Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1381 Life And Death In The Blink of an Eye
The Grave of Glory of the Ancient Sword!
When he saw this row of ancient words, Chen Xi instantly understood that the will of the Immortal King buried within this tomb must have belonged to ‘This Royal Sword’
Chen Xi took a deep breath before she pulled Violetsky, and then she went inside the grave.
Swooshes!
In the next moment, Chen Xi appeared on the vast boundless flat platform.
The first thing that entered his eyes was the sword!
There are many swords of all kinds. They were pushed into the environment of the platform like a sword forest, and the number was no less than ten thousand!
Each immortal sword was engulfed with a terrifying, oppressive, and sharp slaughtering aura. Just this imposing aura seemed to be on the verge of knocking down and destroying this stretch of heaven and earth. It was so shocking to the extreme.
In the center of the platform was an old man in linen clothes sitting cross-legged there. His figure was tall, and even if he sat cross-legged, his spine remained as straight as a sword. Moreover, his hair was disheveled, causing his appearance to be hidden from Chen Xi's eyes.
When he looked at the old man from afar, Chen Xi felt a piercing pain in his eyes. It seemed like the old man was not a person, but a sword. A peerless sword that still exuded a terrifying killing intent even when deep within his case!
Clearly, this person was the will of the Immortal King buried within this tomb, the Glory of the Ancient Sword.
Swooshes!
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, and his gaze tore through space like a sharp lightning strike before it locked coldly onto Chen Xi.
In an instant, a chill emerged from Chen Xi's entire body. It was like being the target of an unrivalled savage beast from ancient times, and every single strand of hair on its body stood upright.
This gaze was truly too oppressive. It was like a sharp sword material that contained a terrifying Sword Insight, even causing space to be sliced into pieces. If it was an ordinary person here at Chen Xi's place, then that person would probably be instantly annihilated by this gaze.
At this moment, it also felt bad for Chen Xi. Even if he comprehended the Sword God realm in the cultivation of Sword Dao, he still felt a thread of pressure striking his face when he was seen by this gaze.
This caused him to be unable to help but reveal a slightly surprised expression.
However, this feeling disappeared after a moment. At the next moment, the old man stood up, and he placed his hands behind his back as he looked at Chen Xi indifferently.
"The Saint Immortal Realm and the Sword Sword realm. Not bad, the Snowdrain Sword was enough to deal with this! ”The old man spoke in a powerful voice, and it was like a sword that revealed a wisp of murderous and fierce aura. Simultaneously with his voice hovering in the air, clangs echoed, and then an immortal sword in the distant 'sword forest' on the platform suddenly flew out and descended into his hands.
This sword was over 1m long, completely carved out of ice, white jade, and translucent. In the center of the sword body was a bright red blob, and it was as beautiful as the bloody tears of a lover.
Eternal Snow Sword, Immortal Artifacts at the Valiant Level!
Om!
With an unscrupulous sword in hand, the old man's majestic aura actually instantly weakened greatly, and he only maintained it at the Half-step Immortal King Realm.
However, even though his cultivation had weakened, the murderous and terrifying Sword Insight that filled his body had become even fiercer and more spirited. He looked like a Sword God who stood proudly in heaven and earth, and he looked down on the world and ruled the universe.
Chen Xi could not help but laugh in her heart as she felt a terrifying aura pressing towards her from all directions. Sure enough, this is a recorded jade slip. Cultivating one's opponent in the Eternal King Tomb would be higher than one's self. This way, how could I possibly defeat him?
It was the Eternal Half-step King Realm!
Even if it wasn't a true Immortal King Realm, it was still enough to sweep across the entire God Saint.
Yet this old man was not just a mere Half-step Immortal King, even his cultivation in Sword Dao had reached the realm of Sword God.
When facing such an opponent, there might not be anyone who would not feel very discouraged upon seeing this.
Swooshes!
The old man suddenly moved. Wads of sword qi surged through the sky and seemed to have broken through the boundaries of space and time and surged explosively from the ancient times, and it was dazzling and overwhelming to the extreme.
Chen Xi did not even have time to react at all before she felt an indescribable pain running from her neck all over her body, and even his soul felt as if it had been sliced into countless pieces.
In an instant, the result was decided, and Chen Xi was 'annihilated' on the spot!
Bang out!
In the next instant, Chen Xi fell into the expanse of darkness.
"The 2nd trial of the test will begin after the time for incense to burn." An ice cold voice resounded in this dark room.
Chen Xi firmly endured the sharp pain that filled her body as she panted and sat cross-legged in the darkness. He was greatly shocked in his heart because that wisp of sword qi was too terrifying, and he did not have the slightest strength to fight against it.
If this were to happen in the outside world, then just one strike would definitely kill him!
Fortunately, this was the Eternal King Tomb. 'Abadi' here does not point towards the old man, and pointed towards the students who entered the king's tomb because they wouldn't actually be killed after experiencing their thousands of chances of passing the examination.
It's hideous! Really too scary! Chen Xi circulated her cultivation to endure the sharp pain that engulfed her entire body while she quickly pondered the strategy to deal with the old man.
After the time to burn the incense is over, a second trial will begin. So how could Chen Xi dare to waste time? But how exactly do I have to endure such a terrifying existence like the Sword of Nobles?
It's hard! It's really too hard! Chen Xi destroyed his brain but was unable to find a great strategy.
