True Martial World - Chapter 479: Understanding Swords

As the young Elder was looking at the huge eye in the black vortex, the other Elders from the other factions had also sensed the change in atmosphere.

As they looked at the God Burial Abyss one by one, all of them seemed to turn into floating spirits, as they lost their ability to react.

The indescribable scene was shocking. The huge eye that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide spanned the entire God Burial Abyss. It had appeared out of the blue and it did not cause anything strange, but it was this weird feeling that made them feel strange.

On the seabed, the place that the Elders from the various factions were standing in seemed to turn into a graveyard.

They stood there like haphazardly arranged tombstones.

They felt their bodies’ Yuan Qi stagnate as they were locked on to by that eye that was as black as the endless starry night. Their souls were also frozen. They could not even move a single muscles!

What sort of eye was it? It was cold, vast and it seemed to be an eye of the Heavens that belittled every living thing in the world.

As the people looked at it, they felt their tinyness come out of the bottom of their hearts. They were one of the strongest figures in the Tian Yuan world and they were able to do formidable tasks, but now, against this mysterious and terrifying existence, they felt like they were no different to ants.

The eye remained for about thirty seconds before it slowly disappeared.

The faces of all the Elders present were as pale as a sheet. They felt as if they had died once after being stared at by the gigantic eye for thirty seconds.

The terrifying eye seemed to see through their souls.

What was that thing?"

They had hardly recovered from the shock. When they faced the gigantic eye, they really felt that they were helpless against it. It seemed like if the eye wished, it could have killed all of them.

"It should have been an illusion, or it might be a projection of an eye. It can't be a real eye. If there was such a big eye, how big would its body be? It could probably be as big as the Tian Yuan world!"

The Tian Yuan world was immensely vast. It was unbelievable for a living thing to be the size of the Tian Yuan world.

If it was just a projection of an eye, they could still fathom it.

But even if it was a projection, the terrifying existence hidden in the God Burial Abyss still made many of the Elders from the various factions shudder with fear.

After all these years, nothing was heard from anyone who entered the God Burial Abyss. They had all disappeared. It could even be the case that they were killed by that eye!

For such a terrifying existence which was hiding not far from them, it made them extremely afraid. If that sort of existence came out, would they all die here?

Besides, the black vortex's tearing force was growing stronger. This made the Elders worry even more that if the God Burial Abyss had an unexpected event, they would no doubt be greatly endangered. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

...

At that moment, on a cliff in the second level of the God Advent Tower, Yi Yun was sitting cross-legged. In front of him, there was a crystalline relic floating in midair. This relic was the one Yi Yun had obtained in the first trial after killing the ancient desolate beast.

There was a total of two ancient relics. Yi Yun had kept both of them and now, as he was cultivating in the God Advent Tower, it was perfect for him to use the ancient relics.

Yi Yun's spiritual energy interfaced with the Purple Crystal as he absorbed the pure Yuan Qi inside the relic constantly.

Now, Yi Yun's body was a pure Yang body. After undergoing repeated marrow cleansings, and with the transformation of the pure Yang Qi, Yi Yun really felt that he was slowly being reborn. His body was already extremely compatible with energy.

The energies in these ancient relics spread throughout Yi Yun's body without any resistance. It gathered in his dantian and accumulated together.

The dantian laid the foundation of the Yuan Foundation realm, while the Dao Seed was planted on the Yuan Foundation. Yi Yun's Yuan Foundation realm had improved again.

Feeling the Yuan Qi in his body being abundant, to the point of flooding, it was like it would gush out at any moment. Yi Yun slammed his hand and the disk array immediately floated up. The battle scenes of the black lanced warrior and the azure-clothed swordsman appeared once again.

Over the months, if he only cultivated, Yi Yun would find it difficult to defeat the azure-clothed youth. He needed to gain more insight from that sword attack,

Sou! The azure beam flashed as it appeared again. The broken sword that was placed across Yi Yun's lap also immediately emitted a dull buzz. The sword trembled as it used Yi Yun's Yuan Qi to surge.

With the ancient relic's energy support, Yi Yun did not blink once. Previously, he could last for an hour, but now, Yi Yun did not even know how long he had been watching it.

The scenes from the disk array with the azure-clothed swordsman using the sword attack filled his eyes. In his mind, the terrifying sword scar at the Pure Yang Sword Palace once again appeared as it slowly merged with the azure-clothed swordsman's sword attack.

Yi Yun involuntarily grabbed the broken sword and began brandishing it. However, this time, he could not brandish it properly. It was extremely difficult, as if something was preventing him from brandishing it.

This was because his insight into the sword intent was not deep enough, and his understanding of the sword Dao was not complete.

These things formed a membrane causing the brandishing of the sword to be at best, have a inkling of that sword attack. However, it still failed to come close to the essence.

"Hahahaha!" The azure-clothed swordsman laughed recklessly as the voice was emitted from the images.

Seeing the azure-clothed swordsman laugh, Yi Yun recalled the words left behind on the Seven Kills Stone Pillar at the Pure Yang Sword Palace by its owner. Those seven "Kill" words were startling!

“Establishing the Seven Kills Stone Pillar, announcing my will! Waiting for the future, when the heavens collapse, the non-existence of the universe, me as the world, control over life and death, destroying the cycle of reincarnation, obtaining the souls of everything, casting my sword, spilling my immortal blood, to slaughter all evil demons! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Yi Yun remembered the words engraved on the stone pillar at the Pure Yang Sword Palace clearly.

Every word and their strokes contained a concept to it. Yi Yun's memory of them was still fresh.

Yi Yun replayed the scenes in his mind repeatedly. It was as if he had gained some enlightenment from it.

One of the Dao of the sword, following one's heart, following one's character!

It was different from the Dao of the saber. It was lacking in killing and the momentum of advancing courageously, and it had more of one's original character and heart.

The sword attack from the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner and the azure-clothed swordsman came from their hearts.

The azure-clothed swordsman was unconventional and unrestrained, while the killing intent engraved on the Seven Kills Stone Pillar by the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner contained infinite hate to the point of destroying all of existence.

All of these were the original intents in the hearts of the azure-clothed swordsman and the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner!

Their killing intent and their insight of the martial path and even their characters were embedded in the sword attack. It could be said that the sword attack contained their lives as well as their understanding of martial arts.

Yi Yun placed the broken sword on his lap and he began to recall his own life in his mind.

