NOVPUBJust as everyone was pondering, a series of trembling sounds suddenly erupted from up ahead.
"What’s happening?"
Yan Ru looked toward the front with some surprise.
There, a large amount of ice crystals condensed and compressed to form an Ice Crystal Soldier, or more precisely, a general. It donned ice crystal-carved general’s armor, stood about ten feet tall, and exuded an imposing aura. What was even more eye-catching was the longsword in the hands of this Ice Crystal General.
The longsword appeared to be carved from ice crystals, exquisitely crafted like a work of art, with the faint image of a Divine Dragon entwined along the sword’s body, lifelike and emitting a sharpness that could be felt even from a distance.
"Is that... the Heavenly Dragon Sword? The weapon of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint!"
Yan Family’s burly young man, Yan Zhong, looked at the longsword and immediately felt a stir in his heart as he recognized the origins of the sword.
The Heavenly Dragon Sword was indeed the weapon of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint, an absolutely rare divine weapon that was hard to find in the world!
"The Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint’s weapon? Then it shall belong to me!"
A fierce heat flashed in Mo Junling’s eyes. Although he did not use swords, the weapon left behind by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint might hold secrets beyond its own value!
The real treasure of the Profound Ice Road, the Heavenly Dragon Sword of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint!
"Kill!"
Mo Junling, relying on the Unsurpassed Cultivation of the Rakshasa War Body, was the first to charge forward. The pitch-black spear in his hands struck out like an Evil Spirit’s claw reaching out from hell, aiming straight for the Ice Crystal General.
The Ice Crystal General slowly raised its hand, seemingly moving languidly, but as its longsword delivered a Splitting Cut, it tore a crack through the void, bridging space itself!
This simple sword stroke caused Mo Junling’s complexion to change dramatically, as he stepped sideways, daring not to meet it head-on.
"Hiss!"
The sword stroke that landed on the ground was silent, opening up a vast crack hundreds of feet long on the Profound Ice Road, as if it were cleaved by the sword of a Heavenly God. Such power was shocking!
"Is this Ice Crystal General that strong? A casual stroke of its sword is this terrifying?"
Ba Chen couldn’t help but feel alarmed.
But Su Changkong’s eyes flickered with a different light, "What’s strong is not that Ice Crystal General... but that sword, or more precisely, the Sword Soul within it!"
That Heavenly Dragon Sword was indeed extraordinary because it housed a ’Sword Soul,’ undoubtedly one that was infused by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint himself.
"Sword Soul? If I can obtain this Heavenly Dragon Sword and use its Sword Soul to hone my Martial Arts Intent, then... reaching the Soul Realm is possible!"
A hard-to-conceal excitement and eagerness shone in Mo Junling’s expression.
Transformation of spirit and soul is exceedingly difficult.
Becoming a Five-Qi Grandmaster and mastering the Martial Arts Intent is fundamental, but to extend the Martial Arts Intent to the soul, causing a Soul Transformation and reaching the Soul Realm, is even harder than advancing an Unparalleled Technique to the level of divine skills!
But with the Sword Soul in the Heavenly Dragon Sword, if obtained, one could constantly use it to hone their Martial Arts will. In that case, causing a Soul Transformation would be much simpler!
Like the Soul-slaying Spear in Mo Junling’s hands, it originally had a spear soul, but it had already been used by the previous Sect Master of the Rakshasa Sect to hone his Martial Arts Intent. By the time it passed to him, the spear soul had already been completely depleted.
And the Sword Soul within this Heavenly Dragon Sword had never been used before; obtaining it would mean the Soul Realm was within reach!
"Mysterious Yin Fairy, lend me a hand!"
Mo Junling roared.
"Okay!"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl clearly realized the value of the Heavenly Dragon Sword as well, with fervent fervor in her eyes. She collaborated with Mo Junling to seize the Heavenly Dragon Sword.
"Swoosh!"
A long whip emerged from the sleeve of the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl, and with a gentle movement, massive amounts of nature’s spiritual energy converged. The whip cracked through the twisted void, its tip striking like the mouth of a serpent, viciously lunging at the Ice Crystal General from an extremely tricky angle.
"Clang!"
The Ice Crystal General used the Heavenly Dragon Sword to deflect the whip, his swordsmanship fluid and mystical, as if lifting a weight as though it were light!
"It is not the Ice Crystal General who controls the Heavenly Dragon Sword, but the Sword Soul that manipulates the Ice Crystal General. The Ice Crystal General is essentially like a sword master who has reached the Soul Realm in swordsmanship. On this Profound Ice Road, he is unaffected, but others are constantly under assault by the cold, making him not so easy to deal with."
Su Changkong watched the scene, knowing that this Ice Crystal General was not going to be easy to take down.
"A Heavenly Dragon Sword containing a Sword Soul? It shall belong to this prince!"
At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince, clad in fine clothes, had his eyes shining brightly. He too was very interested in the Heavenly Dragon Sword that contained a Sword Soul. The ring on his finger flickered as a golden Longsword appeared in his hand.
He practiced swordsmanship and obtaining the Heavenly Dragon Sword that contained a Sword Soul would surely make his swordsmanship advance at an incredible speed!
The Thirteenth Prince joined the fray. Mo Junling bellowed, "You’d better roll out of the way! Otherwise, I won’t care if you’re some prince or not, you’ll be killed just the same!"
Mo Junling’s body shone with demonic patterns, exhibiting a heaven-reaching might. The long spear thrust forward repeatedly, aimed at the Thirteenth Prince, like a wild beast defending its food; anyone who dared to compete would be torn to shreds.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Thirteenth Prince managed to fend off numerous spear attacks but was pushed back, staggering. Ice crystals formed on his body, which he hastily dissipated by channeling his True Qi.
Enraged, the Thirteenth Prince shouted, "Divine General Gulie, this man defies his betters, seize him at once!"
The Gold-armored Divine General, Gulie, felt somewhat helpless. He wasn’t greatly interested in the Heavenly Dragon Sword that contained a Sword Soul; he would rather focus on exiting the Profound Ice Road quickly to explore other areas.
But now that the Thirteenth Prince had engaged, he couldn’t let the child of the Heavenly God face danger here.
"Demon Path Monster Man! How dare you!" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Gulie moved to action, his palm glowing with a golden light, and with a motion like Catching Stars and Moon, he struck from the air. A golden palm imprint appeared, bringing with it the force of a collapsing mountain, furiously assaulting Mo Junling.
"Hiss!"
Mo Junling’s spear thrust at the center of the massive palm imprint but felt as if it struck iron; not only did it fail to inflict any damage, but also, the vast power contained within propelled him backward in retreat.
"This Gold-armored Divine General... is so strong!"
Mo Junling felt a tingling in his wrist, utterly shocked.
Gu Lie, a Divine General from the Heavenly God Imperial Dynasty of the Upper Three Kingdoms, was one of the few who stood just below a Martial Saint in the entire Dynasty. Only the mightiest few could bear the title of Divine General – it was a testament to honor and proof of strength!
