That time, he happened to witness a battle that could only be described as miraculous!
The clash between the Light Swordsman, Luo En, and the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, symbolized a war between light and darkness. It was a breathtaking confrontation that allowed him to experience the sheer power of magical combat for the first time, giving him a clear understanding of the strength of the Hell Swordsman profession.
However, what Yi Tianchen truly wanted to discuss was not this!
It was the death of Luo En. Due to a series of coincidences, the powerful Light Swordsman, Luo En, fell at Yi Tianchen's hands. From that moment on, all traces of Luo En were completely erased from the history of Zero Era.
But what about now?
Yi Tianchen felt lost. If he struck with this sword, Azure Abyss would die. According to the rules set by the System, wouldn’t Azure Abyss also completely disappear?
“No!”
Yi Tianchen retracted his sword, standing still like a statue. He could be merciless to his enemies, but Azure Abyss was not his enemy; rather, he was someone who had provided him with much assistance!
Well, to be precise, he was an NPC!
When they first met, Azure Abyss gifted Yi Tianchen a Skill Book titled Heavy Sword Without Edge. Later, he also gave him a special item called Azure Dark Mark and revealed the most subversive historical truths related to the System's background story.
Although he was just an NPC, Yi Tianchen chose to hold back!
“What if this were on the battlefield? Do you know what you would face next?” Azure Abyss stood firm and said coldly.
“I know!”
Yi Tianchen forced a bitter smile. This NPC had become more than just an emotionless character to him; he felt like a real person. Although classified as an Undead NPC, to Yi Tianchen, he was simply human.
“But this isn’t a battlefield after all, is it?” Yi Tianchen replied solemnly.
“Perhaps not!”
Azure Abyss sheathed his sword and turned away. In an instant, he soared toward the stone tower enveloped in a black aura and stated earnestly, “No matter how powerful a person is, if their heart is filled only with coldness, they are merely a weapon for killing!”
“…”
Yi Tianchen was momentarily stunned when he heard the Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, say with a smile, "Your choice is correct! Congratulations on passing my final trial!"
"What?"
For a moment, Yi Tianchen felt a mix of emotions, almost wanting to laugh and cry at the same time. In that instant, he had already prepared himself mentally for the possibility of failing the trial. He never expected that the true purpose of this final trial would revolve around a choice related to his character.
But the next moment, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but gasp in shock!
What would have happened if he hadn't held back that sword strike earlier and had instead struck without hesitation?
As he was lost in this overwhelming shock, a notification chimed in his ear—
"Ding!"
System Notification: Congratulations on completing the final trial of Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss. You have earned the title of Ultimate Hell Swordsman and activated the Soul Mark effect!
...
"Wow—"
A beam of azure light cascaded down. Yi Tianchen understood that this was not a symbol of leveling up. At that moment, it felt as if something invisible and intangible had suddenly invaded his heart. He pondered what it could be but felt nothing at all.
"Master, what is the Soul Mark?" Yi Tianchen asked in confusion.
The Hell Swordsman, Azure Abyss, replied seriously, "The Hell Swordsman originates from the Land of Souls! And the Land of Souls is a dark, otherworldly abyss where souls are consumed and transformed. No living being with a soul can exist in the Land of Souls!"
"Uh!"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback; this place sounded extremely perilous! No wonder it was known as one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands. However, he still seemed to lack understanding regarding the Soul Mark.
"Now that you possess the Soul Mark, it means you have received the legacy of the Hell Swordsman. You can freely enter and exit the Land of Souls without being affected by its soul-consuming power. This symbolizes your transformation into a true Hell Swordsman!" Azure Abyss explained.
"I see!"
Yi Tianchen suddenly realized something, then paused in shock, exclaiming, "So, it seems that the only ones who can go to the Land of Souls are from the Hell Swordsman lineage? Haha..."
As a player, was he really the only one?
While he was lost in thought, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss smiled calmly and said, "Besides the Hell Swordsman, there is one more person who can go!"
"Who is it?"
"The Soul Mage!"
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss explained, "Although the Soul Mage does not originate from the Land of Souls, they possess an innate and incredibly powerful soul force—so strong that even the soul-dissolving power that has lingered in the Land of Souls for centuries cannot harm them!"
The Soul Mage?
Yi Tianchen smiled bitterly; he never expected to be connected to the Supreme Treasure in this way!
"However..."
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss changed his tone and continued, "The Soul Mage is not from the Land of Souls, so they cannot stay there for too long. Moreover, the Land of Souls is one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands, and very few people in the world know its entrance."
"Teacher, you must know where it is, right?" Yi Tianchen asked with a grin.
"Of course!"
Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss replied fiercely with just two words before adding with a laugh, "But the Land of Souls is not a good place; it's better if you ask less about it!"
"Uh..."
Yi Tianchen said bitterly, "But teacher, didn't you say that the Hell Swordsman comes from the Land of Souls? And every Hell Swordsman returns there to enhance their strength. You should at least tell me where the entrance to the Land of Souls is!"
"This answer can only be found by you yourself!" Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss suddenly turned away.
"Teacher..."
Yi Tianchen, in a rush, called out, tears streaming down his face, "Master, you haven't taught me any new skills yet!"
The Hell Swordsman paused, not turning around, his voice cold as he replied, "I have nothing left to teach you. The path ahead can only be walked by yourself."
"Is that really the case?"
Yi Tianchen was dumbfounded. How could there be no skills to learn at level 100? He had imagined all sorts of powerful and impressive magical combat techniques, but at the very least, he expected to be taught a few ordinary practical skills! This felt like a serious letdown.
Ten minutes later...
Yi Tianchen finally left the Black Forest feeling frustrated. It was as if the level 100 advancement didn't exist for him; he had stumbled through it in a daze but ended up with nothing. That Soul Mark clearly had no place to be used.
That was something that only worked in the Land of Souls!
Unfortunately, as one of the Three Great Forbidden Lands, the entrance to the Land of Souls was evidently not easy to find. Just like when he had put in considerable effort to locate the entrance to the Boundless Land, it had taken a bit of luck and determination before he finally succeeded.
