"Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art!"

"You've actually cultivated the 'Beiming Secret Tome', and you've even mastered the third layer?!"

The Three-Eyed Skeleton couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He had already made up his mind to execute Ye Chen, but when he saw the light of the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art on Ye Chen's flying sword, that determination suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Beiming Secret Tome."

"How does this Three-Eyed Skeleton know the name 'Beiming Secret Tome'?"

The exclamation of the Three-Eyed Skeleton shook Ye Chen to his core, leaving him in disbelief.

His Beiming Secret Tome was obtained from the Divine Sword that fell into the Barbaric Wilderness Continent from one of the six ancient clans in the Minor Spirit Realm, the Beiming Clan.

Ye Chen had used the Beiming Secret Tome techniques many times, and this was the first time someone had called it by name directly.

Moreover, it was the mysterious and strange Three-Eyed Skeleton from the Five Elements Mountain who had named the Beiming Secret Tome.

Ye Chen couldn't help but be utterly astonished.

But at this moment, at the final phase of the life-or-death battle, Ye Chen had no time for surprise. He saw that the Three-Eyed Skeleton seemed to be caught in some inexplicable astonishment, so of course, he would not miss the best opportunity to slay the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

In an instant, Ye Chen disappeared from the void. The next moment, his flying sword "Crimson Fire," imbued with his Divine Power and flashing with the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art—metal, wood, water, fire, earth Divine Arts, and even enhanced with the might of the 810 forms of Ye Chen's ice-sealed Divine Body—suddenly shot out towards the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

At that time, with the strongest techniques of Ye Chen enhancing it, the entire supreme sacred weapon, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, had turned entirely red. It completely pierced through the void, and for a brief moment, time and space in the void seemed to come to a mysterious halt.

The next moment, the flying sword "Crimson Fire" pierced directly towards the skull of the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

At this point, the Three-Eyed Skeleton recovered from his shock. It seemed he was unwilling to directly confront Ye Chen, and he rapidly retreated backward.

But his retreat was no match for the speed of the "Crimson Fire" flying sword— which contained all of Ye Chen's combat power, was it?

The flying sword still charged directly towards his skull.

Seeing that the flying sword "Crimson Fire" could potentially pierce through the skull of the Three-Eyed Skeleton in the next moment, the Three-Eyed Skeleton finally stopped dodging. The golden lethal light from his third eye—which had been gathering but not yet released—suddenly shot out towards the approaching flying sword.

The red light of the flying sword "Crimson Fire" collided with the golden lethal light from the third eye in the next moment, right in the midst of the void.

This tremendous collision created a terrifying void black hole at the point of impact, and at the same time, an immense Divine Force resulting from the collision sent the flying sword, along with Ye Chen and the Three-Eyed Skeleton on the other side, flying backward in a frantic retreat!

"I still can't slay the Three-Eyed Skeleton?"

Seeing that even a sudden strike while the Three-Eyed Skeleton was distracted still failed to kill him, Ye Chen, mid-retreat, already knew that his only option left was to trigger the simultaneous self-destruction of the True God Talisman given to him by True Phoenix and Mu Lan True God, along with the self-destruction of his life-bound flying sword, to engage in a final cataclysmic battle with the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

However, in that scenario, it was likely not just he, but also the nine ice-sealed guardians, who might not survive.

As Ye Chen entertained this final thought, the Three-Eyed Skeleton on the other side was also in complete shock.

Not only did he witness Ye Chen using the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art, but even his golden lethal light, which he emitted on instinct at the last moment, was still blocked by Ye Chen.

Neither could overpower the other with their ultimate moves.

Thinking of the origins of the Great Five Elements Sword Light, the Three-Eyed Skeleton no longer intended to fight Ye Chen.

"Cease fighting."

From within the void, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, having stopped his retreat, directly called out loudly to Ye Chen.

"Cease fighting?"

Hearing the Three-Eyed Skeleton's voice, both Ye Chen and the nine ice-sealed guardians turning towards him looked at the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

Beforehand, the Three-Eyed Skeleton had claimed he would definitely kill him, so of course, Ye Chen would show no weakness towards the Three-Eyed Skeleton. If it were truly a fight to the death, then it would definitely last to the bitter end.

But the sudden mention of "Great Five Elements Sword Light" by the Three-Eyed Skeleton, combined with the moment of shocked hesitation, and now the direct shout to stop fighting, made Ye Chen's heart skip a beat.

Could it be that there was a turnaround in this battle to the death?

Though Ye Chen remained extremely wary of the ruthlessness of the Three-Eyed Skeleton, he also knew that even if he used all of his trump cards, the best he could hope for was a mutual destruction with the Three-Eyed Skeleton, and not to emerge victorious while slaying the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

Now that the Three-Eyed Skeleton had called for a halt, Ye Chen wanted to hear what the Three-Eyed Skeleton had to say.

"Weren't you set on killing me? Why call for a halt?"

In the midst of the void, hundreds of zhang apart, Ye Chen, with the flying sword and True God Talisman in hand, asked the Three-Eyed Skeleton.

However, the Three-Eyed Skeleton didn't directly answer Ye Chen's question. His three eyes fixed on Ye Chen, he said, "Young man, your techniques have surprised me time and again, but what surprised me the most was the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art you just used."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I must ask you, where did you obtain the Beiming Secret Tome, to practice this Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art?"

Hearing the Three-Eyed Skeleton mention the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art and the Beiming Secret Tome again, Ye Chen had an epiphany.

