Sword Saint

Nia City.

This once-shining jewel of the Federation has now been reduced to ruins, and even more so, extremely dangerous ruins of the Spirit World.

Various kinds of Spirit World creatures roam among them, including many monsters 'mutated' from the local natives!

"The Evil Eye of Madness?"

Siso's gaze swept over a corner, his voice low and deep.

"Previously, someone was collecting Evil Eye of Madness on a large scale. The Federation suspected it was an Imperial spy trying to use the appeal of race and bloodline to locate this place..." Schumacher said in a deep voice, "All suspects have been apprehended and executed!"

His voice was icy cold, carrying a chilling killing intent.

Sulu knew very well that the other party was one of the powerful figures dispatched by the Federation to be stationed on the Dark Continent for a long time, and whose hands were stained with the blood of countless alien races.

When someone like that gets angry, an ordinary person might be scared to death!

"As for the Dream of the Ancient God? This is just the outer perimeter; the true core is a Dark Forest," Alsen continued.

'It seems... not only was Nia City discovered, but even that passage wasn't spared the search, which is quite normal...'

Sulu remained silent, following the two legends of the Church of Light, until they arrived at the passage to the Dream of the Ancient God.

"Inside is a Dark Forest... and it has a special characteristic: you can only truly 'see' it if someone tells you the most important location... I will point out the most important mountain Mountain Peak to you once we're inside."

Alsen led the way in.

A layer of crimson appeared on his body, and a ferocious giant axe appeared in his right hand.

[The Great Axe Executioner]!

The professionals on this path possess formidable melee abilities, their axe skills are unparalleled, and of course, most importantly, they have the abilities of an 'Executioner,' which have a touch of 'Death Law,' perfectly complementing Alsen's role.

'This feeling...'

Sulu was somewhat taken aback: 'It's somewhat similar to the Axe of the Headless Demon...'

The Axe of the Headless Demon possesses the characteristic of 'true damage,' making it incredibly terrifying. However, Sulu was astonished to discover that Alsen's axe might also possess this ability!

"Could it be... that the Headless Demon was once an Great Axe Executioner? Cursed by Demon, he became Cursed Spirit?"

Sulu couldn't help but have some guesses.

But the next moment, Alsen's tall figure had already entered the passage first.

A legend followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Sulu shrugged and followed behind.

The Dark Forest remained the same as before, with numerous arm-like branches twisting and pointing in one direction.

"There, there is a Mountain Peak!"

Alsen pointed to a void, and as soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black Mountain Peak suddenly 'emerged' in Siso's eyes, which had been empty.

"This... is truly unbelievable."

Siso murmured, glancing at Sulu.

Others may not know, but he and the Chief were very clear that Sulu possessed the ability to ' Spirit World Travel '. Dunstan sent Sulu on this mission precisely because he relied on the other's strength.

This is especially true in such dangerous places.

Thinking of this, Siso unconsciously moved closer to Sulu.

Sure enough, they were there!

Upon seeing the main peak, the auras of the numerous fifth-tier cultivators were not concealed and were arrogantly released, which was immediately noticed by Schumacher, who couldn't help but snort coldly.

"That's... a legendary professional from the Empire? He's incredibly strong!"

The Chris Empire is the overlord of the Old Continent, ancient and mysterious, possessing an incredible number of heritages.

Even among fifth-tier professionals, the Empire's legend still surpasses that of the Federation.

Five! There are five legends on the other side!

Sulu was struck by Inspiration, but his expression became solemn.

In the past, where had he ever witnessed more than ten legends appearing simultaneously?

'As expected, the higher the rank, the wider the world one sees... But have these five legends from the Chris Empire come here for so long, and it's all in vain?'

Sulu roughly understood that this was still his fault.

Since his sneak in last time, it has triggered a series of chain reactions, the most crucial of which is that the mountaintop Temple has disappeared!

That is the Sivinardo's God Tomb, which holds a great secret.

Now it has vanished without a trace, and whatever the legends of the Chris Empire may want to do, they can only watch helplessly.

'Huh? Why are they only at level five too?'

Sulu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and another thought came to mind.

The seventh tier is the realm of gods, and it is difficult for any professional to surpass it. However, mythical-level professionals of the sixth tier still appear in the long history of epic tales.

Why hasn't anyone appeared yet?

'Either the Spirit Tide's resurgence isn't strong enough to unlock the seal of ancient beings at the mythical level? Or perhaps the Federation and the Chris Empire have reached some tacit agreement to focus on the fifth tier in the struggle, since the sixth tier is already the peak for most extraordinary beings, and if they were to fight, the implications would be too far-reaching and the destructive power too terrifying?'

"So it was them?"

Alsen seemed to recognize the professional on the other side and said to Sulu and the others, "The newcomers are the hereditary dukes of the Chris Empire — the Wales Family. Their family is famous for the path of [Cursed Swordsman]."

[Cursed Swordsman] is a special job advancement, and its combat power is absolutely top-tier among the third tier.

Its fourth tier is the ordinary advancement [Weapon Master], proficient in using various weapons, which can be considered as ordinary.

However, the ancestors of the Wales Family, based on the [Weapon Master], specialized in swordsmanship and created a terrifying profession - the fifth-tier [Sword Saint]!

The [Sword Saint] class requires players to abandon metal armor and defense, making them extremely vulnerable.

But their attack power is incredibly strong!

The sharp longswords in their hands were just as powerful as the axes of the [Great Axe Executioner].

More importantly, their swords possess a special ability— to Magic Breaking!

Even a legendary fifth-tier spell can be annihilated by a single sword strike!

This description almost made Sulu think that those sword immortals from the East who could break through all laws with a single sword had traveled through time.

"Cough cough..."

Lawrence's expression changed drastically. As a [Red-Robed Archbishop] of the faith faction, his abilities mainly lay in various divine spells. Needless to say, if he encountered a [Sword Saint], he would definitely be killed by a single sword strike.

"The Church the Seven Gods will not allow an Evil God to be resurrected... Nor would the Chris Empire dare to do so," he stated confidently.

"Of course I believe in the Seven True Gods Church, but I'm not so sure about the Chris Empire... The presence of the Wales Family here at least has the emperor's tacit approval..."

Alsen gave a cold laugh.

As for why tacit approval was granted?

Perhaps the imperial family doesn't want to resurrect an Evil God, but they certainly hope to find a way to become a god.

It's no secret that the royal family wants a new god to emerge from the sixth rank who share the same bloodline.

As they spoke, the six of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, several figures appeared, blocking the path that Sulu and his companions could only take.
