Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 482 - Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower

Chapter 482 Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower

“Oh?” Ding Hao’s eyes lit up. “Could the difficulty of these two conjoined white jade buildings be even above that of the Eight Forbidden Lands?”
Shen Buhui explained with a wry smile, “It’s more, if compared to the challenges of the Eight Forbidden Lands. The courtyards at the forbidden land level, like the White Jade Courtyard, are not even on the same level as the white jade tower. It has its own name and it is called the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower. No one has entered it for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s said that at least 18 outstanding geniuses who had reached the Martial Royal Realm or the peak of the Demon Royal before they were 50 years old have been defeated and killed because they forcefully claimed the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower. Some people call the tower the Mansion of God or the Abyss of Death. Some even see it is a joke made by the ancestors of the Human Clan or the Demon Clan who built the Highest Heaven. Without the cultivation at the Martial Grand Emperor Realm and the Demon Emperor, it is impossible to break its bans. The people who can enter the Sage Battlefield are limited to those below 50 years old for the Human Clan and 500 years old for the Demon Clan. Given those restrictions, there is no possibility for stronger cultivators to emerge here…”
“Could only the strong at the level of the Martial Emperor or the Demon Emperor be able to break the bans?”
Ding Hao became more interested in it.
Of course, he wasn’t interested in testing his capability to break such bans, but such formations was rarely seen in daily life. It was just the right time for him to have a try. Maybe he could gain a lot under the guidance of monsters like the Sabre Master and the Sword Master.
Ding Hao walked toward the white jade tower.
“Hey? Brother Ding, don’t tell me you want… you can’t. Be careful, be careful, Brother Ding…” Shen Buhui yelled.
Lin Tianyu and Wang Linghe also quickly warned Ding Hao not to be careless. It was not a funny game. All the bans in the Highest Heaven were the brainchild of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. Not only did it play a defending role, it also hurt enemies. The feedback force was extremely horrible, and many people suffered serious injuries in the process of forcefully claiming dwellings.
“Hehe, you really don’t know what’s good for you…” Pan Yixin said with an evil smile as he was expecting that something bad would happen to Ding Hao.
Tian Neng, Li Ting, Ai Qing, and others looked worried.
They weren’t qualified to speak, so they had to follow Ding Hao closely and be ready to support him as necessary. Ai Qing in particular could be regarded as Ding Hao’s captive, but he didn’t expect that Ding Hao would have an accident at that time, which would make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Highest Heaven.
No one believed that Ding Hao could break the bans of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower.
Ding Hao himself didn’t believe it, either.
He just wanted to observe it for a while. But his behavior made others think he was taking the initiative to claim the two conjoined white jade towers, which were called the Abyss of Death by Shen Buhui.
Soon, they reached the building.
Looking at those two small towers from a close distance, one would be able to see their extraordinary traits more clearly.
The buildings were akin to a giant sabre and a sword, both crystal clear as jade. They seemed to be God’s weapons, seemingly carved directly out of a jade mountain with great magic. The craftsmanship was exquisite to the extreme, devoid of any flaw. The sword tip and the sabre tip were connected to the ground, and they were about two meters wide. Each of them had a stone door that was also two meters wide. Without any door panels, the openings directly led to the inside. White jade stairs were faintly visible, leading upward. The higher the steps were, the wider they became.
Lin Tianyu, Wang Linghe and the others all felt a sense of suffocation coming from their souls.
It was as if a pair of God’s eyes somewhere above the white jade building were examining Ding Hao and others. They felt like prisoners waiting to be pardoned.
“Meow. I don’t know why I suddenly feel that these two small buildings are very delicious. The white color reminds me of cheese…” Evil Moon, who had been squinting and taking a nap, suddenly became energetic and sized up the small building carefully.
“Ha, ha, ha!” Mengmeng also wagged her tail happily on Li Yiruo’s shoulder.
“Brother Ding, why don’t we go back first…” Shen Buhui tried to persuade Ding Hao again. If he was injured or killed due to recklessness, he would be unable to bear the consequences. After all, it was he who brought Ding Hao to that place.
“It’s all right.”
Ding Hao turned back and smiled.
He discovered a very strange thing.
The extremely terrible Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower that Shen Buhui mentioned had neither the inscription formation to ban nor a Puppet Doll of War to protect. It looked like an unguarded empty building. More importantly, Ding Hao’s sensitive intuition at the realm of A World inside the Body made him feel as if there was something very friendly in the two small buildings, and they were gently calling him…
He was approaching the buildings.
