Qin Shi was taken aback when he saw the huge sword gathering its spirit in an instant. Then, a huge blood-red light appeared. The light was so intense that it stung his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn his head.
Rumble!
In less than three seconds, the entire thirty-sixth floor of the lighthouse was reduced to dust. The gigantic Golem was nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for the heavy gravel and dust on the ground, people would have thought that the Golem had never existed in the first place.
When the sound gradually subsided, Qin Shi put down his hand and opened his eyes.
Gulp …!
He was stunned by the scene before him. "Is … is this the full power of the Traceless Sword Blood?"
"No, it's the spirit of the Sword Sect."
Even someone as powerful as the Nefarious Demon couldn't help but gasp and shake its head. "The Eight Great Ancient Ominous Weapons are indeed extraordinary."
Qin Shi nodded vigorously to express his approval.
After that, his heart became even more fervent. He had already witnessed the might of the Sword Sect's Spirit, the Eight Desolation Magatama, and the Seven-colored Graceful Dance. Any one of these weapons was enough to destroy the world. What caused his heart to become fervent were the treasure map fragments in his possession, the God Artifact Treasure Map fragments.
"I finally understand why the balance of the eight regions was broken by this Divine Weapon ten thousand years ago. If the ominous weapons are already like this, how terrifying are the Divine Weapons?"
Qin Shi clenched his fists as greedy thoughts rose in his mind.
"If I can get my hands on that Divine Weapon, I might be able to fight against the Pi Group, right?"
This was the first time in all these years that Qin Shi had revealed such a greedy heart for an item. In an instant, he felt somewhat ashamed and guilty in his heart.
Noticing this, the Nefarious Demon smiled. "Little guy, you don't have to be like this. Everyone is born with desire. Otherwise, why would it be so hard to satisfy it?
It's unavoidable.
"However, you must have a limit. Excessive greed will cause your mind to be controlled by your desire."
Wretch-Devil paused for a moment, then said, "But your performance this time is nothing special. After all, it's a primordial artifact. It's not just you. Back in the Primordial Era, I fought Zhe Tian several times over that artifact."
"You know about that Divine Weapon?" Qin Shi was surprised.
The Nefarious Demon laughed wildly. "Of course. It's the only Divine Weapon in the world. How could I not know about it?"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I just didn't think that after my battle with Zhe Tian, this divine artifact would end up in the mortal world. Back then, the realm that was the least optimistic of the Three Realms advanced by leaps and bounds because of this divine artifact."
"What does that Divine Weapon look like?"
"I can't tell you.
The nefarious devil shook its head. "If you really are fated with that divine item, I believe that sooner or later, you will see it with your own eyes. I believe that that will be even more shocking than me telling you."
"I believe that if you see it, you will love it so much that you won't be able to part with it." The Nefarious Devil laughed.
The more the Nefarious Demon said, the more excited Qin Shi became.
But suddenly, the Nefarious Demon said, "However, don't think that you can fight against the Puppet Group with this Divine Weapon. Otherwise … you'll be disappointed. Very disappointed."
"What?" Qin Shi's eyes widened. "Even with the Divine Weapon, it's not enough?"
The Nefarious Demon shook its head. "The Dark Group is huge. Zhe Tian's strength is something you can never imagine at your current level. It's just like how you can't imagine the Sword Grandmaster and Fang Qing when you were in the Spirit Tempering Realm."
Hearing this, Qin Shi's heart suddenly sank. It was as if he had been hit by a huge rock.
He bit his lips and his eyes were filled with reluctance.
"How could this be …!"
The Nefarious Demon's example had a great meaning.
The Spirit Tempering Realm was the lowest realm for beginners. But the Sword Grandmaster and Fang Qing were the highest existences in the human world. The Sect Masters of the Eight Regions.
The former was said to be himself, and the latter was the Puppet Group … This was simply the difference between heaven and earth. How could Qin Shi not feel suffocated?
Qin Shi suddenly laughed at himself. "I, I thought that after so many years of tireless and hard work, I would be able to touch the Puppet Group. It turns out … it turns out that it's always at the peak, and I haven't even reached the foot of the mountain. It's ridiculous … It turns out that no matter how I look up, I can't see it at all."
Feeling Qin Shi's inferiority complex, the Nefarious Demon couldn't help.
The Nefarious Demon sighed. "Little guy, I know it's really cruel to tell you this, but there's no other way. This is the truth. It's so cruel. I know it's very difficult. It's normal for you to want to give up now."
"However, what I can tell you is that if you are defeated now, you will never be able to stand on equal footing with Group Ma. Your arrogant vow will eventually become a joke to others. They will say that you are young and frivolous."
