Chapter 337: Chapter 316: Extinction Holy Hall Part 2

"The remaining energy is enough to resurrect two people. Should the space be upgraded?"

"Yes."

"Upgrading begins. Visualize existing scenes?"

"Existing scenes?"

Lin Fei was stunned.

"What are existing scenes?"

"You may choose from the following scenes: The first Sword Master—Ice Cliff. The second Sword Master—Galactic Void. The third Sword Master—He Family’s Manor. The fourth Sword Master—Ice Soul Cave Heaven..."

As the voice of the Sword Canon continued to rise, various scenes flashed before Lin Fei’s eyes one after another.

It took over ten minutes before all the Sword Masters’ scenes were completely presented.

"What if I don’t choose an existing scene?"

"The space will adjust the upgraded scene according to the current Sword Master’s wishes, with the extent of adjustments proportional to the existing Sword Master’s strength."

"Choose, the thirty-eighth Sword Master’s scene—Extinction Holy Hall."

"Extinction Holy Hall selected. Space adjustment begins."

"Warning! The current Sword Master’s strength is insufficient to fully activate the special power load of the scene. You can only choose one special power aura."

Lin Fei slightly frowned.

"Special power?"

Suddenly, a translucent screen unfolded before him, displaying dozens of special abilities.

The far left column was the scene’s basic abilities, with only three options available.

"Extinction Holy Hall: The ultimate Sanctuary of Slaughter. Basic abilities: 1. Hunt: Exchanges fifty percent of energy and life energy to amplify one’s own strength by twenty percent for five minutes.

2. Slaughter: For every additional person killed within two minutes, one’s speed increases by one percent. Each increase’s duration extends by fifteen seconds. Stackable.

3. Combat: Both the enemy and oneself lose half of their life energy. The enemy’s strength must not exceed twice one’s own."

"Your strength can only support one of them, please choose."

Lin Fei remained unmoved, instead silently pondering over something.

Moments later, he inquired again.

"Can the scene be changed? Can I create my own scene? Am I only allowed to choose one scene?"

"The scene is confirmed, it cannot be changed now. Sword Masters can create their own specific scenes or choose special scenes. Depending on their strength, a Sword Master may possess multiple scenes. All three require Space Evolution Degree as the energy consumed."

"Additionally, other scene enhancement abilities cannot be used on the Sword Master."

"So, these enhancement abilities can be granted to others?" Lin Fei was surprised.

"Yes, they can be granted to any living being. But they can also be taken back at any time."

"Then, what determines the amount of special abilities?"

"The Sword Master’s strength determines the eligibility and stages of abilities to be unlocked. Then, Space Evolution Degree is used as the consumable energy to activate the abilities. Every 100 Evolution Degrees spent unlocks one basic ability."

"So this is how Space Evolution Degree is used..." Lin Fei understood. The Sword Canon had set up this method for successors to establish a force entirely of their own. The different specific scenes, because they confer different enhancement abilities, will certainly create a force that fights in a style similar to that of the Sword Master, becoming the most suitable force to assist within the Sword Canon."

"Please select one enhancement ability," urged the voice of the Sword Canon again.

"Choose option one," Lin Fei decisively said.

Of the three abilities, only the first was the most practical, whether for himself or to be granted to others, it was very meaningful. It allowed for an on-demand increase in one’s own strength.

Though the second and third options were powerful, especially the second, it was practically not very useful in the current world. One needed to continue killing at a very high speed to receive the enhancement. This clearly belonged to battlefield capabilities.

"This space evolution function is clearly designed to enhance the power of the Sword Master. If I use the power of the scene as a condition or reward for joining my command, then a lot of people will definitely join. No one could resist the temptation of such a power boost. But I could just as easily take it back whenever I wanted. It truly is an extremely powerful way to establish force," Lin Fei knew in his heart. The Royal Court had thought through the possible situations when designing the Sword Canon, which provides great help both in strength and force.

"The Sword Master can also repair the Sword Canon?" Lin Fei was surprised.

"Yes, the Space Evolution Degree can be used to repair the loopholes in the Sword Canon."

Lin Fei stood quietly in the center of the grassland, about to continue asking.

Suddenly, the world turned dark.

Thunder rumbled from the sky. Countless blue lightning snakes flickered incessantly. The world was sometimes brilliantly lit and sometimes shrouded in darkness.

The ground began to tremble slightly, and the green grass and soil slowly diluted like water, turning into mud. A massive hall from beneath the earth slowly ascended. It rose from the ground as if emerging from water.

Countless mud and sand flowed down.

