"Little Xie, give me some face," An Lin pleaded.
The Evil-Slaying Sword remained motionless like a piece of scrap metal.
An Lin blushed as he glanced at the dumbstruck crowd.
F * ck, so awkward!
"Haha, it's fine. Perhaps your sword is too tired and doesn't want to move." Xu Xiaolan immediately offered words of consolation upon seeing An Lin's expression.
She didn't know whether An Lin's Evil-Slaying Sword had a sword spirit or not, but she felt that it was best not to continue such an awkward situation. Thus, she took the initiative to defend An Lin.
An Lin nodded with disappointment and picked up the Evil-Slaying Sword.
He suddenly recalled something. It was a mission from the system.
Stage One Divine Weapon Origin Energy — Condition: Nurture a weapon spirit.
His Evil-Slaying Sword clearly had a spirit, and it could even insult its master. Why didn't it indicate mission completion?
"Xiaolan, I want to ask if my Evil-Slaying Sword can speak counts as nurturing a spirit?" An Lin asked in confusion.
Xu Xiaolan shook her head. "Of course not. The nurturing of an immortal sword refers to the fact that the sword spirit can detach itself from the body of the sword and materialize a body. The fact that the immortal sword can speak only means that the weapon possesses intelligence and is in the Spirit Condensation Stage!"
An Lin was a little disappointed to hear this. He had heard of countless ways to nurture a spirit in a weapon, but it all differed from sword to sword. Who knew which one this Evil-Slaying Sword was good for?
"Little Xie, Little Xie … How can I nurture a spirit in your sword?" An Lin persisted in his question.
The Evil-Slaying Sword remained motionless and didn't respond at all.
An Lin: "…"
Alright, he resigned to his fate.
This was a cold and aloof sword. Its stupid master didn't deserve to speak to it.
After resting for a while, everyone set off toward the last palace.
The most mysterious and terrifying place in the Winter Dragon Tomb — the Palace of Heaven!
The first two batches of cultivators who entered the Winter Dragon Tomb never made it out again after entering the Palace of Heaven.
An Lin stared at the palace that was glowing with a holy white light, and his heart was filled with unease.
The light seemed to be telling him all the beauty of the world. It was an irresistible charm. After staring at it for a long time, he would have the urge to rush into the palace to find out what was going on.
The Palace of Heaven was extremely huge. It was more than ten times larger than an ordinary palace. The gigantic floating rock that supported the Palace of Heaven looked like a lifelike dragon's head from above. It faintly exuded a supreme majesty.
"Same old rules, we'll let the two Gundams take the lead. If the enemy is too powerful, we'll run," An Lin instructed.
Gundam One and Gundam Two pushed open the door and entered. An Lin and the others followed behind them with tense bodies.
"Hmm? Why isn't anyone here? "An Lin was startled by the scene before him.
The interior decorations of the palace couldn't be considered luxurious. It could only be said to be simple and elegant. There was a faint scent of wood, but it didn't have that domineering air of supremacy.
In the center was a pillar of white light that shot into the sky. That was probably the source of the Palace of Heaven's holy light.
From the outside, this holy light was extremely alluring. However, from the inside, this holy light gave off a sense of peace and tranquility.
Before everyone had a chance to investigate, a figure materialized in front of the pillar of light.
Gundam One and Gundam Two suddenly activated the Ion Deprivation Protection Formation. A blue barrier of light enshrouded everyone within.
A white streak of light as sharp as a saber suddenly swept toward them.
"Boom!"
The white streak of light collided with the Ion Deprivation Protection Formation, and energy swept forth in all directions in a frenzy.
The blue barrier of light trembled violently for the first time, as if it was on the verge of collapse.
This attack caught everyone off guard. Thankfully, Gundam One and Gundam Two were robots, so they were able to react quickly and calmly. Thus, they were able to block this attack.
"Oh? That's an interesting puppet. Was it created by the Purple Star? "
An ethereal and distant voice that sounded like the sounds of nature suddenly rang out.
The figure in front of the pillar of light descended to the ground. It was a tall and slender woman in a white dress.
An Lin turned to look at the woman. Her features were elegant and serene, as if she were a Celestial Maiden. She had a pair of silver dragon horns on her head, which were so intricate that it was mesmerizing to look at them.
An Lin only took one glance before he found himself unable to tear his eyes away.
These dragon horns were like the most perfect artwork in this world!
M-hm, they were even more alluring than the woman's exquisitely beautiful face. He felt like he was going to become a horn-con if he continued to stare at them.
Not only An Lin, but even Xu Xiaolan, Dabai, and Xiao Chou couldn't help but stare at the pair of dragon horns …
They were even fantasizing about whether that pair of flawless dragon horns was the reward for entering the Palace of Heaven.
