Eternal Reverence

“I shall pass.” The Commonize Sword Saint Lord rejected the Bitter Sea Sword Lord.

He once obtained a huge piece of sword bone and it was a cranium bone, therefore, he didn’t need any more sword bones. After contacting with the Sword Pool’s origin truth sword intent, he had plenty of inspirations and was planning to enter seclusion.

The Bitter Sea Sword Lord didn’t force things. It was enough to have Li Fuchen around. It was naturally the best if the Commonize Sword Saint Lord had also agreed, but it didn’t really matter too.

The trip to the insect race battlefield wasn’t a small matter. Everyone had to research the information of the insect race to prevent any careless mistakes, resulting in them perishing in the insect race battlefield.

It was fortunate that the Bitter Sea Sword Lord had plenty of information on the insect race. As a city lord-level heaven lord, the Bitter Sea Sword Lord knew plenty of secrets.

“This is the sword bone?”

Three days before departing for the insect race battlefield, the Bitter Sea Sword Lord gave Li Fuchen three pieces of sword bones in advance first.

In the cultivation room, Li Fuchen was holding a piece of translucent and shining bone that was emitting pure sword qi.

From this sword bone, Li Fuchen could see sword dao, human body mysteries, and immortality.

“Sword bones are bones left behind by sword dao heaven lords who cultivated their sword dao cultivation technique to top rate apex state. I might be able to find some inspiration from them.”

It was too difficult to achieve a breakthrough in sword dao cultivation techniques. A higher sword dao proficiency didn’t mean an easier breakthrough in sword dao cultivation techniques. One must have a great understanding of the human body to flawlessly combine the human body and sword dao.

If a heaven lord could upgrade the cultivation technique to a top rate apex state, they would be able to live for 10 million years or even dozens of millions of years. If the cultivation technique could reach supreme rate, it would be the same to have the lifespan of heavens, achieving immortality.

Martial arts might also be able to increase the lifespan of a heaven lord, but it was still incomparable with cultivation techniques.

Looking inside with his spiritual awareness, Li Fuchen started to observe the internal structure of the sword bone.

“Such an amazing sword dao cultivation technique.”

Li Fuchen was very certain that the structure of a sword bone was directly related to the sword dao cultivation technique. The owner of the sword bone had obviously combined his body and the sword dao cultivation technique to a deep level.

“Using sword dao cultivation technique to reform the human body. No… To be accurate, it is to use the sword dao cultivation technique to upgrade the human body.”

“Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed with radiance.”

The sword bone was definitely useful to him.

It was mainly due to his overwhelming perception. It was fine when he didn’t have any clues, but once there was a clue, he would be able to make rapid progress.

It was just like the time when he connected with the first streak of sword dao source power, it was unstoppable afterwards.

Within the three days, Li Fuchen had comprehended 80% of this piece of sword bone. He had obtained some fragmented inspiration.

Li Fuchen believed if the inspiration was accumulated, he would sooner or later be able to upgrade the Primary Extreme Sword Technique to the top rate apex state.

Of course, the prerequisite was to obtain the seven other pieces of sword bones.

On the fourth morning, the Bitter Sea Sword Lord, Li Fuchen, and the others had vanished from the teleportation plaza.

…

The universe had plenty of sealed up insect race battlefields. The Tiger Imperial Star Domain had one sealed up insect race battlefield.

At an abandoned star region, a glowing sword mark appeared out of nowhere.

The Bitter Sea Sword Lord and the others walked out from the sword mark.

“Such incredible speed.”

Li Fuchen and the others were extremely envious. Any saint could rip through the spatial zone, but only a few could rip out a space-time passage. It was probable that only heaven lords could do it.

“This is the insect race battlefield?” Five pairs of eyes landed on the abandoned star region.

This was an abandoned star region and it was emitting the aura of destruction. It was obvious that a terrifying war had happened here before.

The Bitter Sea Sword Lord said, “This isn’t the actual insect race battlefield. In front is a seal barrier. After entering the seal barrier, it is the real insect race battlefield.”

“Esteemed Sword Lord, let’s make things clear. We will only stay inside for 10 years at most. We will exit after reaching the 10th year. Also, if there is any lethal danger, we will view our own safety with priority.” The three-eyed man said.

“Alright.” The Bitter Sea Sword Lord nodded.

It was obviously impossible to ask anyone to risk their lives for one or two pieces of sword bones.

“The Sword Lord can be at ease. As long as I can find your daughter, Mia, I am confident I can bring her out.” Li Fuchen said.

“Then I shall trouble you.”

The Bitter Sea Sword Lord had great hopes. In his opinion, Li Fuchen’s strength was also the same as an ungraded heaven lord.

“Let’s enter together!” The iron-armored man was at the front while Li Fuchen and the others followed behind closely.

Without sound or presence, there were ripples in the void as the five vanished.

“I hope things go smoothly.” The Bitter Sea Sword Lord said silently.

…

In the dark chaotic spatial zone, the five of them appeared.

“As expected, the dark chaotic spatial zone that I entered previously should also be an insect race battlefield.” Li Fuchen was enlightened. This spatial zone gave him the exact feeling of the spatial zone back then.

