Chapter 225 : Chapter 225
Chapter 225 Red Talent — Sword Emperor’s Successor!
“I know!”
“The Qingxuan Realm has already been occupied by the Eldritch Race!”
Su Ming spoke those words lightly, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.
“You!!!”
“You are not from the Lower Realm?”
After hearing Su Ming’s words, Chen Shu’s first reaction was that Su Ming absolutely could not have come from the Lower Realm.
“No!”
“We really did come from the Lower Realm!”
“It is just that everything I know about the Qingxuan Realm was deduced by me, including your Hope Zone here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shu’s face froze in astonishment.
Even so, Chen Shu still half believed what Su Ming had said.
Mainly because what Su Ming had said was simply too unbelievable.
A person from the Lower Realm actually dared to ignore Karmic Backlash and deduce matters concerning the Eldritch Race. One had to remember that there were Immortal Lord-level beings among the Eldritch Race.
After seeing Chen Shu’s expression, Su Ming knew that she still had not fully accepted his words.
“I know you still do not believe me right now, but you will understand in the future. When that time comes, I will give you a great gift!”
“A great gift that can save everyone in your Hope Zone from fire and water!”
After hearing him say this, Chen Shu began to believe him a little more, though she still felt it sounded unreliable.
“What great gift?”
Chen Shu could not understand why everyone in the Hope Zone would end up plunged into suffering.
For all these years, the Hope Zone had always developed steadily, and it had never come into conflict with other factions.
In Chen Shu’s view, what Su Ming said about the Hope Zone falling into desperate peril was simply impossible.
“No need to rush! Even if I told you now, you would not believe me!”
“When the time comes, I will naturally tell you!”
“And you can rest assured of one thing: I also hate the Eldritch Race!”
At that point, hatred for the Eldritch Race appeared openly on Su Ming’s face.
And it was precisely because of that hatred that Chen Shu became a little more convinced by his words.
Not long afterward, Chen Shu left and reported Su Ming’s situation to the Elder Council.
However, the Elder Council paid it little mind.
In their eyes, the addition of a Fifth Tribulation Realm expert of the Tribulation Stage like Su Ming was already a considerable boost to the Hope Zone’s combat strength.
As for Chen Shu’s report that Su Ming possessed an extremely powerful art of deduction and could foresee many things, including the great gift he claimed could save the Hope Zone from calamity—the Elder Council did not care about any of it. In their view, arts of deduction always brought extremely severe backlash.
Three months later!
During those three months, Su Ming and Xuanyuan Tianji remained in seclusion within their own residence, never stepping outside.
Until one day, Chen Shu came to Su Ming’s residence and handed him some cultivation resources.
After Su Ming accepted the resources and thanked her, Chen Shu left once more.
Seven months later!
【Simulation Attempts: 1】
“Phew!”
Su Ming slowly opened his eyes from seclusion and looked at the Simulator panel.
“One year has finally passed!”
During this full year of the Simulator’s cooldown, he had not received a single Random Mission.
“As expected, I cannot pin all my hopes on Random Missions alone!”
“Start the simulation!”
The moment those words left his mouth, Su Ming began to pray inwardly.
He prayed that this time, he would draw a red talent. It had been a very long time since he had last drawn one.
【Simulation begins!】
【Drawing a random talent!】
【Congratulations, you have obtained the red talent: Sword Emperor’s Successor!】
“Holy shit???”
“It really is a red talent!!!”
The moment Su Ming saw the red talent he had drawn, he became so excited that he sprang to his feet.
He could no longer remember how long it had been since he had last drawn a red talent.
Fortune had turned at last. Good luck had finally smiled upon him again.
Then Su Ming continued looking at the Simulator.
【Sword Emperor’s Successor: You inherit the complete legacy of the ancient Sword Emperor, and within your mind slumbers a remnant consciousness of the Sword Emperor.】
【Basic Effects: Sword Dao comprehension increases by 500%, the speed of cultivating sword arts surges by 300%, the power of sword techniques is permanently increased by 150%, and when wielding a sword, you automatically condense the “Imperial Sword Momentum,” forming absolute suppression in the Sword Dao against cultivators of the same realm.】
【Special Ability: In battle, you may actively awaken the “Sword Emperor Phantom” and borrow 10% of the Sword Emperor’s Sword Dao insights. All sword techniques become instant, requiring no charge-up. You may also consume 70% of your Spiritual Power to unleash the “Sword Emperor Finger,” condensing a thousand-meter sword aura through the air and dealing devastating piercing damage to enemies in a straight line.】
【Note: While the Sword Emperor Phantom is active, it consumes a certain amount of Spiritual Qi every minute. At present, it can last for ten minutes!】
【Unique Skill: “Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends” — consumes all of your current Spiritual Power to summon the “Imperial Sword Domain” left behind by the Sword Emperor (covering a radius of one thousand zhang). Within the domain, ten thousand swords cry out in unison, automatically shredding the enemy’s Spiritual Power and fleshly body, while also randomly replicating three of the Sword Emperor’s lifetime ultimate techniques for your instant use. The domain lasts for ten seconds.】
【Note: Cooldown time: three months. When released, golden sword patterns emerge around your body, and behind you appears the phantom of the Sword Emperor’s true form.】
“This...”
After reading the description of the Sword Emperor’s Successor talent, Su Ming stood there in a complete daze.
In the past, most red talents had been the support type. And although support-type cultivation talents offered tremendous improvements, for Su Ming, they still had very obvious limitations.
Because Su Ming’s foundation was too poor.
If a red talent could increase someone’s cultivation talent by a hundredfold, then Su Ming’s base talent value would be one.
Under the augmentation of a red talent, it would only become one hundred.
But if those same red talents were placed on Xuanyuan Tianji, the effect would not merely be one hundred. It might be ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand.
However, in Su Ming’s eyes, the Sword Emperor’s Successor talent he had drawn this time was focused purely on killing power.
The two skills it came with were far from ordinary Divine Powers. With the enhancement of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect, Su Ming even felt that he could casually slaughter Heavenly Venerable experts, and might even have the power to fight Immortal Realm opponents.
At this point, Su Ming looked forward to this simulation more and more.
His gaze continued to fall upon the Simulator.
...
【You were overjoyed when you saw the talent you had drawn. This was the first time you had obtained a talent focused on pure killing power.】
【In your view, the words “Sword Emperor” alone were enough to show just how terrifying this talent was.】
【You knew that only supreme mighty experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm could be called Emperors.】
【And so, when you saw Sword Emperor, what naturally came to mind was a supreme Immortal Emperor who had cultivated the Sword Dao.】
【At that moment, you knew that this was equivalent to obtaining the inheritance of an Immortal Emperor-level existence.】
【With the augmentation of the Sword Emperor’s Successor, you briefly cultivated the Divine Power Heavenslaying.】
【This time, after finishing your cultivation of Heavenslaying, you frowned deeply.】
【You discovered that although Heavenslaying was powerful, its upper limit was rather low. In the Dead Land of the Canglan Realm, it had indeed been an extremely powerful Divine Power, and it remained formidable even in the Immortal Realm, but beyond that point, it began to show signs of weakness.】
【This was something you had never noticed at all before obtaining the Sword Emperor’s Successor.】
【However, your Sword Dao comprehension had now increased by 500%, giving you the insight necessary to create Sword Dao Divine Powers of your own.】
【A thought arose in your mind—to continue developing the Divine Power Heavenslaying further.】
