“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the World-Transcending Sword

Master’s…Soul Stealing Technique!” Ye Ruxue pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

In her previous life, although she did not vie for the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance, she was aware of who ultimately inherited it. She had also witnessed firsthand the methods of the new generation World-Transcending Sword Master. Thus, she had some understanding regarding these guardians’ origins.

“Soul Stealing Technique?” Su Chen’s gaze betrayed surprise upon hearing this. This divine power was most unfamiliar to him. In fact…he had never even heard of it before.

“That’s right. The Soul Stealing Technique is a divine power created by the World-Transcending Sword Master. He extracts powerful living beings’ divine souls, and then implants them within puppets. This way, one can refine guardians like those before us now. Furthermore, the flaw in these guardians lies within their Violet Cavities. There exists a spiritual pearl, the cardinal support maintaining them. Without shattering this pearl, then no matter how many times they might be destroyed, revival remains possible.” Ye Ruxue transmitted thusly.

“Oh? 1 did not expect the World-Transcending Sword Master’s methods to be so ruthless.” Su Chen raised his brows, an unexpected look on his face. He had a.s.sumed the World-Transcending Sword Master was quite benevolent. After all, from the name “World-Transcending” alone, that could be inferred.

Yet what caught him wholly unprepared was this World-Transcending Sword Master’s conduct and style being so vicious. Extracting living souls was no ordinary behavioral tendency. Such deeds were enormously taboo. Of course, appropriateness depended on the target. If attempted by someone of insignificant cultivation, they would likely be instantly killed.

However, matters differed regarding the World-Transcending Sword Master. Even acting overtly thus, others would still sing his praises without objection. This was the unique privilege of strength!

“In that case, pa.s.sing this gate should not be overly difficult!” Su Chen examined the guardian before them, then sent a whispered transmission after some reflection.

“For you, it may be simple. But not necessarily so for others.” Ye Ruxue said resignedly, “The minimum strength of these guardians is at the peak stage of the Saint Realm. With each trespa.s.ser upon this path comes an additional guardian. Moreover…their power accords to the challenger’s capability. All of you stand at the Great Saint Realm, hence these guardians share equivalent alt.i.tude. Still…what makes me curious is how your cultivation progressed so swiftly. Precisely how do you cultivate?”

Earlier, the updates she had received placed Su Chen at the Saint Realm. Thus she invited his a.s.sistance. After all, at his Saint Realm level, at most peak-stage Saint Realm opposition awaited here.

Yet catching her wholly off guard today was Su Chen already attaining the Great Saint Realm! Saint. Great Saint! A single word’s difference, yet the disparity in strength like heaven and earth.

“That is my secret.” Hearing her, Su Chen feigned mysteriousness, casually smiling in response.

“You…” Ye Ruxue’s previously eager visage froze upon this. Innumerable possibilities had crossed her mind, yet Su Chen’s frankness still caught her unprepared…

“Hehe… I will naturally tell you in the future.” Seeing her stymied, Su Chen chuckled thusly.

Ye Ruxue faintly curled her lip at this. She did not believe Su Chen would divulge such secrets to her. After all, she had not disclosed her greatest secret either. As the two conversed, time silently flowed by. In but a few blinks, a dozen minutes had pa.s.sed.

On Su Chen’s side, the battlefield was still holding up well. However, on the side of the white-haired elder, it seemed to be showing signs of struggling. Of those present, he was the weakest. Facing a peak-stage Great Saint Realm for so long, by now danger and defeat loomed near. Not faring much better was the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man despite his puissance.

Confronting two peak-stage Great Saint Realm powerhouses simultaneously, even his peerless talent harbored mortal stakes.

“Fellow Daoists! Why do you tarry still? If this persists, I fear we shall all perish here!” the white-haired elder shouted anxiously.

Everyone present grasped hidden cards except himself. Whether Su Chen or the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man, either could readily triumph over these four guardians. However, Su Chen and the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan were exceptionally patient. Neither of them wanted to waste their trump cards. If this continued, the white-haired old man acknowledged that he might be the first one to fall.

“That white-haired elder poses no threat! But that Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man does wield some skill and a hidden weapon. Can you restrict him briefly?” Su Chen whispered to Ye Ruxue after glimpsing that middle-aged figure. Previously beyond, he once emitted the aura of a precious treasure, boldly claiming that it was a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon.

Even Su Chen found such a weapon most th.o.r.n.y. If it were a one-on-one encounter, Su Chen would naturally have no fear. However, within a short period, he might find it difficult to deal with the opponent. If both sides were to become deadlocked, he was worried that a chaotic situation might arise.

“A trifle. Leave him to me.” Ye Ruxue chuckled lightly.

For a fleeting moment, splendor graced her peerless features as though time itself stood still.

“I have already deciphered most of the formations here these days. Though impotent against the guardians, more than sufficient to constrain others.”

The formations here were left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master and naturally posed no threat or influence on the guardians.

But Su Chen’s group would face enormous jeopardy. Let alone approaching with a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon, even bearing a genuine Great Emperor Realm weapon scarcely guaranteed self-preservation.

“If that’s the case, then everything is manageable.” Hearing her, Su Chen’s heart calmed somewhat as his gaze s.h.i.+fted to that Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man, resolute intentions brewing..
