Chapter 1413 - 1412: Mysterious Shadow

"Armor, appear..."

Zhang Bin shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a set of white armor emerged from Zhang Bin's body surface.

This was, of course, the artifact embryo forged with the Dragon Bone by Qi Duo Tian Gong, and then Zhang Bin arranged a second-level formation.

This armor was truly indestructible.

It was also Zhang Bin's first time using it.

The sharp Sword Qi frantically slashed at the armor.

It made a clattering sound.

And the armor immediately was riddled with holes, scarred and battered.

However, it did not immediately collapse.

Zhang Bin took three more steps forward.

His face showed a look of shock.

Because he discovered that three steps brought him to another realm.

The Sword Qi's power doubled.

It was like chopping wood, and instantly turned his armor into powder.

He quickly eased his mind and used his ultimate ace, the protective shield of the Innate Spiritual Tree.

A flash of green light appeared, and a green protective shield appeared on his body.

This shield was placed tightly against his bones, not on the surface.

Otherwise, the shield would collapse immediately.

And with this, after being weakened by numerous special abilities, the Sword Qi struggled to pierce the green shield.

However, Zhang Bin dared to take only two more steps forward.

He didn't dare to take a third step.

If he did, his shield would shatter and his leg bones would break immediately.

Both his legs would turn into powder here.

"Only thirty-six meters from the summit, it truly is a Tianqian. The Sword Qi's power doubles every three steps, how much stronger can it get? Even if I cultivate to Ascension Realm Great Perfection, it would be difficult to make it to the top."

Zhang Bin furiously shouted in his mind, "With my talent, I still cannot obtain the supreme inheritance? Why? Why indeed?"

"Come back next time."

A crisp yet authoritative voice rang out, seemingly coming from the summit of the Sword Tomb.

Zhang Bin was stunned and stared blankly.

Then he froze like a fool.

Because at the top of the Sword Tomb, a blurry silhouette unexpectedly appeared.

The silhouette seemed to be a woman.

She was wearing a golden gown and a dazzling crown.

Her eyes were like stars, her nose like a jade pillar, her face like a rose, her mouth like a red leaf.

Her majesty was as vast as the sea, her aura Devouring Heaven.

She stood proudly there, her jade hand tightly gripping the Xuan Iron Tyrant Sword embedded at the mountain top.

Although it was blurry, her countenance was unclear.

But that graceful figure, that noble demeanor, that Devouring Heaven aura.

Was enough to captivate.

Zhang Bin, shaken to his core, felt an incredibly terrifying sharp edge hidden within her.

Once unleashed, the heavens and the earth might shatter.

"May I ask who you are, senior?"

Zhang Bin asked in astonishment.

"Fallen Emperor, when will you return? Blood Sea vendetta, when will it be avenged? Sharp inheritance, when will it appear?"

The woman's voice was vague, as if coming from nine heavens above.

"Boom..."

Terror-striking purple-black clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

Streaks of purple-black Thunder, with unmatched ferocity, bombarded the woman atop the mountain.

"I will return, my inheritance will return..."

A bitter voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.

That blurry silhouette vanished under the terrifying Thunder, disappearing without a trace.

Only the Xuan Iron Tyrant Sword remained, with purple-black Thunder still leaping, still flowing on it.

In a daze, Zhang Bin regained consciousness.

Then he felt alarmed, because it was all an illusion.

Everything he had just seen was illusionary.

No purple-black clouds were in the sky, nor were there purple-black Thunder on the Xuan Iron Tyrant Sword.

Even the Shu Mountain Disciples below were eagerly watching Zhang Bin.

They were, of course, expecting him to reach higher ground.

After all, Zhang Bin had already created a miracle.

"This isn't just an illusion, but a kind of magical spell. Perhaps it's set up with a formation. Or maybe it's the terrifying will of a mighty being, a re-enactment of the scene."

Understanding dawned on Zhang Bin as he contemplated, "That woman asked me to come back next time? Clearly, she acknowledged my cultivation talent. But talent alone is not enough; terrifying strength is also required. Currently, my strength is too weak. Out of 81 Dantians, most haven't been cultivated. If I obtained 81 attribute cultivation methods and cultivated them to great strength, I could definitely reach the highest point today."

"Since the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's inheritance demands such high strength, it shows it's extraordinary. This might indeed be an inheritance left behind by a supreme being comparable to Long Yu." Zhang Bin mused, "But is this woman like Long Yu, seeking to find a supremely talented genius to seize their soul?"

He really couldn't conclude.

However, the Sword Tomb shouldn't be a grave.

It should be an inheritance.

The woman's purpose might be different from Long Yu's.

Perhaps she is genuinely seeking a successor.

"Searching for a successor, nurturing a supreme genius, who grows strong enough to rescue her in the future. This method is slow, but more reliable, more stable than Long Yu's soul seizing." Zhang Bin analyzed in his mind, "If I obtain the highest inheritance here, I would become much stronger, possibly able to oppose Long Yu."

Thinking this, Zhang Bin became more excited.

He didn't proceed further, for it was akin to courting death.

His right hand suddenly reached out, grabbing an ancient sword on the right side of the path, and exerted effort to pull it out.

"Clang!"

Sword Qi erupted for tens of thousands of feet, its cold light dazzling.

Amazing heaven and earth.

All the Shu Mountain Disciples shuddered quietly, feeling an extreme aura of Death.

"My gosh, what kind of sword is it? How can it possibly be so terrifying?"

Everyone shouted in their hearts with shock, envy, and jealousy on their faces.

Zhang Bin's face showed gleeful surprise.

He immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Ancient sword resting horizontally on his lap.

As soon as the sword was drawn, the terrifying Sword Qi abruptly halted.

No longer attacking Zhang Bin.

Moreover, a strange sound resonated within Zhang Bin's mind.

It was a wondrous cultivation method - Edge Brilliance Divine Technique Mortal Realm Chapter.

It cultivates True Qi of the Sharp Attribute, which can transform into supremely sharp Sword Qi.

Cultivate it to the utmost, and slicing stars with the sword becomes easy.

For instance, on Earth, with a single sword strike, the Sun could be easily cut down.

In remote antiquity, Hou Yi could shoot down the Sun in the void with arrows.

Using sharp arrows.

Whereas Edge Brilliance True Qi relies on sharp Sword Qi.

"My heavens, the Edge Brilliance Divine Technique is the most aggressive cultivation method, and the True Qi of Sharp Attribute is the most invasive True Qi. This time, I've struck gold." Zhang Bin's face was filled with ecstatic joy.

He never expected the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's inheritance to be so magical.

He couldn't help but begin cultivating.

Yes, now he had already identified which of his Dantians was the Sharp Attribute one.

Because after enduring so many sharp Sword Qi attacks, he gained a clearer understanding of the Sharp Attribute.
