Chapter 598 Chapter 598 – Reawakening of the Ancient Sword
“What’s going on?”
Standing on the spot, Xiao Han looked at the scene around him and couldn’t help but be stunned. “Why… is there an Armed Catastrophe?”
Boom!
At this moment, the surroundings were roaring, and all kinds of sounds resounded in the air. There was a brilliant explosion of lightning, bringing with it a destructive and terrifying power.
Even if one didn’t deliberately feel it, one could understand the terrifying power contained within it.
The Armed Catastrophe was similar to the cultivator’s Heavenly Catastrophe. It was also a trial and tribulation that came from heaven and earth. One must pass it before continuing the cultivation. If one did not pass it, the consequences would be obvious.
At this moment, the lightning in front was so powerful. The strength of the Armed Catastrophe was something that Xiao Han could not imagine.
How could such a terrifying Armed Catastrophe come at this time?
“Is it because of the Heavenly Weapon?”
Xiao Han turned around and looked at the longsword in Song Qingruo’s hand. Then, he suddenly understood.
The Armed Catastrophe would only fall on Weapon Spirits. The massive Armed Catastrope in front of him naturally couldn’t be because of Xiao Han and Song Qingruo but aimed at that divine weapon.
It was indeed so. In Song Qingruo’s hand, the golden longsword emitted a brilliant light, and rays of resplendent light blossomed from within, directly meeting the lightning in mid-air.
On the sword’s body, there were even many symbols dancing about, flickering at this moment. This was the sign of the Catastrophe.
“It’s a Heavenly Weapon undergoing the Catastrophe!”
Xiao Han was instantly horrified. “Something’s Wrong!”
He raised his head and looked at the flickering lightning in all directions. From what he could feel, the lightning was falling from all directions. However, that area covered him and Song Qingruo as well.
What was going on? Xiao Han was already stunned. He did not understand what was going on before his eyes.
The Armed Catastrophe was only targeted at the Weapon Spirit, but he and Song Qingruo were actual living beings. Why was the Armed Catastrophe covering them as well?
He was puzzled, and this thought flashed through his mind subconsciously. However, before his eyes, the lightning had already descended. Bolts of lightning struck down in all directions.
The lightning was so powerful that each bolt of lightning seemed to be able to blow up a mountain, causing the surrounding terrain to change and have a permanent effect.
The power within was something that Xiao Han was unable to contend with. The thunderbolts in the surroundings fell with a rumble, but they were blocked by the brand new power and were unable to truly land.
That was Song Qingruo. At this critical moment, she had finally made her move. From the start, she had used a terrifying power to crush the surrounding area, turning it into her unique sword domain to resist the Armed Catastrophe in the air.
The Heavenly Weapon’s light and shadow flickered in her hand, and the power within was also being unleashed. Song Qingruo had pushed it to the limit, and it was currently resisting the lightning in all directions.
In the distance, the old man’s figure appeared, staring at this place. He looked at Song Qingruo’s figure holding the divine weapon and couldn’t help but smile. “As expected of a sword body rarely seen in a thousand years. It indeed can awaken the Heavenly Weapon.
“Unfortunately…”
He looked at the thunderbolts that were getting more violent in the sky. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a little regretful and proud. “No matter how strong your combat strength is, no matter how strong your sword body is, it doesn’t matter.
“Under this Armed Catastrophe, all of you will turn into ashes.
“After you die and the Armed Catastrophe dissipates, this Heavenly Weapon will eventually fall into the hands of our Netherworld Sect.”
He smiled and then silently retreated, far away from the scene in front of him. The Armed Catastrophe was still ongoing, and its momentum was too great. It was much more terrifying than the old man had imagined. Such a great Armed Catastrophe was already above the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Even if it were him, if he were to collide with it, he would probably not be able to endure it. It was better to stay away and avoid it for his safety.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Then, he kept retreating and found a more distant position to observe from afar.
Time continued to pass. Lightning kept falling in front of Xiao Han as he rushed toward Song Qingruo.
A huge power burst out. On the high platform, Song Qingruo held a longsword and waved it as if there was no one else around. Her appearance was exquisite and cold, and her figure was also beautiful.
At this moment, she was waving the longsword as if she was performing a sword dance. It was exceptionally beautiful and pleasing to the eye. However, the killing intent that was revealed was both terrifying and terrifying. The killing intent was awe-inspiring as it lurked in all directions.
Song Qingruo continued to wield her sword, but abnormalities began to appear on her body. Specks of crimson blood began to fall. For some reason, a piece of flesh exploded, creating a crimson wound that dyed her sleeves red, adding some poignant beauty to the scene.
In response to this, song Qing acted as if she didn’t feel anything. Her longsword danced, and her posture was extremely graceful. However, Xiao Han could feel that Song Qingruo was about to be unable to hold on any longer.
Her strength was indeed tyrannical, and her innate sword body could be said to be invincible among those of the same level. However, the Armed Catastrophe before them still exceeded the scope of what she could deal with.
