Chapter 379 - 379: Immortal Sword, Ten Thousand Mountains
As the Ancient Sinister Sword, the Broken Corpse Eye was consumed by the Dharma Idol of the immortal sword.
Lu Yuan could easily feel that an illusory immortal sword Dharma Idol had appeared on his spiritual altar.
This Dharma Idol was precisely the Immortal Trapping Sword.
Although this Dharma Idol was not yet complete and didn’t contain much sword intent, it was still a beginning.
However, the foundation had been laid.
The four Ancient Immortal Swords in the Celestial Eradication Sword Array were the Immortal Piercing Sword, Immortal Piercing Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Vanquishing Sword.
Lu Yuan had already mastered the first three to some extent.
Among them, the Immortal Piercing Sword could already manifest in a tangible form.
The Immortal Piercing Sword seemed like it could also be partially materialized after absorbing the sword intent of the Myriad Sword Mountain.
Although the Immortal Trapping Sword couldn’t be manifested yet, a start had been made.
This time, after devouring the Broken Corpse Eye, Lu Yuan found the direction of the heavens’ law, the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent.
The most distinctive feature of the Broken Corpse Eye was its ability to imprison a cultivator’s divine soul.
It turned those it killed into its puppets.
And this seemed to fit perfectly with the Immortal Trapping Sword.
To the extent that after encountering the Immortal Trapping Sword, the embryonic form of the Immortal Trapping Sword Intent that had been concealed in Lu Yuan’s spiritual altar took the initiative to appear and devoured the Broken Corpse Eye.
As a result, if Lu Yuan wanted to enhance his Immortal Trapping Sword Intent, he just needed to focus in this direction.
Looking at it this way, out of the Four Ancient Immortal Swords in the Celestial Eradication Sword Array, only the Immortal Vanquishing Sword remained unexplored.
There wasn’t much progress on that front for now.
However, as a cautious person, Lu Yuan wasn’t in a hurry about it.
He had a feeling that among the Four Ancient Immortal Swords, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword was certainly extraordinary. It wasn’t something he could simply master.
Moreover, the Dharma Idols of the three Ancient Immortal Swords that he already grasped were sufficient for a prolonged period of practice.
Even the Immortal Piercing Sword Intent, which he understood the most, could only be considered a modest accomplishment. There was still a considerable gap in mastering it.
Not to mention the recently comprehended Immortal Piercing Sword Intent and Immortal Trapping Sword Intent.
Meanwhile, the disappearance of the Corpse Shattering Eye didn’t appear to cause much of a commotion.
After all, Lu Yuan had already reached two-thirds of the way up Myriad Sword Mountain.
The Immortal Swords capable of appearing at this point were almost all within the top twenty ranks of the Hundred Swords Record.
During this process, Lu Yuan also absorbed a significant amount of killing intent and sword intent. The Immortal Piercing Sword Intent and Immortal Trapping Sword Intent had both advanced considerably.
Not long after Lu Yuan continued forward, another immortal sword soared out.
This time, it was a colossal sword over two meters in length.
A sword of this magnitude was undoubtedly a magic item suitable for body cultivators.
Following the appearance of this black colossal sword, it seemed as if a massive mountain peak had materialized above Lu Yuan’s head and was gradually descending upon him.
Ranking seventh on the Hundred Swords Record, Myriad Mountains!
The appearance of Myriad Mountains could be considered to have presented a minor predicament for Lu Yuan.
If the Broken Corpse Eye’s strength lay in its death aura.
Myriad Mountains’ characteristic was quite evident. It was much heavier than ordinary magic items.
Just as the name of this immortal sword suggested, cultivators who wielded Myriad Mountains felt as though they were holding an entire mountain range.
The previous owner of Myriad Mountains was a cultivator at the Nascent Fusion Stage from Xuanyang Sect, one of the Three Upper Realm Sects that stood on par with the Spirit Sword Sect.
This cultivator at the Nascent Fusion Stage was nicknamed the
Mountain-Moving Daoist, different from ordinary spell cultivators who employed spiritual energy to shift mountains.
The Xuanyang Sect’s Mountain-Moving Daoist had earned his moniker due to having genuinely achieved the extraordinary feat of single-handedly moving a mountain.
