The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 615 - 614: Time Doesn’t Stop, The Pursuit Doesn’t Cease!

Chapter 615: Chapter 614: Time Doesn’t Stop, The Pursuit Doesn’t Cease!

This was an ancient war.

This war, from the start of time and space, had begun in the age that was not recorded in time.

And till today, it was yet to end.

The Giant God Clan was still on the chase after the Sky-swallowing Clan.

Time didn’t halt, nor did the chase!

This was the destiny of the entire Sky-swallowing Clan, the destiny of all warriors with devouring types of martial souls.

At this moment, Lin Bai fully understood. The remnant soul from the Famous Sword Manor had said, if Lin Bai were to go back and look through the lineage of the Devouring Sword Spirit, he would understand what sort of destiny this was.

But now, Lin Bai remembered the words of the Wooden Sword remnant soul, saying that if one killed a warrior of the Devouring Sword Spirit, they could transcend destiny!

The curious Lin Bai asked, "Master, what does it mean to transcend destiny?"

Ling Tianzi explained, "A Martial Soul represents a warrior’s potential, and Martial Souls are also classified by grades. Each Martial Soul with a grade has its bellflower!"

"For instance, a warrior with a Yellow Grade Martial Soul would find it difficult to break through the Flying Sky Realm. That is the bellflower!"

"A warrior with a Mysterious Grade Martial Soul would find it difficult to break through the Wending Realm. That is the bellflower"

"As long as there’s a graded Martial Soul, there will be a bellflower!"

"This kind of bellflower is known as the Heaven’s Mandate Bellflower!"

"But in the Giant God Clan, there was once a flower known as an ’Other Shore Flower’. After this flower bloomed inside a warrior’s body, the Martial Soul would merge with the Other Shore Flower, causing a mutation in the Martial Soul, which consequently would breakthrough into a new Martial Soul!"

"This is what is referred to as transcending destiny, and this brand new Martial Soul is also called the Transcendent Martial Soul!"

"A Transcendent Martial Spirit has no grade, no Heaven’s Mandate Bellflower!"

"The potential of a Transcendent Martial Spirit is almost infinite!"

"Once when the Giant God Clan was hunting the Sky-swallowing Clan, they issued a kill order to the all heavens and myriad realms. Any warrior who killed a member of the Sky-swallowing Clan could, by presenting the slain member’s Martial Soul as evidence, go to the Giant God Clan and exchange it for an Other Shore Flower!"

"The Other Shore Flower, ascend to the other shore, transcend destiny!"

"At the time indeed there were many warriors, hunting down members of the Sky-swallowing Clan for man’s desire to land on the other shore."

"And it was because of this, with the efforts of the warriors from all heavens and myriad realms, no one from the Sky-Swallowing Clan was left alive!"

Ling Tianzi said indifferently.

"So that’s what happened." Lin Bai said in realization.

Ling Tianzi said, "Of course, it’s not just the Other Shore flower that could transcend destiny in this world. There’s also a fruit from a tree known as the ’Ascension Divine Tree’, which also possesses the power to transcend destiny!"

"However, the Ascension Divine Tree was destroyed long ago due to the dispute in the martial world and because of the lack of a protector."

Ling Tianzi said with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded deeply.

""Master, in that case, you’re saying once I broke through to the Divine Elixir Realm, my True Qi will transform into spiritual power, then the Giant God Clan’s Giant God Compass will sense it, and at that time, the Giant God’s Intent will descend?""

Lin Bai questioned.

Ling Tianzi nodded, "That’s right, the giant image that appeared in the illusion the old monk showed you in the space above the cloud, that was the Giant God’s intent."

"The Giant God’s intent is the will of the Giant God race from the Giant God compass, not the actual members of the Giant God Clan."

"But don’t underestimate this kind of will; it’s quite powerful! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be nearly no warrior from the Sky-swallowing Clan that could survive under the Giant God’s Intent after all these eons."

Lin Bai eagerly asked, "Then Master, do you have a way for me to defeat this giant?"

Ling Tianzi laughed, "Of course I do! But I am only three parts sure!"

Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise, "Even if it’s just three parts; please teach me, Master."

Ling Tianzi said, "Coming up next is the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition of Shenwu Kingdom. In the Treasure Vault of Canghai Yuntai Palace, there is a nine-grade spirit tool, called the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm. It’s a pity that the warriors at Canghai Yuntai Palace don’t recognize this treasure and treated it as a piece of junk discard in the treasury."

"If you can secure the first place in the Four Major Sects’ competition, the reward from Canghai Yuntai Palace is to let the champion enter the treasury and pick one thing of their choice. I hope that you can find this Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm."

"On the surface, this Stone Mirror appears to be a third-grade spiritual weapon, but in reality, very few people are aware that the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm is originally a nine-grade spiritual weapon. It’s just that it’s been ravaged by time, damaged in great battles, and has lost some of its spiritual quality."

"If you obtain this Stone Mirror, after activating it at full power, it can unleash the defensive power of a nine-grade spiritual tool, potentially saving you from two or three attacks by the Giant God!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was overjoyed, asking, "Master, can a nine-grade spirit tool only resist two or three attacks? And how many times will the Giant God’s Intent attack?"

Ling Tianzi said, "The Giant God’s Intent, with each descent, only strikes nine times, and after nine times, the Giant God’s Intent will shatter."

"And I don’t know if the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm can resist the nine strikes of the Giant God!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai began to carefully calculate in his mind.

"The Giant God’s Intent can only strike nine times each time it manifests, and it will shatter after nine strikes, so that means the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm can shield me from two to three strikes by the Giant God!"

"The Giant God can still strike six more times!"

"Can my divine power resist it once?"

"Can my cultivation power resist once?"

"If I calculate this way, I will have to withstand five or six more attacks from the Giant God’s Intent..."

Thinking of this, a fervent flame flashed in Lin Bai’s eyes. He said resolutely, "What I need now is a large number of defensive spiritual tools and spiritual items, and the stronger the defensive spiritual tools, the better!"

At this moment, Ling Tianzi said, "Lin Bai, this is all I can tell you!"

"This is the destiny of the Sky-swallowing Clan; even if I intervene and rescue you to prevent this catastrophe, the Giant God Clan will find you. Once the Giant God Compass detects you, the Giant God Clan will surely come after you!"

"It’s impossible for me to always stay by your side, and it’s also impossible for me to always carry you with me!"

"If you follow me, you’ll just be detected by the Giant God Clan more quickly!"

"Even though I’m not weak in my cultivation, there is still somewhat of a gap compared to the Giant God Clan! Once the Giant God Clan discovers you, I won’t be able to protect you!"

"Thus, the journey ahead relies on you walking alone!"

"You must learn to face calamities on your own!"

"To put it simply, this is the destiny of your Sky-swallowing Clan! There’s no escape for anyone!"

So said Ling Tianzi quite seriously.

Lin Bai said firmly, "Apprentice understands, Master. I’m already very grateful that you could show me a clear path. Let the apprentice handle what comes next."

"The destiny of the Devouring Martial Soul, I shall face it by myself!"

The Giant God Clan was overwhelmingly powerful, nearly standing at the pinnacle of all the heavens and realms.

Lin Bai wasn’t willing to involve all of his friends and family. What if something went wrong and they were implicated? How would he face it?

Lin Bai could face death, but he did not wish to implicate his friends and kinsmen.

The trials of life can only be confronted by one’s own strength. Even if someone else helps you evade a calamity one time, what about future? Lin Bai could not always rely on others.

Relying on the mountain, the mountain falls; relying on the tree, the tree withers; relying on oneself is the best!

In the Martial Arts World, strength is the most respected. Only when Lin Bai himself becomes stronger, any calamity in front of him would be like passing clouds and smoke!

"Become stronger! Become stronger than everyone else!"

"Become so strong that even the Giant God Clan can’t kill me!"

At this moment, Lin Bai, clenching his fists, declared determinedly!

"Canghai Yuntai Palace! Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm! I will definitely get them!"

Lin Bai declared determinedly.
