Chapter 590 - 584: Becoming the Sword
The Sword Master left, leaving only a pale door leading to the "Secret Realm."
In the crowd, Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi exchanged a glance for a moment, without saying a word, but in their eyes burned a blazing fire called resolve.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, without even a few words exchanged, yet...
This was already enough!
The Sword Master has his own career and path, without much energy to spare for them.
And Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi do not think of themselves as giant infants needing a master to constantly guide them.
After the battle at Lotus City Demon Mountain, they both experienced a transformation of body and mind, with growth in strength being secondary.
It is the steadfast spirit and the indomitable belief that are the true marks of growth!
The two made no promises, but silently swore in their hearts.
Next time we meet...
We will definitely make the Sword Master see us in a new light!
In fact, both Wan Haihao and Zhu Hanyi knew very well that if the Sword Master stayed on Earth, it would not be beneficial.
After all, from what Ye Fengqing hinted, it seemed Cangming Star intended to move to the Solar System.
When that time comes, the time flow difference between Cangming Star and Earth will be negligible, and they will face more and greater challenges together.
For example...
The Divine Court!
So before that happens, the Sword Master staying on Cangming Star can continue to advance, becoming stronger, reaching higher realms.
"Those on the list can go in."
Ma Ran shifted his gaze, sweeping over the twenty-five lucky ones on the "Seven Vortex Swordsmanship Adventure List."
Among these people, some initially used their talent, effort, and perseverance to gain an edge and made the list, some ranked top by thinking creatively in the "Earth OL: Divine Court Invasion" Main God Game and earned this opportunity, and some were included as members of the "Red Lotus Agent" identity.
Some of them are residents from China, some from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Africa.
No matter how, these twenty-five people were all fixated eagerly on the door to the Secret Realm cleaved by the Sword Master.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Within that pale door, endless starlight flickered, accompanied by the sound of clashing metal.
The sound of sword cries was stirring and resonant, fierce yet determined, cruel yet romantic; just listening to it, one could vaguely feel as if thousands of swords were devouring each other within, vying to become the king of all swords.
The faces of the twenty-five on the list were varied, their reactions differing greatly.
Some were impatient, eager to rush into the pale door.
Some had flickering eyes, seemingly worried about the safety of this so-called "Secret Realm."
Others, after sizing up the pale door for a while, focused their gaze back on Ma Ran, as if wanting to hear his opinion.
However, Ma Ran ignored everyone’s reactions, sat on the chair, closing his eyes in a meditative state, his lips moving silently as if conversing with someone.
In reality...
This demeanor was partly to give the audience time to react, and on the other hand, to ponder over the current situation.
Though the script of the "Lord of the Red Lotus" had started to unfold, resulting in considerable feedback and a significant enhancement in power, even against a Middle Rank Divine, Ma Ran had confidence in victory, but...
When faced with the vast Divine Court, there was still some lack in hard strength.
It still needs to become stronger!
If I can grow strong enough to defeat the Divine Court...
Then, the ultimate goal of protecting Earth Civilization would be more than halfway achieved.
After all, judging by the manners and scale of the Divine Court, it certainly was an overlord-level civilization in the vast cosmos.
The Chuanke Civilization doesn’t even have the qualification to be mentioned in the same breath as the Divine Court!
Since the day of rebirth, Ma Ran’s goal has always been clear—protection!
To protect all that is worth protecting on Earth!
Whether it is people, animals, plants, or intangible culture and spiritual matters.
However, Ma Ran had been struggling and laboring to fend off various alien invasions, almost seeing no possibility of realizing his goal.
And now...
Ma Ran truly captured the existence of a possibility!
Because the Divine Court, as a crucial reference point, had appeared!
Just being able to defeat... or even just draw with the Divine Court means that Earth would have the power to protect itself!
Realizing this, Ma Ran could no longer suppress his inner excitement, prompting the Sword Master to make an early appearance as a guest star in the "Lord of the Red Lotus" script.
With just a brief appearance, the progress bar of the "play" ability’s feedback began to surge wildly!
The silver-colored Sword Master Medal was vaguely plated with a layer of dazzling golden luster.
According to this progress...
Once the twenty-five on the list complete their "adventure," the Sword Master Medal will likely derive new abilities, perhaps even with a high probability!
Ma Ran slowly opened his eyes, focusing on the pale door, and then scanned the list of lucky ones: "This Secret Realm is a temporary creation by the Sword Master, unstable, with remaining time limited to twenty-three hours and fifty-eight minutes."
"Don’t worry about safety."
"At the moment the Secret Realm collapses, or should you encounter a life crisis, I will pull you out immediately."
In the VIP seat, Gray blinked.
Inside this pale door, he sensed only the terrifying aura of destruction and deathly stillness.
Even if it were him, rashly charging in would likely lead to a dead-end situation.
However...
Since Ma Ran dares to guarantee this, he must have sufficient confidence, and that is unquestionable.
Upon this thought, Gray heaved a sigh, focusing his attention on the pale door.
Following Ma Ran’s assurance, the first to enter the Secret Realm was Wan Haihao, famed as the Sword Master’s Direct Disciple.
His trust in Ma Ran led Wan Haihao to step into the pale door without hesitation.
The moment his left foot crossed the threshold of the Secret Realm, a transformation...
Occurred!
Under the gaze of all, Wan Haihao’s body and his sword fused at a visible speed, becoming a brand new flying sword!
Some people couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
Flesh and metal, fused together!
"Everyone, do not worry!"
Wan Haihao’s voice came from the flying sword: "I feel better than ever now! It’s like taking a Rebirth Golden Core, shedding the mortal flesh!"
"However..."
"This state can’t be maintained for too long."
"For some reason, I know, once the Secret Realm collapses, I won’t be able to maintain this Unity of Man and Sword state."
With that, the flying sword that Wan Haihao had become swiftly drew a stream of light, like a silver dragon, flying back and forth several times within the door to the Secret Realm.
Accelerating! Abrupt halt! Drifting! Spinning!
The sword Qi was vast, the silver light dazzling!
Wan Haihao’s hearty laughter rang from the sword.
"The benefits of this state are immense!"
"Everyone, I’ll be going ahead!"
After speaking, the flying sword sped towards the depths of the Secret Realm, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
