Chapter 1179: Trial-Taker, the Dark and Gold Token
Especially in a life-or-death battle. Every arrow fired required ones full strength; there was no holding back.
Luo Zihong fired three arrows earlier. Each of them could have destroyed an opponent of the same cultivation, but each shot was immensely draining to his cultivation base.
He would never have guessed that the attacks he saw as his killer moves would be useless against his opponent.
A chill coursed through his entire body. He was now fully cognizant of the Temple Masters reincarnations strength. He might not have reached the World King Realm yet, but he was still terrifying beyond imagination!
Clang!
The low hum of a sword rang out.
After blocking three divine arrows, Su Yi swung his sword and attacked so quickly it seemed he was teleporting.
Hurry up and retreat! Luo Zihong bellowed.
He raised his white bone bow and fired nine arrows in a single breath.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook violently. Nine silver arrows fired in rapid succession, creating an arc and slamming ruthlessly into Su Yi.
Their power was terrifying beyond imagination.
After completing this, Luo Zihongs face paled. His breathing sped up, and his cultivation base was practically completely exhausted.
That was his ultimate killer move, but he wouldnt use it lightly!
Riding the wind on my sword, floating atop the blue seas. What is there to fear in death? All I seek is enjoyment in unfettered freedom. Su Yi whistled, and the edge of his sword swept through the air. The illusory swords of samsara floated into view.
Heaven and earth instantly dimmed, as if all of creation had been plunged into a dark abyss.
The nine silver arrows silently hit the ground, destroyed as they fell into serene darkness.
Like snow melting into water.
This was Luo Zihongs last reserve, his ultimate killer move, but it had been neutralized just like that!
That terrifying scene left Luo Zihongs heart quivering with fright, but he had no time to give the matter any further thought.
Dark and dim sword shadows had already enveloped the skies and blotted out the sun. Now, they were coming for him.
Break! Luo Zihong bellowed, took out a blue Daoist Seal, and flung it.
The seal was perfectly square and carved with intricate divine markings. Its power was so terrifying that when it burst through the air, it resembled a soaring blue sun!
But a moment later
The blue Daoist seal trembled violently. The sword light of reincarnation circulated, cleaving through the treasure as if it were made of paper.
Luo Zihong was astonished, and he immediately tried to dodge.
Splurt!
The sword light of reincarnation brushed against his left arm.
The effects were visible even to the naked eye. The flesh of his left arm seemed to lose all vitality. Then, it disappeared completely, as if devoured by the cycle of reincarnation.
Meanwhile
The five Emperors standing beside Luo Zihong just moments prior disintegrated, and even their souls were obliterated!
Theyd been badly injured to begin with, and when the sword light descended, there was no time for them to dodge. They died on the spot.
Off in the distance, Luo Zihong gasped. His scalp went numb, and his entire body broke out in cold sweats.
Too terrifying!
If he hadnt dodged that attack just in time, he most likely would have been finished!
Youve lost an arm. How can you draw your bow now? Su Yi laughed, then stepped into the air, his attacks never pausing.
Go! Luo Zihong bellowed and breathed out a streak of fine, radiant light.
Crunch!
The sky was shattered, and it fell apart with a bang.
Upon closer inspection, that fine streak of light was actually a thin weavers shuttle shaped like a fish. Profound, inscrutable circulated across its surface, and its destructive power startled the heavens and shook the earth.
Su Yis pupils silently constricted as he swung his sword to meet it head-on.
Bang!!
The shuttle exploded with a bang, forming an appalling bundle of electric light. The impact sent Su Yi staggering back several steps.
Luo Zihong seized the opportunity to bite through the tip of his tongue. He was obviously using some sort of forbidden secret technique to flee!
In the blink of an eye, this Heavenly Longevity Realm World King had fled. No trace of him remained.
Su Yi was stunned. A hint of mockery tugged at his lips. The very picture of a dog whos lost his master!
He didnt give chase.
If a World King wanted to flee, it was almost impossible to stop them unless you had the power to crush them completely.
Alas. Against an opponent who likes playing with arrows, there\'s no way to get close. Otherwise, I wouldnt have needed the power of reincarnation. I could have just cut him down.
As Su Yi pondered, the dome of heaven suddenly rippled.
A streak of dazzling Dao Light descended. Mid-descent, it transformed into a radiant, colorful spirit sparrow.
Trial-taker, you are qualified to attempt our trial. Here is your Dark and Gold Token, the spirit sparrow said in its ethereal voice.
As it spoke, it beat its wings. A medallion floated into the air and shot toward Su Yi.
Su Yi was stunned. He could tell at a glance that the colorful sparrow wasnt a true living creature, but rather, a being manifested of the Laws!
He raised his hand to catch the Dark and Gold Token. Its front surface was carved with the words Dark and Gold written in ancient glyphs of the Grand Dao.
The back was carved with the words the Secret Origin.
But what really surprised Su Yi was that the Dark and Gold Token was indeed condensed entirely out of Dark and Gold Essence.
Might you tell me what you mean by trial-taker, and how to undergo this so-called trial? Su Yi asked with great interest as he fiddled with the Dark and Gold Token.
Hed explored the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals three times in his past life, but he hadnt encountered anything like this.
Nor had he ever heard any such rumors circulating through the Wilds!
