Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 322: Chapter 320: Ice Soul Profound Blade

As time passed.

More and more lords gathered near the sword tomb.

From the original dozens, it grew to hundreds, even with a faint tendency to break a thousand.

Lords from various realms and races were all gathered around the sword tomb, whispering to each other.

Yet no one dared to approach the sword tomb, each waiting for someone to take the lead, afraid of any hidden danger inside.

“A bunch of cowards, let me go first!”

Finally.

A fierce man stepped out of the crowd.

Leading a team of humanoid sword and shield warriors and archers, he directly walked into the sword tomb area, instantly attracting the attention of all the lords.

“Seems like it’s Wu Yong from the War Venerable Realm, didn’t expect even him to come.”

“I heard during the last Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, he alone slew over twenty Tier Eight Lords, quite a formidable power.”

“In this battlefield, probably only those few freaks in the top ten can suppress him, right?”

“Now we’ll see some good drama.”

The lords were discussing lively, staring intently at Wu Yong’s retreating figure.

In this sword tomb, it was clear incredible treasures were hidden.

And treasures often come with danger.

Someone who can pave the way for them is naturally most suited.

Even Lin You, standing alone in the corner, couldn’t help but be drawn by Wu Yong’s actions, curiously observing.

However, what no one expected was.

When Wu Yong stepped into the sword tomb with his species, the expected danger or change didn’t occur.

Instead, the giant sword at the top of the platform suddenly erupted with a dazzling white light, instantly illuminating the entire sword tomb.

The next second.

The white light transformed into countless sharp sword qi that shot out rapidly, like ten thousand swords returning to their origin, swirling around the giant sword in mid-air.

Some of the sword qi even faintly emitted intense bloodlust and killing intent.

Forcing the lords to retreat several steps, with faces full of alarm.

Meanwhile.

Several prompts echoed in their minds.

[Battlefield relic “Tomb of the Fallen Swords” activated.]

[This relic is the resting place of warrior heroic spirits transformed from battle intent after death.]

[Only by passing the test and climbing to the highest level, earning the recognition of the Sword of the Dead, can one obtain battlefield treasures, and rewards of equipment-type rare species.]

…

Battlefield treasure!

And rare species!

All the lords were astonished, their eyes widening.

Rare species are one thing, but they turned out to be extremely scarce equipment-type species!

This is definitely one of the rarest and most powerful auxiliary species among all species.

For example, Lin You’s Symbiotic Moss and Thorn Shield Profound Turtle both belong to equipment-type species.

He even saw the Possession Armor used by the Minotaur in a large secret realm, which is also this type of species.

Although they can’t mutate into a more formidable existence like Symbiotic Moss.

The enhancement of power is extremely significant.

After all, no matter how powerful two Tier Eight Species are, they can’t possibly match the peak species formed by two Tier Eight fused together.

That’s the difference in quality.

It shows how powerful the auxiliary abilities of equipment-type species are, even Lin You couldn’t help but be tempted.

And just as everyone was discussing and exclaiming.

Wu Yong in the sword tomb had already arrived at the bottom platform in one direction.

The platform was not large, but nearly a hundred meters in size.

As soon as Wu Yong stepped onto it, a light suddenly illuminated the platform, and the species around him vanished, leaving only him on the scene.

And in the center of the field, the rusted two-handed greatsword stuck in the ground.

“What’s going on? Can’t summon species on top?”

“Seems like it, just don’t know what the test mentioned earlier is.”

“Probably not simple, otherwise the rewards wouldn’t be so generous.”

“Look! Wu Yong is heading towards that sword!”

Suddenly, a gasp of surprise echoed among the crowd.

Everyone turned to the platform, and indeed saw Wu Yong approaching the center, and forcefully pulling up the two-handed greatsword.

Rumble!

Wu Yong’s platform shook.

The sword in his hand suddenly flew out, gradually condensing into a phantom humanoid across from him, gripping the greatsword firmly, standing arrogantly.

[Name: Warrior Heroic Spirit (Leader)]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: Tier Eight]

[Power: 2500]

[Constitution: 2400]

[Agility: 2200]

[Spirit: 2400]

[Skills: Thrust, Heavy Slash, Round Dance Slash]

[Introduction: Heroic spirit transformed from battle intent, influenced by combat awareness before death, resting in Tomb of the Fallen Swords, yearning for a battle.]

The attributes aren’t high.

Just equivalent to an ordinary Leader Demon not infected by chaos.

“I understand! You must defeat incarnations of those weapon users to ascend higher!”

Quickly, someone in the surrounding teams saw through the sword artifacts and platform’s path, shouting out.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Since the sword tomb was transformed from war intent after warriors died.

To earn their recognition, naturally, one must surpass them in battle.

And it has to be one-on-one, winning honorably without the help of species.

As if to respond to their speculation.

Wu Yong on the platform had already pulled out a set of sword and shield equipment, clashing with the sword-wielding warrior heroic spirit.

For a moment.

Blade shadows and sword flashes filled the platform, clashing continuously.

In just a dozen breaths, the two exchanged dozens of moves, accompanied by Wu Yong’s shouts and assaults.

It was clear.

The warrior heroic spirit clearly had a strong battlefield presence, and extremely powerful combat consciousness.

