Xu Mi's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

"The Seven-Star Sword Array... you..."

She controlled the massive Peng bird to retreat, her voice filled with utter shock and panic.

The Seven-Star Sword Array of the True Martial Hall was quite famous in Cangzhou, and Xu Mi recognized it.

Yet she never expected that Ye Chen could wield the Seven-Star Sword Array all by himself...

This seemingly impossible feat was accomplished by Ye Chen!

Even though Xu Mi retreated swiftly, she couldn't outrun the sword qi galaxy, the piercing sound of blades breaking through the air was overwhelming, catching up to Xu Mi in an instant.

The sword qi galaxy pierced through the massive Peng bird.

The Peng bird was instantly reduced to a mist of blood!

At the critical moment, Xu Mi separated from the Peng bird, narrowly avoiding that strike.

The seven top-grade spiritual swords, which had merged into one, suddenly dispersed, forming a sword net that trapped Xu Mi within it.

Sharp swords shuttled back and forth, sword qi howling, with the sword light carrying extreme sharpness, evolving layers of killing strikes!

"He is controlling the sword array, seize this chance and kill him!"

There was an angry shout, which brought the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, who were shaken to their core, back to their senses. A group of them roared and attacked Ye Chen from different directions.

Ye Chen's spiritual power was exceptionally strong.

Even while controlling the Seven-Star Sword Array, he could multitask with ease!

An unparalleled murderous sword势 burst forth, and Ye Chen, like an invincible war god, activated the Martial Arts True Eye, seeing through the gaps in the dense attacks. Golden light flickered beneath his feet, dodging layers of attacks and seizing the opportunity to unleash a sword strike that manifested a Cyan Dragon Illusion!

The Cyan Dragon Illusion emerged.

The beasts and beast souls controlled by these Ten Thousand Beasts Sect members were suppressed innately, trembling violently. In an instant, several beasts were shattered to pieces by the sword qi enveloped in the Cyan Dragon Illusion.

High in the sky.

Under Ye Chen's control, the Seven-Star Sword Array evolved into a killing move; the beasts slain, Xu Mi, already suffering from backlash, barely held on for a few breaths, before her body was pierced with thousands of wounds, her corpse falling toward the ground.

Ye Chen charged through the crowd, the seven top-grade spiritual swords diving down, crushing several more disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!

The sword array rushed to Ye Chen's side, swirling and dancing around him, integrating offense and defense, increasing Ye Chen's dominance once again.

These disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect couldn't withstand even a single move from Ye Chen!

In merely a moment.

The battle was already over.

Remnants and fragments of limbs were scattered everywhere, the thick scent of blood lingering in the air.

Ye Chen's thoughts moved, the seven top-grade spiritual swords returned to the Sword Box, then were stored into the Storage Ring. He then carefully searched and collected all the scattered Storage Rings on the ground.

This was his first battle using the Seven-Star Sword Array, and the results were remarkable. However, the drawbacks were also evident, the consumption was too great!

After just a short battle, he already felt exhausted!

This exhaustion wasn't only in terms of spiritual power but also sword yuan.

"Fighting with the Seven-Star Sword Array, with my current strength, I can only maintain it for a quarter-hour at most, even with the constant replenishment of ancient clan origin, I can only last for a moment and a half!"

Ye Chen muttered to himself, feeling somewhat helpless.

Ancient clan origin was also a scarce resource.

Before, he always thought Luo Tian, with his thick eyebrows, was a man lacking stamina, and now, he's almost the same.

Here, having just been through a fight with quite a stir, Ye Chen didn't bother to recover, and hurriedly left.

After a while, Ye Chen confirmed there was no one around, and with a thought, directly entered the Sword Tomb.

The sword-shaped jade pendant was then buried into the sand.

......

At the site of Xu Mi and her group's death, two figures flashed to the scene.

An old man, white-faced and beardless.

And a young man, Xu Tianlong!

Xu Tianlong's breathing was extremely heavy, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.

The flood dragon he had raised was slain by Ye Chen, his strength plummeted, and he was challenged by Qi Cultivator, losing his position on the Qingyun List to him.

Recently, he had enough bad luck, even drinking cold water could choke him!

When he learned that his sister Xu Mi led people into the Flame Desert, he was worried and immediately called a Ten Thousand Beasts Sect elder to hurry over.

