Chapter 602 Chapter 602 – The Second Catastrophe
The reason why the Qionghua Sword sect did not empty the Sword Tomb was not because they possessed the spirit of sustainable development.
In reality, the Sword Tomb was able to survive until now because it had many restrictions. This was something that the Tengu Sword Sovereign had already considered when he created the Sword Tomb.
To ensure the long-term survival of the Sword Tomb that he left behind, the Sword Sovereign set many restrictions on the Sword Tomb.
For example, those above the Spirit Transformation Stage could not enter the Sword Tomb, and the number of people who could enter each time was limited.
Once too many people entered the Sword Tomb, or if they stayed for too long, the Sword Tomb would turn into a closed place and expel the people inside.
After a period, if the people inside had not left, they would be randomly teleported out of the Sword Tomb. They couldn’t stay for a long time.
This was also one of the reasons why the Sword Tomb could exist for such a long time. Otherwise, this place would have been emptied long ago.
Although the five sects of the Southern Mountain, led by the Qionghua Sword sect, had found the entrance to the sword tomb, they could not ignore the rules of the sword tomb.
Therefore, they could only send their disciples to explore it once every five years. This way, they could steadily obtain some gains.
In the past, it was still fine. No matter how much, they could still obtain some gains.
But this time, it seemed that because of the disciples of the Netherworld Sect, the time when the sword tomb was closed was much earlier.
If the people present did not leave, they would probably be randomly expelled from the Sword Tomb. At that time, where they would end up was not something they could decide.
Thinking of this, even though everyone present was unwilling, they could not do anything about it. They could only reluctantly explore the surroundings. Then, they brought the surviving disciples of the Qionghua Sword Sect and left. They did not continue to explore this place.
Time slowly passed. When the array gate opened and closed again, the Sword Tomb had completely recovered its peace in front of them. Everything was no different from before, as if it had already recovered.
Only the faint smell of blood in the Sword Tomb still proves the people’s existence from before.
And in the area that the people had searched earlier, an ancient sword began to flicker with light, revealing its original form.
This was Chen Heng. After the people in the Sword Tomb had all left, Chen Heng finally completed this transformation and walked to a new level.
He stood where he was, his entire body shining brightly. He was now completely different from the ordinary weapons around him, revealing his original appearance.
After recovering from his transformation, Chen Heng subconsciously raised his head and looked into the sky. There, bolts of lightning flashed. Vaguely, a brand new power seemed to be recovering and about to erupt.
‘Armed Catastrophe…’
Looking at the lightning that flashed across the sky, Chen Heng’s expression was calm. This thought flashed through his mind.
With the continuous transformation and the devouring of the origin, Chen Heng was finally approaching the node again.
He had a premonition that his second Armed Catastrophe would arrive in a short period. This premonition was rarely wrong and could be considered accurate.
However, even though he knew that his Armed Catastrophe was about to arrive, Chen Heng did not panic much. He only looked around and rushed towards various regions.
Although there were no traces of any living beings in the Sword Tomb, the arrival of the cultivators from before had more or less affected and changed this Sword Tomb.
At this moment, there were still corpses in the Sword Tomb. Those corpses were either the cultivators of the Netherworld Sect or the disciples of the Qionghua Sword Sect who had been killed.
Due to the lack of time, the elders of the Qionghua Sword Sect had not had the time to deal with these corpses when they entered the Sword Tomb. They could only let them stay in the Sword Tomb and naturally transform into spirits.
To Chen Heng, these corpses were naturally very precious. After all, he was still in the process of growing up. The Qi Blood and essence in these corpses were very important to him.
Therefore, he spent some time touring the entire sword tomb and finding the corpses, absorbing their essence.
In the vast Sword Tomb, a Heavenly Weapon was in the air, looking for corpses everywhere. If others saw this scene and knew about it, they would probably be shocked.
However, the effect was quite good. For half a month, Chen Heng was in the process of digesting. Using the Heaven Swallowing Scripture to devour the origin would have brought about a bad change.
However, after Chen Heng transformed into the ancient sword body, this change decreased a lot.
Compared to living beings with changeable emotions, the body of the ancient sword was easier to maintain and would not be affected by too many impurities.
The remaining bit of influence was no longer a difficult problem for Chen Heng himself and could be easily solved.
The longsword tore through the air and swept in all directions. As it toured around, the aura on it became stronger and stronger. The scattering of its aura was enough to make the surrounding sword spirits instinctively feel fear and tremble.
After that, another month passed. In mid-air, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended and heavily struck down.