A bolt of lightning flashed. The world turned blood-red.

Lin Fei stood in place, as if ethereal, directly unable to touch anything.

One corner of the hall passed through his body.

It took over ten minutes for the entire hall to finally quiet down.

The sky turned into a blood-red crescent moon, quietly hanging in the black sky, without stars, only the moon.

The hall directly occupied the entire area of the Sword Canon Space. Around it, blood-red and light gold patterns intermingled strangely, appearing luxurious yet bloody.

On the ceiling, on both sides of the hall, were twisted and ferocious monster reliefs. These reliefs, grotesque and bizarre, all emitted a strong stench of blood.

Lin Fei happened to be standing in the middle of the entire structure, on the hall. Beneath his feet was a carpet as soft as a lawn, edged in blood-colored gold. Above the hall, there was a huge burning brazier, in which burned not orange-yellow flames, but blood-red ones.

The whole hall seemed oppressive and bloody. It was empty devoid of any life energy.

Lin Fei surveyed the entire hall, his keen eyes seeming to catch some inscriptions on the surface of the huge brazier above the center.

Slowly walking over, Lin Fei crouched down to take a closer look.

The brazier seemed to be made of a metal similar to copper, its surface gleaming with a light golden luster, with a great number of complex patterns and designs emerging, among which a small area seemed to have inscriptions.

Lin Fei reached out his hand to rub off the dust and rust-like substances on the inscriptions. Instantly, the entire inscription was clearly revealed.

Although he could not understand the meaning, the Sword Canon’s natural conversion instantly made Lin Fei understand the meaning of the inscriptions.

"I, the Fifteenth Sword Master, Alistair, Master of Slaughter. I leave these words for those who follow.

--Work hard to repair the Sword Canon, for if you cannot reach the highest realm, this is our only hope."

"What does it mean?" Lin Fei frowned. "Does it mean that there are only two paths, repairing the Sword Canon and reaching the highest realm? What if I stagnate? What will happen then?"

"Do you have data on the Fifteenth Sword Master?"

"Yes, Sword Sect level permissions can be opened, would you like to retrieve it?"

"Yes."

"The Fifteenth Sword Master Alistair, who invented the Extinction Sword Intent, obtained....." A series of data swiftly entered Lin Fei’s mind, all about Alistair.

It took about half an hour before the data was almost at an end.

"...after being seriously injured in the last battle, Alistair died from exhaustion of life energy."

"Would you like to retrieve Alistair’s last message before death?"

"Yes!"

"Successor, this is a warning I obtained with my life and soul. The Royal Court had already lost control over the Sword Canon. Until I held it, more and more powerful beings were imprisoned inside, the power of the Sword Canon growing ever stronger with the support of countless powerful beings; it might completely lose its meaning of inheritance in the future. The Sword Canon had already slowly become a unique type of sanctuary, shaped by the Royal Court, but continually improved and modified by successive Sword Masters, no longer the original Sword Canon. But all is an illusion, even at Sword Sect level, no one can escape the erosion of time... We couldn’t reach the highest realm, we could only hope for the Sword Canon to become perfect, perhaps to use it for ascension at last."

"I failed, and the result of failure is only death. Once the highest path is truly embarked upon, there is no other way but death. Of course, if you do not wish to pursue the ultimate path, the help that the Sword Canon offers you is beyond your imagination... If only I were not seriously injured..." The message ended completely.

Lin Fei’s eyes flickered, and he had a clear definition of the existence of the Sword Canon in his mind.

"It seems that the Sword Canon was created by the Royal Court, but perfected by successive Sword Masters, becoming ever more powerful, and has now become a part of separate inheritance, akin to a Divine Artifact. It’s like a platform connecting countless Sect powerhouses. Holding the initiative, I can continuously unlock powerful beings, establish a vast force, and gain great strength. But once I walk the path he mentioned, there’s no turning back."

"However, these things are still too distant for me. What can be certain is that the Sword Canon is relatively safe, able to use countless powerful beings to continuously supply itself with strength. Also, space can allow the unrevived powerful beings to supply me with True Force, naturally it can also supply itself."

The hall of the Slaughter Holy Hall was like an underground palace, dark, blood-red, and sinister, constantly emitting bursts of the sweet scent of blood.

Lin Fei stood in the center, drawing back his attention.

Naturally, a method to augment the abilities of others surfaced in his mind.

"Now, what I need is a group, a group that craves strength yet cannot have it, and is willing to give up everything for it," Lin Fei murmured softly,

and in an instant he disappeared from the hall.(To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to QiDian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
