Chapter 477: Four Season Saber (1/2)

Chapter 477: Four Season Saber

Xiao Chen muttered to himself for a while before saying, “I want to know how you managed to merge the changes of the four seasons into your Saber Technique.”

When Bai Shuihe heard this, he laughed, “You are extraordinarily greedy. This is the inherited Martial Technique of the Bai Clan. However, you are the only person who has managed to push me to such a level after thousands of years. I will accommodate your wish, but remember, do not leak these secrets to anyone.”

Bai Shuihe flicked his finger, and light flashed on its tip. The light quickly entered Xiao Chen’s forehead.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s mind felt as if it were filled with an enormous amount of knowledge.

Before Xiao Chen could consider it, the s.p.a.ce shattered. Xiao Chen opened his eyes once again and found that he had returned to the second floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower.

Xiao Chen’s finger currently pressed against Bai Shuihe’s forehead. Suddenly, Bai Shuihe’s statue shattered and exploded.

A formless power of will spread out from the second floor of the Ancient Desolate Tower. It quickly pierced through the walls and filled the surroundings of the Ancient Desolate Tower.

Bai Shuihe’s remaining will exploded, and all of the cultivator within a thousand meters felt as if something had hit them in the chest heavily.

They had no way to resist. They vomited a large mouthful of blood and grew very pale.

A dull thud also came from s.h.i.+ Hailong and the others. They did their best to suppress their surging blood for a long moment before they could calm it down.

The few people wore graves expressions. After a long expanse of silence, someone asked in a quivering voice, “Someone…managed to defeat the will of a Martial Sage!”

Although the wills had suppressed their cultivation to the challenger’s equivalent, they were not at a disadvantage due to their experience and Martial Techniques.

The only weakness they suffered was that they could not exist for a long time. However, they would have no problems executing a few hundred moves. Thus, it would be almost impossible to defeat one of them.

For someone to withstand ten moves, they would be a rare and precious outstanding talent. In the future, that person would, at the very least, reach the Martial Monarch realm.

In the several thousand years of the Trial of the Ancient Desolate Tower’s existence, aside from the Thunder Emperor, no one had heard of a challenger defeating their wills before.

However, this very thing had just happened before their eyes. How could they not be astonished?

s.h.i.+ Hailong had a grave expression as he stared at a spot of light that flew to the third floor. He muttered, “I can’t be wrong, I’m definitely right. There is no way I am wrong about this. It must be him, the first person who to arrive at the second floor!”

The instant the sculpture shattered, Xiao Chen’s body automatically rose and swiftly headed for the light barrier above.

This time, Xiao Chen paid attention when he pa.s.sed through the barrier. He carefully monitored the Qi whirlpool in his body for any changes.

As Xiao Chen had expected, drops of pure purple Essence liquid dripped from his Qi whirlpool as his body pa.s.sed through the light barrier.

“Di da! Di da!”

This time, Xiao Chen took ten seconds to pa.s.s through the light barrier, twice as long as when he pa.s.sed to the previous level.

Xiao Chen was pleased to discover that he had approached the bottleneck of Inferior Grade Martial King. His Essence surged, showing signs of breaking through to Medial Grade Martial King at any time.

It was no wonder everyone said that the Ancient Desolate Tower was a miraculous place. Everyone fought hard for a spot to enter it.

The rate of Xiao Chen’s Essence increase alone was the equivalent of one year of cultivation.

To the peak geniuses, one year was more than sufficient to cast the others far behind their shadows.

“Xiu!”

Xiao Chen landed firmly on the third floor and swept his gaze through the entire place. Compared to the second floor, the third floor was smaller.

Like before, drawings of many seniors decorated the walls, but no external force acted on them at all.

There was no pressure from above or suction force from below. A light barrier still loomed above, but no one flew up to attempt pa.s.sing through it.

Zuo Mo and the others who had arrived earlier wore unsightly expressions as they examined a group of gravestones in the center of the room.

“Look; another gravestone has appeared!”

It was unknown who made the announcement, but everyone immediately looked over. They clearly saw the words ‘Here lays the White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen, of the Great Qin Nation in eternal slumber’ carved on the gravestone.

A few people quickly looked back, and after they discovered Xiao Chen, they revealed the same expression.

Xiao Chen walked over, feeling suspicious. He discovered that the various gravestones had the names of the outstanding talents on the third floor carved on it; it seemed extremely odd.

There were even some ancient coffins laying quietly behind the gravestones. A dark atmosphere radiated from the gravestones, expanded throughout the entire s.p.a.ce.

Even Xiao Chen’s name graced a gravestone. However, he was clearly alive. He felt strange, looking at his own gravestone.

Xiao Chen asked Xia Xiyan, who stood to the side, “What’s going on?”

A grave expression shadowed Xia Xiyan’s face as she replied, “I’m not sure. The moment anyone arrives, another gravestone and coffin appear. Someone already tried flying up to the light barrier above, but he could not pa.s.s through it. This is different from the earlier floors.”

Xiao Chen nodded and focused his gaze on his own gravestone. He said, “In that case, the test of this floor must have something to do with these gravestones.”

“I agree!” Xia Xiyan responded uncertainly. Suddenly, she saw what Xiao Chen was doing and exclaimed in shock, “What are you doing!”

Xia Xiyan saw that Xiao Chen had walked to the coffin behind his gravestone. He placed his right hand on the coffin lid and tried to open it.

Xiao Chen’s actions startled everyone there. They quickly retreated to the back of the room. There were too many strange things in his Ancient Desolate Tower.

There was an unknown risk with suddenly opening the stone coffin like this. The results could be problematic.
