Burial Sword Tomb
A forbidden area within the forbidden area of the Celestial Court.
Passing through layers of sentries and checkpoints guarded by the Celestial Court's elite forces, and evading numerous formations with the help of Xie Chen's exquisite deductions, the five-person team, like ghosts in the night, silently infiltrated this legendary land of death.
The sight before them made even the most worldly-wise people feel a chill in their hearts.
Looking out, one sees a gray world composed of countless enormous tombs.
These tombs vary in shape; some resemble sharp swords piercing the sky, while others lie prostrate on the ground like giant beasts. Without exception, they all exude a chilling aura.
What's even more chilling is that countless broken weapons are suspended in the air above the tomb complex!
Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks—most of them were broken and incomplete, but the sword intent, saber intent, and spear intent they exuded...
Just being there makes my skin sting, as if countless tiny sharp points are constantly cutting me.
"The Ten Thousand Soldiers Annihilation Formation!" Xie Chen's voice was extremely low, and the light of the Star Evolution Compass in his hand was also reduced to the extreme, for fear of causing even the slightest resonance. "Too many powerful figures and divine weapons have fallen here. The remaining wills and laws have evolved on their own, forming this killing ground. One wrong step, and ten thousand soldiers will pierce your heart."
Ji Qianqiu tightened his grip on the giant axe, his Adam's apple bobbing, unusually silent, but his eyes grew even more vigilant. Ye Wuyang and Shen Yunzhou flanked Fang Li, their auras restrained, like two fully drawn bows, ready to unleash their power at any moment. Fang Li, meanwhile, quietly activated her Chaotic Dao Foundation, a layer of chaotic aura enveloping the five members of the team, concealing their vitality and aura to the greatest extent possible.
The system's voice was also cautious: [“Host!...The sword intent concentration is 999% above the limit! It is recommended to crawl on the ground... oops! It is recommended to follow Strategist Xie closely!”]
Fang Li thought to herself, "Crawling... System, do you think we're going to steal sweet potatoes?!" But she didn't dare to be careless in her actions and followed closely behind Xie Chen.
Just as they were cautiously advancing into the depths of the tomb along the path Xie Chen had calculated for the gate of life, a sharp and incomparable thought suddenly swept past from behind a hill made of countless giant swords!
"Buzz—!"
A phantom figure materialized. It wore ancient armor, wielded a lightsaber, its eyes flashed like lightning, and its aura had clearly reached the level of a Celestial Lord!
The sword spirit's empty gaze instantly locked onto the intruder, and he raised his lightsaber!
"Damn it! We've been discovered!" Xie Chen exclaimed.
"Leave it to me!" Ji Qianqiu roared without hesitation, and the bloodline of the God of War within him erupted! A scorching surge of blood energy shot into the sky. He deliberately exposed himself, swung his battle axe, and slashed out a powerful axe strike in the opposite direction from the team's advance!
"boom!"
The axe struck a massive tombstone with a deafening roar, instantly drawing the sword spirit's full attention!
Sword Spirit's empty gaze locked onto Ji Qianqiu, and with a flick of his lightsaber, he transformed into a streak of light and shot off!
"Go!" Taking advantage of the brief moment, Xie Chen's Star Compass flashed, deducing a new path to life. "Thirty steps to the left front, step into the Kun position, turn to the Li Palace!"
Ye Wuyang and Shen Yunzhou reacted with lightning speed! The two didn't even need to exchange words; their figures moved simultaneously!
As Ye Wuyang drew his Ice Glass Sword, a chilling aura spread silently, freezing and clearing a brief, safe path for the scattered sword intent that had stirred due to Ji Qianqiu's movements. Shen Yunzhou followed closely, the tip of his Frost Chant Sword tracing an intricate trajectory, precisely striking several points of sword intent about to trigger a chain reaction, the Annihilation Sword Intent quietly extinguishing the potential dangers.
Fang Li immediately increased the output of the Chaos Domain, assimilating all the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations.
