Chapter 135: The Dragon-Slaying Treasure Blade

At that moment, Lin Xing suddenly heard the Qilin's voice in his mind: "Kid, you're from Huaxia too, aren't you? How did you get here?"

Lin Xing was taken aback but quickly realized the Qilin was communicating with him telepathically. He immediately replied, "Yes, I am from Huaxia. I ended up here by accident."

"I thought so. I also came from Huaxia; I came here following that blade. That blade accompanied my master, and with his dying breath, he told me to wait for the next person from Huaxia and give this blade to them. It seems that person is you."

"Don't be so quick to refuse," the Qilin quickly added upon seeing Lin Xing's hesitation. "Whether you're the true destined one, I can't be sure. My former master placed a restriction on the blade. You'll find out when you try."

Seeing the Qilin's unusual behavior and Lin Xing's hesitation, Can Yue spoke up: "Lin Xing, why not give it a try? After all, the Qilin says you're the destined one. If you can't take it, so be it. I doubt he'd dare try anything." He shot a glance at the Qilin as he spoke.

The Qilin merely snorted.

Lin Xing nodded. He glanced at Can Yue, then at the Qilin, and said, "Alright, I'll try."

Lin Xing slowly walked toward the blade embedded in the ground. With each step, the pull grew stronger. By the time he reached its side, the feeling was practically screaming at him.

Looking at this majestic, awe-inspiring treasure blade, which was over two meters long, Lin Xing felt a surge of heroic spirit. Letting out a roar, he leaped up, planting a foot on the hilt.

"Kid, just fuse a drop of your essence blood with the blade, and you'll become its next master," the Qilin's voice sounded eager. This blade, guarded for thousands of years, might finally find its next master today. The treasure blade would once again know glory!

Hearing this, Lin Xing extended his right hand. Concentrating, he willed a drop of essence blood to the surface. With a flick of his finger, the drop of blood landed on the hilt.

Strangely, as soon as the essence blood touched the hilt, it was absorbed. Simultaneously, a bit of information suddenly appeared in Lin Xing's mind. His vision went dark, and he found himself in a void.

Suddenly, Lin Xing seemed to hear the sounds of a distant battle. Curious, he willed himself closer, and with a shift in consciousness, he appeared above the combat zone.

Looking down, he saw a fierce battle underway. A young man wielding a treasure blade was facing off against six others. They seemed evenly matched.

"Jiu Yang Divine Lord, hand over your cultivation method and the Dragon-Slaying Blade without a fight, and we'll spare your life. Otherwise…" one of the six, a red-haired man, said to the young man holding the blade.

"Hmph!" The young man with the blade snorted disdainfully. "You think you six pieces of trash can make me hand over the Dragon Slaying Sword? Dream on!"

"Don't make this harder than it has to be!" the red-haired man sneered. After all, all six of them were Divine Beings of the same level as Jiu Yang Divine Lord. With six of them joining forces, they weren't afraid they couldn't handle a single Jiu Yang Divine Lord.

"Hmph!" Jiu Yang Divine Lord didn't even bother responding. Instead, he redoubled his efforts, fighting them fiercely.

Suddenly, the scene before Lin Xing changed again. He was still in the void, but three of the seven were gone, leaving only four. A massive spatial rift had torn open below, and Lin Xing could even see the raging spatial turbulence within!

"Just you wait, I will return!" Jiu Yang Divine Lord's voice echoed through heaven and earth. Lin Xing saw that Jiu Yang Divine Lord had self-destructed. Those spatial rifts were caused by his explosion.

A black shadow flashed before Lin Xing's eyes, and he saw Jiu Yang Divine Lord's treasure blade, the Dragon Slaying Sword, shoot into the spatial rift with a "whoosh," disappearing without a trace.

The vision faded, and Lin Xing returned to reality.

Now, Lin Xing knew that this blade was named Dragon Slayer. Its former master was that Jiu Yang Divine Lord. Because it tore through a spatial rift, it ended up in this place.

Remembering what he'd seen, Lin Xing suddenly felt a surge of grief and indignation. He let out a long cry toward the sky, gripped the blade with both hands, and shouted, "Rise!" Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

Strange phenomena suddenly erupted in the sky. After a thunderclap, a brilliant light shot up thousands of feet into the air. An immense aura filled the entire space.

The Dragon Slaying Sword trembled excitedly, its mournful hums resonating throughout the surrounding space.

At that moment, across the entire Kalas Continent, all warriors whose weapons were blades felt their weapons trembling uncontrollably. With a "whoosh," the blades flew out of their sheaths and embedded themselves in the ground nearby, their entire bodies trembling and humming.

The warriors all looked at their weapons in shock and horror, unsure of what was happening.

This phenomenon lasted for a while before disappearing, and the continent returned to its former calm. However, people's hearts were no longer at peace. Everyone began inquiring about the cause of this strange occurrence.

Meanwhile, the various major factions in the Beast Forest also witnessed this phenomenon. "A treasure has appeared!" was their first thought.

Just as they were about to head toward the source of the phenomenon, heaven and earth returned to tranquility, as if it had all been an illusion—but it definitely wasn't!

As everything calmed down, Lin Xing stood there with his eyes closed, holding the Dragon Slaying Sword. However, the blade had now shrunk to a normal size.

Suddenly, Lin Xing's tightly shut eyes snapped open. He stopped communicating with the Dragon Slaying Sword, and with a flash of shadow, the blade was absorbed into his body. In another black flash, he appeared before Can Yue and the others.

"Kid, you really are the destined one," the Qilin praised.

"Lin Xing, congratulations," Can Yue said, somewhat surprised but still offering his congratulations. "It seems this blade has quite a background, no less than those divine artifacts!" he marveled. The imposing aura the Dragon Slaying Sword had just emitted had made Can Yue realize its extraordinary nature.

"Yes, this blade is indeed powerful. Let's talk more when we get back," Lin Xing said with a smile.

"Wait a moment, kid," the Qilin suddenly called out to Lin Xing. Lin Xing looked at the Qilin in confusion. Suddenly, he felt something flying toward his forehead, followed by the Qilin transforming into a black shadow and disappearing into his chest.

The Qilin's voice echoed in his mind: "Kid, from now on, you are my master. I'll rest inside you for now." Then, it fell silent.

"He's acknowledged me as his master," Lin Xing said with a wry smile to the two wide-eyed individuals beside him.

"Strange, truly strange!" Can Yue sighed. Then, with a wave of his hand, Lin Xing and the others instantly reappeared inside the house.
