Limitless Sword God

Chapter 509

There had been no crack before, but now there were. Could it be that it was caused by the battle with that person?

In that case, didn’t that mean the tombstone could be destroyed?

Su Yun thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He immediately stood up, took half a step back, pulled out the Tribulation Fire Sword, infused profound qi into it, and then chopped towards the tombstone.

Bang!

When the Tribulation Fire Sword collided with the tombstone, a violent explosion immediately rang out. The shockwave rippled outwards, and a clear scarlet red sword scar appeared on the tombstone; it was as if it was lava.

However, the tombstone did not shatter.

From this, it seemed that the tombstone’s material was astonishing. If he wanted to destroy it, it was impossible to do so with just one or two strikes.

Su Yun took a deep breath and used the Tribulation Fire Sword over ten times in a row. The sounds of explosions rang out, and more than half of the profound qi that Su Yun had just accumulated was used up. His entire body was also panting, and his face was covered in sweat.

However, the tombstone was no longer completely intact. A large number of cracks had already appeared on its surface, and even more magical and powerful devil qi began to seep out from the cracks.

It was different from the devil qi that came out of the blood-red words. The devil qi was only pure devil qi, and it seemed to come out from somewhere.

Su Yun swallowed a medicinal pill and recovered some strength. After which, he stood up and continued to slash at the tombstone. action

This continued for a few rounds before a ‘kacha’ sound rang out. The incomparably hard tombstone finally turned into a pile of gravel under the bombardment of the Tribulation Fire Sword.

However, at the moment the tombstone shattered, Su Yun heard a ‘dong’ sound as if something was opened. He looked towards the tombstone and saw a small, black hole.

Although it was not big, it was enough for people to continue walking down.

Spirit Cultivator’s tombs weren’t like the tombs of mortals. Under the Spirit Cultivator tombstone, there was a coffin. Spirit Cultivators cultivated for a thousand years. Their bodies were powerful and contained endless energy. Once they died, how could they dare to be buried?

Didn’t that mean someone was digging up corpses to refine them for use?

As a result, most Spirit Cultivator would self-destruct after they died in order to find peace. At most, they would set up a cenotaph advance for later generations to worship.

Thus, according to common sense, there shouldn’t be anything underneath the tomb. However, devil qi was different now. The demonic energy in the cave was surging high into the sky as if there was something extraordinary hidden within.

Su Yun’s eyes secretly rolled twice, but he was not in a hurry to go down. He took the broken tombstone from the side and started looking through it.

The tombstone shattered, the inscription was broken, and the words on it no longer exuded a power that could shock a person’s soul. Su Yun carefully examined the inscriptions and realized that the inscription was not drawn with ordinary words, but rather drawn with a profound cloth. Not only that, the inscription seemed to contain some profoundness, and there were several types of power swirling within each of the words.

It was like an Array Seal that was so exquisite that it left one’s mouth agape!

And what supported the Array Seal was the devil qi that overflowed from the cave entrance!

Devil qi entered the Array Seal, activating it, and with the support of the Array Seal, it turned into a mysterious force that could suck one’s soul. When people’s line of sight noticed the inscription, the effect of the Array Seal would automatically activate, resonate with the person’s line of sight, establish a connection, and then use a channel to inject the processed devil qi into the person’s body.

‘What was going on?’

‘If the person who established the formation had the intention to mourn the Sect Guard Yin Mo, why would he do such a thing?’

‘To attract the attention of others?’

Su Yun thought to himself and then his eyes returned to the dark cave.

If he wanted to know the answer, it was actually very simple. As long as he entered this cave, he would be able to see it clearly. There was no way the Yin Mo’s corpse could be in the cave, so what could be inside?

What gave off such powerful devil qi?

Whether it was searching for his parents or for the trip to Suicide Valley, he needed too many things. If there was anything special inside, wouldn’t that be a fortuitous encounter to him?

Some things were missed, but it was something that could last for a lifetime.

He took a deep breath and stared at the black hole. In the end, he decided to take a look.

He sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave for half a day, meditating and resting. Using the pills to recuperate, he waited until he had fully recovered before holding the Tribulation Fire Sword in one hand and the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment flag in the other and leaping into the pitch-black cave.

He jumped into the hole and found that the hole was very deep as if he couldn’t see the bottom. He didn’t know how long he had been falling, but when his feet hit the ground, Su Yun realized that he had landed on a flight of steps.

But what made one’s scalp tingle was that the steps that extended down over a hundred floors were actually all made of bones.

The air was suffused with dense devil qi that could not be dispersed. Within the devil qi, one could faintly see faces that wailed miserably. They crashed everywhere, drifting in all directions, before finally flying into the sky and overflowing into the heaven and earth through that hole.

There really was a new world.

Su Yun looked down the steps, stared at it for a moment, and then walked down.

After the stairs was a long corridor made of white bones, and on both sides of the corridor were pitch-black walls. The distance between the left and right side was not even three meters wide and there was no light, but it didn’t matter. With Su Yun’s cultivation, he could clearly see everything.

“Someone’s coming!”

After taking a few steps forward, a voice suddenly rang out.

Su Yun’s expression tightened. The profound qi in his body activated on its own, and he vigilantly looked towards the source of the voice.

