The purple flames in the Purple Serene Evil Ghost's eye sockets flickered and emitted a fierce purple light, as if it wanted to see through all secrets, but it found nothing.
That living being with a delicious soul had disappeared right in front of his eyes.
…
As if passing through water, Chen Zong's body became sluggish. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, it was only a short moment. Chen Zong passed through the water curtain-like barrier and landed heavily on the ground with a dull thud.
Intense pain continued to spread from his right palm, engulfing his entire body. His entire arm twitched uncontrollably. A sinister and sharp energy continued to spread from his right palm to his arm along with the intense pain, corroding his body. His soul was also attacked by an evil energy, causing his mind to become dazed.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's soul was strong enough to quickly shake off this impact and regain consciousness.
As if an invisible blade was tearing through his body, Chen Zong frowned. He felt that his vitality was being destroyed little by little.
Not daring to hesitate, Chen Zong immediately swept his surroundings with his Spiritual Sense. After not feeling any danger, he took out a healing pill and a pill to restore his Spirit Energy, then circulated his Secret Art to dissolve the pill's power.
As the pill's power was dissolved, his Spirit Energy quickly recovered. The healing pill's efficacy also resisted the terrible force that invaded his body. With the help of his Spirit Energy, it surrounded him from all directions.
However, Chen Zong found that the pill's power, his own Spirit Energy, and the Heart Sword's power could not expel the death aura filled with Death Qi. They could only constantly compress it and finally seal it on a finger of his left hand.
Chen Zong's little finger had changed greatly. It was now grayish-black and filled with a palpitating Death Qi.
Cutting off his little finger might be a solution, but Chen Zong did not intend to do so. He would wait until the Purple Cloud True Flame's power was restored, then use it to burn the power of the little finger.
His right palm was penetrated and there was a hole, but with the help of the pill, it recovered little by little. In addition, Chen Zong's Body Refinement cultivation had reached the Second Layer of Dragon Force Realm, so his self-healing ability was stronger than ordinary Transcendents. Even so, it would take a lot of time to completely heal.
Chen Zong couldn't help but smile bitterly. This time, he had almost failed.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. The Floating Cloud King had already made it very clear that there was the danger of death upon entering the Fierce Ancient Battlefield. However, before encountering it, one would often subconsciously harbor a little bit of hope in one's heart. However, when it truly arrived, one would be caught unprepared.
Fortunately, Chen Zong was not an ordinary person. He reminded himself all the time. Therefore, when the crisis of death came, he reacted quickly and used all his strength.
However, the difference was too great.
Even though he had unleashed all of his strength, he was still unable to withstand the other party's attack. He felt that the other party had not used his full strength in that attack.
If he had used his full strength, perhaps he would have died by now.
Even though he was still alive, his injuries were not light. His strength had been greatly reduced, and even his grade one spirit artifact gloves had been shattered.
"Where is this place?" Chen Zong stood up and looked around carefully.
This was a very spacious hall. There were nine huge pillars supporting the roof of the hall. Each pillar was covered with unique patterns. The patterns were like sword marks that intersected with each other. It was very complicated.
He scanned the area with his soul sense but found nothing, which made Chen Zong even more confused.
"Could it be a subspace?" A thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
The Floating Cloud King had told him about some of the situations in the Fierce Ancient Battlefield. There were dangers, but there were also opportunities.
One of the so-called sources of danger was the Battlefield Evil Ghosts that woke up after nightfall. Of course, there were also other geniuses from other regions who had entered the Ancient Battlefield.
Opportunities, on the other hand, were secondary spaces.
Like the sanctuaries, the subspaces were built by the Upper Sects. But there was a difference. Most of the subspaces were built by the Upper Sects, and only a few were left behind by the elites of the Upper Sects.
Subspaces were even rarer than God's Sanctuary, but they were also better.
This was because the shelter only provided protection so that people could safely pass through the night on the battlefield and avoid being hunted down by evil spirits.
In the subspace, however, there was a chance of obtaining benefits.
Cultivation methods, martial arts, pills, weapons, and so on were all possible.
Of course, there was also the possibility of obtaining nothing.
After confirming that he was in the subspace, Chen Zong's mind became active.
The Fierce Ancient Battlefield had not been opened for long. He should be the first person to enter this subspace. The things inside should not have been taken away yet.
But, where were they?
Chen Zong walked to the first pillar and carefully examined it. Looking at the sword marks on it, he unconsciously immersed himself in it.
Vaguely, Chen Zong seemed to see a blurry figure holding a sharp sword. The sword slashed out again and again. The trajectory seemed simple, but it was mysterious. It was extremely agile and sharp. Every slash had an indescribable charm.
Each sword mark represented a sword, and they were densely crisscrossed.
After an unknown period of time, Chen Zongqing woke up. When he looked at the pillar again, he felt that the sword marks on the pillar were no longer as messy as before. They had become orderly, and some kind of pattern was on the verge of appearing.
Deep in thought, Chen Zong walked to the second pillar and continued to observe.
