Chapter 1315

The fifth, sixth, seventh……

Xiao Feng's advancing speed was as fast as Da Bai's flying speed.

He practically glued himself to Da Bai's back, whether fighting small monsters or bosses, never dismounting the whole time, lying on the soft feathers with his legs crossed, just short of holding a cigarette.

The bosses of the twelve Tiandu Peaks all fought in phantom form, and there was no longer anyone seeking death like Fairy Maiden Miao Yun.

By the time he reached the seventh peak, the boss's true form had already surpassed level 1000, reaching the True Immortal realm.

However, the phantom's strength was much weaker, just over level 650, merely at the Tribulation stage.

For Xiao Feng, this was no difficulty at all; he killed them with a casual swipe.

Besides Spirit Stones and materials, the rewards from boss battles kept gradually increasing.

The fourth and fifth peaks each gave two flying swords.

The sixth peak gave two flying swords plus a special pill named 【Sword Origin Pill】; taking it temporarily grants the skill list of a Spirit Transformation Sword Cultivator, equivalent to a job experience card, lasting 72 hours.

Although it didn't add attributes, it felt interesting, so Xiao Feng kept it for himself and had no intention of selling.

Because the seventh peak's boss was stronger, the rewards increased again, giving three magical artifacts, no longer limited to flying swords.

Eighth peak: the boss's true form was level 1050, and its phantom was level 680.

After defeating it, it likewise dropped three magical artifacts.

Ninth peak: boss level 1100, phantom level 700, dropping four magical artifacts.

At the tenth peak, the gatekeeper boss's strength suddenly surged to level 1330, an increase of 230 levels at once! Its phantom also grew stronger, reaching level 800, the Great Ascension realm.

For an ordinary player team, this was already extremely difficult, its difficulty not lower than the final boss of the Ru'erga Burial Ground, and even higher.

After Xiao Feng defeated the phantom, he obtained four magical artifacts, plus a top‑grade magical artifact.

Eleventh peak: boss level 1400, phantom level 850, hit points reaching 24 trillion.

Faced with Xiao Feng's attack, it barely managed to block for one second before being killed. The dropped contents were the same as the tenth peak's, except that among the four magical artifacts, two had no level requirement, making them much more valuable.

By this point, the whole dungeon was almost cleared, with only the final two monsters left.

Xiao Feng had also been inside the Sword Tomb for over a day.

When he rode Da Bai to the twelfth Tiandu peak, 'Buried Sword Peak,' what appeared before him was not a person.

But a sword!

That sword looked quite ordinary, just one meter long, with no dazzling light or strong aura, resembling a plain iron sword.

If it weren't standing right in the center of the boss chamber, Xiao Feng wouldn't have noticed it.

This sword was the twelfth boss.

Seeing Xiao Feng ascend the summit, it emitted a sound and said, 'Adventurer, being able to reach this place proves your strength. Defeat me, and you will have passed all trials, receiving Place's greatest gift.'

Xiao Feng frowned upon hearing this and said, 'Weren't there supposed to be thirteen bosses? How does it end with you?'

The sword replied, 'The hidden guardian of the Sword Tomb is my master; today he does not wish to fight, so you only need to defeat me.'

Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.

Missing one boss means losing 16 million Spirit Stones, plus at least four magical artifacts as item rewards.

That's no small amount; skipping a fight is a huge loss!

"Why don't you tell your master to come out and fight me? I'm strong—though I won't claim Invincible Under Heaven, at least I'm unbeatable inside the Sword Tomb." Xiao Feng tried to bargain with the boss.

To provoke the opponent into attacking, he even boasted loudly.

But the boss had none of it.

The sword calmly replied, 'We acknowledge your strength, so there's no need for another fight. Come on, defeat me, and you'll be the first challenger to clear Place, gaining fame under heaven!'

Xiao Feng let out a long sigh.

What a pity, so much money lost.

Moreover……

He helplessly said, 'I can't become famous under heaven; I can only finish this challenge in obscurity.'

