Divine Brilliance

Chapter 514: Royal Demon God Shuttle

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Within the stone hall, numerous threads of sword shadows suddenly appeared and dissipated, they were continuously flashing about.

At this moment, Zong Shou was drenched in sweat, his face was ashen-white.

This was already the 13,243rd sword!

The injuries that he got when he obtained the Dragon Pellet was slowly worsening.

What made matters worse was that the swords still didn’t cease, it seemed as if it was endless.

This battle was far more tiring than the battle against Jueyu. The Sword Shadows gathered up to seven different sword techniques and each one of them was at least grade-8 Earth Crushing and above!

Each Sword Intent had exceeded the Sense Level and was already in the Soul Level.

The Nine Dragon Shadow Sword was grinded and trained by him in this battle, it was such to the point that he could use it freely and instinctively now.

His physical body also suffered from the Sword Energy’s striking, although he was riddled in wounds, he knew would be able to improve in the future.

However, for this battle, Zong Shou didn’t see any chances of winning.

14 thousand years later and it was still this strong, he couldn’t imagine what it would’ve been like 14 thousand years earlier.

Ye Feishuang said that even the most talented Dragon Race members were unable to take out an 8th spiritual item from this Legacy Land, today, he clearly understood why.

The sword light continued to suppress him bit by bit. At a glance, it would be a Vast Noble sword energy, then, at the next moment, it was an Ice Sword. Then it would suddenly change into the Extreme Lightning Jail Sword...

This made it really exhausting and difficult to deal with. In addition, his mind was bogged with too many questions. If the names recorded on the 3 pages that seemed to be from the Mysterious Golden Life Book, it would have probably meant that they were seniors of the Common People’s Path, then it would most probably be that they were good at the Sword Path and were true experts at sword techniques.

With how the situation is at hand, he couldn’t afford to be distracted, he also had no space left to think about how long there was left until the Legacy Land closed.

Zong Shou could only buy a bit of time for himself to adjust his meridians and recover some Internal Energy.

He did his best to preserve as much strength as possible to face the following sword wave.

He slowly forgot about the time, forgot about where he was, and forgot about his purpose here. His thoughts were extremely pure at this moment. There was only the sword in his hand as well as the limitless sword energies he was confronting, each of these energies were slashing from different directions.

Just as Zong Shou barely managed to hold on until the 21,200th sword, the Sword Energy Wave finally ended.

At this moment, Zong Shou was covered in sweat, his legs were devoid of energy and he was about to collapse. His legs quickly went soft, he could only use his sword and stick it into the ground to prevent himself from collapsing.

However, he first let out a shallow helpless laugh before it was suddenly filled with joy and happiness.

What a great and enjoyable battle!

As compared with the fight against Jueyu, this was more memorable for him.

The 7 types of Sword Soul level sword techniques helped to raise his Nine Dragon Shadow Sword’s comprehension to a high level.

As for the Origin Sword which wasn’t completed yet and was filled with many mistakes, he didn’t dare to use it even now.

After shaking his head, he consumed numerous pills. When the energy in his body slowly recovered, only did he step onto the stone steps deep within the hall.

He really didn’t think much about it and directly kept the 3 golden pages into his sleeves.

Following after, he stepped through the gates of the stone hall.

His eyes were looking about and could see that there was no one in the area. Who knows if they had already left or within the stone halls solving these tough tests?

However, he noticed that only Zong Yuan was here, he was defending the outside of the stone hall with a calm and content expression.

Zong Shou looked at him with a smile. “Did you get it?”

Zong Yuan nodded his head as he casually took out 9 pills.

Zong Shou looked at it carefully before his eyes suddenly lit up. “How lucky!”

The so-called Intent Storing Pill was when the pill refiner uses a pill to store his Martial Path Intent within.

The person who consumes it would be able able to comprehend the high-grade Martial Path Intent stored inside and could also use the intent within to fight against others.

The 9 pills within Zong Yuan’s hands were all Intent Storing Pills at the Peak Sense Level, these pills already had a few feelings of being connected to the spirit.

3 of them were also relevant to lightning.

Such luck was really decent and even Zong Shou was envious at it.

He had obtained many things within the Legacy Land. However, apart from the Magnificent Spirit Jade Marrow, there wasn’t anything much that could directly increase his own strength.

Zong Yuan didn’t say a word and nodded his head in agreement.

Following which, Zong Shou calculated something in his head, his brows quickly rose up.

Apparently, it was already the last day.

“There’s only 8 minutes left...”

His eyes looked all over the place as he made his mind up. With such little time left, he wouldn’t insist on getting that 9th item. However, he just wanted to take one last look.

His eyes locked onto a pale gold stone hall not far away.

Before this, he had already seen what was inside, what hid within was an arm-sized flying shuttle.

It was also one of the things he was most interested in in this region.

His body moved as he didn’t hesitate to appear in front of the hall. The moment he stepped in, the doors closed behind him.

