Chapter 1601 Sword God Title
Liang Feng struggled to get to his feet with the help of his sword. Although his body was formed from starlight, he was still capable of experiencing pain.
He looked at Yun Lintian and said. "Your true strength has already surpassed the Divine Transformation Realm. If I guess correctly, you must be the successor of the Beyond Heaven King."
Liang Feng had never seen anyone, aside from the Beyond Heaven King, who possessed a battle prowess that exceeded their own realm by such large margins. It wasn't difficult to guess Yun Lintian's identity.
"Can I ask you a question now?" Yun Lintian calmly said and let the Heaven Piercing Sword float around him on its own.
"Go ahead." Liang Feng nodded gently.
"First of all, what is this mark?" Yun Lintian pointed to the back of his right hand.
"It's the star mark. You need to complete a total of five trials to finish it. And once it is complete, you will be able to leave this place." Liang Feng answered truthfully.
Yun Lintian nodded gently and asked further. "What is the next trial?"
"From this floor to the top floor, you will face three additional opponents. Each one of them will be stronger than your profound strength." Liang Feng replied.
"I believe your true strength should be at the peak of the Divine Emperor Realm in the past. How did you lose?" Yun Lintian was curious.
"The opponents I faced were all above me. They were all at least at the level of a God Emperor," Liang Feng explained. "You are luckier. Your realm isn't high, and your opponents won't be far above you."
Yun Lintian was surprised to hear this. He didn't expect that his low profound strength would become an advantage for him. As long as he didn't encounter a divine emperor or anyone above that rank, he should be able to pass all the trials.
"Can you tell me about the current situation in the outside world?" Liang Feng asked.
"Sure." Yun Lintian nodded slightly and proceeded to recount the current situation of the Divine Realm.
Liang Feng was shocked to the core when he heard that the original Sword God had long since perished. To him, the Sword God was invincible even when he faced the Beyond Heaven King. How could he have died?
Yun Lintian seemed to see through Liang Feng's thoughts. "I don't know much about it, but I heard there's something going on with the current Sword God. He seems to be the Sword God's junior brother, Qin Juehai."
Liang Feng's body shook. He seemed to be deep in thought and muttered to himself. "So, that's how it is... No wonder."
He raised his head to look at the Heaven Piercing Sword, which was floating around Yun Lintian, and said. "Since the Heaven Piercing Sword has recognized you as its master, it means you are the rightful inheritor of the title of Sword God. When you leave this place, you must not take the sword out recklessly. Especially when you meet those people from the Sword God Realm."
"Why?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly.
"There were two factions in the Sword God Sect at that time. One faction was naturally led by the Sword God, while the other was led by Jian Hao. This Jian Hao was a proud sword practitioner and his talent was not inferior to that of the Sword God. However, he lost to the Sword God in the end and became a great elder of the sect." Liang Feng explained.
"The two factions often clashed and there were numerous people died in process. Meanwhile, Qin Juehai was the Sword God's closest junior brother. He honed his swordsmanship under the guidance of the Sword God for ages and eventually became one of the most formidable sword practitioners in the sect."
Liang Feng's expression turned solemn as he continued. "If I guess correctly, Qin Juehai must have colluded with Jian Hao for a long time, and he probably betrayed the Sword God at a critical moment."
"Although he proclaimed himself as the new Sword God, I believe that many people in the sect, including the Divine Realm, don't really recognize him because the Heaven Piercing Sword is the true symbol of the Sword God. And he is definitely searching for it right now."
Although there were many details missing from the narration, Yun Lintian could make a rough guess about it. Qin Juehai was the biggest fisher. Both Sword God and Jian Hao probably died at his hands.
Liang Feng sighed sadly. The news of the Sword God's departure felt like a hammer striking his soul. The final vestige of his obsession with the world was the desire to see him again, but it was destined to be impossible.
"It's time for me to go." Liang Feng looked at Yun Lintian and said calmly. "Remember, do not reveal your identity as the inheritor of the Sword God to anyone. If possible, do not step into the Sword God Realm before you can become a god emperor."
"Wait!" Yun Lintian wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly Liang Feng transformed into a group of starlights and shot towards Yun Lintian's right hand.
A burning sensation appeared on the back of Yun Lintian's hand once again, and a second triangular mark could be seen, connected to the first one.
Creak!
Suddenly, a hidden passage appeared on the wall beside Yun Lintian. Behind it, there was a spiral staircase leading to the next floor.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and started climbing the staircase. He didn't know what kind of his next opponent was.
Soon, Yun Lintian arrived at yet another spacious hall. However, before he could check anything, raging winds and thunderbolts were abruptly blasted towards Yun Lintian from the end of the hall.
Yun Lintian instinctively grabbed the Heaven Piercing Sword that was burst into flames and as he waved the sword, scarlet flames blanketed the entire space, directly clashing with the oncoming winds and lightnings.
BOOOM!
A deafening roar, like explosions of divine magnitude, sounded. The entire hall was filled with scars and cracks, and some tiles instantly turned to dust.
Lightnings, raging winds, and violent flames turned the entire hall into an absolute hell instantly. Each and every part of the surrounding space was filled with a terrifying divine energy.
At that moment, Yun Lintian got a clear image of the attacker's appearance. It was a middle-aged man with giant axes in both of his hands. Judging from his aura, this person's strength had already reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, which was two whole realms above him.
