Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6479: Totem

Jian Wushuang could only unlock the fourth level now with his current weakest form. But what if he were at his peak, with nearly a billion in combat power?

“Stop!” he commanded with a thought, summoning Cao Wusheng once again.

“Stop probing. I won’t tell you anything, no matter your purpose in targeting our God Eye Clan. Let me warn you, the God Eye Clan is far more powerful than you imagine. You carry an artifact meant to harm us, and one day, it will lead to your death!”

Jian Wushuang wasn’t fazed by the threat. Pretending to be enraged, he snapped, “It seems you won’t cry until you see the coffin. I gave you a chance, but since you care so little, you’ll die by my hand!”

With that, he attacked, using nothing but his physical strength. He didn’t even need Gui Yun Vine to utterly overpower his opponent.

… “So, this is the God Eye Clan?”

“A mere Tribulation-level warrior, easily trampled by mortals!”

“Is this really all the strength your God Eye Clan possesses?”

Jian Wushuang mocked Cao Wusheng with the simplest words, trying to provoke him into unleashing his full power. At the same time, he edged closer to the Giant Serpent Secret Realm.

Cao Wusheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed. “I won’t lower myself to fight you, but you, a mere mortal, won’t defeat me either!”

Then, his strength surged to the level of a Universe Master. And soon, he broke through to the Seventh Tribulation Realm, unleashing millions of divine power that shattered Jian Wushuang’s body. Luckily, Jian Wushuang’s physical form was strong enough; otherwise, he would’ve been killed by the assault.

Despite the pain, he felt elated inside.

Go crazy! The crazier you get, the greater the reward will be.

Cao Wusheng’s power quickly reached the level of a Universe God, so much that even the Ancient Domain Star couldn’t suppress him anymore.

“Huh?” Cao Wusheng was puzzled. He clearly felt that he had moved far away from the Eighth Mountain, yet he could still unleash such tremendous power.

“Something’s wrong with him!”

But he realized it too late.

Jian Wushuang laughed heartily. “Thanks!”

“Nine Prison Pagoda!”

“Suppress!”

Buzz!

With the aid of Gui Yun Vine’s binding and the suppression of the Nine Prison Pagoda, Cao Wusheng, who was in his peak state, was sealed beneath the pagoda.

“Excellent! This is practically equivalent to suppressing a Universe God-level warrior from the God Eye Clan!” Jian Wushuang’s face lit up with excitement.

Earlier, when he suppressed a supreme warrior, he had unlocked the third level of the pagoda using the third transformation of the God Eye secret technique. What about this time?

With Cao Wusheng’s divine power nearing one billion, how many levels of the Nine Prison Pagoda could he unlock?

Based on his previous observations, Cao Wusheng had likely mastered the sixth transformation. This would be enough for Jian Wushuang to comprehend the Origin Source of the Realm Beast King.

Whether or not he could control it depended on his own abilities.

“Let’s go inside and see.”

He tapped his fingers together and ordered, “Hei Qiu, guide the Ancient Domain Star to a remote place far from the Giant Serpent Secret Realm.”

“Yes, Master!” Hei Qiu nodded immediately.

After making all the arrangements, Jian Wushuang entered the Nine Prison Pagoda.

Ding!

The sound of three consecutive chimes echoed within the tower as beams of light shot upward, finally stopping at the sixth level.

“As expected, with Cao Wusheng’s Universe God-level combat power and mastery of the sixth transformation, this is normal.”

According to his usual practice, Jian Wushuang didn’t immediately go to the sixth level to meet Cao Wusheng. He wanted to maintain an air of mystery and leave Cao Wusheng curious.

More importantly, he needed to study the secret technique.

The fourth level.

A river suddenly flowed through the desolate landscape. It was a river of time. Though weak, it was countless times stronger than the universe on the third level.

“Gather!”

With a single hand gesture, a metal plate appeared in Jian Wushuang’s hand. The patterns on this plate looked similar to the third one he had studied, but as he focused, he felt a dizzying sensation. The profound mysteries it held made his mental energy swell instantly.

Thankfully, both his soul power and thought power were at the level of a supreme expert. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to endure it.

He studied the plate carefully. It felt as though he had walked through countless years along the river of time, though it all seemed to pass in an instant.

“Whew!”

Jian Wushuang opened his eyes again, suddenly feeling an urge to draw his sword. He looked down at his hands—there was no sword!

Buzz!

Yet his thought power automatically formed sword energy, shooting out from the center of his brow.

“The first image seemed like a newborn infant, the second changed the soul, and the third altered power, annihilating everything and rebirthing an unruly Origin Source.”

“As for the fourth image… it feels like…”

It seemed to be something that transcended time and space, just like this realm itself.

Jian Wushuang hadn’t fully comprehended it yet.

Could chaos itself contain the concept of time?

His eyes narrowed. If that were true, it meant creating something from nothing was possible. But fully understanding this would take an enormous amount of time.

Though Jian Wushuang didn’t care much about time, he wasn’t alone. And he longed to leave this world and return to the Realm God Continent, where his brothers, friends, and his mission awaited.

“Let’s see if Gagarin can speed this up for me!”

His current pace was too slow. Only beings like Realm Beasts, who defied the laws of nature, could speed things up as absurdly as needed.

With a thought, Jian Wushuang moved Gagarin to the river of time.

After arriving at this place, Jormungandr transformed into an evil arm, scooping up invisible water from the long river of time and space, playing with it for a moment.

“In such a narrow river of time and space, countless moments are hidden. It seems the one who created this place is already invincible among the Realm Gods of time and space!”

Hearing Jormungandr’s speculation, Jian Wushuang asked in surprise, “Invincible among the Realm Gods of time and space? How do they compare to you?”

“I am no match for them at the level of the Realm Gods,” Jormungandr replied honestly.

Jian Wushuang wasn’t too surprised.

The Nine Prison Pagoda was a supreme treasure meant to suppress the Divine Eye Clan, so naturally, it was extraordinary.

Not to mention a Realm God, even a Star God could be involved.

“Jian Wushuang, you didn’t transport me here out of the goodness of your heart to help me regain my strength, did you?” Jormungandr sneered. He had always felt that Jian Wushuang harbored some ill intent toward him.

Although the two of them were becoming more alike, Jormungandr still maintained a sense of vigilance toward Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang, however, got straight to the point. “I brought you here to ask for a small favor.”

“A favor from me?” Jormungandr was taken aback before exclaiming, “You don’t want to devour me, do you?”

“You’re overthinking it. I just need you to accelerate time for me, as slowly as possible without interfering with my thought power.”

Jormungandr finally let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “Fine!”

“But you have to agree to one condition. I can sense that the sixth level is open. When the time comes, can you let me enter the sixth level to comprehend it?”

“Agreed!” Jian Wushuang readily agreed.

Buzz!

The entire river of time and space began to collapse and condense.

It eventually turned into a thatched hut.

This was formed from the river of time and space.

In other words, the entire river had transformed into a small thatched hut.

The flow of time within it was beyond imagination.

“It’s been slowed down by a billion times!”

Jian Wushuang was shocked in his heart!

It had to be a Realm Beast.

Indeed, such creatures were terrifyingly powerful.

He took a deep breath, calming his mind.

The first time he had comprehended the fourth metal plate, it had taken him a hundred years.

This time, he wouldn’t care about the time, only the result.

He would not come out until he succeeded.
