344: Its name: [One]

Without any accidents, the soldier figure was soon completed.

After examining it in his hand for a moment, he threw it forward.

"Go."

The paper began to slowly curl and fold, reshaping its form within the light.

A moment later, the light gradually receded.

A soldier figure, worthy of being called a Divine General, stood quietly before Qin Wangchuan.

It was over fifteen feet tall, towering like a mountain.

Its entire body displayed a restrained yet suffocating dark gold, with deep, blood-like dark red paths flowing across the surface. That was not mere color, but the physical manifestation of power and pressure.

No words were needed.

Having integrated the essence blood of the Supreme Immortal Body, its very existence was the ultimate interpretation of the word 'powerful.'

"Since it is a unique existence, continuing to use the previous name of 'soldier figure' seems inappropriate." Qin Wangchuan thought for a moment as he gazed at this unprecedented creation.

"From now on..."

"Your name shall be—"

"[One]."

The simplest character, yet it represented the beginning, the unique, and the expectations he placed upon this Divine General.

Just as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred in the center of the Cloud Platform!

A ten-thousand-foot pillar of light, seemingly condensing the essence of the Moonlight of the Nine Heavens, soared into the sky from around Li Qingluan, piercing straight through the ceiling of the Secret Realm!

Wherever the pillar of light reached, the hidden small mirrors on the edge of the Cloud Platform used to refract starlight seemed unable to withstand this too pure and vast power, shattering one after another with crisp sounds and crumbling into pieces.

The shattered mirror pieces did not fall.

Instead, they turned into countless shimmering white points of light, like fireflies being summoned, fluttering into the pillar of light and finally merging into her body.

The light gradually retracted.

Li Qingluan also slowly opened her eyes.

The very next second after opening her eyes...

As if sensing something, she pointed her fingers like a sword and made a gentle stroke toward an empty spot at the edge of the Cloud Platform.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a slender sword light as cold as moonlight quietly flashed by.

Crack!

A corner of the Cloud Platform's edge was actually cut off silently and cleanly, the cross-section as smooth as a mirror!

The huge severed corner lost its support and fell straight down.

"Boom—!!!"

A few breaths later, a dull roar like thunder faintly came from the far distance, accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground and smoke rising into the sky, creating a grand spectacle.

This sword strike contained immense inner power and was domineering and peerless.

Li Qingluan retracted her fingers, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

The Legacy of Moonlight Heart's effect on improving her state of mind and tempering her Sword Intent far exceeded her expectations.

Turning around, she happened to see Qin Wangchuan walking over from the edge of the Cloud Platform.

With a sweep of her gaze, she was immediately attracted by the towering dark gold figure behind him, which exuded a completely different aura.

"What is this?"

A trace of surprise flickered in Li Qingluan's cold eyes.

The form, texture, and even the condensed but unreleased terrifying pressure of this soldier figure were completely different from the soldier figures Qin Wangchuan had summoned in the past.

"A soldier figure," Qin Wangchuan replied concisely as he walked up to her.

"Why is it... a bit different from before?" Li Qingluan carefully observed 'One,' feeling the power hidden beneath that dark gold shell.

"Because it's special."

"You'll know in the future."

Qin Wangchuan didn't explain much. Instead, he looked at her, his gaze lingering for a moment on the faint moonlight flowing around her body, and suddenly said, "Actually, your temperament has become very different."

"How is it different?" Li Qingluan looked up, her cold eyes reflecting his figure.

"Cold, beautiful, and a bit more... ethereal." Qin Wangchuan thought for a moment and found a metaphor, "Like the moon that could fly into the sky at any time."

Her temperament at this moment was indeed very different from before.

Those originally cold eyes, after merging with the high-hanging intent of Moonlight Heart, added a sense of aloofness and holiness from being high in the Nine Heavens, as if reflecting the eternal moon.

Even someone like Qin Wangchuan, who was used to seeing her, had to use the word 'cold' to describe this change.

