The moment Dugu Half-Saint and Lin Yi arrived at this place, the numerous Ancient Swords within the Ancient Sword Tomb began to tremble all at once.
They emitted a fierce resonance.
It seemed as if they were responding to the presence of Dugu Half-Saint, the Sword Dao Half-Saint.
"Here lies the Ancient Sword Tomb."
Having brought Lin Yi into the Ancient Sword Tomb, Dugu Half-Saint then turned to Lin Yi and said, "As you can see, countless renowned swords from ancient times are buried here, but these swords have all reached the end of their lifespan."
"What remains are only the residual Sword Intent Fragments and Sword Dao Rule Fragments."
Lin Yi nodded. As a talented Sword Cultivator, from the moment he had stepped into the Sword Tomb, he had already felt the extraordinary nature of this place.
Sword Intent and Sword Dao rules were of vital importance to a Sword Cultivator.
They could greatly enhance a Sword Cultivator’s strength.
Although all that remained in the Sword Tomb were incomplete fragments of Sword Intent and Sword Dao rules, the accumulation of these fragments could still benefit Sword Cultivators immensely.
Lin Yi was very tempted and, without any hesitation, sat down on the spot.
He began to activate the Chaos Sword Body Technique, absorbing the surrounding Sword Intent and Sword Dao Rule Fragments.
At first, nothing unusual happened around Lin Yi.
But as strands of Sword Intent Fragments and Sword Dao Rule Fragments entered Lin Yi’s body, his meat body seemed to be activated, like a peerless Divine Weapon unleashing a terrifying sharpness.
This sharpness directly alarmed the entire Ancient Sword Tomb, causing countless ancient swords to quiver and hum.
"This kid actually has a Sword Body, and it’s the legendary, supreme Chaos Sword Body!"
"What, Chaos Sword Body? That’s a sacred body of Sword Cultivators that existed only in Ancient Times. To think it has re-emerged in a junior?"
"This junior currently only possesses the strength of the Sealed Marquis Realm. While he’s still weak, we should control his mind and take his Chaos Sword Body for ourselves!"
A series of sharp and eerie voices suddenly echoed within the Sword Tomb, like the speech of ghosts, chilling to the bone.
At the same time, above each Ancient Sword, clouds of black mist began to rise—these sinister and frightening voices were coming from these clouds of mist.
The clouds of black mist, like mosquitoes drawn to delicious flesh, surged from all directions towards Lin Yi, as if they wanted to devour Lin Yi’s body on the spot!
Seeing Lin Yi enter a state of cultivation, Dugu Half-Saint was about to leave when he suddenly sensed the abnormality of the Sword Tomb. His gaze fell on Lin Yi just in time to catch the clouds of black mist that were about to emit a sharp laughter, engulfing Lin Yi’s body.
Dugu Half-Saint’s expression changed, and he immediately shouted sternly. With a slash of his sword, he dispersed the clouds of black mist.
Then, Dugu Half-Saint looked towards the dispersed black mist in the air and said solemnly, "This young friend Xu Qing is an honored guest of my Unrivaled Sacred City. I would ask the seniors here to show some mercy."
These mists were the obsessions of some powerful Sword Cultivators from history, who had left them behind with their treasure swords, buried within this Ancient Sword Tomb.
Over time, these obsessions had evolved into special entities within the Ancient Sword Tomb.
However, these Thought Bodies rarely appeared en masse, so they didn’t pose much of a threat to those who entered the Sword Tomb.
But now, they were all converging on Lin Yi, and even though they had no physical form, a collective attack could cause severe damage to Lin Yi’s mind, leading to a catastrophic deviation in his cultivation!
"Dugu Half-Saint, this kid is a Chaos Sword Body, a sacred body of Sword Cultivators from Ancient Times. How can we remain indifferent?"
"Step aside quickly, or do not blame us for being impolite to you!"
The Thought Bodies seemed to have lost their reason and became incredibly frenzied under Lin Yi’s allure.
Dugu Half-Saint’s expression altered slightly, and then he looked at Lin Yi with surprise. He had read brief mentions of the Chaos Sword Body in the annals of Unrivaled Sword City, but even those brief mentions had left a deep impression on him.
For in the records of Unrivaled Sword City, there were only eight words: Chaos Sword Body, undefeated through the ages!
A Chaos Sword Body did not appear easily. Once it did, it meant that throughout the ages, it would be without equal.
This record might have exaggerated the power of the Chaos Sword Body, but it also reflected the terror of it.
To think that this youth from Heavenly Sword Holy Land was actually a Chaos Sword Body?
But these words came from the mouths of the Thought Bodies in the Ancient Sword Tomb, and they couldn’t be false.
"The Chaos Sword Body, heralded as unbeaten through all ages, appearing in this era, is even less likely to have any rivals."
Dugu Half-Saint stared at Lin Yi in shock, his eyes as if seeing a monster. "It’s probable that not even a few individuals in the cloud of geniuses in Central Province can compare, right?"
The physique that dominated an era in Ancient Times, once it grows, its achievements—truly unimaginable.
