The material used on the sheath was only of the ninth tier, which seemed extremely “crude” in comparison.
It made sense, though, since the scabbard was not meant to be used for battle anyway; to use a Level Ten rare metal to forge the sheath would be extremely wasteful. Moreover, even if it was made with a metal at Level Nine, it would already make one feel it had soaring opulence.
“The Number One Killing Sword In The World?” Ling Han saw six characters written on the sword. Would this be the name of the sword?
“It’s again the number one in the world. Isn’t this a bit high-profile? It doesn’t match my character!” He threw the sheath into the Black Tower; this stuff was useless. It would be better to melt it down and forge it into an arrow to better make use of its characteristics.
“You have such strong killing aura. Henceforth, you shall be called ‘Revere Life Sword’—don’t kill lightly. It is natural law that all living beings are to grow, so you can’t arbitrarily deprive other creatures of their right to live.” Ling Han laughed.
He shook the sword gently, and martial intent surged within. Weng , a few array immediately patterns lit up. When he delivered a slash with the sword, ten sword flashes suddenly appeared. Pu, pu, pu , the walls around him were instantly left with ten shallow slash marks.
“It’s so powerful!” Ling Han was speechless. This stone chamber had withstood the battle between him and the Revere Life Sword without collapsing, which showed just how sturdy it was. However, now that there were already slash marks left behind after a single strike, this also proved the formidable strength of Revere Life Sword.
He slashed once more with the sword. This time, Sword Ray swept out from the sword. Hong , a dent about 30 centimeters deep suddenly appeared on the wall. However, the amazing thing was that the wall actually began trembling, and the slash mark very quickly disappeared.
Ling Han was shocked: this Tool Pavilion actually had self-recovery abilities?
Hiss , this Tool Pavilion was a treasure in itself!
Ling Han felt tempted; if he could also keep this Tool Pavilion, then wouldn’t all the things inside be his?
Pa , just at this moment, the originally closed door suddenly opened.
He had obtained the treasured sword, so there wasn’t any reason to stay here.
Ling Han stowed the Revere Life Sword into the Black Tower, side by side with the Demon Birth Sword, both blades held midair in suspension. Yet, Demon Birth Sword actually lowered automatically slightly, not daring to be on the same level with the former, showing the dominance of the Revere Life Sword.
Swords had spirits of their own, and would also compare with their peers!
Ling Han stepped out of the stone chamber. The stairs were in front of him. He looked around and saw that there were several stone chambers on this floor, but each one had been sealed tightly. He tried to open them, but neither using fists nor a sword could break the doors and allow him to enter.
Helpless, he could only take the stairs to go down to the next level. On the next floor, there were again several stone chambers and a flight of stairs. He didn’t try to break through the doors, but headed straight down the stairs. Previously, he had been on the fifth floor, so he had to continue going down four flight of stairs before he finally returned to the ground floor.
He stepped out and saw that there were still many people around, eager to try out the martial stone.
“Ling Han! Ling Han!” Hu Niu jumped over and immediately dived straight into his arms. She hung onto his neck, and said, “You’ve been away for so long! Niu missed you to death!”
Ling Han didn’t know how long he had been cultivating inside the Black Tower, so he turned around to ask the approaching Zhu Xuan Er, “How long have I been inside?”
“Twenty days,” Zhu Xuan Er informed him.
Oh, so long!
Ling Han only felt that he had just blinked his eyes, and it hadn’t even been a day. How could it be that twenty days had passed?
“Did you guys obtain anything?” he asked with a smile.
“Yes! Yes!” Hu Niu immediately jumped out of his arms. “Niu got something fun!” She suddenly summoned an enormous pair of scissors that was slightly taller than even herself. It was entirely red in color, and when the scissors were closed together, they resembled a coiled dragon that was covered in scales. The pointed tip was a dragon’s head, vivid and lifelike.
“Go!” The little brat shouted, and the scissors immediately flew out. They actually transformed into a red dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws while emitting formidable divine might.
