Chapter 898 Sword God's Sharp Edge

This time, Ye Fan spent ten days, a whole ten days, improving and perfecting his swordsmanship again and again, making it the most perfect swordsmanship.

Because the expert he has to confront next is none other than the most powerful figure on the Martial Arts Continent, the Sword Ancestor. Facing the Sword Ancestor is truly too difficult.

Because in every realm and with every sword, the Sword Ancestor is absolutely perfect.

Some say the Sword Ancestor has surpassed the Ninth Grade Ancestor Realm.

But others say he stands at the peak of the Ninth Grade, and no one truly knows the actual power of the Sword Ancestor. But without a doubt, the Sword Ancestor is absolutely the strongest existence.

This time, Ye Fan has to face him alone, and the pressure is immense.

But he is prepared.

For this, ten days later, he stands before the Sword Ancestor.

At this moment, the Sword Ancestor speaks to him, “Are you ready?”

“Master, I’m always ready because during battle, there is no time to prepare and I have no time to prepare!”

Ye Fan replied.

The Sword Ancestor nodded and said, “Very well, then let’s begin!”

He immediately launched an attack on Ye Fan, displaying the profound meaning of the Sword Dao to the fullest.

“Great! I’ll go first!”

The Sword Emperor spoke.

But Ye Fan said, “All four masters together!”

They wondered if this would be too arrogant, unsure if it was too arrogant, but they knew Ye Fan had definitely provoked them.

At this moment, the Sword Ancestor spoke, “Very well, suppress your realms to match his, then let’s give it our all!”

“Understood!”

The four attacked together.

Each wielding their own swordsmanship, and at that moment, Ye Fan moved calmly, swung his sword, and immediately countered the swordsmanship of the four.

The four felt embarrassed, yet amidst the embarrassment was shock because they realized that this moment, Ye Fan had truly achieved perfection.

And reached a realm they hadn’t comprehended.

Indeed, what purpose is there to master so many sword techniques, because the ultimate goal is to defeat the opponent.

The reason for defeating an opponent is simple, that is, no matter what sword or technique the opponent uses, it can be countered, which is the most perfect aspect of the Sword Dao.

Without doubt, Ye Fan succeeded, and Ye Fan’s understanding of swords, in their view, undoubtedly rivals that of the Sword Tao Ancestor.

Their goal was achieved, now as long as Ye Fan’s rank surges upwards, a new generation of Sword God would be born.

“No, Grade Six Ancestor Realm!”

The perceptive Sword Ancestor immediately discovered Ye Fan’s difference. Astoundingly, Ye Fan crossed from Ancestor Realm Fifth Grade to Grade Six Ancestor Realm in less than ten years.

It’s so heaven-defying, certainly, they were even more shocked that Ye Fan’s breakthrough this time was silent, without any disturbance.

Could there be a secret in this?

The other three also realized this, and upon seeing Ye Fan’s realm, it was impossible not to be astonished — Grade Six Ancestor Realm, when did he break through, how could they not know.

They knew the phenomena caused by Ye Fan when he breaks through long ago ceased to be news; yet, they were in the Sword God Temple, unaware.

Ye Fan at this moment explained, “I used the profound meaning of the Sword Pool to block the Heavenly Tribulation, masking my breakthrough sign! That’s opportunism!”

“Is that possible?”

The four almost spat blood — this was unbelievably peculiar.

At this moment, Ye Fan awkwardly smiled, indeed somewhat special, it was impossible for others, but for him, the heaven-defying entity, it absolutely worked.

Because indeed, he was a heaven-defying existence, the only way to evade the Heavenly Tribulation; otherwise, the tribulation would truly target him to death.

At this moment, none of the four knew how to describe Ye Fan.

Anyways, Ye Fan was a monstrous talent.

No, more like the monster among monsters.

He used his Slaughter Heaven Eight Swords to battle the Sword Ancestor, yet every move placed him at a disadvantage; he knew if the Sword Ancestor were his enemy, he could kill him at any time.

Even when he unleashed all nine swords, he still did not gain the upper hand.

At this moment, Ye Fan felt a bit frustrated because in front of the Sword Ancestor; he couldn’t gain any real advantage, beginning to doubt if he was truly fit for this.

Yet the Sword Ancestor encouraged him, saying, “You are already very good, every move is excellent, but still not perfect. What you need now is perfection!”

“Alright!”

Ye Fan replied.

Receiving the Sword Ancestor’s encouragement lifted his spirits, while the three sword kings wore a schadenfreude smile because they had finally managed to make Ye Fan feel defeated.

None of this was easy.

The Sword Ancestor told the three, “Stop sneering, pass on our profound meanings to him!”

“Okay!”

The three nodded.

