Whine!
The fierce, raging wind was mixed with coarse sand. It hit Flame Wolf’s face. The burning sensation caused Flame Wolf to verify one thing. Tiger Soul had indeed retreated into itself, allowing Flame Wolf to regain control of his own body.
“How could this be…?”
Flame Wolf lowered his head in shock and cast a glance at Tiger Soul. It was still as savage as ever, but it lost some of the brutality that would cause it to exact violence on its own. It also stopped giving him the urge to release some sort of power.
Then, the initial shock faded away. It was followed by delight. Later on, it turned into crazed happiness because of this unexpected surprise.
“Hmm?”
Happy had been wondering about how he could defeat Flame Wolf, but what he did not expect was that when Flame Wolf turned his head around to look at him, Flame Wolf’s eyes instantly became clear, and he regained his sanity. Happy was surprised. At the same time, the clear sound of the system’s notification rang in his mind.
The system notification said, “Ding!
“Tiger Soul ran into Heaven Crystal. Even though the sword spirit in Heaven Crystal has been damaged, its animosity towards Tiger Soul has never been destroyed. These two are mortal enemies. The conditions are met. The hidden plot has been activated!”
Before the system notification’s voice faded from his mind, Happy quickly felt Heaven Crystal becoming restless once more, even though it had become calm just now.
He looked down and saw Heaven Crystal humming. A pure and mighty presence surged out nonstop from the crystalline sword, and it turned into visible rays of light that swiftly surrounded his body starting from his arm.
Happy sucked in a deep breath, and he felt a wave of heat travel from his sword into his arm. Then, as the ray of light swam about, it quickly filled his limbs.
The warm heat brought him an incredibly pleasant and powerful feeling.
At the same time, Happy could clearly sense that Heaven Crystal seemed to have gained a mighty qi, and it gained an indomitable presence.
“Heaven Crystal’s sword will has been activated! Your attack has been increased by 10,000 points! You gained the ability to break defenses, and you also have gained the destruction ability. Time of effect: Unknown.”
‘It has been activated!
‘Heaven Crystal’s sword will has been completely activated!’
A graceful and white sword will charged to the person across him.
At the same time, a brutal and monstrous red light abruptly charged at him from the person across him.
One of them was a pure and mighty presence, and the other was a brutal and evil presence!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the ancient sword spirits crashed into each other. For a period of time, dark clouds tumbled about. The sky turned dark, and the sand in the desert started dancing along the sword spirits.
“What happened over there?!”
Silver Wolf had finally finished dealing with the enthusiastic players in Flame Town when he suddenly noticed the powerful wave of impact coming from afar. In an instant, the wave traveled one-third of a mile, and everyone was shocked. They subconsciously turned their heads to look out the town.
They would have remained ignorant if they did not see it, but when they did, they saw sand filling the air in a circular area of one-third of a mile.
The desert in the distance seemed to have turned into another world.
Dark clouds filled that area, and two astonishing wills continued clashing in the air. Powerful gusts of wind continuously blew in all directions.
Sand flew in multiple layers on the surface of the desert because of the wind. They looked as if they were levitating because gravity no longer worked on them.
Countless grains of sand was suspended in the air.
Slowly, they formed a huge tornado that had a diameter of more than one-third of a mile.
When they saw this, the group of people could not help but suck in sharp breaths. They held their breaths and watched the strange phenomenon in shock, allowing the wind to make their robes flutter. Even after a long time had passed, they did not let out a single sound.
The tornado with a diameter that was more than one-third of a mile was originally very thin, but soon, it turned into a dark and large tornado. The wills of the ancient weapons clashed so violently that the weather changed. They continuously created a tornado that stopped everyone from seeing into it. In fact, they created a natural disaster that would catch everyone’s attention!
At the center of the large tornado were Happy and Flame Wolf. Both of them were not affected by the sand tornado at all as they faced each other.
