Supreme Sword God-Chapter 597 - 596: Black Dragon Bead, Refining!
As Ye Chen’s words fell, the space at the location he was looking at shattered, and a black dragon over a hundred meters long charged out.
The black dragon had two horns on its head, four claws on its belly, and its aura carried a vicious and bloody ferocity!
Then, this black dragon transformed into human form, appearing as Zhou Potian.
"I thought Hua Mu Elder and Xu Changqing were playing some trick, but I didn’t expect a small character like you to pop up."
The black dragon spoke, sneering repeatedly, "Earlier, Yang Tianji reversed the Nine Dragon Array, breaking into the Imperial Palace with you, but now, Yang Tianji can barely protect himself, and you, a worthless person, dare to stand against me. I really don’t know if I should say you’re bold or ignorant!"
Ye Chen squinted his eyes and said, "It seems you’re not too stupid."
This black dragon, unexpectedly aware that Daoist Hua Mu and Xu Changqing were acting, still cooperated, indicating he had other plans within Jiulong City, making it highly unlikely that Hua Mu Elder could return in time.
But it doesn’t matter.
Never expected Hua Mu Elder to help.
After all, Hua Mu Elder’s strength is far inferior to Li Jushan’s, and his return would be merely adding to the chaos and of no help.
"Ye Chen, to be honest, I quite admire you. Why not come under my command? With your talent, you’ll achieve something given time."
Ye Chen sneered, "I thank you for your admiration, but since you want to kill people from the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, I will have to kill you no matter what!"
The black dragon said indifferently, "I want to bring the Great Zhou Dynasty together as one, pushing it to a higher level. Targeting the Martial Arts Academy is for the bigger picture, especially the obstinate Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.
You don’t understand now, but you will later.
Moreover, you’ve expelled yourself from the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and you’re no longer its disciple. There’s no need for you to die with them, right?"
Ye Chen snorted.
"The bigger picture?
Your so-called bigger picture is bringing other dynasties’ Heaven-Reaching Realm experts into the territory. Those Heaven-Reaching Realm people who besieged the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy before were called by you, weren’t they!
On the surface, you wanted to kill me, but in reality, you wanted to destroy the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy because my teacher could reverse the Nine Dragon Array, and both my teacher and martial uncle saw through you as not being Zhou Potian!
In Yellow Sand City, the Qin Army’s offensive is fierce; you’ve suppressed the war situation, ignored it, and refused to aid. Especially with the Qin Army’s three Heaven-Reaching Realm experts arriving together, dare you say you didn’t know?
The Qin Army’s three Heaven-Reaching Realm’s arrival at Yellow Sand City was also your doing, right?
You want to create war, you need slaughter because you are a sinful dragon, you need blood and souls to walk the path of transformation into a true dragon!"
The black dragon stared at Ye Chen, saying, "I didn’t expect you to see it so clearly, but so what? If you don’t work for me, then you must die!
Ye Chen, I’ll give you one last chance to choose: submit or die!"
Ye Chen said calmly, "Why don’t I give you a choice too: do you want to be cut to death by me, or stabbed to death?"
The black dragon flew into a rage and yelled coldly, "Die!"
He slapped out a palm, and a massive palm imprint suddenly shattered a large space, blasting towards Ye Chen.
With a thought, Ye Chen formed the Nine Intentions Celestial Splitting Sword Array, array force welcoming that palm imprint.
Swords unleashed terrifying sharpness, with different Sword Intent powers evolving into countless changes of attack and defense.
"Boom!"
The massive palm imprint shattered, and the Nine Intentions Celestial Splitting Sword Array roared towards the black dragon.
"You’ve got some skills now, but still too weak!"
The black dragon shouted, his body wrapped in black light, he charged towards Ye Chen’s sword array, and an enormous force swept from his body, with his left hand forming a fist, right hand a palm, carrying terrifying power that shattered the heavens and the earth!
In an instant, the black dragon forcefully broke through Ye Chen’s Nine Intentions Celestial Splitting Sword Array and swiftly approached Ye Chen, unleashing a punch directly at Ye Chen’s face.
