Legendary Sword God Sect - Chapter 70

With the acceptance of the quest, a new feature of the system has been added and is labelled as quest log, all that’s needed to open up the viewer, will be a single thought from the host.

“Open up he quest log.” Nightin thought to himself after reading the instructions given to him by the system, only for another system message to appear.

After reaching the new version 2.0, you would be required to choose a background colour which would represent the characteristics and it will greatly affect the new feature opened up in version 3.0. In addition, it would benefit your current self with the unimportant decision of yours.

Nightin closed his eyes as he started to think to himself, what would be the best colour representing him.

Would it be the valiant red representing bravery and courage, or would it be the swift green representing speed and endurance?

He was unsure and couldn’t find the answer towards this simple question of his, the more he started to delve deeper into his thoughts, the more lost he became as a web of questions started to engulf him.

The Emperor bat beside him saw this as he called out “Hey young lad, what are you doing staring into space over there?”

Nightin however had already lost his senses connected to the outside world as he saw a world full of stars appear before his eyes.

There were countless stars filling up the neon sky, the stars ranged from big to small and were of different colours, each having their own characteristics and traits which would lead to an final answer.

Nightin didn’t need any guidance and could sense that the bigger the star, the more immense the energy contained within them and the more strength it would grant him.

Scanning around, he could feel a few of the stars giving off a feeling of danger as he made sure to stay away from those, because his mind was telling him to head for the absolute danger.

In the middle of all those dazzling stars, stood one left out there alone, it was the smallest star out of all these here, but the energy it held was so immense that it suppresses all the stars here.

It wasn’t because it didn’t hold immense spirit energy that caused its size, but because it was the only star which managed to suppress its energy to form the ultimate foundation, it may have started off as the one being picked on, but it’s now the overlord of them.

No star dared to approach or even stay near it, they were sure that if they ticked it off accidentally, they would still perish even though they didn’t have the intention to do so.

Nightin didn’t know why, but he knew that the star right now, was the only thing worthy of him absorbing, the rest are just absolute trash in his eyes worth nothing, they might pose some form of danger right now, but where would they lay after he grows much stronger.

Advancing further into the core of the galaxy of stars, he could feel the crushing pressure forcing him down, it was the aura of a king forcing his subjects to bow down just by standing there, absolute dominance would be the only way of description.

Just like this, time passed quickly in the blink of an eye as he’s only left with seven days to get the mirror, win the war and clear all the other trails.

Opening his eyes again, his eyeballs had fully turned into an enchanting purple this time as his emerald red hair swayed behind him, his Phoenix sword at his side as it burned with its brightest flames, showing its determination as a savior sword which grows, to accompany its master in conquering the heavens.

The Emperor bat didn’t know why, but as a high grade Martial Emperor, he was actually feeling fear from a middle grade Martial Lord.

In the time Nightin had spent in his own space, the Emperor bat didn’t lack behind as he already destroyed the seventh gate, two more gates and he would step into the strongest Martial Saint possible, something which is a legend in the upper realm he resides in.

Nightin broke out in a smile as he said “Let’s go.”

Striking his sword down on the ground, he expanded the crevice into a bigger size which barely fitted him before jumping in, the Emperor bat followed suit as well as it turned into its human form.

He had long black hair and two sharp fangs, on his forehead was a red symbol which held resemblance to a trident, to his side was a light rapier which glowed with a sharp glint.

After they both landed into the pitch black cave, Nightin circulated his spirit energy to form a ring of fire around him, enabling them to see within the pitch black cave.

On the ground were corpses spread out, skeletons to be exact with some human limbs scattered across the ground, rotting flesh gave off a stench which made both of them closed off their sense of smell.

Both of them were people who had seen the cruelty of this world and this sight wasn’t enough for them to feel disturbed, but they didn’t like the current atmosphere, the whole place was surrounded by an eerie feeling.

Nightin looked at the Emperor bat and asked “Speaking of it senior, how do I address you?”

