They were nearing the deepest part of the trial grounds.
The murderous aura here was so strong that it made one uncomfortable.
Moreover, Jun Wu Xie had a strange feeling. It was as if there were pairs of cold eyes staring at him from somewhere in this area.
It was a chilling feeling that sent chills down his spine.
It was as if he was being stared at by many man-eating beasts.
He raised his guard and continued to move forward.
Not long after, a tall mountain appeared at the end of their line of sight.
The mountain was very strange. Other than the front, the other three sides were void.
It was as if it was in another dimension.
At the peak of the mountain, there was a terrifying murderous aura. It was like black smoke rising from the mountain and gradually dissipating, forming black clouds around the mountain peak.
At the same time, the space above the mountain peak turned into nothingness. It was constantly distorted and destroyed. It was a terrifying scene. It was like a black hole that could swallow everything in the world.
"Master, we're almost there. It's there!" Concubine Ling pointed to the mountain at the end of the world and said, "When I fell into the crack of the world, I came to this world from the abyss at the peak of the mountain."
"You're saying that there's an abyss at the peak of the mountain, and the crack that connects the two worlds is in the abyss?"
Jun Wu Xie's heart was beating fast. It was his first time seeing such a scene.
The scene at the peak of the mountain was terrifying. It was especially oppressive.
Concubine Ling nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
They continued to move forward. As they got closer to the mountain, a few figures appeared in their line of sight.
Previously, Jun Wu Xie did not notice them because they were too far away and too small of a target.
Now, he could vaguely see many people on the way to the peak of the mountain.
Other than humans, there were hundreds of tormented souls at the foot of the mountain.
These tormented souls had a strong murderous aura and a high cultivation level.
"What cultivation level are they in?"
It was difficult for him to determine. The difference in cultivation level was too great. It was difficult to see through them.
Concubine Ling replied, "The Galaxy Realm. Their leader is at the Seventh Transformation of the Galaxy Realm. The Tormented King is at the pinnacle of the Tenth Transformation of the Galaxy Realm."
"Their cultivation level is so high?"
Jun Wu Xie's expression turned serious.
His gaze was fixed on the few giant tormented souls at the front of the group. They were more than ten meters tall.
There was no doubt that they were the leader and king of the tormented souls!
There were six in total.
Five of them were at the seventh transformation of the Galaxy Realm, and one was at the pinnacle of the tenth transformation!
At the foot of the mountain, the tormented souls were lined up neatly like an army.
A troop of tormented souls was charging up the mountain.
The path up the mountain was very narrow, only allowing two to three tormented souls to attack at the same time.
That path led to the peak of the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, it suddenly became more than ten times wider.
The people from Mountain Qingshan Sword Sect and Daiga Ken Sect guarded the entrance that had suddenly widened. More than twenty of them worked together to fend off the tormented souls' attacks.
Jun Wu Xie saw more than ten corpses lying on the narrow mountain path.
On the necks of these corpses, there were several ghastly bloody holes. Their faces were deathly pale, without the slightest trace of blood. After death, their eyes were wide open, filled with fear.
As they neared the foot of the mountain, it was no longer boundless. Occasionally, there would be a small mountain range.
Jun Wu Xie and Concubine Ling were hiding on a small mountain, observing the situation ahead.
Why were the people from Mountain Qingshan Sword Sect and Daiga Ken Sect heading to the peak of the mountain?
He was very curious now, and he wanted to know the truth.
However, the peak of the mountain was filled with a murderous aura. Many parts of the void had collapsed. From his current distance, it was difficult for him to see clearly what was attracting the people from the two sects.
"Hmm? What's that? "
Jun Wu Xie's eyes searched the peak of the mountain.
He focused his vision and saw the back of a figure.
The figure was very close to the peak of the mountain, and there was a long distance between him and the disciples from the two sects.
However, the figure was very strange.
He was fixed on the mountain path. His right foot was in front of him, and his left heel was slightly raised. He looked like he wanted to continue forward, but he did not take another step forward.
He held a sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was inserted into the ground. However, his head was slightly tilted, looking at the peak of the mountain, as if he was staring at the collapsed void above the peak.
The entire scene was maintained like that.
Jun Wu Xie stared at the figure for a long time, but the figure did not move at all.
"Who is that?"
Jun Wu Xie felt very strange. This scene did not seem right.
"That person is already dead. He is not alive."
Concubine Ling said.
Jun Wu Xie was shocked when he heard this.
Dead person?
