This area marks the beginning of the forbidden ground, where ordinary people dare not enter, known as the entrance to the Sword Tomb.
"This is... the aura of death within the Sword Tomb, but why does life energy appear?"
Qin Chen understands the death aura in the Sword Tomb; it originates from the ancient battlefield of humans and demons. After the great battle, the destruction of laws resulted in a dead space, desolate and uninhabited, which is understandable since it is a forbidden area.
However, why is there a scene where the rules of life and death keep changing? This transformation is something even he, who has mastered the death laws, cannot comprehend for a moment; it is very natural, much like the will of heaven.
It seems to contain the cycle of life and death; life is not the beginning, and death is not the end; life and death are merely a cycle.
Qin Chen had long received some information regarding the Sword Tomb from the ancient Dao Sect's Master Feng Tianzhen, and he is aware of the situation here. "The outskirts of the Sword Tomb are still relatively safe; Saint Masters can explore a bit. However, once you reach the central area, even later-stage Saint Masters cannot enter and will perish. As for the most core area, even the ancestors of top families in the Southern Heaven Realm, who are Venerables, have never thoroughly delved into it, unaware of what lies within."
Qin Chen pondered silently.
"I am not afraid of the chaotic sword intent within the Sword Tomb. The demonic energy's erosion is nothing to me. As long as it is not too outrageous, it should not affect us. The only trouble comes from those killing shadows transformed from the remnants of souls; we cannot let our guard down." These shadows are formed from the remnants of ancient, deceased demon experts. These remnants possess no will, only a killing instinct, and they change shape endlessly, lacking a specific form. When fighting against humans, they can find weaknesses and invade the body with demonic light; even if you possess great abilities, you can only die in regret.
"You two follow me closely and be careful."
With a flicker of his figure, Qin Chen transformed into a streak of sword light and dashed into the Sword Tomb. Inside the Sword Tomb lies a vast universe; at a glance, it is boundless. Outside, it is pouring rain, yet inside, there is not a hint of movement. The sky is a deep red, and the ground is covered in black gas, which fluctuates like an ever-churning black sea, glowing with a bloody light.
"What a strong rule."
As soon as Qin Chen entered the Sword Tomb, he immediately felt a heaviness in his body, sinking tens of meters, with the pressure around him being a hundred times that of the outside world. The gravity is also a hundred times stronger than outside.
As for his soul power, it can only extend a hundred miles.
It should be known that Qin Chen's soul power is comparable to a half-step Venerable, yet he was still strongly suppressed.
"Young Master, the pressure in this Sword Tomb is immense," said Qingqiu Ziyi, frowning. Her cultivation had recovered quite a bit since Qin Chen's breakthrough, and she vaguely exuded an aura of a Venerable.
This indicated that she was beginning to recover her half-step Venerable cultivation.
"Qianxue, can you still hold on?" Qin Chen glanced at You Qianxue.
A swirl of chaotic sword intent approached, and combined with this pressure, Qin Chen feared that You Qianxue would not be able to withstand it.
"Chen, are you underestimating me? I am also a genius in the sword way. Back then, in the territory of the Five Nations, I did not fall short of you in the inheritance of the Northern Heaven Region's Demon Sword Sect. How could this little sword intent possibly affect my will?" You Qianxue smiled lightly, elegantly and calmly.
She emanated a noble aura; after surpassing the late-stage Saint Master, she blended with the heavenly laws, gaining deeper insights into the inheritance of the Taiyin Liuli Supreme, her aura becoming increasingly transcendent.
