Chapter 345: Chapter 276: Cloud Sword
Su Yuan pressed on through the desolate ancient battlefield. Hours flew by, and he had already seen thousands of Star Devices, most of which were Blue Star Artifacts.
“Almost there.”
Su Yuan glanced at the Artifact Guide on the back of his hand. As he continued to approach, the wisp of Clear Energy became increasingly brighter.
And the direction it pointed…
Su Yuan looked up. Not far ahead stood a towering peak reaching into the clouds, and around the peak circled a ring of white clouds.
A silver flash in Su Yuan’s eyes, and he instantly teleported into mid-air, employing Elemental Magnetism Pressure to fly over.
Not long after, Su Yuan arrived at the edge of the white clouds circling the high peak.
“Looks like this is the place. If I didn’t master the Flying Technique, it would have been quite a challenge to get here…”
The Pure Qi Guide on the back of Su Yuan’s hand had stopped spinning. After a flicker, it merged into the white clouds before him.
Yes, the white clouds, not the peak.
X-raying through the clouds, Su Yuan could see a Star Device moving within, like a white dragon.
Quickly, Su Yuan reached out and grabbed into the cloud.
“Zheng!”
With a resonant sound, Su Yuan had already seized a white longsword, as ethereal as the clouds.
The longsword, accustomed to freedom, trembled intensely in Su Yuan’s grip.
Su Yuan had also discerned the Star Device’s information.
[Cloud Sword]
[Grade: Blue]
[Element: Water, Cloud]
[Introduction: A longsword refined using a special Water Refining Technique, possessing high amplification and mysterious powers]
“A longsword huh…” Su Yuan pondered.
Though switching from a saber to a sword wouldn’t significantly impact a Star Card Master and one could adapt quickly.
Su Yuan had been used to wielding a saber; unless necessary, he did not want to change his weapon.
Looking at the Cloud Sword that vibrated violently in his grasp, wanting to return to the clouds, Su Yuan sensed its awesome power. But more detailed information about this sword would only be known after taming it.
“Let’s take it down first and see.”
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed. He immediately communicated with the sword using his Star Power.
Instantly, a black Sword Heart Space unfolded. With the scene changing, a young man in white robes now stood before Su Yuan.
The youth’s features were handsome, his face like a polished jade, with brilliant eyes that exuded a transcendent aura.
As for his Cultivation Realm… It was at the Gold Limit!
“Even a soulless Artifact Holder recreated by the Sword Heart Space from this sword’s memory has such an extraordinary aura…”
Su Yuan evaluated the figure. If he was not mistaken, this youth must have been a remarkable prodigy in ancient times.
The youth in white raised the longsword, white mist swirling around it, and a burgeoning light appeared, followed by layers of white clouds rolling out from beneath his feet.
In mere moments, the white clouds had filled the entire Sword Heart Space.
“Not even Star Power can block these clouds?”
Su Yuan had attempted to use Star Power to isolate the white clouds but found it easily penetrated like a sieve.
At that moment, a longsword silently slashed at Su Yuan from behind; the youth in white robes had somehow appeared behind him.
As if prepared, Su Yuan turned to meet the attack with the Phoenix Perch Saber.
Although the space was filled with clouds, the All-Knowing Vision, using space as an intermediary, was completely obstructed.
However, combined with the X-ray functionality, he could still easily detect energy movements within!
Su Yuan swung the saber to counter the attack. Just as the sword and saber were about to clash, the Cloud Sword transmuted from solid to cloud-like, passing through the Phoenix Perch Saber and instantly solidifying, aiming at Su Yuan’s chest!
“Oh? Quite a trick.” Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, but he neither dodged nor flinched.
The Cloud Sword slashed at his chest, as if slicing through air, passing directly through Su Yuan.
It was a partial Phase Transfer.
The white-robed youth missed the strike. Su Yuan’s slightly slowed Phoenix Perch Saber was about to strike next.
At that moment, the white-clad youth transformed into a cluster of white clouds, blending into the surrounding white clouds, avoiding the strike.
“Quite agile with many tricks up his sleeve.”
Su Yuan nodded, silently making an assessment.
But as he had already experienced some of the Cloud Sword’s powers, Su Yuan had no intention of exchanging more moves.
Seeing the white-robed youth hiding in the clouds again, Su Yuan’s mind stirred. Black flames surged from within him!
Below Shining Star, the Divine Fire was almost unrivaled.
How could mere clouds resist the domineering Divine Fire?
Wherever the Black Flame touched, the surrounding white clouds crumbled effortlessly after slight resistance!
The white-robed youth, transformed into cloud form, could only fall back continually with the retreating white clouds.
With silver light glistening in his eyes, Su Yuan had already locked onto his movements. His left hand clenched slightly, and the Sky Lock shot out from the void, binding the white-robed youth.
The youth, surrounded by white mist, tried to use magic to escape, but his expression changed as he realized escaping the Sky Lock’s binding was impossible.
At that moment, the raging Black Flame surged in, engulfing him in an instant…
As the Sword Heart Space shrank and dissipated, Su Yuan reappeared at the edge of the solitary peak. The white clouds had dispersed, and the Cloud Sword now rested steadily in his hand.
With the sword subdued, Su Yuan also learned more detailed information.