The result... he found that his sister Xu Mi was dead!

"Elder, my sister died here!"

Xu Tianlong roared in fury.

The old man frowned deeply, saying, "Tianlong, calm down!"

Xu Tianlong's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing rapid, and he growled, "Ye Chen, it must be Ye Chen, I recognized traces of Ye Chen's swordsmanship!"

The old man asked, "Are you sure?"

"It is definitely him!

Now all the experts of the True Martial Hall have gone to the Soul-breaking Gorge. If Ye Chen came to the Flame Desert, no one would provide shelter for him. Elder, we must find Ye Chen and take his damn life!" Xu Tianlong's voice was hysterical.

The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded.

......

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Little Phoenix lay on the ground, sleeping.

Ye Chen swallowed some elixirs and took out some spirit stones to meditate and cultivate.

About half an hour later, the consumed Spiritual Power and Sword Qi were finally replenished.

Ye Chen took out all the items from the ten-plus Storage Rings he had collected, piling them into small mountains.

The group from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect led by Xu Mi might have found items containing innate flame energy in the Flame Desert.

After some searching, he indeed found three stones containing innate flame energy.

Ye Chen placed these three stones beside the sleeping Little Phoenix.

The innate flame energy slowly seeped into Little Phoenix's body with each breath it took.

Then, Ye Chen also took out everything from his own Storage Ring.

It had been too long since he last organized it, and he had randomly thrown things in; his Storage Ring was completely full.

It was about time to sort everything out properly.

After spending some time, he finally managed to categorize everything neatly.

A large pile of low-grade spirit stones... at least five hundred thousand.

There were also countless bottles and jars of elixirs.

Additionally, a good amount of spirit medicine yet to be refined into elixirs.

There was also a heap of weapons and the like.

"I am actually quite wealthy!" Ye Chen remarked.

Luo Qingyi nodded, and the next moment, a powerful absorbing force burst out from her body.

More than half of Ye Chen's spirit stones, elixirs, and spirit medicine instantly lost their energy.

"..." Ye Chen: "Elder Qingyi..."

"Hmm? You don't need them anyway. I'm just taking a bit. Do you have any objections?"

Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, what's mine is Elder Qingyi's!"

Master Legs also came running over, his two big feet gulping down hungrily...

Instantly, another large portion of Ye Chen's wealth was gone.

"Master Legs..."

"Reluctant?" Master Legs asked.

Ye Chen quickly said, "Master Legs, you misunderstood!"

Just a moment ago, he was feeling wealthy, but in the blink of an eye, he had become penniless. Although Ye Chen was distressed, he indeed had no objections.

Even though Luo Qingyi couldn't leave, she often guided him in cultivation.

Master Legs even taught him the Heaven-Ascending Step and had gone out to help last time.

These things given to them were insignificant.

Even if there were ten or a hundred times more, Ye Chen would still feel it was deserved!

"Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, I always thought you didn't need..." Ye Chen said.

Luo Qingyi said lightly, "There was too little before to consider. Now that you're showing off, of course, I won't stand on ceremony."

Master Legs also said, "If you have any extras in the future, feel free to bring them here."

"Alright!" Ye Chen agreed very promptly and straightforwardly.

Then, as Ye Chen was preparing to put the remaining items away, suddenly, Master Legs cried out, "Wait!"

Master Legs' legs went stomp, stomp, stomp, rushing over to a pile of miscellaneous items.

These were items Ye Chen felt were useless and planned to discard.

Master Legs' footpinched a token and tossed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen quickly dodged.

The token had the smell of feet, very off-putting!

Master Legs had been in the Sword Tomb without wearing shoes, and hadn't washed his feet for tens of thousands of years!

"Pick it up!" Master Legs said grumpily.

Ye Chen responded with an "Oh," and manifested his Sword Intent; a burst of rainwater washed over the token.

Master Legs wished he could lift his big foot and give him a kick!

"What is this?" Ye Chen picked up the cleaned token and examined it, quite curious.

The token was blank on both sides, completely empty.

Ye Chen couldn't even remember where it came from.

Every time he defeated an enemy, he never bothered to consider much and simply threw everything into his Storage Ring.

"Inside it contains a spatial brand, probably used to connect to a certain space. If you extract the spatial brand, you'll be able to travel freely to that space."
