CHAPTER 804: CHAPTER 804: DEVOURING

Then, the longsword floated up, its sword body flickering with eerie light.

"Hmm?"

Ling Chen’s expression tightened involuntarily.

This longsword was the Mystic Sword.

The sword is not a Spiritual Weapon.

Inside, it seems to contain a peculiar energy that can counteract the World Power.

However, as his cultivation level increased, facing opponents with increasingly powerful weapons, Ling Chen seldom used it.

The amount of World Power it counteracts is not as significant as the difference in weapon quality.

"Brother, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Ling Chen stop, Ling Wu looked puzzled.

Ling Chen’s thoughts moved, and the Mystic Sword emerged from the internal world.

He didn’t even use fused Spiritual Power to control it.

The Mystic Sword transformed into a streak of light, blasting downward.

"Boom!"

The Mystic Sword bombarded directly into the cliff of a mountain peak.

The mountain rocks immediately shattered into pieces.

Staring at this sudden scene, both Ling Chen and Ling Wu were stunned.

Then, realizing what had happened, they flew toward the Mystic Sword embedded in the mountain.

Soon, Ling Chen saw a cave entrance exposed on the cliff.

Ling Chen grabbed the hilt and pulled the Mystic Sword out.

The Mystic Sword emitted a surge of power, continuing to burrow into the cave.

Ling Chen hurriedly activated Spiritual Power to control the Mystic Sword.

Following the Mystic Sword’s guidance, he broke open the entrance and entered with Ling Wu.

The cave wasn’t deep.

Only about three yards or so.

When they reached the bottom of the cave, they discovered a white light cluster.

They could vaguely see a purple longsword wrapped within the light cluster.

"Could this be an Emperor Weapon?"

Ling Chen’s thoughts stirred.

Such light clusters, Ling Chen had seen quite a few along the way.

It is said that whatever appears in the Void Secret Realm is of an emperor-level grade!

And this longsword should be an Emperor Spirit Weapon!

Excited, Ling Chen reached out with his left hand toward the light cluster.

The white light cluster was instantly seized.

However, Ling Chen was unable to extract the purple longsword within.

Even using Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Telekinesis was of no avail!

"Is it an Emperor Spirit Weapon?"

Ling Wu asked excitedly.

Such things she had never seen.

She hadn’t even encountered many Emperor Realm experts.

Ling Chen forced a smile and said, "I’m not sure!"

Unable to unravel the light cluster, even if it’s a Divine Weapon, it’s useless.

Moreover, Emperor Spirit Weapons are usually usable only by Emperor Realm experts.

He, a mere monarch, couldn’t possibly control it.

Just when Ling Chen was at a loss, the Mystic Sword in his right hand suddenly moved, touching the white light cluster.

Upon contact, the white light cluster melted away like snow.

A three-foot-long purple longsword emerged.

"Whoosh!"

Without the white light cluster’s envelope, the purple longsword flew out of the cave like a bird returning to the forest.

Even Emperor Spiritual Weapons possess some intelligence.

Let alone an Emperor Spirit Weapon!

Ling Chen reached out but caught only air.

A purple streak shot off into the distance.

"Chase!"

Without hesitation, Ling Chen activated the Undying Star body, fully exerting Spiritual Power, and pursued the Emperor Spirit Weapon.

Even if he couldn’t use it now.

He didn’t want the Emperor Spirit Weapon to escape.

The Emperor Spirit Weapon, though powerful, is ultimately just a weapon.

Ling Chen might not be able to refine it, but he should be able to control it.

Envelop it within his internal world, where it can be completely subdued.

No sooner had Ling Chen set off than the Mystic Sword in his hand broke free of his grip, chasing the purple longsword with terrifying speed.

Within a few breaths, the Mystic Sword caught up with the purple longsword.

"What?!"

However, once the Mystic Sword touched the purple longsword.

The purple longsword immediately became incredibly docile.

The Mystic Sword seemed like the king of swords!

