Chapter 2169: Chapter 967: First Strike at Eternal, Shocking Changes in Sword Tomb_2

Ten thousand years later.

A new Eternal entered this sword, and he continued his search. Another three thousand years passed, and he sensed a vast disturbance resonating from afar. His heart stirred, and he approached slowly.

As he drew near, his expression grew heavier because he discovered that the disturbance ahead far exceeded his own power.

"This is an Eternal Cultivator at the Sealed King level fighting fiercely."

His speed slowed even further; he was unwilling to get caught in the crossfire of Sealed Emperor level Eternals. If he were to perish here, his Netherworld Fire Divine Spear and the newly acquired Divine Sword of Ti Xi would be lost.

And every strike from a Sealed Emperor Eternal’s might would definitely far surpass his own, so he dared not get too close.

A moment later, he stopped, seeing four figures battling in front of him, and in the center of their conflict, a Divine Sword stood high in the sky. This sword wasn’t massive, only about ten zhang tall, yet it floated in the sky, seemingly showcasing its most powerful ’existence.’

Han Yi’s expression changed drastically when he discovered that the four battling Sealed Emperor level Eternals seemed highly abnormal. Their state appeared quite frenzied, almost fervent.

In the depths of the moment, he sensed a wave spreading from the Divine Sword, leading the four Sealed Emperor Eternals to fight even harder, with blood raining down from the sky.

"No good, this sword is an evil sword."

"Those four Emperors are influenced by it, engulfed in a frenzied battle."

With this thought, Han Yi turned to flee, breaking out in a cold sweat.

During his escape, he continuously saw more Eternal Cultivators heading toward the disturbance. And at a distance, he witnessed a fifth Eternal directly intervene in the Sealed Emperor battle. The key point was that this fifth cultivator was merely a Sealed King Eternal, and as soon as he struck, he was blasted apart by the Sealed Emperor level Eternals.

His splintered body and Divine Weapon fell below, where some unseen aura flickered past.

Han Yi followed the gaze downward and discovered, unbeknownst to him, that the bottom wasn’t an ordinary Sword Tomb but a vast and peculiar dark Array that his Divine Thoughts couldn’t probe.

The fallen Eternal Cultivator’s body and Divine Weapon were devoured by this dark Array.

Inwardly horrified, he fled even faster.

He now realized that when he had approached earlier, part of his will wanted to see what was happening here, while another part was definitely influenced by Formlessness.

"What kind of evil sword is this, capable of confusing four Emperors and even devouring Eternal Cultivators?"

"Too terrifying."

Han Yi fled, exploring in another direction.

But after two thousand years, upon leaving a Sword Tomb, he encountered an Eternal Cultivator driven insane who attacked him. After evading this Eternal, he encountered another. Shocked, he sensed on these two Cultivators the aura from two thousand years ago when he encountered the evil sword.

"That evil sword can control Eternal Cultivators?"

"The Sword Tomb is no place to stay."

If they were ordinary Eternals or Sealed Marquis or King, he wouldn’t fear them, but that evil sword could control Sealed Emperor level Cultivators. If he encountered such Cultivators, his only option would be to flee, uncertain if he would escape.

Thus, the danger of this Sword Tomb had now surpassed its fortune.

But over the next few millennia, Han Yi encountered more and more crazed Cultivators, and on one occasion, he encountered a Sealed Emperor level Cultivator. Luckily this Sealed Emperor was chasing another Sealed Emperor and only incidentally impacted Han Yi, not specifically targeting him. Even so, he suffered considerable injury.

Five thousand years later.

The Sword Tomb reopened according to its ten-thousand-year cycle, and Han Yi, along with a large group of Cultivators who escaped the chase, fled with over a dozen Sealed Emperor Cultivators.

Han Yi’s position was in the middle, his gaze falling on the cultivator at the forefront, quickly moving without daring to linger.

"Emperor Li Tian."

"He actually came to the Sword Tomb. Indeed, the appearance of the Sword Tomb attracted many Eternals, and even most Sealed Emperor Cultivators came. It’s normal for him to come here after leaving the Demon Star Sea."

Han Yi restrained his chaotic thoughts, following the Cultivators in their escape through a rift that could only be maintained for the blink of an eye.

Outside.

