Chapter 1007: Perhaps Related to the Sacred Realm

A man dressed in a white robe was struck, and although he had just erected a powerful spiritual barrier, it could only barely withstand Su Kexin’s incoming sword energy.

He was somewhat lucky; in situations like this, most people simply wouldn’t survive being hit by her sword energy.

The man possessed strong spiritual energy but did not dare to confront Su Kexin head-on. After all, he sensed a formidable power emanating from her. If they fought, he doubted he would be a match for her.

Attempting to negotiate, he said, “Miss, please don’t be agitated. I am not a villain; I wish to discuss something with you.”

With a friendly tone, he tried to communicate, but it seemed Su Kexin was not in the mood for negotiations and launched herself forward with a fierce sword attack.

Boom!

The descending sword was intense, landing with a thunderous sound. The sharp spirit sword came so close that the man nearly got struck. Fortunately, he managed to evade, though it left him in unprecedented terror, as if he could be sliced down at any moment.

He looked into Su Kexin’s expressionless eyes, starkly different from the naive and romantic girl she had been just moments before.

This girl…

Could kill a Sacred Beast with a single move, her strength was not to be underestimated.

However, this surge of power appeared suddenly. He had just witnessed how helpless she had been against the Sacred Beast, seemingly unable to fight back, yet ultimately, she had turned the tables and killed the beast.

This kind of power seemed to have appeared in the Sacred Realm before. Could she have any associations with it?

The man was puzzled. The only person in the world known to possess powers related to the Sacred Realm was that Empress with the surname Luo. It seemed that the human realm was more interesting than he had anticipated.

Of course, no matter how interesting, he had to prioritize self-preservation.

Although he hailed from the Sacred Realm, he was now in the human realm and facing an unknown threat from someone with considerable power—dangerous for a human body to endure.

Retreat it is.

He had no choice but to avoid her onslaught and quickly withdrew, fortunate that Su Kexin did not pursue him, allowing for a successful escape.

He kept a safe distance from Su Kexin, enabling him to observe her while still being able to swiftly retreat if she attacked.

Su Kexin’s explosive state did not last long, and shortly after the white-robed man had engaged her, she calmed down.

Her eyes regained their color, and the sharp sword in her hand gradually lost its radiance, her power diminishing, returning her body to a normal state.

“Ah?”

Now back to herself, Su Kexin realized she had escaped from the crack, and that fearsome rocky dragon had been obliterated.

Unlike before, Su Kexin retained some memory of the event; she remembered having acted in combat.

“Did… did I kill it…?”

She looked down at the Phoenix Sword in her hand, feeling a bit incredulous.

She seemed different from her usual self at that moment…

What was this power…?

Could it be related to her Senior Martial Brother? Was it the power bestowed upon her by the Phoenix Sword’s growth?

Hmm…

Suddenly, she recalled encountering a girl resembling her in the illusion. That girl had claimed they were the same person.

And just now, her state felt similar to that girl’s back then.

Could it be that I truly am her?

No, no, that bad woman had attacked my Senior Martial Brother in the illusion; I am not like that!

But did I truly have the ability to slay it?

Su Kexin had some self-awareness. That massive rocky dragon had just nearly devoured her; how could she have not only escaped but also killed it?

“Is it dead?”

She cautiously approached, poking the rocky remains of the dragon with her sword, and there was no reaction.

“Hmm… it really is dead… Oh? It seems there’s something.”

She noticed a faintly glowing orb in the dragon’s center and curiously jumped over to take a look.

“So bright… what is this?”

Intrigued, she picked it up, sensing a subtle, stirring power within.

“This is the beast core of a Sacred Beast, containing immense power.”

Suddenly, the man’s voice echoed. Su Kexin turned to find the mysterious man in white.

“Who are you? Wait, was that a fight we just had earlier?”

“Miss, do you not remember what just occurred?” he asked.

“I recall a little… It seems I gained some power and then killed that dragon. Was that fight with a stranger… you?”

“It was me.”

“Ah! My apologies, my apologies! I didn’t mean to! I just don’t know why, but a power surged within me, and I lost control, as if I were dreaming… If I caused any offense, I’m truly sorry!”

Su Kexin quickly apologized. Regardless of the circumstances, attacking someone with no grudge was definitely too rude!

“It’s alright, I’m fine. I’m just curious how you possess the strength to contend with a Sacred Beast.”

“A Sacred Beast? Are you referring to that? Is it a type of spirit beast?”

“Not quite. A Sacred Beast originates from the Sacred Realm, and for some reasons, they have entered the human realm.”

“The Sacred Realm? Sacred Beasts? What does that mean? Sorry, my knowledge is quite lacking…”

Su Kexin was left utterly bewildered. Having stayed at the Xuanyun Sect for so long, she had never come across these terms.

“The Sacred Realm lies beyond the human realm, where many beings and humans with sacred powers exist…”

The white-robed man began explaining some details about the Sacred Realm, but Su Kexin listened with a dazed expression.

What’s this? Such a place exists? No one had ever mentioned this before, not even her Master or Senior Martial Brother!

“Hmm… really…? But no one has ever spoken of this…”

“The Sacred Realm has long been separated from the human realm, so it’s normal for there to be no records. If there were records, perhaps only the immortal texts from those sacred mountains would speak of it, and even your sects may not have them.”

“I see…”

Su Kexin felt a bit overwhelmed, realizing how tiny she was in comparison, as if the world had grown larger.

“The Sacred Beasts have already escaped the Sacred Realm and are currently roaming the human realm. Though their forms are massive, they can conceal themselves; by the time you see their true forms, they might already be upon you. Various natural disasters are occurring across the human realm now, and that dragon you killed was one of the Sacred Beasts.”

“Are Sacred Beasts really strong?”

“Very strong. Moreover, they have begun to adapt to the human realm, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, which will make them even more powerful. I suspect that even highly skilled humans would find it impossible to kill them alone.”

“Then how do I…?” Su Kexin was astounded.

“That’s why it’s peculiar. I suspect your ability is related to the Sacred Realm. Ordinary humans do not possess such power.”

The white-robed man pondered a moment before saying, “Regardless, you have the ability to contend with Sacred Beasts. You can seal any rifts from other realms to prevent the energy from the Sacred Realm from leaking into the human realm, or else it would cause significant destruction.”

“Destruction?! How do I do that? Can I really manage it?”

“You can, of course, but it will require your cooperation,” the man replied.

“If I can help save the human realm, I will cooperate!” Su Kexin stated firmly.
