At the moment the white-clad woman merged into the Meteor Sword, the body of the Meteor Sword violently shuddered.
Upon its body, ancient engravings began to shine, covering the entire Meteor Sword.
An extremely fierce and profound aura burst forth from within the Meteor Sword!
It was as if an ancient elder on the verge of death had suddenly burst forth with a second spring of youth!
It seemed that, as the white-clad woman had said, his Meteor Sword might truly be a peerless Divine Sword that had merely been dimmed by past damage, its power not even one percent of what it was at its peak.
Now, with the possession by this Sword Spirit of the white-clad woman, it could potentially return to its peak power!
Within the Ancient Sword Tomb, sword qi surged like a violent storm, pouring into that streak of Meteor Sword.
These were all fragments of the Sword Dao Rules!
These Sword Dao Rule Fragments were being absorbed into the Meteor Sword en masse, repairing its Sword Dao Rules at an alarming rate!
Feeling the increasingly stronger aura of the Meteor Sword, Lin Yi’s face showed a trace of joy.
At this rate, it might not be long before the Meteor Sword would fully recover into a peerless Divine Weapon!
As to what level of treasure sword the Meteor Sword would become upon returning to its peak, Lin Yi was now very much looking forward to it!
Unrivaled Sacred City.
Qi Tian, the Eighth Prince of the Undying Blood Clan, was imprisoned in the deepest part of the Sky Prison of the Holy City,
Guarded by a heavy contingent of soldiers from the Unrivaled Sacred City.
However, with the threat of the Undying Blood Clan’s army looming, the guards of the prison had been reduced by seventy percent, the vigilance far from the usual strictness.
It was at this moment that a figure appeared in the depths of the Heavenly Prison.
The guards in the depths of the Sky Prison immediately bowed upon seeing the figure, "Greetings to the Hai Xi Half-Saint."
The person before them was none other than the Hai Xi Half-Saint!
"With the Undying Blood Clan’s army pressing down, the City Lord has ordered me to bring out this spy of the Undying Blood Clan, Qi Tian, from the Sky Prison and take him to the front lines to be executed publicly as a show of strength," said the Hai Xi Half-Saint coldly.
However, the two elders guarding the Sky Prison did not immediately release him, instead asking, "Half-Saint Lord Hai Xi, do you have the City Lord’s token?"
Hearing this, a trace of displeasure appeared on Hai Xi Half-Saint’s face, "What, does my word no longer carry weight now?"
"Is it really necessary for me to summon the City Lord before I can take the man away?"
The two elders exchanged glances and eventually complied with Hai Xi Half-Saint’s order, lifting the prohibition on the prison gate.
However, the very moment the prohibition was lifted,
A strange smile appeared on Hai Xi Half-Saint’s face.
Before the two elders could react, Hai Xi Half-Saint suddenly made a move, his palms transforming into two sharp Blood Claws, which he thrust into the chests of the two elders.
With a "crack," he directly extracted their throbbing hearts.
The two elders’ corpses collapsed with disbelief still etched on their faces.
Hai Xi Half-Saint revealed a chilling expression as he raised his hand to his mouth, biting into the bloody hearts with big chews.
At this time, Qi Tian also walked out of his cell, his face showing a smile as he came face to face with Hai Xi Half-Saint.
He bowed to Hai Xi Half-Saint, saying, "I pay my respects to Ninth Uncle."
"Let’s go," replied Hai Xi Half-Saint with a slight nod. "Our Undying Blood Clan’s army is already at the gates of the Unrivaled Sacred City, drawing away most of their attention."
"Now is the perfect chance to rescue you."
"What about the Primordial Heaven Sword?"
A gleam suddenly flashed in Qi Tian’s eyes, "Have we gotten our hands on it?"
Hai Xi Half-Saint shook his head, "That old and cunning fox, the Unrivaled City Lord, has begun to suspect the Half-Saints."
"The Primordial Heaven Sword has been hidden within the Ancient Sword Tomb."
"Ancient Sword Tomb?"
Qi Tian’s expression darkened slightly, "The Primordial Heaven Sword is a must-have for our Undying Blood Clan."
"We will immediately head to the Ancient Sword Tomb, seize the Primordial Heaven Sword, and then regroup with the main army."
"That suits my intentions," said Hai Xi Half-Saint.
"But before that, I need to sweep through the Sky Prison and release all the prisoners held within."
"A most clever plan," Qi Tian’s eyes lit up. The inmates sealed within the Sky Prison of the Unrivaled Sacred City were all notorious devils from the Eastern Domain. If they were all set free, they would surely create great chaos.
this would make it more convenient for the two of them to act.
Meanwhile, inside the Ancient Sword Tomb, after a full three days and nights, Lin Yi’s Meteor Sword, baptized by the fragments of the Sword Dao Rules within the Sword Tomb, had reached an unprecedented level of power.
The fluctuations that emanated from the Meteor Sword were now approaching the level of a Holy Sword.
It could certainly be considered a Quasi-Saint Sword.
"Unfortunately, it has not regained the power of its heyday, only about fifty or sixty percent," the somewhat regretful voice of the white-clad woman came from within the Meteor Sword.
"Only fifty or sixty percent?" Lin Yi couldn’t help but marvel.
The current Meteor Sword had already reached the level of a Quasi-Saint Sword, and that was merely fifty or sixty percent of its peak power. If it fully returned to its peak, would it not be a true and genuine Holy Sword?
Could the heirloom that his father, Lin Yaodong, had passed down to him actually be a Holy Sword?
Could there be a mistake!