Qin Shi knew that although the Nefarious Demon's words were piercing, they were the truth. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, and his black eyes became firmer. He shook his head. "No, I won't give up. I won't be defeated. No matter how difficult it is, I won't give up. I've suffered for seven or eight years. If I can't do it, then I'll suffer for a few more years. If a few years doesn't work, then I'll endure for decades, or even centuries."
The Nefarious Demon heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Not bad, I really didn't misjudge you. I thought you would want to give up this time."
Qin Shi curled his lips in annoyance. "Yeah, I did think about it, but I can't. Who asked me to be so selfless? If I were more selfish and lived for myself, I might have really given up."
"But … I can't …!"
"On this path, I am worried about too many of my loved ones. There are too many lives that I care about. My family, my parents, Xuexin, and Zi Lingsha, they are all closely related to Team Pi, including … you, you are the same. I care about all of you, so I cannot give up."
The Nefarious Demon's eyes became gentle. "Hehe, this really makes me feel touched."
"Don't be so sarcastic. If you're touched, then quickly assist me."
"Haha, brat, you're really arrogant. You actually want me to assist you."
Qin Shi smiled proudly.
The Nefarious Demon shook his head helplessly. "Assisting you? No problem. You're the key to this road. No matter what, you can't collapse."
Qin Shi let out a long sigh and cursed. "Damn, I don't understand either. Why does everything seem to be directed at me?
This is really strange. I feel like I was born to be troubled by the Puppet Group. "
"This is the so-called fate. It's predestined."
"Then I really have a hard life." Qin Shi pouted.
"It's not really a hard life. You also have the glory and height that many people can't achieve even if they spend their entire lives trying to achieve it."
Qin Shi shrugged. This was really karma.
"Just like now, this Holy Spirit Hall that you're in is something that millions of people from the Sword Sect want. And the reason why you're standing here, isn't it because you're being forced to break through step by step?"
"Sigh, I know what you're saying. Don't worry. You don't need to give me confidence. I've never lacked confidence. What I lack now is a way to become stronger."
When Qin Shi finished speaking, he raised his eyes and said, "Let me find out the secret of this Holy Spirit Hall first. It's a way to quickly become stronger."
The Nefarious Demon nodded in agreement.
Qin Shi raised his eyes and searched through the rubble. After a while, he couldn't help but frown.
There was actually nothing in the rubble of the boulder?
"How can there be nothing?"
Qin Shi became anxious. According to the common sense of the first thirty-five floors, after the Stone Demon was destroyed, there should be a key to open the barrier.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, just when Qin Shi was at a loss of what to do, a dazzling light rose from the sky.
This dazzling light came from the bottom of the tower. From the first floor to the thirty-sixth floor, it was the barrier that Qin Shi suspected to be the inheritance power of the thirty-six Sword Sect Masters.
"Traceless Sword Blood?
Keke, Qiqing, so this kid is someone that you value? "
Suddenly, within the dazzling light, a clear and resounding laughter resounded through the lighthouse.
Qin Shi was startled. Following that, he saw that the dazzling light actually started to divide into 36 layers in his eyes. Each layer had an extremely noble phantom.
Among the thirty-six figures, some were young women, some were old men, some were wearing dragon robes, and some were dragging their feet.
Amidst this uneven and varied image, there was one thing that was unusual about their tacit understanding. It was the same.
That was … the noble aura of the Martial Supremacies.
"Such, such a terrifying pressure."
Surrounded by the figures, Qin Shi's eyes were filled with shock and astonishment. The thirty-six figures gave him a pressure that he had never felt before.
Even during the Talisman Demon Competition, he had never felt such a feeling among the Eight Territory Masters and Sect Masters.
He had a feeling that if any of the thirty-six Sword Sect Masters appeared outside the lighthouse, they would probably be able to shake the Human World with a stomp of their feet.
Then, with a sharp gaze, he saw a young woman among the thirty-six Sword Sect Masters. The woman was smiling at him meaningfully.
"Senior Qiqing?" Qin Shi was surprised.
Qiqing's figure smiled at Qin Shi and said, "Young man, you must be the person that I have chosen in the outside world in the past three thousand years, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi was taken aback. He didn't quite understand Qiqing's words.
"Young man, don't be surprised. This is the remnant spirit that I have left behind in the past three thousand years. It doesn't know what I have experienced in the past three thousand years."
Qiqing's primordial spirit spoke in the Sword Sect's spirit.
Only then did Qin Shi come to a realization. He nodded and said, "Senior, it is me."
Qiqing smiled with satisfaction. "Haha, not bad. My eyes are indeed very good."
Then, she took a step forward and distanced herself from the other thirty-five figures.
