Chapter 106: Shadow Image
This is not an ordinary cultivation, nor will the result of the cultivation bring any obvious benefits to Chen Ye's own strength. The only reason for persisting is that after countless years, Chen Ye can still sense the aura left behind by the two great masters who fought a great battle, and their will, which they left behind, is extremely important to Chen Ye!
The path of martial arts is to fight with others, to fight with heaven, and to fight with oneself!
In this never-ending struggle, apart from one's strength and perseverance, what is most needed is willpower!
Although willpower cannot be replicated, it can be observed, especially when two great masters engage in a fierce battle. It must be a spectacular sight to behold, with the heavens and earth darkened, and the sun and moon obscured from view. Even the slightest mistake would result in annihilation, leaving no room for burial. What is required at this critical juncture is to experience the bitter taste of loneliness and cruelty amidst life and death.
Although this taste can still be felt when one is truly facing life and death, it has become somewhat different.
From the perspective of an onlooker, to participate in another's life and death, not only can one gain insight, but also experience, and yet still manage to extricate oneself unscathed, lest one suffer unforeseen calamity - this is where the difference lies.
In the stillness of the mind, within the body, that wave of fluctuation roams everywhere, completely disregarding the soul's power and strong willpower, as if they didn't exist.
It is precisely this kind of irresistible oppression that allows Chen Ye to slightly feel the existence he wants to feel.
However, as time passed by, the fluctuation also gradually weakened. Suddenly, Chen Ye discovered that what he had experienced seemed to be not very strong due to being too distant in the past.
"Knife Spirit, what's going on?" Chen Ye asked in his consciousness.
"After a moment of contemplation, Knife Spirit replied: 'Perhaps it's been too long, or perhaps in the great battle between two great masters, one side was killed and even their soul was erased...'"
Dao Linghua hadn't spoken yet, but suddenly his expression changed and he immediately said: "Master, quickly withdraw your spiritual power."
In an instant, before he could react, a extremely oppressive force suddenly surged into his body like a tidal wave, following the flow of his spiritual energy.
At that moment, inside Chen Ye's body, it was as if an ancient battlefield had appeared, with two indescribable powers... One of which was the fluctuation he had absorbed earlier!
"Knife spirit, what's this?"
Dao Ling smiled wryly and said, "Master, this is the will left behind by two great masters. Although it has been thousands of millions of years, they must not have had a satisfying battle in their lifetime, leaving behind too many regrets..."
Dào Líng's words, Chén Yè understood, because of the many regrets, or led to a great war that had not truly ended. With the strength of two great masters who could change the terrain, the will that was transformed was more ferocious than others.
It's been a while since I've been here, and I still feel like there's more to say. That's exactly what triggered the two great masters who left behind all their will, resulting in the current situation.
Chen Ye also smiled wryly, and from then on, he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest. After guarding his spirit and embracing his origin, his mind gradually sank into his heart, sealing off his external senses, and began to fully immerse himself in sensing the intentions of the two great masters!
It only took a few seconds, not only did Chen Ye feel that his body had been restored to its original state, but the consciousness that appeared in his mind was no longer his own, but rather... a brand new world!
Right here, the Heavenly Sword in Dantian seemed to have sensed something, and with a flash of white light, it disappeared without a trace inside Dantian.
This side of the world is filled with endless sharp intentions, and in this breath of wrapping, the world is a blur. With the naked eye, it's impossible to see what's inside.
Under the gaze of Chen Ye, this world still has a few familiar signs, indeed as Jian Ling said, the mountain range here was originally connected before the two great masters fought.
The two great masters of today have not yet begun to fight, but the aura emanating from their bodies is enough to destroy many cities. Chen Ye dares to make a bet that even a place like the Imperial City would not be able to withstand this aura for one minute!
He was in the midst of it, and just like Chen Ye, he couldn't see the two great masters. He could only feel that the person to his left had an aura that was evil to the extreme, as if he were born to be the lord of evil. Under the envelopment of this evil aura, all things in heaven and earth seemed to be tainted, even the void space was under his control, and the surging spiritual energy became impossible for people to absorb.
The person on the right side of the night, is like a vast ocean, although even the virtual space is filled with evil energy, he is in it, not only unaffected, but also because the sea has no boundaries, he can create energy at will.
Whether it was the evil aura or the vast ocean, both of these feelings shocked Chen Ye greatly, they were simply too powerful. However, even so, the Sword Spirit said that their cultivation still wasn't as good as the original masters of the Tian Gang and Gu Di Temple.
This made Chen Ye very curious, what kind of existence was the original master of these two guys? Such a high-ranking expert actually fell too?
After a brief moment, the two great masters made their move. The speed was so fast that even Chen Ye's consciousness and spiritual power could no longer keep up. Now he seemed to be in the midst of two eagles fighting, like a poor little chick waiting for its fate, which might be torn apart at any moment by the remaining strength!
This is the will of two great masters. If Chen Ye cannot hold on, his will would dissipate, and even if it wouldn't put his life in danger, his cultivation for this lifetime would be very hard to have a huge breakthrough again.
This principle Chen Ye understood very well, so when the two great masters started to take action, his consciousness was withdrawn and only left the power of his soul outside to feel the will of the two great masters!
These two have strong wills, both because they have too many regrets, so they are even stronger, and for Chen Ye, it is also more dangerous.
So, Chen Ye was eager to understand the intentions of the two great masters, but he wasn't a reckless person. If there was even a slight mistake, he would not be able to reach greater heights in this life, which would be a regrettable loss that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
So, after his consciousness returned, he shouted for the knife spirit in his consciousness, wanting to borrow the power of the heavenly knife to resist this rare opportunity together.
Ke Chen didn't expect that the Knife Spirit, which had always been his master, would ignore him at this time, just as if there had never been a Heavenly Knife in his body.
What's going on?
Chen Ye calmed down, and once again summoned the Knife Spirit. However, it still didn't appear, not even the true body of the Heaven's Knife that lived in his dantian. Chen Ye surprisingly hadn't discovered its existence...
"What's gotten into you?"
There was no time for Chen Ye to think too much, and in the next instant, a strong stinging pain surged through his entire body, bringing with it a sense of mortal pressure that quickly floated into his mind.
This flavor is many times stronger than when facing Yun Taixu's powerful attack at dawn and night!
No choice, can only persevere desperately!
With a strong and tenacious will, tempered by years of rigorous training, he endured the impact of waves coming from all directions, at every moment.