Having just transported into the Cloud Wilderness, he began cultivating after discovering the Purple Crystal. He met Lin Xintong at night. He had outstanding performance at the Divine Kingdom's selection, and he saw Jiang Xiaorou being taken away as well as him being imprisoned...

There were all sorts of experiences having come to this world as they appeared in Yi Yun's eyes. There was joy and sadness, as well as the insights he had gained from learning martial arts.

This process carried on for an unknown length of time when Yi Yun's eyes suddenly flashed as he leaped up and slashed with the broken sword in his hand!

This sword attack was accompanied by him crying out loud. It was as if it was released along with all his thoughts in his mind, as he ruthlessly slashed forward!

At that instance, there was brilliance!

Cha!

A terrifying sword beam appeared above the lands as if a god's sword had split the land apart!

The rocks and mud crumbled for this strike's aura was indomitable. The sword beam was blinding and it extended into the horizons, leaving behind an astonishing huge sword scar!

This sword mark was like a deep ravine, permanently scarring the land.

At that instant, Yi Yun felt that the membrane that had accompanied the strike had been torn apart!

Yi Yun looked at the huge sword scar in front of his eyes as they twinkled with excitement.

"I've succeeded!"

He had finally been able to reproduce some of the profound charm behind this sword attack. Just this strike alone was enough for him to stand his ground in the Tian Yuan world!

Yi Yun took a deep breath as he looked at the entrance to the God Advent Tower.

Leaping up, the rock beneath Yi Yun’s feet collapsed as he leaped ten thousand feet onto the entrance of the second level of the God Advent Tower. Again, he proceeded forward on the staircase leading to the third level of the God Advent Tower.

As he strode forward, his heart was burning with fighting spirit.

After covering a third of the staircase, the azure-clothed youth appeared once again to block his path.

He stood upright with a sword in hand on a high spot on the staircase, looking down on Yi Yun.

"You came again?" The azure-clothed youth said lightly.

The corners of Yi Yun's lips suffused a smile as he calmly said, "Make your move!"

True Martial World - Chapter 478: God Burial Abyss’ Shocking Change

Shentu Nantian had already been in this confined space for a day and night, but he still remained in meditation.

Cultivation was not something that could be rushed. To become a peerless Great Emperor, not only did one need extraordinary talent and fated luck, one also needed to have the mindset to harden oneself.

Before reading an ancient supreme martial art work, one need a bath and incense. This was not some useless ritual but to condition one's mind to its optimal state.

Shentu Nantian was doing exactly that right now.

As Shentu Nantian entered an ethereal state, he opened his eyes and slammed down with one hand as the black disk array floated in the air and began to slowly rotate.

Injecting his energy inside, the images within the disk array immediately appeared.

The huge roc appeared and following that the black-armored warrior stabbed with his lance while riding the nightmare beast!

Seeing this lance appear, Shentu Nantian's pupils constricted. He felt like there was an invisible hand pinching his heart, causing it to stop beating. He felt his blood stagnate!

"Endure, I must endure!"

Shentu Nantian said to himself in his heart.

His head was covered in sweat as he grit his teeth and clenched his fists. His fingernails stabbed into his palms, causing them to bleed.

Just watching the disk array itself might have been the Great Empress mystic realm's test of a cultivator's courage.

Shentu Nantian was aspiring to become a peerless Great Emperor. This aspiration needed the support of great courage.

The things that appeared out of a small disk array were just illusions and phantom images. So what?

"Ah!"

Shentu Nantian roared while facing the sky. His Yuan Qi was circulated to an extreme as the blood vessels on his neck bulged. His eyes were also injured by the lance beam, and blood flooded out from the corner of his eyes!

However, when the lance pierced through the void and into the large roc's body, Shentu Nantian could no longer withstand the immense pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Peng!"

Shentu Nantian's body was flung backward as he slammed heavily onto a wall.

He wiped the blood of the corner of his mouth as his face was pale as a sheet of paper.

In what was just about 30 seconds, it was as if he had experienced an intense battle. Not only had he been greatly drained, he had also suffered serious injuries.

However, he had not been able to see anything in the disk array's images clearly.

Without being able to see anything clearly, it would be even more difficult to talk about gaining insight into it.

Shentu Nantian took a deep breath and retrieved a healing relic from his interspatial ring as he began to regulate his breathing.

If there was a will, there was a way. The path of martial arts was to open up a new path out of the void when one reached a dead end.

This process would be met with endless dangers, difficulties and restrictions. Only by hacking through thorns and thistles and charging ahead without fear would one succeed.

This required great perseverance, great fated luck as well as unparalleled talent. If not, with the billions of warriors in this world, why had there only been a handful of peerless Great Emperors since ancient times?

Shentu Nantian reminded himself of this as his mind began to calm down.

"I will climb to the peak of martial arts. What is this tiny bit of difficulty?"

After Shentu Nantian slightly recovered, he picked up the black disk array once again...

...

As the passage of time flowed, day after day, people from the various large factions were waiting outside the Great Empress mystic realm in the raging sea tide.

Those Elders who had entered the Great Empress mystic realm to search for treasures came back out tens of days ago.

They had thought that the Great Empress mystic realm's trials would last from slightly more than ten days to a month, but two months had already passed. Yet, there was still no sign of this bunch of most outstanding elites.

This made the elders of several family clans worry.

"The Great Empress mystic realm's second round is to test one's cultivation speed. Who knows how long they will be cultivating..."

Matriarch Lin was unable to feel relaxed as she stared at the entrance to the Great Empress mystic realm.

Previously, when Lin Yu and company were eliminated, they mentioned the real content of the second trial when they came out. It was a test of cultivation.

When warriors cultivate, a year was considered short, and three to five years was also not considered to be long.

During this period, they had to wait here. If not, when the juniors came out, without mighty personnel receiving them, then they might be torn to pieces by the God Burial Abyss's swirling.

The gigantic vortex was something even the Elders from the various large family clans did not find it easy to withstand.

Ten days or so was fine, but to last for two months with the continuous tearing force of the swirling, that would be a major test of their endurance and temper.

Some people even decided to set up an array on the seabed so as to supplement them in enduring the pressure.

There were some younger Elders who treated the wait in the God Burial Abyss as a form of cultivation. They used the vortex's pressure as a way to temper their Yuan Qi.

However, slowly, even they could not endure this any further. This was because the God Burial Abyss's vortex was becoming more terrifying. The vortex's tearing force was increasing in strength!

In each large family clan, several Grand Elders joined forces to take turns to power the array so as to withstand the tremendous pressure.

