Chapter 1241 Godhead Awakening
A vast, ancient, and extremely powerful aura suddenly spread out, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for eternity suddenly opened its eyes!
"What's going on?!" Luo Li was so shocked that she almost dropped the Chaos Jade. The Chaos Jade was vibrating violently in her palm and was as hot as a branding iron.
This has never happened before.
Emperor Xuanming stood up instantly, his heterochromatic pupils gleaming with brilliance. He subconsciously protected Luo Li behind him, and the dark golden soul power around him surged out, forming a barrier. He vigilantly sensed this sudden change.
This power far exceeds any previous fluctuation of inheritance resonance.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, in the direction of the Alliance Academy, and even in the entire Buli City, countless powerful people were startled by the energy fluctuations that soared into the sky, mixed with countless divine lights, and looked towards the center of the City Lord's Mansion in horror.
The light of the Chaos Jade did not continue to burst out, but after reaching its peak, it suddenly shrank inward, turning into several extremely condensed light beams of different colors, which shot towards different directions of Buli City as if they had intelligence.
In the entire city, and even further away, all the geniuses chosen by the divine light, at this moment, no matter what state they are in, are in the critical moment of retreat, in the deep night of deep sleep, in the moment of competition, or on the way.
It was like being struck by lightning!
"Ugh!"
"What?!"
“This power…!”
"Whoever is attacking me, stand up!"
Muffled groans, exclamations, disbelieving growls, and angry curses rang out across the continent.
The moment they were enveloped by the light of the divine nature, an irresistible, vast and majestic divine will forcefully poured into their sea of consciousness like a torrent.
It was a fragment of the ancient god's will, the call of the original law, and an impact that was enough to tear apart the soul and reshape the foundation!
Intense pain swept over them in an instant.
It felt as if countless steel needles were piercing his skull, and as if his entire body had been thrown into a furnace and an ice cellar, being repeatedly tempered. His soul roared, his blood boiled, and his bones groaned under the immense weight.
In an instant, they fainted.
It's as if there is a barrier surrounding them, preventing others from getting close to them.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Li looked at the Chaos Jade in her hand, whose light was gradually fading, and her eyes grew darker.
Emperor Xuanming slowly withdrew the soul power that protected his body, and his heterochromatic eyes were also filled with shock and understanding.
His voice was deep, "The laws of heaven are born in response to catastrophes. It seems that the demon god's fetal movement, the will of the new demon god truly beginning to impact the seal, has become the final fire that ignites these dormant godheads. The catastrophe is approaching, and they can't wait any longer."
Luo Li took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in her heart.
She flashed to the highest point of Buli City, her gaze instantly becoming incomparably sharp, like a sword unsheathed. "Order! All forces within the Gods Alliance, immediately dispatch and search for spiritual masters who have received godhood! And a strong appeal is being issued to the entire continent: all spiritual masters who have received the legacy of the ancient gods, upon awakening, immediately come to Buli City!"
She took a step forward, and her voice pierced through the entire city, carrying with it unquestionable majesty and determination to protect:
"Alliance, highest alert! Protect the inheritance, no loss is allowed!"
The moment the words fell, the Continent of Gods was like a sleeping giant beast that was completely awakened.
Countless powerful auras rose into the sky from various forces, from various cities, and from the watchtowers on the city walls.
Various spiritual lights lit up, and powerful protective formations were opened layer by layer, tightly protecting the areas covered by the divine light.
The figures of the strong men shot everywhere like streams of light, with solemn expressions and ready for battle.
In the night sky, the divine light pillars that have not yet completely dissipated are like lighthouses piercing the darkness, attracting forces from all sides.
The painful roars and struggles of the inheritors are the labor pains before breaking out of the cocoon, and the clarion call for the revival of ancient power in the new body.
The real storm came early, in the quiet midnight, in the most unexpected way.
This time, it was no longer the silent infiltration of demonic energy, but the final gift from the ancient gods.
Luo Li looked at the divine light in the direction where Lan Xiaoxiao and the others were in retreat, which had not yet dissipated, and her eyes were dim and uncertain.
Why, at this time, did this change happen?
Is it because of the resurrection of the Ice God?
There is no time to think about anything else now. The divine light will soon dissipate. There are dozens of divine lights scattered on the continent. We must act as soon as possible.
After accepting the inheritance, they still need time to refine the divine nature. Time is running out, so they must stay in the city to get the best supply of elixirs.
Seven days later, before the morning mist in Buli City had dissipated, a clear sword sound was heard from the Trial Cliff on the back mountain of the Alliance Academy.
The sound of the sword was not like the collision of ordinary iron, but more like the pouring of galaxies from the sky, with a sharp force that could break through everything, causing the morning dew on the cliff to fall.
When Luo Li arrived, she saw Wen Xingyan sitting cross-legged on the bluestone on the top of the cliff, with a faint silver-white sword light lingering around him.
The jade crown that originally bound his hair had shattered to the ground, his black hair was disheveled, and between his eyebrows was a light silver sword-shaped divine pattern.
In front of him, the long sword that had accompanied him for many years was floating in front of him.
"It's the Sword God's inheritance." Xuan Ye said beside Luo Li, "The Sword God's inheritance is based on purity and the ability to break through delusion. It's quite suitable for this kid."
