Primordial Star Scripture

This sword is the Heavenly Devouring Sword!

This path is the endless journey of time-space devour!

The voice echoing in the vast square shook Ye Chen's heart.

Ye Chen did not expect that the Divine Sword most suitable for him was not the sword of slaughter and arduous cultivation, after all, Ye Chen's abilities in slaughter and arduous cultivation were absolutely formidable.

The one most suitable for Ye Chen turned out to be the top-ranking devouring sword!

Could it be that the difficulty, time-space devour, was more suitable for Ye Chen than slaughter and arduous cultivation?!

However, this is also a good thing.

After all, this is the number one ranked Divine Sword among the nine hundred and ninety-nine Divine Swords.

When it comes to the Divine Sword Ye Chen desires the most, of course, it's this strongest Divine Sword!

Bang! Bang!

As Ye Chen's mind and spirit surged, suddenly, on the enormous square, the Heavenly Staircases on the left and right sides, along with the two Divine Swords above, vanished.

On the entire enormous square, only the single Heavenly Staircase in the middle remained, along with the only Divine Sword at the top of it!

"Go and explore!"

"Whether you can acquire the Divine Sword most suitable for you depends on your own skills!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, Ye Chen directly stepped forward, ascending the thousands of stone steps.

At the same time, as the Heavenly Staircases and Divine Swords on both sides disappeared.

Outside the cave.

Upon the mountain body.

The Divine Light emerging from the topmost three mountain caves suddenly retracted from the second and third caves, and then, they disappeared completely.

Only the topmost, number one ranked cave remained, its entrance surrounded by the most brilliant Divine Light!

This scene fell into the eyes of Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, Xiaozhao, and three elderly folks who were concentrating on the situation within the Flying Waterfall, astonishing everyone outside.

Xiaozhao and the three elderly ones revealed expressions of incredulity.

Meanwhile, Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao asked simultaneously, "Does this mean, that the leader (Ye Chen little friend, Ye) is most suitable for the top-ranking Divine Sword?!"

After all, with the Divine Light of the second and third caves disappearing, only the first cave's Divine Light still shining, this inevitably led Wei Xuan and the others to this speculation.

As they inquired, the three elderly ones also paused briefly, then finally nodded, "Indeed."

"Who would have thought, that the most suitable for this young friend Ye Chen is indeed the top-ranking 'Heavenly Devouring' Divine Sword!"

"We don't know if this will bring him good fortune or misfortune."

"Yes." Xiaozhao worriedly said from the side, "The 'Heavenly Devouring' Divine Sword ranks first, if Ye Chen can acquire it, of course, it's the best. However, being ranked first also means it's the hardest to obtain, as this involves the most difficult test path of space-time devour! I have ventured on this path myself. There are a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps on the Heavenly Staircase. The higher one climbs, the further along the test path one goes. Back then, I could not even pass the hundred steps at the bottom!"

"This trial is the hardest one!"

Xiaozhao's words caused Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao to reveal worried expressions as well.

If the most suitable is this First Divine Sword, but it is not ultimately acquired, it would be too regrettable!

"Everything depends on this Ye Chen."

In the end, the Little Child's words brought everyone back to silence.

Everyone refocused their gaze on the mountain body behind the waterfall. This time, all eyes were fixed on the only number one ranked mountain cave at the top!

Indeed.

Everything depends on Ye Chen.

They outside, no matter how much they think, it's useless. They can only wait for the final result!

...

"Is this the trial path of the First Divine Sword?"

At the moment Ye Chen stepped on the Heavenly Staircase, he felt an endless mysterious energy swirling around him.

Time was passing swiftly and then reversing quickly. Space was expanding, contracting, and shifting at a rapid pace. Endless power was devouring all that was his and then restoring it...

This trial is profoundly mysterious, indescribable!

The only thing Ye Chen could do was to maintain his true self amidst all trials and strive to climb higher on the Heavenly Staircase!

In an instant, Ye Chen had climbed over a hundred steps of the Heavenly Staircase.

If Xiaozhao could see Ye Chen's actual journey, she would undoubtedly scream. She had climbed this Heavenly Staircase herself, and every upward step was extremely difficult. She never heard of anyone climbing at such speed!

Ye Chen's speed was as if he were climbing normally!

It seemed this time-space devour path had no effect on him!

Of course, there was an effect. All this only showed that Ye Chen exceeded everyone's expectations, could withstand the trial of the Heavenly Staircase, and had the ability to climb towards the top!

Several moments later, Ye Chen reached the steps of the one thousand level of the Heavenly Staircase.

Here, Ye Chen encountered a new trial.

A variety of strange demons were attacking him from the space of the Heavenly Staircase!

Yet, Ye Chen sensed a kind of Divine Power from the Heavenly Staircase.

Ye Chen directly absorbed the Divine Power from the stairs while battling these strange demons.

Finally, Ye Chen annihilated all the demons and passed another vast section of the Heavenly Staircase!

Ye Chen directly ascended to the two thousand level of the steps!

This time, the trial changed again.

Ye Chen suddenly discovered that the steps were inscribed with a special mystical Secret Technique. This Secret Technique involved great mysteries of time, space, and devour!

Of course, these mysteries could not be cultivated.

They appeared on the steps only to test Ye Chen, whether he could adapt to these mysteries!

With each step Ye Chen took, a mystery was activated, beginning to swirl around him!

Ye Chen also immersed himself in these various mystical environments, experiencing the supreme mysteries of time, space, and devour, even though he could not yet cultivate them but could feel them!

Within this, the two mysteries of time and devouring, Ye Chen can only vaguely sense them.

However, the great mystery of space, some of it is related to Ye Chen's practice of the Space Star Aperture and Great Spatial Divine Skill!

This time.