Very soon, he came 20 meters from the small building’s encirclement.
Behind him, everyone’s expressions were different, but they were all extremely nervous.
Then Ding Hao stopped.
The intuition of his A World inside the Body did not tell him of any danger. He released his divine senses as if he were in the outside world. His eyes could even enter the white jade building without any barriers. The legendary powerful bans did not seem to exist, and they could not compare to the suppression force of the primordial inscription in the ancient city military station on the outside. The buildings were just like a garden without any apparent danger.
“Why did it turn out to be like this?”
“Is what Shen Buhui said wrong?”
That shouldn’t be the case. Even Lin Qingyu, Wang Linghe, and Pan Yixin were extremely nervous. It meant that Shen Buhui was not talking nonsense. The buildings known as the Abyss of Death should have some extremely dangerous force, but why did he feel no danger at all? It was as if he were standing in front of his own door.
Ding Hao hesitated.
Was it his feeling wrong, or was the legend wrong?
Or after so many years of incursion, the Source of Death, a place no one had ever been able to enter, had lost its power and all inscription bans had lost their function?
“Should I go in or not?”
“Haha, boy, this is your luck. We didn’t expect that there was such an existence in this place. It was completely set up for you. Don’t hesitate. Go in. I’m sure there will be no danger,” The Saber Master and the Sword Master said with tones of surprise and excitement.
“What is this place? Is there anything special here?” Ding Hao asked in his mind.
“You will know once you go in. It’s not special for others, but you are blessed by God,” The Saber Master paused and said, “Don’t let anyone else go in for the time being. You can only really control this treasure land when you light the red lantern on the roof of the building…”
Hearing what the two old monsters said, Ding Hao suddenly felt relieved.
With one step forward, Ding Hao crossed the 20-meter encirclement.
“Brother Ding…” Shen Buhui exclaimed.
“Brother Ding…” Lin Tianyu and Wang Linghe also yelled.
“Hehe…” Pan Yixin sneered. Beside the ruthlessness, he felt somewhat regretful in his heart, since he could not personally kill that boy. He was sure that Ding Hao would be smashed into pieces by the powerful bans of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower as soon as his first foot landed within the perimeter. The poor man in the Great Grandmaster Realm also wanted to develop the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, which he himself dared not to do. Ding Hao was really courting death.
At the moment when those voices rang out, Ding Hao had resolutely stepped inside.
Kacha!
A crisp sound rang out.
A small piece of gravel on the ground was stepped on.
That weak sound was nothing in normal days, but at that moment, it almost made the hearts of many geniuses and strong masters jump out of their mouths. When they looked over with different expressions, they were surprised to find that nothing had happened, except for the small gravel being crushed.
Ding Hao took a few steps and went to the door of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower very easily.
No flame attack soaring into the sky, no flashing inscription halo, no Puppet Doll of War coming in an instant, no flesh and blood and broken limbs flying everywhere, not even a trace of waves… Nothing had happened. Ding Hao was as relaxed as if he were walking in front of his own house.
“What… what’s going on?”
The power outbreak in their imaginations had not appeared; everyone had questions in their hearts, wondering why their expectations failed to show up.
That was so weird.
Even if Ding Hao had the strength to claim the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, it would take a period of time. Even if he was a Martial Emperor or a Martial Sage, it would still take a little time to break the bans and beat the Puppet Doll of War. And yet, what happened? The inscription bans did not break out, and the Puppet Doll of War did not appear…
It was absolutely abnormal!
“Yiruo, Xiaofan, wait for me here…”
Ding Hao seemed to feel something. He turned around and instructed Li Yiruo and Zhang Fan. Then he slowly lifted his steps and went inside. Step by step, he gradually disappeared on the jade staircase.
Shen Buhui and the others were dumbfounded.
Lin Tianyu and Wang Linghe looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Pan Yixin’s eyeballs almost popped out of his triangular eyes. “That is absolutely impossible. A poor guy with Qi cultivation at the Great Grandmaster Realm walked into the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower without being injured. Nobody has ever entered before, not since the Highest Heaven was established. Were those legends false? Or are there no mansions above the Eight Forbidden Lands at all?”
In a short while, that guy would probably climb to the top of the building and light up the stone lantern.
Pan Yixin could absolutely not stand it.
