Legendary Sword God Sect - Chapter 71

All of them stood up and looked at the demons who have been tamed by them and summoned them back into their Void Ring which they have formed within them.

As a False Apex profession, the rarity of the materials and treasures needed would be to much in amount and their energy would be too much for even the highest grade spatial rings to hold. But with the addition of the void ring within their body, all of these resources could be contained without even leaking off the slightest amount of energy.

The void ring is a mysterious object, which a False Apex profession master would have to form, before being able to be considered as a False Apex master.

The Forgist Overlord took out a card from his sleeve while saying “If I remember correctly, I still own the golden card which y’all gave to me a thousand years ago.”

All the faces of the Overlords changed while the Soul Oracle Overlord slammed down on his throne, stood up and shouted towards the Forgist Overlord “You still have the cheek to mention that? You cheated by stealing it from me while I was showering!”

The Overlords all looked at each other before they turned to look at the Forgist Overlord who didn’t panic, but held his ground and said “Why didn’t you stop me then? Also, please back up what you just said with evidence of it’ll just be you framing me for you own carelessness.”

“You son of a bitch!” The Soul Oracle Overlord lost control of herself and was about to summon out spirits to attack the Forgist Overlord, only to freeze her current actions after what the Beast Summoner Overlord said “His mother is your mother.”

That’s right, all nine of them were blood related siblings and were all descendants of the only True Apex master in this entire cultivation universe, out of the ten overlord realms, nine were under their control while the strongest one was under their parents.

The Heaven Shattering Overlord and the Peacock Fairy Overlord, though their titles may all be known as Overlords, they were weak in their parents eyes. Their parents were already at a peak so high that, with just one more strike, they would step into the God realm and become the rulers and controller of this entire universe.

After a long discussion and some time pacifying their little sister, the Overlords finally agreed and decided to let the Forgist Overlord be the first examiner for Nightin.

The Forgist Overlord left and headed towards the first examination area while thinking to himself, what would be the best difficulty level for the challenger.

At the age of six, he was interested in blacksmithing, at the age of nine where he awakened his spirit energy, he was captivated by the enchanting beauty or a Forgist product and couldn’t pull himself back out. At the age of twelve, he had already stepped into the realms of a Grandmaster and at the day he turned three thousand years old, he was at the False Apex realm which others could never hope to step into.

He was a talent which would leave his name carved in history and no one would ever be able to shake his current position as the Forgist Overlord, many people may not know about him, but those who know of him all shudder in fear when faced against him, all of them were top Overlord experts and he was well known for his combat strength.

Back in the eerie walkway, Nightin was walking ahead without any fear as Dark Fang followed behind closely his back, both of them made sure to kept silent as they held their auras back in, preventing even the slightest amount of spirit energy from leaking out.

The Forgist Overlord sat down on his throne within the first chamber as he laughed “That isn’t enough to stop me from observing you two though.”

As a Overlord, wouldn’t it be disgraceful if two mere cultivators below the Demigod realm are able to hide from his detection? With just his spiritual sense, he created a visual image and could see exactly what the two of them were doing.

Nightin continued to advanced forward for a few hundred more metres carefully before coming to a halt. There were traps just directly ahead, beneath the ground. The were small holes ok the ground which he only managed to see with his Samsara eyes, even Dark Fang wasn’t able to see it with his night vision.

Dark Fang stopped behind Nightin and asked “Young fella, what’s the matter right now? Why did you stop all of a sudden?”

Nightin didn’t reply, bur continued to scan the trap in front of him. It was one of the most basic creations a Forgist can do, even a first tier Forgist would be able to set it up, it was a trap meant for the weaker Martial apprentices, yet the danger level it gives off right now rivals that of a seventh grade trap meant for killing even Martial Saints.

The weakness about this spike trap is that there’s a certain time delay to them, but it was actually made an advantage this time round, if he tries to avoid the appearance timing, he would be cornered and stabbed to death.

Nightin turned around and asked Dark Fang “Dark Fang, do you have any trap baits with you right now?”

Dark Fang nodded and took out a small rat from his spatial ring before throwing it forward into the darkness.

Splat

Hundreds of thin spikes rose from the ground as tens of them penetrated the rat before blazing with fire, burning the rat into nothing, even its ashes or carcass didn’t remain behind.

“New side quest has been updated: Make it out of the trap alive, rewards would be given out according to rate of accomplishment, reward would be related to wisdom.”

[Quest Log]

[Quest 1: Obtain the mirror]

[Quest 2(side) : Make it out of the trap alive]

Dark Fang took a step back subsconciously as he asked Nightin “Young fella, do you know about such traps?”

“I do, but this trap is much above the original version, if we were to make a mistake, death would be awaiting us.” Nightin replied as he sat down on the ground and entered the state of thinking, he trusted Dark Fang that he wouldn’t harm him.

Based on his previous estimation, the spikes are currently divided into four areas, each rising whenever he passes a certain checkpoint, some of the spikes has even been designed to curve towards the target.

If he really wants to walk through this trap, there was only one viable method, to bait the traps onto activating before finding the core of that section. This type of trap has one major weakness, the core area of the traps can’t activate any traps of it would fail.

Standing up, Nightin explained to Dark Fang his plan as they discussed about the proper timing and small details.

Soon after, they arrived at a final plan as they got into position.

Swoosh

Nightin and Dark Fang dashed forward as quickly as possible, they needed to bring out their fastest speed and stick side to side with each other.

Zling Zling

Zling Zling

Many sharp spikes rose up from the ground and some even started to curve in on them, right at this moment, Dark Fang used his clone law and transported both of them back to the start, swapping places with the initial clone as they got pierced and vanished as energy.

After the spikes went down, the two of them made a dash forward again, this time advancing to the core area without facing any danger, the spikes weren’t able to spike up continuously, that was its second fatal weakness.

Back in the first chamber, the Forgist Overlord slapped his thighs as he broke out in a laughter and asked his son beside him “Issac, what do you think about that?”

His son Issac bowed down and replied politely “Father, I don’t think that it’s that great of an acheivement, if he was smart enough, he could have just wasted a few hundred trap baits from his partner beside him or some other resources to advance forward, that would be foolproof and faster.”

“Issac, what would you do if you didn’t have any trap baits at that point of time?” The Forgist Overlord asked another question which left Issac speechless, he wasn’t able to answer the simple open ended question.

The Forgist continued “It may have seem like a foolish and risky method, but all it took him was one trap bait. Even if I upgraded these spike traps to ignore trap baits, he would still be able to make it through alive. Furthermore, he has to do with the pressure building up every second there with the hands of death on his neck, do you think that’s simple.”

Issac closed his eyes for a few moments before saying “He has proven himself to have higher talent than me, that willpower and mentality to stay calm in such a situation, it isn’t something I can do.”

At this point, a sharp glint flashed past Issac’s eyes…