This voice came from the front, but a transparent spirit body suddenly appeared in front of him. This spirit body was erratic, as though it was about to disappear.

Su Yun took a closer look and saw that the spirit body was in the form of a Devil Cultivator. It was fully armoured, had two horns on its head, and had a wide body. Its eyes were red, and its skin was terrifyingly pale.

At that moment, he was carefully examining Su Yun.

Su Yun stared at the spirit body and asked, “Who are you?”

However, the spirit body thought for a moment and didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Su Yun immediately understood.

This spirit body was left here by the people who built this place. It was only a very minute part of the spiritual power, and that bit of spirit power only imbued itself with what its master asked it to do. Other than that, it could do nothing else and even didn’t understand most of Su Yun’s words.

It should only exist to convey some sort of message to the intruder.

Su Yun thought, and sure enough, the spirit body began to speak.

“This is the cenotaph of Devil Sect’s Sect Guard Yin Mo. Logically speaking, no one is allowed to enter this place, or else they would be disrespectful to Lord Yin Mo. However, since you’ve already arrived, you should go and pay your respects to Lord Yin Mo in front of his cenotaph, okay?”

Although the voice wasn’t mechanized, Su Yun still couldn’t feel any feelings. Without a doubt, this was just a routine speech.

However, Yin Mo was a senior of the Devil Sect, so it made sense that he himself was a member of the Devil Sect. It was indeed disrespectful to barge into someone else’s tomb.

Su Yun nodded and said, “Junior indeed didn’t have the time to consider coming here. Since that’s the case, junior will pay his respects to Senior Yin Mo.”

The spirit body did not speak, turning around and walking forward.

Su Yun followed.

The journey was smooth without any obstructions. There were no trap arrays, and everything was calm and peaceful.

Finally, after walking down the corridor, Su Yun followed the spirit body into an empty room.

This room was not as small as the hallway. It was extremely large, nearly a hundred meters tall, and a thousand meters wide. Within this room, there were seven huge white bone statues. From the shape of these statues, they were all Devil Cultivator.

Almost every statue had black markings on it, but he didn’t know what they were for.

In front of these sculptures was a three-meter tall stone sculpture. The face of the sculpture was extremely blurry and it was impossible to see its appearance clearly, but there were seven horns on its head. This sculpture was covered in black armour, and behind it were three long flags.

From the way he was dressed, the statue must be of the Sect Guard Yin Mo, and the clothes he wore must be his battle clothes from before he died.

“30,000 years ago, The Devil Sect was attacked, in order to protect the Devil Sect and the True Devil World, lord Yin Mo led seven of the most powerful Devil Cultivators to attack the last palace of the Nine Immortal Palace, beheading Immortal Nine Thousand with the Demon Sword, breaking their leader and causing the Immortal Army to be defeated. However, lord Yin Mo didn’t return, he was besieged by the Immortals for seven days and seven nights before he finally died.”

“The devils of the later generations remembered lord Yin Mo’s eternal achievements, built the cenotaph, wishing lord Yin Mo could be resurrected after his soul entering the cenotaph.”

“The current cenotaph is the strongest of the thousand cenotaphs belonging to Lord Yin Mo. This is because what is being sacrificed here is the battle armour he wore when he killed Immortal Nine Thousand.”

At this moment, the spirit body behind Su Yun spoke.

Although his voice wasn’t loud, Su Yun was still quite confused, and his heart jumped.

‘Immortal?’

‘Immortal Army?’

‘What was that?’

‘And what exactly was the Nine Immortal Palace?’

‘Immortal Nine Thousand?’

‘That should be a powerful existence, right?’

‘Yin Mo actually had the ability to lead only seven men into the lion’s den and behead the tiger?’

However, what made Su Yun even more shocked was how did the person who established the cenotaph bring Yin Mo’s armour back here?

Presumably, the person who established this place was not ordinary.

Speaking of Immortal, in his previous life, Su Yun had only read about them in books in the Devil Sect. As for the Path of Demons and the Path of Immortals, no one had ever said that the understanding of Immortals came from the mortals’ understandings of the gods.

Since ancient times, Immortals and Devils were never on par with each other, Su Yun had heard of it.

“Could it be that other than the True Devil Realm, there was another Immortal Realm?”

“Or was it the True Immortal Realm?”

Su Yun thought to himself.

“This is Lord Yin Mo’s armour. Please offer your worship.”

At this time, the spirit body spoke.

When Su Yun heard this, he nodded. He used the Devil Sect’s etiquette to form a fist with one hand, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head for three breaths of time.

After three breaths, he stood up.

“The ceremony is over.”

“Please leave this place.”

At this moment, the spirit body spoke again.

Su Yun nodded and looked around. He found that the endless devil qi came from this armour. Although he knew that these armours were extraordinary, their devil qi was too strong. They were not something he could control, so he had no choice but to give up.

Devil artefacts were different from ordinary magic treasure. Powerful devil artefacts could easily cause a Spirit Cultivator to lose their sense of self and be gradually devoured by them. A treasure like this could not be touched unless it was powerful.

Su Yun knew this very well. He didn’t have the slightest bit of greed for Yin Mo’s magic treasure. He turned around and walked toward the corridor, preparing to leave.

However, just as he walked out of this place, the sound of a dull growl suddenly sounded from within this empty stone room…
