Chapter 627: Chapter 627 – Thrilling

In the dark and deep area, an ancient sword was shining brightly. A dazzling brilliance emerged and illuminated every corner of the earth, making the area stunning and extraordinary.

“What’s that?” Any bit of brilliance was so eye-catching in this dark secret realm.

The ancient sword in Bai An’s hand was so extraordinary that it quickly attracted the attention of everyone around. Even Bai An could not help but be somewhat surprised sensing this situation.

He held the ancient sword in this secret realm because it was usually inconspicuous and was best for keeping a low profile. It would be impossible for him to realize how extraordinary it was if he did not hold it for a long time.

However, the brilliance of the ancient sword at this moment directly attracted the attention of everyone around him, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile. This kind of situation made him somewhat uncomfortable and a little strange.

“What exactly is this?” He felt the brilliance of the ancient sword and could not help but mutter to himself.

This secret realm before him was extraordinary. Most cultivators’ divine power would be suppressed in this secret realm. Ordinary things would lose almost all their power, and the powerful divine weapons would also be weakened. Even nascent soul cultivators could only use pure physical strength here, which would also be suppressed.

Only existences with extremely high essence could move freely and emit dazzling brilliance, just like the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand. The radiance emitted by the ancient sword was something Bai An had never seen before, making him feel somewhat helpless and wary.

He could already imagine what would happen if such a situation occurred in this place. As Bai An raised his head, he saw numerous pairs of greedy eyes staring at his ancient sword. Their gazes were filled with intense passion. Greed rose in their hearts, and all of them had the same thought at this moment – kill Bai An and seize the sword!

“My young friend.” An ethereal voice sounded from not far away, and the figure of an old Daoist dressed in a white robe walked towards Bai An.

He looked at Bai An with a kind smile and said, “The ancient sword in your hand looks very familiar. It seems to be a treasure of my inheritance. I wonder if you can return it? I would be very grateful.” He smiled and looked at Bai An with a sincere expression.

All the surrounding cultivators were stunned and shockingly looked at the old Daoist before them, including Bai An. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?

Bai An had been traveling in the outside world for several years and thought he had seen the world and witnessed many sinister people. However, he never thought that there was someone in this world who could do this. Such shamelessness made Bai An sigh in his heart, tossing his towel.

Bai An quickly smiled to express his admiration, deliberately putting on a reluctant look, “It is such an honor that you have taken a fancy to this sword. Since it is your treasure of Inheritance, please have it...” Bai An revealed a forceful smile, looking helpless and powerless to resist.

Looking at Bai An’s appearance, the old Daoist smiled. “Then I’ll accept it...” The old Daoist had no plans of refusing, then he stretched out his hand and was about to take the ancient sword before him.

However, something unexpected happened. The moment the old Daoist reached out his hand, a dazzling brilliance flickered. Bai An’s expression changed. The ancient sword in his hand slashed toward the old Daoist and seemed that he was about to launch an attack.

However, the old Daoist didn’t show any unusual reaction but smiled disdainfully and reached out his hand. An enormous momentum rose from his body, accompanied by a powerful surge of divine power, causing the surrounding cultivators to cry out in alarm. Even Bai An’s heart could not help but sink when he saw this.

This mystic realm had a very severe suppression of one’s cultivation. One had to be at least in the Nascent Transformation Stage to increase one’s divine power and display such might, like the old Daoist before him. The old Daoist could roam freely in this place with such cultivation. No wonder he dared to ask for the ancient sword forcefully.

However, it was too late to say anything at this moment. Bai An had no choice but to slash forcefully toward the old Daoist’s body with the ancient sword. A clear sound like a sword cutting through flesh sounded in all directions. Soon, everything was over.

Under the unbelievable gazes of the people around, the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand surged straight forward, directly cutting through the divine light body protector on the old Daoist’s body, felling down along with his flesh and spirit. Pieces of flesh and blood dripped onto the ground, emitting a thick bloody smell.

The old Daoist looked at Bai An in disbelief. He tried hard to raise his head, with his arm covered in blood. He seemed as if he wanted to say something, but he could not make a sound. In the end, he fell in vain and fell to the ground.