He stared carefully at the figure, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.
Judging from the figure and his clothes, that person was wearing a sword robe, but it was different from the sword robes worn by the disciples of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect and Daiga Ken Sect.
Moreover, the figure did not seem like a young man.
The trial ground had not opened for a thousand years, and all the martial artists who had entered this time were young. Then, who was this person?
"Could it be the Sword King of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect a thousand years ago?"
With such a guess in her heart, Jun Wu Xie was a little surprised.
He had been dead for a thousand years, but his body had not decayed?
Just as his heart was filled with doubts.
Some disciples of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect and Daiga Ken Sect were heading toward the peak of the mountain.
They seemed to be walking with great difficulty.
Along the way, with every few steps they took, the void around them would tremble.
As they walked, the person at the front suddenly screamed.
Jun Wu Xie saw that his body instantly cracked, like a broken porcelain, and directly turned into pieces.
There was no blood.
The moment the body exploded, the pieces of flesh turned into powder on the spot and disappeared into the distorted void.
The people behind suddenly stopped, trembling, and did not dare to move forward.
At this time, Jun Wu Xie saw the disciples of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect push the disciples of the Daiga Ken Sect in front of them.
That disciple was immediately sent flying.
The body was annihilated in the distorted air, and he only had time to let out a short scream.
At this time, the trembling of the void spread and extended toward the mountain.
Gradually, it spread to the position of the figure's back.
In an instant, his body, like a sand sculpture blown by the wind, turned into dust.
In the dust of annihilation, a dazzling sword light bloomed.
Jun Wu Xie's pupils suddenly shrank.
It was a multi-edged crystal the size of a walnut. It bobbed up and down in the air, and the light it emitted was like gushing sword qi!
"The Heart of the Sword King?"
He immediately thought of four words!
Now, everything was clear.
That figure was indeed the Sword King of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect from a thousand years ago.
His body had long decayed. Perhaps it was because his body was rather special, but he still maintained the posture and appearance he had when he died.
However, this was only on the surface. Under the trembling of the void, his body was annihilated.
The crystal that was left behind was definitely the Heart of the Sword King that Lord Alcohol had mentioned.
The Heart of the Sword King was the goal of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect in opening the trial.
It was no wonder that the people from the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect and the Daiga Ken Sect wanted to ascend the mountain.
At this moment, the people from the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect had excited expressions. They looked at the floating Heart of the Sword King with burning greed in their eyes!
However, they did not dare act rashly. They forcefully pulled the two inherited-teachings disciples of the Daiga Ken Sect in front of them and let them scout ahead to test the strength of the void strangulation.
The two inherited-teachings disciples of the Daiga Ken Sect were filled with fear. Their bodies trembled, and they did not dare to resist. They could only brace themselves and move forward.
"Concubine Ling, let's go!"
Jun Wu Xie did not wait any longer.
He had a general understanding of the situation now.
He had to obtain the Heart of the Sword King!
He just didn't know how strong the Void Strangulation was, and whether his physical body could withstand it.
No matter what, he had to try!
The Heart of the Sword King was of great significance to the Sōgō Gakuin School!
If he could obtain it, Lord Alcohol would be able to step into the Zong King realm and surpass the founder's realm. He would become a Sword King expert!
The founder was only a half-step Zong King back then!
In that case, he would have a solid foundation to revitalize the sect and restore it to its former glory.
They rushed toward the mountain as fast as they could.
Along the way, the golden blood aura surged like a golden ocean, creating a huge commotion.
The tormented souls at the foot of the mountain heard the commotion and turned their heads to look.
Instantly, their eyes glowed with ferocity as they rushed up while howling.
At this moment, on another small mountain, Jin Xuanyu's lips curled into a cold smile.
In fact, he had arrived a long time ago. However, due to the large number of tormented souls at the foot of the mountain, he did not show himself.
He knew that Jun Wu Xie would definitely come as well, so he hid himself.
In the end, Jun Wu Xie really showed up.
There was a woman beside him.
Who was the woman? Due to the angle, he could not see her face.
However, that was not important anymore.
"Kid, let me see what kind of trump card you have! You can actually obtain a huge amount of points in a short period of time! Even if you have a trump card, it will be used up in the face of so many Galaxy-Realm tormented souls! By then, I can kill you with a snap of my fingers! Hmm, but don't worry, I won't let you die so easily. I will slowly torture you and kill you! "
He muttered to himself. His voice was cold and filled with confidence.