Then he jumped down from Da Bai's back, the first time since the second peak that he dismounted to fight.

Because this final boss fights in its true form, with a level as high as 1450; if he didn't dismount, Da Bai's tiny frame would be killed by a single ordinary attack.

"Brother, give it your all—I'll cheer you on!"

Da Bai had already been terrified to death; a peak True Immortal expert was stronger than its elder brother in its past life. As soon as Xiao Feng dismounted, it flapped its wings and flew 30 kilometers away to hide.

If not for the air wall blocking it, it would even have wanted to jump off the summit to find a safe place to hide.

The twelfth boss's battle area is fairly large, encompassing nearly the whole mountaintop.

The summit of Buried Sword Peak is a jungle of discarded swords, countless abandoned huge blades piled everywhere—some rusted, some overgrown with weeds, and some already broken into fragments.

Before this sword jungle, the talking sword floated alone, appearing plain and unremarkable yet profoundly mysterious.

Xiao Feng glanced at its information.

【Lord of Buried Sword Peak—Heaven‑Opening Sword】

Level: 1450 (True Immortal)

HP: 8.8 ten quadrillion / 8.8 ten quadrillion

Note: One sword opens heaven, one sword destroys the world.

These stats are obviously far stronger than those of the previous bosses that fought in phantom form.

The eleventh boss's phantom is roughly as strong as the true form of the second boss, Fairy Maiden Miao Yun, with HP in the trillions.

But this twelfth boss directly increased by Ten Thousand Times, reaching the ten‑quadrillion level!

With this level and HP, among the strong opponents Xiao Feng has faced so far, aside from the World Boss Lord of the Earth not counting, only the Demon Emperor Xuan Die can firmly suppress one.

Even the Longevity Immortal Ape can only be considered roughly equal; it's not necessarily stronger.

"Come on, let me see how extraordinary this generation's cultivator prodigy is."

The Heaven-Opening Sword floated in midair, unmoving; there was no first move, but rather an opportunity was given to Xiao Feng.

Facing this level of boss, Xiao Feng didn't dare to be overconfident anymore.

He took out his weapon.

It wasn't the Cloud-Breaking Sword, but the Heavenly Path Whisk!

The Heavenly Path Whisk, an Ancestral God Treasure–level artifact, had been repaired for over two months and had not been used once up to now.

After many days, it appeared once again. As soon as it appeared, a terrifying aura directly disturbed the flow of qi between heaven and earth!

In the Tian Kong, a huge vortex appeared; the dark clouds were like thick ink poured into clear water, slowly swirling.

On the peak, fierce winds gusted; an invincible aura emanated from Xiao Feng, making even the Heaven-Opening Sword, a True Immortal of level 1450, feel immense pressure.

"Golden Immortal Treasure! You actually have a Golden Immortal Treasure!" the Heaven-Opening Sword exclaimed in shock, its tone no longer calm.

Xiao Feng smiled lightly: "Ordinary weapons are nothing to write home about. Heaven-Opening Sword, your quality probably isn't low either, right?"

Although the Heaven-Opening Sword is a boss, it is also the weapon of the behind-the-scenes big boss of the Sword Tomb, obviously also very precious.

The other party replied: "Not bad, I am also a Golden Immortal Treasure. I just didn't expect that after so many years, the first time I encounter an equal existence, it would be in the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator like you!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator wielding a Golden Immortal Treasure—if word got out, who knows how many people would laugh themselves to death.

Everyone would surely say, this is a kid holding a gold ingot on the street, definitely going to be robbed.

But this kid, however, possesses the strength to beat up adults!

"If I defeat you, can I capture you?" Xiao Feng, hearing the Heaven-Opening Sword's quality, couldn't help but salivate a little.

The Heaven-Opening Sword snorted lightly: "First defeat me, then talk. A Golden Immortal Treasure in your hand cannot unleash its full power!"

Xiao Feng laughed: "Yeah, I can only exert forty percent of my power. But against you… more than enough!"
