Chapter 151 — Chapter 151 Unique Ability
5 min read ·
After slaying over 50,000 magical beasts with the Empyrean Overlord, Yuan received an unexpected notification.
«Congratulations! Your Soul Weapon Empyrean Overlord has absorbed enough lifeforce and leveled up!»
«Your Empyrean Overlord has unlocked a new unique ability!»
«Empyrean Overlord»
«Level: 1»
«Rank: Soul Weapon»
«Growth Rate: Very Slow»
«Requirement: ???»
«Unique Ability: Amplify the power of all sword techniques by 100% when wielding this sword»
"100 percent?! Does this mean all of my techniques will double in power?! That’s overpowered as heck!" Yuan exclaimed in a shocked voice, but he didn’t have the time to think about it too much as the magical beasts continued to approach him.

Once the magical beasts were close enough, Yuan activated Heavenly Domain, creating a golden circle around him that extended for a dozen meters, slowing and suppressing everything within the circle to a certain extent.
"Another Divine-rank technique?! And it’s even a restriction technique!" The Great One was dumbfounded once again after seeing Yuan use a second Divine-rank technique.
’I have looked at his bones, and he should be no older than 18 years old, yet he’s already learned two Divine-rank techniques and can use them with such proficiency?! This human’s comprehension ability is shockingly high!’ The Great One thought to itself, unaware that Yuan had also learned its Dragon’s Gaze from the Tablet of Comprehension.
Meanwhile, Yuan used the Flying Daggers technique with the Starry Abyss to slay the magical beasts that ignorantly entered the Heavenly Domain only to have their movements speed significantly decreased, even feeling as though they were suddenly carrying a large boulder behind their back.
Sha! Whoosh!
The magical beasts dropped like flies as the Starry Abyss flew around in a circle, instantly killing the magical beasts.
And because the Flying Daggers is only a Mortal-rank technique, it required very little spiritual energy to maintain, allowing Yuan to use it effortlessly and continuously.
’As expected of a Soul Weapon... it can rip apart magical beasts with ease despite using only a Mortal-rank technique, and by the looks of it, that Soul Weapon is still in its infancy period. I can only imagine how powerful it’ll become once it grows up alongside a monster like this human...’ The Great One said inwardly.
Whoosh!
Yuan swung the enormous sword in his grasp effortlessly at the magical beasts that the Starry Abyss could not reach in time, cutting down even magical beasts twice his size with a single swing.
"Blood Sword Strike!"
The Empyrean Overlord emitted a powerful aura that did not exist before.
BOOM!
«You have slain 23 magical beast»
«48,124 remaining»
However, despite the Heavenly Domain slowing down the monsters and Yuan killing the monsters at a rapid rate, there were simply too many magical beasts, and Yuan was surrounded by them a little later.
Though, it was not as though Yuan was in any danger, as the magical beasts were still restricted by the Heavenly Domain, so even if they wanted to attack Yuan, they would be too slow for him, who had a Divine-rank movement technique, allowing him to dodge the magical beasts despite being attacked by many of them at once.
When the Great One saw this, its eyes widened again, and it mumbled to itself, "That movement technique... Why does he know a movement technique meant for phoenixes? Does it have anything to do with the phoenix blood that’s in his body? This human is full of surprises and mysteries... I’m sure the real ’me’ in the upper heavens would love to meet someone like him."

Two hours of nonstop action later, Yuan shouted, "Great One! How do I pause this trial?! I need a break!"
"Just say ’pause trial’!" The Great One responded.
Yuan then shouted, "Pause trial!"
The moment Yuan spoke these two words, almost as though time itself had stopped, all of the magical beasts’ movements came to a sudden halt, looking like they’d frozen in time.
«23:59:59»
«23:59:58»
«23:59:57»
"Don’t forget, you only have 24 hours to rest." The Great One said to him afterward.
Yuan immediately sat down to cultivate and recover his exhausted spiritual energy.
Whoosh!
A few seconds after Yuan sat down and closed his eyes, the spiritual energy in the area could be seen rushing towards Yuan at a rapid speed, almost like he was a black hole sucking all of the spiritual energy around him.
"..."
The Great One was speechless after seeing this, and it mumbled, "A pure body that doesn’t contain any impurities... Did he also consume the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness? What is someone like him doing in the Lower Heavens? One would have trouble finding the things he’d somehow managed to obtain even in the upper heavens!"
After resting for a few hours until half of his spiritual energy returned, Yuan stood up and asked the Great One, "How do I resume the trial?"
"Just say ’resume trial’."
Yuan nodded and prepared himself mentally before saying the word.
«Trial will resume in 3 seconds»
«2»
«1»
The moment the trial resumed, almost as though time began flowing again, the magical beasts began moving and continued to attack Yuan.
After fighting the monsters again for a few hours, Yuan paused the trial again to rest, and he repeated this process until it was time for him to log off for dinner.
"Pause trial!" Yuan then stood up and said to the Great One, "I’ll be back after dinner."
When Yuan logged off and disappeared before its eyes, the Great One raised its eyebrows in a puzzled manner. However, it didn’t say anything and merely closed its eyes and patiently waited for Yuan to return.
Once he’d returned to the real world and Yu Rou began her routine, Yuan recalled his experience for the day to Yu Rou while she cleaned his body and fed him soup. He spoke about playing the zither at the Dragon Pavilion, climbing the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate, and needing to defeat 100,000 monsters to pass the final trial.