The power of the lightning was enormous. If the power within were completely unleashed, it would probably be comparable to a Second Ring Extraordinary Being. And this was only the beginning
Standing in place, Chen Heng’s true spirit raised its head and looked into the sky. Dark clouds covered the area, and there were bolts of lightning everywhere. One could even vaguely see illusory palaces pressing down in all directions. It was terrifying.
A destructive aura spread in all directions and covered this area. This also indicated what was going to happen next. Chen Heng’s second Armed Catastrophe had finally arrived.
At this moment, less than a year had passed since Chen Heng’s first Armed Catastrophe.
In less than a year, Chen Heng had undergone two transformations consecutively and had to undergo two Armed Catastrophe consecutively.
If such a thing were to be said, no one would dare believe it. However, it had already happened and was right before his eyes.
Chen Heng silently looked at the sky and felt the power of the Armed Catastrophe. Just as he had expected, it was also an Armed Catastrophe. However, his second Armed Catastrophe was much stronger than the previous Heavenly Weapon.
It was the same in all aspects. If Chen Heng was willing, he could have delayed this Armed Catastrophe for a period. However, there was no need for that in Chen Heng’s eyes.
He had already prepared what he needed to prepare. There was no need to continue stalling for time.
Tas no
Rumble!
In mid-air, a bolt of lightning that shook the Sword Tomb descended. It was like a thunder dragon roaring in this place as it ferociously charged towards the sword body below.
Crackling sounds continued to ring out. The lightning continued to fall and hack at the longsword. It was like a relentless hammer of heaven and earth, tempering Chen Heng’s body time and time again, allowing him to be reborn and purify the impurities.
This process was also a transformation process. During the process of the lightning strikes, the nomological power that was originally branded between heaven and earth would also appear. As the Armed Catastrophe continued to fall, it would gradually be branded on the Heavenly Weapon.
It was precisely this nomological power that made the Heavenly Weapon mysterious and unique. It gave them all sorts of unimaginable power.
Chen Heng was silent, silently enduring. Unlike the other Heavenly Weapons that were ignorant during the tribulation, Chen Heng knew the benefits of the Armed Catastrophe. Thus, he did not resist or dodge the entire time.
He just stood there silently. Facing the lightning, he did not dodge. Instead, he faced it calmly, without the slightest hesitation.
The Lightning continued to fall, and the nomological symbols appeared on Chen Heng’s sword. They interweaved into complex patterns like tiny symbols, connecting with the nomological patterns from before.
As time passed, the Armed Catastrophe became even more massive. In the beginning, it was only comparable to a Second Ring lightning bolt, but in the end, each lightning bolt had the strength of a Third Ring lightning bolt.
No matter how well prepared Chen Heng was and how powerful his transformation was, his entire body trembled slightly, and he couldn’t take it anymore.
On the longsword, tiny cracks began to appear, indicating that Chen Heng’s body was beginning to show signs of damage. Chen Heng didn’t care about this. He silently endured it and focused on his transformation, defending his true spirit.
More and more cracks and injuries appeared on Chen Heng’s body as time passed. When the lightning struck, even Chen Heng’s body couldn’t withstand it.
At this moment, the lightning around him became even more terrifying. This lightning would heavily injure even a true Third Ring Extraordinary Being. Chen Heng finally moved. His body began to tremble in the face of such a terrifying Armed Catastrophe. Soon after, his longsword broke through the air and began to move.
An ordinary longsword broke through the air and swept in all directions in the sky. Finally, it charged into the lightning. He had entered the middle of the Armed Catastrophe and was directly baptized by the lightning in that area.
Bolts of lightning continuously struck down. An even more violent attack landed on his body. Chen Heng was unmoved. He silently circulated a portion of his power.
“Soon… soon…”
Feeling the raging lightning around him, Chen Heng muttered to himself. At this moment, all the power in his body was mobilized.
As a former Eighth Ring warrior, Chen Heng had an extraordinary ability to control his own body. At this moment, under this Armed Catastrophe, he keenly sensed that the transformation that belonged to his body was about to arrive.
Therefore, he keenly seized the opportunity and rushed straight into the Armed Catastrophe, undergoing the baptism of lightning
Bolts of lightning fell, and the violent power contained in them was kept in Chen Heng’s movements as much as possible to use his transformation power to enrich his foundation.
A brand-new aura began to appear. If someone were nearby at this moment, they would be able to see the changes in Chen Heng’s body.
Under the crazy tempering and forging of the lightning, a pure golden color appeared on the originally glazed sword on Chen Heng’s body.
This golden color was extremely bright. Even though it was just a tiny bit, it seemed to have a transcendent nature. It was even more unique and outstanding.
