Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1066: This Is a Half-step Super God Level
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Sect Master, this is what I brought back. This sword belonged to the person who was hunting me..."
Lu Jiu bowed with both hands, speaking with utmost respect.
"Haha, Lu Jiu, you have truly achieved something remarkable this time! This sword, tsk tsk, it looks extraordinary. Its power might very well rival our sect’s Seven Kills Sword!"
The middle-aged man's eyes gleamed with brightness as he smiled, gazing at the distant sword. The weapon radiated a terrifyingly thrilling aura, seemingly on par with the Seven Kills Sword. However, the Seven Kills Sword was the guardian treasure of the Sect of Seven Kills.
"If the Sect Master himself believes this sword is comparable to the Seven Kills Sword, then Brother Lu, you have truly accomplished an immense feat this time!"
"Brother Lu, not only did you slay the Goddess of Ancient, but you also presented a peerless sword. Such accomplishments would surely incite envy in anyone..."
"Tsk tsk, Brother Lu, your destiny points towards a boundless future. When you rise to prosperity, don't forget to look after your humble younger brother like me!"
"..."
For a moment, a chorus of praise erupted from all around. All eyes fell upon Lu Jiu, filled with intense envy, jealousy, and a touch of resentment. To defeat the Goddess of Ancient and then deliver a peerless sword to the Sect of Seven Kills were two accomplishments of monumental significance. They were almost beyond comprehension. The rewards Lu Jiu would undoubtedly receive were surely unimaginable. Furthermore, it was highly probable that from this very moment, Lu Jiu would be regarded by the Sect Master as the future successor.
"Tsk tsk... what a magnificent sword!"
The middle-aged man's gaze grew increasingly fervent as he looked upon the Heaven-Slaying Sword. The sword was simply fantastic; the more he observed it, the more he found himself admiring it.
Swish!
The middle-aged man extended his left hand, and a semi-transparent, grayish longsword materialized in his palm. This was none other than the Seven Kills Sword, the guardian sword of the Sect of Seven Kills. The instant the Seven Kills Sword appeared, an astonishing surge of killing intent washed over the entire Sect of Seven Kills. Every disciple within the sect immediately activated their cultivation techniques, striving to withstand the oppressive aura.
Everyone gazed fervently at the Seven Kills Sword. Its immense power stemmed from the countless lives it had taken throughout history. It was said that in antiquity, the Seven Kills Sword had been drenched in the blood of the Ancient Clan. Even during the later conflict between the spirits and the Dragon Clan, this sword had consumed a great deal of dragon blood. It was precisely because of this accumulated history that the Seven Kills Sword, having evolved into a Divine Level Top Quality artifact, possessed such a terrifying aura. Any cultivator whose cultivation base had not yet reached the Divine King Realm would likely perish instantly, their bodies exploding, upon confronting this killing intent.
"Master, is the Sect of Seven Kills deliberately presenting a trash sword just to compare it with me?"
Ye Yun, concealed at a considerable distance, was observing the unfolding events through the perspective of the Heaven-Slaying Sword when the sword's voice suddenly echoed within his heart.
"Say nothing and do not reveal your identity as the Artifact Spirit, lest you frighten them out of their wits!" Ye Yun replied with a smile.
"Understood, Master. I shall comply."
The Heaven-Slaying Sword chuckled in agreement. Since its master had instructed it to remain silent, it understood its role. The Heaven-Slaying Sword hung motionlessly in mid-air, showing no reaction whatsoever to the formidable killing intent emanating from the Seven Kills Sword.
"Does the owner of this sword truly believe they can confront our Sect of Seven Kills with a single blade?"
Holding the Seven Kills Sword, the middle-aged man smiled faintly. His demeanor remained calm and composed; he did not take the owner of the sword seriously at all. Moments prior, he had scanned the surroundings with his divine consciousness and detected no unfamiliar powerful presences drawing near. Now that this sword was within the domain of the Sect of Seven Kills, he felt confident that he could subdue it at any moment he desired.
"Sect Master, the wielder of this sword possesses truly formidable swordsmanship; even the Nine Undead Stone Clans were no match!" Lu Jiu interjected from the side.
