Primordial Star Scripture

"Look fast!"

"It looks like Murong Qiqi is heading straight for Ye Chen. Could it be that she intends to challenge him directly?"

When they saw Murong Qiqi in the mid-Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Area no longer fighting with other Sword Cultivators, but instead heading straight towards Ye Chen's location, many outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley who were paying attention to both Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi cried out in surprise.

It was no wonder they were astonished.

Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi were the only two out of the mid-Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Area who had broken into the top ten of the Void Heaven Sword Rankings. And both of them had fought their way through other Sword Cultivators in the mid-Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Area without a single defeat!

One was slaughtering all around the south side of the mid-Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Area, and the other was sweeping through the competitors on the north side.

If these two were to actually start fighting with swords, it would undoubtedly be the most pinnacle confrontation in the mid-Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Area!

In other Sword Fighting Areas, those truly ranked in the forefront amongst Sword Cultivator experts seemed, almost by some agreement, still busy eliminating the weaker Sword Cultivators, as if they were saving the real confrontations for last.

Now, Ye Chen, who had secured first place in the earlier contest of condensing Void Heaven Sword Qi, and Murong Qiqi, who was in sixth place, were still at the first and seventh positions even after several hours of sword fighting.

It was natural that a direct fight between such two would attract countless gazes.

"She really is charging towards Ye Chen."

"Murong Qiqi, from the far northern Ice Palace Snowfield, that place is one of the most mysterious in the vast lands. By her demeanor, it seems she is confident she can defeat Ye Chen."

As Murong Qiqi flew past countless Sword Cultivators she had encountered on her way towards Ye Chen, she was mere tens of miles away from him, even more people noticed her actions.

"Daring to directly challenge Ye Chen, the top-ranked contender, this is going to be interesting!"

Seeing that Murong Qiqi truly dared to seek out Ye Chen for sword fighting, countless spectators outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley became excited.

Even Elder Xiao Supreme Elder and other Heavenly Saints like Mu Qingqing had a flash of light in their eyes.

"Previously, Ye Chen has not met any opponents who could match him, and even his most powerful high-level sword formation, the 'Death Storm Sword Formation,' has not been witnessed in use. Perhaps, this Murong Qiqi will force Ye Chen to reveal his true strength."

As countless onlookers outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley were focused on Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi, in the mid-Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Area, Ye Chen also noticed the figure rushing towards him.

"Murong Qiqi?"

"You want to fight me directly with swords?"

As Ye Chen sensed the figure flying straight towards him, and once the figure was over thirty miles away, within the range of his divine sense, he too took flight, moving to meet Murong Qiqi.

A duel with swords?

Ye Chen obviously would not shy away. He was ready to accompany her!

Besides, he was somewhat curious about Murong Qiqi from the far northern Ice Palace Snowfield.

This was the first time he had encountered anyone from the Ice Palace Snowfield. Ye Chen had heard from Heavenly Saint Long Xuan that Heavenly Saint Di Kong, who had left a mysterious legacy in his family and then vanished without a trace, had appeared in the Ice Palace Snowfield over three hundred years ago.

Perhaps, from Murong Qiqi, he could learn something about the Ice Palace Snowfield and get news about Heavenly Saint Di Kong!

Boom! Boom!

Chapter Experience:

One came flying directly, and the other went out to meet the challenge.

In but an instant, Ye Chen had covered the tens of miles and stopped in the void, seventeen or eighteen yards apart from Murong Qiqi, facing each other.

"Ye Chen?" Murong Qiqi looked at the young man in front of her, whose tall figure and extraordinary presence unconsciously made her nod her head.

Ye Chen smiled and turned his attention to the young girl in front of him.

The girl, veiled in a thin layer, revealing only a pair of lively eyes and wearing a snow fur headdress, struck him as quite mysterious: "Murong Qiqi? From the far northern Ice Palace Snowfield? I have long heard of that place. One of my predecessors, known as Heavenly Saint Di Kong, once went there, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. I wonder if Miss Murong has heard of him."

"Heavenly Saint Di Kong?"

Murong Qiqi hadn't expected to seek out Ye Chen for a sword duel only for the young man to directly inquire about someone to her.

Moreover, the name "Di Kong" felt familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before, yet she couldn't recall where.

Seeing Ye Chen looking expectantly at her, Murong Qiqi smiled lightly: "Ye Chen, I am here to fight you with swords, not to solve your puzzles."

"After you have overcome my sword, then you can ask me," she said.

As she spoke, Murong Qiqi shook the azure-colored sword in her hand lightly, and the scabbard flew out, stuck in the ground, revealing the cold, gleaming, precious sword in her hands!

Then, Murong Qiqi raised the tip of her treasured sword, making a starting gesture for sword fighting directly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen hadn't expected the girl to be so straightforward, reluctant to talk further, ready to engage him in sword fighting.

I must defeat her before I can even ask her?

Ye Chen chuckled, "Then let's start with a sword duel!"

With a "swoosh," Ye Chen's Black Fire Sword together with its sheath flew out and planted itself in the ground. Ye Chen held the Black Fire Sword with the tip pointing downward. "Since Miss Murong has said so, then let's begin the duel. Make your move!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The young male and female Sword Cultivators, one wielding a heavy sword radiating black fire and shimmering light, and the other handling a bright treasure sword overflowing with cold light, stood facing each other. In an instant, the freely bursting Sword Intents began to surge around them.

