Chapter 890: Sacrificing Oneself to Enter the Sword Tomb
On the desolate and barren land, many small mounds of earth rose up like tumors.
Even from a long distance away, you can smell the corruption and stench.
Some mounds of earth were dug up by curious people.
There was nothing inside except some black, rotten juice.
It is said that the official of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also sent someone to investigate here.
After the investigation yielded no results, the entire area, which looked like an abscess in the earth, was eradicated.
Who would have thought that after less than half a year, these small mounds of earth appeared again.
So the Immortal Alliance sent people to deal with it again.
This happened three times, but the pustules still persisted.
In the end, nothing was done about it and it was considered to be a "weird" existence.
However, Li Fan knew that the reason why this area was so abnormal was not weird at all.
Rather, it is the residual thoughts attached to countless swords, which have been distorted and corrupted after thousands of years.
"You can't blame the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for being perfunctory."
“Even if an ordinary Hedao came here in person, if he is not very proficient in the way of the sword, he probably won’t be able to detect the abnormality here at all.”
Thinking of this, Li Fan started to activate the Five Elements Life and Death Sword.
In his field of vision, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
Countless dark shadows floated out from those raised pustules.
Like a ghost, his eyes emitted red light and stared at Li Fan intently.
There were also meaningless murmurs coming from all around, which sounded like screams or curses full of resentment.
The whisper seemed to penetrate the eardrums and reach Li Fan's mind.
Even if you shut off your hearing or even cut off your spiritual consciousness, you can't stop it.
Li Fan frowned slightly, knowing that this was a necessary step to enter the Tianjian Sect's Sword Tomb. He had no choice but to keep his composure and persist under the attack of this strange and harsh sound.
Those red-eyed black shadows became furious when they saw that Li Fan remained indifferent.
It turned into black lines and pounced towards Li Fan.
As we got closer, the shape of the shadow became clearer.
Some looked like corpses that had died recently and were currently rotting, with festering flesh, a foul odor, and maggots.
Some of them looked horrible, as if they were being burned by fire and their bodies were dissolving.
Others were blurry pieces of flesh that had been cut into countless pieces.
…
What they have in common is that these corpses all look like Li Fan!
The moment he saw them, ten thousand ways of his own death popped up in Li Fan's mind!
It is not just a fantasy, but more like a very real illusion after taking the drug.
Even your own body can feel the corresponding pain.
"A little trick."
"Don't mention that I have the Immortal Heart Mantra to protect me, so I don't need to be attacked by any magic. Even if I get attacked accidentally, I can use the new method to continuously regenerate my body at the Nascent Soul stage and above..."
"Nice move, but unfortunately it's outdated."
Li Fan thought so and let these black shadows devour him.
Then the Five Elements Cave Heaven rumbled slightly, and in the blink of an eye another body reappeared.
Many dark shadows emerged from the mound and flew towards Li Fan screaming.
In this way, Li Fan kept rebuilding his body, and finally he was contaminated by all the dark shadows among the nearly ten thousand graves here.
Every time a dark shadow invaded him, Li Fan felt his body "sinking" slightly.
It is not sinking into the ground, but sinking into another space.
These dark shadows, like water ghosts, pulled Li Fan into the world they lived in.
When it completely sank, the scene in front of him changed, and Li Fan finally entered the sword tomb.
It was no different from what Shuo Feng had described, with thousands of broken swords sticking diagonally across the ground.
They all bent slightly towards the center, as if they were saluting their emperor.
The arrival of Li Fan, an outsider, did not cause any reaction from them.
Looking closely at these seemingly rotten swords, Li Fan discovered that they were not actually decaying.
Rather...
Under the baptism of the strange [Sword] of the Central Sky, they became more and more pure.
No longer constrained by form, it tends to be conceptual and energetic, just like the sword.
"Those dark shadows above are the murderous intent and obsession stained on these thousands of swords, as well as the desires of those slaughtered by the swords."
"In this world of pure swords, they gradually have no place to stand and are slowly being eliminated."
Li Fan activated the Reverse Five Elements Life and Death Sword, disguising himself as a sword. He stood still and observed his left and right.
"If there is no interference from the outside world, under the subtle influence of the sword, the thousands of swords in this sword tomb may really be able to shed their forms and become conceptual existences."
Li Fan's eyes revealed a strange color.
"What's this? One person's success brings prosperity to the whole family?"
"As expected of someone who was enlightened by Mr. Bai."
Thinking so, Li Fan finally took the first step forward.
After a moment, there was a slight change of color.
Because at that moment, thousands of swords around him all sent out sword intent.
She seemed dissatisfied with his "queue-cutting" behavior.
In Li Fan's perception, these swords with rotten appearance finally revealed their shining true colors.
Some swords were fiery red, like red flames; some swords were dense and aura-like, like the blue sky; some swords were pitch black, but without the strong smell of blood; some swords were like golden light, surrounded by thunder, like the might of heaven...
Although it is only the sword on the outermost edge of the sword tomb, it has been tempered by the true meaning of the sword for thousands of years and is no longer an ordinary object.
Each of them can be considered a top-quality wonder!
Li Fan snorted coldly, and the sword intent that went against the five elements of life and death burst out violently.
With countless sword intentions added to his body, he took another step forward.
This time, more swords were offended.
Countless sword marks and blood suddenly appeared on Li Fan's body.
Even his soul seemed to be chopped by the sword energy and was in dull pain.
"I can't fight back, I can only endure it silently."
"Otherwise, all the swords in the sword tomb will regard you as hostile and attack you collectively."
"Even the wooden sword in the center will take action."
Li Fan felt something in his heart and temporarily cancelled the soul burning state.
Use all your strength to activate the [Wuji Yingxu Method] and take great strides forward.
For a moment, he really felt what it meant to be struck by thousands of swords.
His body was already riddled with holes, and even if he was constantly reborn with the support of the power of the Five Elements Cave Heaven, he could only barely maintain his human form.
Although the soul healed quickly after suffering a severe blow, the extreme pain was unavoidable.
"Shuo Feng is still more comfortable."
"He didn't even have to worry about the attack from the ten thousand swords. He just relied on the golden armor given to him by his mother and walked to the center of the sword tomb as if he was strolling in the garden."
Li Fan was in pain, recalling Shuo Feng's description and couldn't help but sigh.
Although he couldn't help but complain, in fact, the combined power of the thousands of swords in the sword tomb could not stop Li Fan at all.
But in less than half a day, Li Fan walked steadily to the center of the sword tomb.
