《Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King》Chapter 125 - Leaving The Legacy Ground (2)

"Alright." The Azure Bow spirit said.
It then continued "That thing that you turn into? What's it called?"
"Oh That. That's my true vampiric form" Xiao Lin answered.
Once Xiao Lin said that, the Azure Bow Spirit looked at him with shock in it eyes.
"You are a living dead?" It asked with great shock in it eyes while Xiao Lin only nodded his head.
"Hmm. Well, giving my master's legacy to you isn't that bad. It's actually cool, since you aren't like the others that will die once they are killed in battle, or reach the end of their lifespan."
"So, as for you is who is a living dead, since you are already but can still move about like a sentient, animated corpse, the factor of aging that affects both mortals and cultivators alike, wouldn't really affect you, right?" The Azure Bow Spirit asked.
"Yes. It wouldn't. So, I am basically an immortal. And my current teenager form would remain for eternity." Xiao Lin replied.
He then continued, "I am the first of my kind in this world. There is no other like me."
"Hmm. That's good." The Azure Bow Spirit said.
It then continued "So, even if you don't find a way to break through into the next cultivation stage, your life span wouldn't run out like how it happens for other cultivators who don't break through on time?"
"Yes. Since I am not affected by the number of years that a particular cultivation stage would grant a cultivator, when I get to the end of it, I wouldn't die, since I am not depending on the lifespan bestowed upon me by that particular cultivation stage." Xiao Lin replied with a smile appearing in his face.
"So, you are basically immortal?" The Azure Bow Spirit asked. And assuming the Azure Bow Spirit was a human, Xiao Lin would be able to see the overly excited expression that had appear in it face.
But actually sensing the feelings of delight radiating off of its tone, Xiao Lin only smiled and then nodded his head.
"Yes I am." He responded.
"Awesome! This is really great." The Azure Bow Spirit said.
It then continued "Now that I have chosen you to become my master's legacy inheritor, then that means my masters legacy arts and weapon will continue to reign for eternity. And since you are really strong yourself and obstinate to a fault, I am completely sure you will grow to become tremendously powerful."

"My master's art will be able to reign supreme in the world again. Haha!" The Azure Bow Spirit said while Xiao Lin only nodded his head.
Then when the excitement roiling within it heart calmed, it looked at Xiao Lin and asked "But your path is going to be full of obstacles, especially the sun. It would be everywhere you go to."
"Yes, I know that. That's why I am trying my best to become powerful on time so that when I cultivate my vampiric art to a certain, really high stage, I will become fully resistant to the sun." Xiao Lin said with eyes that glowed.
He then continued with a slightly sad expression creeping up his face. "But, I don't see that happening anytime from now. I am still tremendously far from reaching that high stage where I would become like an actual god and cause seas and oceans of blood to appear and sweep away everything that would appear in my path."
"Hmm. Well, just like I suspected. You won't be able to enter the sun, therefore making you a being that can only move about in the evening or at night" The Azure Bow Spirit said.
It then continued, "However, I think I can help you on that. But we can only hope that it works."
Once the Azure Bow Spirit said that, Xiao Lin's eyes widened in shock.
"R-Really? Y-You can do something about my inability of not being able to walk under the sun?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask in a stuttering manner.
"Yes, I can. But I am not really sure if it would work. But we can try it out at least, then we would know if truly the item will help you regain your ability to walk under the sun once again or not." The Azure Bow spirit said while Xiao Lin nodded his head.
He then waited for what the Azure Bow Spirit was going to do next.
A few moment after waiting, a bright blue light suddenly flashed in his eyes, forcing him to abruptly close his eyes. Then when he opened them back, he could see a large, metallic bracelet floating in the air before him.
Then on carefully observing the bracelet as it slowly revolved in front of him, he could see certain inscriptions of ancient texts and engravings of the sun on the surface of the bracelet.