Each of the nine pillars was covered with sword marks. They were similar but different. From this point, it could be seen that the sword marks on the nine pillars were made by the same person.
"It's not a profound sword skill." After looking at the sword marks on the nine pillars, Chen Zong pondered.
With Chen Zong's attainment in swordsmanship, he could see some of the mysteries. Those sword marks were marks left by simple swordsmanship.
How simple was the swordsmanship?
It was the Basic Swordsmanship.
The Basic Swordsmanship was the foundation of swordsmanship. It was the simplest move, but under the sword of the unknown expert, it was not simple at all. It contained a unique mystery.
This mystery made Chen Zong feel confused. Obviously, the opponent's attainment in swordsmanship was better than his, but he was not sure by how much.
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Zong carefully comprehended. His intuition told him that the sword marks on the nine pillars were the key.
If he could not comprehend them, even if he entered the subspace, he would only be able to hide from the evil spirits in the outside world.
Calming his heart, Chen Zong's gaze swept across the eight pillars. After sweeping over all the sword scars on them, it was as if he wanted to deeply imprint them in his mind. Soon after, he closed his eyes. His breathing became long and almost silent.
While comprehending, the power of the Purple Cloud True Flame was slowly recovering.
Time passed slowly.
In Chen Zong's mind, there seemed to be a sword light flashing. The sword light was simple and direct.
Then, the second ray of sword light lit up and pierced through everything in its path.
The third!
The fourth!
The fifth!
More and more sword lights flashed in his mind, and they became denser and denser. They crisscrossed like tens of thousands of swords, shining brightly. Each sword light was similar or different.
Chen Zong looked very dignified. The tens of thousands of sword lights seemed to want to break through his mind.
Gradually, the tens of thousands of sword lights approached and finally condensed into one. The sword light was extremely majestic and dazzling. It emitted an amazing brilliance. The light was so bright that it seemed to illuminate the sky.
Chen Zong's body was also affected. It was as if he could not control it. The spiritual power in his body surged. The Heart Sword Force and the Green Cloud Force also filled the air in an instant and merged into one.
He put his fingers together like a sword and seemed to draw a line in the air. It also seemed to pierce through the air. It was as light as a feather and seemed to have no power. It was like a wisp of smoke. However, the moment the sword light broke through the air, it was mighty. It was like the roar of wind and thunder. It shook the heavens and the earth and burst out with a terrifying power that could destroy everything.
With a boom, a green sword light split the air. It was as if the space in the hall was divided into two.
Chen Zong also felt that the power in his body was drained in an instant. A sense of emptiness spread all over his body.
Even so, Chen Zong grasped the feeling of the instant sword strike. It was like a brand that fell on his soul.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine transformations fused into one sword move …" Chen Zong muttered to himself as he swallowed a pill to recover his spiritual energy.
It turned out that there were 9,999 sword marks on the nine pillars. Each mark was very simple. It was just a mark left by a basic sword move. However, they were all different.
When Chen Zong comprehended it thoroughly, he realized that each sword mark was actually a change of a sword move. When all the sword marks were comprehended and merged, he realized that it was actually one sword move.
It was a very powerful sword move, and he used all his strength to launch it.
With a buzz, something strange happened. The nine pillars trembled, and the sword marks on them emitted light. The entire hall seemed to be shaking along with it.
At the same time, in the Sky Bearing Upper Region, there was a small pavilion built on the edge of a high cliff. It faced the rolling sea of clouds outside the cliff. Under the direct sunlight, it emitted a colorful brilliance. It was very beautiful.
In the small pavilion, there were two people sitting on the ground, separated by a small round stone table. On top of the table, there was a sparkling and translucent white jade gourd and two incomparably exquisite white jade wine cups. In the cups, there was amber-colored wine. The wine fragrance rose in spirals, like the shadow of a coiling dragon.
One of the middle-aged men in green was about to raise his wine cup when he suddenly froze. Then, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Li, what are you so happy about?" The black-robed man sitting opposite the middle-aged man in green asked curiously when he saw the smile on the middle-aged man's face.
"Something interesting." The middle-aged man in green smiled. He raised his wine cup and took a sip. "Someone has comprehended the sword move I left behind in the Ancient Lie Battle Subspace."
"Is it that sword move of yours?" The black-robed man raised his eyebrows in surprise. "It's unbelievable that someone in the Lower and Middle Region can comprehend it."
"I left behind the first move in that subspace. It's disassembled into 9,999 changes. Only by comprehending all the changes can one have a chance of comprehending it." The middle-aged man in green put down his wine cup and said with a smile, "Actually, what I left behind is a spiritual sword. As long as you find the mechanism, you can get the spiritual sword. As for the sword move, I didn't expect anyone to comprehend it. It was just something I made on a whim. I didn't expect anyone to comprehend it."
"Your sword move is mysterious. Different people comprehend it, and each sword move is different. I wonder what kind of sword move this person will comprehend?" The black-robed man was curious. He wasn't curious about the person who comprehended the sword move, but the sword move itself.
