Everyone in Ultimate Sword Domain saw the blinding light that came from Holy Sword Mountain.
This light was bright and it illuminated the entire world. The Holy Sword Mountain of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace was at the heart of the light.
“Someone has gotten within thirty feet of the Sword Mountain!”
“Incredible. It has been very long since someone managed to do it!”
“I wonder who it is?”
Numerous people stared into the direction of Holy Sword Mountain.
The bright light meant that someone had entered within thirty feet of the mountain.
At the same time that they were surprised, the onlookers tried to guess who had achieved the feat.
It had been many years since someone had entered the thirty feet zone. Anyone who managed to get so close to the peak was considered an exceptionally talented Favored One.
On Holy Sword Mountain of Ultimate Sword Domain, all the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace people were surprised.
Inside Ling Chang’s Sword Palace, Ling Chang opened her eyes and stared out of her palace.
“Su Mo, is that you?” Ling Chang pondered. She knew that Su Mo had gone to Great Sword Sepulcher and hence she guessed that he was the cause of the light.
Aside from Su Mo, there wasn’t any other talent who could achieve that feat.
Ling Chang wore a concerned expression. She was worried for Su Mo.
After all, there was no guarantee of anyone being able to reach the peak of the mountain.
Ling Chang hoped that Su Mo would reach the peak and pass the last round to uncover the secret of Ultimate Sword Arts.
The Ultimate Sword Art could only be used by its creator, Ultimate Sword Honorable, and no one had managed to grasp it.
With a light sigh, Ling Chang continued her cultivation. She did not hold on to too much hope.
The hope of reaching the peak of Sword Mountain was small even though someone had entered the thirty feet zone.
At the top part of Holy Sword Mountain, a short, long-bearded elder slowly opened his eyes in a stone room.
This elder was naturally the Palace Master of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.
“It must be another top talent!” Ultimate Supreme Being shook his head slightly. Anyone who got within thirty feet of the peak would be an exceptional talent.
Yet, he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Time had told him that thirty feet from the peak of the mountain was still a far distance from the peak.
This last thirty feet was like the distance between heaven and earth and no one had ever managed to cross it.
At the same time, the purple-robed Zi Xiao who was in Zi Xiao Sword Palace sat quietly in his grand hall.
“It can’t be Qin Yun right?” Zi Xiao Supreme Being wondered. To him, it also seemed that there was no one else other than Qin Yun who had managed to get within thirty feet of the mountain.
Qin Yun had exchanged blows with him before and hence he knew that Qin Yun had exceptional combat talents. Qin Yun could easily surpass those who were even three ranks higher than him.
Such incredible combat strength meant that Qin Yun had to possess rare talents.
“If you manage to reach the peak and obtain the secret of Ultimate Sword Arts, it is also a good thing!”
A few moments later, Zi Xiao Supreme Being smiled. If Qin Yun managed to uncover the secret of Ultimate Sword Arts, it would be doing him a favor.
After all, Zi Xiao had the lady that Su Mo treasured a lot in his hands.
Zi Xiao Supreme Being did not think too much of this. He did not think that Su Mo would be able to reach the peak.
…
On Sword Mountain, the Sword Radiance below Su Mo’s feet became more intense once he reached the thirty feet zone.
Bam bam bam!!
Loud, deafening explosions shook the sky as the thick Chaotic Energy around Su Mo virtually crumbled apart in an instant.
Despite breaking through to the next rank, it was almost impossible to defend against the Sword Radiance fully. This was due to the increase in the strength of the attacks that accompanied his increase in cultivation rank.
Furthermore, the Sword Radiance that originated from Sword Mountain surged when he got within thirty feet.
As the Protective Origin Energy crumble apart, Su Mo’s body once again suffered from the Sword Radiance assault.
However, this time it was better and Su Mo’s body did not directly break apart, only blood seeped from his wounds.