“It is truly stifling.” The bald man frowned. He realized that his spiritual awareness wasn’t really useful in this place. He could only have a rough sense of the environment in the surroundings.

“It is fortunate there is the presence token, otherwise, it is nearly impossible to find Saint Lordess Mia.” The multicolor-dressed lady said.

The presence token contained the qi presence of the Bitter Sea Sword Lord’s daughter. As long as Saint Lordess Mia was within 100 billion miles, there would be a signal.

While flying above the insect race battlefield, the five would discover weapon shards and insect parts from time to time. The insect parts were huge, the smallest would be as big as a mountain, while the biggest would be the size of a small star. Most of the insect parts no longer had any vitality, but still emitted a fierce and brutal aura.

“The insect race is truly ferocious. They can even destroy supreme rate weapons.” The iron-armored man was stunned as he reached out to grab a piece of supreme rate weapon shard.

Even a low-grade supreme rate weapon would need a city lord-level heaven lord to destroy it.

However, everyone knew that the weapons might not be destroyed by city lord-level insects. The insect race could secrete a kind of destruction acid and with the acid, even weaker insect heaven lords could destroy low-grade supreme rate weapons. As for city lord-level insects, they might even be able to destroy mid-grade supreme rate weapons.

“I wonder how tough the war was against the insect race previously.” Everyone was lamenting.

If the insect race could even destroy supreme rate weapons, they would probably be able to kill heaven lords with ease. After all, a heaven lord’s body wasn’t as tough as a supreme rate weapon.

Weapons shards could be seen everywhere on the battlefield, but there were also supreme rate weapon shards too.

The supreme rate weapon shards might have lost their spirituality and all essence, but the supreme rate pattern inside was still worth something. Everyone didn’t mind and simply collected them.

“Eh? It is an insect hive shard.” The one speaking was the bald man. As a saint lord of the feeler lamp race, his spiritual awareness was very sensitive.

With a flash of sword light, the bald man flew towards a pile of insect parts.

In the core of the insect pars, there was a piece of material that looked like a shard of a hive and it was a few thousand miles in size.

“Insect hive shard?” Everyone glanced over with various expressions.

Insect hives were considered one of the most precious treasures in the universe. It could be used to breed insects.

In the records, insect hives had three classes, initial extinct class, primary extinct class, and supreme class.

The initial extinct class hives could breed saint lord-level insects. Primary extinct class hives could produce heaven lord-level insects. As for supreme class hives, they could produce half god-level insects.

A complete initial extinct class hive would be worth around 10 billion peak-grade spirit stones. Primary extinct class hives didn’t have a price marker and it was hard to purchase it with peak-grade spirit stones. There wasn’t a need to talk about the legendary supreme class hives. 

Therefore, it didn’t matter what class this hive shard was, the bald man had made a fortune. It was just a matter of small or big fortune.

“It should be an initial extinct class hive.”

Li Fuchen had encountered an initial extinct class hive before, therefore, he was very clear about the aura intensity of one.

“As expected, it is just an initial extinct class hive shard.” When the bald man came near the hive shard and observed carefully, he settled with this verdict.

To be honest, he was also disappointed. This piece of initial extinct class hive shard was worth only 10 million peak-grade spirit stones at most and could barely be considered a small fortune.

With a wave of the hand, the bald man kept the insect hive shard.

“Congratulations.” The three-eyed man smiled and said.

The bald man replied, “There is nothing to congratulate me for. It is just a piece of the initial extinct class hive shard. If it is a primary extinct class hive shard, then all of you can consider congratulating me.”

A piece of primary extinct class hive shard would tempt even heaven lords.

Of course, if the insect race battlefield had any primary extinct class hive shards, they would have been taken by the heaven lords. As soon as the war against the insect race was over, the heaven lords would definitely sweep through the battlefield first before sealing it.

The insect race battlefield was immensely huge. The five didn’t have any specific direction as they traveled using their intuition.

Pfff!

There was a flash of sword light as a giant insect had been cleaved into two pieces before scattering like ashes.

“I didn’t expect there to be insects in the insect race battlefield.”

Since the five of them entered the insect race battlefield, they had already encountered nine insects. The strongest insect was only a mid-tier saint lord-level, but it was enough to make the five alert. After all, no one knew if there were any heaven lord-level insects.

As the days passed by, the five were already here for half a year.

On this day, the presence tokens shivered at almost the same time.

“Is it Saint Lordess Mia?” The multicolor-dressed lady’s eyes lit up.

…

100 billion miles away, on a dilapidated star, there was a glowing palace. Outside the palace, there were insects that formed a wave. Inside the glowing palace, there were four individuals, two males and two females.

“What should we do? The palace is not going to hold on for long.” The one speaking was an anxious lady wearing a silver metallic dress.

“Multiflora Rose, there is no need to be anxious. I believe my father has already sent people here. Let’s wait a while more.” Another long-haired lady in dark blue armor said calmly.

“Mia is right. The Bitter Sea Sword Lord will definitely send people here.” Standing beside Mia was an extremely handsome man.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the palace shook as though there was an earthquake.

“The insects are starting to attack again.”

Another handsome man waved his hand and a screen appeared. Inside the screen, the wave-like insects are smashing on the barrier of the palace with intimidating power.