Taking advantage of this moment, Ling Chen caught up.

He was just about to collect the two swords.

Yet, the purple longsword began to dissolve and then completely merged into the Mystic Sword.

"This..."

Ling Chen was stunned.

The Mystic Sword actually swallowed the purple longsword?

This purple longsword was an Emperor Spirit Weapon!

What rank was the Mystic Sword?

Probably not even up to the caliber of a top-tier Emperor Spiritual Weapon.

Not only could it locate and control an Emperor Spirit Weapon, but it could also consume one!

This completely overturned Ling Chen’s understanding!

He knew the Mystic Sword was extraordinary.

But not this terrifying!

"Whoosh!"

Moments later, Ling Wu caught up.

Looking at the hovering Mystic Sword, Ling Wu quickly asked, "Where’s the Emperor Spirit Weapon? Did it get away?"

Ling Chen stared at the Mystic Sword.

At this moment, the Mystic Sword was slightly different from before.

The pitch-black sword body now had a faint trace of purple.

The color was very light.

If not looked at carefully, it was hardly noticeable.

"If I say the Emperor Spirit Weapon was devoured by this sword, would you believe it?"

Ling Chen said with a wry smile.

"Devoured the Emperor Spirit Weapon?"

Ling Wu’s beautiful eyes widened.

Her gaze fell on the Mystic Sword, and after a while, she noticed the faint purple trace on it.

"Did it really devour the Emperor Spirit Weapon?"

Ling Wu felt as if she were hearing a fairy tale.

"Buzz!"

The Mystic Sword let out a hum, its tip slightly bobbing as if nodding.

"Can you locate an Emperor Spirit Weapon?"

Ling Chen looked at the Mystic Sword and asked.

"Buzz!"

The Mystic Sword bobbed again.

Witnessing such a human-like scene, Ling Chen could only smile wryly.

Even though an Emperor Spirit Weapon possesses greater intelligence, it still cannot converse with humans.

But this Mystic Sword seemed to understand human speech, which was truly magical.

After some time, the two accepted the reality.

Though Emperor Spirit Weapons are precious, for now, they have no immediate use.

So it didn’t feel too disappointing.

"Right, besides Emperor Spirit Weapons, can you locate other Emperor Spirit Techniques or emperor-grade elixirs?"

Ling Chen asked again.

If the Mystic Sword indeed had such sensory abilities, that would be convenient.

They could rely on the Mystic Sword to find treasures.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Mystic Sword swayed side to side.

Evidently, it could only sense Emperor Spirit Weapons!

"Let’s continue!"

Ling Chen said with some disappointment.

The entire Void Secret Realm is vast.

The area Ling Chen has flown over is less than one percent.

"Buzz!"

The Mystic Sword nodded like a human, then flew into Ling Chen’s sleeve.

With that, Ling Chen and Ling Wu resumed their flight.

This time, they sped up a bit.

Earlier, Ling Chen attempted to use Divine Soul Telekinesis to probe the light cluster surrounding the purple longsword.

He found that it couldn’t be detected at all.

Thus, Ling Chen could only occasionally try probing.

The rest depended genuinely on luck!

In the next few hours, Ling Chen didn’t discover any treasures.

Not even the Mystic Sword sensed an Emperor Spirit Weapon.

Ling Chen wasn’t discouraged.

This was only the beginning.

As time goes on, the treasures within the Void Secret Realm will become more abundant.

Soon, night began to fall.

In the Void Secret Realm, there too is a division of day and night.

With nightfall, the heavens and earth seemed to be draped with a black veil.

A chilling aura spread.

"Woo!"

The night wind began to rise.

Blowing against him, it felt like being sliced by blades.

Even with Spiritual Power as protection.

The wind penetrated it.

Leaving cuts on the skin.

Ling Chen quickly brought Ling Wu into his internal world.

His physical body was so robust, yet couldn’t withstand the night wind.

Let alone Ling Wu.