"Hmm. What is this treasure called?" Xiao Lin asked with a burning curiosity in his eyes.
"That bracelet, is called Six Solar Aperture Shadowking Bracelet. It is from this particular item that my master derived the sun-chasing skill from which he condensed into a core of power within his Heavenly Carnage Azure Bow." The Azure Bow Spirit said while Xiao Lin's eyes widened with shock appearing in them.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes." The Azure Bow Spirit uttered.
It then continued, "Our master was able to grab hold of this treasure from a particular segregated region like his in the Spirit Continent."
"The bracelet, which belonged to a deceased but immensely powerful, primitive cultivator called the Violet Sun-Collapsing Emperor in the Spirit Continent, was someone who was also colossally gifted at crafting treasures of heaven-rebelling power."
"Then using the great and deep comprehension gained from completely mastering his lost Sun-Collapsing art which he infused into a particular material that he used to form the bracelet, he was able to come up with the Six Solar Aperture Shadowking bracelet, after adding a few other extremely rare things to it which were the Shadowking Darkness-Weaving Essence, and the Solar-Blanketing Divine Apertures." The Azure Bow Spirit mentioned.
"Wow! This sounds great." Xiao Lin said with marvel in his eyes.
"Yes" The Azure Bow spirit said.
Then it continued "The Violet Sun-Collapsing Emperor created that treasure to grant him the ability to be able to reach the sun and take it essence to craft a more powerful treasure that he had in mind."
"Wow. That's awesome." Xiao Lin said.
He then asked "But was he able to accomplish the dangerous task that he set for himself?"
"No, he couldn't." The Azure Bow Spirit said.
It then continued, "Actually, it was wrong about the solar-dispelling capability of the treasure that he created. It couldn't protect him really well when he arrived at the core of the sun to take fragments of its massively powerful luminous quintessence."
"So, carrying about his activity at the core of the sun, the bracelet which couldn't resist the tremendous solar energy that it was trying to dissipate so that it wearer won't be harmed, became absolutely overwhelmed and then gave way for the the burning, overbearing fierce energy coming from the sun to constantly impact the Violet Sun-Collapsing Emperor, before he was furiously launched away from it back to the earth where he smashed into the earth millions of feet below him and caused a really deep, city-sized crater to appear in the region that he crashed into, therefore bringing about injuries that later resulted in his death."
"Wow!" Xiao Lin uttered with shock in his eyes.
He then said further "Horrifying things cultivators do to acquire this absolute world sovereign power."
"Yea." The Azure Bow Spirit said.
Then Xiao Lin who was gazing at the bracelet that revolved in the air in front of him with a light of great astonishment flashing continuously in his eyes, said "I think it should work. It should be able to help me dissipate the burning luminous energy coming from the sun which is an ultimate taboo to me. Or what do you think, Azure Bow Spirit?"
"That's why I said that I am not really sure. The bracelet has sustained a great lot of damage to it structure when it became overwhelmed my the constant bombardment of solar energy at the core of the sun, and when the Violet Sun-Collapsing Emperor crashed into the earth from where the sun was. And even if it could, it wouldn't take much time before it collapses apart and allow flood of solar rays to submerse you and turn you into ashes, or possibly nothing." The Azure Bow Spirit said.
"Urgh! That's pretty bad. Then why did our master pick up such a useless treasure?" XjajLim asked with disappointment radiating off of his tone.
"Well, my master who was bright, young, exceedingly curious, and wanted to create his own spiritual Battle Art, fought to become the sole inheritor of the Violet Sun-Collapsing Emperor. And when he got it after defeating everyone that walked into the legacy ground, and then took his time to really study the Six Solar Aperture Shadowking Bracelet, he was able to come up with the bow and arrow skill that he calls Sun-Chasing battle skill which he developed for himself to tremendously increase his power in battle."
"Hmm. Alright." Xiao Lin said with a slight, single nod of his head after the Azure Bow Spirit explained to him why his master took the bracelet since it could be heavily damaged.
"So, would you like to try it to know if it would work?" The Azure Bow Spirit asked.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