The spirit sparrow said, Those chosen as trial-takers all have an opportunity to proceed to the secret origin grounds and undergo trial. The better your results, the more opportunities you have to receive supreme legacies of the Grand Dao, as well as a corresponding quantity of Dark and Gold Essence.
First, you must seize Dark and Gold Tokens from other trial-takers. You must gather eighteen tokens before you can proceed to the secret origin grounds.
When you arrive there, youll naturally learn how to undergo trial.
There are also ten Custodians in the outer perimeter. Those who receive their recognition are also permitted to undergo trial in the secret origin grounds.
If you die, your Dark and Gold Token will disappear completely.
Su Yi immediately felt strange. Something wasnt right here.
All of this sounded like the tests sects used to choose their disciples.
But the Forbidden Grounds of Fallen Immortals had long been seen as the most dangerous forbidden ground in all the Wilds!
Numerous doubts flooded into Su Yis head.
How do they select trial-takers?
Are the secret origin grounds located deep in the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals?
And just what kind of existence are these Custodians?
But before Su Yi could ask any further questions, the spirit sparrow shot through the air, transformed into the power of the Laws, and disappeared.
Su Yi couldnt help but furrow his brow.
He recalled the sentence written on the beast skin map. It called the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals the Birthplace of Ten Thousand Daos, the Origins of the Dark and Gold!
There was no doubt about it. Long ago, this place was called the Birthplace of Ten Thousand Daos, or rather, the Origins of the Dark and Gold!
Back in the day, the Dark and Gold Star Realm had been utterly resplendent. They saw it as the Birthplace of Ten Thousand Daos, and it had once given rise to numerous legendary, all-power experts.
And the Celestial Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm were born of its chaos source!
It was for this reason that Su Yi deduced that the heart of the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, the place labeled the Birthplace of Ten Thousand Daos, the Origins of the Dark and Gold, contained a portion of the Dark and Gold Star Realms chaos source!
Even though the era before recorded history had long since been lost, even though the Celestial Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm had long since been laid to ruin, and even though the entire star realm had declined
The chaos source of the Dark and Gold Star Realm hadnt dried up completely!
The Graveyard of Fallen Immortals remained!
In other words, the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals had stood since the beginning of the Dark and Gold Star Realm!
Trial-takers, the secret origin grounds, Custodians, a trial Does this mean that even in ancient times, the so-called Birthplace of Ten Thousand Daos had rules like this? If so, just what kind of person set these rules? pondered Su Yi.
He had the Temple Masters lifetime of experience, and it told him that there were surely secrets behind the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals existence!
If he uncovered the truth, he might well learn what had happened in the era lost to history!
Or perhaps
That long-buried history was about to see the light of day once more.
New sparks would light the fires of those long-lost legacies and cultures.
And those once utterly dazzling legends would circulate as they did in ancient times!
But the owner of that beast skin scroll said that even Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World Kings risked instant annihilation!
This suggests that not just anyone can discover the secrets of the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals. At least, no one throughout history has succeeded yet. Su Yi shook his head and gave the matter no further thought.
Hed obtained too few leads to reach any worthwhile conclusions.
Su Yis figure flashed and disappeared into thin air.
Shortly afterward, deep within an ancient, overcast forest.
Su Yi sat cross-legged, calmed his heart, and meditated.
The more power a Law, the more it drained his cultivation base.
Earlier, when he fought Luo Zihong, using the Laws of Reincarnation had severely drained his cultivation base.
However, after that battle, Su Yi was convinced of something.
Going forward, if he clashed with a Heavenly Longevity Realm World King, hed have no need to use the Sword of the Nine Hells power. Hed just barely crossed the threshold of mastery of the Laws of Reincarnation, but that was still enough to kill his enemies with ease!
A stretch of swamp shrouded in mist.
Luo Zihong entered a cave, raised his hand, and circulated the formation surrounding it. This was their base, and it was relatively safe.
He sat cross-legged, his expression terrifyingly overcast.
His severed left arm had already regrown, and his wounds werent all that severe. Still, hed suffered a grievous defeat, and he felt the lingering terror of someone whod narrowly escaped death.
I must avenge this grudge! Luo Zihong gnashed his teeth, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
It wasnt that hed lost his rationality, but he knew that here in the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, trial-takers were destined to oppose one another.
And Su Yi was the reincarnation of the Temple Master, so he was undoubtedly the greatest threat!
Without any further delay, Luo Zihong took out a strange golden bamboo tube and used his divine sense to carve a line of text.
Su Yi, the reincarnation of the Temple Master, has entered the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals. Hes currently in Greenwood Ridge. He fought me with his own strength, and unfortunately, I lost.
After our battle, I can say with certainty that even relying purely on his own strength, Su Yi is capable of threatening even World Kings!
Furthermore, hes sure to be chosen as a trial-taker. That means theres no laying our enmity to rest. If you see the boy, you must be cautious!
If possible, I hope we can join forces to destroy him and prevent future trouble!
As soon as he finished writing, Luo Zihongs eyes flashed, and he strengthened his grip.
Weng!
The golden bamboo tube quivered, and surged with a dreamlike rain of light.
Seth\'s Thoughts
Riding the wind on my sword, floating atop the blue seas. What is there to fear in death? All I seek is enjoyment in unfettered freedom.
This looks like a poem, but I couldnt find a source, so Xiao Jinyu might have made it up.
