Within the stone hall, threads of sword shadows appeared and disappeared, flashing about.
At this moment, Zong Shou's back was covered in sweat, his face was ashen white.
This was already 13,243 swords!
Before this, when he took the dragon pellet, the injuries he suffered were slowly worsening.
These sword shadows still didn't stop, like they were endless.
This battle was far more tiring than the one with Jueyu. The illusory sword shadows were a collection of seven different sword arts. Almost every one of them was at least at the eighth level of the Earth Shattering Level!
Moreover, every single Sword Intent had already surpassed 'Intent' and reached the 'Soul' level.
The Long Ying sword was polished by him in this battle to the point where he could use it freely, reaching a godly level.
His physical body was trained by the sword energy. Although it was covered in wounds, it would improve in the future.
However, Zong Shou couldn't see any hope of winning this battle.
If it was like this 14,000 years later, then it would have been even stronger 14,000 years ago.
Ye Feishuang said that in this legacy land, even the most talented dragon race wouldn't be able to bring out the 8th spiritual item. Now, he really believed it.
The sword light still pressed over bit by bit. A moment ago it was the vast vast energy sword, the next moment it changed to the great ice sword, and the next moment it was the lightning prison sword …
It made Zong Shou feel tired dealing with it. He was also filled with doubt. If the name recorded on the 3 pages of the mysterious golden life book was really Cang Shengdao's senior. He was most probably good at the sword path and was a top sword expert.
He couldn't be distracted and didn't think about how much time was left before the legacy land closed.
Zong Shou only knew how to go all out with his sword to fight for every bit of time. To adjust his meridians and recover his internal energy.
He tried his best to preserve more strength to deal with the sword wave behind.
Slowly, he forgot about the time and where he was. He also didn't think about the 3 pages of the mysterious golden life book. His thoughts were pure, only the sword in his hand and in front of his eyes were continuously forming and slashing over from all directions. It was as if each sword was stronger than the previous one, and each sword was more ingenious than the previous one.
Just as Zong Shou counted to the 21,200th sword, Zong Shou's eyes lit up. The Sword Qi that filled the sky finally subsided.
Meanwhile, Zong Shou was drenched in sweat. His footsteps were unsteady, and his body was on the verge of collapsing. His legs went soft, and only by using his sword to support himself did he not collapse.
At first, he smiled helplessly, but in the end, he felt a burst of joy.
This battle was truly refreshing!
Compared to the battle with Jueyu, it left a deeper impression on him.
The seven types of sword techniques at the Sword Soul level allowed his mastery of the Long Ying Sword to be raised to the extreme.
As for the incomplete One Origin Sword, which was full of flaws, he didn't even dare to use it in this battle.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou consumed several medicinal pills in succession. After the aura in his body recovered slightly, Zong Shou stepped onto the stone steps deep within the hall.
He didn't take a close look and directly kept the 3 golden pages into his sleeves.
Then, he took large strides and walked out of the door of the stone palace.
Looking around, only to see that there was no one around. Who knows if they had already left or if they were still in some stone hall solving those tough questions.
Only Zong Yuan was still there, calmly guarding outside the stone hall.
Zong Shou took a look and then smiled, "Did you get it?"
Zong Yuan nodded his head, flipping his hand and taking out another item. It was 9 pills.
Zong Shou took a close look, and then his eyes lit up, "So it is the Intent Accumulating Pill! What good luck! "
The so-called Intent Accumulating Pill was when the person who refined the pill used the spiritual pill as a support to store his martial path intent within the pill.
And the person who consumed it, besides being able to use it to comprehend a high level Martial Intent, they could also borrow the Martial Intent within the pill to fight with others.
The 9 pills in Zong Yuan's hand were peak Intent Accumulating Pills, and they already had a spiritual feeling.
What was rare was that 3 of them were related to lightning.
This luck was indeed not bad. Even Zong Shou was envious.
He did obtain many things after entering this legacy land. However, apart from the Magnificent Spirit Jade Marrow, there was nothing that could increase his strength.
Zong Yuan didn't make a sound, but he nodded his head in agreement.
Zong Shou calculated the time, and then his brows furrowed once more.
Unknowingly, it was already the last day.
"Only 8 minutes left …"
Looking around, Zong Shou made up his mind. With such a short amount of time left, he didn't force himself to obtain the 9th spiritual item. However, there was no harm in taking a look.
His eyes locked onto a pale gold stone hall not far away.
He had seen before that what was hidden within the hall was a flying shuttle the size of a baby's arm.
It was also the thing he was most interested in in this region.
His body flashing, Zong Shou didn't hesitate to flash to the front of the hall. The moment he stepped in, the doors closed.
The spiritual formation restrictions within the hall shone with a spiritual light. What was activated wasn't a path technique or a sword technique.
