175: Chapter 175 The Inheritance Hidden by the Immortal King of Destiny: A Shocking Sword Intent!
?
Hearing this pleasant voice, Xu Jinhuan was momentarily stunned. How could the artifact spirit of the immortal king shroud be a young girl?!
However, he did not feel pity for her because of this.
Instead, he increased the output of Eternal Power, nearly shattering the immortal king shroud completely as he continued to apply pressure.
"Open your core!"
Hearing these words, the artifact spirit of the immortal king shroud did not dare to doubt him and revoked all defenses, leaving the core exposed before Xu Jinhuan's eyes.
"Big brother, please be gentle, I'm afraid of pain..."
The girl's delicate voice rang out, sounding as if she were being forced into something unspeakable.
"Talk nonsense again and I'll tear this scrap of cloth apart!"
Xu Jinhuan spoke irritably, while simultaneously invading the core of the immortal king shroud with his Divine Soul.
The Eternal Divine Soul suppressed all enemies, wrapping around the core with an almost eerie force and engraving Xu Jinhuan's exclusive inscription in an instant.
Soon, the immortal king shroud became his property completely, responding to his every whim with ease.
"Big brother, I..."
The little girl artifact spirit jumped out from the Void Realm, looking at Xu Jinhuan with teary eyes, appearing as if she were about to cry, which was quite heart-wrenching.
It was as if she had just experienced an unspeakable humiliation.
Xu Jinhuan ignored her, instead continuing deeper into the Immortal Kings Dao Field.
God knows when the Immortal King of Destiny would realize something was wrong.
Time was tight and the task was heavy; looting treasures was the priority!
His figure flickered as he quickly arrived at the next location rich in Immortal Qi. Over a dozen large trees stood in the Void Realm, their roots spreading for thousands of feet. On the trees hung fruits that looked like smiling babies, emitting giggling laughter whenever the wind blew.
"It's the Dutian Immortal Fruit! And there's a whole acre of them!"
Seeing this, the artifact spirit of the immortal king shroud cried out in surprise and immediately introduced the treasure to Xu Jinhuan.
"Big brother, you can't miss this. It's an essential material for an Immortal King Divine Pill, indispensable in the refining process!"
"If it appeared in the Endless Immortal Domain, a single Dutian Immortal Tree would trigger countless experts to fight for it, even drawing out Immortal King level experts. I didn't expect that old thief Destiny to be so cunning, growing so many at home that they've become a forest."
Hearing this, Xu Jinhuan acted even faster and more decisively, clearing out the dozen or so immortal trees and stowing them away safely, briefly using Eternal Power to sustain them.
Immediately after, he did not delay for a moment and rushed to the next location.
The Immortal King of Destiny's Dao Field had far too many good things!
Yellow-skinned Tea Trees were covered in extremely fresh yellow buds. Once harvested, they would be the perfect tea leaves; brewing and drinking them could clear the mind and sharpen the senses, making one's thinking as fast as lightning and briefly boosting Comprehension Ability and physical reaction time—a rare treasure indeed.
A tattered fishing net was actually a fragment of an Immortal King weapon. The artifact spirit inside had long since perished, but the Materials themselves were quite extraordinary, perhaps useful for repairing the immortal king shroud.
...
Xu Jinhuan sped along like a bolt of lightning, harvesting countless treasures, until he finally reached the end of the Dao Field, standing before a high mountain.
"Hmm?"
This was a glowing immortal mountain. Countless Immortal King runes flowed down from the summit to the foot of the mountain. The Great Dao charm was abundant, ancient and powerful, truly extraordinary.
On the Peak was a high platform with a stone table and two stone stools. Not far from the stools stood a withered skeleton holding a rotting wooden saber.
The skeleton was dilapidated and the wooden saber was shedding debris, looking as if it might fall apart at any moment.
But the flow of Dao charm here was astonishing, clearly signaling to Xu Jinhuan that this was the location of the Immortal King of Destiny's ultimate Treasure Trove, well worth exploring.
