Xia Lian was a Tier 4 Great Divine Official. He definitely had more information than a player like Shi Feng. ● Hiss.
Just the fact that Xia Lian knew what Rend of Eternity was was was proof enough.
Should I wait a little longer? Shifeng fell into deep thought as he looked at Rend of Eternity, which had sunk into the stone slab.
Now that Rend of Eternity had awakened, he could challenge the Legacy Trial at any time. He could accumulate some strength before challenging it. That way, he would have a greater chance of passing the Trial.
After all was said and done, he was still one of the Ten Great Saint Legacies. If he failed, the consequences would be frightening. He might even end up like what Xia Lian had said.
Death!
Heaven-blessed individuals were immortal existences. They could resurrect infinitely. Yet, Xia Lian had said such a thing. This proved that the price of failure was unacceptable. Players would have no choice but to delete their accounts and start all over again.
Waiting for his strength to increase significantly before challenging the Legacy Trial was undoubtedly the safest option.
However, after fighting in God's Domain for ten years, Shifeng understood one thing.
Life in God's Domain was like sailing against the current. If one did not advance, they would fall behind.
Stability was not enough. Sometimes, if one wished to break through, they would have to take risks. Moreover, he did not have that much time to wait.
Risk and opportunity coexisted.
The sooner he obtained a Ten Great Saint Legacy, the easier it would be for Shifeng to reach Godhood. Originally, Shifeng did not have much confidence in getting promoted to Tier 5. He had to make plenty of preparations, not to mention reaching Tier 6. That was the apex of God's Domain. How could it be so easy to reach?
Shi Feng was very clear about his own capabilities. His current strength was only due to the fact that he had played God's Domain for ten more years. The path to godhood was not something that could be accomplished with just a few more years of playing the game. If he had chosen one of the Ten Great Saint Classes early on, in addition to the plans and preparations he had made, he would undoubtedly have a greater chance of becoming a God.
Shifeng approached Rend of Eternity. He then grabbed the golden hilt and tried to lift it. However, no matter how hard Shifeng tried, he could not pull Rend of Eternity out. Instead, a system notification reached his ears.
System: Do you wish to accept the Legacy Trial? (Remaining time: 54 minutes)
"So, that's how it is." Shifeng smiled bitterly.
Rend of Eternity had never intended to give him too much time to improve.
The Shifeng chose to accept the test.
Suddenly, the Destroyer of Eternity released a golden light that enveloped the Shifeng and devoured the Shifeng. The Destroyer of Eternity also disappeared from the room.
"Teleportation?" Xia Lian looked at the disappearing Shifeng and the Eternal Destroyer. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
The entire Stargazing Tower was protected by an incomparably powerful barrier. Teleportation Spells were ineffective in this place. It was impossible to enter or leave the tower. However, it was easy to break through the barrier.
"I hope that little idiot can pass the test." Xia Lian looked at the place where the Shifeng disappeared and smiled faintly. "Just to awaken that sword, I'm already this weak. I'll have to rest for a while. Asking him for 500 gold is too cheap. The next time I see him, I'll definitely take it back with interest."
The Shifeng themselves did not know what was going on.
In the blink of an eye, the Shifeng arrived at a dark plain. Here, be it in the sky or on the ground, there were swords everywhere. It was a world of swords.
Meanwhile, in the distance of the plain stood a towering mountain that reached the horizon. The top of the mountain emitted a faint silver glow, as if it were a ray of light in the entire dark world.
System: You have discovered the Origin Sword Domain.
System: You are currently in a special world. All communication systems have been disabled. You are unable to communicate with the outside world.
"The Origin Sword Domain really is a world independent of God's Domain." Shifeng tried to open the system map. However, after doing so, he discovered that the system map did not display anything. Immediately, he looked around and saw nothing but plains. Moreover, the further away he was from the mountain, the darker it became. "It seems that the only exit is on that mountain."
Shifeng then looked at the swords embedded in the ground. None of these swords could be moved or carried. Some of them were similar to buildings, plants, and trees. However, unlike plants, plants, and trees, if one came into contact with these swords, one would receive damage. Although the damage was not very high, one could still die if they came into contact with too many swords.
In other words, when walking, one had to be careful not to get cut by the swords on the ground.
As for the swords hovering in the air, they did not pose any danger. As long as one did not fly, one would be fine.
However, this thought did not last long. As soon as Shifeng took a few steps forward, several swords descended from the sky. Among them, one of the swords just so happened to cut Shifeng's arm, causing -200 damage.
"Crap! It's going to rain swords!" Shifeng watched as the swords around him sank into the ground. At this moment, Shifeng finally understood why there were so many swords embedded in the ground.
Moreover, the swords in the sky dealt even more damage than the swords on the ground.
"Is this so that while players have to dodge the swords on the ground, they also have to be careful of the swords in the sky?" At this moment, Shifeng remained motionless as he quietly observed his surroundings, searching for the best route up the mountain.
The reason why he had stopped to search for the best route up the mountain was that when he had moved previously, the swords had fallen from the sky. It was very likely that the swords in the sky would fall from the sky due to the player's movement.
"Sure enough, it's such a setting."
After waiting for some time, sure enough, the swords in the sky stopped descending. However, before Shifeng could celebrate, the swords on the ground began to tremble, sinking into the ground one after another.
Shifeng felt that something was amiss as he stared at the ground beneath his feet.
Suddenly, dozens of swords emerged from the ground beneath Shifeng's feet, flying towards the sky.
Shifeng reacted quickly. Immediately, he somersaulted, dodging the attacks of the swords. However, immediately after, the swords in the sky descended.
"Are you kidding me?" Shifeng immediately unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and Purgatory's Shadow, blocking the incoming swords. Sword lights flashed, one after another, striking down the incoming swords.
Seeing this, Shifeng fully understood that this was a prelude to toying with him to death.
If he did not move and rested, the swords on the ground would attack him from time to time. If he moved, the swords in the sky would attack him.
This Absolute Kill mode did not give players any time to rest at all. Rather, it was an extremely short period of rest, so short that it was practically negligible. Players were forced into a constant state of combat.
Moreover, Shifeng also discovered that the swords in the sky were becoming more accurate. Their speed was also much faster than before.
"Are they trying to exhaust me to death?" Shifeng's lips curled up, his interest growing.
Immediately, he switched the Seven Luminaries Ring's Aura of Space to the Aura of Wind, increasing his Movement Speed by 40%, Attack Speed by 40%, and Agility by 30%. Immediately, he dashed towards the distant mountain peak.
The instant Shifeng moved, the countless swords in the sky moved as well, all of them turning to stab at Xiang Shifeng. However, what kind of speed did Shifeng possess? He was like a gust of wind. Relying on his Movement Speed alone, he was able to dodge many of the swords' attacks. In addition to his increased Attack Speed, he easily blocked the numerous attacks as he continued forward.
However, after several minutes of running, Shifeng suddenly discovered that the ground a short distance away had cracked open. Bone Knights in silver armor climbed out of the cracks, one after another. These Bone Knights radiated frightening killing intent as they stared at him.