“Oh, Dragon Fang Shears. Lord Rabbit has seen this before in the notebook left behind by my ancestor!” Rabbit said. “According to legend, a true dragon died in this realm, and as the dragon’s blood spread out, it spawned countless treasured medicine, while the dragon’s bones turned into mountains and became what is known now as the holy land for the five great sects. Furthermore, some of them have become deadly zones of this realm, and hold great danger. The only thing that did not change was the dragon’s fang.
“A long time ago, a great master of martial arts got ahold of this dragon fang and forged it into the Dragon Fang Shears. When stimulated fully, it can possess the power of a real dragon’s bite!”
Everyone was shocked. Such a treasure was actually obtained by Hu Niu.
Incredible, incredible. This treasure would arouse the interest of even Shattering Void Tier cultivators!
Ling Han smiled. He had obtained the Revere Life Sword—even if it was to come up against Xu Xiu Ran’s Ultimate Saber, he would have the ability to counterattack. Furthermore, Hu Niu also had the Dragon Fang Shears, so the abilities on their side had made great progress.
Zhu Xuan Er, Wenren Qian Qian, and Yuan Cheng He had also obtained their rewards. However, they had obtained only Level Eight Spirit Tools, which was a far cry in comparison to Ling Han and Hu Niu. Sure enough, the results they achieved on the martial stone directly affected their rewards.
With this, Xu Xiu Ran and Dong Ling’er, who had concealed their strength, would definitely die of depression.
Rabbit had also obtained a treasure, but it adamantly refused to say what it was, which made everyone else curious.
Ling Han did not see the Rain Emperor or Mu Rong Qing. He asked Zhu Xuan Er and got to know that the two had actually been here, but they had already left. Now, they each led a team and became the boss; their actions for the purpose of the overall plan had to be reconsidered.
“Ling Han!” Jia Ming appeared, staring at Ling Han, his eyes emitting a bloody light.
Chapter 723 - Well Done

“Want to fight?” Ling Han asked laughingly. He had now mastered the art of coupling toughness with gentleness where they complemented each other to create an ideal mix. He was completely fearless even if Jia Ming was a whole cultivation tier above him.
“Hmph, it’s not a fight, but my executing you!” Jia Ming retorted with a prideful air. So what if the secret techniques mastered by Ling Han were superior to his? In the end, without attaining a certain cultivation level, and without attaining the level of major accomplishment in the secret techniques, he could still totally crush Ling Han.
“Then let’s have a fight!” Ling Han naturally was not afraid to fight.
“Handsome Little Brother, what are you fighting over?” It was at this moment that a sweet and charming voice rang out. The terrifying aura struck unsuspectingly, making everyone feel as if there was a rock pressing down on their chests. It was so difficult to bear that it made one only wanted to spit out blood.
The throngs of people couldn’t help but part, and there, amidst the crowd, one could see a tall and slender yet well filled-out figure of a beautiful lady. She sat upright with her legs laid out horizontally atop the body of a huge demonic lion. The demonic lion was so imposing and fiercely powerful that it was alarming. Its entire body was covered in scales
, akin to those of a dragon’s, and its presence was even more terrifying as if it could shake the stars and constellations off the skies with just a roar.
In reality, it could indeed accomplish such a feat as it was an existence of the Shattering Void Tier.
The Lunar King had arrived.
“This, This… who is this? With such overly terrifying presence… My heart is about to explode!”
“Moreover, what an astonishing beauty! Look at that bosom, it is so voluptuous that I definitely would not be able to hold it in with one hand. Wouldn’t it be great if I could just have a touch?”
Pa!
Someone had cast lustful looks upon the Lunar King, and unwittingly spoke those lewd thoughts aloud. Immediately, his whole head exploded, leaving the headless body to rock and sway a few times before falling down with a loud crash, thoroughly dead.
When the others saw this, they were all overwhelmed with shock, staring at the Lunar King with deep fear.
That was because she had stretched out her long, slender, and fair hand, her finger pointed at that person, so evidently she was the one who had killed him.