With ease, he deflected Wu Yong’s fierce attack with his greatsword.

“Die, you bastard!”

Finally.

Wu Yong grew impatient from the fight.

With a shout, the half-human-tall shield in his hand swung in a semicircle before him, clashing against the warrior heroic spirit’s greatsword, sending it flying away, crashing into the barrier at the edge of the platform.

Clang—

The warrior heroic spirit dissipated, and the two-handed greatsword fell to the ground, producing a crisp sound.

Then, as if an invisible force enveloped the two-handed greatsword, it was placed back into its original position.

An ordinary leader demon’s strength is still far inferior to that of a veteran lord blessed with an aura.

Having won the battle, Wu Yong successfully ascended to the second platform.

Like the previous platform, a damaged sleeve sword was embedded on the second platform, appearing much weaker in momentum compared to the two-handed greatsword.

But when Wu Yong approached and pulled it out, and the platform once again conjured a warrior heroic spirit, the thoughts of those below changed.

[Name: Warrior Heroic Spirit (Leader)]

[Race: Undead]

[Level: Tier Eight (F-level)]

[Power: 2400 (+480)]

[Constitution: 2200 (+440)]

[Agility: 2500 (+500)]

[Spirit: 2400 (+480)]

[Skills: Stealth, Shadow Strike, Assassination]

[Chaos: All attributes increased by 20%]

[Introduction: A heroic spirit formed by battle intent, influenced by the combat consciousness from life, slumbers in the Tomb of the Fallen Swords, eager for a fight.]

…

“Chaos level has increased!”

“Could it be that the higher up the platforms go, the higher the chaos level?”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the topmost level be SSS-level?!”

“This…”

The discussions erupted, causing a stir around the Sword Tomb.

Lin You stood in the corner, a trace of surprise in his eyes as well.

No wonder there are a total of ten platforms.

That equates to progressing from ordinary demons to SSS-level demons across these ten levels.

It means

they have to clear all the levels and defeat the SSS-level leader demon at the top without the help of species, to claim the final relic reward.

This challenge is not ordinary at all.

Especially for him.

After all, he just leveled up to Tier Eight, his basic strength is about comparable to species of the same level.

While those veteran lords who have been at Tier Eight for years have at least 25,000 Power of Faith, they have been significantly enhanced physically.

By ratio, they increase by 50% compared to a newly upgraded lord, and some might even go higher.

Plus with territory aura blessings, they may not reach the level of an SSS-level leader, but they’re not far off.

One doesn’t know if the relic reward is unique.

If it is, he has to hurry up.

“Luckily, I have foresight.”

Lin You murmured to himself, pulling out from his personal space a blue great saber covered in ice cones on its back.

He had asked Shifang Pavilion for some tier-nine ice element materials earlier, and then gave them to the dwarf race to forge this weapon.

[Equipment Name: Ice Soul Profound Blade – Frost]

[Equipment Level: Tier Nine]

[Trait 1: Attacks carry ice attribute and each strike adds a layer of frost effect, reducing speed by 1% for 10 seconds.]

[Trait 2: When frost effect reaches 10 layers, triggers a freeze effect, immobilizing the enemy for 1 second, consuming all layers.]

[Enchantment: Attribute attack boost by 5%]

[Introduction: A premium ice element weapon, crafted by the dwarf race.]

Its effect naturally can’t compare to tier-ten equipment.

But compared to ordinary tier-nine equipment, it has an extra trait, making it quite an incredible piece of gear.

However, Lin You was only after its ice attribute.

With this, his tier-ten ice element necklace can also stay inconspicuous.

Even if he uses the Power of Rule to activate skills, it can make others think the trait is attached to his weapon, making it perfect.

And this ice element great saber pairs well with his ice element necklace, reducing speed by 22% at full state, and even a triggerable freeze effect.

Although just 1 second, in crucial moments, it might have unexpected effects.

“Let’s go, we should head over, too.”

With the great saber on his back, Lin You led his species towards the bottom of the Sword Tomb.

Meanwhile, upon understanding the rules of the Sword Tomb, other lords rushed forward, competing to climb those platforms.

“Get out of my way! Let me go first!”

“I was clearly here first, want to die?”

“Haha, you guys take your time, I’m going up first.”

…

The platform steps below the Sword Tomb had only five directions.

In other words, only five people could challenge at the same time.

Others had to wait until the challengers were defeated or gave up before they could ascend.

This led to a frenzy among the lords, all wanting to be the first to challenge.

Some even broke into fights outside the platform, soon plunging into chaos.

Little did they expect.

Suddenly, a thunderous boom came from the platform above.

Wu Yong, who had reached the second to last platform, was blown away by an elegant figure wielding a long sword, spewing out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Bang!

Wu Yong slammed hard against the platform’s barrier, his face filled with unwillingness.

But seeing the figure with the sword swiftly rushing towards him, he had no choice but to abandon the challenge, disappearing from the platform in a flash.

The elegant figure then dissipated as well, the long sword reset firmly in the platform’s center, as if it had never appeared.

Silence.

The surroundings of the Sword Tomb went silent instantly.

The so-powerful Wu Yong, was he really defeated?

He didn’t even reach the final layer!
