1691 The Vine Demon Crown Prince Makes a Move, Where Is the Heavenly Sword?
Chu Kuangren led Ling Fei and Han Xingyu toward the end of the Starlight God King Ancient Path, while Feng Qingxue and others followed them.
There were nine hundred and ninety-nine challenges on the Ancient Path. Chu Kuangren could pass most of the earlier levels, and none could stop him.
In less than half a day, he had completed half of the nine-hundred and ninety-nine challenges.
At the six-hundredth challenge, he stopped and said, “This is… an Arch Gilded Intent.”
!!
Before them was a huge stone tablet, which was engraved with an Arch Gilded Intent.
Many people who came to complete the challenge had stopped to observe it as if they were trapped in a disorientating illusion, and some of them were sweating profusely.
Chu Kuangren, too, felt a change in the scene in front of him.
Immediately after, a man in a white robe appeared before him and attacked him with an Arch Gilded Intent.
He simply mobilized his thoughts and killed the man with his Arch Gilded Intent.
“This isn’t even the seven-hundredth challenge, yet the challenge already involves Arch Gilded Intent?” mumbled Chu Kuangren.
Behind him, Ling Fei and Han Xingyu were looking at the stone tablet before them as they, too, were in the challenge, facing the Arch Gilded Intent in the illusion.
Ling Fei was lucky and passed the trial.
However, Han Xingyu was merely a Gilded Immortal. In the face of the Arch Gilded Intent, her forehead was drenched in sweat like she was having difficulty passing the level.
At that moment, the Void Sword in Han Xingyu’s arms trembled.
Han Xingyu immediately opened her eyes and looked at the Void Sword in her arms with some doubt. “Did the Void Sword help me to pass the Arch Gilded Intent’s trial?”
“Well, I think yes. You’ve had it for quite some time anyway.”
Chu Kuangren nodded.
The Void Sword probably perceived the Arch Gilded Intent on the stone tablet as a provocation, so it expelled it.
“Let’s proceed to the next challenge,” said Chu Kuangren.
The Arch Gilded Intent in the Starlight God King Ancient Path was much more interesting than he thought.
After that, Chu Kuangren spent a slightly longer time in the later challenges because he comprehended the Arch Gilded Intent in each of the challenges.
At the seven-hundred and tenth challenge, he comprehended the Mountain Arch Gilded Intent.
At the seven-hundred and nineteenth challenge, he comprehended the Ocean Arch Gilded Intent.
At the seven-hundred and twenty-ninth challenge, he comprehended the Underworld Flame Arch Gilded Intent.
…
Chu Kuangren’s comprehension of Arch Gilded Intent was getting faster. As he comprehended more and more Arch Gilded Intents, his Arch Gilded Intents gradually began to take shape.
Not many could get to the nine-hundredth challenge.
Many challengers were sky-prides and Prodigies in the Arch Gilded Immortal Realm, but even Ling Fei might not be able to get through the next challenge.
On the other hand, the challenges had been easy for Han Xingyu.
She was a Gilded Immortal, but because of the Void Sword in her hands, she managed to break through challenges that even an Arch Gilded Immortal might not be able to break through.
“Ling Fei, what do you think the Heavenly Sword is doing?” Han Xingyu asked and looked at Chu Kuangren, who was sitting down with his legs crossed in front of the stone table and comprehending the Arch Gilded Intents.
“I have no idea.”
Ling Fei shook his head. “I have a hunch that the Heavenly Sword must be doing something amazing.”
He could sense that every time Chu Kuangren got through a challenge, his energy presence became more intense. However, he could no longer sense any of Chu Kuangren’s energy presence now.
Chu Kuangren was sitting before the stone tablet without any energy fluctuating from him, which was an incredible feat.
It also showed that Chu Kuangren’s cultivation realm had reached a level that an Arch Gilded Immortal like him could not sense.
Both he and Chu Kuangren were Arch Gilded Immortals, but the gap in their strength was too huge.
“Oh?” An eek sounded suddenly.
A young man was approaching slowly from not far away. He then looked at Han Xingyu curiously. “That’s strange. How did you, a Gilded Immortal, get here?”
“It’s him, the Vine Demon Crown Prince!”
Upon noticing the Vine Demon Crown Prince, Ling Fei’s expression turned sterned.
He was a top Prodigy on the Heavenly God Leaderboard, and his strength was no weaker than the late Chen Feihu.
Moreover, Ling Fei had fought with Chen Feihu before, and they were not on good terms.
“This aura… You’re from the Spiritual Sword Tribe.”
The Vine Demon Crown Prince narrowed his eyes when he saw Ling Fei, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He remembered vividly that Chen Feihu had slashed him with the sword once. Although Chen Feihu had died in the universe-connecting portal, he still did not have any good impressions of the Spiritual Sword Tribe.
“Woman, tell me. How did you get here?” the Vine Demon Crown Prince asked Han Xingyu curiously.
A Gilded Immortal could not possibly pass the seven-hundredth challenge normally, so Han Xingyu’s ability to reach the nine-hundredth challenge surprised him. He suspected there must be some tricks involved.
“It’s none of your business,” said Han Xingyu.
“Oh, so you won’t tell me? In that case, don’t blame me for being rude. I must know your secret,” the Vine Demon Crown Prince said with a giggle.
Then, he stretched his hand toward Han Xingyu and released his Arch Gilded Intent to lock onto her. Han Xingyu could not resist the attack.
“Stop!”
At that sight, Ling Fei made a move by unleashing a sword attack to protect Han Xingyu.
Unfortunately, the gap in their strength was huge. Even though he channeled his Immortal’s Core to its limit, he was still no match for the Vine Demon Crown Prince.
Boom!
After a few attacks, Ling Fei was blasted away, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
Han Xingyu’s expression darkened, and she made a move by activating her Frost Sword Physique to its limit. As soon as she slashed her sword forward, a chilly sword ray wrapped in frost swept out.
“You’re too weak,” said the Vine Demon Crown Prince.
Instead of dodging, the Vine Demon Crown Prince allowed the sword qi to land on him without hurting him.
Buzz!
At that moment, the Void Sword in Han Xingyu’s hand trembled, and a powerful sword aura erupted, forcing the Vine Demon Crown Prince a few dozen meters back.
“This sword is weird!”
The Vine Demon Crown Prince looked at the Void Sword with surprise and doubt. “You must have relied on this sword to get here. Ha! Hand it over to me!”
In his opinion, a Gilded Immortal was not qualified to own such a treasure.
“Vine Demon Crown Prince, you’re a Prodigy on the Heavenly God Leaderboard. How could you be such a bully?”
A chilly palm attack slammed forward.
The Vine Demon Crown Prince turned around to smash the palm attack. Then, he looked at the person who was approaching. “Are you Feng Qingcue from the Feng clan?!”
She was the Feng Qingxue who followed Chu Kuangren and others along the way.
“Very well.”
“Are these people related to the Feng clan?”
“The Spiritual Sword Tribe and Feng clan are good friends. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword has saved my life, so I can’t sit back and watch you hurt them,” said Feng Qingxue.
“Heavenly Sword?”
The Vine Demon Crown Prince’s pupils trembled in fear when he heard Feng Qingxue mention the Heavenly Sword.
He had heard of the name before.
Those watching around also could not help but exclaim at the mention of the Heavenly Sword.
“The Heavenly Sword is here. Where is he?”
“You mean the legendary Heavenly Sword who killed Leng Jiufeng and may even be comparable to the top ten monsters on the Heavenly God Leaderboard? Why haven’t I seen him yet?”
Everyone looked around to locate the famous Heavenly Sword.