But the sand was reenacting the fight between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor during ancient times.
Those scenes appeared in the sand, and they looked incredibly real.
At the moment this natural phenomenon appeared, Happy just watched quietly.
Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor, Heaven Crystal, and Tiger Soul.
When they met each other, they were engaged in a fight to the death that shocked the heavens and earth. Mountains crumbled, and rivers were destroyed. The skies collapsed, and the earth shattered. Blood flowed in rivers.
Chiyou mastered the path of evil, while the Yellow Emperor led those in the path of righteousness.
During the raging battle, Tiger Soul grew stronger as it was stained in fresh blood, but the Yellow Emperor and Heaven Crystal grew compassionate because of the lives on Earth. In the end, the Yellow Emperor sacrificed his life to die together with Chiyou.
They left behind Tiger Soul and Heaven Crystal to continue fighting against each other to the end of time.
Tiger Soul absorbed an increasing amount of blood during the battles, and it became even more violent. It became so brutal that a normal person could not control it at all.
But Heaven Crystal grew weaker after each battle. In the end, it ended up in the hands of the master of the Nangong Clan. In fact, Heaven Crystal’s sword spirit was even destroyed by an ancient demon vessel used by the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance.
“Whine…”
He swung his arm, and Heaven Crystal released a long whine. Happy removed his mind from the divine weapon, and his thoughts retreated from it like a receding tide.
“So that’s how it is.”
He raised his arm and brought Heaven Crystal to his eyes. Happy’s questions had been answered, and he felt a heavy weight settle in his eyes.
“Heaven Crystal…”
All this while, he found it weird. How did Heaven Crystal end up being badly damaged with the ancient demon vessel the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance used? He did not expect that the culprit behind it was actually Tiger Soul.
The wills of the two ancient weapons clashed, fully reflecting the Yellow Emperor’s fearless spirit when he was willing to sacrifice himself for the lives in the world to suppress Chiyou as well as Heaven Crystal’s loneliness and sadness when it lost its master. It caused Happy to feel strongly resonated to the sword, and he sighed.
Happy raised his hand, and he gently flicked Heaven Crystal while it was trembling slightly while releasing a powerful will.
Ting!
A clear and penetrative sword while instantly rose in the air. The sentient sword will was very charming, and Happy, who had some understanding toward the path of swords, was quickly enchanted by this clear and clean sword will.
There was no mistaking it.
Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul were both ancient weapons. Since ancient times, their masters were mortal enemies, and they had fought against each other for countless years. This animosity that was born within them was already deeply embedded in their spirits. In fact, it was branded deep in the wills of the weapons.
Tiger Soul had appeared right before Heaven Crystal, and it stimulated the damaged sword spirit. It remembered its former pride and will, and with an indomitable spirit, it reflected its spirit upon its wielder’s heart, which meant that it reflected its spirit upon Happy’s heart.
The system notification rose once more.
“Fight to the death!
“Heaven Crystal’s sword will is flowing out endlessly before Tiger Soul, and it is constantly remaining at the peak of its condition.
“As Heaven Crystal’s master, it is your duty to chase down and kill the person wielding Tiger Soul!
“Kill Tiger Soul’s wielder and destroy the qi as well as blood Tiger Soul has been devouring all this while. Cleanse the brutality within Tiger Soul! If you complete the quest, you can strengthen Heaven Crystal’s will and increase the speed in repairing Heaven Crystal!
“If you fail, Heaven Crystal will be damaged, and its willpower will fade away. Heaven Crystal’s attributes will be reduced by 50%, and it will be reduced to a normal divine weapon.
The series of system notifications entered his ear, and Happy slowly opened his eyes as he listened to them. He stared at the person ahead of him.
He was to kill Tiger Soul’s owner.
Even if he did not have Heaven Crystal’s sword will, he would do the same.
But how was he to cleanse the qi and blood in Tiger Soul?