Within just a short moment, a great cultivator in the Nascent Transformation Stage had fallen. His corpse was lying here before everyone’s eyes. Even Bai An himself didn’t expect this scene, not to mention the others.

“A Nascent Transformation Stage cultivator had fallen…” Bai An looked at the old Daoist and couldn’t help but mutter to himself, feeling incomprehensibly complicated.

He was not far from reaching the Nascent Transformation Stage, only one step away, which was precisely why he understood how terrifying the power of that level was.

In the past, it was not that Bai An had never faced a Nascent Transformation Stage cultivator directly. However, the outcomes of several collisions were highly disastrous, so he dared not be invincible against them. Yet, now, such a powerful Nascent Transformation Stage cultivator had fallen and died before him, so quick and easy, just like chopping vegetables. This kind of feeling made him feel somewhat illusory and unrealistic.

He couldn’t help but look at the ancient sword in his hand that was still emitting brilliance. The sword’s body seemed to have slightly changed. It was no longer as simple and unadorned as before, but numerous runes appeared instead.

After killing a nascent soul cultivator, the ancient sword seemed to have signs of revival. The power it released was terrifying. Although it didn’t seem to have much power at first glance, the scene from before was particularly frightening.

“Not good!” A moment later, Bai An suddenly realized that something was wrong.

As expected, the expressions of the people around him became even more strange. Even those divine weapons would find it difficult to achieve such power to kill a nascent soul cultivator with a single slash. At the very least, only the best divine weapons could do so.

If this ancient sword could still possess such power in this secret realm which suppressed everything, then what would happen after they left this place and entered the outside world? As they thought of this, the people around them couldn’t help but feel their hearts throb. Their eyes couldn’t help but look towards Bai An’s body with an even more unsettling gaze.

However, after witnessing the ancient sword’s power, the surrounding people didn’t dare to make a move as they were afraid of being targeted by Bai An. And it was this slight hesitation that gave Bai An a chance to catch his breath.

“Why are all of you looking at me?” Bai An was silent before he laughed aloud, “Although a divine weapon is good, you have to be alive, don’t you think? Instead of looking at the ancient sword, it’s better to look at something more practical.”

As Bai An spoke, he pointed at the old Daoist under his feet and smiled, “This person was a nascent soul cultivator. His portable inventory is probably extremely rich, not to mention his corpse. Wouldn’t it be more practical if you keep an eye on this instead of the divine weapon in my hand?”

As he spoke, the corpse beneath his feet was controlled by Bai An to charge into the distance and directly soar into the air. At the same time, Bai An no longer concealed his cultivation. His cultivation at the peak of the Core Shattering Stage was displayed directly, causing everyone’s heart to be filled with terror.

In mid-air, the old Daoist’s corpse flew in all directions. Numerous items emitting divine light gushed out from his body, causing countless people to fight over them. This action immediately caused many people’s gazes to shift away, diverting their attention.

As for the remaining few people, after considering each other’s strength, they finally decided to give up and quietly joined in the fight for the old Daoist’s corpse. After all, compared to the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand, the old Daoist’s corpse and legacy were more tangible. Although the divine weapon was good, there was only one. They might not be able to get it.

Moreover, Bai An’s strength wasn’t bad. With the cultivation of the advanced Core Shattering Stage coupled with the divine weapon in his hand, even a person at the Nascent Transformation Stage might not be able to gain favor with him. Therefore, it would be better to fight over the old Daoist’s corpse instead.

After most people shifted their attention away from Bai An, the remaining ones had no choice but to give up. After all, Bai An was not someone to be provoked. Rashly going over was just courting death.

After leaving this place, Bai An held the ancient sword in his hand. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief after noticing that the number of people behind him gradually decreased.

“That was close...” He felt some lingering fear and broke out in a cold sweat.

His situation just now was indeed dangerous, and he might have died there if he had not handled it properly. He did not even need to think about what would happen next. Fortunately, he finally ran out of there.

“The ancient sword...” His heart flickered, thinking back at the scene. He could not help but scrutinize the ancient sword in his hand carefully.
