Outside the Nether Sword Mound, many from holy lands from all over the Nine States lifted their feet and finally stepped into the Sword Mound.
"Tombkeeper Village, lead the way," a mighty one from the Hall of Holy Light said. This time, it was not just Yaya, Ying, and a few others from Tombkeeper Village who entered. There were also many elders from Tombkeeper Village who came with them.
Two elders nodded and walked in front. One of them said, "The Nether Sword Mound is full of killing intent. One wrong step and you will die. Even saints may perish in the Sword Mound. Only top masters of matrices can enter. If you are not good at matrices, it is not too late to back out now."
"It's fine. If we really run into danger, I believe the people from Tombkeeper Village will have a way to get us out," a mighty one from Daluo Sacred Mountain said coldly. A mighty one from Daluo Sacred Mountain said coldly. That was the reason why they insisted that the people from Tombkeeper Village enter the Nether Sword Mound.
"Be careful." Yaya stood beside Ye Futian and reminded him. Ye Futian nodded. The group stepped into the dim space and felt colder and colder. It was as if there was a formless cold wind in the air, and the cold wind had the sharpness of swordsmanship.
"Whose tombs are these?" someone asked. As they moved forward, they passed by a graveyard.
"The followers of the Sword Saint of the Void were buried here with their bones. Tombkeeper Village guards this graveyard," the elder leading the way said.
"Is that so? What is in the depths of the Nether Sword Mound?" Someone from the Qi Clan asked. Obviously, they did not completely believe the elder's words. Tombkeeper Village had been cultivating here in seclusion for many years just to guard a graveyard?
Who would believe such a thing?
"I don't know. We have never gone too deep. No one has been able to go in. The Village Chief said that it is the burial place of the Sword Saint of the Void. There is great terror there that kills all who disturb his rest," another person replied. Many cultivators from holy lands frowned. These guys spoke with such terrifying killing intent. Did they want to make them retreat?
"But as far as I know, the Chess Saint once saw the people of Tombkeeper Village cultivating inside the Nether Sword Mound. What is going on?" Liu Zong asked plainly.
"That is still not the depths. It is said that the deepest part of the Nether Sword Mound has sword aura that comes from the void. It is said to have the power to destroy everything," the elder continued.
This old man kept repeating the horror, and even the people from the Holy Land felt a little scared. In addition, they could feel the chill in the cemetery getting stronger and stronger, and there was a faint sense of unease.
However, they were ultimately experts from the Holy Lands. Their mental states were steady, and they wouldn't retreat so easily.
The holy lands of the Nine States had never had such a large-scale operation to enter the Nether Sword Mound. This time, they had to figure out the secrets hidden in the Nether Sword Mound.
They knew that Liu Zong and Xihua Sacred Mountain were somewhat wary of them and did not come alone. As such, they intentionally released the news for the other holy lands to travel together. But at the same time, they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. This was an opportunity.
After a while, they had gone very deep. When they looked back, they could no longer see Tombkeeper Village. Their spiritual power could not penetrate it, and they had entered the Nether Sword Mound.
There seemed to be even more graves here, and on top of each grave, there was a sword stabbed neatly and uniformly. The chilling killing intent was getting stronger and stronger.
Many people could even vaguely sense the existence of the aura of laws. It was as if the Nether Sword Mound was naturally nurturing the power of laws instead of the pure spiritual qi of the world.
Liu Zong wasn't lying. The Nether Sword Mound was a heaven-defying holy land for cultivation. Even the nomological matrices set up outside could not compare to the cultivation conditions here. Moreover, as they continued forward, the aura of the nomological laws became more and more distinct. There were even different nomological wills appearing.
"What will happen if we fly?" someone asked.
"You have entered the area of the matrix. You will die if you fly in," someone from Tombkeeper Village said.
"Be careful, it's coming." At that moment, the people of Tombkeeper Village looked up, and a murderous intent descended. The dark sky suddenly lit up with dazzling light, and sword auras rained down. Tens of thousands of swords rained down.
Everyone raised their heads and prepared for battle.
"Be careful." Ye Futian said softly. Countless dazzling swords rained down from the sky, stabbing into the ground. Everyone dodged out of the way.
The Sword Will filled the air, and the swords clanged. Very soon, the ground in this vast space was covered with sharp swords, surrounding all of them.
A dazzling pattern appeared in the sky, covering the ground below. Endless sword will rained down from the pattern, resonating with the swords on the ground, making the sword will grow stronger.
"Sword Diagram." Ye Futian's eyes flashed, and the matrix appeared.
"Now that we are in the sword matrix, you should be able to feel that the power of the sword matrix is constantly accumulating power. The further we go, the more powerful the killing power of the sword matrix will become, and the difficulty of breaking the matrix will continue to increase. When the power of the sword matrix reaches a certain level, even if you find a way to break the matrix, you will not be able to break it without enough training. You will die without a doubt," someone from Tombkeeper Village reminded them. The higher the level of training a matrix master was, the more opportunities they would have.
