Lin Huang slept exceptionally well that night, mainly because of Bai's vigil.
Bai's combat strength was Virtual God rank-8, but with his current pseudo-mythical-level, he was almost invincible below True God level.
If a True God came, his territory would sense it, so he did not have to worry.
However, he was not disturbed at all that night.
When he woke up in the morning, it was almost seven o 'clock.
Coming out of the tent, Lin Huang saw dozens of abyssal monster carcasses piled not far away.
Clearly, Bai had a sense of propriety and did not go too hard on the humans who came near. He only chased them away.
"So many Abyssal Tribes are here?" Lin Huang was rather surprised.
"This area happens to be where abyssal monsters appear frequently," Bai explained. He did not say that it had something to do with the fact that his territory was too large.
Any Abyssal Tribe that came within a hundred kilometers of the tent was pierced through the heart by the Almighty Vampire Particles.
Most of the monsters that accidentally barged in didn't even know what happened before they died.
Lin Huang put the tent away unhurriedly and put the monster carcasses into his storage space. Only then did he take out breakfast and heat it up.
When it was done, Lin Huang gave Bai another portion.
"I slept well last night. Thanks!"
Bai nodded slightly as he accepted the breakfast.
The two of them chatted as they ate their breakfast.
Mostly, it was Lin Huang talking and Bai listening.
After breakfast, Lin Huang tidied up and recalled Bai back into card form.
He walked slowly to the edge of Swordfiend Abyss' entrance and looked down, but he could only see twenty to thirty meters below him. Any further down was a layer of fog. Not only could he not see through it, but even his Divine Telekinesis could not. He could not find out how deep Swordfiend Abyss was.
After thinking for a moment, he contacted Xiao Hei.
"I'm still on imperial-level in theory. If I want to use Substitute Cards, a grade-2 card should be enough, right?"
"Yes. As long as you haven't consolidated a Godhead, you're still considered a Transcendent. "
"In that case, I'll exchange for ten two-star Substitute Cards." Lin Huang was surprisingly cautious. "And two Position Swap Cards."
Looking at the 12 extra cards in his hand, Lin Huang took out a Clone Card that he had exchanged before and crushed it to summon a clone of himself.
"Before I come out, wait outside Swordfiend Abyss. Try to keep a low profile and don't cause any trouble. If I encounter any danger that I can't resist, I'll use the Translocation Card to swap places with you. "
The clone nodded and sat down cross-legged at the entrance of Swordfiend Abyss.
The reason why Lin Huang made such an arrangement was that he knew that it was unlikely that a two-star or three-star Escape Card could escape the restriction of the Great Heaven ruins. He would only be able to escape if he had a five-star Escape Card.
However, the Transposition Card was different. The usage of the Transposition Card had nothing to do with the environment. It was only related to the user's combat level. This was because the rule of the card was for the user to swap places with his doppelganger.
Even if he was locked up in a Lord's cage, the current imperial-level Lin Huang would only need a two-star Transposition Card to get himself out, much less a Heavenly God ruins.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of the Transposition Card was that it could be used instantaneously. As long as the card was used, the swap would be completed in an instant.
After arranging his escape route, Lin Huang looked down at Swordfiend Abyss again.
"If Sword11 wasn't lying about Swordfiend Abyss, then this first trial shouldn't be too difficult for me," muttered Lin Huang in a low voice. Then, with a leap, he jumped into Swordfiend Abyss.
Almost at the same time, Lin Huang's ability to fly seemed to have been completely sealed by some sort of restriction. His body plummeted downwards in freefall.
However, Lin Huang did not panic too much. Sword11 had said that as long as he jumped down, even Heavenly Gods would not be able to fly.
His body passed through layers of clouds and fell at an accelerated pace. All Lin Huang felt was that he was getting faster and faster.
Unlike parachuting, there was no air resistance at all as he fell.
However, the entire fall did not last very long. In about two or three minutes, Lin Huang could see the ground.
The moment before he landed, he finally regained the ability to move.
With a flip, his feet landed firmly on the ground. He did not even leave any footprints on the ground.
As soon as he steadied himself at the bottom of Swordfiend Abyss, Lin Huang immediately looked around.
Yes, he did not rashly send out his Divine Telekinesis.
This was something Sword11 had emphasized.
He looked around and saw a canyon with cliffs towering into the clouds on both sides. He could not see the top.
Lin Huang's gaze was quickly drawn to dozens of corpses not far away.
These corpses all looked unscathed. Even the expressions on their faces were lifelike. Some were shocked, some were in despair, and some even looked normal, as if they did not even notice what had happened.
A few of the corpses even gave off auras that made Lin Huang wary. They must have been heavenly god-level powerhouses when they were alive.
Sword11 had specifically emphasized that touching these corpses without passing the trial was tantamount to suicide.
Lin Huang quickly shifted his gaze away from the corpses and looked at the cliffs.
The trial for this stage was on the cliffs.
Just as Sword11 had said, the cliffs were covered in all sorts of sword marks.
Some were just casual cuts, the marks were as shallow as hair; some were several feet deep, the marks were obvious; some were poetic and eloquent; some used the cliffs as drawing paper, vivid and lifelike …
These seemingly messy sword marks were the scariest thing about Swordfiend Abyss.
That was because every mark contained the Sword Dao of a sword cultivator.
The people who left behind the marks ranged from transcendent to ninth-rank heavenly god-level. These remnant Sword Dao ranged from the lowest level, nuance, to Sword Dao true meaning, and even Sword Dao heavenly rule that was comparable to God Dao sequence.
If a non-sword cultivator entered, they would instantly alert all the Sword Dao on the cliffs of Swordfiend Abyss. After all, among the powerhouses who left behind the marks, there were several ninth-rank heavenly god-level sword cultivators. Even if they were not as strong as Great Heaven when they were alive, they were not that far off.
Even if Great Heaven himself had preserved his original strength and entered as a swordsman, he would probably be injured. Not to mention the other non-sword cultivators in the Great Heaven Territory.
According to the black market's records, the strongest Heavenly God who entered Swordfiend Abyss was only a sixth-rank heavenly god-level swordsman, Shang Tian.
Lin Huang could almost imagine the scene of this powerhouse being instantly killed by the countless Sword Daos as soon as he stepped foot into Swordfiend Abyss.
In reality, the reason why the corpses in Swordfiend Abyss could not be touched had to do with these Sword Daos. That was because after these powerhouses were killed, the Sword Daos that killed them would remain in their bodies.
For sword cultivators, Swordfiend Abyss was actually very gentle.
The Sword Daos in the marks would only be triggered if one actively touched them with Divine Telekinesis.
Not only that, Swordfiend Abyss would also provide guidance courses for sword cultivators.
It was just like how Lin Huang could already sense the first level of Sword Dao coming from the sword marks before he even used his Divine Telekinesis to probe …
