In this narrow sky, it seems to be a remnant of some ancient battlefield, emitting a chilling aura. On the stone wall, there are actually clusters of grass growing in the shape of swords.
Qin Chen gently touched the sword grass, and immediately a sharp sword intent shot out, the sound of "pu" echoed as the sword intent shot into the sky. The sword intent bursting forth from the grass nearly pierced the void, causing ripples to rise in the air.
"What a powerful sword intent."
You Qianxue gasped, the sword intent erupted from the sword grass was comparable to an attack from a late-stage Saint Master.
But this is just grass growing on the stone wall?
"Chen, this sword grass is a bit strange," You Qianxue said, as her palm touched the stone wall.
"Be careful."
Qin Chen quickly called out, but it was too late. Suddenly, a terrifying sword intent surged from the stone wall. "Pu!" You Qianxue let out a muffled groan, as if struck by an invisible sword intent, blood instantly flowed from the corner of her mouth as she staggered back a few steps.
Suddenly, streams of Nine Extremities Water surrounded her, clearing away the sword intent.
You Qianxue's eyes were filled with horror. The stone wall contained an extremely terrifying sword intent that nearly injured her severely. If she wasn't a genius in the sword path and had just recently broken through to the late-stage Saint Master realm, she would have been seriously injured.
"This stone wall is strange!"
Qin Chen touched the stone wall, and a buzzing sound reverberated. Within him, a terrifying sword intent surged. This stone wall contained an ancient sword energy, continuously transmitting from within, preserved after billions of years.
Qin Chen was secretly astonished. Such powerful sword intent! Although it had become quite weak over countless years, if one were to carefully appreciate it, they would sense the terror of this sword intent.
Qin Chen raised his head, suddenly having a guess. The scene of this narrow sky was very familiar; could it be that a certain powerful being once cleaved this mountain with a single sword?
"Hiss!" Qin Chen gasped. If that were the case, it would explain the terrifying sword intent contained within the stone wall. An ancient powerful being, with a single stroke, left a mark of sword energy on this stone wall, persisting for billions of years.
What kind of powerful being could achieve that?
A Venerable, at least a Venerable level! Qin Chen and the others carefully comprehended the sword intent on the stone wall, and Qin Chen gained some insight. Unfortunately, the sword intent within the stone wall had already dissipated significantly; otherwise, it would have brought him considerable understanding.
Next, Qin Chen and the others continued onward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! After walking for about seven or eight miles, suddenly, a dozen streams of demonic light rushed towards Qin Chen and the others.
"Empty Thunder Sword Domain!"
Qin Chen remained calm under pressure, releasing the Empty Thunder Sword Domain, infused with powerful spatial forces. The immense sword pressure and spatial binding reduced the speed of these demonic lights significantly.
Drawing out the green demon sword, Qin Chen struck one by one, the powerful sword energy tore through the demonic light. The sword intent of Eternity and Destruction prevented the torn demonic lights from gathering again, yet these shadows still struggled and faintly began to coalesce once more.
Due to enduring the sword intent's tempering in these mountains for many years, these demonic shadows had developed a certain immunity to Qin Chen's sword intent.
"Jie Jie!"
The real threat emerged. A black vortex of energy gathered a few miles ahead, forming three demonic shadow kings. These demonic shadow kings were massive, their bodies swarming with demonic energy, their fingers long and slender, resembling eagle claws, incredibly sharp.
What shocked Qin Chen even more was that vague traces of sword intent were diffusing from their bodies.
