Chapter 1055 - 162: Life-saving Jade Given by Huang Su (2)

Otherwise, Huang Yi would definitely have sent a more Advanced Magical Treasure.

That night.

In the room.

As his Soul Power mark branded itself onto the Spirit Brilliance Sword, Chen Mo's Primordial Spirit established a connection with the Spirit Brilliance Sword.

With a single thought, vast and mighty Spiritual Power surged out of his body in rolling waves. At the same time, all the Spiritual Qi in the entire room was drawn over by him, transformed under his control into pure Spiritual Power, which, together with the Spiritual Power surging out from within him, condensed behind him into long swords flickering with a faint light.

Half a刻 later, the number of long swords behind Chen Mo reached 888.

[Power: 310669+149999.]

Sweat rolled down Chen Mo's forehead. Although his Circulation Sword Array had already Cultivated 3079 Spirit Swords…

That was something cultivated with the system's help. In reality, if it was used for battle, the Spiritual Power in his body only allowed him to condense 888 Spirit Swords.

This Divine Power was indeed powerful, but the charge-up time was far too long.

888 Spirit Swords required half a刻 of time.

And in that span, it would be enough for him to die several times over.

Unless he condensed them in advance before the fight.

"Come out!"

Chen Mo ran a large hand over the Qiankun Bracelet at his wrist. Eighteen Wind Shadow Swords turned into a streak of flowing light and shot out, then, under the control of his thoughts, merged into the Circulation Sword Array.

[Power: 310669+388999.]

"Looks like what Huang Su said was right. When these eighteen Wind Shadow Swords are combined, they can indeed unleash the power of an Earth-level Lower Grade Magical Treasure."

Chen Mo let out a breath. "If I add the Spirit Brilliance Sword on top of that…"

He summoned out the newly refined Spirit Brilliance Sword from his body and merged it into the Circulation Sword Array.

With the Spirit Brilliance Sword joining in, the eighteen Wind Shadow Swords let out a rapid, trembling hum, rejecting the Spirit Brilliance Sword.

The eighteen Wind Shadow Swords were all Human-level Top Grade Magical Treasures, far stronger than those 888 Spirit Swords. Once they entered the Circulation Sword Array, they immediately occupied the dominant position.

But now, the addition of the Spirit Brilliance Sword made them feel threatened.

Under the exclusion of the eighteen Wind Shadow Swords, even those 888 Spirit Swords were affected.

"All of you behave."

Chen Mo's Primordial Spirit stirred, suppressing the eighteen Wind Shadow Swords. The Spirit Brilliance Sword replaced them and became the main sword of the Circulation Sword Array.

[Power: 310669+599999.]

"They can actually stack!"

Sensing the change in Power, Chen Mo was greatly shocked. Didn't this mean that, just in terms of raw Power, he could shake even Spirit Wheel Realm Perfection?

A look of delight appeared on Chen Mo's face. This greatly increased his chances of survival in the Ancient Ruins.

"Dong, dong…"

Right at this moment, the door was knocked.

With a thought from Chen Mo, the 888 Spirit Swords vanished, the eighteen Wind Shadow Swords flew back into the Qiankun Bracelet, and the Spirit Brilliance Sword was withdrawn into his sea of consciousness.

As soon as the Spirit Brilliance Sword entered his sea of consciousness, it flew toward the place where Soul Power was the densest, but was immediately intimidated by the "Blood God Seal" entrenched there and obediently moved aside.

Chen Mo did not notice the change within his sea of consciousness. The moment he dispersed the Circulation Sword Array, he spoke toward the outside of the room: "Who is it?"

"Me."

Chen Mo was stunned; he recognized that the voice belonged to Huang Su.

He went to the door and opened it, only to find that it was indeed Huang Su.

"Why did you come?"

Chen Mo was surprised. This late at night, what was a woman doing coming to his room?

Huang Su was dressed in a moon-white dress. Without waiting for Chen Mo's permission, she swept past him straight into the room. Then she turned around; the Simurgh embroidered on her dress with Silver Thread surged like waves as she turned, as if the Milky Way's shattered snow had poured over her shoulders.

The inn where Chen Mo was staying was a place of constant coming and going. He did not want anyone to find out that Huang Su had come to his room so late, so he hurriedly closed the door and looked at her in confusion.

"Have you really thought this through?" Huang Su's clear eyes swept over Chen Mo, then finally rested on his eyes.

