Chapter 528: Minimum 60% Amplification
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
Swish!
A sword light that was swift to the limit flashed.
Right at this instant, 4,200 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form above Duan Ling Tian…
Besides the white color that belonged to Origin Energy, there was another strand of violet and a strand of azure within the sword light.
This sword strike of Duan Ling Tian’s contained the 60% amplification of the grade four spirit sword that amplified his base strength of 2,000 ancient mammoths…
The amplification was the strength of 1,200 ancient mammoth silhouettes!
Besides that, the Half-step Advanced Lightning Force and Half-step Advanced Wind Force bestowed the strength of 1,000 ancient mammoths onto Duan Ling Tian.
In total, it was the strength of 4,200 ancient mammoths!
In terms of strength, he was even stronger than the bandit’s Sixth Leader!
Most importantly, the Sword Drawing Arts that Duan Ling Tian had executed now was originally adept at speed.
His strength was stronger than the Sixth Leader, combined with the speed of his Sword Drawing Arts…
The speed of the sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand completely crushed the speed of the saber in the hands of the Sixth Leader.
Swish!
A clear sound resounded out, and practically all the bandits present didn’t see Duan Ling Tian’s movements clearly.
Whirlwind!
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s figure flashed to dodge to the side.
Whereas the sword in the hand of Sixth Leader fiercely flashed towards the place Duan Ling Tian was standing earlier.
But his movements still didn’t change in the slightest even after Duan Ling Tian had left the spot.
Of course, it wasn’t that the reaction of Sixth Leader was slow, but was instead that a fine rip had appeared on the throat of the Sixth Leader, and then it started to spew out dazzling and resplendent blood.
Blood splattered all over the floor and seemed to have transformed into numerous red roses.
Clang!
The Sixth Leader and his saber were carried away fiercely by momentum, and they scraped the floor all the way.
After a short moment, the Sixth Leader lay there on the ground and was completely devoid of any signs of life.
Dead!
Silent!
The spacious cave was deathly silent as all the bandits were dumbstruck.
In the blink of an eyes, the Sixth Leader that was the strongest amongst them and the first level Void Prying Stage bandit that was the Sixth Leader’s right hand man were both killed, and the scene before them almost made them unable to recover from their shock.
After a short while, the bandits all went ghastly pale after they recovered from their shock.
"Flee!"
"Flee!"
…
When facing the violet clothed young man that had killed two Void Prying Stage experts in the blink of an eye, they didn’t have the slightest battle intent and only thought of fleeing this place right away.
But would they be able to flee?
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
Along with the grade four spirit sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand flashing, the bandits perished beneath his sword one after the other.
"Lord, spare me!"
"Spare me!! Lord!!"
…
The numerous bandits pleaded for mercy ceaselessly.
But Duan Ling Tian was currently like a bloodthirsty asura that had crawled out from hell, and he reaped the lives of the bandits to his heart’s content.
Not long after, the spacious cave had returned to calm, as all the bandits were dead!
"Grade four spirit sword!" Chi Ming who’d followed Duan Ling Tian in and was concealed at the side long ago had finally recovered from his shock.
When Duan Ling Tian attacked and killed the Sixth Leader, he’d guessed that the spirit sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand might be a grade four spirit sword…
But he didn’t dare confirm his suspicions.
After all, a grade four spirit sword was too shocking!
Normally speaking, a grade four Weapons Craftsman was only present within those dynasties.
Moreover, they were exceedingly rare.
"Duan Ling Tian knows a grade four Weapons Craftsman?" Chi Ming was greatly shocked, and he gasped in his heart.
As far as he was concerned, since Duan Ling Tian had a grade four spirit sword in his possession, it meant that Duan Ling Tian had a good relationship with a grade four Weapons Craftsman.
"I originally thought he was only a Seven Star Sword Sect disciple… I never imagined that he was related to a grade four Weapons Craftsman." Chi Ming sighed in his heart.
"Vice Dean Chi, please do the count." After he put away all the spoils of the battle, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze shot onto Chi Ming once more.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian left the cave and followed along the passageway to arrive outside.
Duan Ling Tian wasn’t anxious to leave, and he counted his spoils as he waited for Chi Ming.
Firstly, Duan Ling Tian withdrew the Spatial Ring of the Sixth Leader.
Similar to the Spatial Ring of the Ninth Elder, there was a large amount of gold and silver…
But these things didn’t have much allure to Duan Ling Tian.
"This is…" Before long, Duan Ling Tian notice a dim green colored pearl within the Sixth Leader’s Spatial Ring.
The reason this pearl caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention was entirely because when Duan Ling Tian’s Spiritual Force touched the pearl, a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Force was transmitted from it.
Of course, the Spiritual Force fluctuation within the pearl was without an owner.
"What’s going on?" Not only that, Duan Ling Tian also noticed that when his Spiritual Force touched the dim green pearl, the Spiritual Force within had actually gradually fused in his Spiritual Force and ceaselessly strengthened his Spiritual Force.
"What exactly is this pearl?" Under his curiosity, Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes and searched the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor to see if there are any record of this pearl.
"Soul Peal?" In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian found records relating to this pearl.
A Soul Pearl was an existence similar to a spirit fruit.
Ordinarily speaking, if one used special methods to gather the Lunaray Force, then there would be a chance to condense it into a Soul pearl after a few tens of years.
Lunaray Force was the energy of the moon in the night sky.
The Soul Pearl was sourced from pure Lunaray Force and it contained Spiritual Force that was able to easily fuse into the Spiritual Force of a human.