The problem here was not whether that person’s strength was strong or not, but rather the majority of the people here all possessed very powerful backgrounds. Making such an unbridled attack, aren’t you afraid that it would give cause to disaster?
Only a handful of people knew that this particular mistress was in fact at the Shattering Void Tier. There was no need for her to fear anyone in this realm! Furthermore, for him to have dared to have the audacity to utter such lecherous words to an elite of the Shattering Void Tier, shouldn’t he be killed?
Even if he was a true disciple of the Heaven’s Sword Sect or the Absolute Saber Sect, he would have definitely died in vain.
How could the Shattering Void Tier tolerate such humiliation?
The Lunar King approached riding on the demonic lion, and even Jia Ming, who was totally clueless about what it was like to be filled with respect and awe, took a few steps backward, unable to equal the Lunar King’s aura.
His future achievements were a different story, but at least at present, he totally could not compare with the Lunar King.
“I won’t allow you to have any ideas on Hu Niu’s Ling Han!” Hu Niu waved the Dragon Fang Shears as she roared at the Lunar King.
The Lunar King could not help being dazed for an instant. “You have actually obtained the Dragon Fang Shears? What rarity, wasn’t it claimed to be unattainable? Even I was not able to obtain it those years ago… Pei, if I had wanted to obtain it, how could it be possible that I would fail!”
Her beautiful eyes swept across as she remarked, “The lot of you have all used the Stone of Martial Intent, I presume? Hahahahaha, just telling you, I had once left my name inscribed on that stone tablet, the 99th place in all the history of this realm!”
Ling Han’s group were snickering secretly—at present, this master’s name had actually been already struck off from the list. The sudden emergence of three super geniuses, Ling Han, Hu Niu, and Jia Ming, all at the same time had immediately forced down the Lunar King’s name.
The Lunar King was still unaware of this, and looking upon the odd expressions on everyone’s face, asked, “You don’t believe me? Kitten, lead the way, let them have a look at my name!”
The demonic lion was already made completely submissive, truly as if it was just a kitten; it carried the Lunar King to the front of the Stone of Martial Intent.
The Lunar King, apparently filled with pride, pointed her finger at the Stone of Martial Intent and said, “At that time, only I and His Majesty made it onto the list. The other seven kings all merely managed to trigger red light, and absolutely could not compare with me— yi, where did my name go?”
She stared fixedly at the Stone of Martial Intent. Where was her name on the 99th place? Even in the 100th place, she also did not see it.
“After such a long time, this piece of lousy stone has malfunctioned?” she mumbled.
“No, it has been forced down by others already.” Ling Han opened his mouth. “At the very beginning, I did indeed see the Lunar King’s name on the 99th place.”
“What, who would dare to force down my name?” The Lunar King became indignant at once, directing her line of vision to the list as she searched upwards. Very quickly, her gaze fell upon Jia Ming’s name. Immediately, she snapped in a murderous manner. “Which fellow is named Jia Ming?”
Shua , everyone’s gazes settled unwaveringly upon Jia Ming at the same time. It was a conditioned reflex. Words from the mouth of an elite of the Shattering Void Tier would draw out one’s subconscious reactions and influence one’s will.
The expression on the Lunar King’s face instantly turned dangerous as she cracked her fingers, making popping sounds. “So you’re the guy, how dare you force down my name from the list. Tell me, should I chop you into three or five pieces?”
The color drained from Jia Ming’s face. No matter how capable he was, to challenge an elite of the Shattering Void Tier was beyond his capabilities. Furthermore, that person had also made it into the list on the Stone of Martial Intent before. And now, she had even attained the battle prowess of the Shattering Void Tier, which was deemed as nearly achieving the ultimate battle prowess that the Stone of Martial Intent predicted. How formidable was that?
Even if all the prodigies of the Earth Dragon Sect that had been sealed were to appear at the same time, even the strongest among them could not possibly match her.
In a flash, the Lunar King’s expression turned extremely dark as she questioned, “What you mean is that I am very old already?”