If they really were dragon horns, they wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. Instead, they felt like it was only natural!
"Have you seen enough?" The woman in the white dress wasn't surprised to see everyone staring at her dragon horns. Instead, she smiled lightly.
"Yes, Senior. May I ask if the reward for entering the Palace of Heaven is dragon horns?" An Lin asked with a respectful expression.
That's right, even though Long Aotian had said that the reward would be something like Shen Yin's bloodline inheritance or some sort of treasure, An Lin still hoped that the reward would be this pair of dragon horns.
"That's not it." The woman in the white dress wasn't enraged. Instead, she replied with a smile, "It's something that's not inferior to this pair of dragon horns in the slightest. However, in order to obtain it, you'll have to undergo some trials …"
"What trials?" An Lin asked curiously.
"The first trial is a trial of combat strength." The woman in the white dress materialized a sword of wind with a warm smile on her face.
However, the killing intent emanating from her body was as cold as ice, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
"Gundam One, Gundam Two!" An Lin yelled.
Whoosh!
The woman in the white dress stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of the two Gundams before slashing down with her wind sword.
One of the Gundams had just activated its Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation when the woman in the white dress sliced a gaping hole into it.
The other Gundam's lightsaber was already slashing toward the woman's waist. It was as fast as lightning, like a flash of light.
The woman's slender fingers formed the shape of a dragon's claw as she gripped the air. Crack … An extremely mystical power froze the space around her and stopped the Gundam's light sword in its tracks.
She stepped back and slashed her wind sword at an even faster speed toward the Gundam in front of her.
Then, a scene that left An Lin and the others in shock unfolded.
It was clearly a sword formed from condensed energy and didn't rely on any divine weapons. However, an ear-piercing screech of metal erupted as the wind sword collided with the Gundam's body.
In An Lin's eyes, the seemingly indestructible Gundam was sliced open by the wind sword amid a shower of sparks and sparks!
The Gundam flew back as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.
The other Gundam pounced toward the woman again. The woman turned around and punched it in the abdomen.
"Boom!"
Heaven and earth tremored violently. An Lin saw the space around the Gundam's abdomen begin to warp and crumble …
Countless cracks instantly appeared on the Gundam's silver metal armor, and its body flew back like a cannonball.
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath upon seeing this.
Even though the woman in the white dress had concealed her aura, only a Return to Void Stage mighty figure would be able to warp and shatter space!
"Run!" An Lin yelled without any hesitation.
Xu Xiaolan, Dabai, and Xiao Chou retreated toward the palace gate without any hesitation.
However, in the next instant, the woman had already appeared before Xiao Chou and unleashed a fist.
The terrifying power behind her fist sent Xiao Chou flying through the air as he threw up a mouthful of blood. She then raised a hand toward Dabai, and Dabai felt as if a gargantuan mountain were crashing down upon him. He felt as if his bones were about to shatter, and his body was completely submerged into the ground.
"Xiao Chou! Dabai! " An Lin roared as Wings of Wind materialized on his back. He was just about to unleash his Origin Energy of the Netherworld to fight to the death. However, the white figure appeared before him in the blink of an eye before unleashing a palm toward his chest.
The attack was too fast, and there was no way he could evade it.
An Lin's chest caved in from the force of the palm, and his internal organs were pulverized as he threw up a large mouthful of blood.
"An Lin!" a familiar yell sounded.
Xu Xiaolan wielded her Dragon Sparrow Sword and slashed toward the woman in the white dress without any regard for her own safety.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword appeared, and the cries of dragons and phoenixes erupted throughout the entire space. A crimson and blue sword projection swept through the air for a hundred feet before crashing down upon the woman in the white dress with unparalleled might.
"Dragon Sparrow …" The woman in the white dress' expression shifted as a hint of confusion appeared in her bright eyes.
Boom! Flames and lightning exploded forth, pulverizing the ground within a radius of a hundred feet, and a portion of the entire palace had collapsed as a result.
Xu Xiaolan didn't even look at the outcome of the battle. She turned toward An Lin in an attempt to escape with him.
However, the space before her suddenly shattered, and the woman in the white dress emerged from within before turning toward Xu Xiaolan with a scrutinizing expression.
"What's your name?" the woman asked in an ethereal and pleasant voice.
Xu Xiaolan bit down on her lower lip and panted heavily as she stared at the woman in front of her. There was a look of despair on her face. The disparity in power between them was simply too vast. In the face of such power, even escaping was an extravagant hope …
She thought to herself for a moment before giving up on resisting. "My name is Xu Xiaolan."
The woman in the white dress paused momentarily before a graceful smile appeared on her face.
"Hello, my name is Shen Yin."
