Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 380 A Tear in the Fabric of Eternity
"You don't even want a fragment of a legendary item?" Shi Feng's heart jolted.
He didn't think Xia Lian was lying.
He had fully witnessed the special nature of the Stone Sword. Even a Tier 4 Great Priest like Xia Lian couldn't analyze it. And he was lucky enough to possess the Golden Holy Mark, otherwise he wouldn't have known the Stone Sword was a Legacy item.
"It's a good thing I came here, otherwise I would have been in real trouble." Shi Feng looked at the Stone Sword, secretly rejoicing.
Shi Feng was still thinking about spending some resources to hire three Tier 4 classes. Now it seemed that even if he found three Tier 4 NPC powerhouses, he wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. He didn't have three fragments of legendary items to pay.
Moreover, even if he did, it wouldn't be possible...
"Alright, let's begin. I really want to see what this thing is. You stand back a bit."
Xia Lian was now full of interest in the Stone Sword. As she spoke, she threw twenty-one magic crystals into the air. Then, she chanted an incantation. The twenty-one magic crystals suddenly flew in all directions. Fortunately, Xia Lian's house was large enough. After the magic crystals flew 20 yards away, they stopped and hovered in mid-air, and began to slowly rotate. A silvery-white light emerged from the ground.
Shi Feng immediately moved away from the range of the magic array and watched quietly from a distance.
As the twenty-one magic crystals floated and rotated, the Stone Sword slowly moved to the center of the magic array.
At this moment, Xia Lian let out a soft shout, and the entire room seemed to freeze. The surroundings were filled with an extremely rich magic power, making creaking sounds.
Immediately afterwards, the twenty-one magic crystals shattered as if they couldn't withstand the enormous pressure, turning into streams of gray smoke that drilled into the Stone Sword.
When the powerful magic power of a magic crystal completely entered the Stone Sword, it made a "thump" sound, like the beating of a heart.
At first, Shi Feng thought it was an illusion.
But as the magic crystals were integrated, the sound of the beat grew louder and louder, more and more powerful, as if awakening a sleeping ancient beast.
However, as one magic crystal after another merged, Xia Lian in the magic array became weaker and weaker.
When the Stone Sword had fused with seven magic crystals, Shi Feng clearly felt that the terrifying power in the room had dropped by half. Xia Lian had also become weaker. When the Stone Sword had fused with fourteen crystals, Xia Lian's face began to turn pale. By the time all twenty-one magic crystals had fused into the Stone Sword, Xia Lian seemed to be on the verge of collapse, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
Only then did Shi Feng realize that awakening the Stone Sword was no simple task.
Just casting a magic array could weaken a Tier 4 powerhouse to such an extent. No wonder Xia Lian said that even if she found other Tier 4 powerhouses, they wouldn't easily agree.
At the same time, Shi Feng was also shocked.
Xia Lian had accomplished something that required three Tier 4 classes to do, all by herself. Her strength was terrifying.
"Just who is Xia Lian?" Shi Feng was even more curious about Xia Lian's identity.
An ordinary NPC couldn't possibly grow so fast. Moreover, Shi Feng had seen a woman in the Divine Tomb who looked exactly like Xia Lian. Although the current Xia Lian was far from matching the sleeping woman's earth-shattering strength, the pressure they gave off was exactly the same, only the intensity was different.
Just as Shi Feng was pondering Xia Lian's identity, the awakening ritual was completely over, and the silvery-white magic array dissipated.
Rumble!
The Stone Sword, which had been floating in mid-air, suddenly fell, and half of its blade sank into the hard floor.
"So sharp!"
Xia Lian, who was still weak, looked at the Stone Sword that had sunk into the floor and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
The Star Tower was a ruin that even the Great Destruction couldn't destroy. All the materials inside were extremely strong, and were reinforced and strengthened by inherent magic arrays. Even a Tier 4 Sword Emperor using a legendary-grade sword couldn't leave any marks on the floor with a full-strength strike. But the Stone Sword, floating in mid-air, had easily sunk into the floor...
At this time, the transparent crystal exterior had completely disappeared, turning into a sword with a golden blade and hilt, with a blade as transparent and pure as a diamond, leaving people unable to praise its beauty.
"How could it be? This is actually... a 'Severing Eternity' item!" Xia Lian, looking at the fully displayed information of the Stone Sword, was dumbfounded, at a loss for words.
Severing Eternity items are born of heaven and earth, containing unparalleled power. They were severely damaged in the ancient war of the gods, and thus absorbed some of the power of the ancient gods. As long as one becomes the controller of this item, they can obtain a trace of the power of the ancient gods. Player class limited to Swordsman and Berserker.
"Severing Eternity item?" Shi Feng was puzzled. It was the first time he had heard this name.
The text explanation above was quite impressive, saying it was a weapon used by the ancient gods.
Shi Feng knew a little about the ancient gods.
The ancient gods were also born of heaven and earth, and the power they possessed was completely world-destroying. Even Tier 6 God-ranked classes in God's Domain were like ants in front of the ancient gods, completely invincible beings. However, these ancient gods had already died in the ancient war.
"Your luck is truly heaven-defying. No wonder you don't want to obtain a high-level legacy." Xia Lian smiled slightly and explained, "The Severing Eternity item is recorded in ancient books as one of the Ancient Saint Ten Great Legacies, and the legacy is unique. Even the top-tier legacy of the Star Tower is far inferior."
"Saint Ten Great Legacies?" Shi Feng's mind couldn't quite process it.
The highest legacy Shi Feng had heard of before was a top-tier legacy. The Saint Ten Great Legacies were the first he had heard of.
"I've only seen the Saint Ten Great Legacies in ancient books as well. Today is the first time I've actually seen one. I'm not sure about the specifics, but I want to remind you of one thing. The Saint Ten Great Legacies are not to be underestimated."
"Just wanting to obtain a top-tier legacy is already close to the difficulty of a legendary quest. The Saint Ten Great Legacies are at least as difficult as a legendary quest. If you don't have enough confidence, it's best not to try it lightly. People will die, even if you are a Favored One."
Xia Lian's expression was extremely serious as she looked at Shi Feng. She had never been so serious and earnest, even when issuing the "Immortal Crown" quest. Especially when she said the word "die," she paused for a moment.
From her words, Shi Feng could clearly feel Xia Lian's good intentions, and he also knew the difficulty and danger involved.
The principle of equivalent exchange in God's Domain was everywhere.
Legacy trials also had dangers. For example, the most ordinary initial legacy: if you failed, you couldn't accept another legacy trial for ten days, your level would drop by three, and you would be weakened for three days.
And intermediate legacies were even more ruthless: after failing, you couldn't accept another intermediate legacy trial for twenty days, your level would drop by five, you would be weakened for seven days, and even your basic stats would be permanently reduced.
Not to mention high-level and top-tier legacies...
If it was a high-level legacy, Shi Feng was 90% confident he could take it. As for a top-tier legacy, Shi Feng was 50-60% confident.
But now it was a Saint Ten Great Legacy. Without any information to refer to, Shi Feng didn't have much confidence.