To an outsider, she already looked no different from a goddess.

"Fly away at any time?"

Li Qingluan's eyebrows quirked slightly, somewhat surprised by this description, and then she seemed to realize something.

She took a step forward, naturally took Qin Wangchuan's hand, carefully felt the temperature and real touch of his palm, then looked up at him, "And now?"

"Now it's a bit too close."

Qin Wangchuan joked with a smile and didn't continue the topic, instead asking, "How do you feel? I mean the Legacy."

Hearing this, Li Qingluan let go and raised her own hand again, gently clenching it into a fist.

It was as if moonlight was flowing under her skin, her Divine Soul was clear and transparent, and her control over her own sword path and power had reached an unprecedented level of precision.

"Better than ever." The corners of her lips curled slightly, and a very faint but real look of confidence spread across her cold face.

Qin Wangchuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the ancient Cloud Platform which no longer had any other special fluctuations, "The Opportunity here has been taken by us, and this Secret Realm... there's nothing left to linger for."

"Let's go."

The two of them didn't stay any longer and left the Cloud Platform.

However, as soon as they stepped down, three figures suddenly emerged from the star mist ahead, blocking their path.

The newcomers were slightly taller than average people, with deep dark purple skin.

Most notably, they all had four arms.

They were from an Alien Race.

Judging by their aura, they were definitely not ordinary characters.

Qin Wangchuan's eyebrows quirked slightly, but he hadn't spoken yet.

One of the aliens had already stepped forward, his gaze lingering for a moment on the moonlight glow around Li Qingluan that had not yet completely faded.

"Just now, there was a huge commotion here with starlight pouring back; some great treasure or Opportunity must have appeared." He crossed his four arms with a disdainful posture, "If you two are sensible, hand over the Opportunity you've obtained."

"Big brother, that little lady next to him... hehe."

Another alien stared fixedly at Li Qingluan, his four eyes scanning her up and down, letting out a greedy, strange laugh from his throat.

Another more impatient alien stepped forward directly.

"Why waste words with him? Just a mere Human Race...!"

While the word 'race' was still echoing in the star mist, a sword light so fast it almost surpassed perception flashed without warning.

The alien's head flew high, with violence and confusion still lingering in his eyes.

Qin Wangchuan retracted his sword and reached out in a smooth motion, catching the falling head steadily by its hair bun.

"Just a mere Alien Race."

He lowered his eyes, looking at the head in his hand whose eyes were still rolling in terror, and spoke with interest:

"I've long heard that your kind has tenacious vitality."

"Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

While he was admiring this scene, suddenly—

A hand as white as jade reached out and gently swatted away his wrist that was holding the head.

"Don't you find it dirty?" Li Qingluan frowned and took out a silk scarf to wipe his hand, her cold face showing undisguised disgust.

Turning around...

The alien who had just stared at Li Qingluan and called her 'little lady' had now vanished from below the waist.

Only his upper body lay stiffly on the ground, his four arms severed at the roots, having been turned into a dark purple human stump.

His eyes were also wide open, frozen in shock and incomprehension.

In an instant, only the one who spoke first was left standing among the three aliens.

The key was that he hadn't seen what happened at all!

One companion was instantly killed and beheaded, and the other was actually carved into a human stump!

"You... Heavens!" He was terrified and instinctively tried to fully activate his own Heaven and Earth Law.

However, before the word 'Earth' could come out...

A palm had already been placed on his shoulder.

Qin Wangchuan was already within reach at some point, his face even carrying a trace of a faint smile, yet his eyes were as cold as ice.

"If I were you," his voice wasn't loud, but it clearly entered the other's ears which were stiff with fear, "I wouldn't do that."

As he spoke, he pointed to the human stump on the ground and the head rolling nearby, which was still twitching slightly.

"Now, take them to heal." Qin Wangchuan paused, his tone turning cold, "Otherwise... they'll really die."