Now, two and half months had passed. The end to the Great Empress mystic realm's trials seemed far and distant. This worried many of the family clan's Elders.

According to the trend, in another two or three months time, the God Burial Abyss's tearing force would reach a level so strong that the Grand Elders from the various factions would not be able to withstand it.

It the juniors who were in the trials still did not come out by then, then they would have no choice but to leave the God Burial Abyss.

And when that happened, the juniors from the various factions would be sucked into the God Burial Abyss upon being sent out of the Great Empress mystic realm, resulting in them being smashed to pieces!

Those that were still within the Great Empress mystic realm were the top elites from every large faction. Once they were lost, it would be a heavy blow to all the factions present.

Now, some of the factions were beginning to regret this endeavor. If they knew about this earlier, they would not have brought their juniors to participate in this Great Empress mystic realm expedition.

Time passed as another few days went by. Every day, there were Elders from various factions looking anxiously at the Great Empress mystic realm entrance. They were waiting for the juniors from their factions to appear.

Now, they no longer wished for their juniors to have any outstanding performances. They only wished that they would be eliminated early.

In the Li Fire Sect camp, an outer sect Elder, who looked much younger, was standing by the Great Empress mystic realm's entrance. He was waiting to receive Gongsun Hong. He was Gongsun Hong's uncle. For his family to finally produce such a good seedling, it was not acceptable to have Gongsun Hong die in such a muddleheaded fashion.

As he was on tenterhooks, he inadvertently happened to glance at the huge black vortex in the God Burial Abyss. However, this glance made him feel like he was struck by a bolt of lightning. He was completely stunned!

What… What was going on?

Separated by layers, that young Elder saw an unforgettable scene!

The dark and distant God Burial Abyss was half buried in the bottom of the sea. A huge hemisphere was exposed. It was a black hole which was also the location of the black whirlpool.

However, at that moment, on that distant and black hemisphere with a diameters of tens of thousands of kilometers… a huge eye covered in a black vortex had silently appeared!

Or it could be said that the black vortex that was tens of thousands of kilometers wide had turned into an eye!

It was like the eye of a beast. The eye was amber in color with a spindle-shaped vertical pupil. At the moment he saw the eye, that young Elder's heart stopped beating. It was as if his soul had frozen.

He completely lost the ability to think. An eye had filled the entire black vortex?

What… is that thing?

True Martial World - Chapter 477: The Third Level’s Test

The intense sword beam was a thousand times more dazzling than sunlight. Yi Yun's eyes teared as his eyes turned red. Even the blood vessels around his eyes began to bulge like worms.

The sword scar Yi Yun saw in the Pure Yang Sword Palace slowly started to overlap with the azure-clothed swordsman's attack. That strong impact left Yi Yun panting.

Slowly, he began to mimic the sword attack in the images, using the Pure Yang Sword Palace's broken sword.

Before the alliance tournament in the Tai Ah Divine City, Yi Yun had managed to see the memory of the broken sword by chance.

In that memory, he saw the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner battling a bronze giant.

That earth-shattering strike he had seen split apart a world itself, and also beheaded the bronze giant.

However, that scene lacked the sword intent that resided within the attack. Now however, in that disk array, the sword intent of the azure-clothed swordsman still remained. This sword intent began to overlap with the scene from Yi Yun's memory.

The broken sword emitted a sound like a dragon's roar, while Yi Yun's hands trembled. He could hardly control it!

"What a terrifying sword intent!"

This sword intent caused the broken sword to sound out, and it also put Yi Yun's body under intense pressure.

The other cultivators did not dare choose such a disk array. The main reason was because they could not withstand this pressure.

If Yi Yun did not have the broken sword in hand, and if he had not been previously exposed to the shocking sword scar at the Pure Yang Sword Palace, then he would never have dared to recklessly use his eyes to look at the azure-clothed swordsman's sword attack. It would have caused him serious injuries.

After watching the disk array's scenes for nearly an hour, Yi Yun felt that he could no longer take it. The sword intent within the disk array’s images seemed to stab at Yi Yun's eyes, causing them to burn. If he carried on looking, his eyes would no longer be able to bear it.

Yi Yun kept the disk array. He could not be foolhardy while practicing martial arts. Like a good bow, if it was strung too tightly all the time, the bowstring would eventually snap.

Yi Yun looked up. The entrance into the second level of the God Advent Tower could be seen clearly in the sky.

Locking on to the entrance, Yi Yun suddenly leaped up.

"Peng!"

The rock beneath Yi Yun's feet collapsed as he soared straight up into the sky like a hawk!

Yi Yun leaped directly up ten thousand feet. Reaching out his hand, he held onto the second level's entrance and entered it.

As such, Yi Yun returned to the long staircase that led from the first level to the second.

Yi Yun looked up once again. The staircase carried on upwards, all the way to the third level of the God Advent Tower.

The third level of the God Advent Tower was a place only Lin Xintong was qualified to enter.

At that moment, Yi Yun was still unable to enter it. He needed to obtain the recognition of the God Advent Tower.

Then how was the recognition earned?

After gently rubbing his nose tip, Yi Yun strode forward towards the third level of the God Advent Tower.

There were about a few thousands steps from the second level to the third. When Yi Yun covered about a third of the distance, he felt a resistance.

Every step he took would expend a large amount of Yuan Qi.

Very suddenly, Yi Yun felt something locking onto him. Raising his head, he saw an azure-clothed youth standing with his arms crossed not far away. He was blocking the way.

This azure-clothed youth's looks and body shape looked very similar to Yi Yun’s. It was like a mirror image of Yi Yun.

"Oh?" Yi Yun stopped in his steps.

The azure-clothed youth looked at Yi Yun and, in a deadpan manner, said, "You can enter the third level by defeating me."

"Defeat you?" Yi Yun smiled, "It looks like I will gain the recognition of the God Advent Tower if I defeat you?

"Saber, sword, spear, halberd. Choose any weapon!" The azure-clothed youth did not answer Yi Yun's question and only coldly stated the rules.

"Sword."

With that thought, a sword appeared out of thin air into his hand. This was a weapon formed from energy. It seemed like he was only allowed to use the energy weapon from the God Advent Tower so as to reflect the outcome of his cultivation in this test.

This had little effect on Yi Yun. Even if Yi Yun used the broken sword, he would find it difficult to utilize its true power. He could only do that if he gained insight into the profound sword intent in the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner's sword attack.

When Yi Yun received the weapon, the azure-clothed youth also received one. He too had a sword in his hand.

