Chapter 128: Chapter 110 Barbarian Thunder
Whoosh!
In the void, Ye Chen's hand formed a vacuum and reached for the token. The Teleportation Token, which fell after Luo Qianxue dissipated, shot through the air from dozens of meters away and flew straight towards Ye Chen, finally landing directly in his hand.
"The sixteenth level Teleportation Token!"
After gripping the token tightly, Ye Chen spread the silvery Wind and Thunder wings behind him and floated back to the ground.
Whoosh!
With a thought, the silvery Wind and Thunder wings formed from Gang Yuan True Qi disappeared without a trace.
Ye Chen sat down on the ground.
Having killed Luo Qianxue's phantasmal presence and obtained the Teleportation Token, Ye Chen could now cultivate on the fifteenth floor for thirty days before directly entering the sixteenth level of the Ancient God Tower!
"Slaughter Sword Intent?"
Ye Chen, who sat down cross-legged, was reflecting on the gains and losses from the battle with Luo Qianxue.
The extremely fast flight speed of the wings that sprouted from Luo Qianxue's back, her fiery cloud formation, and the astounding change of her wings that increased in strength by dozens of times, all exposed Ye Chen to new methods of combat.
And Luo Qianxue's last words about Slaughter Sword Intent sparked even more thoughts in Ye Chen.
"The Slaughter Sword Intent, this surpasses the Fundamental Sword Intent, reaching a deeper level of Slaughter Sword Intent!"
Luo Qianxue's cry of astonishment still echoed in Ye Chen's ears.
"Could it be that after I complete the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent and attempt to merge the 'Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning' four Sword Intents, the newly formed Sword Intent is called 'Slaughter Sword Intent'?" Ye Chen thought.
The massive sword shadow that Ye Chen used to slay Luo Qianxue's phantasmal presence contained the terrifying power of slaughter, resulting from his arduous practice in the past year, becoming an incredibly powerful ace up his sleeve.
Once Ye Chen had mastered the Sword Intent of Thunder, as he practiced the Wind-Thunder Combined Strike Sword Skills, he attempted to merge the Wind Sword Intent with the Sword Intent of Thunder, and indeed, the resulting power was astonishingly powerful!
At that time, Ye Chen wondered if he could also blend the other two Sword Intents he had mastered, the Storm Rain Sword Intent and the Purple Lightning Sword Intent, into the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent.
To his surprise, after merging the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent, it could also blend with the Storm Rain Sword Intent and the Purple Lightning Sword Intent, immediately elevating the power of Ye Chen's Sword Intent to a new level!
Suddenly, a new type of Sword Intent emerged, one imbued with the murderous intent of wind, the lethal force of rain, the deadly power of thunder, and the destructive energy of lightning - a completely new Sword Intent infused with endless power of slaughter!
Ye Chen never imagined that Sword Intents could merge and give rise to even more powerful Sword Intents!
This discovery thrilled him beyond measure!
Faced with Luo Qianxue's strongest attack, the shocking Wings Strike, he directly infused this stronger, fused Sword Intent into his Gang Yuan True Qi, forming a massive sword shadow, and struck directly at Luo Qianxue.
Unexpectedly, this Sword Intent truly had a miraculous effect, possessing a mighty power that vanquished Luo Qianxue on the spot!
Now, the words "Slaughter Sword Intent" cried out by Luo Qianxue provided Ye Chen with the name for this more powerful Sword Intent.
"Sword Intent, the highest realm of sword cultivation, mysterious beyond compare. Back in Qingyun Sect, where I trained, hardly anyone could cultivate to the level of Sword Intent, so my knowledge of Sword Intent is extremely limited."
"Who would have thought that Sword Intent could blend in such a wondrous way, Slaughter Sword Intent? This name indeed matches the lethal power of my Sword Intent!"
"Luo Qianxue, coming from the Flying Spirit Clan, is an invincible expert of the True Qi Realm and certainly has extraordinary insights.
She said that Slaughter Sword Intent surpasses the Fundamental Sword Intent, which means that the 'Wind Sword Intent,' 'Storm Rain Sword Intent,' 'Sword Intent of Thunder,' and 'Purple Lightning Sword Intent' I cultivated earlier are all Fundamental Sword Intents?"
"Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, they are indeed the fundamental forms of natural elements…"
"Perhaps once I manage to reach the top three in the selection for true disciples of Taixuan Sect, and join this sixth-rank great sect, I will be able to learn more about Sword Intents."
Ye Chen felt that he still had much to learn about Sword Intents, but although his knowledge was limited, the fighting capability of his current Sword Intents, which even allowed him to slay the invincible True Qi Realm expert Luo Qianxue, was what truly mattered.
If he didn't understand now, he could always learn more in the future.
Without dwelling any further on Sword Intents, and with thirty days left to cultivate before facing the even more formidable guardians of the sixteenth level of the Ancient God Tower, Ye Chen resumed his rigorous training of various techniques!
Outside the Ancient God Tower.
When the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact saw Ye Chen slay the phantasmal presence of Luo Qianxue and successfully obtain the Teleportation Token to the sixteenth level, it began to shout excitedly.
"He's succeeded!"
"Ye Chen has successfully broken into the sixteenth level of the Ancient God Tower!"
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact couldn't help but be overjoyed, as this was the first time someone had managed to break into the sixteenth level of the Ancient God Tower in more than a thousand years since Heavenly Saint Di Kong acquired it!
