A deep blue hue appeared in Daoist Miao's peripheral vision.
He was startled the moment he looked up.
Isn't this the sword he sold to Qin Ze that can only be used for watering flowers?
"The water's here!"
Miss Sword Case shouted joyfully.
Countless tiny streams of water gushed from the tip of the sword, then enveloped the entire flying sword.
Splash--
The water-attribute flying sword transformed into a water dragon, leaping out of the Shelter Space and shielding Qin Ze and Daoist Miao in the middle.
The water dragon's massive body trembled slightly, creating a continuous curtain of water that fell to the ground, instantly extinguishing the surrounding flames.
roar--
Immediately, the water dragon roared and plunged into the seemingly endless passage.
The raging fire that was so arrogant just a second ago turned into docile little creatures after the water dragon passed by.
Qin Ze dispelled the Shelter Space, and he and Daoist Miao were soaked to the bone.
Miss Sword Case was clearly doing this on purpose, showing off her sword to Qin Ze.
The sweltering passageway had become incredibly cool, and the air carried a faint, refreshing scent of moisture.
"How was it? How was it?"
"There's a lot of water!"
Miss Sword Case recalled her flying sword, which hovered beside Qin Ze.
Qin Ze nodded. "Not bad, you deserve credit."
Miss Sword Case Yangyang, "Hehe~"
"I've been raising it for many days!"
As the flames in the passage died down, the Blazing Sun Fire within Daoist Miao's body finally subsided.
He stood up and stared incredulously at the water-attribute flying sword. Was this still the same sword that could only be used to water flowers?
If the facts weren't right in front of him, he would have found it hard to believe that the nearly 100-meter-long water dragon he had just witnessed was produced by a flying sword.
Qin Ze said casually, "The power a sword can unleash depends on the person wielding it."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Miao realized that Qin Ze was a sword cultivator.
It's not that he's bad; it's that the other players are too good.
Although he had witnessed the true power of the water-attribute flying sword, Daoist Miao did not regret selling it to Qin Ze.
Since he'll just be watering flowers anyway, he might as well switch to a pen from the Source of the World.
His only regret was that he sold it too cheaply!
Looking back now, Qin Ze's troubled expression at the time was clearly an act.
Daoist Miao took a deep breath; the Abyss was truly too treacherous.
How are you feeling?
"I feel much better, let's keep going."
After taking a pill, Daoist Miao and Qin Ze continued walking forward.
However, before they had gone even ten steps, flames rose again from the ground and the walls on both sides.
Rumble--
A familiar voice came from the front of the passage, and the raging fire that filled the passage rushed towards them.
Seeing this, Miss Sword Case once again summoned her water-attribute flying sword.
"How dare you!"
"I just taught you a lesson, and you still dare to offend me!"
It seemed that the magical creatures outside inspired her, and Miss Sword Case became playful.
She used the power of water from her water-attribute flying sword to create all sorts of animals.
She immediately extinguished the newly emerged flame.
However, this time the fire seemed endless.
As soon as Miss Sword Case extinguished a fire, flames quickly reignited in the same spot, and the time it took for the fire to reignite was getting shorter and shorter.
It's no longer possible to clear the entire passage instantly like it did at the beginning.
The living space for Qin Ze and Daoist Miao was constantly being compressed by the flames.
Miss Sword Case was gradually losing her strength and could only use her flying sword to maintain a vacuum zone within a few steps around her.
The water-attribute flying sword, which had been raging for less than two minutes, withered and could now only release about as much water as when watering flowers.
" Qin Ze, the water's running out!"
Miss Sword Case realized the seriousness of the situation.
In no more than five minutes, she will have no drops left.
Where's the water?
Miss Sword Case said weakly, "We've raised so many these days, and Zun Du is all gone."
Flames licked at the water-covered walls, and as wisps of steam rose, the walls rapidly shrank.
Seeing this, Daoist Miao shook his head and smiled wryly, "The High Priest must have mistaken you for someone else."
"How could a true inheritor not even be able to get through this passage?"
Qin Ze frowned.
The fire inside the passage was incredibly strong; even the Blazing Sun Fire paled in comparison.
What's the God of God of War up to?
Miss Sword Case grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Is the God of War crazy? Putting the inheritance inside and then roasting the inheritor?"
Qin Ze's eyes lit up. "I know what this passage is for!"
Daoist Miao turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Qin Ze smiled slightly, "You are the successor. Now I will teach you how to break the curse."
Daoist Miao's heart was rekindled with hope.
Qin Ze said, "Turn around, face away from me, and then bend over."
Although he didn't understand what Qin Ze wanted to do, Daoist Miao did as he was told.
Take a breath, are you ready?
Daoist Miao was completely bewildered. "Prepare what?"
Bang--
Qin Ze kicked Daoist Miao in the butt.
Caught off guard, Daoist Miao crashed through the wall of water, sprawling on the ground like a pancake, as the surrounding flames pounced on him like hungry wolves.
As the flames shifted, Qin Ze immediately felt much cooler, with only a small portion of fire still licking the water wall.
Qin Ze murmured, "Just as I predicted."
The flames in the passage were primarily aimed at Daoist Miao; burning him was merely a secondary objective.
The burning Daoist Miao staggered to his feet. "What are you doing?"
The Blazing Sun Fire was now completely out of control, gushing out of his body incessantly and intertwining with the flames in the passage.
Daoist Miao knelt on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "This passage was specially set up for you by the God of War; this is your trial."
"Stand up and walk."
Daoist Miao struggled to his feet and slowly moved forward step by step, gritting his teeth.
Large plumes of white mist rose from his body, spreading amidst the raging flames.
With Daoist Miao drawing the fire, Qin Ze's side had an easier time.
Miss Sword Case was finally able to stabilize the water wall with her water-attribute flying sword.
Qin Ze followed slowly behind Daoist Miao.
As they went deeper, the fire in the passage grew fiercer and the temperature rose higher.
Daoist Miao transformed into a boiling kettle, and the rate at which water vapor evaporated increased dramatically.
Qin Ze seemed to understand the God of War's intention in setting up this passage.
When Daoist Miao reaches the end, the original water-attribute power within his body should be completely drained, leaving only the purest Blazing Sun Fire.
In this way, he no longer needs to worry about suffering a backlash.
How could the God of War from ten thousand years ago know the physical condition of his successor ten thousand years later?
Qin Ze thought of the Little Deer's abilities.
If she becomes a god, will she be able to Deduction events ten thousand years in the future?
At this moment, Qin Ze realized for the first time how terrifying "divine power" was.
He previously thought that God was merely a state of being.
Above Level Nine is Demigod, and then one crosses the Star Gate to become a god.
Godhood is not merely an increase in strength; it also brings with it all sorts of unpredictable and mysterious abilities.
Qin Ze watched Daoist Miao's retreating figure, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
If the God of War could foresee events ten thousand years in the future, how could he possibly fall with such power?
If the God of War had not fallen, the purpose of this inheritance would inevitably lead to much speculation.