Instead, it was many giant black winged bats. Their gazes were fierce and cold, filled with a bloodthirsty intent. However, in his eyes, there was more of a loss.
Zong Shou sucked in a cold breath. Who knows where these beasts teleported over from. Pretty much every one of them was grade 9.
… Looking out, there were a total of 800 of them circling the wide hall.
Zong Shou's mouth was filled with bitterness. The difficulty of the test to obtain the 9th spiritual item was just too sick.
… 800 grade 9 beasts, this was really going to kill him!
At this moment, there were less than 60 breaths left until the legacy land closed. Zong Shou wasn't worried. As long as he could survive the initial period, he would be automatically teleported out.
In the next moment, Zong Shou had an idea and was deep in thought.
"Less than 60 breaths?"
Looking at the winged bats in the hall, a portion of them were ferociously pouncing over.
He heard that the winged bats were ferocious beasts whose vision was really short. They relied on their eardrums to hear and their spiritual senses were really sharp.
They all had sound element abilities. Sometimes they were used to attack, but most of the time they were used to scout the land and living beings to search for prey.
Zong Shou's brows furrowed slightly, following which he smiled. What was the harm in taking a gamble?
His Divine Soul was in turmoil. Then, one black and one white, two totally opposite Dharma Idols appeared outside of his body.
Instantly, half of the stone hall was dark and lightless, while the other half was eye-catching, unable to be seen.
All sound, all spiritual senses were twisted.
Within the stone hall, there were more than eight hundred Winged Bats. At this moment, they were in complete chaos.
Zong Shou laughed coldly. His body flashed once more, passing through the hundreds of winged bats, using his fastest speed to pounce into the depths of the hall.
When he was in front of the golden shuttle, he reached out with his hand. First, he felt a special ability, and then the spiritual formation restrictions were activated.
In the next instance, the black and white holes messed it up. With a light grasp, the golden shuttle was already in Zong Shou's hands.
When his soul power was nearly used up, the black and white hole dharmas were about to disappear. Zong Shou shot out dozens of body protecting spiritual talismans. Dozens of layers of spiritual light protected him.
When all the light and shadows returned to normal. Zong Shou saw that the 800 winged bats were all furious. In their panic, they all subconsciously sent out a vast sound wave that surged in all directions.
Without the black hole to absorb, the sound waves could only reverberate and shake within the stone hall, charging all about.
The dozens of body protecting spells around Zong Shou were instantly broken by a large half. He replenished them one by one, not caring about the cost.
Those hundreds of black winged bats were in an even worse state. A full 860 sound waves, comparable to a Grade Nine ability, were all stacked together. Power was so majestic that it could even compare to the highest grade spells.
Pretty much right away, close to half of the winged bats were unable to defend and were blown into pieces, turning into meat and blood.
Zong Shou's heart felt pained when he saw that. Not only were there no corpses left, but even their beast crystals were also unable to remain as they exploded into pieces.
The remaining winged bats weren't in a good state either. They went all out to block the sound waves that reverberated around.
In the next instant, another burst of spiritual light flashed within the palace.
Zong Shou's body was directly teleported out of the stone hall.
When he looked out once more, those black winged bats were nowhere to be seen. They returned to the stone steps that they had entered the hall from.
The hall doors in the distance were tightly shut.
Startled, Zong Shou felt so much pain that he wished he was dead. In just three more breaths, those remaining winged bats would all be wiped out.
When the sound waves calmed down, there would be many grade-9 beast crystals left.
… In just three breaths, he had lost huge amounts!
His face was originally ashen white and now it was even uglier.
Ye Feishuang, Ye Feihan, Ruoshui, and Chu Xue were all teleported out.
When they found Zong Shou, they were startled. Ye Feishuang instinctively thought that he had gained very little this time. She consoled, "Your Highness, you don't have to be sad. Who knows how many heroes were unable to enter the legacy land because the time was too short. Just now, I saw that out of the thirty cultivators, two of them weren't even able to break through the illusionary realm … "
When Zong Shou heard that, he felt the same way, nodding his head, "The time was indeed too short, we lost a lot this time. A total of nine, twenty thousand Xuan Grade spiritual items, your dragon race is really rich … "
While he said that, he kept the golden flying shuttle into his sleeves, his expression was really dejected.
Ye Feishuang was about to reply, but in the next instance, her pupils constricted. Her breathing became heavy as she looked at the item in Zong Shou's hand.
"Royal Demon God Shuttle? You got the Royal Demon God Shuttle? "
Following which she thought back to Zong Shou's eyes, her mind was at a loss, "Nine? You said that you got a total of nine? "
At this moment, she really wanted to kill this fellow with one sword. Even that Fangming, the two grade 9 experts of Tailing Sect and Yuanshi Demon Sect, only got 7. This fellow had already obtained nine items, yet he was still pretending to be like this.
On the other side, Ye Feihan's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Zong Shou in worship. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