"What if I force my way out?" A mighty one from the Hall of Holy Light asked with extreme pride. They, too, felt that the power of the sword matrix was not strong enough. What would happen if they were to force their way out?
"You can try," the old man from Tombkeeper Village replied plainly.
Liu Zong looked up at the sky. As expected, it was almost the same as the image sent to him by the Chess Saint. The Chess Saint had evolved the sword matrix with the way of chess, and his understanding of matrices was unparalleled in the Nine States.
"Follow me to break the matrix," Liu Zong said and moved to break the matrix. The nine students of the Chess Saint followed him. They were all matrix masters and were very familiar with matrices, so it was only natural that they would be the ones to break the matrix.
"Don't move." Ye Futian said to Ye Wuchen behind him, "Wuchen, I will lead the way with the chess pieces. Wherever the chess pieces fall, you will forge swords with the rules of shredding and descend there."
"Alright." Ye Wuchen nodded. Brilliant light appeared behind Ye Futian, and a chessboard appeared and projected itself onto the matrix, overlapping with the matrix. It was as if countless sharp swords had been plunged into the chessboard, corresponding with it.
Furthermore, everyone could vaguely see that the swords that fell onto the matrix turned into the word "kill."
"The Killing Sword Matrix."
"Chess Spirit."
Liu Zong looked at Ye Futian, and the nine students of the Chess Saint looked surprised as well. Ye Futian had not released his Chess Spirit back at the Chess Saint Villa, yet he was still able to break the Celestial Dragon Chess Game.
Yang Xiao's eyes sparkled. It seemed that if the Master were to choose a successor, Ye Futian would indeed be the most suitable. However, the Master was not simply looking for a successor, but to escape.
Ye Futian's mind moved slightly, and suddenly, many chess pieces appeared on the chessboard. Ye Wuchen waved his hand at almost the same time, and countless swords of rules fell, falling where Ye Futian's chess pieces fell. When all the swords appeared, they faintly coalesced into a word: break.
"Wuchen, activate it," Ye Futian said. Ye Wuchen's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he immediately activated the power of the Sword Will with his mind. In an instant, the swords turned into a terrible matrix of destruction, colliding with the killing matrix. A terrible storm appeared in the void, and two words seemed to collide — the word "kill" and the word "break."
A dazzling light bloomed, and the word "kill" was destroyed. The swords before Ye Futian and the others all disappeared, and a path appeared.
"Let's go." Ye Futian stepped out and continued forward.
"What a fast speed." Everyone's eyes revealed a look of surprise.
"Do you remember it?" Someone from a holy land asked, wanting to imitate Ye Futian's method of breaking the matrix. All the holy lands had brought matrix masters to the Nether Sword Mound, and they had all come prepared.
"Yeah." Those who were good with matrices nodded, and then imitated Ye Futian's method of breaking the matrix. Soon, they also broke the matrix before them.
"Catch them," someone said and chased after Ye Futian. Someone said and chased after Ye Futian. At that moment, Liu Zong and the others had broken the matrix as well. They looked ahead and continued forward.
After breaking a large sword matrix, the aura of rules in the place became noticeably stronger, but the murderous intent grew thicker as well.
The people from the holy lands knew that they had truly stepped into the Nether Sword Mound, and that they were already challenging the Nether Sword Mound.
Soon, the second sword matrix appeared, and Ye Futian still broke it easily, followed by the third and fourth. The people from the holy lands were all shocked, but they all followed Ye Futian closely. It was apparent that they all realized that following Ye Futian was more reliable than following the people from Tombkeeper Village.
Perhaps Ye Futian had gotten the method of breaking the matrix from the Village Chief.
Ye Futian was able to easily break the nine matrices at the Chess Saint Villa last year, even breaking the Celestial Dragon Chess Game. With the sword diagram given to him by the Village Chief, even if the sword diagram had different variations, it was not a problem for him. It was only natural that he was able to easily break the outer sword matrix, and he seemed to be at ease in the Nether Sword Mound.
It was to the point that the people from the holy lands gradually forgot that the place was a forbidden land.
The group continued to venture deeper, to the point that they had no idea where they were or how far away they were from Tombkeeper Village. The space cut off their spiritual powers, causing them to lose their ability to judge.
At that moment, the Village Chief stood alone at the entrance of the Nether Sword Mound.
In the dim space, his eyes were extremely demonic. They were silver, like a pair of swords, piercing through the air and looking at everything within the Nether Sword Mound. He saw Ye Futian and his party there, and he could even see them breaking the matrix.
It was as if his eyes could see right through the forbidden land.
No one from the holy lands would have thought that there was someone who could ignore the power of the forbidden land's isolation and see through the air to see what was happening within.
"Well done," the Village Chief said. The Village Chief spat out. He was indeed a genius. Ye Futian was even more outstanding than he had imagined. If that was the case, there would be no flaws at all!