After an unknown amount of time, when the five finally arrived at a relatively open area with bronze coffins, Fang Li's body suddenly trembled!
"Over there!" Fang Li pointed to the very center of the mausoleum complex. There stood a bronze coffin, ancient and simple, covered with ancient divine scripts that had long been lost, exuding a majestic aura that suppressed all heavens.
"The core of the stele... the core of the Heaven-Sealing Stele is right beneath that coffin!" Fang Li's voice was filled with excitement and urgency.
However, just as Fang Li sensed the existence of the core of the monument!
"Buzz—!!!"
A sword's cry suddenly erupted from the depths of the giant bronze coffin! It instantly resounded throughout the entire Burial Sword Tomb.
The entire Burial Sword Tomb began to tremble violently! Countless floating remnants of soldiers let out mournful cries, as if they were paying homage to their king!
That already oppressive atmosphere suddenly surged! It pressed down on everyone's hearts!
Suddenly, a divine decree resounded in everyone's consciousness:
"Chaos...thief of the Dao...shall be judged by Heaven!"
The Heavenly Judgment Sword... has awakened!
A terrifying pressure descended upon them!
Apart from Fang Li, who barely managed to hold on thanks to her Chaos Dao Foundation, the other four all turned pale, their blood surging, and they almost knelt down.
Ahead lay the supreme divine might of the awakened Heavenly Judgment Sword, and behind came the auras of Celestial Court experts who had been alerted and were swarming in from all directions!
The five of them were suddenly plunged into an unprecedented predicament! Cold sweat trickled down their foreheads.
It was at this desperate moment.
"Awooo—!!!"
Without warning, the void beside Fang Li was torn apart by a brute force! A chaotic vortex appeared out of thin air! Immediately afterward, Xiao Tun's gray-black shadow leaped out of the vortex!
At this moment, it was a whole size larger than before. Although it still had a somewhat ugly-cute look, the chaotic horn on its head had become crystal clear, wrapped with wisps of chaotic lightning. The aura emanating from its body had clearly reached the peak of the True Immortal realm! Its round eyes were now filled with vigilance and anger, staring intently at the direction of the bronze giant coffin.
It stepped in front of Fang Li, baring its teeth and letting out a low roar at the giant coffin that exuded terrifying pressure: "Awooo—!"
(Translation: Don't touch my master!)
The overwhelming pressure emanating from the fully awakened Heavenly Judgment Sword contained a killing intent aimed at all "chaos" and "disorder"!
The first to be affected was Fang Li, who possessed the Chaos Dao Foundation!
"Protect my junior sister!" Ji Qianqiu's eyes were bloodshot with rage!
Ye Wuyang's long hair danced wildly, his eyes burning with icy blue spiritual light. He had actually burned his own ice-elemental essence! He transformed himself into a sword, summoning the Eternal Frost Abyss. A gigantic ice coffin phantom, stretching across the heavens and earth, appeared out of thin air, fiercely meeting the destructive sword light, attempting to freeze its sword momentum.
Almost at the same instant, Shen Yunzhou became one with his sword. The Frost Chant Sword emitted a mournful cry, and his sword light went back up, pointing directly at the connection between the Judgment Sword and the mysterious origin of the Heavenly Dao!
Ji Qianqiu let out a deafening roar, his blood and qi exploding and burning, as if magma was flowing beneath his bronze skin! He gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands, swinging it into a ten-thousand-foot-long shadow that tore through the void, and forcefully cleaved towards the side of the annihilating sword light!
The Star Compass in Xie Chen's hand erupted with dazzling starlight, and the star trails on the surface of the compass burned and shattered wildly! "Zhou Tian Star Reversal Fate Array!" He spat out a mouthful of his life essence blood, sacrificing the complete collapse of the compass to forcibly distort the trajectory of fate in a small area around the team, attempting to cause the sure-hit Judgment Sword Light to deflect by an extremely slight degree!
