Inside the hospital room.
Chu Tiannan stared speechlessly at the empty room, finding the sudden silence a little hard to adjust to.
"I need to get discharged first thing tomorrow. Staying here really is uncomfortable." Chu Tiannan frowned slightly and swept his right hand out.
Hum!
The space his hand swept through seemed to resonate. After a faint tremor, dark-gold light instantly illuminated the entire room.
The next second, under Chu Tiannan's dumbfounded gaze, a hundred dark-gold longswords slowly appeared as though tearing through space.
Once the entire sword had appeared before Chu Tiannan, the rift behind its pommel instantly sealed itself.
Though it happened incredibly fast, Chu Tiannan still caught a glimpse, leaving him utterly shocked.
"S... stars?"
No!
After thinking it over carefully, Chu Tiannan realized with shock that it was not a starry sky at all.
"Devour!"
Chu Tiannan immediately summoned the system.
Host! You have activated the Heaven-Deriving Sword. What do you need me for?
"Tell me, who exactly is the owner of this Heaven-Deriving Sword?" Chu Tiannan looked excited.
"Are they from the cosmos?"
Chu Tiannan asked because he wanted confirmation.
Yes, host!
After a long while, the Devouring System, which had given no response before, answered. Chu Tiannan nodded.
Just as I thought!
"Then can you tell me just who this sword's owner is?" Chu Tiannan promptly asked.
Host, I do not have authorization to answer your questions. I am only a system.
With that, the Devouring System fell silent and gave no further response.
"The cosmos..." Chu Tiannan sat up, rubbing his chin with his right hand as a gleam flashed through his eyes.
"Damn it, my memories have been sealed. Did someone tamper with me before I was reborn?" Chu Tiannan frowned deeply.
He discovered that he had actually lost all his memories of what came after the cosmos. Even his knowledge of the cosmos was like that of Earth's people.
It was all vague, containing no useful or valuable information.
"Forget it. I'll take things one step at a time." Chu Tiannan's gaze was as cold as a sword's edge. He knew someone must have tampered with him in his previous life.
Clearly, that mighty figure who had tampered with him.
Feared his existence and was afraid he would make a comeback!
"Just wait. I'll be back," Chu Tiannan murmured, then stopped thinking about the matter.
The young man's gaze swept over the Heaven-Deriving Sword floating beside him, and he reached out to grasp it.
Thump!
At that moment, Chu Tiannan felt as though he had activated the sword. It was like a connection through their blood, making him feel incredibly comfortable.
"What incredible power!" Chu Tiannan handled the Heaven-Deriving Sword, discovering that compared to this, his previous complimentary trial experience.
Was worlds apart.
Feeling the sword quietly pulse like a heart, Chu Tiannan hurriedly put it away, afraid someone might covet it.
"So this is the true Heaven-Deriving Sword... With this sword, I reckon even a high-level martial master would be no match for me. I could even fight a peak-level martial master."
Just thinking about it made Chu Tiannan feel the battle-hungry blood within him boil.
As a demon dragon in his previous life, he had been deeply bloodthirsty by nature.
"What a shame that all I have is my soul from my previous life. Even just activating my demon dragon bloodline would do." Chu Tiannan shook his head with a wry smile.
He knew that once he possessed the demon dragon bloodline, reaching the pinnacle on Earth would only be a matter of time.
"Martial god level?" Chu Tiannan looked out the window, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, his sharp eyes.
Filled with fighting spirit!
I'm going to be stronger than martial god level!
Boom!
Suddenly, Chu Tiannan felt as though something above his head had suffered a tremendous impact, nearly shaking him onto the floor.
"What the hell is going on?" Startled, Chu Tiannan ran to the window and looked up, his pupils contracting.
"Screee!" An enormous two-headed bird let out an ear-piercing cry, causing cracks to appear in the glass before Chu Tiannan.
Boom!
The massive demon beast plunged down and slammed into an invisible protective layer above the base city. No matter how much force it exerted.
It could not break through the energy protecting the base city.
"This thing... must be close to martial god level..." Chu Tiannan murmured, staring in shock at the enormous two-headed bird overhead.
Chu Tiannan felt utterly insignificant before it.
The two-headed bird could probably destroy towering buildings with a mere breath.
Perhaps realizing it could not break through the base city's defenses, the two-headed bird, dozens of zhang in size, let out a long cry.
And vanished!
After the interruption with the giant bird, Chu Tiannan returned to bed.
"Forget it. I won't think about anything so far off for now. What matters right now is passing next month's martial artist assessment."
"But I can't let anyone find out about the Heaven-Deriving Sword's devouring effect. I'm weak. If I don't keep a low profile and draw someone's covetous attention, I'll be in trouble."
After making a simple plan, Chu Tiannan had everything ready. He looked out the window again with a cold smile.
Before that, naturally, he had to settle the matter with Luo Ji.
