Chapter 720: New Overlord

The Secrets of Time.

Among the many Martial Arts Secrets, this was one of the most supreme.

Jiang Chen had now raised his Secrets of Time to Tier Nine, and the power of Eternal Rush had grown even greater.

Below the Demigod realm, all would be affected by Eternal Rush. Judging by the effect of that previous sword strike alone, a single blow was enough to shave off a month of cultivation from an Emperor Realm Peak Ghost King.

And that month of time should not be underestimated!

After all, Jiang Chen’s current speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he could unleash tens of thousands of streams of Sword Aura.

He was countless times more powerful than when he was on the Eastern Continent!

Eternal Rush!

Jiang Chen’s Sword Technique was imbued with the power of the Secrets of Time, making it impossible to guard against. Even if one blocked the physical attack of the Sword Technique, they couldn’t stop the corrosion from the Secrets of Time.

This was the terrifying nature of time!

It was everywhere!

Yebo’s expression changed abruptly. He controlled the Ghost King to block the brilliant sword light, but after ten strikes, the gray spreading across the Ghost King’s bones grew more pronounced.

As the Ghost King’s master, he could clearly sense that the Ghost King was beginning to fear the Sword Aura.

‘This is impossible! What kind of trick is this guy using? Why does it seem like the Ghost King’s power weakens with every sword strike it takes…’ Yebo’s face twisted into a ferocious scowl. He simply couldn’t imagine what kind of power could render his invincible Ghost King so helpless!

“Ten Thousand Demons Possession!”

Yebo’s eyes turned crimson as he let out a furious roar.

He was an Emperor Realm Peak expert.

A Five Extremes Genius!

Across the entire Azure Sky Sea, he was an Overlord Level existence. Yet now, he was being cornered by a mere human brat. How could he possibly quell the rage and indignation in his heart?

RUMBLE!

All the black gas within the Yaksha Ghost Realm converged upon the Ghost King. The Ghost King let out a pained roar, its entire body trembling.

This black Demonic Qi continuously clung to the Ghost King’s body.

It couldn’t be shaken off.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

Amidst a series of sounds like grinding bones, a layer of Black Armor formed over the Ghost King’s massive frame. The Black Armor seemed custom-made for the Ghost King, and streams of black light emanated from it. They transformed into ferocious demonic faces—the very same ten thousand demons that the Yaksha had refined into the Yaksha Ghost Realm!

ROAR—

The Ghost King bellowed, its power soaring to the absolute limit.

“Hundred Ghosts Divine Fist!”

Yebo snarled.

Positioned inside the Ghost King, he controlled it, sending its Black Armor-clad fist tearing through the air to kill.

Jiang Chen’s figure flickered.

He pushed his Golden-winged Roc Body Technique to its limits, allowing him to dart through the void, constantly dodging the barrage of fist shadows that blotted out the sky.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The black fist shadows repeatedly struck empty air, shattering the Celestial Vault and causing the Vast Sea to erupt. On Heaven’s Edge Island, the light of the Protective Array flickered continuously.

With every black fist that landed on the Protective Array, ripples spread across the Array’s light barrier in all directions, causing the experts watching from within Heaven’s Edge Island to reveal looks of terror.

They feared that if the Protective Array shattered, they would become collateral damage.

「Inside Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion」

Third Young Master Duann, Duann Yu, was currently dumbfounded, his face deathly pale. Watching Jiang Chen continuously battling Yebo high in the sky, he gulped hard. A look of profound horror filled his eyes as he clenched his fists and prayed, “May all the gods and buddhas grant me this wish: please let Yebo kill that damned Jiang Chen!”

He was truly terrified!

If Jiang Chen survived and decided to settle old scores later, what would he do?

Before this, Duann Yu hadn’t given Jiang Chen a second thought. But at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel afraid. This was a peerless genius who could fight Yebo, the Overlord of the Azure Sky Sea, to a standstill!

Unfortunately, it seemed the gods and buddhas hadn’t heard Duann Yu’s prayer.

Jiang Chen’s figure flashed as he dodged an incoming fist shadow. The wings of light on his back trembled, and he instantly erupted with his most terrifying speed. With a “PAT,” he landed on the Ghost King’s retracting fist. A flicker of his Divine Thought, and the Thunder World enveloped his body as he charged forward, running up the Ghost King’s arm.

CRACKLE! POP!

Bolts of lightning rained down, striking the demonic faces one by one.

The demonic faces shrieked miserably as black smoke billowed from them.

The Ghost King was also in agony. Its other Ghost Claw tried to swat at Jiang Chen, but its speed couldn’t match his at all. Instead, it was continuously struck by streams of Sword Aura that chipped away at its cultivation and lifespan. Even its layer of Black Armor grew dim and much thinner.

SWISH…

Jiang Chen had already reached the Ghost King’s shoulder. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he gripped the Ancient Azure Dragon Sword with both hands. “Nine! Palace! Sword!”

Nine Sword Palaces materialized simultaneously.

They intertwined and spun continuously, like planets orbiting a star, creating a terrifying vortex of Sword Qi.

It descended upon the Ghost King’s left shoulder.

BOOM!

An incredibly terrifying storm of destruction appeared on the Ghost King’s shoulder. Black gas exploded, and even the battle armor was blasted open. Then, with a “PFFT,” the incomparably sharp sword strike severed one of the Ghost King’s arms.

The power of Eternal Rush instantly spread across the wound, turning it gray.

“Collect!”

Jiang Chen opened his palm, and a Devouring Power surged from its center, directly sucking the severed Ghost King’s arm into the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle.

「Inside the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle」

The Black Emperor yelped, “Fuck, what the hell did you just bring in here? Dammit, why is there so much Demonic Qi? Suppress it for me…”

But Jiang Chen paid no mind to the commotion inside the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle.

The corner of his mouth lifted into a smirk. His figure flashed, and he charged into the Ghost King’s body through the wound on its shoulder.

Once inside, the Ghost King roared in fury. Bone Spikes shot out like arrows, their deafening shrieks filling the air as a torrential, overwhelming rain of spikes descended.

Jiang Chen’s expression was calm, completely unfazed. He swung his Sword Technique through the air. “Eternal Rush!”

BUZZ…

Wherever the longsword swept, the Bone Spikes would shudder, turn gray, and their speed and durability would be greatly weakened. When they finally struck Jiang Chen, they shattered with crisp “PANG PANG” sounds. Jiang Chen charged straight ahead, having already severed several ribs.

He collected them all into the Celestial Demon Ancient Castle.

These were the bones of a Ghost King—excellent refining materials!

Before long, Jiang Chen had already reached the heart and stood face-to-face with Yebo.

The two locked eyes, both revealing a chilling killing intent.

Yebo roared, “Jiang Chen, not even the Celestial King himself could save you today!”

“Those who seek to kill will be killed in turn. You want to take my life, so you must pay the price. Yebo, taste my blade!”

Jiang Chen roared and met the challenge with his sword raised.

On Heaven’s Edge Island, countless experts gulped nervously, staring in disbelief at the two figures battling inside the Ghost King’s body, their faces filled with shock and awe.

They knew… that in the Azure Sky Sea, a new Overlord had risen with unstoppable momentum!
