Chapter 61: Sharpening the sword
Previously, the sparks scattered on the stone hall by the man in black released the lava fireball were also dissipated by him with a wave.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Senior, please forgive me, but I just happened to be in distress in this mass graveyard, and suddenly three holes appeared, and I escaped here when I was in danger."
"I have guarded this launch pad for tens of thousands of years, but the last thing I want to see has happened, presumably the launch pad of this mass graveyard has been activated, it seems that there is about to be a catastrophe in the cultivation realm of the Dou Phantom Continent! ...”
Next, Ye Qiu also learned about the two-headed lion.
"Boy, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility and use the 10,000-year inheritance of my Heavenly Spirit Clan to quell this disaster?"
"I'm willing to !!" I thought that the 10,000-year inheritance had met me again, and Ye Qiu agreed to anything!
"Okay." Hearing Ye Qiu say this, the phantom of the void light immediately transformed into the appearance of an old man, and said with a slight look of joy at the corner of his mouth.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden surge in the empty stone hall, and endless power gathered together, and in the center of the stone hall, it gathered into a black whirlpool.
"This black vortex is the passage to the inner hall, and when you pass the assessment, you will be able to obtain this 10,000-year inheritance."
Looking at the black whirlpool not far away, Ye Qiu slowly walked over, stood under the black whirlpool, and felt a magnificent power gushing out in the whirlpool.
"Boom!"
Ye Qiu's body soared straight into the sky, easily penetrating the black vortex, and disappearing into the empty stone hall.
After about half a pillar of incense, the black light in front of Ye Qiu's eyes disappeared, and he found himself in an ancient temple, the top of the temple was like a starry sky, dotted with stars, and a large number of ancient totem pictures were carved on the huge temple walls.
In the center of the temple, there is a white staircase with increasing layers, and on the stairs are scattered several white skeletons that have died for an unknown amount of time.
On the side of the stairs, there stood one hundred and eight extremely sharp, more than three meters high stone swords, piercing the sky.
At the top of the stairs stood a humanoid statue wearing golden armor, black combat boots, a sword in one hand, and eyes closed.
Although this statue had no breath, the first time Ye Qiu saw him, he felt a tremor in his heart, as if he was a heaven and earth, just standing there gave people a majestic feeling.
"You're here!"
Just as Ye Qiu was looking at the golden armor statue from a distance, an ancient, rich voice suddenly sounded, the golden armor statue seemed to have life, suddenly opened its eyes, and a powerful force woke up in the statue.
"Senior, are you the guardian of this 10,000-year-old inheritance?" Ye Qiu bowed to the golden armor statue and asked in awe.
"Yes, I am the guardian of the inheritance here, junior, I see that you have passed the sword tablet assessment before, so I am qualified for you to accept this assessment, I hope you will not let me down!" The golden armor statue's star-like eyes flashed with a dazzling light, looking down at Ye Qiu, and asked in a deep voice.
"Sword Tablet Assessment? Could it be that the previous eight sword sculptures were..."Ye Qiu was a little puzzled and muttered to himself.
"Are you ready?" But these words seemed to be a little loud for the golden armor statue to hear, and the appearance of his mother-in-law made him a little disgusted with Ye Qiu.
"Junior, you're ready!" Seeing the situation, Ye Qiu immediately nodded, and said in a firm tone.
"Okay, before accepting the inheritance assessment, you must first pass through this hundred sword ladder and accept the hundred sword ladder assessment, if you can't pass through the hundred sword ladder and see my real body, then you will have the same fate as them, and die here forever."
"Also, the time for you to cross the ladder of the hundred swords is only one hour (two hours), and when the time comes, you will fail the assessment and you will also die." The golden armor statue said without a trace of emotion.
"Junior, can you start?" Ye Qiu has no way out, if he can't pass the inheritance assessment, it is estimated that his heart will collapse, because this is already fat to the mouth.
"It turns out that the bones here... They all came to the assessment and died here... Harm! No matter, let's fight once. Looking at the white skeleton on the road before, Ye Qiu's heart trembled without hesitation, and his heart palpitated.
"Yes, then good luck!" After saying that, the sharp eyes of the golden armor statue lost their brilliance and stopped moving.
"Whew!" Ye Qiu took a deep breath, silently operated the Dragon Scale Divine Gang, raised his physical strength to 400,000 jin of strength, and stepped onto the first layer of the white jade ladder.
The next moment, he felt endless sword momentum pouring out of one hundred and eight stone swords, enveloping the entire void, and the terrifying sword momentum was like ten thousand swords piercing through his heart, breaking into his body, making him feel like he was going to be broken.
But after only three breaths, Ye Qiu, whose face was pale and did not have a trace of blood, took the second step against the terrifying sword momentum and stepped up the second ladder.
"It seems that this time, I finally didn't look away, this young man really has a resolute and unyielding heart, and three breaths dispelled the fear of ten thousand swords piercing his heart, and he is indeed a lot stronger than the previous people."
Just as Ye Qiu was climbing the Hundred Swords Ladder, the previous Void Light Old Man and the Golden Armor Statue were floating in mid-air, and their eyes as deep as the sea revealed a look of anticipation.
"Lord Iba, do you think he has a chance to pass the Inner Sanctum assessment and become a member of my Heavenly Spirit Clan's inheritance?" The Void Light Old Man asked in a respectful tone.
