Chapter 1415 Giantʼs Sword

1415 Giantʼs Sword

As Yuan soared through the Vanishing Valley at neck-breaking speed, he heard a chilling voice resound from behind.

”Fragment… of… outer god…!”

”Brother Yuan! That thing is chasing after you!” Xiao Hua alerted him in a nervous voice.

”Why now?! It didnʼt follow us before!” Yuan cried out loud.

He turned to look back, and sure enough, the Black Death was chasing after him with large strides.

It was a terrifying scene straight from horror movies, sending chills throughout Yuanʼs body.

He gritted his teeth and tossed several sword lights infused with Enhanced Sword Aura at the Black Death.

As the sword lights made contact with the Black Death, they penetrated its body, vanishing within it.

”?!?” Yuan was baffled by what heʼd just witnessed. The Enhanced Sword Aura had completely vanished within the Black Deathʼs body, almost as though they were erased from existence.

”Dong Ye! Does the Black Death have any weaknesses?!” Yuan shouted out loud, hoping Dong Ye could hear him.

A few moments later, Dong Ye responded, but it was not what Yuan had hoped to hear, ”Regrettably, the Black Death possesses no discernible weakness. Anything it comes into contact with perishes, whether it be spiritual energy or treasures. In essence, that entity is effectively invincible.”

”Well, I am being chased by said invincible being right now! Do you have any advice to get me out of this situation?” he asked.

”What…? Why would the Black Death chase after you, my liege? Itʼs known for ignoring everything even when provoked. Are you sure itʼs not a coincidence the Black Death is moving in your direction?”

”Coincidence, my ass! Itʼs literally running after me!” he cried.

Dong Ye frowned when he heard this, and he pondered whether he should intervene in this situation or let fate handle it like usual.

ʼNo… Fate led him to the Vanishing Valley for a reason. I cannot intervene, or my liege will grind these old bones once he fully recovers his memories…ʼ Dong Ye quickly came to a decision.

He then said, ”You are not fated to die in the Vanishing Valley, my liege. Just do whatever you usually do.”

”Thanks for the help!” Yuan exclaimed in a sarcastic tone.

He continued soaring toward the Giantʼs Sword over the next several days, ignoring all of the magical beasts he encountered, even the ones that attacked him.

After all, even if he didnʼt lift an arm, the Black Death chasing after him would kill them with a simple touch.

During these several days, Yuan analyzed the Black Death as he escaped from it. He noticed that none of the magical beasts there were able to see or sense the Black Death, almost as though it was invisible to them. It didnʼt matter if these beasts had Immortal Qi or not, and because none of them could sense the Black Death, some would walk into its path and unknowingly perish.

One could consider the Black Death as a type of ʼfateʼ for magical beasts, as it could not be seen or anticipated by them until it was already too late. Moreover, this kind of fate only leads the beasts to their death.

The best that the magical beasts within the Vanishing Valley could do was to pray that they werenʼt destined to cross paths with the Black Death, much like how humans could only hope they werenʼt fated to perish at any given moment.

As Yuan came to this realization, he sensed something change within him, almost as if something had awakened. However, he was too busy running away from the Black Death to think about it.

Suddenly, Yuan noticed the Black Death slowing down.

ʼHuh? Why is it stopping?ʼ Yuan didnʼt think for a second that the Black Death might have gotten tired of chasing after him and quickly deduced that it was probably unwilling to approach the Giantʼs Sword for some reason.

Seeing this, he continued approaching the Giantʼs Sword.

The Black Death eventually stopped chasing after him and disappeared. However, without realizing it, Yuan had gotten much closer to the Giantʼs Sword than heʼd anticipated. Although Senior Bai had warned him to not get too close to the Giantʼs Sword, he wanted to see the mentioned spirit even if it was just a glimpse.

Yuan stopped his movements to stare at the majestic sword in the distance, his gaze filled with awe.

The Giantʼs Sword was unlike anything Yuan had encountered before. Its blade boasted intricate engravings, adding to its allure. Yet, what captivated Yuanʼs attention the most was undeniably the enigmatic aura emanating from the sword.

The aura bore a resemblance to both Sword Aura and Enhanced Sword Aura, yet it possessed an entirely distinct quality that was unfathomably stronger and sharper.

As though he was mesmerized by it, Yuan stared at the sword with a dazed look on his face.

Ding!

”Even the system cannot identify it?” Yuan muttered to himself as he saw the notice.

Suddenly, before he could even take a moment to contemplate the mysterious aura, Yuanʼs entire body shuddered, as if it were warning him of imminent danger.

He instinctively used his movement technique.

The very instant Yuan moved, a potent sword aura descended upon the spot where he had stood just a split second ago, blowing away the black fog and creating a massive ten-mile-

long sword mark in the ground. This sword mark was also so deep that one would not be able to see the bottom with their bare eyes.

Yuan stared at the sword mark with wide eyes, his back soaked in cold sweat.

ʼFuck! Even my regeneration ability wouldnʼt be able to save me if I was struck by such a devastating attack!ʼ he cried inwardly.

”Brother Yuan! Look at the top of the sword!” Xiao Hua suddenly said.

Yuan lifted his gaze to the very top of the Giantʼs Sword, where a silhouette that hadnʼt been there moments before silently observed him.

ʼThe spirit!ʼ Yuan immediately recognized the identity of this silhouette even though he couldnʼt see its appearance.