Before Ye Chen, the Seven-Star Sword Array appeared like a galaxy of sword lights, vast and mighty; simultaneously, Ye Chen slashed a sword, with sun and moon emerging within the sword light!
The black dragon snorted, and the surface of the fist he punched out carried boundless black power, making the stars of the Seven-Star Sword Array extinguish, and Ye Chen’s sun-moon Sword Qi dim and colorless.
"Rumble!"
His fist, unstoppable, pierced through the Seven-Star Sword Array, shattered the sun-moon Sword Qi, and still overbearingly attacked towards Ye Chen’s face.
Seeing the black dragon’s fist about to land on Ye Chen’s face, suddenly, Ye Chen unleashed the instant void Swordsmanship.
His figure disappeared from the black dragon’s sight in an incredible way, merging into the crevice of space, silently appearing behind the black dragon, and slashing down with a sword!
The black dragon’s body suddenly erupted with an even more violent aura, like a terrifying air wave, blasting towards all directions.
The hundred-meter-long black dragon’s true form appeared.
The dragon tail swept, fiercely striking the sword Ye Chen slashed out.
"Clang!"
The Celestial Mark Sword struck the dragon tail.
The massive counterforce erupted, causing Ye Chen’s body to uncontrollably fly backward!
The black dragon’s body revolved, like riding clouds and fog, chasing after Ye Chen, with its dragon mouth wide open, and an incredibly thick black light orb emerged within its mouth.
Ye Chen forcefully stopped his retreating figure, charged again, and stabbed a sword towards the black dragon’s mouth.
Before the black light orb in the black dragon’s mouth could spew out, Ye Chen’s sword had already pierced into that black light orb.
"Overconfident!"
The black dragon roared.
Within that black light orb was an extremely violent aura, on the verge of fully erupting!
And at this moment.
Ye Chen activated the Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique!
The True Dragon Divine Rhyme permeated, with dragon-form Sword Qi appearing!
The wisp of True Dragon Qi gained from refining the reverse scale instantly merged into this dragon-form Sword Qi.
At this moment.
The black dragon’s eyes widened like two lanterns.
A suppression stemming deeply from the bloodline made the black dragon tremble all over!
The black light orb within the black dragon’s mouth instantly shattered, the dragon-form Sword Qi with True Dragon Qi’s empowerment, directly pierced through the black dragon’s mouth, through the black dragon’s body.
"Boom!"
The black dragon’s body suddenly exploded, then with a bang, it crashed to the ground.
The Nine Intentions Celestial Splitting Sword Array and the Seven-Star Sword Array, under Ye Chen’s control, swarmed towards the remnants of the black dragon’s body!
Ye Chen also swooped down, holding the sword with both hands, stabbing fiercely downward!
"Puff!"
Ye Chen’s sword pierced into the shattered head of the black dragon.
The black dragon’s body struggled for a bit but soon fell completely silent.
Ye Chen drew the Celestial Mark Sword, and with a thought, the sixteen middle-grade Dao Swords that composed the Seven-Star Sword Array and the Nine Intentions Celestial Splitting Sword Array flew back into his Storage Ring.
Looking at the fragmented black dragon’s body on the ground, Ye Chen grinned.
The Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, combined with the pure True Dragon Qi derived from refining the reverse scale, made slaying the black dragon simple.
Four Grotto Heavens?
This black dragon didn’t even manage to exert its proper strength when it died!
"The black dragon is dead, see if there’s a Dragon Bead, if there is, take it and use your Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique to refine it!" Luo Qingyi’s voice echoed in Ye Chen’s mind.
Ye Chen immediately held his sword and cut open the black dragon’s body, finding a black bead the size of a thumb.
Holding the black bead in his hand, Ye Chen said, "Is this it?"
"Yes, the Dragon Bead is equivalent to a demon core for beast demons. Although this black dragon hasn’t reached the level of transformation into a true dragon, it has already embarked on the path of transformation. Quickly refine it, otherwise, the Dragon Bead isn’t solid enough and can’t be preserved.
With your strength, you can refine it in at most half an hour without much delay."
Ye Chen immediately collected the remnants of the black dragon, then sat cross-legged, activating the Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, to extract the power from that black Dragon Bead!
