Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Nascent Soul Ninth Level

"Run? I let you run once, do you think you can run a second time?"

The tone of the Heaven-Mending Stone was clearly displeased.

Having allowed one among two Golden Core cultivators to escape last time had already been a blow to its pride. If this fellow managed to escape again, the Heaven-Mending Stone didn’t know how it would face Su Chengyu to claim its merits.

The life and death of Yu Yanshu were indeed crucial, but the reason the Heaven-Mending Stone acted so swiftly was more for its own dignity!

Its dignity was synonymous with the dignity of the Heaven Mend Sect!

The multicolored halo directly coalesced into Five-Colored Sword Qi, chasing after Jin Xin.

Feeling the Sword Qi that had utterly locked onto him from behind, Jin Xin even harbored thoughts of death at this moment.

If Jin Xin could be given another chance to choose at this moment, he definitely would not have decided to follow the man in the black robe to Liuli Country.

Immortal Artifacts, opportunities to ally with the Long family—all were utter nonsense!

Feeling that the Five-Colored Sword Qi had already reached behind him, just as Jin Xin thought everything was over,

a brutal wave of mana directly positioned itself behind Jin Xin. The Sword Qi that had aimed to take Jin Xin’s life instantly dispersed.

Sensing the movement behind him, Jin Xin was overjoyed beyond measure, knowing it was undoubtedly the man in the black robe who had taken action.

Right now, only he could save Jin Xin from the peculiar multicolored halo.

The man in the black robe, intending to remain hidden, had appeared at Jin Xin’s side unknowingly.

Jin Xin, like clinging to a life-saving straw, instantly ran behind the man in the black robe, overwhelmed with excitement.

Looking at Jin Xin, the man in the black robe did not disguise the disappointment in his eyes and said coldly, "Truly useless!"

Jin Xin helplessly explained, "My lord, I really couldn’t handle that peculiar multicolored light."

"I will take care of that thing; you go deal with that human cultivator,"

the man in the black robe said softly.

As long as he didn’t strike directly at Su Chengyu, there was always room for excuses.

Before, when only hearing Jin Xin’s description, he hadn’t realized what was special about this so-called halo and simply thought it was a magic artifact manipulated by Su Chengyu.

But the man in the black robe was very clear that Su Chengyu’s entire focus was on the battle with Hua Yingrong at the moment, and he couldn’t possibly have the extra strength and attention to control such a powerful magic artifact here.

The Five-Colored Sword Qi that the man in black seemed to handle effortlessly just now, but he was well aware that this Sword Qi was comparable to a strike from a normal Nascent Soul Cultivator.

He instantly understood why Zhu Xie, upon the appearance of the Heaven-Mending Stone, had fallen completely into a disadvantage and was swiftly defeated by Su Chengyu without any power to resist.

What concerned the man in black more was that the lock-on method of the Five-Colored Divine Light targeting Jin Xin didn’t seem like passive, autonomous defense but more like it had actively targeted and locked onto Jin Xin.

Jin Xin might not understand this difference, but the man in the black robe was very clear that it was highly possible that this Five-Colored Sword Qi was controlled by a consciousness.

It couldn’t be the Foundation Establishment Realm Yu Yanshu, nor could it be Su Chengyu who was far away in another battlefield. Therefore, the one manipulating this tactic was very likely the body of this multicolored light itself!

A magic artifact with self-awareness, even if it hasn’t reached the level of an Immortal Artifact, would have a value that rivaled an Immortal Artifact.

After all, only such a magic artifact could potentially evolve into a true Immortal Artifact.

What is the difference between a King-grade Divine Artifact and an Immortal Artifact?

Aside from the essence of the magic artifact itself, there’s another more critical factor, whether the Sword Spirit is mature or not.

Su Chengyu currently possesses the King-grade Divine Artifact, Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, and the Extreme Artifact, Dragon Slayer Sword.

