– In the game –
On this continent, there was a Tower of Despair.
In here, time passed extremely slowly. If not for the feeling of loneliness, the people in the tower would have forgotten about the passage of time long ago
This was one of the many holy cultivation places on the Arad Continent.
At the top of the tower which shot into the high clouds, there was a weary-faced white-haired swordsman. On his back, he carried all kinds of blades, everyone having a time-weary presence as if they each had an ancient story and a glorious name which was later erased by the history.
He raised his head and looked out of the window.
The sky outside the window had been dyed red by the evening clouds in the setting sun. Soon, night would fall.
But inside the tower, it was always dim and gloomy regardless if it was day or night. It felt like Hell without a thread of warmth in it.
On the continent, there was a legend about the Blade Master Soldoros, who was the most ancient and most powerful swordsman on this continent.
Soldoros had understood the ultimate meaning and essence of sword.
At this moment in the Tower of Despair, this Blade Master encountered the toughest opponent in history.
“Is there an end to the path of the sword?”
In the interlacing sword energies, a lazy-looking young man stood before the Blade Master with a wood stick in his hand. It seemed like he had just picked it up from the ground casually.
Yes, this young man was about to battle the most ancient and most powerful Blade Master Soldoros from the legends with a wood stick.
Godly Sword Yang Ur was a name that many people on the continent had never heard of before. But after they heard it, they would never forget it.
“Your stance is wavering just from my question, that’s no good,” Soldoros called back the Devil Sword Claris and said with a smile.
“Sorry, I just had an old thought cross my head. An end to the path of the sword.” The young man with the wooden stick sheathed his ‘sword’ and fell deep in thought.
Seeing this, Soldoros looked resigned, wondering why he brought up this question. While Yang Ur was still in a daze, Soldoros became a bit embarrassed. “Did I ask a useless question? There really is no answer… as it is a level that even you have not reached!”
“No. There’s an answer.” Yang Ur finally snapped back to reality. “There are many swordsmen who have reached our level now and we may no longer be the best swordsman. A level that even we haven’t reached; The path to the next level may open to someone out there..”
“You mean…”
“Yes, I can sense it. Although we have already attained a high level of strength, there’s so much more left for us to learn. We simply just can’t see it.”
Yes, there was no end in the path of sword.
One word’s elucidation filled with truth points to the birthless showing nature’s mystery.
Great Dao returns to the origin. Some people understood Dao while others understood the laws of nature.
– In the Nalan Family –
Before his eyes, he seemed to see the sage’s faction in the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars.
He seemed to see the top of the Forbidden City in that full moon night in the Duel…
He seemed to see the sword energies sweeping around the tall Mountain Shu in the Legend of Sword and Legend…
He seemed to see the world-destroying move on Sanfen Field in the Wind and Cloud…
Nalan Hongwu suddenly opened his eyes. Lifting the longsword which had been lying beside him quietly, his eyes were as deep and bright as lakes.
Then, he stood up.
In a blur, the streaks of true sword spirits seemed to overlap with him and then combined into one.
– On the top of the Tower of Despair –
While Soldoros and Godly Sword Yang Ur were talking, a white-haired swordsman stepped into the tower.
These two were not surprised since lately, many adventurers (players) had come to challenge them to obtain the breakthrough.
It was the best place for the players to test and improve their sword techniques.
But almost all the challengers ended in failure.
However, they found that the swordsman before them was different.
Because they saw in the ancient eyes of the challenger a total understanding of everything in the world.
“Understanding one law leads to the understanding of all laws. It is indeed true!” With his right hand resting on the longsword hanging on his belt, Nalan Hongwu felt that the previous deep and mysterious sword techniques now looked very simple in this instant.
Even the newly learned sword techniques looked simple now.
The sword was unsheathed.
At this moment, the dim and gloomy Tower of Despair was lit up by this sword beam!
The radiance in this instant was as bright as the flower blooming in the dawn!
Blade Master Soldoros had heat in his eyes, and the spiritual light in his eyes burned hot!
His hand that was rested on the sword handle grasped it subconsciously; he knew what it meant.
“The next level of sword… is fascinating…” Blade Master Soldoros, the most ancient and most powerful swordsman on the continent lamented as he watched his opponent leave.
A moment ago, he lost.
Yes, these adventurers (players) had surpassed them!
For these adventurers (players), the legendary existences had been too lofty for them to reach. But now, the latter had to look up at them.
No one knew how it felt, but for the people who spent all their lives on the pursuit of Sword Dao, failures might not be a bad thing.
“Ay, it’s not easy to reach the level that doesn’t have a name yet; it might take a lifetime. Hey, don’t you think that it’s time to name this level, just like Blade Master or Grand Master?” Looking at his opponent who was leaving, Blade Master Soldoros said slowly.
“What do you think about Omniblade?”
“Doesn’t that name sound too grand? After all, no one can be sure if there’s an end in the path of sword. What should we name the level above that then?”
“We can worry about that when it comes to it!”
A hearty and sincere laughter sounded in the Tower of Despair.
They saw a brand-new level.
Perhaps they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
This… was probably the Omniblade in their eyes!
– In the Yuanyang City Shop –
“Huh?” In the voice channel of this team, Zong Wu said, “I’ll add a main carry into our team!”
[Prompt: Nalan Hongwu joined the Challenge Team.]
At this moment, the Challenge Team had spent a lot of time to fight the small elite monsters. With a blood shower, the last Tog finally fell.
No one could make a tiny mistake in this extremely difficult battle.
At this moment, Anton opened its huge mouth – the worse nightmare came!
The monster flying out from Anton’s mouth had a physical body tougher than the Tog’s. Covered all over by armor made up of energy crystals, this monster made the Tog look like a guardian dog. This was the final boss that was guarding the Source of Black Smoke!
When the players saw it, it vanished. Then, it reappeared in the crowd while horrifying lightning energy exploded around the players.
No one dared to doubt its power; its destructive lightning bolts could kill anyone they touched!
At this moment, like the first streak of light that was tearing open the chaos and separating the sky from the earth, a sword beam spread out like wings behind Nalan Hongwu as if it was a sword soul!
The highest level of known sword technique bloomed without reserve at this moment.
Just as the saying ‘Understanding one law leads to an understanding of all laws’ went, he could easily unleash the essence of such a profound and complex sword technique.
Hypervigilance!
Attacked by this pure sword beam, the master of the destructive lightning bolts was instantly frozen in the mid-air by a horrifying sword force without the ability to fight back!
The lightning bolts covering the sky instantly scattered!
“My goodness… This play that instantly freezes the boss…”
“DPS! DPS!”
