Chapter 861 – Sword Soul Stone

If Wu Lian and the others wanted to rush into the wooden house, they had to either shake off the Bone Demons or kill them. Everyone smartly chose to shake them off by running faster than the Bone Demons. All of them ran in a frenzied manner, using every dodging technique they had. All four arrived in front of the small wooden house at the same time!

Boom!

The surge of air blasted the wooden house away. It also threw all the rotten tables and chairs in the house into the air. Long Chen focused his gaze and saw that only two objects remained in front of them. One was a one-meter-long black ruler. Black light flowed on its surface, and it radiated a cold aura like a blade.

The black ruler instantly attracted everyone’s attention, and they all looked at it with fiery gazes. Long Chen sensed an energy as strong as the Three Thousand Star Clusters coming from the ruler!

This black ruler was clearly an advanced Emperor-tier divine weapon!

There used to be only one advanced Emperor-tier divine weapon in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, which was the White Lotus Sword.

Subsequently, the Azure Lotus Sword and the Three Thousand Star Clusters were discovered.

Now the black ruler had appeared. Although they did not know what it was called, the black ruler was surely an advanced Emperor-tier weapon. An item like this was even considered a rare treasure in the Royal Territories. Even Sixth or Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage experts would fight to their deaths over a divine weapon like this.

Divine weapons were suited for humans but not demons, so the six demons had not stolen any of them. If they did, how could these mere First and Second Heavenly Martial Stage cultivators hold on to such precious weapons?

Even Wu Lian could not fully utilize the full power of the White Lotus Sword.

The black ruler quickly attracted everyone’s attention.

There were also two people in the wooden house. Using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, Long Chen could see that they were actually corpses.

They were sitting cross-legged together, and due to the darkness and distance, he could not see their faces. Countless years had passed, yet the corpses’ flesh was still preserved. This showed just how powerful they were when they were alive.

They were experts who were at least as strong as the Purple-Blooded Jiao Dragon.

They were likely a man and a woman, and they were wearing long, light-blue robes. There were several images of the eight trigrams on their sleeves and chests.

Who are these people? Why would they be here?

While Long Chen was mulling over these questions, the others ignored the corpses and started to fight for the advanced Emperor-tier black ruler.

Two corpses and nothing else. Perhaps the black ruler was the weapon they had left behind.

Perhaps because Long Chen had the Three Thousand Star Clusters, he was not interested in the black ruler. He just felt like there was something strange about the corpses. He could sense an aura similar to Wu Lian’s on them.

A very strong and sharp sword Qi!

That’s right! That’s sword Qi!

Long Chen suddenly came to a realization!

He focused his gaze and saw that there was a sword piercing through the eight trigram diagrams!

An image of a sword piercing through the eight trigrams!

This meant that these two people were likely the same as Wu Lian—they were also Sword Warriors who were born with Sword Roots!

They’re Sword Warriors, and their corpses have been preserved ...

“Long Chen!”

The most overwhelmed person present was Little Cat in the Primordial Realm!

From Little Cat’s excited tone, he knew that these were extremely precious treasures!

“Sword Soul Stone! Grab it!”

Sword Soul Stone?

Little Cat had told him about this before. Previously, Long Chen had asked how to become a Sword Warrior, and Little Cat had told him that he could if he could get a Sword Soul Stone someone else left behind.

It was very difficult to get one, and not even one in ten thousand cultivators left one behind. Being at a high cultivation level did not guarantee a cultivator could get their hands on one.

Plus, who would leave behind their life’s work for someone else?

Inheriting a Sword Soul Stone was also very risky. If the person was not careful and let the sword Qi leak out, they would be cut to pieces if they weren’t strong enough to suppress it!

Most importantly, who knew when they would die?

Only people who were severely injured and almost dead would even attempt to leave their Sword Soul Stone behind.

Therefore, very few people, even in the Royal Territories, received and inherited a natural Sword Root.

Passing down a Sword Root was very rare.

Long Chen’s nerves were tensed to their limit!

He wanted to be a Sword Warrior so he could comprehend the Sword Path to increase his combat abilities. The golden and black Sword Soul Stones were the keys to becoming one!

When the abilities of a Sword Warrior were added to those of a Dragon Warrior, how strong would he become?

“The Sword Roots in those Sword Soul Stones have comprehended three whole stages of the Sword Path! They can multiply a cultivator’s strength by seven times!” Little Cat cried excitedly as Long Chen charged.

It was no wonder he was so emotional.

If they were Sword Roots left behind by cultivators on Wu Guangyu and Wu Lian’s levels, Little Cat might not have reacted like this.

Long Chen did not hesitate to use Blood Warp immediately!

Bai Lan and the others did not know what they were. Wu Lian was also slightly obstructed by the sword Qi emanating from the stones. However, Long Chen turned into blood-colored light and instantly appeared in front of them!

He grabbed the golden Sword Soul Stone with his scaled hand!

“Get out!” Wu Lian, who was already very close, turned into a ray of white light and charged at him. She immediately reached out to grab the black Sword Soul Stone, and at the same time, a ray of white sword light flew at Long Chen!

It was the White Lotus Sword. If Long Chen were hit, he would not survive.

Therefore, Long Chen was forced to dodge using Blood Warp!