Yi Yun was trained in both sword and saber, but he had never dual wielded them before.

Yi Yun was more skilled in the saber. He could use all sorts of different moves with a saber. For the sword however, he only knew a few moves. These moves were all killer moves and extremely powerful. Once they were used, he would expend Yuan Qi extremely fast.

Yi Yun was guessing that this test would not be that easy to pass, so he immediately chose the sword.

With the sword in hand, Yi Yun's eyes flashed, "Kill!"

Without any restraints, Yi Yun slashed out with his sword. He tried his best to inject the sword intent from the sword tomb from his own understanding, as well as that faint profoundness from the Pure Yang Sword Palace into his sword attack!

This concept seemed to be like that of a god that had graced the lands, showing disdain on all life!

Yi Yun had practiced martial arts for a few years and he had not slacked off for even a day. He had spending most of his time cultivating or practicing the Desolate Heaven technique ever since he came to the Tian Yuan world. When he competed with others, it was a competition in the Desolate Heaven technique. Thus, he had not fought a real battle with weapons for a long time. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Now, Yi Yun wanted to test his own strength.

"Ding!"

The swords clashed. Yi Yun's deathblow had been blocked by the azure-clothed youth!

The swords sounded out as the azure-clothed youth retreated a step. As his foot hit the ground, it was as if he took root, preventing Yi Yun from making any further progress!

"Two attacks. I will only use two attacks. If you can block them, then you can enter the third level."

As the azure-clothed youth spoke, his aura exploding from his body. He seemed to suddenly become infinitely tall. He was like a mountain.

"The first attack!"

The azure-clothed youth brandished his sword and slashed forward. His sword seemed to turn into a gigantic sword Qi phantom image that shot out into the sky.

This sword seemed like a rainbow that pierced through the sky, and was surrounded by numerous sword Qi as it slashed at Yi Yun.

Yi Yun's pupils constricted as he lifted his sword to meet it!

He knew that this attack was no trifling matter. He had to use all his strength against it.

Yi Yun's Yuan Qi was circulated to an extreme as a sonorous cry was heard immediately after. A three-legged Golden Crow shot out into the sky!

The Golden Crow spread its wings as plumes of flames rose. The staircase from the God Advent Tower's second floor to third floor immediately became a fiery world of flames.

Yi Yun had conjured his Aspect Totem!

"Boom!"

The two swords clashed and like the collapse of mountains and rivers, Yi Yun's pure Yang sword Qi collided with the azure-clothed youth's sword attack.

The azure-clothed youth blurry, azure-colored sword beam far exceeded Yi Yun's imagination. His pure Yang sword Qi continuously shattered as the azure-clothed youth's sword Qi remained intact as it came at Yi Yun without any resistance!

Yi Yun could no longer dodge, so he lifted his sword to block it.

"Peng!"

Yi Yun's protective Yuan Qi exploded as his body was sent flying backward. He felt as if he had been hit by a large mountain. Feeling tightness in his chest, he spat a mouthful of blood.

Yi Yun flew backward a thousand feet before landing about a thousand steps below. Leaning against the sword, he managed to stabilize his body.

So powerful!

A tinge of horror flashed in Yi Yun's eyes as he looked over at the azure-clothed youth in the distance.

After he was injured by that attack, his blood was chaotic and his organs seemed misplaced.

The azure-clothed youth stood upright with his sword in hand. Although he was a figure formed from energy, he seemed to have intelligence. As he looked at Yi Yun, his eyes seemed to be one of surprise. It seemed like he was surprised with Yi Yun's strength.

He pondered before lightly saying, "It can be considered as you blocking this attack!"

According to the Great Empress mystic realm's rules, as long as he did not collapse, he would considered to have passed. He would then obtain the recognition of the God Advent Tower.

"Next will be the second strike! If you can still stand, then you can enter the third level!"

The azure-clothed youth raised his sword and was intending to attack again. However, Yi Yun shook his head. After some moments of silence, he turned to walk to the second level entrance of the God Advent Tower.

He had been seriously injured by the sword Qi from the previous strike, resulting in spitting a mouthful of blood, so how could he block the next strike?

The second attack was most likely even more powerful. Yi Yun did not have confidence in being able to withstand it. And even if he did, it would be meaningless. Would he really be considered to have passed if he barely made it through suffering serious injuries and being durable?

This was not what Yi Yun wanted. He wanted to pass perfectly!

"I will challenge you again in ten days!"

After saying that, Yi Yun leaped and jumped down from the second level entrance of the God Advent Tower!

...

While Yi Yun was fighting the azure-clothed youth, there was another person also challenging his limits in another confined space on the first level of the God Advent Tower.

He was Shentu Nantian.

Yi Yun was challenging his own combat limits, while Shentu Nantian was challenging the limits to his cultivation.

True Martial World - Chapter 476: God Advent Tower’s Second Level

The many cultivators present acknowledged Lin Xintong’s superiority, but compared to Yi Yun, they felt that they were just slightly weaker than him. And compared to Shentu Nantian, everyone else had the evaluation of "Knight", so no one believed the other was better.

No one could believe that Shentu Nantian and Yi Yun had chosen the disk arrays that they did not even dare touch. The two of them were completely mad.

"They will suffer. Let's not talk about gaining insight from those two disk arrays, just enduring the pressure from the peerless Great Emperors is impossible. They will definitely suffer for trying to bite off more they can chew."

People discussed it over voice transmissions. Many of them had similar thoughts. They were all waiting to see Shentu Nantian and Yi Yun fail.

And at that moment, a blinding flash of light emitted from the altar. Soon, there was a rumbling sound as the entire altar sank downwards.

The cultivators only felt a flash of light and felt a distortion in the space-time fabric. When they opened their eyes again, they realized they were alone in an independent space.

Looking around, there was no one else as they were alone.

They had all been isolated from one another.

It was not surprising on further thought. Those cultivators who had entered the first level were allowed to take two disk arrays, which meant they could try to gain insight from both both of them. If many of them were together, they could exchange the disk arrays amongst themselves. If this happened the so-called choice would lose its meaning.

At that moment, Yi Yun had also been sent to an independent space. However, what faced him was different from the others.

Above the independent space he was in, there was a door to the outside. Yi Yun looked up and he saw a rainbow-like staircase outside the door, leading to a higher spot.

At the end of the staircase, there was a door about the size of a palm. The door shot out white beams of light. It was clearly the entrance to the second level of the God Advent Tower.

The second floor of the God Advent Tower...