The gathered Cultivators in the vicinity intended to enter the Sword Tomb to seek fortune, but seeing this scene, they were terrified. Even two Sealed Emperor Cultivators who arrived from afar didn’t dare to enter.

"What happened in the Sword Tomb for so many Eternals to choose to leave."

"Something’s wrong; best to observe and not easily enter."

"That’s Emperor Jiuxu; how did he get injured? There must be something in the Sword Tomb capable of threatening Sealed Emperor Eternals."

After escaping the Sword Tomb, Han Yi prepared to leave but abruptly halted, looking back, as did other Eternals.

"That is..."

The Cultivators were shocked by the fact that this time, upon opening a rift in the Sword Tomb, the rift didn’t disappear after a moment but gradually expanded, forming a gigantic spatial tear. At the other end of the space was the Sword Tomb.

Through the rift, one could see the boundless Sword Tomb, unchanged from before.

"The Sword Tomb has undergone a new transformation. Is it a blessing or a curse?"

"Let’s quietly observe the change."

After the Sword Tomb changed, the rift became enormous. A Sealed Emperor Eternal who had been about to enter couldn’t resist any longer and darted into the rift.

Every Eternal who could attain the Sealing Emperor level had absolute confidence in themselves and had gathered numerous fortunes and marvelous encounters in their cultivation career. Thus, they deeply knew that what might be dangerous for others could be an opportunity for them.

But in less than half a two-hour, this Sealed Emperor Eternal escaped, bleeding.

After fleeing the Sword Tomb, he left without uttering a word and headed toward the Thousand Illusions Fall Evil Zone in Six Desires Starfall Zone.

Upon witnessing this, Han Yi adjusted his position, moving even further from the rift in the Sword Tomb as did the other Eternals.

Hours later, another Sealed Emperor entered, returning with a terrified expression. This Eternal spread the information he saw, causing an uproar among everyone.

"In the Sword Tomb, an evil sword has awakened, controlling the entire Sword Tomb, turning it into a massive sinister Sword Formation, trapping those unable to escape inside to become the evil sword’s Sword Slaves."

Han Yi’s heart trembled greatly. He hadn’t expected the evil sword he saw long ago to have taken control of the entire Sword Tomb, and the Array that devoured Eternals and Divine Weapons could spread throughout the Sword Tomb.

"Enough, the fortune of this Sword Tomb has already granted me a Divine Sword, which should suffice."

"That evil sword is terrifying; it can enslave even Sealed Emperors. Staying here won’t bring any benefits."

After some thought, Han Yi no longer hesitated and headed toward the Ten Thousand Dao Ascension Zone, returning to the Tianhe Chaos Realm to continue his cultivation.

Two thousand years later, news from the Tao Spirit channel reached his Tao Body in the Tianhe Chaos Realm.

Upon receiving this message, Han Yi was stunned for a long time.

"The Sword Tomb, after a thousand years of dormancy, has begun to expand rapidly, enlarging to a range equivalent to a Holy Origin Land."

"And three hundred years ago, even the Master of Wangchuan Ruins, the Wangchuan Dominator, couldn’t subdue this Sword Tomb."

Han Yi was shocked.

The Wangchuan Ruins are one of the four Holy Origin Lands in the Six Desires Starfall Zone, its power on par with the Wuxiang Bone Court. Surprised that even the dominator of this Holy Origin Land failed to pose a threat to the Sword Tomb.

"Fortunately, the Sword Tomb isn’t in the Ten Thousand Dao Ascension Zone but in the Six Desires Starfall Zone, far from the Tianhe Chaos Realm. There’s no immediate threat."

Han Yi glanced at another piece of news, his gaze altering.

"Emperor Li Tian left the Sword Tomb and returned to the Demon Star Sea in the Thousand Illusions Fall Evil Zone."

"It seems he gained much in the Sword Tomb and continued to refine his Li Tian Emperor Sword, showing no sign of trouble for the Tao Spirits."

Han Yi had seen Emperor Li Tian from afar in the Sword Tomb, understanding how frightening the Tao Might radiating from the Great Emperor was. If encountered, survival would be nearly impossible.

And the news mentioning this deadly adversary, now reclusive in the Demon Star Sea, turned out to be favorable for the Tao Spirits.