He had previously said, “If you can claim any of the Eight Forbidden Lands, I’ll call you grandpa.” The words still ringing in his ears. “I didn’t expect that this kid could enter the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower above the Eight Forbidden Lands. This is absolutely a slap in the face. It’s really embarrassing.“
“No, it must be the bans of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower that have already lost their power…” shouted Pan Yixin, completely unwilling. He had suddenly thought of that possibility.
The others were also shocked when they heard that.
“Yes. That’s absolutely possible.”
“I don’t believe that even a little guy in the Great Grandmaster Realm can go in. I’m in the Martial Royal Realm…” Pan Yixin gritted his teeth and felt a struggle in his heart. In the end, he rushed to the tower. He hesitated for a moment; in the end, he stepped across the 20-meter-long encirclement of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower.
All eyes were focused on him.
Clatter!
His foot landed on the ground, but nothing happened.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and then he became ecstatic. He knew that he had made the right bet. Sure enough, the bans had not worked. Anyone could enter the place. The poor guy was just first to be lucky.
Pan Yixin couldn’t suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He couldn’t help but raise his head and laugh. “Hahaha, Just as I said. That boy is just lucky. He is as lucky as a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat. Hahaha, I will kill him and then I’ll light up the stone lantern in the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower. I will be the first person…”
Before his voice had died away—
Something strange happened.
“Boom!”
It was as if a sleeping deity had been awakened.
A majestic and despairing power suddenly burst out without any warning, as if a giant beast from the ancient times had opened its bloody mouth, or like an angry God delivering a divine punishment. The leg Pan Yixin had introduced in the perimeter was suddenly turned into blood fog with a bang, and then the red fog quickly disappeared in the air like ice and snow in magma.
He was sent flying backward, convulsing as if he had been struck by lightning.
“Puff!”
The blood gushed out of his mouth like a fountain.
“How… could it be…? Why… could it be like this…?” Pan Yixin’s face was bleeding, and his expression was terrifying. His eyes were full of disbelief and unwillingness. He roared intermittently and fell to the ground. He twitched; an arm that was reaching out to the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower finally fell down powerlessly, then he vomited blood and passed out.
The whole place was completely silent.
Shen Buhui, Ling Tianyu, Wang Linghe, Li Yiruo, Zhang Fan, Ai Qing, and the others were completely stunned, as if they were playing a god-to-be game. They all opened their mouths wide, as if swallowing a duck’s egg. They had completely lost the ability to think, and couldn’t understand what was happening before them.
What on earth happened?
Where did that power come from?
What kind of power was that?
“It could defeat someone as strong as Pan Yixin in an instant? Someone at the Martial Emperor Realm?”
Looking up again at the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, everything was calm as if nothing had happened. At that moment, the power that was strong enough to tear up the world disappeared without a trace. If Pan Yixin had not been lying on the ground, vomiting blood like a dead dog, everyone would have thought that it was all an illusion…
Ding Hao was unscathed.
Pan Yixin was seriously injured and passed out.
The stark contrast clearly explained to everyone that Ding Hao did not rely on luck to enter the tower; he did it by relying on some unknown means. The legend of the tower was absolutely true, and its bans were not invalid, but still as powerful as it was said in the legend… No, it was even stronger and more terrible than what the legends told!
“Ding Hao, how did he do it?”
In the next moment, a red faint light emerged from the top of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower.
He had succeeded in lighting up the lantern.
Ding Hao appeared on the top stairs of two small conjoined buildings.
“He… did it… He did it…” Lin Tianyu murmured like a fool. His mind was blank. He couldn’t understand how Ding Hao did it. He had walked into the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower known as the Abyss of Death so easily.
Wang Linghe was also in a state of confusion.
It made him think that Ding Hao’s relaxing entrance seemed to show that the ancient building full of mystery and horror had been dust-covered and waiting for Ding Hao alone, but closed to others for thousands of years. When the right person showed up at the right time, everything looked simple. Pan Yixin tried to break in like a farcical clown, and the final result also proved that the mystery of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower was definitely not simple. If someone forcibly seized the luck, it would be counterproductive.
Shen Buhui, who had been in a daze for a long time, was already trembling at that time.
He was excited.
He really didn’t expect that he would ever meet a super master who could claim the tower. Actually he had just showed up to get to know Ding Hao out of impulse. What happened was shocking; the news would surely shake the whole Highest Heaven, the whole Sage Battlefield and the entire Northern Region. Ding Hao’s name would become a shining and hot topic for time to come.
Such a person should be a friend of his now, shouldn’t he?
Shen Buhui suddenly felt a little nervous. He had said that he didn’t trust Ding Hao’s strength… he didn’t make Ding Hao unhappy, did he?
