“Phew…!”
As he gazed at the towering Sword Sealing Monument, which reached a height of a hundred feet, Ye Fan felt the terrifying sword aura emanating from above. Taking a deep breath, he no longer hesitated and stepped forward in an instant.
“Whoosh—!”
Suddenly, radiant light burst forth from the Sword Sealing Monument, exploding into blinding brilliance.
In an instant, those rays of light coalesced before Ye Fan into a dazzling phantom resembling the blazing sun.
“Heavenly Sword Emperor!”
Ye Fan was momentarily taken aback.
The master of this suddenly materialized phantom was none other than the figure he had seen on the Ascension Token—the Heavenly Sword Emperor.
It was evident that this phantom was also an image conjured during the Heavenly Sword Emperor's lifetime.
With eyes gleaming with sharpness, the Heavenly Sword Emperor exuded an aura as sharp as a sword. His gaze fell upon Ye Fan, and his tone carried an overwhelming and domineering presence.
He spoke, “Very well. To have come this far, to trigger the Restriction here and meet me, indicates that you are indeed a swordsmanship prodigy worthy of inheriting my legacy.”
“Young one, behind me is the Sword Sealing Monument, which seals my treasured sword from my lifetime, named Thunderous. It is a Supreme Immortal Artifact. With this sword and by mastering my unparalleled sword techniques from my lifetime, you will surely dominate the world and look down upon all.”
“In my lifetime, I traversed the Immortal Realm with just twenty-four swords, undefeated in the world. Thus, I named this sword technique the Twenty-Four Sword Techniques. If you can fully comprehend all twenty-four of my swords, you will undoubtedly benefit immensely and become a true Overlord, making all Immortals submit.”
The expression of the Heavenly Sword Emperor's lingering image was one of immense arrogance and pride.
Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain, a hint of contempt appearing on his face.
Across the world, invincible and unmatched, commanding All Immortals to Submit?
Is that it?
If one were truly invincible, how could they fall?
Moreover, commanding All Immortals to Submit?
That was not the goal Ye Fan sought!
To the gods, immortals are insignificant.
In the eyes of the Divine Emperor, they are even less than that.
However, Ye Fan certainly had no need to discuss such matters with an image.
The projection left by the Heavenly Sword Emperor continued to speak to itself: “Of course, even though you have come this far, if you wish to obtain my treasured sword and Sword Technique, you must still pass the final trial.”
“On this Sword Sealing Monument, I have left behind the Five Element Seal, divided into the Golden Spirit Talisman, Wood Spirit Talisman, Water Spirit Talisman, Fire Spirit Talisman, and Earth Spirit Talisman. The five powers of the five elements are all contained within this Sword Sealing Monument. As long as you can refine them all, this Sword Sealing Monument will naturally be unsealed.”
“Only then can you obtain my Supreme Sword of the Heavens and Twenty-Four Sword Techniques.”
“Haha, young one, that’s all! Good luck to you.”
With that, the figure of the Heavenly Sword Emperor vanished as the image dissipated before Ye Fan.
“The Supreme Immortal Artifact seems quite useful in my current situation and will likely serve me well for a long time to come.”
“As for that nonsense about the Twenty-Four Sword Techniques?”
Ye Fan shook his head in disdain.
He, the illustrious Divine Emperor, could casually recall one or two Sword Techniques from his memory that would far surpass any of the so-called Twenty-Four Sword Techniques.
However, since he needed to collect the Heavenly Sword Emperor's sword, Thunderous, along with the thousands of Celestial Artifact Flying Swords, he still had to refine the Sword Sealing Monument.
"Five Element Seal, huh?"
Ye Fan stepped forward and approached the Sword Sealing Monument. He concentrated his Sword Intent to condense a blade of sword energy and struck it directly against the stone sword.
"Boom!"
The impact sent ripples through the air. The sword energy Ye Fan had conjured seemed to ignite the stone sword instantly. In an instant, overwhelming pressure emanated from the stone sword, and a terrifying aura of swords spread out, with endless sword energy shooting skyward.
Before the stone sword, thousands of Celestial Artifact Flying Swords began to tremble violently. Each Celestial Artifact Flying Sword radiated a tremendous Sword Light, soaring into the sky and dispersing in all directions.
Ye Fan was taken aback and quickly mobilized his own Sword Intent, spreading it like a vast net that enveloped the entire Sword Sealing Monument.
With his formidable Sword Intent, he began to suppress the power emanating from the Sword Sealing Monument.
"Buzz!"
However, the Sword Sealing Monument continued to tremble. At that moment, five differently colored seals emerged on the sword monument.
Each seal contained a unique power, and these five forces circled around the Sword Sealing Monument, completely enveloping it.
"Domain of the Origin Sky!"
Ye Fan's figure soared into the air as he activated the Domain of the Origin Sky, which also enveloped the entire Sword Sealing Monument. He then extended a hand and gently pressed forward.
His own Sword Intent merged with that of the Sword Sealing Monument, creating an incredibly terrifying storm of sword energy.
However, it was clearly impossible to suppress the five types of seal powers emanating from the Sword Sealing Monument with just this.
With Ye Fan's current strength, he was not capable of doing so.
But the Domain of the Origin Sky was different; it could devour everything and transform all powers.
Perhaps it was worth a try.
"Whoosh—!"
Within the coverage of the Domain of the Origin Sky, a tremendous suction force erupted from Ye Fan's palm, continuously drawing in the power from the Sword Sealing Monument layer by layer into his body.
Then, using the power of the Domain of the Origin Sky, he began to slowly assimilate and absorb it.
Moments later, a smile appeared on Ye Fan's face.
Whether it was the overwhelming sword energy emanating from the Sword Sealing Monument or the power of the Five Element Seal, both could be absorbed through the Domain of the Origin Sky and transformed for his own use.
"This method is feasible."
Ye Fan retracted his palm and floated directly at the midpoint of the Sword Sealing Monument.
He then spread his arms wide, slightly closing his eyes. At that moment, every pore in Ye Fan's body opened up, creating thousands of pulling forces.
From the Sword Sealing Monument, the power of the Five Element Seal continuously dissipated, transforming into strands of colorful silk threads that flowed towards Ye Fan's body.
As time passed, Ye Fan seemed to be enveloped in a layer of multicolored energy, resembling a giant cocoon.
In contrast, the power of the Five Element Seal on the Sword Sealing Monument grew fainter and fainter.
Not long after, it vanished.
“Boom——!!!”
As the power of the Five Element Seal on the Sword Sealing Monument was instantly absorbed by Ye Fan, the stones surrounding the Sword Sealing Monument exploded into fragments, scattering debris all around.
Then, a dazzling and extraordinary celestial sword, radiating sword energy that pierced the heavens, floated before Ye Fan.
The celestial sword seemed to break free from its seal, continuously emitting joyful sword cries and unleashing an overwhelming pressure of Celestial Artifacts.
“Clang——!”
“Rustle——!”
As if thousands of swords were paying homage, the myriad Celestial Artifact Flying Swords simultaneously resonated with the sound of sword cries at that moment.
Then, they all turned in unison, tilting their bodies to bow before the extraordinary celestial sword in front of Ye Fan.
In an instant, a symphony of swords echoed throughout the air.
