Transcendent Dawn - Chapter 426
Chapter 426: Chapter 0426: Sword Saint
Nia City.
This former jewel of the Federation had turned into a pile of ruins, or rather, perilous spiritual ruins.
All kinds of spirit realm creatures roamed around, not to mention the indigenous beasts that had ‘alienated’ into monsters!
“Mad Evil Eye?”
Celsus swept his gaze over a corner, his voice somewhat muted.
“Someone was collecting Mad Evil Eyes on a large scale before. The Federation suspected it was a spy of the Empire, attempting to use the tribe and the bloodline’s attraction to locate this place…” Schumacher said in a deep voice: “All suspects have been arrested and executed!”
His voice was icy, carrying a bone-chilling murderous intent.
Su Lu knew very well that the other party was a strong man stationed in the Dark Continent, sent by the Federation for a long time, his hands tainted with the blood of countless alien races.
When such people get angry, ordinary people might be scared to death on the spot!
“As for the Dream of the Ancient God? The real core here is a dark forest.” Arsen spoke next.
‘It seems… Not only was Nia City discovered, but even that passage couldn’t escape their search. This is very normal…’
Su Lu didn’t say anything, followed the two legends of the Church of Light, and came to the place where the Dream of the Ancient God’s passage existed.
“Inside is a dark forest… There’s a ‘feature’ that you must be informed of the most important location before you can truly ‘see’ it… After entering later on, I will point out the most important mountain peak to you.”
Arsen took the lead in entering.
On his body, a layer of blood color surfaced, and in his right hand appeared an ominous giant axe.
[Giant Axe Executioner]!
The occupational person of this path possessed powerful close combat abilities; their axe techniques were skillfully profound. Of course, the most critical thing was the ‘executioner’s ability, which was reminiscent of ‘death ordinances’, complementing Arsen’s post perfectly.
‘This feeling…’
Su Lu was somewhat startled: ‘It’s similar to the Axe of the Headless Demon…’
The Axe of the Headless Demon had the trait of ‘real damage’, which was terrifying; but, to Su Lu’s surprise, Arsen’s axe might possess this same ability!
“Could it be… the Headless Demon was once a [Giant Axe Executioner]? Cursed by a demon, and became a Cursed Spirit?”
Su Lu couldn’t help but conjecture.
But the next moment, Arsen’s tall figure had already taken the lead to enter the passage.
A line of legends followed closely behind.
Seeing this, Su Lu shrugged his shoulders and followed behind.
The dark forest was still as before, with many arm-like twisted branches pointing towards somewhere.
“Over there, there’s a mountain peak!”
As soon as Arsen pointed to a void and his words dropped, in Celsus’s eyes, the originally empty void, suddenly ‘surged out’ a pitch-black mountain peak.
“This…it’s truly incredible.”
Celsus muttered, and glanced at Su Lu.
Although others didn’t know, he and the Chief were well aware that Su Lu possessed the ability to ‘traverse the Spirit World’. This time, Dunstan assigned Su Lu for the task, relying on his power.
In such a dangerous place, this was even more so.
Thinking about this, Celsus couldn’t help but get closer to Su Lu.
“Sure enough, they’re there!”
After seeing the main peak, the aura of many fifth level professionals was unabashed, wantonly taunting and was instantly discovered by Schumacher, who couldn’t help but sneer.
“So, these are… the legendary professional rank of the Empire? They’re indeed formidable!”
The Chris Empire is the overlord of the Old Continent, ancient and mysterious, boasting an unimaginable number of legacies.
Even among the occupational people of the fifth level, the legends of the Empire prevail over the Federation.
‘Five! There are five legends on the other side!’
Su Lu was struck with inspiration, his face grave.
In the past, where would he have seen more than ten legends appear at the same time?
‘Indeed, the higher the professional rank, the wider the world becomes… However, why have these five legends of the Chris Empire been here for such a long time yet achieved nothing?’
Su Lu had a guess, it was his fault.
Ever since his stealthy invasion, he set off a chain of reactions, the key of which is the disappearance of the temple at the top of the mountain!
That’s the location of Shewinado’s God’s Tomb, concealing massive secrets.
Now it has vanished without a trace, regardless of what the legends of the Chris Empire wanted to do, they could only stare in frustration.
‘Huh? Why are they only at the fifth level?’
Suddenly, a thought came to Su Lu.
The seventh level is the realm of the divine, it’s difficult for occupational people to surpass. But the sixth-level mythical professionals, still have some representation in the long epic.
Why hasn’t there been one so far?
‘Either the degree of the Spirit Tide’s resurrection is not sufficient to unseal the ancient existence of the mythical level? Or the Federation and Chris Empire have reached some tacit understanding, to only fight mainly at the fifth level, after all, the sixth level is the peak of most transcendent beings, once they make a move, the involvement will be too broad and the destruction too terrifying?’
“So it’s them?”
Arsen seemed to recognize the professionals on the other side and said to Su Lu: “The ones coming are of the hereditary duke of the Chris Empire —— The Welsh Family. Their family is famed for the path of the [Cursed Swordsman].”
[Cursed Swordsman] is a special job switch, whose combat capability is top-notch among the third level.
However, its fourth level is the common advancement [Weapon Master], proficient in the use of various weapons, considered ordinary.
But the ancestor of the Welsh family, based on the [Weapon Master], specialized in the art of the sword, and opened up a terrifying profession —— the fifth-level [Sword Saint]!
One must denounce metal armor and defense in the profession of [Sword Saint]. The individual appears very fragile.
However, their attacking power is incredibly shocking!
The sharp longsword in their hand can fully rival the axe of the [Giant Axe Executioner].
What’s more crucial is that their swords possess a special ability —— Demon Breaking!
Even the fifth-level spells in legends would be slashed in one sword!
This description almost makes Su Lu think the Sword Immortals who can break thousands of methods in one sword from the East had travelled here.
“Cough cough…”
Lawrence’s expression dramatically changed. As a faith-based [Red Robe Archbishop], his power mostly lies in various Divine Arts, needless to say, he would definitely be killed in one sword by a [Sword Saint].
“The Church of the Seven Gods would not allow a resurrection of an Evil God… nor would the Chris Empire dare to.” he spoke with certainty.
“Of course I believe in the Seven Major Orthodox Churches, but not necessarily the Chris Empire… the appearance of The Welsh Family here indicates that the Emperor at least tacitly accepted this…”
Arsen gave a cold smile.
As for why he acquiesced?
Perhaps the imperial family doesn’t want to resurrect an Evil God, but they certainly wish to obtain the path to divinity.
It’s no secret that the royal family wishes a new god to emerge from a sixth level with the same bloodline.
While talking, the six of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.
A few figures have surfaced at the halfway point of the hill, blocking the direct route of Su Lu and the rest.