Yi Yun narrowed his eyes. The opportunity on the first level of the God Advent Tower was to let cultivators choose two disk arrays to gain insight on. What was in the second level of the God Advent Tower?

Since he had already obtained the evaluation of "Grandmaster", he could enter the second level. It was not something that Yi Yun would miss out on.

He had to see what resources each level had before making overall arrangements.

Yi Yun kept the two disk arrays. Alone, he went up the stairs. When he reached the end of the staircase, the scene he saw outside the door to the second level shocked him.

The door to the second level was not very big, but beyond the door, there was a vast world full of desolate lands.

The wide expanse of desolate lands was covered in green grass and black rocks. It stretched out to the horizon.

On the desolate lands, there were fluttering white clouds. As the distance was too great, the clouds seemed to hang low. He could faintly see some unknown desolate beasts flying through the clouds.

"This is the God Advent Tower's second level?"

Yi Yun was shocked. This looked like another world.

Yi Yun thought it was an illusion, but when he switched to his energy vision, he realized that everything around him was real.

Especially those desolate beasts flying in the sky, from the energy fluctuations emitted by their bodies, they were not puppets powered by energy crystals. They were bodies with real flesh and blood.

Living desolate beasts?

Yi Yun found it unbelievable. There was not a single desolate beast that could survive for so long to the point of surviving from the moment the Great Empress mystic realm was created.

Unless… this world was so wide enough for desolate beasts to thrive in it and produce offspring.

Upon realizing this, Yi Yun was inexplicably alarmed. The ancient Great Empress had inserted such a vast world into the God Advent Tower?

Or could it be that the God Advent Tower's second level door was just a spatial dimensional entrance to another world?

Then where was this world? Was it still the Tian Yuan world?

No matter what means the ancient Great Empress had used, Yi Yun still found it incredible. She really had the ability to reverse heaven and earth.

Yi Yun leaped down from the second level's entrance. His body moved downwards like a falling star as wind whistled past his ears.

Far into the distance, Yi Yun could see the desolate beasts hiding in the mountains. He suddenly realized that the second level of the God Advent Tower might be a place to train.

Disk arrays were obtained in the first level, and the second level was for him to gain understandings and to cultivate.

And the endless numbers of desolate beasts in the desolate plains were the targets for actual combat.

"What a rich Heaven Earth Yuan Qi!"

When Yi Yun landed, he took a deep breath. He felt every pore on his body open up. It was extremely comfortable.

He surveyed his surroundings. He was currently on a cliff. This cliff was about a thousand feet high. Yi Yun looked down the cliff and he saw clouds gathering below. Halfway up the cliff, there was a rocky cave.

Yi Yun leaped down and in the air, he continuously leveraged his body. Like a soaring eagle, he landed in the rocky cave.

Yi Yun sat cross-legged and he took out the two disk arrays he obtained from the first level and placed them above his two knees.

By injecting energy in them, the scenes in the disk arrays began to slowly appear...

The vast Untraversable Sea and the battle between the azure-clothed swordsman and the black-armored warrior...

Yi Yun stared widely as he looked at the two people above the water surface. The two peerless Great Emperors were equally mysterious and equally powerful.

Yi Yun did not know why they were fighting nor did he know what history was behind it. However, he could tell that the black-armored warrior and the azure-clothed swordsman were not sparring, they were having a life and death battle!

The azure-clothed swordsman seemed to be unconventional and unrestrained, but when he saw the black-armored warrior, the killing intent that he emitted greatly stifled Yi Yun.

A sword attack was enough to cut through the world!

Yi Yun was shocked. Although he had extraordinary understanding of the sword Dao, it was still difficult for him to bear such an impressive sword aura!

Even Lin Xintong would hardly be able to bear it, let alone Yi Yun.

He could not look at the sword beam directly, which made it even impossible for him to figure out the profoundness of the sword attack.

It was a sword attack that far exceeded the realm Yi Yun was in.

Yi Yun's heartbeat accelerated as his mouth gasped. When the sword beam slashed, he felt as if his chest was being ripped open.

With a thought, Yi Yun took the Pure Yang Sword Palace broken sword out of his interspatial ring.

It was ancient and simple, but it was covered in rust. It was as if it had been buried in the ground for a long time. He even felt like it would fall apart from decay while holding it in his hand.

While holding the broken sword, a trace of coolness spread into Yi Yun's body from the broken sword.

Yi Yun activated the disk array once again.

This time, Yi Yun was inexplicably more calm.

The azure-clothed swordsman's earth-shattering attack separated the Untraversable Sea once again. Yi Yun widened his eyes as he constricted his pupils while trying his best to see the profoundness behind the attack.

The sword beam stung his eyes like a needle poke, but even so, Yi Yun continued staring and tried his best to watch it.

He wanted to see the sword profoundness in that sword attack clearly!

True Martial World - Chapter 475: A Gambler’s Psyche

It was not only Yi Yun, even Shentu Nantian and the others were filled with curiosity over the disk arrays in the Great Empress mystic realm. In which era did the events recorded in the disk array happen?

Was this really the Tian Yuan world?

Why were there so many experts in the ancient times?

The black-armored warrior was already perverse enough, and the azure-clothed swordsman's strength seemed to be vaguely greater than the black-armored warrior’s.

This was completely unbelievable. There was no reason for the history books not to record such terrifying existences in them.

At that moment, the images from the disk array had disappeared. Shentu Nantian and the others all felt the terror from the sword attack even though it was just an image.

After the sword beam disappeared, everyone exhaled. Shentu Nantian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

He was also a sword user. The images in the disk array were something he looked forward to. If he could use such an attack, the position of the head of the Shentu family clan was nothing. The entire Tian Yuan world would easily fall into his hands.

Be it the Lin family, or Yi Yun, he could destroy them all. He could make Lin Xintong his female slave as well.

Of course, this was just him thinking. Shentu Nantian knew his ability. He was far from being able to gain insight into the disk array's sword attack.

As he was giving it some thought, he saw Yi Yun pick up the disk array that he had previously placed down. With Yi Yun keeping it, Shentu Nantian was stunned.

The others also looked at Yi Yun with surprise.

What was Yi Yun doing? Did he want to take the disk array?

"Yi Yun, you… "

Even Lin Xintong was alarmed with Yi Yun's choice. She had also seen the images in the disk array. She felt that with her own perceptivity, it would be very difficult for her to learn anything from the images.

Yi Yun may have been outstanding, but he was limited in his martial arts realm. Could he have had some special insight with that disk array?

