Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 922 - 258: Unstoppable Combo, Instant Salvation (Part 3)

But in the environment of the Monster World, they cannot change the environment; the fit survive, the unfit perish.

Obviously, the Evil Sword Lineage is more adapted to the environment of the Monster World, which is also the reason for the demise of the Heavenly Sword Lineage.

This shows that the Divine Artifact Rule is not purely about absorbing negative emotions to produce strength; positive belief-type emotions can also generate energy.

It's just that the Evil Sword Lineage chooses to enhance themselves through negative emotions.

The Overlord Sword is the descendant of the Evil Sword Lineage.

"It's too cruel. The more NPCs you interact with, the more you realize how hard it is for all races, including the old man, who bore the hatred of extermination for a lifetime," Jiang Cheng couldn't help but remark.

"Indeed, playing the game feels like being in another world, the sense of immersion is too strong," Xia Sheng nodded in agreement.

On the other side, the returning Overlord Sword hovered below a golden crystal stone in the clan land.

Four sword-shaped clansmen surrounded it.

Under their control, the golden crystal stone emitted eight strands of light, piercing into the blade of the Overlord Sword, rapidly flowing inside.

Then the golden crystal stone descended with a beam of light, completely covering the blade of the Overlord Sword.

In the beam of light, countless energy flows as fine as hair traversed along the blood pattern on the sword's spine.

The Rule Energy Flow gathered at the sword tip and then flowed back along the blade edge, passing through the fine cracks on the surface of the Overlord Sword.

Among them, the core at the sword guard was examined intensely, the energy flow formed a vortex there, repeatedly washing over the Rule-derived Imprint.

Inside the blade, the energy flow gradually outlined a complete vein diagram, inspecting the smoothness of every energy node.

Finally, all the energy gathered at the end of the hilt, forming a perfect cycle.

The inspection results showed that the Rule-derived Imprint inside the Overlord Sword had no issues, all channels in the blade were unobstructed, and energy flowed smoothly, without any sign of abnormal blockage.

This left the four tribe elders deeply puzzled.

The light from the golden crystal stone gradually receded, and the energy flow retreated like a tide.

The blade of the Overlord Sword trembled slightly, then returned to normal.

"Overlord Sword, are you sure there's something wrong with your body?" asked the cyan-colored long sword hovering nearby in a deep voice.

"Tribe elder, I'm sure, whether it's negative emotions or Qi-Blood Energy, I can no longer absorb them."

"But we've thoroughly examined your body and found no problems; the Rule Energy in your body operates very smoothly."

The clan elder's response left the Overlord Sword baffled as well.

Returning to the clan land was its only perceived channel to resolve the hidden problems in its body.

Yet even the tribe elders couldn't find the root cause, meaning it might be completely ruined.

"Perhaps only the racial forces that seriously injured you can help solve the problem. Do you know which race attacked you?"

"I don't know, they have purple skin, I was just passing by when I got struck and nearly died; I don't understand the opponent's racial combat power at all."

Saying this, the Overlord Sword shared the memory images in its mind with the four tribe elders using Spirit Tentacles.

With the elders' knowledge, perhaps they can determine the origin of this race.

This is also one of the development advantages of the Divine Artifact Clan: intelligence gathering.

Every new generation member of the Divine Artifact Clan would be projected to various regions of the Pale Continent to seek growth independently. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

As they accompanied their hosts in growth, they also gathered information about the host's regions.

Every clansman returning would bring a wealth of intelligence.

Including intelligence on the distribution of forces in various regions.

When the Overlord Sword transmitted the images of the purple-skinned Jile Main God, the expressions of the four tribe elders became remarkably vivid.

"The Jile Clan!"

"Clan elders, do you know this race?"

"Originally, we planned on coercive action to assist you; it seems there's no chance now," the cyan-colored long sword said regretfully, and continued to explain:

"This race is called the Jile Clan, they have numerous Space Nodes in our Pale Continent Region, luring external beings in, and once you cross the gate within, you'll be consumed by endless desires, gradually leading to destruction... our ability to control emotions is as insignificant as fireflies compared to the moon when compared with theirs, not even on the same level, including the strength of rules they possess far exceeds ours."

"We feed on negative emotions, while the Jile Clan excels in creating extreme emotional pleasure, even we find it hard to resist."

Saying this, the cyan-colored long sword drew light and shadows, sketching out numerous scenes.

Warriors perished in exhaustion during endless Strength ascension.

The greedy decayed into white bones in a pool of wine, the unconstrained joy before death still frozen on their emaciated faces.

Scholars embraced false eternal answers, turning into dry statues in the library, with their energy already depleted.

Countless beings indulged in blissful illusions, while their flesh decayed in extreme pleasure.

At the end of these light and shadow images, a Drunken Dream Sword from the Divine Artifact Clan became a mere shell adorned with luxurious decorations, hanging within the blissful scene.

"Clan elder, since no one can escape from the blissful scene, how did you obtain these images?" the Overlord Sword curiously asked.

"When our clan first descended into the Monster World, a core team inadvertently entered the Blissful Space, only a Heavenly Sword escaped using Vast Sword Intent, the other clansmen all perished there; these images were provided by the Heavenly Sword at the time."

Upon hearing of the Heavenly Sword, the Overlord Sword's mind automatically conjured the image of the Broken Sword carcass pierced by eight blood-colored chains outside the Transmission Channel.

Once one of the leaders of the Divine Artifact Clan, due to differing racial development philosophies with the Evil Sword Lineage, it ultimately sparked a war for the ownership of the Divine Artifact Rule, leading to its defeat and demise.
