Primordial Star Scripture

"In the mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm section of the sword fighting area, the quantity of Sword Qi that Ye Chen condensed actually surpassed that of the top sword cultivators in the late-stage Spirit Sea Realm sector!"

"Just from this light screen, it's evident that Ye Chen may very well be the entity among the nearly ten thousand participants of the Sword Fighting Tournament who has condensed the most Sword Qi!"

"No one in the late-stage Spirit Sea Realm sword fighting area, and certainly not in the early-stage Spirit Sea Realm sword fighting area, has condensed a quantity of Void Heaven Sword Qi that surpasses Ye Chen. As for the mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm sword fighting area, there's no need to even mention it—Ye Chen is undoubtedly number one!"

The more they shouted, the more excited the warriors from the Southern Territory became.

This trip to the Central Region brought mixed feelings to the warriors from the Southern Territory.

They were well aware that among the major regions of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, the overall strength of the Southern Territory was at a disadvantage.

Lagging behind other regions was one thing, but upon their arrival at the Immeasurable Mountain in the Central Region, the Southern Territory warriors realized that their contingent's strength couldn't even match their sworn enemies from the Western Wilderness—the ten great Demon Sects. This realization made them even more uncomfortable.

Especially after hearing about the events at the plaza, and learning that the ten Demon Sects had encircled the Southern Territory cultivators, their indignation was uncontainable.

If not for Ye Chen, it is feared that the Southern Territory would have lost much face on the plaza.

The Southern Territory had sent over two thousand participants to join the two grand events in the Central Region. Among them, only about two hundred had witnessed Ye Chen's strength in the plaza, and the rest had not seen his power with their own eyes.

However, through word of mouth, all Southern Territory warriors subconsciously filled with expectations for Ye Chen.

Because they knew that among all the warriors they had brought to the Central Region, apart from Ye Chen, there was probably no one who could contend with warriors from other regions.

Only Ye Chen was likely to bring glory to the entire Southern Territory!

Expectations are expectations, but without witnessing firsthand, many of the Southern Territory warriors were still somewhat worried.

But now, as soon as Ye Chen entered the Void Heaven Sword Valley and began condensing the Void Heaven Sword Qi, such a powerful display completely reassured the warriors from the Southern Territory.

With such miraculous performance from the outset, coupled with the various rumors of Ye Chen's strength,

all warriors from the Southern Territory knew that Ye Chen might truly bring great honor to the entire Southern Territory this time!

Ye Chen, born in the Southern Territory and stronger than the top sword cultivators from the Central Region, even far surpassing the sword cultivators from the Western Wilderness—how could this not fill the warriors of the Southern Territory with immense pride?!

Ye Chen, the warrior of the Southern Territory! The pride of the Southern Territory!

Considering that the Southern Territory could raise its head high in front of the ten great Demon Sects from the Western Wilderness, and that its warriors were even stronger than the disciples of the great sects in the Central Region, many cultivators from the Southern Territory even felt their eyes well up with tears.

The female cultivators, having seen Ye Chen in the light screen, had tears of pride rolling in their eyes. Wiping away those tears, they shouted even louder, cheering for Ye Chen!

It wasn't just the Southern Territory warriors who were incredibly excited. When they clearly saw the most potent and surprising surge of Sword Qi in the mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm section of the sword fighting area had been condensed by Ye Chen, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder in the void kept nodding his head in approval.

And Mu Qingqing's little face turned red with excitement.

Even though the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament was only a contest of Sword Fighting Art, and she knew of Ye Chen's unparalleled prowess, Mu Qingqing was concerned that Ye Chen might be at a disadvantage solely in the competition of Sword Fighting Art.

But now, all of Mu Qingqing's worries had flown away!

The scene before her eyes made it clear that Ye Chen's Sword Dao Talent was just as incomparably profound as the Divine Soul Innate Potential previously displayed in the Divine Sword, leaving all others far behind!

Moreover, knowing the power of the high-level sword formations Ye Chen commanded, Mu Qingqing was no longer worried about the upcoming sword fights; instead, she was filled with anticipation!

A genius of heaven is just like this, without any weaknesses to speak of, and with strengths so incredible they're beyond belief!

While Elder Xiao Supreme Elder and Mu Qingqing felt happy for Ye Chen, other Heavenly Saints, including the three mid-stage Heavenly Saints from the Heavenly Sacred Palace and the four Heavenly Saints from the four top third-rank sword sects, were also nodding their heads in agreement.

Onlookers from other regions outside the arena, observing Ye Chen in the void light screen as well as Jiang Yao, Liu Qingmei, and Lu Xiaojia's performances, were also engaged in heated discussions!

In all the regions, none felt a greater sense of repression than the area belonging to the Western Wilderness's ten great Demon Sects.

In the light screen, not only did the Southern Territory have Ye Chen's miraculous performance, but Jiang Yao was equally powerful. Not to mention the Central Region, with figures like Lu Xiaojia, Mo Bei Ling, and Fang Luo Han, who, although slightly weaker than Ye Chen, were nonetheless impressively strong.

There was also Liu Qingmei from the Eastern Pole Star Islands, and even from the extremely northern Icy Palace Snowfield—which had fewest cultivators and sword cultivators present—there were still two sword cultivators in the early-stage Spirit Sea Realm section who displayed extraordinary might!

By comparison, none from the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness had truly made a mark for the Western Wilderness that drew admiration from warriors of other regions.

This certainly left quite a sour taste in the mouths of the Western Wilderness's ten great Demon Sects!

They had originally claimed to be stronger than the Southern Territory, but now, just the Southern Territory's Ye Chen and Jiang Yao alone had left countless Western Wilderness warriors far behind!

