This was an ancient city that was sleeping in the deepest part of the lake. It was incomparably silent.
Its entire body seemed to be forged from bronze and condensed into one. There was no brilliance or vitality.
It was quiet and serene, forever silent in the depths of the lake. If the lake water had not dried up today, it would probably never appear in the world.
The entire ancient city was filled with broken artifacts and broken stone tablets floating in the air.
The inscriptions on the tablets were surrounded by a red and black light, as if they were formed after thick blood had dried up.
There were also many complicated and profound patterns carved on these inscriptions, as well as some ancient words. They seemed to contain some special meaning that could not be understood by the world.
In addition to the ancient tablets, there were too many sword pools here. They were soaked in dried molten iron, which had solidified into a ball. There were also many long swords that had yet to be formed.
This place was once known as the Sword City. It was the holy land in the eyes of countless cultivators in the Sword Mysterious World. It had a supreme meaning.
Every divine sword that shook the world came from this place. They were tempered thousands of times by the legendary swordsmiths of the past, and after countless years of hard work, they were finally formed.
Now, in this city, other than those broken ancient swords, there were many humanoid creatures that seemed to be frozen in time and space.
Their faces and genders could no longer be seen clearly. They could only be vaguely determined to be humanoid.
Perhaps tens of millions of years ago, they were once the swordsmiths here, but an unknown calamity had descended and destroyed this city.
No one had time to escape. They were swept away by the supreme unknown power and condensed into mud. The secret that would accompany this city forever was buried here.
Now, as Lin En stepped into this place again, the entire ancient city was once again suffused with an ashen color.
A long sigh sounded, as if it came from an unknown place. It carried sadness and sorrow, and it reverberated in this place. It was enough to affect the mood of the living beings who stepped into this place.
"Why was this ancient city buried in the past? What exactly happened in the past? "
Although Lin En's mood was also affected, his cultivation was powerful, and his state of mind was even more firm. He quickly recovered.
He tried to use the key in his hand to open the seal on the altar and take out the bronze divine sword.
Although he had never seen the Heavenly Path Sword before, Lin En was very sure that this bronze divine sword was what he was looking for.
There was a vast aura of the Heavenly Path surging on it, causing those who walked here to involuntarily prostrate themselves in worship.
"Don't … don't … don't …"
Just as he was about to step forward, an ethereal and ancient voice sounded around him again.
Even the surrounding pillars began to tremble. The direction of the withered figures that were tied to the pillars began to change. Tears of blood began to flow from the depths of their withered eye sockets, containing extreme sorrow.
It was as if they had done something wrong and were kneeling here after death to atone for their sins and beg for forgiveness.
Joelson was affected by this mood. His hand, which was about to open the seal, trembled uncontrollably for a moment. It was difficult for him to continue.
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin En's face was filled with shock and disbelief. He then bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.
As a result, he felt his mind clear up a little and was no longer as blurry as before.
Then, without hesitation, he placed the key in his hand into the groove in front of him.
At this moment, Lin En suddenly felt a pain in his palm. It was as if there was a scorching flame burning in his palm, instantly piercing through his palm and burning his flesh and bones.
He let out a muffled groan and hurriedly retreated. His eyes widened as he realized that the key was actually melting.
His blood, which was suffused with a hint of gold, was gathering drop by drop and falling into the groove above the altar.
"Why is this happening? Why do I have such an ominous feeling? "
Lin En's expression changed drastically. He felt that his life force was rapidly draining away from his cracked palm and was about to seep into the altar in front of him to become nutrients there.
He could not believe it. All of this happened too fast, so fast that he could not react.
And the Heavenly Path Sword that he had always regarded as the savior of the Mysterious Sword World was now covered with fine cracks. Then, it turned into a rain of light and began to collapse and dissipate!
"How is this possible? What the hell is going on?" Lin En could not believe what he was seeing.
However, it was too late for him to react. As the bronze divine sword collapsed and dissipated, the altar in front of him suddenly collapsed. All the surrounding bronze pillars were trembling and collapsing, and all the chains were breaking.
A terrifyingly large rift valley extended from the square all the way into the invisible darkness.
A monstrous wind rushed out from within, accompanied by a terrifying murderous aura. It was as if it could devour the world and destroy all the darkness.