"The Nine Undead Stone Clans are merely at the peak of the God King Realm, not even at the half-step Divine Emperor Realm. How can they be considered strong?" The middle-aged man smirked indifferently, dismissing his disciple's reminder.
He raised the Seven Kills Sword, its tip aimed towards the Heaven-Slaying Sword hovering in the distant void. Whoosh...
A potent Sword Intent enveloped the area, feeling almost tangible. He was prepared, in front of numerous disciples, to subdue this peerless sword. The immense Sword Intent, much like a colossal mountain reaching towards the heavens, descended upon the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword remained unmoving, its tip giving a slight tremor, as if by chance, pointed towards the Seven Kills Sword.
A sense of facing a formidable enemy washed over the Seven Kills Sword, its blade quivering intensely at this moment.
"How peculiar, this sword... actually possesses the ability to suppress the Seven Kills Sword?"
The middle-aged man expressed his astonishment.
He poured his Divine Yuan Power into it, and the Seven Kills Sword erupted in a brilliant radiance, its fearsome Sword Intent once again enveloping the surroundings in countless layers.
At this precise moment, the Heaven-Slaying Sword began to drift slowly towards the Seven Kills Sword.
Although it only advanced a mere few feet.
This short distance brought about a dramatic transformation.
All the overwhelming, killing Sword Intent that had been present vanished completely right then.
Buzz buzz...
Concurrently, the Seven Kills Sword started to tremble with great intensity.
The tip of the sword involuntarily shifted its aim to a different direction.
Even under the direct control of the Sect Master of the Sect of Seven Kills, the Seven Kills Sword instinctively gravitated towards a certain location.
Hiss!
Observing such a stunning spectacle, the middle-aged man drew in a sharp breath.
"Surpassing the Seven Kills Sword, exceeding Divine Level Top Quality, could this possibly be... the legendary Half-step Super God Level Divine Sword?"
A blur of motion ensued.
An emaciated elder, clad in gray robes, suddenly materialized beside the middle-aged man.
"Greetings, Supreme Ancestor!"
All the other disciples, upon beholding this elder in gray robes, their faces filled with elation, immediately prostrated themselves.
"Greetings, Supreme Ancestor!"
The Sect Master of the Sect of Seven Kills also knelt on one knee at this very instant.
This individual was none other than the Supreme Ancestor of the Sect of Seven Kills, a genuine powerhouse at the Divine Emperor Realm.
The Supreme Ancestor had been in deep seclusion for countless millennia, unheard of and unseen in the mortal world.
It was truly unexpected that a mere sword would draw him out from his seclusion.
This fact alone proved.
That the caliber of this peerless sword would be extraordinarily transcendent.
"Supreme Ancestor, you suggest this sword is of Half-step Super God Level?"
The middle-aged man’s realization dawned, and he looked upwards, inquiring with palpable excitement.
"This sword evoked a fear response within the Seven Kills Sword; it is without a doubt of Half-step Super God Level..."
The Supreme Ancestor’s gaze was fixed upon the Heaven-Slaying Sword, his expression one of profound solemnity.
The middle-aged man straightened up, a look of bewilderment on his face, muttering to himself, "Incredible, that a Super God Level Divine Sword truly exists in this world..."
"Super God Level treasures... are also said to exist.
However, they are exceedingly rare and elusive, with no one having ever witnessed one. Yet, Half-step Super God Level artifacts do exist within the Divine Land; but without attaining the God Emperor Realm, one simply lacks the qualification to even encounter them..."
The Supreme Ancestor articulated these words slowly, his gaze distant and profound.
The numerous disciples of the Sect of Seven Kills, upon hearing the Supreme Ancestor’s pronouncements, exchanged glances amongst themselves.
Matters concerning the Super God Level were considered the most profound of secrets.
To have the Supreme Ancestor appear today, and for them to gain such insight, was an unexpected blessing, enabling them to overhear such secrets.
The middle-aged man’s thoughts churned, and a smile suddenly touched his lips as he softly inquired, "Supreme Ancestor, if our Sect of Seven Kills were to possess a Half-step Super God Level Divine Sword, would our standing among the Four Extinction Heads not change?"
"Indeed! The acquisition of this sword would signify that we, the Sect of Seven Kills, would ascend to become the foremost among the Four Extinctions!"
The Supreme Ancestor responded with firm affirmation.
