Chapter 1393 A Truly Priceless Treasure
1393 A Truly Priceless Treasure
As the second trial commenced, Yuan found himself teleported to a vast, empty land. There was nothing in sight except for a treeline that surrounded him several miles away, with nothing between him and the trees.
[Tier 1: 0/100]
[Tier 2: 0/1,000]
[Tier 3: 0/10,000]
[Tier 4: 0/100,000]
[Tier 5: 0/1,000,000]
Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he saw how many opponents he needed to defeat for the Tier 5 reward.
"A million?! In just six hours?!" he expressed his disbelief out loud.
The very next moment, he could see thousands of figures coming out of the treeline, and they charged at him like a hoard of monsters.
When Yuan saw the appearance of these people, he immediately frowned, and his aura gushed with killing intent.
These individuals bore the unmistakable appearance of bandits. They were none other than the Gold and Money Bandits, a group that he despised to the very core of his soul.
Each of these bandits emitted the cultivation of a Divine Warrior, from the first level all the way to the peak of Divine Warrior.
Yuan took a deep breath and flew into the air, stopping only when he was right beneath the clouds.
The bandits chased him into the air. Even though Yuan was surrounded by thousands of Divine Warrior bandits in every direction, he remained composed with a nonchalant expression on his face.
After taking a deep breath, he waved his sleeves and used a sword technique that he’d recently remembered.
[Limitless Sword Domain]
In the blink of an eye, two thousand swords materialized in the air, covering the entire sky. Even Han Zexian was only able to create several hundred swords at his peak as a Golden Immortal. Yet, Yuan had managed to create twice as many while only being a Spirit King. Furthermore, each of his swords was embued with Enhanced Sword Aura, so they were also incomparably much stronger.
"Limitless Sword, First Domain: Endless Sword Stream."
The two thousand swords began to dance in the sky, attacking the bandits relentlessly.
[Tier 3: 1,230/,10,000]
In just a few seconds, Yuan effortlessly slaughtered over a thousand bandits, and as he defeated a bandit, another one would appear from the treeline, so he had an endless supply of bandits to experience his wrath.
[Tier 4: 19,213/100,000]
[Tier 4: 39,716/100,000]
[Tier 4: 69,532/100,000]
[Tier 5: 101,987/1,000,000]
Yuan had reached the last tier of rewards in only twenty minutes, achieving it much quicker than he’d expected.
"I will complete the trial in a little over three hours at this rate. The Limitless Sword Domain is much stronger than I anticipated. Although it consumes a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, I have no problem keeping it up for three hours."
[Limitless Sword Domain]
[Rank: Mythic]
[Mastery: Level 1]
[Description: Consumes 25,000 Qi per second for every sword created using this technique. Overwhelm your enemies with sheer numbers and unfathomable strength! Increase the damage of each sword by 1% for every sword active.]
If it weren’t for Yuan’s monstrous cultivation speed, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain the technique for more than just a few minutes.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Yuan was stronger than someone at the Golden Immortal realm. One’s understanding of the sword also contributed to the number of swords they could create using Limitless Sword Domain, and Yuan’s sword mastery simply outclassed Han Zexian. And while Yuan’s spiritual energy capacity may be nowhere near Han Zexian’s capacity as a Golden Immortal, his cultivation speed made up for the disparity as long as he didn’t create too many swords at once.
As long as he doesn’t control over 2,000 swords at once, he would have no problem maintaining the technique for an eternity.
A little over three hours later, the green scenery turned into that of a horror scene where countless corpses piled as high as mountains with the bottom submerged in a sea of blood.
[Tier 5: 999,999/1,000,000]
After killing the 999,999th bandit, the atmosphere became quiet as no more bandits spawned. However, a threatening presence appeared a moment later, and a single figure emerged from the sea of blood.
This person looked exactly like the Gold and Money Bandit’s leader, and he had the cultivation of a 3rd level Divine Master.
Yuan glanced at the Bandit Leader with a disdainful look on his face.
He raised his hand toward the heavens and muttered in a cold voice, "Limitless Sword, Second Domain: Descending Sword God."
The two thousand swords suddenly merged into a giant sword.
When Yuan struck his hand down in the Bandit Leader’s direction, the giant sword descended from the sky with unfathomable pressure and prowess.
Seeing this, the Bandit Leader released all of his cultivation and swung at the incoming sword, creating a powerful blade made of Saber Aura. However, since the giant sword was strengthed with Enhanced Sword Aura, the Bandit Leader’s Saber Aura was powerless against it and shattered like thin ice.
The giant sword crushed the Bandit Leader’s figure the very next second, leaving nothing behind.
An orb of light appeared in front of Yuan a moment later.
This orb of light slowly approached Yuan, but it didn’t enter his body like usual. The orb of light stopped right in front of Yuan and began weakening its glow until it revealed the treasure hidden within.
Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he saw this treasure that was a single ring.
He quickly grabbed the ring and pressed it against his chest, embracing it.
[Huang Xiao Li’s Spatial Ring]
[Grade: Spirit]
[Description: An ordinary spatial ring owned by Huang Xiao Li.]
Even though the reward may seem insignificant and pointless to most people, it was a priceless and irreplaceable treasure in Yuan’s eyes, and he wouldn’t ask for a better reward even if he could.