The fat cat, Evil Moon, curled up on Li Yiruo’s shoulder. Just then, when Ding Hao entered the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, he didn’t take Evil Moon as advised by the Saber Master and the Sword Master, which made the fat cat very dissatisfied. Seeing that, he just curled his lips and said disdainfully, “Hum, it’s just going into a small dusty building. What’s so great about it…”
“Hahaha!” Mengmeng jumped happily.
Li Yiruo’s mouth was full of smiles. For her, everything was within her expectation.
Ai Qing, Tian Neng and the others were excited and immensely happy. They were Ding Hao’s servants, and it was also glorious for them. What could be certain was that when the future generation remembered that period of history, their names would be recorded at the same time. They accompanied Ding Hao to enter the Highest Heaven and went with him to the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower…
The faint red glow above was slowly emitted through the stone lantern.
The light seemed to have a magical power that was emitted little by little. Like a sharp sword, it pierced through the dim space of the Seventh Heaven like strands of substance, soon spreading all over the Seventh Heaven area. It even cut through the hard ground and was transmitted to the Sixth and Fifth Heaven below…
Soon, the Seventh Heaven and the space below it were completely illuminated by the red light.
A strange rhythm and throbbing began to spread throughout the entire giant city of the Highest Heaven.
In that place, everyone felt as if there was something extremely terrifying that was awakening bit by bit.
The flowing light in the air was flashing, and the strong Qi aura was approaching from afar.
In the next moment, more than a dozen figures appeared at the bottom of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower almost at the same time. It was only then that the sound of breaking through the air could be heard. It could be seen how fast those people were. Some of them were masters of the Human Clan, and some of the Demon Clan. All of them were super geniuses in the Martial Emperor Realm who had built their residences in the Seventh Heaven. At the moment, they no longer had any confidence. All of them looked up at the young figure at the top of the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower with surprise on their faces!
“What happened?”
“Has anyone entered the Abyss of Death?”
“Who is it? Why is he a stranger?”
“How is this possible?”
The commander-level geniuses of the two clans in the Northern Region did not hide their surprise at all.
One of them was short and chubby, like a meatball. He had a cute appearance and a pair of protruding ears. He looked very simple and honest. Looking around, he saw Lin Tianyu and Wang Linghe. He waved his hand and said, “Brother Twelve and Nine, you’re also here? Tell me, what’s going on?”
“Elder brother…” Only then did Lin Tianyu come to his senses. As he approached, he was a little out of sorts. “Elder brother, you’re here too. It’s Ding Hao… He managed to claim the tower successfully. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s really weird…” He smiled bitterly, and told him about the situation in detail.
“In fact, it’s not just the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower,” Wang Linghe said with a bitter smile, “During the journey, we just found that the Optimus Ancient Courtyard and the White Jade Courtyard in the Eight Forbidden Lands have been claimed. I don’t know whether they’re talents from the Human Clan or the Demon Clan… Of course, compared with the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, it’s nothing…”
The last sentence shocked everyone.
As they looked back, only then did they realize that the stone lantern at the entrance of the Optimus Ancient Courtyard and the White Jade Courtyard behind them had indeed been lit. They didn’t know when they had been lit; their light was gentle and beautiful, like stars in the dark night.
All of a sudden, the faces of the geniuses from the two clans became a little embarrassed.
That meant that they were outclassed.
At that moment—
“Humph, is it nothing compared to the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower?” An arrogant voice, as if irritated, came from the White Jade Courtyard in the distance, with a magnificent and uncontrollable force. In the blink of an eye the voice reached everyone’s ears.
In the next moment, a green flame of light shot over and heavily bombarded on the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower.
“The mysterious existence who claimed the White Jade Courtyard attacked the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower?”
“Was he irritated by Wang Linghe’s last words?”
“Boom!”
When the powerful green flame hit in the 20-meter perimeter of the tower, with a fierce shock, an invisible light shield appeared and easily blocked that attack. The green flame was scattered like a cluster of green smoke.
It was a Demon Aura!
An extremely stagnant Demon Aura!
Only then did the crowd realize that the mysterious existence who had claimed the White Jade Courtyard was actually a super genius from the Demon Clan.
“He dares to attack the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, isn’t he a little too bold?”
A moment after, with a snort, the green light flashed and a green figure directly flew out of the White Jade Courtyard. In a flash, he showed up before them. Without saying a word, he pushed out his palms and directly rushed into the 20-meter perimeter of the tower!
