257 Overwhelming Power (1/2)

”Little Xie, please, just do it for me,” An Lin implored

The Evil-Slaying Sword remained unmoving like a piece of scrap metal.

An Lin blushed as he glanced up at everyone.

F*ck, so awkward!

”Haha, it's OK, maybe it's because your sword is too tired and doesn't want to move,” Xu Xiaolan immediately offered up words of consolation.

She did not know whether An Lin's Evil-Slaying Sword truly had a sword spirit or not, but it was probably a good idea to dispel this awkward situation, so she felt like it was necessary for her to offer some comforting words.

An Lin nodded with disappointment and picked up the Evil-Slaying Sword.

Something suddenly appeared in his mind; it was a mission assigned to him by the system.

Stage One Divine Weapon Origin Energy—Condition: Successfully nurture a weapon spirit.

His Evil-Slaying Sword clearly already had a sword spirit. It could even cuss him out, so hadn't he fulfilled the conditions of the mission already?

”Xiaolan, if my Evil-Slaying Sword can talk, does that mean it has sword spirit?” An Lin asked in confusion.

Xu Xiaolan shook her head. ”Of course not. When an immortal sword successfully nurtures a spirit, the sword spirit can detach itself from the sword and manifest a body for itself. An immortal sword that knows how to talk can only mean that it has acquired intelligence and is in the stage of conjuring a spirit!”

An Lin was a little disappointed. He naturally knew many ways to nurture a spirit within a weapon, but these methods all differed depending on the weapon, and he did not know which method would apply to the Evil-Slaying Sword.

”Little Xie, Little Xie… tell me how to nurture a spirit within you?” An Lin asked the sword.

The Evil-Slaying Sword remained completely silent and motionless.

An Lin: ”…”

Alright, I give up.

This was an arrogant and haughty sword, and its trashy owner was not worthy of hearing it speak.

After resting for a short while, everyone set off to the last palace.

The most mysterious and most fearsome place in the Winter Dragon Tomb—Palace of Heaven!

The last two groups of cultivators that had entered the Palace of Heaven never returned.

An Lin looked up at the palace emitting holy white light with a sense of uneasiness stirring in his heart.

The light seemed to represent everything that was beautiful and good in this world, creating an irresistible allure. If one was to stare at the light for too long, they would develop an uncontrollable urge to charge into the palace.

The Palace of Heaven was extremely huge, spanning an area around a dozen times larger than the average palace. The huge floating rock upon which the Palace of Heaven was situated appeared like the head of a dragon from a bird's eye view, exuding an imposing aura.

”Same thing again. Gundam One and Gundam Two will lead from the front, we'll run if the enemy is too strong,” An Lin instructed.

Gundam One and Gundam Two pushed the door open, and An Lin and the others followed along with their bodies tensed in anticipation.

”Huh? Why is there no one here?” An Lin was slightly taken aback by the scene before him.

The interior of the palace was not very luxurious, but it had a sophisticated yet antiquated feel. The light, fragrant aroma of wood wafted throughout the air. There seemed to be nothing dangerous or intimidating in the palace.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

At the center of the palace was a pillar of white light which shot straight into the heavens; that was most likely the source of the light emanating from the Palace of Heaven.

From the exterior, the holy light appeared extremely alluring, but from the interior, the holy light gave off a sense of tranquil serenity.

Before everyone had a chance to explore, a humanoid figure suddenly materialized in front of the pillar of light.

Gundam One and Gundam Two immediately activated their Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation, enshrouding everyone in a film of blue light.

A white sword projection slashed toward them in a flash.

Boom!

The white sword projection collided with the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation, sending violent shockwaves of energy radiating outwards.

The blue film of light began to tremble violently for the first time as if it was on the brink of collapse.

The attack came extremely abruptly, affording no time to formulate a defense. Fortunately, Gundam One and Gundam Two were robots with extreme reflexes and were able to defend against the surprise attack.

”Oh? Those mechanical puppets are interesting. Are they the inventions of the Purple Star?”

An ethereal, heavenly voice suddenly sounded from afar.

The figure in front of the pillar of light descended to the ground, revealing itself to be a tall and slender woman in a white dress.

An Lin focused his gaze on the figure and was greeted to the sight of an exquisitely beautiful woman who resembled the most perfect Celestial Maiden. There was a pair of extraordinarily intricate silver dragon horns on her head.

An Lin had only one glance, but he felt like he could no longer shift his gaze away.

Those dragon horns were like the epitome of perfection.

They were even more alluring than the heavenly features of the woman herself. He felt like he would fall under their control if he was to look at them any longer.

Not only An Lin, but even Xu Xiaolan, Da Bai, and Xiao Chou were staring at the pair of dragon horns, all of them completely transfixed…

They were even contemplating whether the pair of dragon horns would be the final reward in the Palace of Heaven.

If that really was the case, they would not be surprised at all. They would instead think that it was the most suitable prize among all!
