Chapter 163: Bronze Sword Tomb, Tens of Thousands of Sword Formations?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On Su Yi’s side, after he entered the teleportation portal, a gentle force sent him to a secret realm.
In the secret realm, it was a flat land. The white fog gradually blocked his vision, and he could only see dozens of meters away.
The grass on the flat land was lush, and there seemed to be water droplets on it. It was as full of vitality as the grass that had just passed the dawn and welcomed the rising sun.
However, the secret realm was indeed filled with a deathly stillness. There was no breeze blowing, and there was no sound of insects. There were strange mounds in the quiet space.
These mounds were filled with all kinds of bronze swords. These bronze swords looked tattered, but they were still intact. They even reflected a faint cold light.
At this moment, the space fluctuated, and Su Yi’s figure appeared in the air. Clearly, he had been teleported here.
Just as he landed, a notification popped up on his interface.
[Notification: You have entered the mystic realm, ancient sword tomb.]
He swept his gaze around and saw the bronze swords protruding from the mound. He muttered to himself.
“This is the ancient sword tomb? Why is this so shabby?”
There was a slight disappointment in his eyes. In his impression, the so-called sword tomb was like a sword mountain.
Then, he looked at the mound of soil that looked like a grave, which was filled with long swords. No matter how he looked at it, it was very strange.
After confirming the surrounding environment, he opened the mission panel of the immortal sect.
When he entered the ancient sword tomb, the notification on the mission panel changed.
[Mission to explore the ancient sword tomb: Break through the fog sword formation and enter the ancient sword’s resting place. Current mission progress (2/3)]
“Fog sword formation…”
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. In his eyes, the fog was definitely white fog.
However, this sword formation, could it be…
Just as he placed his gaze on the mound of bronze swords, the surrounding fog seemed to gather over.
The fog gradually thickened, and his vision gradually lost. Soon, his vision narrowed to only a dozen meters away. At a glance, he could only see a pile of soil with a bronze sword stuck in it.
He walked with vigilant eyes. His true essence had already started to circulate quietly when something happened. If something went wrong, he could dodge immediately.
After losing his field of vision, the sound of metal interweaving sounded in this area. Just hearing the sound made people’s scalps go numb.
This was not just a few sword chimes. At least in Su Yi’s ears, in just a moment, he heard no less than a hundred sword chimes.
He turned his gaze to the nearest bronze sword tomb and found that the sword on it had already disappeared.
Immediately, the alarm bell in his heart rang loudly, and his body tensed up. In his imagination, there were many forms of sword formation.
However, now, he might have encountered one of the most terrifying ones.
Clang clang clang–
He saw a bronze torrent with the sound of interweaving metal. Suddenly, his scalp felt like it was going to explode. All of the disappearing bronze swords formed a sword stream, and it was aimed at him.
He was already prepared for this. He moved his body and stomped his feet. His true essence exploded, and his speed instantly increased to the limit.
A dent appeared on the grass under his feet. Just as he left the spot, dozens of longswords from the bronze sword stream stabbed into that spot.
Seeing this, Su Yi’s scalp went numb. This was for real.
He was not afraid of a longsword attack like this, but what if there were hundreds, or even thousands?
Besides the first attack, the surrounding area was already filled with sword hums.
The first sword attack did not seem to be finished either. One by one, the long swords pierced through the air towards where he was, and none of this was controlled by anyone. This was the power of the formation.
In the inheritance of the formation, there were a total of killing formations, trapping formations. There were also trapping and killing formations.
What Su Yi was experiencing now was the trapping and killing formation.
This kind of formation will cause the cultivators who were trapped in the formation to lose their direction, and they would also be constantly attacked from afar.
There were only two ways to break out of this kind of formation.
First, forcefully breaking out of the formation was to use absolute power to destroy the entire formation’s arrangement.
Second, to break out of the formation’s eye, causing the formation to collapse on its own.
After the formation was set up, there would usually be a powerful force present. It was extremely difficult to break out of the formation in with the first method.
This could only be achieved by surpassing the strength of the formation.
In comparison, the second method of breaking the formation was much better. Regardless of whether it was a person or an object, they all had their own weaknesses.
This formation naturally had its weaknesses. The formation was usually set up by engraving formation patterns, placing them into the formation core, and finally using spirit stones to activate it.
That formation core was the absolute weakness of the formation. As long as one found the formation core and destroyed it, they would be able to break through the formation very easily.
However, to find the formation core was difficult, and almost as difficult as using strength to destroy it. Under the ancient inheritance, the formation was created by itself and had gone through generations of innovation and perfection.
Among them was the protection and concealment of the formation core.
Those who did not understand the formation were trapped in the formation. Without a bit of luck, they would not be able to get out for eight to ten days.
It was even more so for powerful formations. As long as there was a supply of spiritual energy, the formation will continue to operate until the person trapped in it was dead.
As for killing formations, there was basically nothing to talk about. They were all about mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a powerful attack to kill the enemy.
As for the specific attack, it depended on the form.
Just like what Su Yi was facing now, it was a type of sword formation. This type of sword formation was also known as the Prodigal Sword Formation!
Using a physical longsword to inscribe the formation patterns that triggered the formation, and finally activating the formation, the formation would trigger the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and mobilize the bronze swords with the formation patterns to attack the enemy.
As for how this white fog came about, only after Su Yi had learned the key to the formation would he be able to figure it out. After all, the trapping formation was related to the Yin, Yang, and five elements of heaven and earth.
..
At this moment, Su Yi once again dodged the attacks of the sword stream. Under the control of the formation, even if the swords were stabbed into the ground, they would quickly fly back into the torrent.
“There’s no other way if this goes on…”
He stared at the hundreds of bronze torrents and began to think of a solution in his heart.
This array was invisible, and there was no one here to set it up. In other words, this array required a certain amount of spiritual energy to operate.
He did not have any knowledge about arrays, but he had thought of the root of the problem. Since there was no one here, how could the array operate?
Suddenly, he thought of the teleportation arrays in the city. Those teleportation arrays required a cultivator to put in spiritual stones to operate.
‘If I find the spirit stones that provide the spiritual energy, won’t I be able to break the broken array?’