Lin Xintong knew that Yi Yun would usually not do something that he was not confident in. And if that was the case, Lin Xintong found it a bit hard to imagine.

"This kid is up to something again."

Shentu Nantian frowned. He was already at the brink of a nervous breakdown because of Yi Yun. He would have an ominous feeling from Yi Yun's every move.

"What else can he be up to? This kid must have gone out of his mind!"

Beside Shentu Nantian, a few of Shentu Nantian's followers jeered. In their opinion, Yi Yun might have obtained the title of "Grandmaster", which seemed impressive, but he was not the only one with that title. Furthermore, there was also Lin Xintong who had obtained "Soul".

Even Lin Xintong did not seem to have the courage to choose such a difficult disk array.

Yi Yun was being too presumptuous.

However, Shentu Nantian frowned even more after hearing their words. If Yi Yun was so dumb, could he have come so far?

Clearly, he wasn't.

In the confrontations Shentu Nantian had with Yi Yun, other than Shentu Nantian being triumphant over Yi Yun in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, he had received setbacks from Yi Yun again and again in the Tian Yuan world. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The Desolate Heaven technique tea session, the relic trial and now, the Great Empress mystic realm.

Previously, he had looked down on Yi Yun and this caused him to suffer.

Yi Yun had an endless number of strange means, which made Shentu Nantian struggle to handle him. Now, Shentu Nantian was like a frightened bird that would be startled by the mere twang of a bow-string.

Yi Yun was clearly much weaker than him, but Yi Yun's every move made Shentu Nantian's eyelids twitch and they gave him worries.

Could it be that the kid had discovered something in the disk array?

From Shentu Nantian's point of view, Yi Yun was not only deceitful, the Great Empress mystic realm was filled with traps, so anyone with blind confidence would end up suffering.

Who knew if the Great Empress mystic realm had left something hidden in the disk arrays?

It was possible that the ancient Great Empress was testing their courage. It could be a test of them being daring enough to face the great pressure and aura of ancient Great Emperors.

With these thoughts in mind, Shentu Nantian felt his mind turn into a mess.

The azure-clothed swordsman's disk array was taken by Yi Yun, so he could no longer choose it. His eyes turned once again to the disk array with the black-armored warrior who rode the nightmare beast.

This disk array...

Initially, Shentu Nantian had an urge to choose this disk array, but he lacked the courage. Now, seeing Yi Yun choose the azure-clothed swordsman's disk array, Shentu Nantian was tempted once again.

If the disk array selection was really a test of courage, he had to bet on it. He might even get lucky with his bet...

If he did not succeed in his bet, it was something that he could afford. After all... he could choose another disk array.

With this idea planted in his mind, it began to grow rapidly like weeds.

People tend to have hopes to get high returns with small stakes. Warriors were no exception.

At that moment, Shentu Nantian was like a gambler. He looked at the black-armored warrior’s disk array in indecision.

"Why? You were rated as a 'Knight' by the Great Empress mystic realm, yet you don't dare to chose that disk array?"

Yi Yun's voice suddenly rang in Shentu Nantian's ear. Shentu Nantian's face sank. These words were previously said by him to Yi Yun just a moment ago. Now, Yi Yun had just changed a single word and used it on him.

"Provoking me?"

Shentu Nantian chuckled. The more he was being provoked, the more he felt that there was something amiss.

Yi Yun must have seen something. His goading might have been a way to hide it.

However, Shentu Nantian still made his decision carefully. He had already chosen one disk array out of the two. He was still hesitant over the second one.

As time passed, Yi Yun had also chosen the second disk array.

This disk array was not as shocking. It was just a disk array that demonstrated the pure Yang laws. The laws in the disk array would be very stimulating for Yi Yun.

Most people had already made their selection. Shentu Nantian, who had not made a move yet, attracted a lot of attention. As the hour was almost coming to an end, the Great Empress mystic realm's cold voice echoed once again, "The altar will be closed in thirty seconds."

There was only thirty seconds left. Shentu Nantian gritted his teeth and looked at the few disk arrays he had eyed previously. With less than 10 seconds left, Shentu Nantian kept the black-armored disk array with determination!

He might have regretted choosing this disk array, but if he did not choose it, he would immediately regret it.

In this day and age, those who survived were the bold, while those who starved were the meek. He has not made many large bets in his life. If he did not make this bet, he might miss out on a large opportunity!

"Young Master, you… "

Shentu Nantian's lackeys were all alarmed. Shentu Nantian had actually chosen the disk array that was so difficult...

Yi Yun glanced at Shentu Nantian with surprise. What was this guy thinking? Did he choose that disk array because I chose an extremely difficult disk array?

The others were stunned seeing Shentu Nantian's choice.

"What is Shentu Nantian doing?"

"Shentu Nantian and Yi Yun have both chosen a disk array of a battle between top ranked Great Emperors. Are they both mad!?"

True Martial World - Chapter 474: A Sword Attack Previously Seen Before

In the opulent grand hall, the dark-skinned youth was like a ghost, watching everybody.

Around him, light rays were slightly distorting, causing his body to be completely hidden.

The dark-skinned youth's original evaluation was "failed to meet the mark", but no one knew how he obtained the recognition of the Great Empress mystic realm in such a short period of time.

The swarthy youth's gaze swept past the two "Grandmaster"-titled gray-robed youths. Then he looked at Lin Xintong, and finally, his eyes landed on Yi Yun for a long period of time.

When he stared at others, there was no reaction from them, but when he focused on Yi Yun with a foolish smile appearing on his lips, Yi Yun suddenly looked in his direction.

"What's wrong?" When Lin Xintong saw Yi Yun turn his head, she asked curiously.

Inside the grand hall, other than the coiling dragon pillars and the altar, there was nothing else. Could Yi Yun have noticed something?

Yi Yun glanced at a corner not far away. It was completely empty, with nothing there.

Yi Yun frowned slightly. He was very sensitive to energy, and there was clearly an invisible energy source in what was otherwise an empty spot.

There's a person?

Yi Yun had such a thought, but soon, he turned his head back. He did not carry on looking. He did not know who the person was. Since he was standing there without Shentu Nantian's detection, it meant that person's strength was no doubt far above Yi Yun's.

For a figure like this who intended to hide, no one knew what motives he had. Regardless, Yi Yun would not carry on looking at him, or he would be discovered by the other party.

"He noticed?"

The swarthy youth was somewhat surprised by Yi Yun. He did not know if Yi Yun's cursory glance was just coincidence. He did not think that with a cultivation of a junior like Yi Yun would be able to discover his presence.