The latter’s Artifact Spirit possessed a self-thinking consciousness, though it was not yet capable of autonomous combat like the Wasteland Sky Halberd or the Heaven-Mending Stone.

However, with a bit more growth, it would reach the threshold of an Immortal Artifact’s spirit. By then, the Dragon Slayer Sword itself only needed to improve its grade by one level to truly become an Immortal Artifact.

Though difficult, this upgrade was not without solutions.

The Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, however, was significantly different. In terms of quality, as the Qingcheng Sect’s inherited treasure, it naturally surpassed the Dragon Slayer Sword.

But over such a vast spread of time, the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map had not developed a real self-awareness.

It simply carried out Su Chengyu’s commands, utterly lacking the ability to think or judge for itself.

Unless someone used ancient methods to sacrifice their life for the artifact, such a Magic Artifact had no chance of evolving into an Immortal Artifact.

A man in black robes fixed his gaze on Yu Yanshu, quickly locating the true body of the Heaven-Mending Stone based on the formidable energy emitted by the Five-colored Sword Qi.

Looking at the Heaven-Mending Stone, which radiated Five-Colored Divine Light and appeared nothing more than a stone, the cloaked figure coldly questioned, "What exactly are you?"

"Don’t flatter yourself. Are you even worthy of knowing my name?"

With greater power, its words also carried more confidence.

Dealing with his friend Su Chengyu, it had never shown much favor, and it was even less courteous to others.

Let alone a Nascent Soul, even if a Hollow Vacuum expert were to come here, the Heaven-Mending Stone wouldn’t give them the slightest respect.

"Hmph! A mere Artifact Spirit, and yet so arrogantly ignorant of the world’s vastness. I am curious to see what capabilities you actually possess!"

Realizing that the Heaven-Mending Stone was not the communicative type, the cloaked figure didn’t bother speaking further and took direct action against the Heaven-Mending Stone.

The Heaven-Mending Stone’s Five-Colored Divine Light surged, blocking the attacks of the cloaked man while sending a message to Yu Yanshu.

"Girl! This guy is not weak. I need to concentrate fully on him and won’t be able to look after you, so don’t get yourself killed. If anything happens to you, that boy Su Chengyu will surely blame me."

Yu Yanshu was momentarily stunned, aware that the Heaven-Mending Stone possessed self-awareness.

But it was the first time it had initiated communication with her, making her fully realize the gravity of their situation.

After all, unless it had no other choice, the prideful Heaven-Mending Stone would never greet her first.

"Senior, don’t worry, I will protect myself."

"Don’t overexert yourself; remember Su Chengyu’s final arrangements."

With these final words, the Heaven-Mending Stone completely soared away, quickly moving away from Yu Yanshu’s vicinity to prevent any residual effects from reaching her.

From their recent exchange, it had judged the cloaked man’s power to be at the Ninth Level of Nascent Soul Realm!

Though the realm had nine levels, it was broadly divided into three stages.

The first three levels were the initial stage, levels four to six were the middle stage, and the Ninth Level of Nascent Soul Realm was the late-stage peak.

Though the Heaven-Mending Stone spoke without any politeness, it understood that at best it could only delay this man. Defeating him, with its current strength, was wishful thinking.

The Heaven-Mending Stone wasn’t worried about Su Chengyu’s side. Even without it, facing a Fourth level of Nascent Soul Realm foe was just a matter of how quickly he could resolve it.

But Yu Yanshu was different. The Heaven-Mending Stone knew very well that once it left, Yu Yanshu would be alone in facing that Golden Core Realm cultivator!

Sure enough, once the Five-Colored Divine Light moved away from Yu Yanshu’s side, Jin Xin cautiously approached her.

Only after confirming that the peculiar halo was indeed absent did Jin Xin make another move towards Yu Yanshu.

This time, Jin Xin didn’t dare underestimate her and used his full strength, aiming to take down Yu Yanshu in one fell swoop to avoid any further complications!