The Sword Immortal’s profound meaning is opportunistic, achieving the effect of using minimal effort for maximum results, while the Sword Saint’s swordsmanship was direct and solid with latent energy ready to act.

The Sword Emperor’s profound meaning exudes authority, able to weaken the opponent’s will before battle, whereas the Sword Ancestor’s profound meaning is sheer intensity, endless sharpness.

The Sword Ancestor’s profound meaning virtually covered all, but in terms of individual profound meanings, none matched the expertise of the three, hence their profound meanings differed.

Ye Fan converted these profound meanings, integrating them into the seventh sword.

He went into seclusion for three whole months, and only three months later did he synthesize all four profound meanings, continuously improving his swordsmanship.

Three months after, Ye Fan emerged from seclusion.

After emerging from seclusion, he faced the four directly; today he felt immense pressure and was rather ahead of the curve, because he had to confront the combined might of four people.

Even if they suppressed their strength to match his level.

There was no doubt that they were all outstanding swordsmen, and no one could escape their encirclement.

“Take action!”

With a single shout from the Sword Ancestor, the four struck simultaneously, making it truly defenseless.

At this moment, Ye Fan directly wielded the Mystical Sword, breaking through the profound meanings of the four, even when faced with their combined efforts.

Ye Fan could still remain undefeated, fighting to the end, using the Slaughter Heaven Eight Swords to defeat them one by one.

“Good, very good!

Although the four failed, this is what they hoped for, if Ye Fan could not defeat them, they definitely would not be happy.

Because what they need now is to forge the strongest disciple.

Clearly, Ye Fan meets the criteria.

Ye Fan asked, “Masters, can I leave the mountain now?”

“No way!”

The four replied.

“Why?”

Ye Fan was puzzled; still unable to leave the mountain now, what does it mean, do they have something else planned?

Only to see the Sword Ancestor saying, “You still need to go to one place!”

“What place?”

Ye Fan asked.

“Sword Pool!”

“What kind of place is that?”

Ye Fan asked.

Only to see the Sword Emperor saying, “That is the most sacred place of our Sword God Temple; the master once integrated his insights into the Sword Dao into the Sword Pool!”

“Each of us derived our own swordsmanship and Sword Dao from the Sword Pool, although you passed our test, you must pass the Sword Pool to be complete!”

“Alright!”

Ye Fan was filled with anticipation.

Then, the four escorted him to the Sword Pool.

Upon arriving at the Sword Pool, the first thing Ye Fan sensed was the infinite Sword Dao profound meaning; he felt his own Sword Dao profound meaning paled in comparison before the Sword Pool.

The pressure was immense, but Ye Fan’s heart was filled with yearning, because this was exactly what he needed.

He sat by the Sword Pool for three years, without knowing how those three years had passed, he constantly evolved his own Sword Dao regardless of time.

The effect of the Sword Pool on him was indeed too significant.

Over three years, he reshaped his Sword Dao over and over again, even altering the most basic swordsmanship.

Several times he nearly collapsed.

However, Ye Fan did not lose heart; striving to become a peerless Sword Dao Peak Master is by no means easy, simultaneously admiring the Sword Tao Ancestor.

The Sword Tao Ancestor deserved to be the premier person in Sword Dao; his understanding and establishment of the Sword Dao reached a point that was shocking or rather despair-inducing.

Even on the foundation of the Sword Pool, Ye Fan dared not claim that at the same level he could defeat the Sword Tao Ancestor.

Being able to draw even with the Sword Tao Ancestor would be commendable.

Undoubtedly, this was a luxury of luxuries, a defeat within defeat.

After another five years, Ye Fan, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes, then the entire world changed color.

When he reappeared at the Sword God Temple, the four Sword Dao Experts were astonished.

“A cosmic phenomenon, the strongest Sword God is born!”

The Sword Ancestor exclaimed.

The Sword Emperor also spoke, “Isn’t this the day we’ve been waiting for?”

“Indeed, he did not disappoint us!”

“Hahaha!”

The four Sword Dao experts each expressed their sighs.

Ye Fan appeared.

At this moment, the Sword Ancestor asked, “What have you gained?”

“Master, my gains are immense; at this moment, I feel as if I can no longer wield a sword!”

Ye Fan said.

The four nearly submitted at his words; has this disciple closed himself off for so many years and become an idiot? If that were the case, their hopes would be dashed.

“No, no longer wield a sword?”

The Sword Immortal almost lost his temper.

Ye Fan said, “Indeed, I’ve forgotten all swordsmanship, yet I can counter any swordsmanship!”

This is what Ye Fan meant to express.

“Really?”

The four severely doubted his words; could there be an issue?

Ye Fan said, “If you don’t believe me, the four masters can try!”
