"What's going on?" Song Xia asked, puzzled, but for the time being, it was a good thing.
After Song Luo obtained the sword, he felt as if he had divine assistance. The sword seemed to have been tailor-made for him, and the mechanical beasts in front of him fell down one after another.
"I'll give it a try too." Bai Xiao prepared to grab the other weapon. On the other side was a jet-black hammer, a crimson bow, and a silver whip. He reached for the hammer.
However, as soon as he got close, he was attacked by an invisible shockwave and sent flying backward.
"I don't believe it." He went to pick up the bow next to him, but the result was the same.
Upon seeing this, Song Xia aimed for the whip and reached out, the powerful shockwave making her arm go numb.
Song Luo asked, puzzled, "Does that mean only I can take it?"
As he spoke, he reached for the whip, but this time he failed. However, even though he didn't get it, he wasn't attacked like Song Xia and Bai Xiao.
"Could it be that this sword is destined for me?" He happily admired the long sword in his hand, but Song Xia vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Be careful!" As Song Xia pondered, several mechanical beasts quietly approached from behind her. Without thinking, Song Luo rushed over and wiped out several mechanical beasts at the Fusion Stage with a single sword strike.
Song Luo was dazed: "Am I that powerful?"
Song Xia now realized something was wrong. Even if the weapon had an added effect, Song Luo was only at the Nascent Soul stage. How could he so easily defeat several Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the same time?
"Do you experience any discomfort when using this sword?"
"No." Song Luo struck a few more times, even managing to inflict some wounds on the mechanical beast at the Mahayana stage. He himself became suspicious. "It doesn't make sense. How come my spiritual energy hasn't been depleted much?"
Anything unusual must be a sign of something sinister. No matter how miraculous this sword is, Song Luo dares not use it again.
"Throw it away," Song Xia said decisively.
As soon as she finished speaking, all three of them clearly felt that the mechanical beasts attacking her became even more ferocious.
"There was definitely something wrong." Even though she liked it a lot, Song Luo didn't hesitate any longer and threw the sword far away.
The number of mechanical beasts hadn't decreased. Song Xia looked at the passage and said to them, "Leave from that side."
As soon as these words were spoken, the mechanical beasts surged even more toward the passage.
Song Xia sneered: "As expected, there is conscious control involved."
She turned her gaze to the skull to the due north: "You're the one behind this, aren't you? Well then, I'll let you taste what it's like to be completely blown up."
She had previously exchanged energy from Xiaoling for three quantum bombs, used one to deal with Qin Taiming, and now has two left.
"Back off!"
Song Luo and Bai Xiao were in perfect sync, running away almost without looking back.
"Boom!" The huge shockwave caused Song Xia's blood to surge, even though she was wearing basic protective magic artifacts.
After the bombing, the walls and ceiling of the main hall were cracked, and almost half of the mechanical beasts were damaged in the explosion. However, they had no sense of pain and would continue to attack as long as they could still move.
Song Xia didn't dare to delay for a moment in order to meet up with Song Luo and the others, but the long sword seemed to have eyes and kept following behind Song Luo.
Upon hearing the commotion in the secret realm, Qin Xiuyang's expression changed, and he rushed over.
"I don't believe it's such a coincidence that you received the inheritance."
He followed the sound and rushed in again, triggering another beast tide. But this time, he did not stand idly by. Instead, he was more determined than ever to eliminate several ferocious beasts at the Tribulation Transcending stage. After penetrating deep into the beast tide's lair, he finally found a solid wall.
"So this is where it is." Without the slightest hesitation, he directly broke through with his sword.
"It's him!" Song Xia affirmed, because apart from Qin Taiming, no one else in this secret realm could do such a thing.
So she made a decision and ran in Qin Taiming's direction.
The two sides quickly met up, and when Qin Taiming saw the mechanical beast behind Song Xia and the others, his breathing became rapid. Mechanical beasts of this level could absolutely not be made on the Qingyang Continent.
"Here you go." As they drew closer, Song Luo picked up the longsword that had been following him and threw it away forcefully.
Qin Taiming, being a sword cultivator, could naturally sense the extraordinary nature of this sword. He even found a suitable reason for Song Luo to give him the sword: they must have been greedy and taken the sword, and then failed the test.
But he was not afraid, so he immediately grasped the sword, his heart pounding with excitement.
This is undoubtedly a magical artifact from the celestial realm, so the inheritance must be inside.
Facing the mechanical beasts surging towards him, Qin Taiming looked at them with disdain. They were nothing but a bunch of mindless trash. Monsters are monsters; they couldn't even pass this little test.
He ignored the three who had escaped; his priority now was to obtain the inheritance.
After passing the trouble on to Qin Taiming, Song Xia and the others felt much more relaxed. They didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second.
"Mother, how do you know there's something wrong with that sword?"
Song Xia shook her head: "Intuition."
Song Luo was still shaken: "Thinking back now, there was definitely something strange after I got that sword. Even though I usually use my own sword techniques, it was as if that sword could control me. If it really wanted me to get the inheritance, how could it affect my mind?"
"That skeleton might still have some intelligence left, just waiting for someone to possess it!" Bai Xiao said casually, but it made Song Xia and Song Luo's expressions turn serious.
"But if that's the case, why was the underground palace built so secretly?"
"Perhaps he can't easily possess someone; certain conditions must be met?"
"Moreover, that skeleton was human. Among the three of us, only I have human blood."
"Most importantly, you are the youngest and have broken through the limitations of half-demon cultivation. Your body may have a greater potential for future achievements."
This is the most reasonable explanation. To know whether their judgment is accurate, we only need to look at Qin Taiming's future changes.
"Mother, what do we do now?"
“We will return to Sunset Forest to cultivate. No matter how skilled the skeleton and Qin Taiming are, they are only at the late stage of Tribulation Transcending in Qingyang Continent. As long as our cultivation level increases, no matter how many schemes and tricks they have, they cannot do anything to us.”
With the cover of the ferocious beast tide, Song Xia and his group made their way smoothly, but the other cultivators in this secret realm were in a terrible predicament.
Of course, some noticed that this commotion was different from the past, so they rushed towards the underground palace.
This beast tide has become Qin Xiuyang's playground, who has been wandering in the secret realm. Before, he needed to ambush cultivators, but now he doesn't need to exert any effort at all.
"Master, what are you doing? This disciple can no longer become an immortal, so please stay with this disciple." He smiled sinisterly, then possessed a cultivator and went to him.
At this moment, Qin Taiming had already seen the skeleton and could no longer hide his excitement. He had finally found it!
The excited Qin Taiming didn't notice anything amiss, and even kowtowed to the skull.
