Chapter 1070: Chapter 1040: The Origin of Elda’s Holy Sword

"The dawn breaks, the sacred artifact emerges!"

In a secluded valley, a brilliant ray of dawn suddenly broke through the clouds and descended onto the sword engulfed in raging flames under Elda’s watchful gaze.

Watching as the long sword, heated red by the flames, absorbed the ray of dawn, Elda’s face turned red with excitement, occasionally distorting.

Even his breath became quickened at this moment.

Elda gazed obsessively at everything, for this was the sacred artifact soon to be his!

At this moment, Elda even began to envision the glorious moment of fame after attaining divine level success wielding this holy sword.

In his trance, nearly all of Elda’s attention was focused on the sacred artifact about to come into existence.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Even noticing the exhausted figure beside him, who staggered several times.

He never considered going over to help.

But this can’t entirely be blamed on Elda’s selfishness.

After all, no one has truly witnessed the forging process of a sacred artifact.

Elda’s hesitation to help was also because he feared affecting the other’s focus.

At this moment, with a loud shout from the man:

"Nine Dragon Forging!"

Then, under Elda’s astonished gaze, nine dragon phantoms suddenly descended from the sky.

Entwining with each other, as they were about to touch the ground, the nine dragons directly transformed into a massive hammer.

The man grasped the hammer, several times larger than his body, with all his might, swinging it down.

A heavy blow struck the sword:

"Clang~" resounded, echoing with a loud noise.

The entire valley shook violently at that moment.

As the action ended, the red sword visibly cooled rapidly.

The surrounding energy swiftly converged into the sword.

Upon seeing this, Elda’s eyes lit up:

"It’s done!"

Indeed, as Elda’s voice fell, the sword seemed to come alive, its body trembling with a "buzzing~" sound.

Meanwhile, the man appeared to be on the brink of collapse, suddenly kneeling.

Faced with the temptation of ’becoming a god,’ Elda instinctively moved towards the now completed holy sword.

But just as he took a step forward, suddenly:

"Pfft!"

Elda felt a sharp pain in his chest, his foot unable to take another step.

In disbelief, he looked down, only to see a sword piercing through his body from behind, its tip dripping blood at his chest.

He opened his mouth to say something.

But as soon as he opened it, a rush of blood surged to his throat:

"Ugh~ guh..."

Warm blood uncontrollably flowed from Elda’s mouth.

This sudden strike drained all of Elda’s strength.

At this moment, Elda couldn’t imagine.

As a Tier Eight Sword Saint, he would end his life in such a manner.

He longed to see who attacked him, rendering him unable to react.

But now, all he could do was struggle to lift his head as his life force swiftly drained, unable to even turn his head.

But through the man’s horrified reaction, Elda understood that perhaps the foe who injured him had come seeking revenge.

Looking at the shirtless man staring in shock behind him.

Elda’s heart filled with bitterness:

’Is this the feeling of death?’

Feeling his life force rapidly depleting, a bitter smile appeared on Elda’s face:

"So tired!"

In the moments of Elda’s fading consciousness, he suddenly heard the middle-aged man named Gonggong shout:

"It is indeed you!"

"One day you will face retribution."...

...

"When I awoke, I was already in this state."

In the Demon Forest of the Nine Nether Continent, Elda’s soul body floated before Lin Yi, speaking frankly:

"This time is real."

"This is everything I know."

Yet, many details of the process were left unsaid by Aidar.

But he understood.

The man before him would know what he wished to convey.

Lin Yi stood on the shoulder of the Golden Behemoth, gazing at the Emperor’s Charm Sword floating before him, silent for a long time.

Apart from Lin Yi, another unfamiliar man subdued by Lin Yi stood before Elda.

This man claimed to be a descendant of Gonggong, named Gong Chenyu.

The group stood on the shoulder of the furry Golden Behemoth. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Because it was quiet enough here, Lin Yi didn’t want more people to know about Elda’s existence.

Of course, the deeper reason was.

The words from Gong Chenyu truly shocked Lin Yi.

As Lin Yi first heard the entire history of Elda and the sword, a question arose in his mind:

Who killed Elda back then?

And what happened after Elda’s death?

Could the man named Gonggong have been the Gonggong from Hua Country’s Primordial Myth, who toppled Buzhou Mountain?

While Lin Yi was baffled by these questions, Gong Chenyu suddenly spoke:

"I know who killed him."

Gong Chenyu said this while also looking at the floating soul (Elda) on Lin Yi’s shoulder.

Lin Yi wasn’t surprised that Gong Chenyu could see Elda, but instinctively asked:

"You know?"

Knowing that this young man was only in his twenties.

The event happening millennia ago, how could he possibly know the murderer?

Yet Gong Chenyu’s next words truly made Lin Yi’s hair stand on end.

He answered calmly:

"Of course, because this isn’t a secret in our family."

This revelation not only shocked Lin Yi but also roused Elda:

"Then tell us, who is it?"

Gong Chenyu glanced at the duo, then said.

"The murderer resides in Rafam Continent."

"What?!"

Lin Yi looked at Gong Chenyu in disbelief, his voice tense:

"Who is he?"

Regardless of the truth behind his words.

The curiosity gripped Lin Yi about the identity of this person?

In Rafam Continent, those feared by a main god (Lv90) could be counted on one hand.

Among all the people Lin Yi knew, only one fit this condition.

As Lin Yi realized this, he tensed up.

Because he couldn’t know whether the person who killed Elda was who he thought it was.

If he was... Lin Yi felt a shiver down his spine.

But what Lin Yi awaited was the man’s next words:

"Take me to Rafam Continent, and I’ll tell you."
