Chapter 67: Fragment of the Heavenly Sin Forging Blueprint, Unique Heritage Set Set!!

The combat power of this Blade Envoy was a thousand higher than that of the Darkness Envoy.

Out of caution, Ye Chuyun decided to let his avatar test the waters first.

This time, the avatar was much more cautious, first using Stealth to circle behind the Blade Envoy to disrupt any sneak attack.

However, before the avatar could even get close, the Blade Envoy—as if it had eyes on the back of its head—directly transformed into a dark shadow and struck the avatar.

"Not bad at all!"

Ye Chuyun exclaimed in surprise.

He discovered that the Blade Envoy seemed to possess a talent related to darkness as well.

While the Darkness Envoy manipulated dark matter, this Blade Envoy seemed capable of sensing darkness itself.

Therefore, as soon as the avatar used Stealth to hide within the shadows, the Blade Envoy detected it almost immediately.

After being struck, the avatar launched a series of fierce counterattacks against the Blade Envoy.

Yet no matter the angle of attack, the Blade Envoy used its sharp blades to parry everything perfectly.

Those blades also appeared exceptionally durable.

Furthermore, the entity moved at an incredible speed; even when the avatar unleashed elemental skills, it dodged them one by one.

"Such blistering speed!"

Watching his avatar begin to struggle, Ye Chuyun felt a jolt in his heart.

This was the first time he found a Blade Envoy somewhat difficult to deal with.

However, after the brief shock, Ye Chuyun noticed the Blade Envoy suddenly pivot toward him, abandoning the avatar to charge straight at him instead.

"It even has intelligence!" Ye Chuyun thought in astonishment.

Even so, he didn't flee; instead, he teamed up with his avatar to launch a joint assault on the Blade Envoy.

Although the Blade Envoy was tricky, Ye Chuyun had already figured out its combat patterns.

Dealing with it wasn't an insurmountable problem.

With the main body joining the fray, the Blade Envoy also sensed that something was amiss.

Though the two opponents looked identical, the combat power between them clearly belonged to entirely different tiers.

As Ye Chuyun gradually grasped the Blade Envoy's style, he began attacking at full strength.

The Blade Envoy showed signs of retreating.

The moment he caught that look in its eyes, Ye Chuyun felt a profound sense of familiarity.

Good grief, this was the prelude to an escape attempt.

"Hmph, as if I'd let you escape."

Ye Chuyun sneered, his eyes gradually turning deep and abstruse.

"Let me test the true might of mental control."

"Roar!"

Catching an inadvertent glimpse of Ye Chuyun's eyes, the Blade Envoy instantly felt that something was wrong.

But it was already too late.

By then, Ye Chuyun's mental energy had successfully breached the Blade Envoy's mind.

In less than ten seconds, the control was firmly established.

Once controlled, the Blade Envoy ceased its attacks entirely, standing blankly on the spot with lifeless eyes.

Though its speed was terrifying and its offensive capabilities formidable, its mental strength was vastly inferior to Ye Chuyun's.

"My word, could it really be this easy?"

Ye Chuyun himself was shocked by the sheer potency of his own skill.

He then tested issuing a command to the Blade Envoy.

"End your own life."

Upon receiving the order, the Blade Envoy did not hesitate in the slightest, plunging its twin blades directly into its own chest and ending its life.

"Turns out mental control is the most overpowered ability of all?"

Seeing the Blade Envoy fall, Ye Chuyun noticed a small piece of paper drop beside its corpse.

Initially, he assumed it was just another heritage fragment.

Yet when he picked it up and inspected it, he froze, momentarily doubting his own eyes.

[Fragment of the Heavenly Sin Forging Blueprint: A unique heritage set consisting of six pieces in total. Current fragment count (1/20)]

"No way, can this place drop things other than heritage fragments too??"

Staring at the blueprint fragment in his palm, Ye Chuyun could hardly believe his eyes.

A unique heritage set.

Having spent ten years in the Divine-Demon World in his past life, he had never even heard of such a thing.

Besides, how could this place possibly drop anything outside of heritage fragments?

"Could this be a hidden reward for the evaluation?"

Ye Chuyun speculated internally.

Pondering it from every angle, this was the only plausible explanation.

It had to be a hidden reward bestowed upon the challenger.

Perhaps in the past, the drop rate was simply too low, meaning no one had ever triggered this hidden reward even after passing the assessment.

However, thanks to his hundred-percent drop rate, he was able to uncover it.

Since it was a unique heritage set, its power was bound to be staggering.

He certainly couldn't let this opportunity slip by!

Suddenly brimming with motivation, Ye Chuyun rushed up the mountain, relentlessly hunting down Blade Envoys.

Once their weakness was uncovered, slaughtering them became an effortless task.

Essentially, every Blade Envoy Ye Chuyun located was killed in an instant.

The only difficulty lay in the fact that he had to rely entirely on his naked eyes to track them down, lacking any other specialized detection methods.

...

Unwittingly, another two hours slipped away.

Ye Chuyun eventually found a random, secure corner to rest.

He feasted on roasted meat and drank purified water while taking a breather.

Having spent two consecutive hours in a state of high-intensity combat, he was genuinely fatigued.

In particular, utilizing mental control repeatedly to dispatch the Blade Envoys had drained a massive amount of mental energy, necessitating a brief recovery period.

Over the past two hours, Ye Chuyun had acquired another 13 heritage fragments and 5 Heavenly Sin forging blueprints.

The goal of completing both the Book of Heritage and the Heavenly Sin set was no longer a distant dream.

By this point, he had only explored about a third of the entire mountain.

He estimated that exploring the remaining two-thirds would be more than enough to gather all the required pieces.

After resting for roughly half an hour, once his mental and physical stamina had returned to their peak condition, Ye Chuyun resumed his journey toward the mountain peak.

"Oh? A new type of envoy has appeared?"

After walking for a short while, Ye Chuyun spotted an envoy draped in black robes emerging ahead, exuding a mysterious aura.

[Name]: Earth-Shaman Envoy
[Level]: Level 10
[Combat Power Evaluation]: 10,000
[Characteristics]: ???
[Skills]: ???
[Talent]: ????
[Drop Rate]: 1%

"Challenger, the fact that you have made it this far proves you are worthy of crossing blades with me. Defeat me, and you may proceed."

To his surprise, the Earth-Shaman Envoy actually spoke.

"I will grant you three minutes to prepare. During these three minutes..."

Taking advantage of the Earth-Shaman Envoy's monologue, Ye Chuyun swiftly scanned his surroundings.

Ah, no traps, nor any companions nearby to offer assistance.

He had to seize the initiative and strike first!

Therefore, before the Earth-Shaman Envoy could finish speaking, Ye Chuyun directly summoned his avatar and launched a fierce assault aimed straight at the creature's vital points.

Simultaneously, his eyes deepened as he locked a piercing gaze onto the Earth-Shaman Envoy.

Yet to Ye Chuyun's astonishment, the entity acted completely unfazed, showing no reaction whatsoever.

This indicated that the opponent possessed formidable mental strength!

This fellow specialized in mental combat!

With a cold snort, the Earth-Shaman Envoy flicked its sleeves, whipping up roaring firestorms that surged directly toward them.

"Sea King's Wrath!"

Refusing to fall behind, Ye Chuyun unleashed torrents of water dragons that collided with the firestorms, mutually neutralizing each other.

Immediately afterward, the Earth-Shaman Envoy made another casual wave.

A ten-meter radius around them transformed into a frigid wasteland, drastically slowing down the movement speeds of both Ye Chuyun and his avatar!
