Chapter 172 Entering The Ancient Sword Tomb
"Their spirit boat is about to touch that strange formation!"
Even before these two people came here, the Holy Son of the Shining Star and others had actually been here once.
They had also heard some famous legends in the Extreme Sword Universe.
But when they arrived here, they keenly discovered that there was a strange formation surrounding the Sword Mound.
The accompanying formation masters did not have the ability to decipher this formation, and they did not dare to forcefully destroy it, fearing that such destruction would also damage what was inside.
At a loss, the Holy Son of the Shining Star received news from the twin wives of Jian Tianming, who had been turned against, that they wanted to come here and try their luck.
So they followed behind these twin wives, hoping to see if they had any way to enter.
In front of the strange formation, their spirit boat quickly stopped.
"Elder, elder!"
The two sisters used their spiritual power to spread their voices into the Sword Mound, but there was no response from inside.
Thinking about it, if people could be called out just by shouting, it would be too simple.
The Holy Son of the Shining Star and others patiently watched.
"Elder! Jian Tianming sent us here, he said he had received your help here before! Now the Extreme Sword Universe is facing a life and death crisis, and we hope to get your help!"
"Yes, elder, now the Immortal Domain has invaded our Extreme Sword Universe on a large scale, causing countless lives to suffer!"
They talked about how excessive the Immortal Domain was, but after talking for a long time, there was still no response from the Sword Mound.
As they spoke, a trace of despair appeared on their faces.
Throwing a pebble into the sea can still create a small splash.
But their voices entered, and there was no response at all.
"We can only try to go in."
"I heard that anyone who goes in will be devoured, even their own spiritual swords will become part of it."
"We can only try if the things Tianming gave us are useful."
The two sisters glanced at each other, both seeing the helplessness and determination in each other's eyes.
They had been forced into a dead end, with no choice but to go in and find out.
The two of them piloted the spirit boat and immediately were devoured by the formation.
"We can't see what's inside, the formation can block our observation."
"Let's wait here for a while, if it doesn't work... we can only share a piece of the pie with other forces."
The Holy Son of the Shining Star gazed at the Sword Mound floating in the universe and said.
After the Immortal Domain attacked the Extreme Sword Universe, some forces with Dao Realm had already made agreements.
Resources were obtained based on regions, and no one was allowed to enter another person's territory at will.
How much one could obtain depended on luck and strength.
No matter how good the things in someone else's territory were, they couldn't go over and take a share.
The Sword Mound was in the territory of the alliance organized by the Holy Son of the Shining Star.
Therefore, the Holy Son of the Shining Star was not willing to give up the hidden treasures here.
But if they still couldn't find a way to enter, he could only find a way to ask for help from forces outside the alliance.
By then, the good things would also have to be forced to be shared a little.
"That's all we can do."
...
In the ancient sword tomb.
The spirit boat entered and was immediately engulfed by the formation, annihilated.
However, the hands of the two tightly held onto the hilt of the same short sword, not being swallowed by the formation, but smoothly passing through and arriving here.
Just like the outside, the interior of the ancient sword tomb is also a black void, countless swords floating like rootless duckweed, each emitting a very faint aura.
They were once glorious, but now they can only slowly fade away in this silent tomb.
"I already know your purpose... but I am powerless against these invading outsiders."
The old voice, as if crossing millions of years of history, possessed an immense power, but the words spoken were incredibly cold, making the hearts of the two sisters feel a chill.
The mysterious senior they regarded as their lifeline, is also powerless?
"How is that possible, senior! Tianming said... Tianming said you might be the strongest person in this universe. If even you are powerless, then who can help us?"
"...I don't know either. But their power is indeed too strong, and I can only barely protect myself within this formation."
"But... but..."
The two sisters were still unwilling.
They were so eager for someone to be able to save this universe, to support the collapsing building.
But...
It all seemed like an unattainable dream, distant and elusive.
"I have nothing that can help you. My power is also limited. If you need it, you can bring someone here, and I might be able to protect you for a while..."
After a moment of silence, the old voice spoke again, brightening the eyes of the two sisters.
Although they still couldn't save this universe, it seemed like a decent backup plan.
"In that case, senior, is there really no way for us to defeat them? Are their powers truly that strong?"
The two sisters still felt unwilling.
"...They don't completely lack the ability to fight. If Tianming's understanding of swordsmanship can reach a new level, break through to a completely new realm, then he will possess the power to counterattack.
His current strength, in that distant immortal realm, can only be considered a relatively powerful expert. But if he can reach a higher level, he will be a top-tier expert! Anyone would respect him, but breaking through to that realm is basically impossible."
A distant sigh seemed to come from afar, lamenting the tragic fate of the Extreme Sword Universe.
The two sisters exchanged glances, at a loss.
Reach a higher level?
Tianming's current strength is already unparalleled in the entire history of the Extreme Sword Universe.
Except for some individuals who cannot be found in any legends, no one is stronger than Tianming.
If he were to reach an even higher level on top of that...
Then Tianming would truly become a legendary figure without equal.
Because it would open up a completely new realm!
But isn't that too difficult?
"Senior, is there any way to help Tianming break through?"
"I am powerless. You should go back. Whether you come here for refuge is entirely up to your own wishes. This is all I can do."
The two sisters knew that there was no point in staying any longer, so they had to obey the owner of this voice and leave.