Wen Xingyan slowly opened his eyes. The gentleness of the past was no longer in his eyes. Only the clarity and sharpness unique to sword cultivators remained.
He raised his hand and grasped the suspended sword, the sword trembling in his palm, as if he were meeting a close friend after a long separation.
Just now, countless sword moves flooded into my sea of consciousness, as well as the silhouette of a white-robed deity standing beneath the galaxy.
He tried to swing his sword, but there was no earth-shattering sound. Instead, a ten-thousand-pound rock on the cliff edge cracked silently, and the broken surface was as smooth as a mirror.
Luo Li felt relieved, "Congratulations."
Wen Xingyan turned around in surprise, and smiled the moment he saw Luo Li, "Long time no see, A-Li."
He walked over and said, "I recently came to the Alliance Academy for a retreat, but I didn't expect..."
Luo Li knew it without him saying anything. She raised her hand and said, "I know. How do you feel now?"
Wen Xingyan felt the endless power surging in his body, which was an unprecedented clarity and sharpness, as if his entire body had turned into a divine sword drawn from its sheath.
He clenched his fists, and a subtle sword energy lingered at his fingertips.
"It feels..." He chose his words carefully, a hint of curiosity and solemnity in his eyes. "It's very strange, and very powerful. It's as if many powerful swords have appeared in my sea of consciousness, each sword containing different laws. The will of that ancient god is very pure, pursuing the ultimate sharpness."
He looked at Luo Li, his gaze pausing on her slightly tired but still bright eyes.
Then he looked towards the direction where Lan Xiaoxiao and the others were in seclusion deep in the City Lord's Mansion, frowning slightly: "Ali, I'm not the only one here, right? Where are the others..."
Luo Li nodded and said, "There are many. The heirs of the divine power outside the city should come to the city soon. I will help you..."
"Godhood?" The two words passed through Wen Xingyan's mouth for a moment before he asked in confusion, "What is that?"
Luo Li looked at Xuan Ye, "Explain."
Xuan Ye withdrew his gaze, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "What gods are you talking about now? In fact, they are just titles. They are all just spiritual masters, but they are exceptionally powerful. And the godhood is actually the soul skills and small amounts of power they created before their death, which they sealed away, perhaps for the benefit of future generations?"
Luo Li's lips twitched, "Your explanation is too simple."
"What else?" Xuan Ye's eyes showed despair.
He looked at Wen Xingyan, "If you knew that I knew this Sword God, and that this old fellow's name was Li Tiezhu, you would understand how I feel when I look at you now."
Who understands? All my old rivals are dead, but I am still alive. These old guys have now become powerful and mysterious beings in the eyes of others. He is a little uncomfortable with the environment.
Wen Xingyan's expression froze for a moment, his gaze lingered on Xuan Ye's face which was filled with the expression "the past is too painful to look back on", and then slowly moved towards Luo Li, as if trying to verify the authenticity of this "Li Tiezhu".
Luo Li held her forehead helplessly, obviously choked by Xuan Ye's overly down-to-earth revelations.
She coughed lightly, deciding to ignore this detail that undermined the majesty of the godhead and get straight to the point: "The name isn't important; what's important is the power."
"Although Xuan Ye's words were a bit blunt, their essence is correct. The Godhead is the final legacy left by those powerful predecessors, containing the most powerful soul skills and strength they have gained throughout their lives. Now, they have chosen you."
Her eyes swept over the sword-shaped divine pattern on Wen Xingyan's forehead, as well as the sharp aura around him that had not yet been completely subdued. She said sternly, "Ayan, you have obtained the Sword God's divine nature. This power is far beyond the ordinary inheritance, but it also means a huge responsibility. The loosening of the Demon God's seal and the premature awakening of the divine nature in search of a successor are all signs. We need all the power that has been inherited to grow as quickly as possible."
Wen Xingyan nodded solemnly, "I understand."
Luo Li nodded, without saying anything more, and only said: "After all the inheritors of the divine nature come to Buli City, I will teach you how to refine the divine nature."
"good."
Luo Li didn't stay any longer and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Another seven days later, many people came to Buli City, including elders from various major forces.
Lan Xiaoxiao and the others have also come out.
Luo Li sat in the main seat of the meeting hall and looked down. "How many spiritual masters who have received the inheritance are here and stay in the city now?"
The elder in charge of statistics immediately bowed and reported, "Alliance Master, since the arrival of the divine light, within the past fourteen days, thirty-seven spiritual masters who have clearly received the divine inheritance have arrived in Buli City. These include six who awakened within the Alliance Academy and three who were selected within Buli City. The remaining twenty-eight have all traveled day and night from all over the continent to arrive."
"Thirty-seven..." Luo Li tapped lightly on the cold armrest with her fingertips. This number was slightly less than she expected, but it was still considerable.
She glanced across the hall and saw many unfamiliar faces besides Wen Xingyan, Lan Xiaoxiao and others.
Most of them were young, with a trace of fatigue on their faces from the impact of experiencing godhood, but deep in their eyes burned excitement and a desire for power, as well as a hint of confusion in the face of the unknown.