By this time, Ye Chen had already defeated hundreds of Sword Cultivators. The sphere of Void Heaven Sword Qi around him had surged to a height of over thirteen thousand zhang. The quantity of Ye Chen's Void Heaven Sword Qi had even reached more than eighty million strands!

Although Murong Qiqi was somewhat weaker than Ye Chen, she had also eliminated hundreds of Sword Cultivators. The sphere of Void Heaven Sword Qi around her was soaring more than six thousand zhang high, and the number of her Void Heaven Sword Qi strands was also over forty million.

Regardless of who won, they could seize half of the other's remaining Void Heaven Sword Qi, plus all the Void Heaven Sword Qi they had won from other people.

Once the outcome of their sword duel was decided, one of them would have a quantity of Void Heaven Sword Qi exceeding one hundred million!

A quantity of Void Heaven Sword Qi exceeding one hundred million, if converted into True Qi, would absolutely surpass the amount of True Qi of late-stage Spirit Sea Realm practitioners, enabling these Spirit Sea Realm martial artists to assault even higher realms!

Though the Void Heaven Sword Qi could be absorbed into their bodies only after three more days, the spectacle of two individuals encircled by intimidating spheres of Sword Qi preparing for combat naturally drew the attention of countless people!

Even other Sword Cultivators in the mid-stage Spirit Sea Sword Fighting Area who had not yet been eliminated flew towards where Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi were to watch the battle from a distance, let alone the warriors watching from outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley.

Many of the warriors observing from outside the Sword Valley had already risen from their meditation in the void, looking towards Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi.

In the midst of countless gazes, Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi looked at each other for a few moments, then moved simultaneously.

Unlike others who directly channeled their Sword Intents in their duels, the two of them fought directly with their treasure swords, as if they were practicing basic sword techniques that Sword Cultivators learn at the very beginning.

But to the horror of many genuine swordsmen witnessing their swordplay, it seemed that within their sword skills, Subtle essence akin to the ultimate form of Sword Intents was diffusing!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Each clash of swords between Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi, though appearing to be ordinary strikes, sent out shocking bursts of Qi when the lethal force dispersed into the surroundings, even cleaving hundreds of zhang long, enormous sword marks deep into the ground beneath them!

By their tenth move, it was as if with each turn of their sword tips, the infinite Sword Intents in their hands were fully unleashed.

The beginning was a test of swordsmanship, and also a study of the opponent's techniques.

But now, they had both begun using their true elimination moves!

When the infinite Sword Intents were completely released, Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi stood holding their treasure swords, and within a few hundred zhang around them in the void, Sword Intents surged and exploded.

As their eleventh strike collided, the power of the Sword Intents in their hands soared to the level of a high-tier sword formation.

Ye Chen's technique was the powerful high-tier sword formation he had used before in the square, the Death Storm Sword Formation, when facing three opponents at once!

As for Murong Qiqi, her azure treasure sword pointed in the void and the entire space erupted with snowflake-shaped sword lights. These snowflakes descended from the heavens, the Sword Intents bursting from them by no means inferior to Ye Chen's Death Storm Sword Formation!

"My heavens, they were just crossing swords a moment ago, and now they've erupted their Sword Intents to such a level in an instant!"

Seeing Ye Chen unleash the Death Storm Sword Formation, creating a sky-filled Sword Blade Storm that devoured everything, the countless martial artists spectating from outside were stunned; they hadn't expected Ye Chen to use such a powerful sword formation so suddenly.

Clearly, it was likely that Ye Chen, realizing Murong Qiqi's formidable capabilities, was no longer holding back!

Indeed, as anticipated, when Ye Chen's all-devouring Sword Blade Storm furiously attacked Murong Qiqi, her sky-filled snowflake Sword Intent Formation directly collided with Ye Chen's Death Storm with a thunderous impact.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Like a cataclysmic storm meeting a devouring snowstorm, the two extraordinarily powerful high-tier sword formations collided, plunging the whole world into a terrifying frenzy of lethal force.

This terrifying lethality even caused the void to darken, as if the light of the heavens was being consumed and extinguished by this force!

And the horrifying explosions of Sword Intent made the entire mid-stage Spirit Sea Sword Fighting Area shake, the ground where Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi stood collapsing outward for tens of thousands of zhang in all directions.

This scene even caused many other Sword Cultivators watching nearby to change color dramatically and retreat explosively!

The explosions raised a magnificent dust storm that obscured the figures of Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi.

It was not until dozens of explosions had passed that everyone saw Ye Chen and Murong Qiqi both bursting upwards into the heavens almost simultaneously.

And at the same moment, Murong Qiqi sheathed her treasure sword and extended her fair palm gracefully, revealing a dancing white snowflake in her hand.

As the white snowflake appeared, it instantly caused the entire void to chill.

The Heavenly Saints on the outside, especially the formidable rotary pill Sword Cultivators, cried out in unison upon seeing the white snowflake in Murong Qiqi's hand: "A Law Sword Seed, this is the 'Water Element' Law Sword Seed!"
