Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 834 - 833: Law
The azure Treasure Sword is slanted at the top of the Life and Death Tower, seemingly connecting heaven and earth. The three-foot-long blue blade, with complex carvings on the hilt, draws one deeply in.
Pressure!
A terrifying pressure!
As soon as Chu Ming got within three meters of the Human Dao Sword, he felt a horrifying pressure, like a dormant beast, making his heart tremble.
"This...is the Human Dao Sword?"
A hint of fervor flashed in Chu Ming's eyes. The grade of the Human Dao Sword is definitely above the Azure Sky Sword.
The Azure Sky Sword is a Top Tier Celestial Level Treasure Sword, which means the Human Dao Sword is at least an Emperor's Dao Artifact. As for being a Sacred Dao Artifact, Chu Ming dared not imagine.
"Finally, seeing an old friend again..."
The remnant soul of the Ancient Sword Emperor floated out from Chu Ming's body, hovering in mid-air, quietly gazing at the Human Dao Sword, with a complex look in his eyes.
For a swordsman, a sword is like a woman to a man.
A sword lives as its master lives, a sword dies as its master dies. It is not just empty words.
Furthermore, in the Ancient Era, the Human Dao Sword accompanied the Ancient Sword Emperor in battles, fighting demons for countless years. It is impossible to say their bond wasn't deep.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The space within three meters of the Human Dao Sword was incomparably thick, as if filled with flowing water. Every step Chu Ming advanced caused space to tremble.
Finally, Chu Ming arrived in front of the Human Dao Sword, overwhelmed by an ancient aura as he felt a momentum.
A sword momentum!
An absolutely powerful sword momentum!
"Hoo!"
Chu Ming took a deep breath and then slowly raised his right hand toward the Human Dao Sword.
Closer!
Even closer!
Buzz!
Finally, Chu Ming's right hand rested on the hilt of the Human Dao Sword, a chill rushed from the sword straight to Chu Ming's forehead, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Boom!
A boom echoed in Chu Ming's mind, and in an instant, his vision went black, plunging into chaos.
All around was darkness—no light, no people, only pitch-black air.
"A-choo, someone else is here to take the test? I remember the last person to take it was three hundred years ago!"
A girl's young voice rang out from the darkness, then starlight rose around—it was a starry sky, resplendent with countless stars.
But at this moment, Chu Ming had no time to admire it.
"Who are you?"
Chu Ming's Spiritual Sense swept around, but to his disappointment, it was suppressed to its lowest point here, only covering a range of three meters around him.
"Who am I? Hmm, after tens of thousands of years, I've forgotten who I am. But you can call me Xiao Ai, I am the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Brilliance Sword!"
The young girl's voice rang out again, introducing herself.
"The Divine Brilliance Sword should be the Human Dao Sword. Indeed, the grade of the Human Dao Sword far exceeds Celestial Level."
Chu Ming thought to himself, knowing that the Azure Sky Sword hadn't developed an Artifact Spirit. To develop an Artifact Spirit, only an Emperor's Dao Artifact could do so.
However, the basic life form born from an Emperor's Dao Artifact should be far from comparable to Xiao Ai now.
"I know you want to control the Divine Brilliance Sword, but I advise you not to waste your effort. The entire Celestial Martial Continent is terribly barren, producing very few prodigies, and even fewer have gained my recognition. The most recent was tens of thousands of years ago, a little guy named Zong Yuanxuan!"
Xiao Ai commented dismissively.
Chu Ming's mouth twitched slightly—Zong Yuanxuan was the name of the Ancient Sword Emperor. Though revered by everyone as a hero and predecessor, here with Xiao Ai, he became a little guy, amusing in retrospect.
But that too was normal; Xiao Ai, as the Divine Brilliance Sword's Artifact Spirit, had lived for countless years, making the Ancient Sword Emperor indeed a junior before him.
"This junior wishes to try!"
Chu Ming respectfully said, not considering his own talent inferior to the Ancient Sword Emperor's, and moreover, he had the help of the White Light Plate. Even now, he didn't know the level of this treasure, but it surely surpassed the Emperor Level.
"Since you wish to try, do as you please!"
Xiao Ai said faintly, and as the words fell, the entire starry environment underwent a major shift.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Star patterns scattered around, like countless meteors flashing across the sky, dizzying. Chu Ming focused on the sky, trying to discern some patterns, but found it fruitless in the end.
Boom!
After a while, the whole starry sky stopped changing. In front of Chu Ming was a grandly mysterious pattern, with meteors turning to raindrops, drizzling down from the sky, adding a few hazy hints to the starry sky.
"Your challenge is to comprehend a First Level Law within two years!"
Xiao Ai paused for a moment, then said faintly.
"Within two years? Comprehend a Law?"
Even with Chu Ming's Mental Realm, he couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.
Laws!
Laws, such as Secret Techniques, are a hundred times more profound, being a method of attack understood by Emperor Dao experts.
Even a First Level Law is millions of times stronger than any Secret Technique.
"Don't worry, the time here has a ratio of ten to one with the outside world, meaning that two years here is only over seventy days outside!"
"I advise you to quickly observe the fine rain pattern in front of you, understand the Law fast, or you'll have no chance of mastering the Divine Brilliance Sword!"
Xiao Ai's voice echoed again in Chu Ming's ears.
"Fine rain pattern?"
Chu Ming found a place to sit cross-legged, his eyes quietly gazing at the starry sky, noticing its gentle changes.
Drip, drip, drip...
The starlight in the sky moved, like countless fine raindrops falling from above. Chu Ming could even hear the sound of raindrops falling.
Laws!
Laws!
This was a wondrous mood, impossible to escape from.
Boom!
...
"I hope the Sword Emperor can pass the test. We don't have much time left!"
Watching Chu Ming hovering in mid-air, the Emperor of Creation silently thought, a hint of worry flashing through his eyes.
Swish!
The Emperor of Creation left an avatar to guard in the Life and Death Tower, while the true body turned into a stream of light, returning to the Black Iron Fortress, which must be guarded.
Outside the Celestial Martial Continent, in the starry sky, numerous menacing demons swarmed from the Restricted Area like locusts, approaching the Black Iron Fortress.
Leading these demons was a tall, lean figure, emitting monstrous waves, tearing through countless starlights.
Demon Emperor!
Behind the Demon Emperor were the Black Demon Nether King, the White Stone Demoness, and other four War Generals, exuding terrifying Demonic Qi, obscuring the sky.
Further back were hundreds of dense Demon Kings.
