In the sky, a beautiful and majestic jade boat was traveling through the clouds.
The angel race had already begun their journey to the mountain where the hunt would be held.
There were three factions on the jade boat.
The first faction consisted of the eight members of the angel race who were participating in the hunt.
Yu Shengxuan was among them. As a senior, she provided support behind the scenes.
The angel race was very confident.
Yu Shengyun herself was already a first-grade Dao realm cultivator, and would be able to move around freely during the hunt without fearing others.
Given that, the angel race would definitely be able to obtain many, many rewards from the beacons she would obtain this time. They might even be able to regain a rather good ranking within this 100,000-mile region! If they could surpass the Dragon race, it would be an even greater surprise!
…
The second faction consisted of the other members of the myriad races that had attached themselves to the angel race to participate in the hunt. There were 22 of them in total.
The most powerful one among them was a sixth-grade Dao realm cultivator.
Compared to the calm and confident angels, they were more worried about the situation that was about to unfold. Although they had sworn that there would be no infighting between them, how many beacons would the 22 of them have to find to ensure that each of them had at least two beacons and survived?
On the surface, they seemed to be united, but in reality, it would be every man for himself. Their numbers meant nothing compared to the unity of the angel race team.
They would definitely fall apart once they started fighting over beacons.
The third faction was Yuchi alone.
He was like a young man who had never seen the world. He stood at the edge of the jade boat and examined the power of the technique flowing through it. He was quite happy.
They passed by Hanjiang along the way.
From up above, the cold river almost seemed like a living creature.
Like a giant python on the ground, it slithered on and on endlessly.
It was really beautiful.
…
“Hmph!”
“Yuchi, you’re still putting on an act over there!”
“When you see the grand scene of the other races gathering together, you’ll know that this hunt is no child’s play!”
Yu Shengyun stood in the distance and muttered.
She glanced at Yuchi. Then, under her master’s guidance, they began to discuss their plans. Even if they had a strong foundation, they could not let their guard down.
Yu Shengyun knew what to do.
She had to bring glory to the angel race.
…
The artifact spirit race was also participating in the hunt this time!
This was because the opportunity to participate in the hunt was too rare!
After all, the hunt only took place once every 1,000 years.
Compared to the Black Heaven sect’s martial arts exhibition and the competition to become sect master, the hunt was on a whole other level.
At this moment, a beautiful and graceful woman from the artifact spirit race with a frosty expression had arrived at the dragon race’s territory.
She did not have a name, only a code name.
It was a code name with an extremely high status in the artifact spirit race, which was ‘Sword Heart’.
She was the most powerful person among the artifact spirit race, having reached the first-grade of the Dao realm.
She had actually reached the same level as Yu Shengyun of the angel race.
It was a pity that the artifact spirit race was too weak so, like the other smaller races, she had to attach herself to the dragon race in order to participate.
Did this woman called Sword Heart really have a better future and more potential than Yu Shengyun?
Not necessarily…
Yu Shengyun’s talent was her own, and she did not need to sacrifice anything other than effort to get to where she was.
Sword Heart’s talent was achieved by sacrificing her lifespan. Sword Heart could already see the blood clots on her neck.
If there were no accidents, she could live for 30 years at most.
She was already 26 years old.
There were only four years left.
In two years, when she reached 28 years old, her physical strength would decline rapidly.
Yu Shengyun, on the other hand, would face no such problems, and would be even stronger than she was right now.
When Sword Heart’s body was completely shattered, and her soul merged into the weapon, she would become a complete artifact spirit.
Sword Heart would be trapped in the weapon, just like the other artifact spirits, trapped in there for life.
She would not be able to extricate herself in the past, and would eventually end up in a muddle-headed state. She would not be able to escape her tragic end and, one day, her soul would…
Disappear!
Compared to the situation of the human race, the artifact spirit race could be said to be extremely tragic.
How many years had they survived like this?
No one knew.
Sword Heart’s life was as short as a firework, fleeting.
At this moment, Sword Heart, like Yuchi, was standing alone at the edge of the dragon race’s boat.
However, she was different from Yuchi.
She was not in the mood to admire the world below. Her eyes were fixed on the members of the dragon race, and the members of the other races present.
The dragon race was confident.
The other races were worried.
She silently checked the condition of her body. 70% of her soul had already fused with the weapon.
Within the artifact spirit race, her talent was considered unprecedented.
Despite 70% of her soul being fused into her weapon, she was already a first-grade Dao realm expert. There was still 30% to go as well.
However, she knew her own situation best.
Even if she fused the remaining 30% into the weapon, she would not be able to surpass the Dao realm and reach the Dao essence realm.
It was a pity that Sword Heart would not be able to break through.
She was only participating in the hunt to obtain two beacons and give the artifact spirit race more resources so that the next generation would be able to break through to the Dao essence realm. Perhaps the artifact spirit race would have a better future at that point.
As she thought about it, she tried her best to remain calm.
Sword Heart’s eyes were long and narrow, filled with determination and sorrow. She looked at the two dark green leaves in her hands.
She had obtained these two fallen leaves a few days ago.
It was a protective talisman given to her by the elders of the race. They said that these two leaves were obtained by chance when they were sweeping the tomb, which proved that their ancestors might have found a way to escape the constraints of their souls being bound to their weapons. Sword Heart treated these two leaves like a talisman, keeping them by her side at all times.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Ancestors of the artifact spirit race!”
“If only you could see, if only you could hear my words!”
“Please protect me. After all, I don’t have many years left and am about to die”
Beside her was an old man from the artifact spirit race. His eyes were filled with worry.
