Chapter 897: Sacrificing oneself into the Sword Grave
Chapter 890 – Sacrificing oneself into the Sword Mound
On the desolate and withered land, as if it was a tumor, many small earth packs bulged up.
From a long distance away, one could smell the corrupt, foul odor from it.
There were some earth packs that were dug up by good people.
Inside there was nothing but some black rotting thick juice.
It was rumored that the officials of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had also sent specialists here to explore the area.
After the investigation was fruitless, they eradicated the entire area, which seemed to be an abscess of the earth.
Who knew that after just less than half a year of pacification, this continuous small earth pustule had reappeared.
So the Immortal Alliance once again sent people to deal with it.
And so on and so forth, but these pustules always persisted.
In the end, we have to settle for nothing, and recognize them as similar to the “weird” general existence.
However, Li Fan knew that the reason for the abnormality in this area was not weird at all.
Rather, it was the residual thoughts attached to the countless swords that had been twisted and corrupted over thousands of years.
“I can’t blame the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for being perfunctory.”
“Even if an ordinary Harmonized Dao were to arrive in person, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be able to detect the abnormality here at all if they weren’t well-versed in the Dao of the [Sword].”
Li Fan thought so and operated the Reverse Five Elements Birth and Death Sword.
In his field of vision, the scene ahead abruptly changed.
Countless black shadows floated out from those bulging pustules.
Like ghosts, their eyes emitted a crimson glow as they stared dead on at Li Fan.
From the surrounding area, murmurs of unknown significance were constantly coming out, which seemed to be screams and curses filled with resentment.
The murmurs seemed to penetrate the eardrums and reach Li Fan’s mind.
Even if the hearing was closed, or even the divine sense was cut off, it could not be stopped.
Li Fan frowned slightly, knowing that this was a necessary step in order to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Graveyard, so he had to maintain his mind and persevere under the assault of the strange and ear-piercing voice.
Those red-eyed black shadows, seeing Li Fan’s indifference, were furious.
Turning into a black line, they violently pounced towards Li Fan.
Getting closer, the black shadows’ appearance became clear.
Some of them looked like corpses that had not died long ago and were rotting, with festering flesh and foul-smelling maggots.
Some of them looked like they were being roasted by fire and their bodies were dissolving in a horrible manner.
There were also blurred flesh and blood that had been cut into countless pieces.
……
What they all had in common was that these corpses were all in the likeness of Li Fan!
And the moment he saw them, ten thousand ways to die for himself popped up in Li Fan’s mind with them!
Not just fantasies, but more like extremely real visions after swallowing the Yima.
Even his own body could feel the corresponding pain sensation.
“A small trick.”
“Don’t say that I have the Immortal Heart Mantra to protect my body, so all laws don’t have to invade. Even if I am inadvertently struck, with the new method YuanYing realm and above will always be able to constantly regenerate the body’s means ……”
“Not a bad trick, but unfortunately it’s already outdated.”
Li Fan thought so and allowed these black shadows to devour him.
And then the Five Elements Cave Sky roared slightly, and in the blink of an eye another body reappeared.
Many more black shadows emerged from the earth bag, screaming and flying towards Li Fan.
In this way, Li Fan kept on recreating his body, finally staining all the black shadows in the nearly ten thousand grave bags that stretched out here.
Every time he was eroded by a black shadow, Li Fan felt his body slightly “sink” a little.
Not sinking into the ground, but sinking into another space.
These black shadows were like water ghosts, pulling Li Fan into the world they lived in. After sinking completely, the image in front of him changed, and Li Fan finally truly entered the Sword Mound.
It was no different from what Shuo Feng had described, with thousands of broken swords sticking diagonally above the earth.
All of them were slightly bent towards the center, as if they were saluting towards their emperor.
The arrival of Li Fan, an outsider, did not even cause any reaction from them either.
Looking closely at these swords that seemed to be rotting and decaying, Li Fan realized that instead of saying that they were becoming decayed.
It would be better to say that ……
They were becoming more and more pure under the baptism of the Central Heavenly Wonder [Sword].
There was no longer a need to be bound by form, and like the [Sword], they tended to be conceptualized and energized.
“Those black shadows above are the killing intent, obsession, and lust of those slaughtered by the swords that stained these thousands of swords.”
“In the world of pure swords here, they gradually have no place to stand, and are slowly excluded.”
Li Fan operated the Reverse Five Elements Birth and Death Sword, disguised as a sword. Without moving a muscle, he observed the left and right.
“If there is no disturbance from the outside world, under the subtle influence of the [Sword], all the thousands of swords in this Sword Mound might really be able to shed their forms and become conceptual existences.”
Li Fan’s eyes showed a strange color.
“What’s this, one man gets a chicken and a dog?”
“Worthy of being an existence enlightened by Mr. Bai.”
Thinking so, Li Fan finally took the first step towards the front.
A moment later, a slight color change occurred.
Because in that instant, the thousands of swords that were around him sent sword intent in unison.
It seemed to be dissatisfied with his “queue-jumping” behavior.
In Li Fan’s senses, these corrupted swords finally revealed their true colors.
There is a sword body red, like red flame; there is a sword gas dense, such as the sky green and blue; there is a sword body black, but it is difficult to heavy bloody breath; there is a sword such as golden light, surrounded by thunder winding, such as brilliant heavenly might ……
Although it was only the outermost sword of the Sword Mound, after thousands of years of refinement of the [Sword] True Intent, it was already outside the range of mortal objects.
Each and every one of them could be considered a top quality human wonder!
Li Fan let out a cold snort, and the Reverse Five Elements Birth and Destruction Sword Intent burst out vigorously.
With countless sword intent added to his body, he took it a step further.
This time, the offending swords were even more numerous.
Countless sword marks and blood dripped from Li Fan’s body all of a sudden.
Even the divine soul seemed to be chopped and vaguely pained by the sword Qi.
“Can’t fight back, can only suffer in silence.”
“Otherwise it will be viewed as hostile by all the swords in the Sword Mound and attacked by the group.”
“Even that wooden sword in the center will strike.”
Li Fan felt something in his heart and temporarily canceled the Soul Burning state.
Fully operating the [Infinite Surplus Method], he took a big step forward.
For a moment, he had truly tasted what it meant to have ten thousand swords added to his body.
His body had long been riddled with holes, and even with the constant rebirth supported by the power of the Five Elements Cave Heaven, he could only barely maintain his human form.
Although the divine soul healed quickly after suffering a heavy blow, that extreme pain was something that could not be avoided in any way.
“It’s still Shuo Feng who is comfortable.”
“He didn’t even have to care about the attack of the ten thousand swords, and with only the golden armor bestowed upon him by his mother, he walked to the very center of the Sword Graveyard as if he were walking casually.”
Li Fan, in pain, recalled Shuo Feng’s description and could not help but sigh.
Although he couldn’t help but whine, in reality, the combined power of the ten thousand swords of this Sword Graveyard didn’t stop Li Fan in the slightest.
In just a small half day’s effort, Li Fan steadily walked to the very center of the Sword Mound.
