Sparse Words
The pile of bones moved on the ground but did not get up.
Liu Ping waved his hand and enveloped the entire room with the special effect of "Nothingness".
This way.
No matter what happened in the room, the outside would not be able to detect it.
"Well done, Liu Ping."
The Goddess of Death lit a cigarette and took a deep breath before squatting down in front of the skeleton and pressing her hand on the skull.
After a few breaths.
She said, "His soul has been eaten, only his bones are left … Through the bones' memories, we can know that this is a mage, the strongest kind. He was imprisoned here and used for various experiments. In the end, he couldn't hold on and died."
"What kind of experiments?" Liu Ping asked.
The Goddess of Death frowned and said in a low voice, "Probably the countermeasures and defense of various magic …"
God interrupted her and said, "This person died because he was used to verify the settings set …"
"Verification?" Liu Ping repeated.
"Yes, his magic had reached the peak and was captured to perfect the settings set of nightmare monsters to counter all living beings." God said.
"So it's such a place …"
Liu Ping squatted down and touched the pile of bones gently.
There were dense and deep marks on the bones. It was obvious that he had suffered unimaginable torture.
"… Tsk."
Liu Ping shook his head, stood up and looked outside.
Outside was an endless rock wall. There were many rooms like this carved out of it. They were densely packed and uncountable.
All the rooms were silent.
With his spiritual sense, Liu Ping could sense the situation in those rooms.
Everyone who was imprisoned here was dead.
Only the bones were left here.
The settings set was thus perfected and could counter all living beings without having to worry about being hurt by the power of living beings.
Liu Ping fell silent.
The Goddess of Death threw a cigarette over and said, "Smoke one if you're in a bad mood. Don't worry, this is ordinary tobacco."
Liu Ping took the cigarette and lit it up with a wisp of flame at his fingertips. He then took a deep breath.
"You know how to smoke." The Goddess of Death said with interest.
"When I was in the Path of Demons, I invented a special kind of cigarette. I don't remember the name now. In short, it was very shocking back then." Liu Ping said.
"Why was it shocking?"
"Because I mixed some souls of animals into the tobacco. It was very pleasant to smoke."
With a cigarette in his mouth, he slowly walked to the collapsed wall and looked out into the void.
A guard emitting starlight quietly flew past.
Liu Ping stood still.
It was dark all around. The only thing that could be seen was the flickering cigarette in his mouth. It silently emitted smoke that seeped into the darkness and gradually stretched out.
As there was no wind, the layer of smoke became thicker and thicker, causing Liu Ping's figure to become blurry.
"What are you thinking about?" The Goddess of Death softly asked.
"All living beings suffer," Liu Ping said.
"It's not just the living beings, even the Deities are trapped in suffering, unable to save themselves, let alone saving the living beings," the Goddess of Death said.
Liu Ping exhaled a puff of smoke as his gaze turned deep.
"I'm the first person to jump out of the settings, right?" he asked.
"You'll have to ask God." The Female Death shrugged.
God said in a thoughtful tone, "Overall, you are the first."
"Since I'm the first person, I'll reluctantly stand out and do something out of line," Liu Ping said as he put out the cigarette and flicked it to the ground.
In the darkness, he slowly pulled out his Baina Blade.
"Have you decided?" God asked.
"Hm." Liu Ping said.
A mature woman in a red robe silently appeared from the void of space, kneeling on one knee in front of Liu Ping as she placed both hands on the tip of the Baina Blade.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
The blade cut her hands, causing blood to spread across the blade.
"This blade can counter the enemy with equal measures, and I can also know the enemy's weakness. Now that I've blessed it with my own divine power, it will receive the support of my Law, increasing the power of 'Emergence'" the red-robed woman smiled.
Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:
[Gaia, Mother of Earth, has completely acknowledged you]
[She is the only true body of Mother Gaia in countless parallel worlds, she fled to the main world under the guidance of God, and was saved by you]
[This is a secret, do not speak of it, as the current blessing is known to this Sequence]
[Your weapon, the Baina Blade, has received the blessing of Mother Gaia's blood]
[Due to the Baina Blade's compatibility with Mother Gaia, this blessing has increased the blade's power]
[The Baina Blade has personally informed you of its power, only then will you be able to grasp its power]
All the text disappeared.
Liu Ping couldn't help but raise the blade.
Who knew that this time, without waiting for him to ask, the blade would automatically let out a buzzing sound.
It was as if someone was whispering into his ear.
Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:
[Blade name: Baina]
[Sole Artifact]
[Blade of Earth's Blessing, a blade that accommodates all things]
[This blade's power has increased by another level after being upgraded, it requires a certain amount of emotion to ignite its power, and can manifest the following powers:]
[Whispers: When the first blade touches the enemy, it will definitely see through the enemy's weakness]
[Passion: If the second blade can hit the enemy, it will definitely produce a fatal effect]
Liu Ping quickly finished reading, then bowed to Mother Gaia solemnly and said, "Thank you."
Mother Gaia bowed slightly and replied, "You're welcome, my life was saved by you … Now, please do as you wish."
