Fang Xian looked at the "Xuanyuan Sword," captivated by its beauty.
As a national treasure of the Dragon Kingdom, the "Xuanyuan Sword" was naturally enhanced to level 20 with the Dragon Kingdom's utmost effort, and its socketing and refinement were all top-tier.
The enchantment was "Bloodlust," providing 20% omnipotent lifesteal.
This greatly increases the healing effect of the user's normal attacks and skill damage, significantly enhancing the user's survivability.
Effect 1 is simple: the faster the attack speed, the more attacks are dealt.
Effect 2 combined with Effect 1 is equivalent to speed upon speed, tripling the damage.
Effect 3 combined with Effects 1 and 2 is both fast and powerful.
In addition, Fang Xian's "God-tier attribute: Energy" grants him a 630% critical hit rate and 2100% critical hit damage.
This means that Fang Xian can deal terrifying damage simply by using the "Xuanyuan Sword" for basic attacks.
The God-tier effect also adds 10% true damage, a relatively rare attribute.
True damage ignores all defense; it deals damage as soon as it hits, making it a very practical effect.
His first active skill, "Charged Strike," is rather underwhelming. Firstly, it requires 5-10 seconds to charge, and the damage is only 200%-500%.
Furthermore, it can only damage one target, making it quite weak.
Instead of wasting time attacking, you'd be better off spending 10 more seconds hacking away; that would do more damage.
Active Skill 2, "Sword Sweep," is decent but unremarkable—an area-of-effect skill with no standout features.
Active Skill 3, "Swift Sword Immortal," is the core skill. It increases agility and attack speed by 100% for 7 seconds and ignores slow effects.
Combined with Effects 1, 2, 3, and the divine effect, it can unleash incredibly fast and explosive damage.
Whether in one-on-one combat or facing a group, this skill is equally effective.
Truly deserving the title—Swift Sword Immortal.
As for the final divine active skill, "Heaven and Earth Sword," it goes without saying. Its 10,000-meter range alone is enough to overwhelm many "divine weapons."
It boasts rare physical and magical damage output, capable of handling enemies with varying defenses.
It also inflicts armor penetration and vulnerability effects, setting the stage for subsequent damage output.
This "divine weapon" was truly his dream weapon, perfectly fulfilling his childhood dream of being a dashing and unrestrained swordsman.
"Elder Zhong, are you really going to give me this 'Xuanyuan Sword'?"
Zhong Shenxiu smiled kindly and nodded sincerely.
"A national treasure should be wielded by a pillar of the nation. You are our hope, and the hope of all humanity."
Fang Xian gripped the "Xuanyuan Sword," his eyes filled with solemnity.
He gripped the hilt tightly, took a deep breath, and slowly drew the sword.
A slight friction sound emanated from the blade against the scabbard, exceptionally clear in the silent space.
Under the crimson moon, the "Xuanyuan Sword" was drawn inch by inch, gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
Fang Xian stood tall, his gaze resolute, raising the "Xuanyuan Sword" high.
"I, Fang Xian, will not fail in my mission."
His voice was powerful and resounding, drawing the attention of everyone in the silence.
They bowed slightly, eyes closed, hands clasped together, fingers pressed together at their chests, focused and devout.
At this moment, they were praying for Fang Xian, praying for the Dragon Kingdom.
...
Four days later.
The crimson moon hung high in the sky, casting an eerie light.
Vegetation grew wildly, vines twisting and writhing like giant pythons crawling across the ground.
Animals' eyes flashed with a strange red light, their mouths emitting chilling roars as they frantically attacked all living things.
The entire world was permeated with the aura of death, a scene straight out of the apocalypse.
Low-level professional Awakened Ones worked in groups, systematically killing the frenzied animals and plants, ensuring the safety of their designated areas.
High-level professional Awakened Ones from various countries floated in the air, gazing upwards, a chilling aura enveloping the heavens.
Fang Xian, clad in the "Dragon Suit," wielding the "Dragon Staff," with the "Xuanyuan Sword" at his waist and the "Black Tortoise Shield" in his hand, stood with the imposing "White Tiger Wings" behind him.
He slightly opened his eyes, gazing at the sky, and spoke in a deep voice.
"They've arrived."
His 22 wives stared solemnly at the heavens.
The sky suddenly darkened, and a cloud of gloom gathered.
A fierce wind howled, whipping up sand and stones.
Suddenly, a deep, dark rift silently opened in the sky, an intense sense of oppression surging forth like a tidal wave, causing everything to tremble.
Then, two enormous gray hands emerged from the rift, widening it, and a head radiating a terrifying aura protruded.
Its eyes, like two enormous blood moons, emitted a cruel and cold light.
Beneath its pointed nose were thin, purple lips, the corners of which curled into an eerie smile.
It slowly crawled out, its body massive and imposing, like an unshakeable gray mountain.
The appearance of the demon god plunged the entire world into a deathly silence of despair.
The air seemed to freeze, time seemed to stand still, only the demon god's chilling smile reigned supreme over this land.