This Three-Eyed Skeleton definitely had a connection with the Beiming Secret Tome and the Beiming Clan.

Otherwise, of all Ye Chen's techniques, many were far more powerful than the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art, and the Three-Eyed Skeleton wouldn't have been so astoundingly surprised by it, let alone be able to name the Beiming Secret Tome behind it.

"Where I got the Beiming Secret Tome from?" Ye Chen looked towards the Three-Eyed Skeleton, "I might as well tell you, I obtained this secret tome from a divine sword that had fallen from the Beiming Clan."

"According to the Spirit of the Divine Sword, over three thousand years ago, its master, a true god of the Beiming Clan, had a battle with a true god of the Blood God Clan, which eventually led to the divine sword's fall."

"Over three thousand years ago?"

"You fought a true god of the Blood God Clan and caused the divine sword to fall, from which you obtained the Beiming Secret Tome?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the Three-Eyed Skeleton's three divine eyes flashed with a moment of inexplicable emotion.

Filled with sorrow, he exclaimed, "No wonder I haven't seen my master for so many years; his Divine Sword has fallen. It turns out, he had an encounter with a true god of the Blood God Clan! It must have been over the matter of the 'Beiming Divine Sea!'"

"The Blood God Clan again! Because of that beast's betrayal, I almost died at the hands of the Blood God Clan, my Divine Body nearly annihilated. As it turns out, my master also met with disaster because of the Blood God Clan!"

"I can't deal with the Blood God Clan yet, but this time, I absolutely cannot let that beast off lightly!"

In his indignation, the Three-Eyed Skeleton finally calmed down and collected his thoughts.

He looked directly at Ye Chen, "Young man, I was absolutely going to kill you, but since you are related to the Beiming Clan, this time, I will spare your life."

"Tell me, where did you encounter that fallen divine sword?"

Ye Chen gazed deeply at the Three-Eyed Skeleton, "Spare my life? If we really fought, even if I couldn't kill you, we'd both probably perish together—it's not a matter of you sparing me. And as for where the Sword of the Divine Artifact is, I won't tell you."

Though Ye Chen was surprised by the change in the Three-Eyed Skeleton's demeanor and even faintly guessed its association with the Beiming Clan.

But now was not the time to spill everything he knew.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the Three-Eyed Skeleton laughed instead of getting angry, "Good, you are truly worthy of being the youth who obtained the inheritance from the Divine Sword!"

"Since you are unwilling to inform me about the Divine Sword, once I deal with the matters of the Five Elements Mountain, I will eventually unravel the truth."

"Moreover, I want to let you know, it's indeed very hard for me to kill you, and if I truly exerted all my power to kill you, I would suffer a great loss, affecting the important matters of my Five Elements Mountain. But if it really came down to the last moment, as a True God, it would be quite difficult for you to have us both perish together," the Three-Eyed Skeleton remarked.

"Haha, young man, until we meet again!"

This skeleton laughed heartily and truly paid no further attention to Ye Chen, not engaging in a deadly struggle with him. Instead, it reached out a large hand toward the ground, and the corpse of the youth at the mid-stage of Heavenly Saint, who was using the cyan basket and the cyan belt magical treasures, along with the incredibly physically strong late-stage Heavenly Saint expert, and the corpse of another late-stage Heavenly Saint expert who used Divine Soul attack methods, instantly flew towards him.

At the same time, three crystal-clear beads, carrying the dissipated and scattered Divine Souls of these three people, also entered the hand of the skeleton.

Finally, with a large grasp toward the small earthen temple, something else flew out from within it, landing directly in his hand.

Seeing that object, Ye Chen was also shocked, because it was exactly like the iron box that contained the Treasure Cave Key, which he had received from Ao Lei!

In the hand of the Three-Eyed Skeleton, there also lay a "Treasure Cave Key" used to enter the Divine Heritage Cave!

After taking all the items into his possession, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, right in front of Ye Chen's eyes, transformed into a beam of white light and plunged directly into the corpse of the youth at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint using the cyan basket and the cyan belt magical treasures.

In the endless flashes of white light, something astonishing happened.

The previously deceased mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth suddenly flipped his eyes open, his eyelids reopening, and even the three large blood holes in his body instantly healed.

The mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth seemed to come back to life.

But Ye Chen knew that this was definitely not the original mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth. Apparently, the Three-Eyed Skeleton had used some unknown method to enter the corpse of this mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth!

"Could it be a Transmigration Technique?" Ye Chen remembered that he nearly got his body taken over by Heavenly Saint Moya in the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb.

But that had involved using a Divine Soul to enter the body of a living person, eradicating the living person's Divine Soul to take over their body for himself.

Ye Chen had never seen anyone using a skeleton to take over a dead person's corpse like this!

As if hearing Ye Chen say the word "Transmigration," the "revived" mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth smiled at Ye Chen, "This is not a Transmigration. This is my True God technique called 'Soul Transformation' secret method!"

The expression while talking was truly that of the Three-Eyed Skeleton!

After addressing Ye Chen, the Three-Eyed Skeleton no longer concerned himself with Ye Chen. He collected the few treasures he had acquired, and also took the two late-stage Heavenly Saint corpses, then reached out towards the distance. The previously closed gap to the exit of the ancient forbidden land appeared once again.

Then, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, now inhabiting the body of the mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth, gave Ye Chen, who was still in shock, one last deep look. In an instant, he shot towards the exit of the ancient forbidden land and disappeared in the next moment.