The entire Sword City, which was sleeping in the depths of Mirror Lake, began to collapse. The originally sturdy and indestructible bronze pillars also collapsed one after another, turning into fine powder and dissipating between heaven and earth.
All of the water in Mirror Lake was swallowed up by the crack and quickly disappeared.
The entire sky seemed to have been destroyed, and the towering silver Heaven Reaching Tower at the side also abruptly fell and sank into the great rift valley with a rumbling sound.
Not far away, the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty's Grand Emperor was still resisting stubbornly in the midst of the commotion that had gradually subsided.
However, he was already on the verge of death. His entire body was covered in blood, like a candle in the wind. He kept coughing out blood. There was not a single part of his body that was intact. Some parts of his body even had white bones.
He looked at this shocking scene and his expression changed drastically. He was in disbelief.
"This place is definitely not as simple as a place abandoned by the heavens. This is the Sealing Altar!"
He was very knowledgeable and recognized the altar in the collapsed ruins. It was scattered in the void, flashing with an ancient demon-destroying aura.
"What happened here in the past? Why is there a Sealing Altar? Is it to seal the consciousness of the Heavenly Path?"
Even at the moment of life and death, the Great Yu Celestial Dynasty's Grand Emperor felt that the water in the Dark Sword World was far muddier than he had imagined.
"This is the consciousness of the Heavenly Path that you have been looking for." Gu Changge laughed softly. Even if he had killed several Dao Masters, it did not affect him in the slightest.
He knew that the battle that destroyed the heavens had once happened here. The consciousness of the Heavenly Path had tried to sacrifice all living beings to achieve transcendence and transformation.
However, it had failed in the end and was sealed here. Only a part of the consciousness of the Heavenly Path had escaped.
Lin En happened to be the descendant of the existence that had sealed the consciousness of the Heavenly Path. His blood could undo the seal here. This was the reason why the Heavenly Path's incarnation in the Boundless Celestial Valley had led him here.
"You knew all this all along?"
The Great Yu Celestial Dynasty's Grand Emperor was horrified. His entire body turned cold. He felt as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, and he almost could not breathe.
However, it was too late for him to react. Gu Changge raised his hand, and the halberd light slashed down. It destroyed the rules and order, and directly cut him in half.
At this moment, all the Dao Masters who had rushed here had lost their lives. None of them had escaped.
The Graceful Sword Fairy, the Snow Sword Fairy, and the others who had been watching this battle from afar were also trembling. They were extremely frightened. They did not expect that this group of Dao Masters would not be a match for Gu Changge even if they joined forces. They were quickly killed and died here.
They had witnessed everything with their own eyes. Gu Changge would definitely not let them live.
"What is this?"
Outside the collapsed great rift valley, Lin En stared blankly at everything that he had caused. He was still a little confused.
He kept feeling that he had walked into a trap and did something that he regretted greatly.
"It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to release this will of the Heavenly Path, and I wouldn't have been able to obtain the origin of the world." Gu Changge's figure appeared behind him. There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"It's all thanks to me?"
Lin En's entire body turned cold. He turned around and looked at Gu Changge in disbelief. His voice was trembling.
He did not know when Gu Changge had arrived here, but from the current situation, Gu Changge had killed the rest of the people here.
"What a pitiful guy. Your ancestor sealed the will of the Heavenly Path with great difficulty. In the end, you released it so easily." Gu Changge shook his head and laughed softly. Although it was a pity, the depths of his eyes were still cold. There was no fluctuation in his emotions.
"My ancestor?" Lin En was stunned. Suddenly, he sensed that there was a strong sense of sadness in the surroundings. In the collapsed sword city, there were light spots that filled the sky converging towards him. It was as if they were the heroic spirits of his ancestors from ancient times.
In just an instant, he understood the cause and effect. The expression on his face was stunned. He muttered, "How is this possible …"
He was really used by the will of the Heavenly Path. It used his blood to break the seal here, causing all the efforts of his ancestor to be in vain.
"I am a sinner." Lin En laughed bitterly. He knelt on the ground, full of guilt and sorrow.
"No, you are not a sinner. You are the hero who saved the Sword Mystery World."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find this guy's hiding place." Gu Changge smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he took a step forward and appeared above the great rift valley …
Terrifying astral winds swept through, containing divine chains of destruction that were difficult to describe with words. It was enough to penetrate the flesh of any cultivator.
