Just then, the broken knife on the ground suddenly began to hum, arousing Lan Hua's curiosity and alertness.
The sudden occurrence of strange phenomena is definitely not a good thing.
Moreover, such strange phenomena are either signs of the emergence of divine weapons or harbingers of powerful figures taking action.
But this time, Lan Hua guessed wrong.
Suddenly, the broken swords on the ground shone brightly, then emitted countless sword energies.
Unsurprisingly, all those blades of energy slashed towards Lan Hua.
"Depend on!"
Lan Hua scoffed, "How can these broken swords still emit sword energy?"
Puzzled, Lan Hua summoned a "trapping" character to block the blade's energy.
There were too many broken knives on the ground, and they were scattered all over the place. Even if Lan Hua used the Invisible Arrow, she couldn't deal with them and could only defend passively.
Fortunately, the power of the blade's energy wasn't particularly great, and Lan Hua's trapping talisman was much stronger than the defensive talisman, which is why there was no real danger.
However, the blade's energy showed no sign of stopping; no matter how powerful the Binding Character was, it would eventually shatter.
"Troublesome, retreat!"
Lan Hua thought to herself and flew off into the distance.
Now he understood why the group of people had gone around them earlier; they were afraid of these broken knives.
After wandering around for a long time, Lan Hua finally got away from those broken swords, and the sword energy that had been chasing him also stopped.
Lan Hua breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this place was similar to the eighth trial ground.
After flying for a while, Lan Hua finally saw several celestial beings meditating cross-legged.
After making some inquiries, Lan Hua learned that this place was the third trial ground, built by the Sword Realm.
However, after making inquiries, everyone said they had never seen a Fusion Stone, let alone knew about the Light of Fusion Stone.
"It seems the Fusion Stone isn't in Trial Ground 3 either. Staying here is pointless. Let's continue and move on to the next one!"
One of the people saw Lan Hua talking to himself and asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, I see you have just entered the third trial ground, right?"
What kind of rabid and insolent words did you just utter?
"The sword energy here is extremely powerful. Even some Daoist brothers who have been ascended for over a thousand years have failed to break through here, let alone a newcomer like you. You should stay in the edge area!"
Lan Hua did not refute, but asked, "Where is the exit?"
The man pointed in a direction, "That's it, but there are broken knives everywhere along the way. The closer you get to the exit, the more broken knives there will be, and the greater the power you'll have to withstand!"
"Why are there so many broken knives here?" Lan Hua asked curiously.
"Naturally, it is accumulated over time. Many Celestials are independent sword practitioners who cannot join the sword world."
Upon entering this trial grounds, the swords will inexplicably become uncontrollable, sometimes even resulting in the two swords turning against each other, which is why you see these broken swords.
The increase in broken blades, however, has become a threat, because for some unknown reason, they can emit blade energy, greatly increasing the difficulty of the trial!
Lan Hua nodded, "Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist!"
Seeing him turn to leave, one person, unable to bear seeing Lan Hua get hurt, tried to stop him, saying, "Brother Dao, have you thought it through?"
Lan Hua didn't even turn her head. "Of course!"
Just as the man had said, the closer they flew to the exit, the more broken knives they found on the ground.
Wherever Lan Hua went, the broken sword would emit a blade aura, but Lan Hua blocked it with the trapping character.
Halfway there, the number of broken blades was unimaginable, and the trapped character could no longer hold on.
"Hmph, since you're playing with knives, then I'll play with knives with you too!"
Although Lan Hua has no sword, she has learned the Heaven-Opening Palm technique.
Although the Heaven-Opening Palm is a palm technique, it is essentially a sword technique.
Lan Hua raised her right arm high, gathering immense Yuan Power and spiritual energy at the edge of her palm, and unleashed the first move of the Heaven-Opening Palm, Severing the River.
With a vertical palm strike, a blade of energy hundreds of feet long was unleashed, deflecting the incoming blade of energy and leaving a deep trench in the ground.
Wherever the blade's energy reached, broken blades flew everywhere, and Lan Hua actually cleared a path for them.