Even Heavenly Saint Di Kong had never seen the sixteenth level of the Ancient God Tower activated; in another three days, the equivalent of thirty days within the tower, it would finally witness it.
The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact was of course incredibly excited!
While the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact was overjoyed, the golden monkey who had been watching the fierce battle between Ye Chen and Luo Qianxue was even more ecstatic and inexplicable.
This palm-sized, golden-furred monkey, shimmering with divine and colorful light, although it could not speak, was extremely lively!
When the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact mentioned that Ye Chen would take it out of this secret realm, the little monkey became exceedingly curious about Ye Chen, paying him great attention.
Seeing Ye Chen so powerful, not only able to transform into marvelous flying wings but also possessing unparalleled combat strength and an awe-inspiring fighting spirit, the little monkey liked Ye Chen even more!
"Ee ya!"
When Ye Chen's gigantic sword shadow shattered Luo Qianxue's amazing wings and won the battle, the golden monkey couldn't help but call out excitedly!
Three days quickly passed by.
While the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact and the golden monkey were still not over their excitement, Ye Chen, who had been cultivating for another thirty days in the Ancient God Tower, was finally teleported to the sixteenth floor.
The sixteenth floor was the last of the final three layers of the eighteen-layer Ancient God Tower!
The trials Ye Chen faced in the Ancient God Tower, as well as the tower's magical flow of time, were down to the last three levels.
After Ye Chen was teleported to the sixteenth floor, both the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact and the golden monkey outside the tower, and Ye Chen inside the tower, all looked towards the sixteenth floor of the Ancient God Tower simultaneously.
The space of this sixteenth floor was even vast and wide, like a real world.
However, unlike the blood-red fire clouds and blood-red plants everywhere on the fifteenth floor, the world of the sixteenth floor of the Ancient God Tower was a yellowish-brown plain, with even the sky being a shade of yellowish-brown.
At that moment, a burly figure was sitting cross-legged not far from Ye Chen's teleportation spot, and as soon as Ye Chen entered the sixteenth floor, this figure immediately opened his eyes.
"Is this the Guardian Protector of the sixteenth floor?"
Ye Chen sized up the figure.
Just sitting cross-legged, he was seven or eight meters tall, like a small mountain!
He was bare-chested, revealing groups of muscles as solid as dragon coils, obviously containing incredible power within! More mystically, his flesh was marked with strange patterns that occasionally glowed with light.
Huge in size, immense in strength, and a mysterious race—all these were Ye Chen's first impressions of this figure on the sixteenth floor.
As Ye Chen was examining the figure, the figure stood up, towering over sixteen meters, several times taller than Ye Chen.
The moment he stood up, his huge size became even more apparent, with explosive power hidden under the mystical flesh.
"Trialist, I didn't expect you to even defeat Luo Qianxue!"
"Your Sword Intents surprise me!"
The towering figure spoke to Ye Chen, his voice booming like thunder.
"Senior, you know about the battle between me and Senior Luo Qianxue?" Ye Chen asked in surprise upon hearing the towering figure's words.
He had never heard the Guardian Protectors of lower floors mention the events of previous floors in his journey through the Ancient God Tower before. Now, this towering figure speaking about Ye Chen's Sword Intents clearly knew about Ye Chen's battle with Luo Qianxue!
The towering figure laughed loudly, "Trialist, I am 'Barbarian Thunder,' the Guardian Protector of the sixteenth floor, and like Luo Qianxue, I was one of the unparalleled talents favored by the master of the Ancient God Tower during the True Qi Realm competition. I am an invincible master of the True Qi Realm from the 'Barbarian Blood Clan'."
"We, the defenders of the last four floors, managed to leave our spiritual illusions within this Ancient God Tower, of course, different from other puppet protectors. Not only can I see your trials on the fifteenth floor, but the guardians on the seventeenth floor above can also see our battle soon!"
An invincible master of the True Qi Realm from the Barbarian Blood Clan!
Ye Chen remembered what Luo Qianxue had told him. Luo Qianxue mentioned that the original master of the Ancient God Tower had invited mighty warriors from all races and held a huge competition in the True Qi Realm. From billions of True Qi cultivators, they selected four of the strongest in the True Qi Realm to leave their spiritual illusions and guard the last four floors of the Ancient God Tower.
Luo Qianxue was an invincible master of the True Qi Realm from the Flying Spirit Clan, guarding the fifteenth floor!
This Barbarian Thunder, stronger than Luo Qianxue, guarded the sixteenth floor and was an invincible master of the True Qi Realm from the Barbarian Blood Clan!
Although Ye Chen did not know what the Barbarian Blood Clan was, the fact that Barbarian Thunder was stronger than Luo Qianxue showed his extraordinariness.
Now, having witnessed the battle between Ye Chen and Luo Qianxue, and already aware of Ye Chen's Sword Intents as a trump card, Barbarian Thunder was likely to be even more difficult to handle!
Ye Chen, looking at Barbarian Thunder who was as sturdy as a small hill, grew solemn as well.
Noticing Ye Chen's grave expression, Barbarian Thunder laughed heartily, "Come on, trialist, let's not waste time!"
"The fact that you've made it to the sixteenth floor already proves your strength. I too want to spar with you, to see who among us is stronger,"
"Bring out all your skills. Just Sword Intents alone, I'm afraid, won't be enough to deal with me!"
Boom!
As Barbarian Thunder spoke, his massive feet stomped down forcefully, and he instantly shot towards Ye Chen.