"What?" Chen Mo was baffled by her unprompted question.

"The Barrier will open tomorrow. If you regret it now, it's still not too late," Huang Su said.

"So you came to persuade me."

"You can think of it that way for the time being. Your strength is too weak, and Feng Ning is carrying a clan mission. At the critical moment, he won't care about you. The Thirteenth Princess and the others you allied with are the same."

There was no contempt in her voice, only a statement of fact.

"Since I've come, I never planned to have anyone care for me or protect me." Under those cool eyes, Chen Mo spoke calmly.

"If you're entering the Ancient Ruins, it's to gain Elder Huang Yi's goodwill and attention. I advise you to give up that idea now. It's useless. You don't need to throw your life away for this," Huang Su shifted her gaze away from Chen Mo and turned around. In her eyes, there was a faint ripple.

"..."

Chen Mo's heart inexplicably tightened, as if Huang Su had hit upon the thought hidden in his heart that he didn't want to admit. He felt a bit guilty—or perhaps it was some strange chord in his heart being plucked.

Who doesn't have some unrealistic thoughts in their heart?

He said, "If you came here just to say that, then you can go back."

"You insist on being this stubborn?"

Huang Su turned back again. Looking at this young man whose eyes held boundless obstinacy yet seemed so calm, she felt an inexplicable anger, as if she couldn't understand where his confidence and courage came from.

Chen Mo also stared at Huang Su and said, "If you specially came to persuade me because I saved you, then I want to say, there's absolutely no need. That matter is already over, you've already repaid it. You can, with a clear conscience, treat me as a stranger."

Hearing this, Huang Su suddenly felt a surge of impulse in her blood to curse him out.

But reason stopped her; she felt that doing so would cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

She sighed, then formed a hand seal with one hand. A white circular Auspicious Beast Jade Pendant appeared in her palm. She handed it toward Chen Mo and said, "This jade can block one fatal attack. After you enter the Ancient Ruins, you can use it to save your life."

Chen Mo was stunned. He did not reach out to take it, but instead looked at Huang Su in confusion.

"Take it. After this, everything between us is completely settled. From now on, no matter what you do, I won't concern myself with it again," Huang Su said coolly.

"There's really no need for this. This matter…"

However, before Chen Mo could finish, Huang Su placed the jade on the table and left.

Not long after Huang Su left.

Huang Yi also came over, but she no longer tried to persuade him. Instead, she gave Chen Mo a palm-sized jade lotus and said, "Within this jade is sealed a strand of my Power. At a critical moment, it can save your life. After you enter the Ancient Ruins, preserving your life comes first; everything else can be set aside. Have you remembered that?"

"Many thanks, Fairy Yi." Chen Mo directly put it away.

...

The next day, more than ten rays of rosy light shot from the distant horizon, and all of these rays were actually people, the trails they left behind as they streaked across the sky.

They flew over the skies above Heaven-Suppressing Pass, heading straight toward the direction of the Ancient Ruins.

"They're here. Those are the experts of the various top-tier powers and Ancient Races who arranged the Barrier."

"The Barrier is about to open. Everyone, hurry!"

In the city.

"Let's go."

Feng Nian and Lin Yifu each led along the juniors of their respective clans; Huang Yi brought Chen Mo, and together they followed behind those dozen or so rays of rosy light.

Chen Mo looked back and saw tens of thousands of streaks of light following behind them: members of the Human Race riding giant elephants, trees wreathed in flame and capable of flight, flying giant pythons, giants several zhang tall…

An impressive sight.

"I'd say even a Star Domain war is nothing more than this," Lin Yifu glanced back and laughed.

"It's still a bit lacking," Feng Nian said.

"Speaking of the Star Domain war, does your clan have confidence in placing this time?" Lin Yifu asked with a smile.

"Hard to say." At this, a look of worry appeared on Feng Nian's face. The Eagle Owl Race hadn't placed in the Star Domain war for several rounds now.

Though the Eagle Owl Race wasn't weak, compared to the Seven Great Powers, they were still slightly inferior.

Soon, the group arrived in the skies above a dense mountain range.

The entire mountain range was shrouded in thick clouds and mist. Within this jade-like mist, rays of rosy light flickered—that was the Barrier jointly laid down by the various top-tier experts.

At this moment, an opening had already been made in the Barrier, a giant glowing gate.
