Chapter 1439: Chapter 1439

As nightfall descended, the dark island fell into silence, with most martial artists asleep. Yet, the light was surprisingly on at the top floor of the fortress standing on a cliff edge.

Several X group agent guards stood at the fortress entrance, surrounded by many agents in black suits patrolling the area. This was the X group's base.

At that moment, in a spacious room, several figures sat on large chairs, among them, the green giant who had once fought against Lin Chen.

Beside the green giant, a teenager in a red shirt played a quick fighting game on his phone. Clearly lacking skills, he was soon KO'd by the opponent.

"Damn it, lost again," the teenager in the red shirt tossed the phone aside, glancing at the green giant beside him, "I heard today you lost to a yellow-haired kid from Chinese martial arts."

The green giant snorted coldly, "I was merely tricked by that kid. If we truly fight, I could definitely flatten him like a pancake."

"Haha, you're so brawny but lacking brains. Got sunk in the gutter this time, didn't you? If you had half the brains of our boss, you wouldn't disgrace our X group, right Jin Si," the teenager in red teased.

Beside the two, a youth sat with closed eyes, enveloped in a faint gold light, seemingly uninterested in their conversation.

"Jin Si, don't just be a shut-in, let's chat for a bit," the teenager in red grumbled.

Jin Si finally opened his eyes, "Lost is lost. We'll meet on Death Island again, and then we'll regain everything with interest."

Jin Si's voice was icy, a faint coldness graced his lips.

"I'll tear that kid to pieces," the green giant snarled, his face showing a vicious grin.

Suddenly, the green giant seemed to remember something, "Jin Si, today I saw that kid has quite a good relationship with Alice. He stood up for Alice today."

"Big brother, looks like you have a rival this time. That fellow is indeed daring," the red-shirted teenager laughed at Jin Si.

Jin Si's eyes slightly contracted, reached out, and a cup several meters away floated to him.

Draining the red wine inside, Jin Si's eyes shot with golden light, and the wine glass instantly vanished.

"Stealing my woman, he's seeking death."

Watching this scene, both the red-shirted teenager and the green giant displayed a chilling smile, clearly Jin Si had already deemed Lin Chen an enemy, making it hard for the fellow to escape death this time.

With the competition nearing, Devil Island became more raucous; many martial artists from various countries had grudges, fights kept erupting, leading the Martial Alliance to enforce rules canceling entry to Death Island for any fighters.

This managed to control the chaotic island situation.

Lin Chen and his group remained in the hotel, immersed in training, making final preparations for entering Death Island.

In the room, the short sword Lin Chen acquired recently hovered in mid-air as Lin Chen continuously infused it with Qi.

With Qi infusion, the sword's rust flakes off bit by bit, astonishing Lin Chen further when the next day the broken sword emerged renewed.

More surprisingly, Lin Chen detected a sinister spiritual power fluctuation within the sword body.

Lin Chen was startled.

Little Shuai chuckled, "Master, your luck is extraordinary, you discovered a Sword Spirit."

"Sword Spirit?" Lin Chen paused.

"Master, the short sword you bought isn't just any sword, it's a divine quality spiritual artifact," Little Shuai said blandly.

Lin Chen was startled upon hearing it.

Spiritual artifacts are divided into three grades, Lin Chen's Tianyan Ancient Sword is a top-grade spiritual artifact.

But a top-grade spiritual artifact also has divine quality, Lin Chen never imagined acquiring a divine quality spiritual artifact unwittingly.

No wonder the short sword absorbed his spiritual energy, now Lin Chen understood it wasn't the sword absorbing but rather the Sword Spirit within the sword.

Master, quickly fuse your blood essence into the sword to establish ownership, allowing the sword to resonate with your mind.

Lin Chen nodded, biting his finger to drop a thread of blood essence on the sword body.

As the essence fused into the sword, the short sword began vibrating vigorously.

Chilling frost erupted instantly.

Lin Chen felt a whirlwind stirred around him.

Finally, after the storm, the short sword regained calm.

Lin Chen sensed his mind truly linked with the short sword.

With a thought, the short sword floated into the void.

"Go!" Lin Chen pointed a finger, sending the sword shooting towards the wall.

"Return!" With a thought, the short sword whizzed back to Lin Chen's hand.

Had the sword truly struck the wall, its formidable power might have punched a huge hole in the wall.

"Truly a great thing," Lin Chen reveled in joy.

Owning this short sword means having an additional strategy.

Death Island presents countless dangers, having another strategy equates to another chance of survival.

Lin Chen did not expect the short sword bought casually at the ghost market would greatly exceed his expectations in delighting him.

Suddenly, a thought struck Lin Chen, and the short sword appeared again before him.

Lin Dong first stared blankly, then with puzzled eyes, watched the short sword shuttle in the air.

The short sword shuttled back and forth, with golden light woven by sword qi forming a mysterious pattern.

Upon seeing the few golden characters engraved on it, Lin Chen's expression showed slight delight.

Within the short sword, a treasure map was hidden.

Looks like I've truly profited this time. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel✶fire.net

While the nature of Tianyan Treasure is unknown, the sword itself is extraordinary, meaning the treasure is surely not ordinary.

Spending a million on this is undeniably worth it, not just the ancient sword, but the treasure itself is far valuing more.

Upon entering Death Island, I can search for this Tianyan Treasure.

Lin Chen smiled at the sword in the void, "What's your name?"

"Destruction God!" The short sword scripted two bold characters with sword qi in the air.

"Destruction God, what a domineering name," Lin Chen quietly marveled.

With a thought, Destruction God entered the Tianyan space.

This time, he gained not only a sword but also a mysterious treasure map, Lin Chen internally celebrated.

With a thought, his figure vanished from the room, entering Tianyan space for training.

Currently, Lin Chen's prowess stood at the demigod realm peak, sensing him just a paper's breadth away from the god realm.

However, Lin Chen knew well this paper-thin gap seemed close, but puncturing through it proved immensely difficult.

Indeed, Lin Chen's body possesses a divine pill; consuming it would ascend to immortality.

But Lin Chen had no plans of using this forceful cultivation enhancement drug.

Because, according to Little Shuai, the Immortal Realm is not the end, merely the starting point.