The Emperor bat drew out his rapier and placed it right beside Nightin’s neck before he could react while saying “Don’t call me senior anymore, I’m just seventeen this year and one year older than you. You can address me as Dark Fang if you wish to, or just Darky will do.”

Nightin sucked in a cold breath of air before saying in a cold voice “You must have encountered something to have progressed this rapidly.”

Dark Fang tried to hide the anxiety which surfaced on his face, but he wasn’t able to hide it from Nightin, but he still said “It isn’t difficult with the high concentration of spirit energy in this cave.”

Nightin smirked before telling him “What if I tell you right now that the spirit energy concentration here is so low that even the top talents wouldn’t be able to cultivate until they reach the Martial King realm, yet take a look at yourself.”

Dark Fang pushed his rapier slightly in more, one more move and Nightin would be dead as he said “It doesn’t have anything to do with you, don’t force my hand right now, I don’t wish to harm you.”

“Hahahaha, Dark Fang, did you really think that I was going to slay you and steal whatever you possess right now?” Nightin broke out in a laughter as he questioned in a casual yet friendly manner which made Dark Fang pause foe a moment, only to realise that he had already been fooled around by his future unexpected master.

Dark Fang drew his rapier back before advancing forward, his back facing Nightin as he said “I may have gained wisdom and cultivated to this height, but this is still far from enough. I’m the last surviving member of the Night Fang bat race, if I truly want to take revenge, I would need to surpass the Martial Saint realm and enter the legendary demigod realm, only then will I have the qualifications to take revenge.”

Nightin kept silent and didn’t interrupt him, he truly knew how Dark Fang felt right now, he was just like him who had thirsted for revenge at the side, only after taking revenge would Dark Fang be able to serve him willingly without any regrets or disobedience.

Furthermore, Nightin knew that the first step to get Dark Fang to serve him, would be to help him get revenge when the day comes, no matter how strong his enemies are, he would be there for with everyone just to assist him.

Nightin drew his sword out and unsheathed it, he had to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances that might arrive, who knows what awaits them deeper into the dark pitch blackness.

Still, what could be the source of this eerie feeling? The two of them advanced forward while making sure to be wary of any situation that might happen all of a sudden.

At this moment, a line of words suddenly formed in front of them.

“Dear challenger, you will forsaken the nine trails and enter the ultimate trails if you enter, are you willing to proceed?”

Below it was a small note *Your life is in your own hands.*

Dark Fang saw this as he flapped his wings and asked “What’s with the line of words there? Just what trail are you undertaking?”

Nightin patiently replied Dark Fang and summed up the situation for him briefly while saying “I’ve made up my mind to enter this so called ultimate trail, would you follow me?”

When Nightin was observing the stars, his army was already eliminated by the enemy and the whole city perished, buy since he entered the ultimate trail, his previous results would be forsaken and thus, they were kept alive.

The soldiers lost all their memory about who Nightin was, they only knew that they had a true General capable of leading them, one day, he would lead to the the highest heights and glory.

There were ten people gathered together, each of them were sitting on a throne facing their whole army of demons.

Behind each of them was a symbol which represented their professions. All of them were at the apex of each profession, the Apex realm.

After the grandmaster realm, professions are known as three further levels, respectively known as the Soul Wandering realm where everything has been engraved within them and with just a single thought, a clone of themselves would be formed beside them to do the task with ninety nine percent proficiency.

After that would be the True Blessed realm where their success rate would increase by ten folds or even more from the Soul Wandering realm, making them even more terrifying than the legendary Demigod realm.

The last realm would be the False Apex realm which they know of, every one of them held the ability to impart their techniques and skills into ten people of their life, granting them with the qualifications to enter the True Blessed realm at least and start off from the Grandmaster realm.

As for why they call it the false apex realm, it’s because they believe that there’s still a wall between them and the true pinnacle, that one barrier was blocking them off from that one stage.
