108: Chapter 108 Sword Dynasty

Su Qingyan operated her wristband and took out a black ball, only about the size of a fist.

"Lingling asked me to give this to you. As for what exactly it's for... I'm not entirely sure either."

After saying that, she tossed it to Mu Cheng and began a flurry of rapid operations on the control interface.

"This thing... I can vaguely feel a very dense energy fluctuation inside it," Mu Cheng said while studying the black ball.

Peppa examined it as well. "This thing is indeed quite mysterious... regardless, just devour and refine it!"

"Mm-hmm, I'll devour and refine it right now." Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Cheng proceeded to devour and refine it.

In less than a minute, Mu Cheng easily finished devouring it...

"This... where is this place?" Mu Cheng's consciousness suddenly entered a special space.

This special space was like being in the universe, empty with nothing at all.

Boundless and devoid of any life...

But at that moment, a massive black ball suddenly appeared, surrounded by five elemental energy spheres circling it.

They would vanish for a moment and then reappear... The black ball would sometimes expand and sometimes be suppressed by those five elemental spheres.

"It's the attributes of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. But what is that black ball?" Mu Cheng was completely unable to figure it out.

Just as he was lost in thought, his consciousness returned to the real world...

"You brat... did you see the truth of the universe?" Peppa asked immediately upon seeing Mu Cheng wake up.

Mu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I suppose so! I saw what seemed to be the five elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth suppressing a black ball."

Peppa: "That's right. That is the origin of the universe. The black ball is Destruction, and the five elements are Creation. Once you have enough strength, the answer will naturally reveal itself."

"Fine then!" Mu Cheng didn't bother thinking too much about it.

Regardless, his current strength was still insufficient. However, to increase his strength now, he no longer needed resources.

Instead, he needed constant battle...

Peppa: "This beast tide... is actually a good opportunity. You might even break through to the eighth rank."

"Easier said than done. Breaking through to the eighth rank feels unlikely, but reaching the peak of the seventh rank shouldn't be much of a problem," Mu Cheng vaguely sensed.

His current limit was the peak of the seventh rank. Breaking through to the eighth rank... was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two.

"It seems you've felt it too, but anything is possible." Peppa didn't see it that way.

Although Mu Cheng's current strength was at the seventh rank, he could hold his own even against the ninth rank.

Most importantly, the mystery of the Devouring Bloodline allowed him to grow stronger in actual combat... naturally, all possibilities existed.

"Alright, are you two that idle? The beast tide is coming. If you're bored, go help me investigate the situation," Su Qingyan's voice suddenly drifted over.

She had finished her work... and after hearing Peppa and Mu Cheng whispering for so long, she couldn't help but interject.

Peppa readily agreed. "No problem. Isn't it just going to the Qianjue Cliff to investigate? Just let this brat go."

"What do you mean 'let me go'? Never mind the Qianjue Cliff, even... asking me to cross the Thousand Absolute Lands is a death sentence," Mu Cheng refused.

During this time, he had already gained a clear understanding of the situation in Guangshen City.

If Skeleton Island was a paradise for zombies, then the Thousand Absolute Lands was a paradise for monsters...

Peppa: "True, with your current strength... it really does seem like a death sentence."

"Enough, there really is an important matter. Take a trip to the Dragon Country. You might be able to achieve a perfect physical body there." Su Qingyan almost lost her temper.

"Then what are we waiting for? Going to the Dragon Country requires a Teleportation Talisman Array, right?" Peppa instantly became interested upon hearing this.

Su Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Going to the Dragon Country is quite troublesome, but you can get there through the Sword Dynasty."

"Great, great! We can also repair the devouring heavy sword while we're at it," Peppa agreed readily.

Su Qingyan didn't hesitate any longer and took out a golden scroll.

"Use this from the Trader Space, and you can head to the Sword Dynasty."

"That legendary Sword Dynasty? I thought it was fake..." Mu Cheng spoke slowly.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and go! As for Menglou Pavilion, don't worry, I'll look after it." By the time Su Qingyan's voice drifted back, she had already left the control room.

Mu Cheng followed closely behind, and after leaving the City Lord's Mansion...

Mu Cheng went straight back to the mansion to settle things.

"For the time being, I'm leaving Menglou Pavilion in your hands."

"Mm-hmm, Brother Cheng, you can go with peace of mind!" Gu Na didn't ask where he was going.

Tao Mumu also said, "Don't worry! By the time you return, Brother Cheng, I'll definitely let you see... a brand new Menglou Pavilion."

"I'll be waiting then..."

Mu Cheng didn't waste another word. After entering the Trader Space, he teleported directly to the Sword Dynasty.

"Holy... does it have to be this intense?" As soon as Mu Cheng teleported over, he found himself high up in the sky.

Peppa: "We're screwed now. The Heavenly Dao restrictions in this Sword Dynasty are at least ten times stronger than outside. I'm afraid Bloodline Power can't be used."

In its sudden panic, it couldn't think of a better solution.

"Calm down, calm down... I must stay calm and think of a way." Mu Cheng tried, and sure enough, he couldn't use his Bloodline Power.

His speed was getting faster and faster. If his physical strength weren't far beyond that of an ordinary person, Mu Cheng would have been crushed by the pressure before even hitting the ground.

Qin Family of the Sword Dynasty.

"Quickly, take the young lady and leave!" a white-haired old man shouted loudly.

At this moment, he was clearly looking quite weak...

"You think you can run? Men of the Qian Family, kill! A reward of ten thousand gold for the live capture of the Qin Family's daughter!"

The one shouting was a fat man with a pig-like face and a body weighing three hundred pounds...

The situation on the scene was clear at a glance; the Qin Family members had been surrounded, with many dead or injured.

It wasn't hard to see that a fierce battle had just taken place.

"Master... what should we do now?" a servant asked hesitantly.

"If you want to fight, then come! Today, I will make your Qian Family pay a heavy price." After saying that, the old man unleashed a powerful sword qi.

This single strike took down over a dozen people... but the display of power lasted less than three seconds before the old man was already severely injured.

If he hadn't been propping himself up with the silver sword in his hand, he probably... would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"You old geezer, take this!"

Following the voice, a blast of sword qi flew toward the old man... there was no way to dodge it.

Left with no choice, the old man could only take it head-on. He barely managed to block it, but he was already gravely wounded.

Never mind speaking, even standing up was difficult.

"You're a pretty one. You'll be keeping me company tonight!"

With that, the fat man from the Qian Family lunged toward the girl... who was being protected by everyone behind them.

"Protect the young lady!"

Someone rushed forward, but unfortunately, they weren't much of a match; in less than three seconds...

The fat man slit his throat with a single sword strike, making him lie quietly on the ground forever.

There were only about a dozen guards left on the Qin Family's side, but none of them fled now, clearly having the resolve to die.