"Ordinarily speaking, there are methods to gather Lunaray Force and condense a Soul Pearl, and an Inscription Formation is one of those methods." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
It was precisely because of this that the Rebirth Martial Emperor would know of the existence of Soul Pearls.
During his prime, the Rebirth Martial Emperor had once gathered Lunaray Force with an Inscription Formation and condensed a Soul Pearl to bestow upon his personal disciple.
A Soul Pearl was able to improve Spiritual Force.
Although its effects weren’t great, it wouldn’t be like spirit fruits that have diminishing medicinal effect after each consumption.
So long as one had sufficient Soul Pearls, one’s Spiritual Force could be improved directly.
Of course, a heaven-defying item like a Soul Peal had some limitations.
A Soul Pearl was at most able to improve the Spiritual Force of a martial artist or demon beast below the Martial Monarch Stage.
Once one’s Spiritual Force stepped into the Martial Monarch Stage, the Soul Pearl wouldn’t have any effect any longer.
"Hmm? My Spiritual Force has broken through?" When Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses, he noticed that his Spiritual Force had actually broken through.
It had broken through to the third level of the Void Prying Stage!
Although it was only the breakthrough of his Spiritual Force, Duan Ling Tian was still wildly happy.
"Although there were some differences between the characteristics of a Soul Pearl and a Spirit Fruit, it was no different to a Spirit Fruit in pushing forward the level of Spiritual Force later on!
"Later on, once my cultivation breaks through to the second level of the Void Prying Stage, my Spiritual Force will be pushed to the fourth level of the Void Prying Stage! It will forever maintain being two levels higher than my cultivation." Duan Ling Tian’s gaze descended onto the Soul Pearl.
Presently, the dim green colored Soul Pearl had become a crystalline and translucent crystal pearl.
Pop!
It with at this moment that the ‘crystal pearl’ was enveloped by Duan Ling Tian’s Spiritual Force and instantly shattered into bits before vanishing without a trace.
"As a miraculous item that is able to improve the Spiritual Force of a Void Transformation Stage expert, the effects of a Soul Pearl were small as expected… My Spiritual Force was only at the first level of the Void Prying Stage, and after consuming a Soul Pearl, it actually only advanced to the third level of the Void Prying Stage." Duan Ling Tian sighed in his heart.
He could imagine that the higher the level of his Spiritual Force, he would need to absorb even more Soul Pearls to break through.
"I wonder where this Sixth Leader obtained the Soul Pearl." Duan Ling Tian noticed that there was only one Soul Pearl within the Sixth Leader’s Spatial Ring, and it caused him to be unable to help himself from being disappointed.
"But, my Spiritual Force advancing to the third level of the Void Prying Stage can be considered to be an unexpected cause for happiness." In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian let out a breath of air and he felt he was too greedy.
"With my current Spiritual Force, so long as I don’t encounter the First Leader of these bandits, then even if they were at the third level of the Void Prying Stage, I can use my soul skill, Thousand Illusions, to easily obtain victory against the other leaders, as long they aren’t Inscription Masters!" When he thought up to here, Duan Ling Tian’s feelings surged.
Meanwhile, Chi Ming walked out from the cave.
"Vice Dean Chi, how many points did these bandits give me?" Duan Ling Tian looked at Chi Ming as he asked.
Chi Ming looked at Duan Ling Tian as if looking at a monster, then said after a short while, "236 points. Coupled with the points from before, 378 points."
378 points?
Duan Ling Tian nodded. "Continue!"
When he saw Duan Ling Tian walk out with large strides, Chi Ming followed as well.
"Vice Dean Chi, you…" Duan Ling Tian noticed that Chi Ming didn’t conceal himself, and he couldn’t help but be slightly curious.
At the same time, he noticed that Chi Ming had something difficult to voice out.
"Vice Dean Chi, speak frankly if you have anything you want to say." Duan Ling Tian smiled.
He owed Chi Ming a favor, and he remembered it in his heart.
As far as he was concerned, if he had the opportunity to return the favor earlier, he would be able to feel slightly at ease in his heart.
He wasn’t willing to owe a favor.
Chi Ming took a deep breath and asked. "Duan Ling Tian, the spirit weapon you used earlier was a grade four spirit sword?"
"I was wondering what was troubling Vice Dean Chi… Yes, what I used earlier was indeed a grade four spirit sword." Duan Ling Tian nodded.
"You… You know a grade four Weapons Craftsman?" Chi Ming stared fixedly at Duan Ling Tian, it was difficult for his gaze to move in the slightest, and it was as if it had rooted onto Duan Ling Tian.
"Sort of." Duan Ling Tian nodded.
"Sort of?" Chi Ming was stunned.
How could Chi Ming have imagined that the grade four spirit sword in Duan Ling Tian’s possession was refined by Duan Ling Tian himself, and the grade four Weapons Craftsman he spoke of was Duan Ling Tian himself.
"Vice Dean Chi!" Duan Ling Tian discerned that Chi Ming was interested towards the grade four spirit weapon, and he said straightforwardly. "If you’re interested in a grade four spirit weapon, I can ask that grade four Weapons Craftsman to refine one for you… Just take it as me returning that favor I owe you!"
"Of course, Vice Dean Chi has to prepare the materials yourself." Duan Ling Tian added in the end.
"I can ask that grade four Weapons Craftsman to refine one for you… I can ask that grade four Weapons Craftsman to refine one for you…" At this moment, only these words remained and ceaselessly resounded in Chi Ming’s ears.
Gradually, Chi Ming’s face flushed red as he asked. "Really?"
"Vice Dean Chi, why would I deceive you?" Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, "Moreover, I can guarantee that the grade four spirit weapon refined by that Weapons Craftsman for you will have a minimum amplification of 60%!"
