As though it had seen the layers of confusion in Sikong Jing's eyes, the totem spirit spoke again...
"You'll understand soon enough."
The moment its words fell, another booming buzz erupted.
The surrounding environment changed drastically. Sikong Jing seemed to have been drawn into a strange space, one that resembled a dark and shadowy sea, with terrifying ghostly yin and baleful energy all around.
In an instant, Sikong Jing felt as if he had entered a vast ocean composed of ghostly yin and baleful energy.
Before Sikong Jing could fully adjust, the totem spirit's voice softly rang out by his ear...
"This is the core of the Sword Extinction Totem, formed from the Sword Extinction Burial Emperor Sword, the Sword Extinction Killing Path, and ghostly yin and baleful energy."
"The Sword Extinction Burial Emperor Sword is currently bestowing its inheritance upon my new master. It has extended beyond the Sword Extinction Totem and bound my new master."
"The ghostly yin and baleful energy is counterattacking, seeking to destroy my new master..."
"The Sword Extinction Killing Path is slaughtering the ghostly yin and baleful energy, but it is no longer enough. That is why you must comprehend the Sword Extinction Killing Path and help it sever this counterattack of ghostly yin and baleful energy. Otherwise, my new master will be destroyed by the ghostly spirits."
"Otherwise, the Sword Extinction Totem will also be completely blasted apart and turned into fragments."
As the totem spirit explained, Sikong Jing's gaze swept over his surroundings before lifting toward the space above this sea of baleful energy.
At the very top of the sea of baleful energy...
Streams of terrifying sword intent stretched outward as if piercing the heavens. These sword intents were the Sword Extinction Burial Emperor Sword, thrusting out to bind Teng Bahun