The spiritual formation and restrictions within activated. But what awoke weren’t spells nor sword techniques.

Instead, there were many giant-sized black bats, their gazes were fierce and cold, the air was filled with a bloodthirsty intent.

Zong Shou took in a deep cold breath. Who knew where these beasts teleported over from? Pretty much each and every one of them were grade-9.

After quickly glancing out, there were 800 of them circling within the wide hall.

Zong Shou’s mouth was filled with bitterness. The test who made this to obtain the grade-9 spiritual artifact was a little too sick in the head.

800 grade-9 beasts, he would really die if he wasn’t careful.

At this moment, there were only 60 breaths until the Legacy Land would close. However, Zong Shou wasn’t that worried, he only needed to tide across the initial period before he would be automatically teleported out.

In the next instant, he thought about something.

“60 breaths?”

After thinking about this, a portion of bats had dashed over toward his direction.

He had heard of these bats before, their vision-distance was really short. They solely relied on echolocation to move about, plus, their spiritual senses were also really sharp.

They had Sound Element Natural Abilities. Sometimes, they would use it to attack while sometimes they would use it to locate the geography around them and check for living beings within the area for prey.

Zong Shou’s eyes turned slightly serious. Following after, he smiled. Why not just take a gamble?

His soul shook. The two different Dharmas appeared outside of his body.

Within the entire stone hall, half had turned pitch black whilst the other half was bright and eye-catching to the point that it made it impossible for one to see.

The sounds and all spiritual senses were twisted.

The 800 bats were suddenly chaotic and panicking.

Zong Shou laughed out coldly, his body flashed as he sped through the hundreds of bats in order to get to the depths of the hall.

When he was right in front of the golden shuttle, he reached his hand out. Suddenly, he felt an external energy trigger the restrictions of this area.

In the next instant, the Black and White Dharmas messed them up. He quickly grasped the item, the golden shuttle was now in his hands.

When his soul power was nearly empty, the Black and White Hole Dharmas were about to disappear, Zong Shou quickly casted out over 10 body-protecting talismans, multiple layers of spiritual light covered his body.

When the space returned stable, Zong Shou saw that all 800 bats were furious at him. They sent out wave after wave of soundwaves to strike him down in anger.

Half of the body-protecting spells around his body were instantly broken. He hasted to replenish them one by one and didn’t care about the price at all.

The hundreds of black bats were in a tragic state. 800 grade-9 Natural Ability soundwaves had stacked together. With this amazing force, it would probably even be able to be compared to Magical Grade spells.

With this much strength suddenly erupting out, close to half of the bats were suddenly blown to bits, they turned into blood and meat as they were unable to react.

Zong Shou felt his heart in pain just by looking at what happened. Not only were there no bones were left, but even the Beast Crystals were also similarly destroyed, they were blown to pieces.

The other bats were in quite a bad state as they went all out to resist the echoes from the remaining sound waves.

In the next instant, another spiritual light shone.

Zong Shou’s body was directly teleported out of the stone hall.

When he looked forward, the black bats were all gone. He returned back to the stone steps before he entered the Dragon Hall.

The hall doors were tightly shut.

After being startled for a moment, Zong Shou’s heart still remained in pain. In just 3 breaths, the remaining bats would have been destroyed.

Once the echoes stopped, there would have been many salvageable grade-9 Beast Crystals left.

... Just 3 breaths... It was only 3 breaths left! He suffered huge losses!

His face was originally ashen-white due to the ordeal, but now it was even uglier.

Ye Feishuang, Feihan, Chuxue, and Ruoshui were all also teleported out.

When they found Zong Shou, they couldn’t help but be worried. Ye Feishuang thought that he probably got really little from this trip and tried to console him. “Your Highness, there’s no need to be so dejected. Who knows how many talents found the Legacy Land? Time was just too short. I saw that among the cultivators inside, out of 30 there were at least 1 or 2 that couldn’t even cross the illusion.”

When Zong Shou heard this, he agreed with her and nodded his head. “The time was indeed a little too short. It was such a huge loss. I only got 9 items, 2 Xuan Grade spiritual items. Your Dragon Race is really rich.”

While he said this, he kept the golden shuttle back into his sleeves, his expression seemed really depressed.

Ye Feishuang was about to retort back at him, but in the next instant, her pupils suddenly constricted. Her breathing became heavy as she noticed the item Zong Shou kept in his sleeves.

“The Royal Demon God Shuttle? You got the Royal Demon God Shuttle?”

Following shortly after, she remembered what Zong Shou said, her mind was stressed right now. “9? You said you got 9 items?”

At this point, she really wanted to kill him on the spot. Even Fangming and the two grade-9 cultivators from the Tailing Sect and Yuanshi Demon sect only got 7. However, this fellow here actually got 9 and still acted like this!

Ye Feishuang’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Zong Shou with awe and worship.
