Chapter 38: ck Crescent Moon


    The Palm of a Tiny Hand


    This is a space that couldn’t be considered very big. The same walls, but what’s different from the all the other areas is that in the air floated little orbs emitting a light green glow. Ling Chen tried grabbing one with his hand only to discover that these floating orbs don’t have a physical body, but are rather more like glowing air, it’s also these floating orbs that made the light in this ce especially bright.


    There are no signs of life here, there even doesn’t seem to be any signs of any being having ever lived here. At first nce, this ce appears to be a big hall, the hall is very spacious, only a small stone counter in the middle of the grounds. The stone counter is not even half a meter tall, when Ling Chen looked at the counter, a beam of light seemed to have reflected over for a moment.


    This ce is?


    No fabulous treasure, no life forms, even not able to find any special existence, the only thing that can be seen is a spacious hall and the stone counter in the middle of the hall, this waspletely different from what Ling Chen expected.


    A ce guarded by an ancient mythical beast, how can it just have these things!


    Staying silent for a bit, he walked forward, heading for the stone counter in the center.


    ck...


    His feet seemingly stepping on something, Ling Chen stopped his footsteps. Looking downwards, the ground underneath is uneven, where he stepped faintly appeared the shape of a sword hilt.


    This is...


    Ling Chen immediately crouched down, pushing aside the surrounding rocks. Immediately, aplete sword hilt appeared before his eyes. The sword hilt disys a ck colour, on top it is faintly ingrained with extremelyplex, blood coloured lines. The entire sword hilt is around 30 centimeters long, its thickness is far greater than a regr sword hilt, its appearance is pretty normal though. When Ling Chen stepped on it arge part of it was slumped in the ground which is why Ling Chen didn’t notice it when he scanned the ce earlier.


    Could there be a sword hidden here?


    Ling Chen’s heartbeat immediately started to quicken... A sword that can be hidden here, even without thinking it’s easy to know that this sword in not an ordinary sword. He extended his arm grabbing the hilt, casually lifting it... And then, his face froze.


    Under his pull the sword actually didn’t move at all, as if it was embedded in the ground.


    Ling Chen slightly furrowed his brows. He adjusted his position, two hands grabbing the sword hilt, and then suddenly biting his teeth, using all of his strength pull upwards.


    “Heeeee...”


    Under the effort of his full strength, the ck sword hilt finally lifted from the ground, but it only stayed in the air for a short two seconds. After only lifting it up for two seconds Ling Chen was no longer able to maintain his grip, the sword hilt once again falling onto the ground with a “Bam”, and then causing the rigid ground to deeply sink down.


    That feeling was not like lifting a small sword hilt, but instead like pulling a thousand tonne boulder.


    “So heavy... how can anybody use such a heavy sword.” Ling Chen wiped the sweat on his forehead. The instant the sword hilt lifted off the ground, he saw very clearly that this is not a sword, but just a sword hilt, without any de. Its appearance may be bigger than a regr sword hilt, but it is still only 30 or so centimeters long, a couple centimeters thick, how can an item of this volume be heavy to such a degree, exactly what is it made of?


    In addition, why is there just a sword hilt here. Since there’s a sword hilt, there should be a sword de... Could it be that this is a sword where the de was broken off?


    Ling Chen once again squatted down,posing himself and looking towards its stats.


    [Shura Emperor Sword’s Broken Piece 1]: 10 000 years ago, the world famous “Red Mystical Sword King” because of obsession descended into the way of the Shura, bing the incarnation of a Shura, the Red Mystical Sword that he wielded after being bathed in the blood of countless life forms changed into the [Shura Emperor Sword]. After bing a Shura, Red Mystical Sword King’s nature disappeared, from then on his only reason for living was to ughter, massacring the lives of countless beings, causing the world to fall into chaos. In the end bringing onto himself the punishment of the heavens, befalling thebined judgement of Saint Destroyer beast Void Dragon God and the three goddesses Fate, Order, Liberty, in the end dying under the hands of the 3 goddesses. The 3 goddesses wished topletely destroy the [Shura Emperor Sword] but were unable to, they thus broke it into 5 pieces, scattering them into 5 different directions, making them unable toe back together for eternity.


    Ling Chen: “...”


    Shura... Emperor... Sword...


    This sword hilt is one of the pieces of the Shura Emperor Sword that the 3 goddesses broke?


    Who Red Mystical Sword King is, he didn’t know. The concept of a Shura, he also only had a vague idea, only knowing that Shura’s represent arrogance, heartlessness, and bloodlust. But, the Red Mystical Sword King that changed into a Shura actually needed a Saint Destroyer beast and the 3 goddesses to act out judgement together...


    What kind of power is that!!


    Red Mystical Sword King must have already be a long ago legend... or maybe, 10000 years of time has already passed, maybe on Forgotten continent there doesn’t even exist a person that remembers his name. But... Ling Chen ced his hand on the sword hilt... the sword used by Red Mystical Sword King, is also definitely undoubtedly powerful to an unimaginable degree!