The defense of his body tore apart again and blood that splattered around dispersed through the air.
Buzz buzz buzz!!
Right at that moment, the aura around Su Mo’s body surged again and he released the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit, Unbeatable Power Primordial Spirit, and even the Illusion Primordial Spirit.
The Illusion Primordial Spirit seemed to be on par with the Unbeatable Power Primordial Spirit. They were both Primordial Spirits that was made of invisible auras and they had no distinguishable bodies.
As the three Primordial Spirits hovered above his head, Primorial Spirit energy gathered around him and strengthened his Protective Origin Energy.
He had been left with no choice but to use the Illusion Primordial Spirit since the Sword Radiance was too strong.
Although the Primordial Spirit had not been refined into one of his own, thus not contributing much to his defense, it still strengthened Su Mo’s position.
As expected, the moment the Primordial Spirits were released, the Primordial Spirit energy was activated to its maximum and Su Mo’s defense stabilized.
However, at that point, Gu Jianshan, Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu and everyone else were shell-shocked.
Everyone stared incredulously at Su Mo with a face full of disbelief.
They were not shocked at Su Mo being able to stand with stability at the thirty feet mark, but they were shocked at Su Mo’s Primordial Spirit.
“This… isn’t this Lin Qianhuan’s Illusion Primordial Spirit?” Tuoba Liuming stuttered in disbelief.
It was definitely the Illusion Primordial Spirit of Lin Qianhuan as there was the aura of Lin Qianhuan on it too. There was no denying it. How could the Primordial Spirit become Qin Yun’s?
Yun Mu, Han Sheng, Gongsun Jia all shared Tuoba Liuming’s thoughts as well and they wore stunned faces.
It was a miracle for someone else’s Primordial Spirit to actually become Qin Yun’s.
At the thirty foot mark, Su Mo did not rush to advance forward. He took greater control of his defense and stabilized his position.
The next thirty feet was an intense step and he could not be half hearted in his attempt.
“Qin Yun, how do you have the Illusion Primordial Spirit?”
At that point, Yun Mu asked curiously. Her bright eyes were wide open and her voice was filled with disbelief.
Everyone stared at Su Mo, waiting for his answer. They did not move at all and they all wanted to see what Su Mo’s limit was.
However Su Mo ignored Yun Mu entirely. He stood upright and focused on stabilizing his defense and calming himself down.
Yun Mu’s face was dark as Qin Yun had obviously ignored her.
“Qin Yun’s Illusion Primordial Spirit is not the same as Lin Qianhuan’s Primordial Spirit!” Gongsun Jia exclaimed with a stern look.
“Why do you say so?” Han Sheng stared at Gongsun Jia. Did he know the answer?
Everyone stared at Gongsun Jia, waiting for him to explain the situation.
“You may not know but Qin Yun is adept at changing his appearance and aura. He is so good at this that anyone below a Supreme Being cannot distinguish him. That was how he escaped back in Void City. He must have used this Illusion Primordial Spirit!” Gongsun Jia said. In his opinion, Su Mo must have the same Illusion Primordial Spirit as Qianhuan Demon Lord.
That must be the reason why he could escape right under the eyes of the governor of Void City.
“Gongsun Jia, do you think we are dumb? His is definitely Lin Qianhuan’s Primordial Spirit. The aura is the exact same!” Tuoba Liuming impatiently snapped.
He didn’t believe such an explanation. How could it be such a coincidence that Su Mo had the same Primordial Spirit and how could one explain the identical aura coming from it?
People were doubtful of Gongsun Jia’s explanation. They had all seen that Su Mo had devoured Qianhuan Demon Lord’s Primordial Spirit previously. Could this be related to his mysterious devouring power?
Everyone was silent as that didn’t seem possible. How could Qin Yun use the Illusion Primordial Spirit for himself after devouring it?
If that were the case, Qin Yun would be like a god. He would be able to possess all kinds of Primordial Spirits.
