Chapter 520

Hearing that Neptune had settled the matter so quickly, Phaser was stunned for a moment before he said, "In the Other-Pupil Tribe, ordinary clansmen can transcend a rank to obtain a Sword Soul, which is seven ranks. However, I'm stronger and can transcend ten ranks. The strength of my current Sword Soul is at the peak of a 7-star Supreme Deity. Ten ranks above it is a 3-star Half-Step True God. "

"What a powerful divine power!" Lilliath exclaimed. She was always envious of others, but in fact, her special eye ability was truly enviable.

"If I obtain a 3-star Half-Step True God Sword Soul, my combat effectiveness should be a 4-star Half-Step True God. By then, Gu Ding, your ranking on the Black Iron Monster Leaderboard won't be as high as mine. "Phaser held his sword with both hands, pretending to be an expert.

"Then we won't help you find it …" Gu Ding smiled and touched his nose.

"Don't, I'm just joking." Phaser could not hold it in anymore. He did not expect Gu Ding to do this.

"By the way, what's that Black Iron Monster Leaderboard?" Gu Ding could not help asking.

As soon as he said that, not only Phaser, but even Lilliath and Dockett looked at him with disdain.

"Yeah, what's that leaderboard? Why haven't I heard of it? "Ayesha joined in, but she managed to ease Gu Ding's embarrassment.

"Gu Ding, what the hell are you doing? Don't you know about the Black Iron Leaderboard? Ayesha only knows how to eat all day, so it's normal that she doesn't know about the leaderboard. How can you not know? "Lilliath defended Ayesha.

"Uh, maybe it's because I've spent most of my time cultivating." Gu Ding stretched out a finger and scratched his head, but in his heart, he muttered, "Can a glutton be exempted from responsibility?"

"Alright." Lilliath thought about it carefully. It seemed that Gu Ding did spend most of his time cultivating, so she reluctantly accepted Gu Ding's reason. "Then let's hurry along the way. I'll explain it to you."

Everyone leaped onto the back of the golden skeleton and left the lake.

"In the Cosmic Sea, the highest public leaderboard is the Demigod Monster Leaderboard. This is a leaderboard that even ordinary people have access to. However, for experts above the Divine Spirit Realm, the ranking is not open to those below the Divine Spirit Realm. Only those whose cultivation has reached the Divine Spirit Realm can view it. "

"There are a total of five lists above the Deity level. From lowest to highest, they are: Black-Iron Monster Ranking, Bronze Monster Ranking, Silver Monster Ranking, Gold Monster Ranking, and Platinum Monster Ranking. Those on the Black Iron Monster Ranking were all lesser deities, those on the Bronze Monster Ranking were all intermediate deities, and so on. The Platinum Monster List corresponded to Half-step Real God. This ranking should have been around since ancient times, so it's named from Black Iron to Platinum. "

"There are only three thousand spots in the ranking from Iron to Gold. Only the three thousand strongest people in the Cosmic Sea could be included in the list. On the other hand, there were ten thousand spots on the Platinum Monster List. That was the biggest difference. Furthermore, the Platinum Gold Monstrous Genius List is not open to those below half-step True God. Only half-step True Gods have the authority to view it. "

"There's not much information on these lists. There's only the name, age, gender, and cultivation level. There's not even any indication of the forces they belong to or their specific strength level."

"Although I haven't seen this list, I personally think that with our current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for us to be in the top fifty of the Black Iron Monster Ranking. As for Gu Ding, he should be able to occupy a place in the top ten. After all, it's different from demigods. There are five ranks in the Lower Rank Deity. We're only at one-star cultivation now. Most of the people on the list should be at five-star cultivation. When Gu Ding becomes a five-star Lower Rank Deity, he'll definitely be number one. "

When Lilliath said this, she had no idea that Gu Ding was already number one on the Black Iron Monster Ranking and that she was in the top ten.

"My opinion is similar to Lili's." Dockett nodded. It was obvious that he knew a lot about the list. "It's said that the top fifty of the Black Iron Monster Ranking have the strength of a half-step True God. We should all be in the top fifty."

"Only the top fifty …" Elsa puffed her cheeks. She was obviously dissatisfied with the result.

Two days later, under Neptune's guidance, the group arrived at a canyon.

"Phaser needs to find a Sword Spirit. There's a three-star half-step True God vengeful spirit in the depths of this canyon. It cultivates swordsmanship, and its swordsmanship is already at Illumination. It's the one with the highest swordsmanship I've found. However, before that, we need to clean up the other vengeful spirits. There are about two hundred thousand of them. If I'm not mistaken, there must have been a small-scale battle here. That's why there are so many vengeful spirits gathered here. "

It did not take Neptune much effort to find the vengeful spirit that cultivated swordsmanship. All he had to do was follow the aura of the swordsmanship. In the entire ruins, there were only about three hundred places with the aura of the swordsmanship. After eliminating them according to the level of cultivation, it was easy to find the canyon.

