CHAPTER 939: CHAPTER 933: TREASURED GIFTS

"Did you see the Spirit Martial Emperor?"

After returning to reality, Ye Xuan saw the Tower Spirit looking at him with a smile.

"Spirit Martial Emperor?"

Ye Xuan was startled, not expecting the human-shaped light figure he just saw to have such significance.

"The Spirit Martial Emperor is an ancient supreme being, the first owner of the Martial God Tower," said the Tower Spirit.

The Tower Spirit’s words undoubtedly surprised Ye Xuan. To conquer this Martial God Tower, his divine skills must be truly earth-shattering.

"This armor is called Xingtian, and the sword is called Void. Both are of the grade of Innate Holy Artifacts, comparable to Divine Artifacts. They are the personal weapons and equipment of the Spirit Martial Emperor."

The Tower Spirit spoke calmly.

"Innate Holy Artifacts?"

A gleam appeared in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Two Innate Holy Artifacts; unexpectedly, the Eighth Floor is indeed a place rich in treasures.

"Was what just happened considered a test?"

Ye Xuan was somewhat taken aback.

"Sort of."

The Tower Spirit nodded, "In fact, when I led you into the Eighth Floor, you had already passed the test. The appearance of the Spirit Martial Emperor’s remnant soul was merely a symbolic probe."

"The Spirit Martial Emperor is an ancient strongman. Has no one come to claim these treasures on the Eighth Floor after all these years?" Ye Xuan was curious.

"There are almost no people who meet the criteria. You must know, to reach the Eighth Floor, besides strength, there’s something equally important, and that is potential."

The Tower Spirit shook its head, "The reason I asked you to seek me out in the first place is not for your bit of strength, but for your boundless potential."

"So that’s it."

Ye Xuan revealed a look of realization. It seems the Tower Spirit’s requirements are not low; otherwise, he would not be the only one to meet them.

"Wear them."

The Tower Spirit opened its small hands.

"In that case, it would be impolite to refuse."

Ye Xuan, not being a pretentious person, immediately inhaled without hesitation to draw the armor and weapon to himself.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The pieces of armor automatically flew onto Ye Xuan’s body, assembling and fitting together. In the blink of an eye, Ye Xuan was rapidly clad in a layer of armor, flashing with purple-gold light—an extremely magnificent battle armor appeared on Ye Xuan, with such brilliance that it dazzled the eyes.

The purple-gold sword also automatically flew into Ye Xuan’s hands, its purple-gold patterns lighting up inch by inch, sharp and glaring.

"Void Emperor Sword."

Four radiant characters surfaced in Ye Xuan’s mind, emitting an endless aura of majesty.

Swish!

Ye Xuan swung the sword, and the purple-gold Sword Qi broke through the void, splitting the space before him in two.

"What a powerful sword."

Ye Xuan was equally astonished by the power of this Void Emperor Sword, cutting through space as if slicing tofu; compared to the Thunder Abyss Sword, it’s undoubtedly several times sharper.

"The sword seems to contain a deeper level of power."

Ye Xuan infused True Yuan into the Void Emperor Sword. As he swung the Void Emperor Sword, it suddenly glowed with brilliant purple light. Under the illumination of the purple light, the nearby ground and sword crystallized at an extremely fast speed, the crystallization gradually expanded, eventually covering an area of several tens of meters.

"What kind of power is this?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"It’s the power of crystallization, turning everything into a crystalline form, including life," the Tower Spirit replied calmly.

"Crystallization, so that’s it." Ye Xuan caressed the sword in his hand, "And it’s not just any crystallization, but Purple Crystallization, capable of extinguishing all life."

Chant!

As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, with a thought, the sword in his hand suddenly enlarged, from four feet two to one zhang, two zhang, three zhang, ... ten zhang, the gigantic Void Emperor Sword, larger than Ye Xuan himself many times over, obscured his figure.

With the enlargement of the Void Emperor Sword, the resulting commotion was terrifying. Within the space of the Eighth Floor, the Sword Qi surged like a gale. In the next moment, numerous sword-shaped Qi Forces spiraled upwards, hovering in mid-air, slowly rotating around the Void Emperor Sword like a myriad of swords worshiping.

Soon after, Ye Xuan successfully imprinted his soul mark on the Void Emperor Sword and Xingtian Armor.

"Shrink."

Through the soul mark, Ye Xuan controlled the Void Emperor Sword. Whoosh!

The Void Emperor Sword returned to its original size, four feet two inches.

His right hand tightly held the Void Emperor Sword, and Ye Xuan, without infusing True Yuan, casually swung it twice.

Chop, chop!

In the void appeared two red death crystal scars, like a crimson scar. Imagine, even an ordinary person wielding the Void Emperor Sword could kill a formidable Martial Artist, provided they can lift it. The Void Emperor Sword weighs over ten thousand pounds, not something an average person can control.

"Ye Xuan, the Void Emperor Sword and Xingtian Armor are rare treasures in this world. With your current strength and the many treasures on you, even if facing a Sealing Emperor Strongman, you have the power to contend," said the Tower Spirit.

"Indeed."

Ye Xuan was never afraid of Sealing Emperor Strongmen. Now, with these Innate Holy Artifacts for offense and defense, his strength undoubtedly multiplies.

Xingtian Armor, able to slowly absorb True Yuan within the body, eventually reaching ten times the intensity of Protective True Essence, meaning Ye Xuan’s defense will improve tenfold.

Even if Ye Xuan stood motionless, this Xingtian Armor could resist a massive onslaught.

"Well, since you’ve captured the two great treasures, we should leave now."

The Tower Spirit waved its hand, having completed its task; it wasn’t as excited as Ye Xuan.

"Let’s go."

Ye Xuan nodded, now that the treasures were in hand, there was no reason to stay on the Eighth Floor.

With a wave of the Tower Spirit’s hand, the two were enveloped by a spatial vortex and disappeared.

"The Spirit Martial Great Saint was an ancestor of the Human Clan. Ye Xuan, I hope you can protect the Human Clan for prosperity and prosperity."

Back on the Seventh Floor, the Tower Spirit spoke to Ye Xuan.

"The prosperity of the Human Clan is not decided by me alone. Through natural selection and the survival of the fittest, I will do what I must, but doing more doesn’t guarantee better results."

Ye Xuan said nonchalantly.

"Let me send you out."

The Tower Spirit did not say much and began to cast spells, preparing to teleport Ye Xuan out.

Spatial fluctuations rose around, and Ye Xuan gradually vanished into the distorted space.

...

Heavenly Martial Holy Land.

After returning from the Martial God Tower, Ye Xuan did not rush to leave, but stayed for a while longer.

Wherever Ye Xuan passed, Heavenly Martial Holy Land disciples would occasionally hurry past, and some young female disciples with flushed faces would gaze at him with curiosity and a bit of shy admiration, calling out from afar with various "Brother Ye Xuan"-like exclamations, creating a lively atmosphere.

Ye Xuan also smiled and nodded at those Heavenly Martial Holy Land disciples. Looking at the excited and even worshipful disciples, the string-like tension in his mood was also relieved. It felt the same as years ago when he just entered here.

Over the years, Ye Xuan had experienced so much life and death, sometimes feeling weary, but now he undeniably felt an unprecedented ease. On the Spirit Martial Continent, it was a kind of peace, away from scheming and intrigue, a sense of lightness.