"If he wants to pass the inheritance assessment, it is not enough to have a resolute and unyielding heart, he also needs to have superhuman talent, absolute strength, amazing understanding and atmospheric luck, otherwise he will not be able to pass the assessment at all and become a person of my Heavenly Spirit Clan's inheritance!"
"Let's wait until he passes the Hundred Swords Ladder assessment! This world is about to end the world, since he is said to be the son of prophecy, then try to see if he has this strength. The Golden Armor Statue said slowly.
Just as the Void Light Old Man was talking to the Golden Armor Statue, a shocking sword light shot out from the first stone sword, carrying an astonishing sword momentum, and slashed towards Ye Qiu, who stepped on the second layer of the white jade staircase.
"The seven-star sword is the fifth, broken."
Suddenly attacked by the world-shattering sword, Ye Qiu's body immediately erupted with a five-fold sword momentum, converging into a shocking lightsaber and slashing up.
The two great sword forces bombarded together, and suddenly set off a monstrous wave, fluctuating the surrounding air and tumbling violently.
Ye Qiu unleashed the seven-star sword momentum, and after the condensed lightsaber resisted two breaths, it was shattered by the sword light gushing out of the stone sword, and a sword light like lightning shot through Ye Qiu's body.
"Poof!"
A blood hole appeared in Ye Qiu's chest, and a large amount of blood flowed out uncontrollably, staining his clothes red.
"Sure enough, the sword light condensed by this hundred sword ladder is not something I can resist."
With a hole in his chest, Ye Qiu hurriedly took out a high-grade spirit stone from the spirit stone pendant to stabilize his body injuries and repair his physical injuries.
Fortunately, the Seven Star Sword Momentum was able to weaken the sword power of most of the stone swords by breaking through the fifth realm before, and with the surging spiritual power contained in the high-grade spirit stone, the recovery ability of the physical body became very powerful, and in just ten breaths, he stabilized his body injuries and stepped onto the third ladder.
"Judging from the current situation, with such a strong physical recovery power, he has a chance to pass the Hundred Swords Ladder!" The Void Light Old Man saw that Ye Qiu's chest injury was recovering at an astonishing speed, and his eyes as deep as the sea burst out with Dao Essence Light.
"Buzz!"
Stepping onto the third layer of the white jade staircase, Ye Qiu was attacked by a terrifying sword again, the light saber condensed by the Seven Star Sword was shattered, and a blood hole was pierced in his chest again.
After another heavy blow to his body, Ye Qiu did not stop, endured the huge pain in his chest, and stepped onto the fourth staircase with a resolute gaze.
His body was constantly attacked by the sword momentum gushing out of the stone sword, Ye Qiu's body was getting more and more seriously injured, and the blood flowing from his body had already stained his clothes red.
However, Ye Qiu did not stop, took out the Spirit Devouring Sword from Na Jie, released two major sword momentum to weaken the stone sword sword attack, and endured the pain of the sword piercing his body, and climbed the eighth layer of stairs step by step before finally stopping.
Silently closing his eyes, while absorbing the spiritual power contained in the high-grade spirit stone, quickly recovering from his body injuries, while recalling the previous stone sword sword momentum in his mind, deepening his comprehension of the sword momentum.
Ye Qiu had a feeling that if his comprehension of the sword momentum was taken to the next level and he cultivated the Seven Star Light Sword to the sixth level, he would be able to resist the attack of the stone sword momentum, pass through the Hundred Sword Staircase, and arrive at the Golden Armor Statue.
Time passed minute by minute, and in his anti-heaven understanding, he deduced the sword momentum of the stone sword over and over again, Ye Qiu's comprehension of the sword momentum became deeper and deeper, and time was lost for nearly half an hour.
"What's wrong with him, why doesn't he move, has he forgotten that there is a time limit for breaking through the Hundred Swords Ladder, and when the time comes, he will be killed by the Hundred Swords Ladder." The old man looked at Ye Qiu, who was motionless, and said with a slight anxiety.
"He seems to be comprehending the sword momentum." The golden armor statue said with a twinkle in his eyes: "But in such a short period of time, it is difficult to take the sword to the next level. ”
When most of the time was lost, Ye Qiu in the enlightenment finally woke up in an epiphany, and two sharp sword rays burst out in his open eyes.
"I don't know that with my current comprehension of sword momentum, I can climb several steps in one breath." Ye Qiu knew that there was not much time left for him, so he exerted the five-fold seven-star sword momentum to the extreme and stepped onto the ninth layer of the ladder.
"Boom!"
The two great sword forces bombarded together, and one after another winding cracks appeared, and the two sword forces exchanged five breaths, and they shattered at the same time, turning into a large number of sword light fragments.
A very small number of sword light fragments submerged into Ye Qiu's body, injuring him physically.
However, compared to the injuries of the sword light fragments in his body, the injuries of the sword light fragments were almost negligible, and Ye Qiu carried the powerful five-fold seven-star sword momentum and stepped onto the tenth layer of stairs.
"Huh? His sword momentum doesn't seem to be the same as before! ”
Feeling that the power of Ye Qiu's release of the Seven Stars Sword was gradually increasing, the face of the Golden Armor Statue Gu Jing Wubo finally revealed a hint of discoloration, and he found that Ye Qiu was far more terrifying than he imagined.
