Chapter 612: Inheriting The Sword Of Tianqu…
“I… I am not deserving of it,” Zeras said with furrowed eyebrows as he retreated away from the sword.
“It’s the sword of a supreme expert who has spent his entire life on the way of the sword. I am nothing but one who needs a weapon to practice my art. I will be fine with any sword.
Keep this for someone more worthy of it. More deserving,” Zeras said, as Elder Kang smiled and walked forward, picking up the sword from the stand before standing in front of Zeras.
“Then it is now your turn to find that worthy person, and before you do that, it will be yours,” Elder Kang said, as Zeras got on a single knee and took the sheathed sword in his grasp.
“I will find its rightful successor. I promise!” he said as he rose up and sheathed the sword just beside his waist.
“Now that that is settled, let’s get going,” Elder Kang said, as they walked away from the place and appeared outside the cavern.
“Before I go, might I ask you one more thing?” Zeras suddenly said, as Elder Kang nodded.
“Go on.”
“What’s the name of the expert who defeated Jiang Wushuang?” Zeras asked in curiosity.“He is called Nameless,” Elder Kang replied. Zeras’s eyebrows raised in surprise, but he nodded before quickly following after Kenji. However, before he could completely leave, he turned his gaze behind him, and with disbelief on his face, he discovered the rusty old tavern was now gone!
“Um, Kenji, are you seeing this?” Zeras couldn’t help but ask, as Kenji stopped and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
“See what, boss?” he asked, as he looked at the direction where the tavern was and his eyes showed no difference.
“The tavern. Can’t you see it’s no longer there?” Zeras asked, as Kenji scratched the back of his head before turning to look at Zeras.
“Um, what tavern, boss?” he asked him as Zeras looked at him dumbly.
“The tavern where we were given this sword, where we met with Elder Kang!?” Zeras repeated as Kenji still looked at him with the same dumb expression.
“Who is Elder Kang?” he asked, as Zeras looked at him in shock.
Then he couldn’t help but turn to his shoulder, to look at Fluffy who had been there all the while, but even Fluffy was looking at him with a strange expression, as if wondering when he started drinking.
Once more he looked behind him, seeing the tavern had disappeared into thin air, in its place tall trees and grass, before he shook his head.
“Forget it,” he said to Kenji, who looked at him strangely, before he shrugged and continued down behind him.

With the sword issue easily resolved, Zeras headed straight to the Shadow Oppression Valley, retrieving the badge from the two guards who prayed for him.
“I hope your shitty luck is as good as yesterday,” they prayed for him, but Zeras shrugged boringly, before he walked into the dark gate, and soon he completely disappeared into it. The two inner sect guards laughed sinisterly, this time, betting on how many body parts Zeras would lose.
The teleportation was just as fast as the previous day, as Zeras opened his eyes and found himself standing in the desolate crack.
But this time, he had some company, a total of three devil figures like that, were currently all staring at him, and a strange type of silence enveloped the area as man and devil looked at each other.
In the next instant, Zeras exploded forth with horrifying speed, his hand grabbing the hilt of the sword, and then…
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPP
A sword light flashed through the air with horrifying speed as Zeras crouched behind the three figures, before flinging the sword to the side, and gently returning it to its sheath…
CLINCK
Immediately, his sword entered the sheath completely, and a total of three heads rolled off the devils, bouncing on the ground a few times, before their three bodies plummeted to the ground.
“My explosive strength now is at an otherworldly level! It’s like I can instantly release all of my strength in a single shot, and my body can also easily withstand the instantaneous force,” Zeras mused to himself as he looked at his own hands.
Even in his previous peak, he couldn’t explode out with such instantaneous speed, and had to slowly jog forward, before he slowly exploded out with all his power.
Such a release of instantaneous energy would cause him to feel pain in his body, and that was why he preferred slowly releasing all of his energy.
But now, he could instantly release his energy, and also instantly stop his energy within his body, almost like a complete reflex.
Slowly walking out of the crack on the ground, Zeras slithered away like a snake, but Fluffy, who was sitting down on Zeras’s shoulder, had its jaws dropped to the ground when it saw the arm of devils as it slowly raised one of its paws and covered its mouth.
“You see Fluffy, it’s very dangerous here, and you won’t be allowed to move farther than a meter from me,” Zeras whispered to it, as Fluffy nodded continuously. Zeras quickly approached the mountain that he made, clearly rounding the place to make sure no devil sighted him, and then he quickly entered into it.
Once he arrived, he sat down straight, and immediately he concentrated on learning the Nine Star Breathing Technique.
After seven hours of practicing the technique, Zeras would return back to the sect ground with his teleportation card, before retreating back to his mountain peak and cultivating his Nine Star Hegemony art.
Once it was the morning, he would immediately head for the Shadow Oppression Valley, spending another seven hours within to practice his Nine Star Breathing Technique, before retreating to his peak and cultivating the Nine Astral Fist and cultivating his Nine Star Manual.
This endless cycle of cultivation continued every day without fail, and quickly Zeras gathered quite the attention to himself from his unfailing discipline and hard work towards his cultivation, and also his bravery of entering the Shadow Oppression Valley, without ever coming back with a wound.
Quickly time passed…