“Senior—”
“Senior your sister!” The Lunar King leaped down from the demonic lion’s body, and charged towards Jia Ming, beating him up fiercely. With her strength, she naturally overpowered Jia Ming and thrashed him heavily.
Ling Han was laughing inwardly. The Lunar King was exceedingly sensitive about age, and even Ma Duo Bao, an emperor, was also beaten up. He actually dared to call her senior and even especially emphasized the age gap between the two. He had really run straight into the sharp end of her spear.
Jia Ming felt very wronged, but he could not open his mouth to refute at all. He was beaten by the Lunar King till his nose was bloody and his face was swollen. He felt he has totally become a punching bag; his only fate was to be brutally abused.
Only when the Lunar King was feeling somewhat appeased after beating him did he groan earnestly as he covered his face. “Senior, not only I have made it into the list, there’s also Ling Han and that little girl!”
“Senior?” The Lunar King’s rage which had calmed down with much difficulty surged forth once again. Which part of her looked like a senior to him?
Hit again!
Peng, peng, peng , after a heavy thrashing, the Lunar King smacked her hands and felt her mind and spirit had eased. She looked towards the Stone of Martial Intent, and said, “Which places are the both of you at that you can also surpass me— f***!”
She had caught sight of Ling Han’s and Hu Niu’s names, and they were ranked at the second and the first place, respectively!
Jia Ming looked on and couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth turning into a sneer. He ranked on the 51st place and was already beaten up so badly. Since the two of them ranked first and second, could they still stay alive?
“Hahahaha, you actually made His Majesty, that egoistic maniac, drop into the third place?” The Lunar King suddenly burst into hearty laughter after staring dazedly for a while. “I am about to laugh myself to death. That fatty claimed his battle prowess was unparalleled with such extreme pomposity that he even gave himself a title of ‘first’. Unexpectedly, he has actually been forced down to the third place already. Wahahahaha, I really want to go back and get a look at the expression on that fatty’s face now. I will definitely make him lick my shoes! Well done!”
Chapter 724 - A Shocking Glory

At this moment, the anguish in Jia Ming’s heart must have magnified to an immeasurable extent.
They had all similarly made it into the list, and collectively forced the Lunar King down from it, so why was there such disparity in treatment? He was beaten up, yet Ling Han and Hu Niu were actually praised with a ‘well done’?
Well done your sister, it’s so unfair!
Yet Ling Han was dumbfounded as he remarked, “This ‘first’ was actually that Fatty Ma?”
The Lunar King nodded, then added, “Yes, it’s precisely that fatty! But, His Majesty was not a fatty before; on the contrary, he was an attractive and charming handsome man. If he had deigned to humbly court me, perhaps my heart would also be stirred.”
Every fatty had good potential!
Ling Han could not imagine how that Fatty Ma, whose horizontal width was comparable to his vertical height, had looked like when he was as lean as a lightning bolt. He also did not dare to imagine it, as Fatty Ma’s looks were already ingrained into his mind—no matter what, he could not relate him to being slim.
“You lot sure are impressive, to have actually forced His Majesty down the rankings. Just so you know, that fatty’s combat strength is truly fearsome—even if we, the eight Kings, fight against him together, we would not be his match.” A light glinted in the Lunar King’s beautiful eyes. “No wonder His Majesty has such high regard for you lot that even I also feel envious.”
That Fatty Ma was actually the holder of the first place since the beginning of history!
From the current perspective, it was not wrong to say that. That was because he had indeed already attained perfection of the Shattering Void Tier, and it was certain that he had also mastered the secret techniques he knew to the highest degree, far beyond what Ling Han and Hu Niu could compare with.
After all, he had spent so many years on cultivating extensively.
Ling Han forced himself to stop pondering the fact that Fatty Ma also used to be lean. His heart was filled with great astonishment—the number one since ancient times, what kind of notion was this? Wrong, wrong, if Fatty Ma was so strong, then why had he sealed himself in the first place? Given his strength, he could already have split open the skies at that time.
