Chapter 123 - Golden Invincibility, Sword Qi from the Eyes (1/2)

The revelation of higher grades of the Legendary sword?

Zhou Xuanji began waiting in anticipation.

The little black snake suddenly crawled up the tree and spat his forked-tongue. There were two bumps on its head, which made him look more and more terrifying.

“Master, I have a request.”

He spoke sincerely but kept its distance from Zhou Xuanji.

With this distance, Zhou Xuanji would not be able to hit him with his sword.

A sword suddenly appeared in Zhou Xuanji’s hands, and it was the Falling Petal. The little black snake immediately dashed down the tree and ran away.

He looked at the little black snake with suspicion, before returning his focus on the Falling Petal.

This sword was gold in color. Numerous patterns were carved onto the blade, which, when vibrating, looked like countless flower petals falling.

Three lines of words appeared before his eyes:

Sword Name: Falling Petals

Grade: Golden

Description: Falling Petals. Its sword Qi forms into an incredibly alluring flower, which can delude its enemy easily.

…

So so!

Zhou Xuanji thought to himself. Ever since he obtained the God-Emperor Sword, he no longer fancied Gold Grade legendary swords.

“Why is it still not revealing yet?” He asked in his heart.

“Current grades of legendary swords that can be revealed, from bottom to top, are Ordinary Ore, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Amethyst, Glorious Gold, Heavenly Soul, Intimidating Spirit, Celestial-shaking, God-slaying, Armageddon. Higher grades will only be revealed after the Sword Owner becomes stronger.”

Heavenly Soul!

Intimidating Spirit!

Celestial-shaking!

God-slaying!

Armageddon!

Each sounded so mighty and imposing.

Zhou Xuanji blinked. He felt like he was already unrivaled in the ordinary realm with the Glorious Gold swords, how much more terrifying would the swords of the higher grade be?

Could God-slaying legendary sword really kill gods?

Could Armageddon legendary swords really destroy everything alive with one slash?

He became more excited as he thought about it. The Supreme Legendary Sword System was really powerful, indeed.

At this moment, an air-piercing sound came.

They settled down in a small forest with a lake at its center, which made it a suitable place to settle down along with its tall trees.

The person who was coming was Zhao Congjian.

He flew into the forest on his sword and quickly landed under the tree that Zhou Xuanji was on. “Master, the Empress was about to leave Great Zhou!” He said excitedly.

With this, Zhou Xuanji immediately turned his gaze towards him. Everyone else did so too.

The reason why they came to Juemo Wasteland was to ambush the Empress. How could they not be thrilled by such news?

Xiao Jinghong immediately asked, “Who is escorting her?”

The true power of the Empress was always a mystery. She was powerful for sure, but definitely not more powerful than the Sword Monarch.

“First Grade State General, Xitan Changshi!” Zhao Congjian said.

Xitan Changshi was a name that could move the entire Great Zhou.

He was the god of war of the Great Zhou Empire!

Back then, when Great Zhou was facing total decimation, it was he who fought with generals of each empire with his life. Although he almost died, he managed to persevere until Emperor Yan of Zhou broke through to Great Realization.

After Emperor Yan of Zhou broke through to Great Realization, he suppressed all his enemies with his absolute and unrivaled power. With that, he led the empire into a revival, from its near-death to all the flourishing and prosperity it enjoyed today.

Xitan Changshi was extremely powerful and was nurtured by the Emperor. Now, he was one of the top five cultivators in Great Zhou and was no weaker than the Sword Monarch.

Zhou Xuanji could only injure the Sword Monarch and even with the help of the God-Emperor Sword, he was not able to defeat him.

Facing someone like Xitan Changshi, who was on par with the Sword Monarch, it would be extremely difficult to assassinate the Empress.

Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes and asked, “When will they move?”

“I’m not sure,” Zhao Congjian said with a deep voice, “They are still in the midst of preparation. But the plan has already been firmed up, and news about it has been sent out. I heard that the Empress will invite the land god of Merciful Melody Cliff to Great Zhou to preach and help the commoners. This was something that brings great joy to the entire Great Zhou.”

Zhou Xuanji frowned. In this case, if he were to stop this from happening, wouldn’t he become a great sinner to Great Zhou?

But he did not care about it. Since he will not stay in Great Zhou after assassinating the Empress.

“What is the shortest time they might take?”
