


    “Leave!”


    After killing Blood de King, Ye Chen collected the other’s de and storage ring without any hesitation and immediately flew off.


    A few momentster, Ye Chen was already a thousand li away.


    “Lord, not good! Blood de King has been killed by the target, and the target is escaping. He’ll be soon out of range.” A few thousand li away, the blood-robbed guardian captain anxiously spoke into the snail.


    “What? Blood de King was killed? What the hell happened!”


    The masked man had an inconceivable look on his face. He was clear about how powerful the Blood de King was. Thetter was more than twice as powerful as his consciousness projection. Moreover, he’d already warned him to keep the target engaged if he couldn’t win. Could he have been too careless?


    The captain recounted everything he’d sensed.


    “Damn him! His progress is so fast! He must be eliminated. Lord was right, this kid’s potential is rarely seen, including the ancient era! He is an enormous threat.” The masked-man’splexion sunk. He could figure out how powerful Ye Chen was by relying on the captain’s description. This kind of progress was simply monstrous. It should be known that for an ordinary expert, a breakthrough meant little-to-no progress for several years.


    “All hear mymand, increase the pace of search.” The masked man ordered coldly.