This Armed Catastrophe had already surpassed the Spirit Transformation Stage and reached a higher dimension. Even if Song Qingruo had a Heavenly Weapon in her hand, she would not be able to handle it.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Xiao Han’s heart was filled with despair. As he sensed the lightning constantly falling around him, his heart trembled.
He was only an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator. Facing the scene in front of him, it was already pretty good that he could still stand.
From where he stood, he could feel the changes in his surroundings. He could feel that the originally stable sword domain was becoming unstable, beginning to shrink. It seemed like it was unable to hold on.
If this continued, the outcome would most likely be decided. They were most likely destined to die here.
“I’m not done yet!”
Thinking of so, Xiao Han raised his head and looked at the lightning in the sky. His face revealed a strong sense of unwillingness.
He had already obtained the ancient sword. As long as he left this place, he would have a bright future. He could reach the Spirit Transformation Stage or even a higher level in the future.
But now, he was going to die here? Turn into a pile of ashes? He was unwilling to accept it.
As if it could feel the intense fluctuations in Xiao Han’s heart, a golden Power of Destiny started to burn on his body, affecting the surroundings.Under the influence of the Power of Destiny, the surrounding energy fluctuated and gradually changed.
In the air, the lightning was still the same. There weren’t many changes. Xiao Han just stood there, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked at the ancient sword tightly held in his hand, his face full of reluctance.
But in the end, he still took a deep breath, and then he threw the ancient sword in the direction of Song Qingruo.
“Senior Song, take this sword!”
He threw the ancient sword in his hand in Song Qingruo’s direction and then shouted. The ancient sword rushed forward rapidly and arrived in front of Song Qingruo.
Song Qingruo’s body paused. She stretched out her other arm and grabbed the ancient sword with great precision at the critical moment. Then, a brand-new power emerged from the ancient sword and was sensed by Song Qingruo.
mo
“This sword…”
Song Qingruo suddenly woke up and looked at the ancient sword in her hand with a shocked expression. Before this, she hadn’t sensed it because she hadn’t sensed it personally.
However, at this moment, as the ancient sword entered her hand, the sword in her body automatically sensed the enormous power hidden under the ancient sword.
It was a terrifying power that she had never felt before. It surpassed everything and shocked Song Qingruo.
In the air, the Armed Catastrophe was still ongoing. The power contained within it already made Song Qingruo feel terrifying. It was the greatest crisis she had ever encountered in her life. Even the power contained within the Armed Catastrophe couldn’t be compared to the ancient sword in her hand.
What level of divine weapon was this? Song Qingruo was shocked, and this thought flashed through her mind.
However, at this moment, taking advantage of the moment when Song Qingruo was in a daze, the lightning in the sky had already descended once again.
Compared to before, the lightning this time was even more terrifying. The power contained within it far surpassed all the previous attacks. If it landed, the entire secret land would probably be wiped out by the power contained in it and disappear without a trace.
At this time, there was no time to think. Standing on the spot, feeling the threat of death, Song Qingruo took a deep breath. Then, following the guidance that appeared in her heart, she exerted force with her arm and threw the ancient sword in her hand into the air.
The ancient sword broke through the air. Under everyone’s gaze, it instantly rushed toward the lightning bolt.
“What is she doing?”
Watching Song Qingruo’s actions, the old man secretly observing from afar frowned. He was a little puzzled. “An ordinary mortal weapon?”
He carefully sensed the power contained in the ancient sword, and then he couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Because in his senses, the ancient sword that Song Qingruo threw out was only an ordinary mortal weapon. It was almost everywhere in the Sword Tomb, so nothing strange about it.
What use could Song Qingruo throw out such an ordinary weapon at such a crucial moment?
“Is she out of her bag of tricks?”
In the end, he could only come to this conclusion. He sneered and continued to look forward, prepared to watch the fall of a generational talent.
However, very quickly, a scene that shocked him happened. The ancient sword soared into the sky and rushed into the air. In an instant, it disappeared completely, as if it didn’t cause any movement, not even a ripple.
But soon, an aura began to appear. A faint light blossomed and was surging, enveloping the surroundings. The golden light was like sunlight, illuminating the earth exceptionally brightly.
As everyone raised their heads, they were all stunned. At the center of the lightning, a sun began to appear in mid-air.
“A sun?”
The old man was stunned. Why was there a sun in the Sword Tomb? This Sword Tomb was a secret realm created by the Tengu Sword Sovereign. There was no sun or moon.
The reason why there was day and night was only the result of the intertwining of vitality. But now, a sun appeared out of thin air in the Sword Tomb that was not supposed to have a sun.
What was going on? Everyone present was stunned. Their eyes could not help but look forward, staring at the sun.
Under their gaze, the golden sun revealed its form. It was an ancient sword. It had turned into a sun. Its light illuminated the Sword Tomb, turning the surroundings into its domain.
Even the terrifying Armed Catastrophe in the sky seemed tiny and insignificant under the sun.
Looking at this scene, everyone present was stunned.
