Chapter 961: The Meaning of Legend

"Welcome back." Xia Ling looked at Xia Jie, who was dragged back by Yun Xi like a dead dog, and pressed her forehead in disbelief.

She had no doubt about her own brother's defeat.

Anyone who had witnessed Yun Xi's display of the Gigabit Wings would not have any expectations of Xia Jie's victory.

It was not a match of the same level, and she couldn't even determine the power level of Yun Xi.

Is he at the fourth rank of hero-ranked, the fifth rank, or even higher?

Unlike the third rank of ordinary humans, it was extremely difficult for hero-ranked individuals to challenge higher ranks.

The power difference between the fourth and fifth rank is usually more than ten times, and the strongest human at the sixth rank, if equipped with a suitable God Weapon, could even have a power difference of over a hundred times.

The power of non-human races, who have lived for thousands of years or even longer, is still only at the sixth rank. In theory, the strength of a hero-ranked sixth rank is unfathomable to humans.

The legend rank is what humans call the mighty sixth rank of these non-human races. Some of these legendary creatures have existed for a time surpassing even the history of human civilization.

As the highest level that the majority of intelligent races can reach, the difference between the upper and lower limits of the hero-ranked is a puzzle that remains unsolved.

It is clear that Yun Que is performing at the level of "monster" in the hero-ranked category.

However, no matter how powerful the hero-ranked beings are, even those ancient species with lifespans spanning thousands of years, they are no match for the legend rank.

The [Field] of the legend rank belongs to the realm of gods, the eternal and timeless beginning.

The lifespan of a legend rank is unlimited. As long as there are intelligent creatures in the endless god's domains who remember the existence of this legend rank, they will not fade away.

Even the weakest legend rank cannot be killed by ranks below legend rank. The reason why legend ranks are known as the beginning of the eternal path is because of their immortal nature.

Even if a legend rank disappears for thousands or even millions of years, and their body has turned into fragments sealed in the abyss, never to see the light of day again, it does not mean they are truly dead.

The only ones who can kill a legend rank are other legend ranks, just like the Sky Swords who have achieved the "Godslayer" title. Their swords even make the gods tremble.

However, the death of a legend rank is not truly the end. Being "killed" is just a phenomenon. Their true form disappears within the endless god's domains, gradually even their names are forgotten by people.

If one day, the legacy left by the legendary rank or a hidden descendant of an unknown bloodline remembers him, then miracles will happen.

Perhaps not a complete resurrection, but as long as he is remembered, the legendary rank will return. This is the charm of legends and the ultimate realm pursued by all the wise creatures of the endless god's domains.

Most of the Sky Swords in the Sky Sword God's Domain have disappeared, but as long as the Sky Sword God's Domain still exists, their legends remain, and no one doubts whether they are alive or not.

The Sky Swords who have achieved the "God-Killing" achievement, even if they are far away from the Sky Sword God's Domain and enter unknown lands outside the endless god's domains, they are still proud of the Sky Sword God's Domain and are remembered forever in legends.

As long as the Sky Sword God's Domain exists, the Sky Swords will always be the legends at the highest point of the Sky Sword God's Domain, everlasting.

The endless god's domains, which have millions of God's Domains, can be traced back billions of years in history. But the recorded legend ranks have never exceeded three digits.

During several god wars, this number even dropped below three digits. Countless true names of gods disappeared from the endless god's domains and fell into a sleep that lasted for millions of years, never to awaken.

In the recent "Twilight of the Gods" war, more than a third of the ancient gods in the endless god's domains fell into a deep sleep at once, making it the most devastating twilight battle in the history of the endless god's domains.

Xia Ling chased after the footsteps of the Sky Sword and knew almost everything about the seventeen lives of the Sky Swords that were born in the endless god's domains.

As one of the strongest God's Domains in the East, second only to Kunlun God's Domain, the territory of the Sky Sword God's Domain is surprisingly small, but the number of Sky Swords born there has shocked the entire Eastern God's Domain.

Unlike Kunlun God's Domain, which is the only divine rank created by the East God's Domain, the resources for cultivation and the territory of the Sky Sword God's Domain are all just average compared to the endless god's domains.

The probability of producing a legend rank in the Sky Sword God's Domain is the highest among all the god's domains, except for Kunlun God's Domain. However, the reason for this remains unknown.

After reading all the records about the Sky Sword, Xia Ling discovered the only common point. All the Sky Swords are extraordinary individuals.

Those who become Sky Swords are usually people with interests and personalities that are incomprehensible to others. In other words, ordinary people cannot become Sky Swords just by working hard on their cultivation or possessing rare talents.

Casina the Battle God is like this.

Shaya Longnis is like this.

Yun Hai is also like this.

The Master of the Ghost Sword Domain and the Great Xia are the same.

Xia Ling, who had memorized all the records that the Sky Sword had found, chose to leave the comfortable palace of the Great Xia and even attempted to challenge the Battle God's Championship Contest. The reason for this was quite simple.

Only those who took an unusual path could become the Sky Sword.

At this moment, "Yun Que " in her eyes was also embarking on the same path. That's why she felt a sense of familiarity and gradually grew closer to her.

As for her brother, Xia Jie, he had the potential to become a great emperor, full of power and authority, but he could never become the Sky Sword.

She and him were destined to follow different paths in life.

"Cough..." Xia Jie coughed and opened his eyes, realizing that he had returned to the bonfire.

"Did I lose?" Recalling the endless sword lights he had seen in the sky, Xia Jie finally understood what had happened.

"Well, brother, you were impressive, but Yun Que was even more impressive."

"He walks a different path than you, but the same path as me," whispered Xia Ling, leaning against Xia Jie's back.

"That kid also wants to become the Sky Sword, just like you. Haha," Xia Jie's laughter started off mocking, then turned confused, and eventually fell silent. "This kid's words might actually have some truth to them."

"He's just a sissy, plain and simple!"

Xia Ling chuckled softly, noting that her brother was as stubborn as ever. However, it was this very mindset that qualified him to be recognized by the Black Flame Dragon Armor and become the crown prince of the Great Xia.

To be the ruler that the Great Xia dynasty needed, Xia Jie had to possess unrivaled authority from the moment he put on the Black Flame Dragon Armor – he had to become a king.