    Shura Emperor Sword, is very likely a heavenly item, maybe even a godly item... just its name is revealing a dominating pressure and overpowering sense.


    “He!!”


    Both hands exerting force, finally lifting it up again, and then quickly putting it his bag when it waspletely in his hands.


    This is one of the 5 broken pieces of the Shura Emperor Sword... If, by chance there is a day where I can collect all five pieces... will there be a chance to reforge the Shura Emperor Sword?


    Strength that requires a Saint Destroyer beast and the 3 goddesses to face... This Shura Emperor Sword produced an irresistible attraction to Ling Chen. Even if he knows that this Shura Emperor Sword isn’t a good sword, but instead a sword of absolute evil that is drenched in blood and sin.


    Sessfully putting the Shura Emperor Sword broken piece in his bag, Ling Chen continued walking forward. Before he clearly saw that there seemed to be something at the center of the stone counter. Its reflecting light also shed at his eyes.


    The sound of footsteps was particrly clear in this overly quiet space, Ling Chen walked in front of the stone counter and stopped his footsteps. This is a smooth stone counter, it should have existed here for a very long time, but strangely the stone counter doesn’t have a speck of dust on it and is as bright as a mirror. Only in the center is ced a standing ck ring.


    This ring is...


    Ling Chen did not rashly use his hands to touch it, instead bending his waist, examining it from a closer distance, only then discovering that this is not a standard ring. Tts size is about double of the metal bracelet he is wearing, one side is about 1 centimeter thick, and then from the thickest part it starts to be thinner on both sides, when it spreads to the opposite side of the thickest part, it’s already be a thin, almost unseeable line. At first nce, it seems as though an opening has appeared.


    Looking at it from the cross section, it’s like a crescent moon at the beginning of the new moon cycle. A ck new moon.


    Ling Chen’s looked at it from a different angle, looking at it from the side... This ring has a width of almost 2 centimeters, at the thickest position, there are three holes of the same size closely together, at the two sides, there are also a series of small holes evenly spreading across... Ling Chen counted the holes, from the thickest to thinnest ce, the two sides are each distributed 6 holes, along with the 3 at the thickest area... There are a total of 15 holes.


    Holes?


    This made Ling Chen unable to help but think of Luna Chains. Luna Chains also have holes spread out on them, and this ck crescent moon shaped ring can also be worn as a bracelet. Although Ling Chen was just randomly thinking about it. Of course he wouldn’t think that this is a Luna Chain. The Vige Chief said that the strongest Luna Chain that appeared on Forgotten continent had seven slots, which also means that seven is already the limit... No matter what the 15 holes of this ck crescent moon can’t have anything to do with Luna Chains.


    But something that can be ced here is definitely not an ordinary item.


    What exactly is this...


    Focusing his eyes, Ling Chen lowered his head looking towards its stats:


    ???:????


    The information that came from his head made Ling Chen a bit dazed. This ck new moon is clearly in front of his eyes, yet he cannot see any attributes.


    What’s going on?


    Could it be that it has an attribute to hide its information, only its owner can check it out?


    At once, Ling Chen extended his hand, grabbing towards the ck crescent moon shaped ring, his fingers, under a slow movement touched the side of the ring.


    BUZZ~~~~


    Right at the instant when Ling Chen touched the crescent moon ring, a mass of incredibly dark light suddenly released from the crescent moon ring, like night had suddenly descended, instantly covering all of the light in this space. Ling Chen’s pupils immediately erged, the world abruptly changed, the world of light before turning intoplete darkness in an instant. This is a darkness without any impurity, without any light, a terrifying darkness. Since he was just a child he had experienced so much darkness, countless days ofplete darkness, but he never knew, that the colour ck could actually be so deep, so thoroughly ck.


    What’s going on??


    What’s happening!?


    The ck crescent moon that his fingers touched disappeared, following the senses of his right hand, making him feel like it floated up on its own, and then quickly passing through his hand, tightly binding onto his right hand wrist...


    “Ding... Your Luna Chain ‘Metal Bracelet’ has beenpletely destroyed by an unknown force,pletely disappeared.”


    “Ding. Your energy crystal ‘Beginner Critical Crystal’ has been destroyedpletely destroyed by an unknown force,pletely disappeared.”


    “Ding. Your energy crystal ‘Beginner Strength Crystal’ has been destroyedpletely destroyed by an unknown force,pletely disappeared.”


    Ling Chen: “!!!!”


    What’s going on? Who can tell me what is happening?


    Ling Chen’s left hand rapidly grabbed toward his right wrist, sure enough the metal bracelet that was socketed with 2 energy crystals had disappeared. On his right wrist, what he is currently wearing is another ring shaped item... Its shape, is clearly that crescent moon shaped ck ring!


    “Ah!!!!!!”


    At the same time, a feeling of pain as if being cut by a thousand des came from the depths of his consciousness, making his body abruptly freeze, his mouth letting out a scream of incredible pain...
