5798 Dual Sword Slash

The Sword of Life was unavoidable.

Unless the opponent wasnt alive.

But, that seemed quite possible.

No matter how he looked at the opponent, they didnt seem human.

The power of the Starry Sky? the masked figure remarked. Thats somewhat interesting!

Jian Wushuang was surprised, his mouth agape, and he said in astonishment, You even know about the power of the Starry Sky?

Knowledge of the power of the Starry Sky was scarce in the river of time.

The only instance he had witnessed it was when Nie Yuan had utilized the power of the Starry Sky.

It was a power belonging to the Starry Sky.

The fact that the opponent even knew about this surprised him.

Upon careful consideration, it wasnt that surprising after all,

The Nine Tribulations Tower was similar to the Skysight I leavenly Chessboard.

Both probably originated from the Starry Sky.

Knowing about the power of the Starry Sky was normal.

Do you think youre the only one who wields the power of the Starry Sky? the masked figure said, as his form changed and his aura turned blue.

Electric arcs also flashed around him,

At this moment, Jian Wushuang not only felt shocked but also sensed the opponents Origin Source.

Within that Origin Source, there was a hint of time.

Hurry up and make your move, you only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! the masked figure urged.

Without further ado, Jian Wushuang didnt waste words. He gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand and directly drew out the Wanjic Sword.

The Starry Sky Chronicles!

The First Sword Move!

As the words fell, a monotonous green aura erupted within the solemn hall.

Life!

The moment he sensed the opponents origin, he knew!

Victory!

A single sword strike!

Life, extinguished!

That was Death!

Seemingly one sword strike, yet it was a dual sword strike!

Life and Death walked together.

In this moment, he truly felt it.

The sensation of the blade piercing through the opponents body.

Clang!

Sheathed the sword!

Smooth and seamless.

Turning slowly, watching the opponent turn into a grey figure, he spoke, Youve lost! What sword technique did you just use? came the stiff voice from the masked figure. Jian Wushuang replied nonchalantly, Starry Sky Sword Technique!

Youre lying!

The masked figure shook his head, refusing to believe it was the Starry Sky Sword Technique. He hailed from the Starry Sky; how could he have not seen such a technique? It even broke through his Utmost Freedom Technique!!

I have no reason to deceive you. This is the Starry Sky Sword Technique Ive created. Perhaps its not known as Starry Sky where you come from, but its the Starry Sky I envisioned! Jian Wushuangs expression was impa.s.sive.

At the moment of victory, he didnt feel much joy.

Because it seemed like he truly attained a sense of freedom.

This state of mind was peculiar.

He barely had time to savor it before it vanished.

Perhaps!

The masked figures body restored once more.

As he looked at Jian Wushuang, there was a hint of peculiarity in his eyes.

You are the first pract.i.tioner to defeat me in our first encounter. No wonder you were chosen! The masked figure acknowledged Jian Wushuangs strength.

It wasnt just his strength; what truly impressed him was Jian Wushuangs swordsmans.h.i.+p. Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow and said, Has anyone else come to the Nine Tribulations Tower before?

Many have. Not long ago, a Celestial Maiden from your Temporal River came here. It took her 10,000 attempts to defeat my avatar here at the first layer!

Jian Wushuang was startled by this revelation.

It wasnt that he found it too outrageous.

It was the mention of the Celestial Maiden that stunned him.

Not long ago?

The others sense of time was exaggerated.

It had been billions of epochs since the fall of the Celestial Maiden.

Tens of thousands of cras.

In other words, more than thousands of Universe Masters at the Eighth Tribulation were

born and perished.

What an immensely long epoch it had been.

Yet, to the other, it seemed like just a short while ago.

Could it be that the Celestial Maiden had not fallen yet?

That was also a possibility.

Ah, they had been intercepted by the Celestial Maiden when they entered here.

It was Hu Qing who had stopped her.

And Hu Qing had also fallen into the Ancient Moon Ruins.

That was where the Celestial Maiden had fallen.

This had always been a puzzle!

Now there was a chance to inquire about the Celestial Maidens situation from the other

party.

But the response from the masked figure left him dumbfounded.

The Celestial Maiden had indeed fallen, but her spirit remained in this world.

Which meant transcending reincarnation,

Transcending reincarnation meant eternity.

If she existed eternally, how could she fall?

Jian Wushuang was utterly confused.

Just as he was about to ask the figure, the masked person removed their mask,

A delicate face appeared before him.

Neither male nor female!

The complexion was ghastly pale!

White hair, coiled atop the head, with a tall hairpin,

Behind him, there was a huge circular ring, much wider than his body.

From now on, you can call me Weiss!

As soon as the words fell, a scepter fell into Weisss hand.

The Origin Source and divine power aura on the figure disappeared.

Now when Jian Wushuang looked at him, it was as if he were looking at thin air.

If it werent for his eyes, he wouldnt even sense the figures presence with his Thought

power alone.

When facing a Universe Master at the Seventh Tribulation, he would always feel a sun-like

aura if they didnt deliberately hide it.

But facing Weiss, Jian Wushuang didnt sense anything.

It was very strange.

Either the figure deliberately restrained his aura, or his strength far surpa.s.sed Jian

Wushuangs.

Weiss? Jian Wushuang muttered to himself, then asked, Can you now tell me the purpose

of this Nine Tribulations Tower?

Weiss covered his mouth with a smile and said, Of course, now I am your master, and I can

tell you everything you want to know!

Master?

Jian Wushuang exclaimed, You want to be my master?

He hadnt expected such a bizarre thing to happen after refining a treasure.

He even had to apprentice!

But what he cared most about was still the Nine Tribulations Tower, whether it had any

connection to Teacher Xuan Yi,

Was it resonating with the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard because they were both Temporal Treasures, or because of Teacher Xuan Yi?

Now the other party had come out and wanted him to be his disciple.

It made Jian Wushuang feel a bit at a loss.

But when he thought that even the Celestial Maiden had to attempt it tens of thousands of

times before pa.s.sing, and he could pa.s.s it in one go, a sense of satisfaction naturally arose.

It seemed like apprenticing wouldnt be a loss.

Jian Wushuang took a deep breath, ready to kneel down to apprentice, but was stopped by

Weiss.

You dont need to be so formal. In my world, the master-disciple relations.h.i.+p is just a tool!

Weisss words were straightforward, leaving Jian Wushuang momentarily unsure how to

respond.

Weiss continued, Youll understand later. And about this tower, its not called Nine

Mid-sentence, Weiss seemed to remember something, then shook his head lightly, saying, Lets just call it the Nine Tribulations Tower!

Why did the Celestial Maiden fall while youre still alive? Jian Wushuang spoke more freely

in response to Weisss directness.

Upon hearing this, Weisss expression froze for a moment. Then, he tapped Jian Wushuangs head with his scepter and said discontentedly, I am a G.o.d, how could I die, huh? After saying this, he covered his mouth and laughed.

By common sense, the Celestial Maiden should have been his disciple, so its no wonder he

said its just a tool.