As over a hundred thousand warriors outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley watched the light screens, screaming, thrilling, or feeling disappointed, with countless thoughts swirling in their hearts, inside the Void Heaven Sword Valley, nearly ten thousand sword cultivators gathering the Void Heaven Sword Qi had now entered a truly stable phase.

Strong sword cultivators like Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Lu Xiaojia, Mo Bei Ling, and others continued to condense the Void Heaven Sword Qi, while many of the weaker sword cultivators had already completed the step of condensing Void Heaven Sword Qi.

When the first sword cultivator finished condensing the Void Heaven Sword Qi, the four third-rank sword sect Heavenly Saints simultaneously took a step outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley and pointed with the swords that had initially fixed the valley towards the void above.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the spaces higher up beyond the numerous light screens outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley, as well as in the sky above the three major sword fighting areas within it, a gigantic sword silhouette simultaneously appeared.

In the instant that the vast sword shadow appeared, the sword cultivators who had completed the accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi within the Void Heaven Sword Valley saw their Sword Fighting qualification tokens emit a strange glow, illuminating the spheres of Void Heaven Sword Qi around their bodies.

At this moment, above the skies of the three major areas outside and inside the Void Heaven Sword Valley, the enormous sword shadow created by the efforts of the four great Heavenly Saints began to display characters etched upon it.

"Wang Liu, Western Wilderness, a total accumulation of 3,845 strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi!"

"Xiao Long, Southern Territory , a total accumulation of 4,232 strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi!"

"Zhao Jiukui, Western Wilderness, a total accumulation of 4,563 strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi!"

"..."

"Wang Chong, Central Region, a total accumulation of 13,269 strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi!"

As each sword cultivator completed the accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi, their names, regions of origin, and the number of Void Heaven Sword Qi strands they had gathered appeared on the colossal sword shadow.

By the look of it, this vast sword shadow was evidently designed to display the quantities of Void Heaven Sword Qi accumulated by all the sword cultivators participating in the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament.

With the aid of the Sword Fighting Tournament qualification tokens and the spheres of Void Heaven Sword Qi inside the Valley, to be able to display everyone's quantities of Void Heaven Sword Qi was an astonishing and unparalleled feat!

"This giant sword shadow is none other than the Void Heaven Sword Ranking, jointly refined with the assistance of the Void Heaven Sword Valley and the Sword Fighting qualification tokens!"

"Now, the quantities of Void Heaven Sword Qi for all sword cultivators will continuously be presented on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking."

"Once everyone has completed their accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi and the sword fighting matches begin, depending on the number of Void Heaven Sword Qi strands seized, the ranking on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking will change once again."

"Ultimately, three days later, the one at the very top of the Void Heaven Sword Ranking will be the champion of this Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament!"

The voice of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder reached everyone watching outside, as well as all the sword cultivators inside the Void Heaven Sword Valley participating in the tournament.

Countless people lifted their heads to behold the giant sword shadow and the characters inscribed upon it.

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

As more and more sword cultivators completed their accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi, the names and scores of Void Heaven Sword Qi began to appear more frequently from the bottom to the top of the enormous sword shadow.

With the presence of the Void Heaven Sword Ranking, everyone could now see the results of the various sword cultivators in the tournament more clearly.

When the Void Heaven Sword Ranking listed over a thousand names, from bottom to top, those ranked above the one thousandth place had already accumulated more than 100,000 strands of Void Heaven Sword Qi!

This development made Elder Xiao and others nod in approval.

"This time, there are a total of 9,868 participants in the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament. Since it is after more than two thousand years that third-rank sword sect disciples are participating again, the qualifications for the tournament have been significantly relaxed."

"The number of participants in this Sword Fighting Tournament can be said to be the highest in history."

"However, despite the large number of participants, the results are not bad at all. Aside from the weaker choices selected early on at the lower end, the scores at the intermediate level were in no way inferior to those sword cultivators who entered the Void Heaven Sword Valley more than two thousand years ago."

"Moreover, the real powerhouses have not even finished accumulating Void Heaven Sword Qi yet!"

As he said this, Elder Xiao's gaze also swept across individuals in the Void Heaven Sword Valley such as Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Liuying Mei, and Lu Xiaojia.

"I'm afraid that this time, the strongest group might surpass the highest scores ever achieved in the Void Heaven Sword Valley in the accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi!"

Elder Xiao's words caused Mu Qingqing to shift her gaze thoughtfully, "I'm not sure about the others, but looking at this, Ye Chen's final accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi may very well reach tens of millions!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the discussions of the crowd and the anticipatory gazes of the martial artists watching the tournament, more and more names began to appear on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking.

Over three thousand people!

Over five thousand people!

Over seven thousand people!

When the quantity of people who had completed their accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi on the ranking surpassed nine thousand, with just a few hundred left to complete, the names on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking on the giant sword shadow had reached the uppermost area!

At this point, the quantity of Void Heaven Sword Qi accumulated by the sword cultivators in the topmost region had reached more than 800,000 strands!

Then, both outside and inside the Void Heaven Sword Valley, whether they were martial artists observing the tournament or sword cultivators who had already completed their accumulation of Void Heaven Sword Qi, everyone looked up, staring intently at the uppermost area of the huge sword shadow, watching every new name that appeared on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking.

Because at this time, there were only a few hundred people left who had not appeared on the Void Heaven Sword Ranking!

These were the few hundred people with the strongest Sword Dao talent among all sword cultivators!

Everyone wanted to know, in the end, who would be at the very top!