It was his exceptional physical prowess that led the Mountain-Moving Daoists to expend significant resources to craft the Myriad Mountains.
The reason behind the appearance of Myriad Mountains on the Spirit Sword Sect was quite similar to that of the Broken Corpse Eye.
Both were defeated by a true immortal from the Spirit Sword Sect during that era.
This led to an agreement that after Mountain-Moving Daoist’s demise, he would place the Myriad Mountains on Spirit Sword Sect’s Myriad Sword Mountain.
The true immortal from Spirit Sword Sect who had been suppressed for a lifetime was none other than the legendary Crane Immortal.
His paired sword now resided within the Myriad Sword Mountain and was the third-ranked sword in the Hundred Swords Record, known as the Crane Dance.
Faced with the impending onslaught of the Myriad Mountains, Lu Yuan didn’t even lift his gaze.
In the following second, a crimson blood-red sword slowly materialized behind Lu Yuan.
This sword exuded an eerie killing intent, its blade adorned with uncanny red patterns that seemed to flow like blood.
This Dharma Idol of an immortal sword was none other than one of the four Ancient Immortal Swords, the Immortal Piercing Sword.
Upon witnessing the appearance of the Immortal Piercing Sword, the towering Myriad Mountains above him didn’t evoke fear. Instead, they became increasingly agitated.
In the heart of the densely arrayed mountain peaks, the obsidian-black blade of the Myriad Mountains emitted a brilliant radiance.
Subsequently, the previously translucent expanse of mountain peaks began to gradually solidify.
Even the speed of the descending mountain peak was noticeably accelerating.
During its descent, friction between the mountain’s base and the air produced copious waves of energy and flames.
The ashen sky was suddenly ablaze with the light of the flames, resembling a celestial meteor shower.
Confronted with the approaching Myriad Mountains, the Immortal Piercing Sword shot forth.
In the subsequent instant, an enigmatic red radiance started enveloping the Immortal Piercing Sword. These crimson lights intertwined with one another, ultimately transforming into an enormous hand that seemed to hold up the heavens.
With a forceful clench, the gargantuan hand violently smashed toward the base of the Myriad Mountains.
Boom!
The collision between the giant fist and the mountain caused a resounding noise that echoed through the world.
At the same time as this loud sound was produced, the aftershock produced by the terrifying collision directly swept across the Myriad Sword Mountain below.
Myriad Swords Mountain, which had been hundreds of meters tall, immediately shook violently.
Lu Yuan did not seem to feel anything as he continued to walk slowly towards the top of the mountain.
In the sky, the punch of the Immortal Piercing Sword directly shattered the phenomenon caused by the Myriad Mountains.
The phenomenon shattered, and the two swords collided head-on.
The shockingly heavy Myriad Mountains had been shattered by the Immortal Piercing Sword on the spot.
Facing the scattered sword fragments, the Immortal Piercing Sword had been like a glutton who had encountered delicious food and had begun to feast.
[Ding! As you have devoured the acquired spiritual item, Myriad Mountains, your way of the heavens Law, Immortal Piercing Sword Intent had been upgraded…]
[Level 1. the heavens law, Immortal Piercing Sword Intent: 500,000/1 million]
One Myriad Mountains had directly provided Lu Yuan with 500,000 proficiency points.
It had directly allowed the Immortal Piercing Sword Intent to surpass the Immortal Piercing Sword Intent that he had originally grasped.
However, Lu Yuan had not paid attention to this at that moment because another immortal sword had appeared in front of him.
What had appeared this time was the Five Rays which had been ranked sixth on the Hundred Swords Record.
This sword had come from a cultivator named Five Colors Daoist of Spirit Sword Sect.
It had been said that the Five Colors Daoist had been a rare five-patterned heaven golden core and had cultivated to the Nascent Fusion Stage, almost invincible among those of the same level.
The Five Rays created by him contained the will of the five elements.
Therefore, after the Five Rays had appeared, Lu Yuan’s surroundings instantly discovered a change.
At that moment, Lu Yuan had found himself in a volcano. Boiling lava had surrounded him, and heat waves had covered his face.
Lu Yuan had still been unmoved by this. He had taken a step towards the direction of the lava.
Behind him, the Immortal Piercing Sword that had just eaten its fill had slowly disappeared.
What had replaced it had been a white immortal sword….