At that moment, Shentu Nantian and company had begun selecting disk arrays.

Many disk arrays were being triggered, giving rise to a wide variety of scenes.

Not every disk array documented an expert’s battle with desolate beasts. Some of the disk arrays contained the mysteries of the laws, or training sessions of ancient Great Emperors and battle scenes.

These ancient Great Emperors were extremely powerful, but they were much weaker than the black-armored warrior from before.

This was most obvious from the fact that when the various cultivators watched the disk arrays, the pressure they felt was not as strong as the first one.

The pressure was smaller and the laws were not as profound. They could barely gain any insight into something.

This made many overjoyed.

And at that moment, the Great Empress mystic realm's emotionless voice echoed, "Everyone of you are given an hour to choose two disk arrays. After they are chosen, the altar will be sealed off by arrays."

"Oh? Only two can be chosen?"

The cultivators were slightly stunned. Many of them felt a sense of pity being unable to return with all the treasures after entering a treasure land.

And only two could be chosen. How should they choose?

There were many disk arrays, so there was no need to be afraid of the ones they wanted to be snatched away. However, one hour was a very short amount of time.

This choice was extremely important. Not only did it have to matter with the opportunities they obtained, it also affected the results of this trial. If they did not choose well, their expedition in the Great Empress mystic realm would came to an end.

People like Gongsun Hong and Shentu Nantian were extremely cautious and hesitant.

After Shentu Nantian saw the black-armored warrior's disk array images once, he watched it again. In the vast Untraversable Sea, the terrifying pressure that came from the appearance of the huge roc and the black-armored warrior was something Shentu Nantian had trouble enduring. Even if he could barely endure a few seconds of it, he could not understand a thing from the mystery of the black-armored warrior's attack. The difference was too great.

This disk array...

Shentu Nantian was not willing to let the black-armored warrior's disk array go, because the disk array was extremely valuable. However, it was too difficult. If he recklessly chose it, not only would he not understand a thing, he would waste a choice.

After repeatedly weighing the benefits, Shentu Nantian finally gave up on the disk array.

Many people had similar thoughts to Shentu Nantian. The disk arrays on the altar were all of an extremely high realm. If they spent too much time and effort on something, they might end up with nothing.

And if they chose a weaker disk array, and manage to gain some insight from it, it would also be very useful for them.

The successive trials, the perverse difficulty and bizarreness of the Great Empress mystic realm had already made many of these people take a step back.

They were no longer greedy, and they only wished to obtain something.

Only that was real.

At that moment, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were also selecting their disk arrays.

Yi Yun watched the scene of the black-armored warrior fighting with the huge roc repeatedly. That striking lance attack was indeed full of murderous Qi.

Ultimately, Yi Yun also chose to give up on that disk array.

Seeing Yi Yun being aware of the overwhelming odds against him, Shentu Nantian chuckled, "Why? You were rated as a 'Grandmaster' by the Great Empress mystic realm, yet you don't dare to chose that disk array?"

Shentu Nantian teased.

Yi Yun coldly glanced at Shentu Nantian. At that moment, Lin Xintong whispered to Yi Yun, "Shentu Nantian is provoking you! Ignore him."

"It's nothing," Yi Yun shook his head, "This disk array is good, but it is not suitable for me."

The black-armored warrior used a lance in the disk array, while Yi Yun's choice of weapons were sabers and swords. Naturally, he would not choose it.

Yi Yun triggered the disk arrays on the altar one by one. The various images made Yi Yun shake his head.

Only when he triggered a certain disk array did he see the vast Untraversable Sea once again.

Above the Untraversable Sea, the black-armored warrior who was riding the black nightmare war horse, appeared once again.

He held a long lance in his hands and the war horse was galloping through the sky with flames paving its route. He seemed to be breaking through the void, as if he would enter another world.

Seeing the black-armored warrior, Yi Yun quivered as he held his breath.

And at that moment, another figure appeared above the sea. He slowly appeared while riding the waves.

This person was dressed in azure clothes. He held a gourd in one hand, and a five-foot long azure sword in his other.

“Hahahaha!”

Seeing the black-armored warrior, the person in azure roared with laughter. His laughter caused the water waves to turn chaotic as he did so in an unrestrained manner.

The black-armored warrior stopped, he got off his war horse and looked at the azure-clothed person.

Following that, without a word, 'Sou'!

The azure-clothed person attacked him. His long sword whistled and an azure flash that flashed across the sky flew towards the black-armored warrior!

"That sword move!"

Seeing this sword slash out, Yi Yun unwittingly took a step back. A flash appeared in his head.

This sword technique was… something he had seen before!

The sword beam cut through the world.

All the cultivators present could feel the hair on their bodies stand up. A strong sense of danger to their lives was felt.

At the moment the sword slashed out, they felt like their bodies were restricted. Their breathing and heartbeats stagnated. It felt like the sword attack was like an electric shock!

Yi Yun's response was different from the others. He was inexplicably shocked. Everything in front of his eyes had disappeared, leaving only an azure flash of lightning that had become the only thing in the world.

The sword beam seemed to have broken through the confines of space and time, coming from the nothingness of the ancient era.

Pure Yang Sword Palace!

What had appeared in Yi Yun's mind was the sword attack that had separated a world itself outside the Pure Yang Sword Palace. It looked similar to this attack!

Only… the sword attack at the Pure Yang Sword Palace was even more terrifying. It was even more immense, as if it was the supreme law of the Universe...

When Yi Yun realized this, he felt a tiny tremble from the interspatial ring on his finger.

A mysterious but ancient sharp feeling spread a coldness from Yi Yun's finger into his bloodstream.

Yi Yun knew that this was Sword Intent!

And this Sword Intent was coming from the broken sword in his interspatial ring!

When Yi Yun entered the Pure Yang Sword Palace, he had obtained the rusty broken sword, and he suspected that it was left behind by the owner of the Pure Yang Sword Palace.

Yi Yun believed that other than him, no one had previously opened the Pure Yang Sword Palace. Then… why did the azure-clothed person's sword attack contain a trace of the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner's attack's charm?

It couldn’t be that the azure-clothed person was the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner's disciple, right!?

Yi Yun shook his head. It was impossible. The Pure Yang Sword Palace’s owner was not from the Tian Yuan world. He came from another world, and the realm of his existence was too high, so how could he have taken in a disciple from the Tian Yuan world?

