Boom!
A massive explosion sounded out as an enormous black and gray aura rushed out from the ground, turning into a massive pillar that shot into the sky. The entire region trembled and a cold aura spread out, causing the heavens and earth to become dim.
The multi-colored sword on the stage also shot out many different colors, and it gave off clear sword hums.
Shing!
The sword flew up and turned into a ray of sword light as it came before Gui Ji and spun around her a few times, as if it was sizing her up.
In the end, the sword stopped in front of Gui Ji with the tip pointing down and the hilt pointing up, and it gave off a faint light.
Gui Ji could not help but grip the sword, and in that moment…
Boom!
A massive explosion sounded out as the pillar of aura exploded, and the aura flooded into Gui Ji's body. A massive shockwave rippled out, causing a crater that was over 1,000 meters to appear.
Zhao Fu was quite shocked. The black and gray aura madly flooded into Gui Ji's body, causing a wild gale to blow out, which forced Zhao Fu back, and he had to unleash his Saint Realm Domain.
Gui Ji's aura became more and more powerful, and it jumped from Stage 8 to the Saint Realm, Earth Realm, Heaven Realm, and then the World Realm.
As Gui Ji's aura became stronger and stronger, the berserk gale became more and more intense. The ground around her could not withstand it, and it gradually cracked and collapsed.
In the end, Zhao Fu gulped as he looked at Gui Ji in shock. The aura she gave off was now at the Emperor Heaven Realm, and the black and gray aura had completely entered her body.
Zhao Fu became wary because an expert of this level was incredibly dangerous. Moreover, he could not use his Nation Armament, so if Gui Ji wanted to do anything to him, he would not be able to resist.
Gui Ji continued to hug the small cat while holding the sword with her eyes closed.
The cat in her arms seemed to have absorbed some of the black and gray aura as well, and its fur became black and two black horns grew on its head. Its Ghost God Bloodline had also been greatly upgraded, and its strength was now at Stage 4 or Stage 5. Because of Gui Ji, it had also obtained a stroke of luck.
Gui Ji slowly opened her eyes and looked at the nervous-looking Zhao Fu, and she smiled as she asked, "What's wrong, husband?"
Zhao Fu let out a breath and asked, "What just happened? Is there a connection between you and that sword?"
Gui Ji smiled and nodded, "This is the sword I used in the past and its grade is a Heaven Armament. It also sealed some of my power, which I have now retrieved."
Zhao Fu did not know who had sealed this sword here, and he felt that it was somewhat of a coincidence. If he had not met the Seeking Yin Beast and Shang Long, he would not have met Gui Ji and would not have obtained this sword's power.
However, the reward for the third level being a Heaven Armament was quite shocking. Heaven Armaments surpassed Earth Armaments, which were things that godly spirits used.
Of course, the biggest benefit was that Gui Ji's strength now reached the Emperor Heaven Realm. Emperor Heaven Realm experts had the power of ten worlds, and ordinary World Realm experts could not resist at all in front of them.
Now that Great Qin had an Emperor Heaven Realm expert, Zhao Fu no longer had to fear the Wind God Empire's Emperor Heaven Realm expert. In the future, if the Wind God Empire wanted to do anything to Great Qin, Great Qin would have the strength to resist.
Thinking about that, Zhao Fu was on the verge of loudly laughing.
"Husband, do you want this sword?" Gui Ji held out the sword. Even though this sword had once belonged to her, it was Zhao Fu who had unsealed it and she had not done anything.
Zhao Fu smiled and said, "This sword belongs to you. Also, how do you feel after rising through so many stages?"
Gui Ji happily replied, "Thank you, husband. I haven't fully controlled this power yet, but I've regained some of my memories. I should be able to take control of this power soon."
Following this, everyone else came over and looked at Gui Ji in shock. This increase in strength was simply too shocking – jumping from Stage 8 to the Emperor Heaven Realm was simply unimaginable.
Zhao Fu took out the Heaven-Sealing Sword and said to the little girl within, "Stay in there for now; after leaving his historical remnant, I'll take you out."
Now that she had finally escaped the bondage of the magic formation and could go to other places, Lu Luo said excitedly, "Okay, but staying in the sword as a sword spirit isn't bad either. I was once a weapon spirit, and without a vessel, my power will quickly decline. How about you make me this sword's sword spirit?"
Zhao Fu lightly laughed; he had obtained another precious sword. The Heaven-Sealing Sword combined with the sealing spirit would become incredibly powerful.
Zhao Fu talked with Lu Luo a bit more before putting her into the Sword Mark. Zhao Fu and his group opened the silver doors and headed to the next level.
After the door was opened, an intoxicating fragrance rushed out and lotus-like blue flowers could be seen. These flowers grew on black vines and were as big as a palm, and these black vines covered the ground.
The sky was black and the blue flowers gave off faint blue lights, looking quite beautiful and majestic.
Shang Long explained, "Master, these are Passion Desire Flowers that can intoxicate people and contain powerful aphrodisiacs. If men and women enter together, they will die from exhaustion of doing it; if men and women enter separately, they will go through the same illusions and might die within the illusions. The vines will eat the corpses and grow even more beautiful Passion Desire Flowers.
"This level is filled with Passion Desire Flowers and is incredibly dangerous; this old man unfortunately cannot follow master in."
Hearing Shang Long's explanation, the women's faces became red, because if men and women entered together, they would die of exhaustion from doing it.
Shang Long did not want to go in to avoid making trouble for Zhao Fu, as those women belonged to Zhao Fu. As such, he could only suggest remaining here to avoid doing anything that might cost him his life.
Even though the women's faces were red, their eyes were quite hazy. They wanted to do it with Zhao Fu, so they wanted to go in with him and experience that feeling of madness.
Hearing Shang Long's words, Zhao Fu had the women stay here. He did not bring Gui Ji either; she could stay here and properly gain control over her power.
The women all disappointedly agreed, and Bai Xiaoxi said worriedly, "Husband, make sure you're careful."
Zhao Fu smiled and nodded. In actuality, Zhao Fu was not worried at all, because with Celestial Mode and his Divine Bloodline, he had great resistance against illusions.