Ye Chen climbed a full three thousand steps, from two thousand steps all the way to five thousand steps!

Ye Chen surprisingly broke through this incredibly difficult challenge once again!

Above five thousand steps, as he continued to climb, each step of the heavenly staircase was shrouded in layers of dense fog.

As he climbed, Ye Chen even felt, as he plunged into the fog, that his divine sense, thoughts, senses, everything seemed to be engulfed in the fog.

Ye Chen's steps slowed significantly!

Ye Chen could only climb upwards by relying on his senses!

This climb lasted another full four thousand steps!

Ye Chen didn't even know how long he had been climbing, perhaps there was a time flow rate in the steps as well. Ye Chen felt as if he was walking down a road of endless avenues, but eventually, when the fog cleared, Ye Chen had passed this stage!

Ye Chen had directly reached the nine thousandth step!

By this time, above Ye Chen's head, the remaining steps were few.

On this last stretch, as Ye Chen climbed upwards, he directly felt like he was walking on a path of replication.

As he followed this path, he seemed to sense a Sword Cultivator, from starting to cultivate the sword to becoming stronger!

Each step contained a segment of this Sword Cultivator's swordsmanship training!

And this stage's challenge for Ye Chen had turned into a comparative test!

Ye Chen surprisingly felt that his own divine soul seemed to be trapped in this replication, as if he was starting to cultivate the sword step by step just like this Sword Cultivator.

Regardless of what swordsmanship he practiced, his speed was no slower than that of the Sword Cultivator!

With each step he surpassed the Sword Cultivator, he climbed another step!

Ye Chen continued to climb, which meant constantly surpassing the path the Sword Cultivator once took!

As he walked and surpassed all the way, in the end, it was no longer Ye Chen himself surpassing, but his divine soul producing a potential reaction, replicating with potential, and surpassing!

Ye Chen didn't know how long he had been walking, but eventually, he only felt that in one sword contest, he slashed down the Sword Cultivator's Divine Sword.

The next moment.

Ye Chen's mind suddenly cleared, and when he looked again, he realized that he had reached the highest point of the heavenly staircase, the topmost step!

In front of him, there was no longer any staircase to climb, only a single Divine Sword remained, the first-ranked "Heavenly Devouring" Divine Sword!

At close range, viewing this First Divine Sword, Ye Chen increasingly sensed its mystery.

This sword's blade was six feet three inches long, and the whole blade continuously shimmered with black and white divine light. Ye Chen even felt that with the stirring divine light, there was a powerful devouring force formed by the power of time and space!

It seemed, with a slash of this Divine Sword, it could devour everything, including space and time!

Incredibly mysterious.

Ye Chen looked at the Divine Sword as if he could sense its breathing.

Ye Chen also took a deep breath.

Then, Ye Chen reached into the void and grabbed the sword's hilt. Surprisingly, without any hindrance, Ye Chen directly picked up the Divine Sword, raised it high!

Boom!

The next moment, the Divine Sword erupted with an incredibly blinding light, engulfing both the sword itself and Ye Chen.

In the next moment, Ye Chen wasn't exiting from the third cave he had entered earlier but flew directly out from the topmost First Cave.

The Divine Sword "Heavenly Devouring" still in Ye Chen's hand!

Ye Chen successfully took the First Divine Sword!

When Ye Chen appeared outside the cave again, the Divine Sword in his hand was so dazzling it nearly blinded everyone outside!

The three elders of Ancient Sword Village, Gu Xiaozhao, Little Child, Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao were momentarily stunned.

The next moment, there was an eruption of earth-shaking cheers outside!

"Ye has succeeded!"

"Young friend Ye Chen has even succeeded in taking the First Divine Sword!"

"The Sect Master... the Sect Master has succeeded!"

The cheers from Chining Xiaoxiao, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Wei Xuan also infected Gu Xiaozhao.

Gu Xiaozhao also showed a smile of extreme delight.

Although this Divine Sword was in Ancient Sword Village, it didn't truly belong to the village but was left by an unimaginable predecessor. The predecessor said, whoever has the ability can take it away.

Ancient Sword Village didn't have the ability to take this Divine Sword.

This time, Gu Xiaozhao personally witnessed Ye Chen taking the Divine Sword, personally witnessed a miracle happening, and given her admiration for Ye Chen, seeing Ye Chen take the sword that in her eyes might always remain hidden was truly thrilling!

Not only Gu Xiaozhao, even Little Child was somewhat enthusiastic.

Only the three elders of Ancient Sword Village showed a slight sigh after their initial shock.

They sighed because, in the end, the Divine Sword could not be taken away by anyone from Ancient Sword Village. They sighed because the people of Ancient Sword Village were ultimately not the strongest Sword Cultivators.

Ye Chen successfully took the swords from tenth to fourth positions, and now he has also successfully taken the most difficult First Divine Sword.

According to the rules, the second and third-ranked swords couldn't be taken together with the First Divine Sword.

In this situation, Ye Chen essentially achieved the best record at Flying Waterfall Pass!

Of course, Ye Chen hadn't completed the mission of acquiring all ten Divine Swords yet, with the last two swords remaining.

But this was no longer a problem for Ye Chen, as the most difficult one had been taken, and the remaining ones, with lower difficulty, were naturally not an issue.

Ye Chen directly flew to the eleventh and twelfth caves, taking out the two Divine Swords within, completely finishing the second mission!

Then, Ye Chen returned the Divine Swords from the fourth to the twelfth caves back, but kept the First Divine Sword "Heavenly Devouring" with him, flying straight out of the mountain and waterfall, back in front of Gu Xiaozhao and the others!

Entering the second challenge of Ancient Sword Village was now concluded.

In the trilogy of village challenges, only the last one remained—Sword Stele Pass!