She retreated into the void of space and hid again.
The surroundings became quiet again.
Liu Ping held the blade with one hand, closed his eyes, as if entering a state of meditation.
Only the Goddess of Death stood not far behind Liu Ping, slowly smoking a cigarette.
An indescribable aura spread out in all directions. It was an invisible undercurrent, and as time passed, it gradually became turbulent.
At a certain moment.
The Goddess of Death raised her brows and looked at the dark void outside. "I smell … a familiar scent."
In the depths of the dark Void, a Starguard was slowly flying over.
Liu Ping slowly opened his eyes and took a step forward.
He silently flew towards the Star Guardian and only stopped when he was about to arrive in front of the Star Guardian.
The Star Guardian did not notice anything and continued to fly toward him.
Liu Ping raised his saber and waited quietly.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened.
At last
The Star Guardian's glowing body crashed into the Baina Saber.
It retreated abruptly, as if it could not understand.
It's clearly a void.
Why did he feel as if he had bumped into something sharp, and why did he feel a piercing pain?
Weng!
The long saber was buzzing.
The message is complete!
Liu Ping appeared from the void and flew toward the Stard Guardian.
The Stard Guardian immediately reacted and condensed a dazzling pillar of starlight all over its body. It instantly surpassed the limits of time and space and hit Liu Ping directly.
But it missed!
This turbulent pillar of starlight pierced through Liu Ping's body and flew into the distance. It directly shot through layers of buildings, penetrated the ground, and shot into outer space.
It turned out that this was Liu Ping's illusion!
He was born the King of Deceit. Even the Lord of Nightmares was deceived by the special effects master, let alone this Star Guardian.
"Hehe, the time of death has arrived." The Goddess of Death stood in the room and flicked the ash off her cigarette.
Before she finished speaking.
Liu Ping quietly appeared behind the Stard Guardian.
The long saber in his hand trembled incessantly and erupted with a high-pitched roar, as if it was venting Liu Ping's indescribable anger.
"Die."
Liu Ping said calmly.
Passion!
A gust of wind rose and the saber's aura was dense. Like a cloud chasing the moon, it soared into the sky and dispersed amidst the boundless roar.
In an instant, the Stard Guardian let out a low scream in the saber's aura. Its body was slashed to the point that not even a speck of dust was left.
Lines of small burning words quickly flashed:
[You've used the power of the Baina Saber: Whispering, Passion]
[You've killed a world-class life form: Star Guardian]
['Joy of Slaughter' has been activated]
[Please continue to kill an existence of the same type. The Soul Points you obtain will be enough to advance to the next realm.]
[Next realm:
[This is the realm of Immortals. You can already belong to the Heaven realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation]
[Do your best.]
All the small words disappeared.
Liu Ping heard a sigh in his ear.
"Killed it." God said.
"Yes, killed it." Master Pao said.
The two sighed with a faint sense of comfort in their tone.
"With my blessing, of course there's no problem. Isn't that right, Liu Ping?" Mother Earth snorted softly.
"That's right, Milady, this is the meaning of us fighting side by side." Liu Ping smiled.
He looked towards the ruined room.
Only to see a faint glow on the Goddess of Death's face, her gaze moved as her presence became a bit stronger.
When she noticed Liu Ping looking at her, she showed a rare look of embarrassment and explained:
"Death can increase my power, especially the death of an existence that I'm looking forward to."
Mother Earth chimed in: "Liu Ping, you've alerted all the world-class life forms nearby, hide now."
Liu Ping glanced around.
Only to see streaks of light quickly flying towards him.
These were the Star Guardians who were alerted!
He looked at the Goddess of Death.
The Goddess of Death silently disappeared, once again hiding inside the black ring on his ring finger.
"Everyone, do you have any objections to the Goddess of Death becoming stronger?" Liu Ping pondered and asked.
"No objections, quickly hide, there are too many enemies." Master Pao said.
Liu Ping waved his hand.
Special Effects Artist activated!
He was instantly plunged into nothingness.
But he continued to ask: "Gaia, do you have any objections?"
"Of course not, after her power increases, she can actually provide me with a bit of help." Gaia answered.
"Where's God?" Liu Ping asked.
"Do it, child." God replied.
Liu Ping nodded, wielded the Baina Blade with both hands, and held it vertically in front of him.
At this point, the Star Guardians had already arrived, but they couldn't find Liu Ping.
They glanced at each other, and their bodies suddenly expanded at the same time.
They were about to unleash a large-scale group attack!
Within the nothingness.
Liu Ping stood still.
But the Blade in his hand disappeared.
Following that, he also disappeared without a trace.
A second later.
An ethereal sound rang out, as if it was a beautiful piece of music that came from beyond the infinite nothingness.
The Star Guardians exchanged glances, not knowing what just happened.
Only a few lines of burning text remained in the void of space:
[With your anger today, you've once again ignited the power of the Blade]
[You've performed a secondary Occultism Blade Technique:]
[All who hear this will be beheaded and have their souls severed.]
[There's no way to avoid sound.]
[All targets have been hit]
['Whispering' has been activated!]