How did this azure-clothed swordsman know the sword attack of the Pure Yang Sword Palace's owner then!?

Who was this azure-clothed swordsman? Historically, in an era around the time of the ancient Great Empress, Yi Yun could not remember any records of this azure-dressed swordsman.

True Martial World - Chapter 473: Roc

"Is it a desolate beast? A desolate beast of the Untraversable Sea!?"

The cultivators looked at each other and they were extremely alarmed. To many people, the Untraversable Sea was extremely mysterious. Even Great Emperors could not travel deep into it, so no one knew what was in the depths of the Untraversable Sea.

Now, what was the rank of the huge roc that had appeared? Was it a primordial true spirit?

The cultivators could not tell. As far as they knew, primordial true spirits were the highest rank of desolate beasts. They did not know if there were any ranks above that.

After the roc appeared, a divine beam flashed in the sky. This divine beam split space itself.

A black-armored warrior armed with an ancient bronze lance rushed out of the tear in space.

The intense murderous Qi formed a large path in the sky. The black-armored warrior was riding a black war horse. The war horse's eyes were blood red. Lightning and fire flowed around its hooves. It looked like a legendary nightmare beast.

The war horse neighed as it stepped on the murderous Qi path. It galloped midair while the black-armored warrior held his lance, charging straight at the roc.

It was a battle!

When people saw this scene, they were stunned. A black-armored warrior, a lance and a horse were fighting a primordial behemoth of unknown ranking?

The black-armored rider was tall and stout. The lance was a heavy lance, but against a behemoth roc that was 50 kilometers wide, it was as inconspicuous as a needle to a human.

How could one harm the roc with such a weapon?

Just as this idea flashed in the cultivator's minds, the black armored warrior made his move. As he rode the war horse, his charging speed also increase. Like a meteor, he charged onto the roc's back.

He suddenly stabbed his war lance. Just one attack caused the void to tear. The powerful strength caused the Untraversable Sea to form huge waves. The sea water sank in, becoming a canyon of the ocean. This strike had split the Untraversable Sea!

This also revealed the rest of the behemoth roc’s body that was lurking in the sea.

"Cha!"

The black-armored warrior's strike had pierced the roc's body. At that moment, the world went silent as a huge, bloody hole appeared on the roc's back. A stream of blood spewed out like an erupting volcano, shooting straight into the clouds!

When everyone present saw this scene, they felt their hair stand up. A strong sense of life and death seemed to assault them.

That strike had clearly pierced the roc, but everyone felt that it pierced them.

They could not dodge. Even their bodies were locked in place by the aura. They could not move one bit! Their blood flow and heart beats were affected by the strike.

Everything in front of them disappeared, leaving only the attack trajectory of the long lance that had pierced through the world. It was like a black lightning bolt that had filled the entire sky. It made them feel like they were in a lightning prison that made it impossible for them to breathe.

The surface of the sea was already dyed scarlet from the roc's blood. It looked shocking.

"Terrifying!"

Panther Lady grunted and retreated a few steps. With this retreat, she immediately felt like she had come out from the immersive feeling.

Her face was pale and her body trembling slightly and uncontrollably.

No one knew what the black-armored warrior's cultivation level was. Maybe he was not a Great Emperor. Instead, it could be said that he was far from Great Emperors like the Shentu Patriarch could compare with. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

To be able to witness a battle of such a level was great help to their understanding of martial arts. This was indeed a great opportunity.

However, the laws in the move were too profound. The juniors from the various factions could not decipher any profound mystery from it. Now, they could not even bear the images of the disk array.

Behind Panther Lady, several people also retreated with their heads covered in sweat.

They included Shentu Nantian and some of his lackeys. It was easier for Shentu Nantian to endure this pressure, but he too did not understand much from it.

The level of the battle far exceeded his realm.

"What a terrifying person. What a terrifying desolate beast. What are their identities or existences?"

The black-armored warrior was clearly not the ancient Great Empress. Why was his image left behind in the Great Empress mystic realm?

According to the records, there were few peerless Great Emperors who appeared in the history of the Tian Yuan world. And in any generation, there would only be at most, one. Most of the time, not a single peerless Great Emperor existed.

Then… What was the cultivation level of the black-armored warrior? Was he not even worthy of the title of a peerless Great Emperor?

"What a terrifying person. What a terrifying strike. We aren't even a match for that horse of his, let alone him."

In Shentu Nantian's eyes, a look of shock still remained.

Not only juniors like them, even if Elders from their family clans saw such an attack, they would find it amazing!

If one could gain even a tiny bit of insight from that attack, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds!

However… that seemed too difficult.

Shentu Nantian was shocked from seeing the images from before. As for anything else, he did not manage to see through a thing.

"Oh? Lin Xintong… "

Shentu Nantian looked at Lin Xintong, still dressed in that white dress that was whiter than snow. It seemed like up to now, she was still immersed in the disk array's projection. Her hand was still clenched tightly on her sword as her body was tense.

About 6 seconds later, Lin Xintong had no choice but to close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, there was a glimmer of intelligence in them. It was a pensive look.

It seemed like she had gained some insight.

"This woman… " Shentu Nantian frowned slightly. Compared to another monster like her, he was constantly pressured. He was unsure if Lin Xintong had really gained any insight. This unknown gave him immense pressure.

"There are other disk arrays!"

There were many disk arrays on the altar. At that moment, Shentu Nantian did not stand on ceremony. He wanted to be first at choosing a disk array most suitable for himself.

Seeing Shentu Nantian rushing to the altar, others piled on. They wanted to search for a disk array suitable for them. At least, the weapon had to be the same.

"Yi Yun, aren't you going to choose one?" Lin Xintong asked.

Yi Yun rubbed his chin as he said while deep in thought, "Miss Lin, aren't you curious as to who the black-armored warrior is? He might have lived in an era around the Great Empress. Then, why aren’t there any records of him in the history books?"

"Is he a friend of the ancient Great Empress? Disciple? Master? Or maybe… enemy?"

Yi Yun felt that the Great Empress mystic realm not only left behind the ancient Great Empress' heritage, it also contained the secrets of the ancient Great Empress.

That was probably… the secret history of the ancient era.

An immensely huge roc that lived in the Untraversable Sea and a black-armored warrior with an ancient lance in hand while riding a nightmare beast. What sort of roles did these existences place in the ancient era?

Yi Yun was had such thoughts, but at that moment, in an unnoticed corner amongst the group, a strange glimmer flashed in the eyes of the swarthy youth as he looked at the image disk arrays...
