As the Universe Turns - Chapter 571
Chapter 571 Sword Fiend Qi
Hua Weiyang thought for a moment and felt that his words made sense. He nodded and said, “Alright.”
The two of them found a place to rest outside and waited until dawn the next day before heading into the depths of the Sword Tomb.
After entering the Sword Tomb, the two of them immediately felt a surge of Sword Fiend Qi. However, the Sword Fiend Qi outside was relatively light. They only needed to condense Genuine energy to protect their bodies from erosion.
The deeper he walked, the heavier the Sword Fiend Qi became. After walking for about two hours, he looked into the distance and saw many huge stone swords standing there. However, these stone swords were now broken and crippled. It seemed that the coming years were already very long.
“These … are they all left behind from ancient times?”
Looking at the boundless stone sword forest, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but reveal a slight shock. Although these stone swords no longer had any light, he could imagine that in the ancient times, the might of these stone swords would be able to slay immortals and annihilate gods.
“No matter how glorious it used to be, there will be times when it will decline. The vast universe is boundless. After thousands of years, everything in front of us has already returned to dust.”
Looking at the stone sword forest that had lost its radiance, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel it. The world always thought that cultivating immortals would be able to live forever, but how could there be anything eternal in this world?
Hua Weiyang chuckled softly, “Yes, but the world is obsessed with it. In the end, it turns out that everything we are pursuing is just mirrors.”
As the two of them spoke, the Sword Fiend Qi in front of them was already very dense. If it weren’t for the fact that the two of them were extraordinary people, they probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on any longer. Even those with high cultivation would have felt suffocated and would have difficulty breathing even if they didn’t have any protection when they arrived here.
A layer of dense black gas could be seen after walking ten kilometers. The Sword Fiend Qi there was extremely heavy, so heavy that it formed a black mist. It was conceivable that if a mortal cultivator entered it, without the protection of the Sword Soul, they would be corroded to the point where not even their bones would be left by the Sword Fiend Qi in a short period of time.
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and looked at the endless black mist in front of him. He shook his hand and said, “We can’t go any further …”
Thinking back to when he had gone to Tomb of Gods and Demons, he wasn’t even afraid of the aura of the gods and devils in Tomb of Gods and Demons, but now, he was stopped by this thick layer of Sword Fiend Qi.
Unless it was the Three Flowers Gathering at the peak and they were not afraid of the countless evil spirits in the world, ordinary people would not be able to enter no matter how high their cultivation level was and without the protection of their sword souls.
“Looks like only by finding the Profound Heaven Sword Soul can we enter,” said Hua Weiyang.
Previously, the two of them had encountered quite a few ancient sword souls along the way, but they had not gone to search for the black Profound Heaven Sword Soul. Now, it seemed that they could only search for the Profound Heaven Sword Soul amongst the countless sword souls like everyone else.
Three days later, in the afternoon, the two of them had already arrived at another place. Black clouds surged and countless ancient sword souls gathered in the black clouds again. The fiendish sounds were endless, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
“Watch out!”
Suddenly, a dozen or so sword souls flew over. Xiao Chen flipped his palm, and the palm force whistled out, instantly shaking the dozen or so sword souls back.
At this moment, Hua Weiyang’s face was somewhat pale. Xiao Chen immediately flew over and supported her. “If you have used up too much spiritual energy and can’t find it, then forget it. There are too many sword souls here, and most of them are vicious. It’s not appropriate to stay here for long.”
Hua Weiyang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. It was true that searching for the black Profound Heaven Sword Soul among the countless sword souls consumed a lot of spiritual energy. However, if he didn’t find the Profound Heaven Sword Soul, how could he enter the Sword Tomb and obtain such a thing?
Just as the two of them were hesitating, the sword souls in the sky suddenly spread out to both sides, and a black sword shadow appeared in the middle as fast as it could.
“That’s …”
Hua Weiyang’s eyes narrowed, “Profound Heaven Sword Soul!”
The two of them had searched for a long time these past three days, but they were unable to find the Profound Heaven Sword Soul. They didn’t expect that at this moment, a Profound Heaven Sword Soul would actually take the initiative to come towards them. However, upon closer inspection, there seemed to be quite a few figures behind the Profound Heaven Sword Soul. It turned out that everyone was chasing after the Profound Heaven Sword Soul.
“There’s no place to find after stepping through the iron shoes. It doesn’t take much effort to get here … Extremely good!”
Hua Weiyang didn’t care how powerful those people behind him were. Since this Profound Heaven Sword Soul had arrived in front of him, it was impossible for him to let it go.
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the Flying Flower Lian You Umbrella. Around the umbrella, flying flowers could be seen. This umbrella was an extremely powerful magic treasure of the You Clan. If she had enough magic power, she could put anything into the umbrella. There was no need to be afraid of a Profound Heaven Sword Soul.
“Collect!”
Hua Weiyang formed a seal with both of his hands, and the word “take” quickly came out from his mouth. The Flying Flower Lian You Umbrella immediately spun endlessly, and then a red light shot out towards the Xuantian Sword Soul, instantly putting it into the umbrella.
“Idiot … hurry up and leave!”
After recalling the umbrella, Hua Weiyang did not hesitate. However, just as she was about to leave, the crowd behind immediately caught up to her. Just now, everyone saw it clearly. The Xuantian Sword Soul that they had chased for a long time was finally taken away by her with a magic treasure.
There are about a hundred people here. Their cultivation levels are not low. I wonder if anyone has recognized her and Xiao Chen. A white-bearded old man stepped forward and said, “Young lady, the sword soul you collected with your magic treasure just now was found only after we searched for it for a long time. I hope that you can return it to me.”
Hua Weiyang smiled faintly, “This sword soul does not have your names written on it. How can I return it? If it is your item, then why did this sword soul escape just now?”
“You …”
Hearing her words, many of the hundreds of people on the other side were enraged. They thought to themselves that the sword soul that we found with great difficulty was picked up by you here. Shouldn’t we return it?
A middle-aged man dressed in red walked out and looked at her. He said in a deep voice, “Little girl, this sect master saw that you were born with water spirits and water spirits. This extremely vicious place is not a place that a little girl like you should come to. Quickly return the sword soul and leave!”
Hua Weiyang smiled faintly without any intention of returning the sword soul. Finally, someone was impatient. A white-bearded old man wearing Zi Yi stood up and said coldly, “If you don’t hand over the sword soul, I’ll teach you how to corpse here today!”
“What are you talking about with her? Just snatch it over!”
A few more people stood up. It looked like they were about to snatch it. However, at this moment, a chill instantly struck everyone’s hearts. Only then did the hundreds of people notice that there was a cold man not far away.
“If you want to snatch it, you might as well give it a try …”
Xiao Chen’s voice was cold. As he spoke, three Blood Transformation Needles had already appeared in his hand. With his current cultivation, once the Blood Transformation Needles hit, unless he had a cultivation close to the Cave Ruins Realm, his chances of surviving would be slim.