Besides, Happy was trying to solve another problem.
It was very clear that Heaven Crystal’s attributes were not at their peak, but across him was Tiger Soul, which had surpassed the peak of its condition, and Happy could use it.
Once Flame Wolf died, Tiger Soul would naturally fall into his hands.
With Heaven Crystal in hand, he might be able to subjugate Tiger Soul, and his mind would not be controlled.
In other words, Happy had the chance to obtain Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul at the same time.
The only thing he was worried about was that both of them could not tolerate each other’s presence, and by that time, his losses would outweigh his gains.
When he thought of this, Happy sighed softly.
“Forget it. I’ll have time to think about it after I kill Flame Wolf.” Happy’s gaze became clear, and he quickly made his decision.
Flame Wolf had practically snapped out of Tiger Soul’s will at the same time as Happy did.
Just like Happy, Flame Wolf obtained a notification from Tiger Soul.
As long as he killed Heaven Crystal’s owner and used Heaven Crystal’s strength, Tiger Soul would not demand for blood endlessly everyday anymore. The wielder could retain his mind, and everyday, he would have the chance to use Tiger Soul for a certain amount of time.
He sensed the waves of power endlessly surging into him from Tiger Soul. He also saw Tiger Soul’s attributes reflected in his mind. Flame Wolf’s lips slowly curled up, and he started grinning brightly.
He slowly raised his head, and he glared at Happy fiercely.
“Hmph, you’re the strongest player in the world? I’ll let you know just how powerful Tiger Soul is today!”
Whoosh!
Their gazes met in the air.
The powerful sword spirit in Heaven Crystal and the brutal spirit of the white tiger in Tiger Soul immediately reacted to each other. Sparks flew in the air, and hostility swiftly grew stronger and clearer in their eyes.
At that moment, if anyone was in the area, they would definitely become dumbfounded.
Because the shadows of the awe-inspiring and mighty Yellow Emperor and the devilish, brutal, and savage Chiyou had even appeared behind them. Each of them occupied one side of the battlefield.
Whoosh!
Both of them disappeared from where they were simultaneously.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bloody light and sword qis intersected with each other rapidly in the air.
The shattered saber glares and sword qis caused the dark desert at the center of the tornado to become even more dangerous. terrifying trenches were left behind on the ground, and they made it seem as if the ground had been cut by the gods’ weapons, causing all sorts of wounds to be left behind on the ground.
During the few minutes they fought against each other, the saber glares and sword qis each occupied one side of the battlefield. Both of them fought on equal grounds, and neither was stronger than the other, which meant that neither could do anything to the other.
“Hahahaha!”
While airborne, Flame Wolf’s crazed laughter spread to all corners of the battlefield.
“You’re the strongest in the world? Hmph! Happy, even if you’re the sect master of Lovely Land, that’s all there is to you!”
With Tiger Soul in hand, Flame Wolf’s attacks became incredibly domineering. The tiger’s roars were like thunder, and they were mighty. His morale increased the more he fought.
Happy did not speak, but when he stared at Tiger Soul, his gaze became even more profound and solemn.
Tiger Soul was indeed extraordinary.
After Flame Wolf obtained Tiger Soul, his attacks became incredibly abstruse, and his power was not to be underestimated.
Even though he was not as strong as the alliance master, but the attacks Flame Wolf used did not seem to be using up his qi in the slightest, and the power in his attacks did not lose to those in the dao of heaven at all.
The most terrifying thing about him was that Flame Wolf seemed to have temporarily inherited some of Tiger Soul’s ultimate skills, the tiger’s roar, the saber glare, and a blood-red body fortification from Tiger Soul’s will. Each of them was not easy to deal with, and since Flame Wolf himself had his crowd control skill, even Happy was unable to easily take down Flame Wolf within a short amount of time. He could only return to the perimeter of the battlefield to attack while he tried to search for Tiger Soul’s weakness.