But Gu Changge stood tall, his figure as motionless as a prison, looking into the bottomless depths of the darkness.
Pfft!
All the cultivators in the thirteen provinces of the Sword Mystery World were shocked. They trembled non-stop and felt cold all over. They saw a crack in the depths of the world, like a broken mirror.
It was also like a cracked egg, cracking continuously at this moment. It stretched across the sky and then began to collapse!
There was a vast and boundless anger and killing intent venting there. It was cold and merciless, as if it wanted to destroy everything. The cultivators who saw this scene all felt their hearts palpitate and their bodies turn cold.
What was that?
In the depths of the collapsed world, a ray of light fell.
It was an eye.
That eye was too frightening. It was as if it was formed from the shattered universe. It was incomparably huge.
It was deep and vast, dark and merciless. It was black and red, densely packed, and constantly oozed black blood. It made one's hair stand on end and felt cold from head to toe.
Moreover, there was not the slightest emotion. It was cold to the extreme!
At this moment, even their souls were frozen.
Including some of the Quasi-emperors who appeared from the Upper Realm, they did not even dare to move. It was as if they were targeted by an indescribable existence. They were worse than ants … No, worse than dust.
Outside the Ancient Mystic Ruins, countless cultivators and living beings also saw this horrifying scene.
"Seems like it should be what we are looking for …" A Land Sword Immortal's voice was trembling.
This was no longer an existence in a dimension. They simply could not understand what it was. If they looked directly at it, they even felt like their heads were about to explode.
"The Heavenly Dao is merciless, treating all things as dogs …"
"Seeing that it was not easy for you to give birth to consciousness, if you hand over the world's origin, I may spare your life."
Gu Changge looked at the eye that appeared at the end of the world, but his figure did not move. He still stood in front of the great rift valley and said lightly.
He knew that the eye was just a projection of the Heavenly Dao's will.
Its real eye was actually hidden in this deep darkness.
And as Gu Changge's voice fell, there was suddenly a riot under his feet. Chaotic qi rushed out, wanting to drown him.
A terrifying blood-red light suddenly shone, dispelling the deep darkness. It broke through the thick black fog and stared at Gu Changge.
An eye slowly opened in the depths of the darkness. The projection of the eye at the end of the world also looked in this direction.
Boom!!!
These two rays of light seemed to penetrate through the ages, the present, and the future, destroying everything.
But it was obvious that its origin was even more terrifying. It was not just in the depths of the world, but in the depths of the darkness.
No living being or cultivator could describe all of this, because the moment they looked at this ray of light, it was as if they had lost their soul, frozen in the world.
This included the Land Sword Immortals. Their souls were eliminated, and time and space became absolutely still!
At this moment, only those who had attained the Dao could break free from this bondage.
The existences of other levels could only be imprisoned in place, waiting for the catastrophe and death.
"Those who are disrespectful shall be killed!"
The cold and emotionless words were like the great millstone of destruction rotating, containing the power of destruction slowly coming out from the dark ground.
The entire Sword Mystic World was trembling, and countless cultivators were shocked. Their souls were about to fly out with these words and be destroyed.
In response, Gu Changge smiled lightly and did not say anything else.
Boom!
At this moment, he suddenly stepped forward from his original spot. His robe spread open, and his Dharma body was extremely terrifying. His huge body stood tall in the world, breaking through this world.
Then, his sleeves shook gently, and the chaos was destroyed, as if the order of billions of heavens was disintegrated!
He reached out a huge hand, as if he wanted to shatter the darkness!
That huge hand covered the sky, crossed the boundless territory, and covered 13 provinces. It struck the eye, causing it to tremble.
Suddenly, there were billions of strands of chaotic light, as if they could tear apart the heavens!
"This …"
Countless cultivators looked at this scene as if they were facing a miracle. They trembled in fear and directly knelt on the ground, worshipping in that direction.
This was already a power that was beyond their imagination, and they could not speculate at all.
Gu Changge made his move, wanting to destroy the will of the Heavenly Path in this world. At this moment, an unparalleled Emperor's might swept through the universe, and a palm pressed towards the terrifying eye, piercing through the dark ground.
