Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 454: Chapter 453: Exiting the Tower_1

CRACK!

The moment Ling Chen wielded his sword qi, the sculpture of the Invincible Demon Lord in front of him showed cracks before breaking apart, falling into a state of utter disrepair.

”It appears that you’ve inherited the legacy of the Invincible Demon Lord,” Xia Yunxin’s voice came from his side.

”I indeed have gained some insights.”

The corners of Ling Chen’s mouth lifted slightly. He had obtained the Invincible Sword Intent of the Invincible Demon Lord. His Sword Intent Realm had leaped from the Great Accomplishment Peak to the Grandmaster Level. This kind of progression was even more difficult to achieve than improving one’s Cultivation.

”It seems you’ve gained quite a bit as well?”

Ling Chen looked at Xia Yunxin. At this moment, her aura was noticeably stronger than before. Somehow, she also seemed more charming, having become more beautiful and captivating, exuding a natural allure in every move she made.

Even Ling Chen couldn’t help but take a second glance before finally shifting his gaze.

Xia Yunxin’s beauty was certainly among the most exceptional Ling Chen had ever seen. She and Xu Ruoyan were both peerless beauties. Xu Ruoyan was more like a Fairy Maiden, seemingly untouched by the mundane world yet possessing a playful heart. Xia Yunxin, on the other hand, was an unpredictable Demonic Woman. Ling Chen’s initial impression of her was that she was cunning and ruthless. However, after further interaction, his opinion of Xia Yunxin had changed significantly; she wasn’t as bad as he had first thought.

”So, are you considering a change of heart?” Xia Yunxin clearly noticed Ling Chen’s unusual state. She deliberately closed the distance between them and said with a playful smile.

”Not really. I just noticed you’ve changed quite a bit.”

Ling Chen shook his head. He wasn’t the type to easily change his mind just because of someone else’s changes. He had merely revised his opinion about Xia Yunxin, appreciating her a bit, and that was all.

”That is slightly disappointing. I can’t even bewitch an inexperienced young man,” Xia Yunxin said, appearing a bit regretful.

”Let’s go, it’s time to leave.”

Ling Chen’s lips curved slightly. During his time in the Sky Demon Tower, he had slaughtered his way through and stirred up considerable chaos. After leaving, the entire Demon Way, indeed the entire Demon Way, would likely know exactly what kind of figure the Son of the Saintess was.

”Sure.”

Xia Yunxin nodded.

Gathering everyone, Ling Chen activated the mechanism of the tenth floor. In an instant, a group of people was absorbed into a stone door and disappeared without a trace. The next moment, they had already left the Sky Demon Tower and appeared on a high set of stairs.

「Outside, the world was already seething with excitement.」

”It’s been three whole days, and Ling Chen and Xia Yunxin have yet to come out! They must have received a Demon Sovereign’s inheritance, especially the Invincible Demon Lord. Could his legacy have been obtained by that boy, Ling Chen?”

With the passage of time, the Ghost God Honorific’s face grew increasingly grim.

The only people inside the tower who had the chance to inherit the legacy of the Invincible Demon Lord were Xia Yunxin and Ling Chen. However, Xia Yunxin’s path within the Demon Way was different from that of the Invincible Demon Lord, so he would likely not acknowledge her. But with Ling Chen, it was hard to say.

Xie Zhiqiu also had a bad premonition. But then, he sneered, ”Hmph, the Invincible Demon Lord’s legacy isn’t so easily obtained. Perhaps the Invincible Demon Lord has already killed him, and he died inside the Sky Demon Tower.”

”Right, the Invincible Demon Lord is an extremely powerful expert. How could his legacy be easily obtained by a junior?”

”With no activity for so long, hopefully, he’s dead.”

Everyone from the Skypiercing Peak Lineage was cursing Ling Chen to die.

However, the next moment, the entire mountain peak stirred.

The Devil Scroll suddenly trembled and then emitted an incomparably brilliant light, like a star.

On the Devil Scroll, Ling Chen’s two characters were the largest. Although he had zero points, he was firmly in the first position on the rankings, illuminating all directions and suppressing all other names. The dense crowd of names below his, in the face of his brilliance, were like a swarm of fireflies, while he was the blazing sun.

”How is this possible?”

Everyone was taken aback.

”Ling Chen has come out!”

A startled cry rang out as the entrance of the Sky Demon Tower opened, and a figure, bathed in that stunning light, appeared in their line of sight.

”The Sky Demon Trial is over! Ling Chen is still first! He lost all his points, so why? Why can he still reclaim the top spot?” Chu Tiange shouted.

”I understand!” Xie Zhiqiu’s expression suddenly darkened as if he had an instant realization. His gaze turned grave and complex. ”This fellow must have obtained the Invincible Demon Lord’s inheritance! He directly obtained the most supreme item in the Sky Demon Tower! That’s why the Devil Scroll has designated Ling Chen as first in the trial! And an unprecedented first at that!”

”Yes, who could have imagined? Gu Qingcang, Yan Xiang, and Mo Liqing all died at his hands. Xie Zhiqiu and Xun Wujie barely escaped with their lives. Yet, look at his Realm—still Grandmaster Third Realm! This is too terrifying.”

Ling Chen’s appearance immediately caused a monstrous uproar among the countless old figures, numerous demons, and various Demonic Powers on Xuankong Mountain. Everyone witnessed the birth of this young myth.

Entering the Sky Demon Tower at the Grandmaster Third Realm, he not only survived but advanced all the way, defeating all experts to seize the championship. This caused many branches of the Demon Way to suffer devastating losses. Even the Skypiercing Peak Lineage had its prestige trampled, being thoroughly suppressed and dealt a harsh blow in this trial.

”The young master is out! My heart can finally rest easy; a stone has dropped from it,” Elder Beiming said.

”The young master is extraordinary. Did you notice? Although his aura hasn’t changed, his eyes have. I can feel that his Sword Intent is incredibly terrifying. I fear that, in terms of level, it has already surpassed mine,” the Black Swordsman said, gazing intently at Ling Chen.

”What? Surpassed you?” Elder Beiming was astounded. He knew the Black Swordsman’s Slaughter Sword Intent had reached the Grandmaster Level, ranking among the very top in the entire Martial World. How could Ling Chen possibly surpass the Black Swordsman in terms of level?

Only the Black Swordsman understood that Ling Chen’s Sword Intent didn’t just contain one familiar aspect; it had likely reached the frightening second tier.

In the Jianghu, individuals who had reached the second tier of Sword Intent were almost non-existent, let alone someone as young as Ling Chen achieving this Realm.

Truly a peerless Genius Swordsman.

”I can now be certain that the Invincible Demon Lord’s inheritance was indeed obtained by the young master.”

”This is truly gratifying!”

The Dragon Elephant Respect also grinned. He turned to look towards Skypiercing Peak. Over there, everyone was seething with killing intent. Innumerable gazes were fixed on Ling Chen, as if wanting to devour him whole.

”Kill!”

The very moment Ling Chen stepped out of the tower, everyone from the Skypiercing Peak Lineage charged out: Xuanjizi, the Ghost God Honorific, the Black and White Holy Envoy, the Green-faced Demon Sect, the Tiger Demon Sect, the Bull Demon Sect, the Leopard Demon Sect... All the experts from Skypiercing Peak attacked in unison, ferociously lunging at Ling Chen.

Their intent was obvious: they planned to kill Ling Chen on the spot, to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, eradicating this future threat completely!
