Chapter 6434: This Sword Is Named Lightning Flame

Just then, the new king relayed a voice transmission to Little Fishy and the others, “His defense is not impenetrable. I have a conjecture...”

On top of his powerful defensive means, he also had a sharp eye, evident from how he had never failed to manifest the black aura armor in time to protect Wang Qiang and the others whenever they exposed an opening.

He informed Wang Qiang and the others what he had observed and deduced via voice transmission. Wang Qiang and the others also began secretly discussing it. Moments later, Xian Miaomiao and Wang Qiang’s eyes hardened in determination.

A green aura and a black aura gushed from their bodies into the sky, but the auras swiftly receded into them. Their presence intensified. Their fighting prowess grew, and their life force flared as well.

“Igniting your life force? Looks like you’re getting desperate,” the black monstrous beast sneered.

Wang Qiang and Xian Miaomiao charged at the black monstrous beast with their God Armaments. By igniting their life force, they grew strong enough to rival the black monstrous beast by themselves, as long as they focused on offense.

“Why aren’t you coming at me together? Are the others incapable of igniting their life force? Four Fiends Divine Body and Soul Fog—such incredible treasures. It’s a pity you’ll be dying here today,” the black monstrous beast scoffed.

His eyes suddenly narrowed as he noticed the ground beneath him billowing.

At the same time, Little Fishy and Xianhai Shaoyu shouted, “Bloodline Secret Skill: Shackles of the Forbidden Sea!”

Whoosh!

Luminescent waves of towering heights gushed forth from the ground, instantly devouring the black monstrous beast, Wang Qiang, and Xian Miaomiao while transforming the surroundings into an ocean.

To the black monstrous beast’s surprise, neither Wang Qiang nor Xian Miaomiao was affected by the terrain change, but his own movements had gotten a lot slower.

“Uwa!” an infant’s cry suddenly echoed.

A terrifying embryo head suddenly appeared in front of the black monstrous beast. The moment the embryo opened its eyes, his heart quivered.

It was Song Yun’s means.

At the same time, two bundles of flames were imbued into Xian Miaomiao and Wang Qiang’s weapons.

“Blazing Sun Secret Skill: Fiery Weapon Enchantment.”

It was Yuwen Yanri. His secret skill amplified the prowess of Xian Miaomiao and Wang Qiang’s God Armaments so much that the sheer flames distorted space.

Wang Qiang and Xian Miaomiao charged at the black monstrous beast from different directions.

With his movements slowed and mind shaken, the black monstrous beast couldn’t hope to dodge the attack. He did manage to deflect Wang Qiang’s blade, but he was unable to do the same for the other attack.

Xian Miaomiao’s God Armament plunged into his body.

Boom!

Flames erupted from the black monstrous beast inside out, torching him alive. Xian Miaomiao didn’t hesitate to slice downward, cutting the black monstrous beast into half.

The black monstrous beast’s body fell to the ground, yet the edges of his lips curled into a smile. Then, he dissipated into thin air.

“Sharp observation, new king! You were right!” Xianhai Shaoyu cheered, only for his body to tilt sideward right after. He would have collapsed to the ground if not for Little Fishy holding him up.

Little Fishy was faring much better, but her beautiful face was slicked in cold sweat, and she was breathing rapidly. The bloodline secret skill posed a heavy burden on Little Fishy and Xianhai Shaoyu despite them channeling it in unison.

Song Yun fell on her bum and stretched her hands wide open, forming a ‘大’ character on the ground. She didn’t have the energy to even consider whether her posture was beautiful or not.

Yuwen Yanri was also gasping for air.

All of them had used their strongest means for the earlier coordination, pushing themselves to their very limit to ensure the highest probability of success. It was an all-out gamble. Fortunately, they succeeded.

And the greatest contributor was none other than the new king.

The black monstrous beast’s armor was indeed formidable, capable of withstanding most attacks without the slightest scratch. However, it didn’t make sense for a God Armament imbued with a God Taboo Martial Skill to fail to penetrate his body and even be shattered by his armor.

If that was the black monstrous beast’s base defense level, there would have been no need for him to dodge any of their attacks. He could have charged into their ranks and rampaged instead of going through so much trouble.

Thus, the new king theorized that the black monstrous beast must have utilized some kind of secret skill that allowed him to focus all his defensive prowess at a single point in the moment the attack landed. That would explain why Little Fishy’s God Armament shattered.

The black monstrous beast might be capable of using this secret skill multiple times, but chances were that he could only focus his defense at a single area at any point in time.

Thus, when Xian Miaomiao and Wang Qiang attacked him at the same time, he could only choose to block one of their attacks, of which, he chose Wang Qiang’s attack. That, in turn, allowed Xian Miaomiao’s attack to go through.

“Hm?’

Chu Feng and the others suddenly sensed a change in the spirit formation gate and glanced over.

“Can the people outside see us now? What does this mean?”

Chu Feng and the others still couldn’t see what was happening outside, but they sensed gazes coming from the other side of the spirit formation gate. As they had guessed, the people outside could see what was happening inside the spirit formation gate now.

“That entity is no longer there. Did they succeed?”

“Why is Chu Feng trapped?”

The crowd outside were both surprised and overjoyed, but more than anything, they remained worried. Their attention was swiftly drawn to the square they stood on, for it had started glowing brightly.

The treasures in the square had been unsealed, so they could be used for cultivation now.

At the same time, the humongous tombstone shattered. Its smithereens fell and dissipated as auras when they struck the ground. Soon, there was only a single item left where the tombstone once stood.

It was a fiery-red sword shaped like the tombstone.

It was simple but domineering. The words ‘Lightning Flame’ was inscribed on its blade. It didn’t emanate any aura, but everyone’s eyes were drawn to it because of another character inscribed on it—’Heaven’. Around its ‘Heaven’ character was a circle of indecipherable runes.

It was clearly an extremely powerful God Armament.

The black monstrous beast’s dissipated aura reappeared and converged together.

“The Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor carries the Heavenly Lightning Bloodline, which was dubbed to be a mortal bloodline because it pales in comparison to other god-tier bloodlines. However, the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor, with his sheer talent, stood alongside cultivators possessing God-tier Bloodlines. The Lightning Flame Swordsmanship he created even had him crowned as one of the most aggressive experts in the Immemorial Era.

“The legacy left here by the Lightning Flame Dao Ancestor is none other than his God Armament sword, Lightning Flame. This sword was forged with the Otherworldly Lightning and the Nine Revolutions Netherworld Flame,” the black monstrous beast announced.

By then, his body had already fully recovered.

Chu Feng and the others weren’t surprised. The black monstrous beast was merely testing them earlier; there was no way his true cultivation was only at rank five Heavenly God level.

“Clear this trial, and one of you will be permitted to take Lightning Flame with you.”

The cage around Chu Feng unraveled.

At the same time, cages manifested around everyone else in the spirit formation gate except for Chu Feng, trapping them in place.

The black monstrous beast pointed his black thorn at Chu Feng and declared, “Defeat me before the incense stick burns out, and all of you will be permitted to live. Fail to defeat me before the incense stick burns out, and all of you will die.”

The crowd looked at the incense stick. There was only a tenth of it left.