This caused his expression to become heavy. He finally deeply understood just how frightening the Eternal King Tomb was, and he understood why so few students were able to obtain the recognition of the Dao Emperor's legacy from ancient times until now.
Since only the first barrier would probably hinder most students.
What am I supposed to do? Chen Xi took a deep breath repeatedly as she tried her best to maintain her composure, and then a wisp of sword qi that was like a flash of light accidentally appeared in her mind.
That wisp of sword qi was too shocking, and it was swift and ferocious to its limit. It was so pure and clean as if it was another world, yet it carried an astonishingly terrifying aura that shook the heavens and earth.
Unfortunately, since Chen Xi 'killed' too quickly, he did not have the slightest time to lock the sword qi and capture the true depth behind it.
So at this moment, all he could remember in his mind was that the wisp of sword qi was dazzling and shocking, yet he was unable to see through its intrinsic depth.
"Test the second try of the exam, start!" Unknowingly, the time for the powerful stick to burn had passed quickly, and that ice-cold voice echoed again in this dark space.
Om!
Before Chen Xi could return to her senses, she once again appeared on that platform.
After which, he looked at the sword forest once more, and the High Sword Sect who was standing in the middle of the sword forest in linen clothes and with disheveled hair.
Clangs!
This time, Chen Xi instinctively pulled on Violetsky, and he circulated his entire cultivation with all his might, causing his entire body to emit a brilliant shining divine light.
Kill it!
Wads of sword qi appeared explosively from Chen Xi's palm. It was like a ray of purple light that glittered and flowed, and carried a terrifying aura from the Sword God realm. Moreover, he surged with the strands of Talisman Saint Dao Chen Xi who had yet to fully fuse into form.
With a single sword attack, heaven and earth were shaken, and over ten thousand immortal swords around the platform trembled in unison.
This sword attack was truly the strongest sword attack that Chen Xi had executed since advancing to the Immortal Saint Realm, and it seemed formidable to the point that both gods and demons would not dare to bear its burden.
“The sword is king. Hastily utilizing the sword would definitely cause its essence to disappear! ”While facing this sword attack, the old man suddenly shouted loudly. After which he seemed to have not moved at all, yet a blade of sword qi slashed horizontally. It was like a king descending into all resistance. The explosion resounded as it easily shattered the wisp of sword qi that Chen Xi had executed.
Moreover, his momentum did not slow down at all before 'killing' Chen Xi once again!
This peerless type of supreme bearing was just like the supreme ruler bearing commanding all swords!
A thread of sharp pain that tore through his soul surged once again through his entire body. Without exception, Chen Xi entered once more into that dark room, and she could not help but groan in pain.
This kind of feeling was truly too excruciating. It was like countless swords slicing through his entire body from the outside and inside, causing Chen Xi's entire body to shiver while his handsome face was crooked.
"Damn it! Why is the power of this Sword Exalt so terrifying !? ”
In the dark room, Chen Xi roared in a low voice. Even if he was clearly aware that this kind of 'death' would not cause him to actually die, yet when he actually experienced that scene of life and death, it was, it still caused him to be unable to help but feel a great terror.
It was a terror against life and death, and it was the greatest terror in the world!
It was no different from experiencing the reincarnation cycle through life and death. Compared to the pain his body suffered, this kind of terror from the instant change between life and death was what really caused Chen Xi to feel horrified.
Yes, even if he reached the Saint Immortal Realm, Chen Xi was unable to avoid fear when facing death, and she was unable to truly not be afraid before that.
Currently, in three dimensions, only an Immortal Monarch could truly control life and death because life and death were one of the three supreme Grand Dao Laws!
If this continues, then I will probably collapse before the thousand ordeals are over.. After a long time, Chen Xi gasped for breath as he calmed down, pacifying himself, and then he frowned as he pondered deeply without end. Before he came here, he had heard that among the students in the past who entered the Eternal Kings Tomb, he had heard that, there were some students who experienced their Dao Hearts collapse and fall into a qi deviation as they were unable to deal with the terror from a moment of life and death after they had undergone the examination.
The result of that was that the person's cultivation and path towards the Dao would be completely crippled!
Life and death, terror, trials .. Perhaps, only when I am not afraid of death will I really be able to compete with that old man … Chen Xi vaguely gained a bit of understanding about the purpose of this test. But even though he understood it, he clearly realized how difficult it was to truly not fear death.
Never, there is no point in thinking too much about it. I can't believe that I won't be able to defeat Sword Exalt in thousands of trials! In the end, Chen Xi threw away all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and she concentrated fully on the contemplation about the Dao Sword revealed by the Dying Sword.
There was only an incense stick of time before the third trial began. Under the pressure of this life-and-death terror, Chen Xi's potential seemed to have been fully stimulated, causing his mind to become extremely clear. Under such circumstances, he quickly caught a trace of the aura of the Dao Sword executed by the Noble Sword.
But it was just a thread of aura.
He doesn't need this. All he needed was the depth behind the Great Sword Dao Sword.
Only by comprehending its profoundness could he find a way to deal with it!
When one is really concentrating on something, time will flow very quickly. But this time, Chen Xi did not feel any urgency or pressure.
Perhaps it was because he could not be bothered about all of this at this moment. He opened his mind and heart before concentrating fully to capture and contemplate the old man's Sword Dao aura, and he was completely unaware of the passage of time …