"Thank you!" Phaser's gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. His strength had a lot to do with the strength of his Sword Spirit. Although he had improved his cultivation, his combat effectiveness had not improved much because his Sword Spirit was still the same. However, if he got his hands on this Sword Spirit, not only would his combat effectiveness improve, but his swordsmanship would also improve. The benefits to his overall strength were self-evident.

"Let's start cleaning up now!" Lilliath was full of energy. These vengeful spirits were tonic to her.

Everyone rode on the back of the golden skeleton and rushed into the canyon. Lilliath's Purgatory Fire swept out, and wherever it passed, the vengeful spirits would dissipate.

A little bit of soul power was continuously fed back into Lilliath's body through the Purgatory Fire. With the help of her Pupil, her Purgatory Fire could now even kill a one-star half-step True God. It was extremely overbearing.

Gu Ding did not intervene in Lilliath's battle. On the back of the golden skeleton, only Lilliath and Dockett attacked. However, Dockett controlled the flying daggers to kill the vengeful spirits that Lilliath had accidentally missed.

The golden skeleton carried everyone deeper and deeper into the canyon. More than two hundred thousand vengeful spirits were killed by Lilliath in less than four hours. The remaining twenty percent of the vengeful spirits chose to flee in all directions after seeing Lilliath's massacre.

Everyone reached the deepest part of the canyon and finally saw the huge vengeful spirit that was tens of thousands of meters tall. It was still dressed in a black robe and floated without feet. However, one of its arms was holding a black longsword that looked like it was condensed out of thin air. On the platinum mask, the pitch-black eye sockets stared at the crowd.

Phaser rose into the air fearlessly and flew toward the vengeful spirit.

When he was less than a hundred meters away from the vengeful spirit, the vengeful spirit suddenly moved. The longsword in its hand slashed toward Phaser, causing Gu Ding to frown.

Gu Ding was about to help but was stopped by Neptune. "Don't panic. Let him do it himself. If he can't handle it, then you can help! "

When Lilliath saw Phaser's next move, she exclaimed, "What is he doing?!"

Phaser ignored the vengeful spirit's attack and continued to fly until he was at the same height as the vengeful spirit's face. His eyes looked straight into the vengeful spirit's eyes.

Just as the black longsword was about to fall, the vengeful spirit's movement suddenly stopped.

Gu Ding and the others looked at the scene in confusion. They had no idea what was going on.

Only Lilliath saw a subtle flash of black light in Phaser's eyes. It was so small that it was almost imperceptible. Lilliath continued to observe Phaser's movements silently.

The next scene was also very shocking because everyone saw Phaser open its mouth. The vengeful spirit turned into a black mist and flew into Phaser's mouth.

The scene was somewhat familiar to Gu Ding. It was exactly the same as when the vengeful spirit entered his body. However, the difference was that this time, Phaser voluntarily absorbed the vengeful spirit into his body. The last time, Gu Ding was completely forced into it.

Gu Ding and the others could not see what happened after that from the outside. It was what happened in the soul space. All they saw was Phaser floating in mid-air with his eyes closed. It was similar to what happened to Gu Ding before.

In Phaser's soul space, a vengeful spirit that was tens of thousands of meters tall was inside. However, at this time, it was chained up by countless black chains.

The vengeful spirit kept letting out ear-piercing roars and struggled frantically, but it was to no avail. Occasionally, it would break one or two chains, but new chains would immediately replace them. The vengeful spirit was tightly bound, leaving only its masked head exposed.

In the soul space, a huge eye slowly floated toward the vengeful spirit. A white light shot out from the eye and swept over the vengeful spirit. Then, the vengeful spirit's aura gradually faded, and a black shadow slowly formed in the eye. After a long time, the black shadow in the eye slowly raised its head. It was a shrunken version of the vengeful spirit that was sealed inside.

Phaser walked towards the eye as well. Two rays of white light shot out from the eye and entered Phaser's eyes. Memory after memory appeared in Phaser's mind.

After a long time, he pressed one hand on the eye. The vengeful spirit that was sealed in the eye was slowly released and returned to its original size. However, its aura was obviously different.

"It went well. I got the inheritance, and the Sword Soul transformation was successful," Phaser muttered in a low voice. Then, he withdrew his consciousness from the soul space and returned to his body.

Seeing Phaser suddenly open his eyes, Gu Ding and the others quickly surrounded him.

"How was it? Did you succeed? "Lilliath was the first to ask.

"If I didn't succeed, my body would have been taken over by the vengeful spirit." Phaser smiled faintly. "My combat effectiveness has improved a lot, but I still need some time to adapt to this powerful combat effectiveness."

What Gu Ding and the others did not know was that just as Phaser opened his eyes, on the Black Iron Monster Ranking outside the ruins, Phaser's ranking had jumped from eighteenth to second place …