"Wealth is found in danger. Since I'm already here and haven't alerted Destiny yet, I'll go up and take a look!"
Xu Jinhuan gritted his teeth, protected by Eternal Power and cloaked in the Power of Destiny as a disguise, and walked up.
He arrived before the skeleton.
Sure enough, the scene before Xu Jinhuan's eyes changed abruptly. Countless runes shifted thousands of times in an instant. Then, the skeleton before him vanished, replaced by a figure in green robes with a heaven-shaking Saber Qi that seemed ready to shatter the Universe.
The figure in green held a brand-new wooden saber and began to demonstrate various saber techniques. The saber light was blinding; it was a projection of the true meaning of the Saber Dao.
Although Xu Jinhuan was new to the Endless Immortal Domain, his Eternal Chaos Body was too terrifying. He didn't think much of ordinary Cultivation Technique Dao charms, and the same applied even to the Destiny and Reincarnation Great Daos, which were only a step away from the Peak Immortal King level.
But at this moment, he was still captivated.
The Saber Intent of the green-robed man before him was profound and unfathomable, incredibly brilliant. In his prime, he must have absolutely surpassed the so-called Peak Immortal Kings!
At the very least, Xu Jinhuan had not felt this sensation from either the Destiny or Reincarnation Immortal Kings.
Delighted by the discovery, he naturally couldn't let it pass.
Xu Jinhuan immediately resonated with his divine senses, throwing himself wholeheartedly into it, comprehending the divine saber and absorbing the essence of the Legacy within.
Swish, swish, swish!
During his enlightenment, he began to move his limbs. Though his hands held no weapon, they erupted with startling saber light.
He had understood it!
After his Eternal Chaos Body improved again, his Aptitude had reached [Above Dao Rite+], and his Comprehension Ability was even more Heaven-Defying than Heaven-Defying. He could comprehend an Immortal King Great Dao in an instant, making him absolutely the most monstrously talented individual in the Endless Immortal Domain, without exception.
As he practiced further, the skeleton that had been standing there for an unknown amount of time actually moved. It raised the decaying wooden saber and pointed it at Xu Jinhuan, as if signaling for him to come forward and fight.
"Am I... being recognized?"
Xu Jinhuan was momentarily stunned, guessing as much, and then took a step forward.
When he reached a short distance away, the skeleton suddenly struck.
The extremely decayed wooden saber, which looked like it would fall apart at any moment, swung down fiercely.
“Hiss!”
Xu Jinhuan retreated in shock. Crimson blood trickled down his face; he could taste a sweet, metallic tang just by opening his mouth—it was the taste of his own blood.
Then, a sharp pain radiated from his skull, as if he had just endured an earth-shattering saber strike that nearly made his head explode.
Looking inward, countless saber marks were clearly visible on his skull, nearly piercing through his cranium and almost knocking his brains out.
Blood flowed steadily, adding a red filter to his vision. It made Xu Jinhuan's whole body go cold and his hair stand on end, feeling very uneasy. If he didn't have the Eternal Chaos Body, he would already be dead!
Slain by a single strike from the skeleton before him!
Instantly, he hurriedly circulated his Eternal Power. Eternal patterns interlaced on his head and his bones glowed as he repaired his body.
"Holy shit!!!" The skeleton's strength terrified Xu Jinhuan; it was too frightening!
"Just what level of expert was this person when he was alive? A Peak Immortal King? No, the feeling he gives me is even more terrifying than the Destiny and Reincarnation Immortal Kings. Definitely more than that!"
He looked at the skeleton before him with a heavy expression. After waiting a moment for his body to fully recover, he stepped forward again.
He continued to fight with it.
With a squelch, this time it was his waist; he was directly cut in half, his internal organs spilling out like a bloody rainstorm.
Another strike followed immediately, passing through the middle of his body, slicing his already halved torso into four pieces. Even his Divine Soul was split apart; even Shang Yang's dismemberment by five horses wasn't as wretched as this.
But at the final moment, his own saber strike also swung out.
Just one strike.
The wooden saber, which was already broken to the extreme, suddenly crumbled!