His palms didn't stop, and he unleashed wave after wave of sword energy, slashing away all the broken swords in front of him and greatly reducing the pressure on him.
However, after traveling only a few dozen miles, the Heaven-Opening Palm technique was no longer effective.
The blade energy emitted by those broken blades had greatly increased in power and their numbers had increased, thus blocking Lan Hua's path.
"How could I have forgotten about the Fire Phoenix Sword!"
With a thought, Lan Hua summoned the Fire Phoenix Sword in her hand.
Gripping the Fire Phoenix Sword tightly, Lan Hua felt her strength increase greatly. She then concentrated her Heavenly Yuan Power into the sword and used it as a blade to slash wildly.
Although Lan Hua had never learned swordsmanship, the Fire Phoenix Sword, as a celestial sword, was virtually indestructible.
With the added power of Lan Hua Yuan, each swing of the sword unleashed terrifying sword energy, shattering the incoming blade energy.
"As expected of a celestial weapon, with such a celestial sword, what is there to fear in passing this trial!"
Lan Hua hacked her way through the enemy lines, covering 400 kilometers before finally spotting the exit in the distance.
Near the exit, three more long swords were stuck in the ground, and three beams of light fell on the hilts of the swords.
Lan Hua sensed a surge of sword intent, continuously flowing from the hilt to the tip of the blade.
"So that's how it is. The sword intent entered the ground from the three immortal artifacts, thereby controlling the broken swords in the third trial site and making them aggressive!"
"Hmph, the Sword Realm certainly has a grand scheme to make!"
Lan Hua unleashed her Yuan Power once more, wielding the Fire Phoenix Sword to clear a path forward.
However, when she reached a distance of two hundred feet from the three longswords, Lan Hua could no longer advance. Even with the help of the Fire Phoenix Sword, she could only protect herself.
"What powerful sword intent! Within two hundred feet, three longswords are invincible!"
At this point, Lan Hua no longer held back and summoned the Qiankun Bowl.
Once the Qiankun Bowl was unleashed, the blade energy could no longer harm Lan Hua in the slightest, and the latter continued walking towards the three long blades.
Since a celestial artifact is offered as a gift, how could Lan Hua possibly refuse it?
However, although the Qiankun Bowl was powerful, the blade energy emitted by the three immortal artifacts was not only extraordinary in power, but also extremely strong. When Lan Hua reached a hundred feet, it was already extremely difficult to move forward.
Lan Hua assessed the situation with a solemn expression, considering whether to abandon the immortal artifact or leave directly through the exit.
The exit was very close to Lan Hua; she could leave in a flash.
"Hmph, I'm truly unwilling to give up without taking the immortal artifact!"
Lan Hua closed her eyes slightly, and a huge surge of Yuan energy erupted. Then, she raised her arms high, and the Fire Phoenix Sword soared into the sky.
A surge of immense Yuan energy flowed into the Fire Phoenix Sword, and a terrifying blade aura took shape—the second move of the Heaven-Opening Palm, Earth-Splitting Strike.
As soon as the second move was executed, the nearby broken swords began to shake and made a buzzing sound.
Lan Hua was unaware that her move contained the intent of a sword.
The broken blade sensed the intent of the blade, hence the humming sound it emitted.
"Chop it up..."
With a sudden swing of his arms, a hundred-foot-long blade of energy cleaved towards the three immortal artifacts.
Sensing the approaching danger, the three longswords unleashed a combined blade aura, which met the second move of the Heaven-Opening Palm.
boom!
The two blades of energy collided, generating a devastating force that sent Lan Hua flying back a hundred feet.
However, the three longswords were also shaken, and one of them was sent flying.
"A great opportunity!"
Lan Hua summoned a suction character, and a tremendous force acted on the flying immortal artifact, pulling it towards Lan Hua.
The moment the longsword was in hand, Lan Hua's demeanor changed once again.
"A fine knife!"
"If I don't have a magic sword or a magic blade, then I'll have someone else make them for me!"
