Green Ping Sword Leads to the Mystery of the Bronze Colossus

In the northwestern quadrant of the Primordial Chaos Sea, the young cultivator Lin Xiao wiped the Green Ping Sword. The sword suddenly reflected a bizarre scene: in a dimension that existed on no star chart, twelve Bronze Colossi surrounded a withered Chaos Green Lotus. Above each colossus floated a damaged Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram.

"Finally, the inheritor has arrived." The sword blade suddenly seeped green blood, and Lin Xiao's pupils were dyed chaotic colors. The ruins beneath his feet split open into an abyss, revealing a bronze altar buried for a million epochs. The altar's surface was covered in cracks that shared a source with the four gates of the Immortal Slaying Formation.

When Lin Xiao inserted the broken sword into the altar's recess, the entire Primordial Chaos Sea fell silent. All the Jiejiao Disciples traversing the void felt a shock to their Destiny. The lotus imprints between their brows oozed golden blood, intertwining in the void to form the silhouette of a Bronze Colossus.

"This is... a Chaos Observer!" Duobao Daoist, who hailed from another universe, suddenly felt an unbearable headache. Sealed memories surfaced: these Bronze Colossi had ruled the Primordial Chaos Sea before Hongjun's birth, until they were overthrown by the First Generation Jiejiao Allied Army.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was being pulled into the Bronze Colossus's interior. In the absolute darkness of the dimension, he saw the pupils of the twelve colossi light up simultaneously. Each pupil reflected a different form of the Immortal Slaying Sword Array. The central colossus slowly spoke, its voice shattering three dimensions:

"Seventh Tribulation of the Primordial Epoch, Ninth Generation Inheritor of the Observer, your trial is--"

A liquid Chaos Green Lotus appeared in the colossus's palm, its heart enclosing half a fragment of a jade disk. Lin Xiao suddenly understood. This was the Chaos Observatory, even more ancient than the Creation Jade Disk held by Hongjun, containing data from all the experimental universes that had been erased.

Just as he was about to touch the jade disk, a sword cry echoed from outside the altar. Fairy Yunxiao of the main universe arrived, breaking through the void. Her Primordial Gold Pot was being controlled by a Bronze Colossus, which was inverting it and covering Lin Xiao:

"Be careful! These Observers are collecting the Law of Causality of the Green Ping Sword!" Lin Xiao's heart leaped, and he quickly dodged. The Primordial Gold Pot, imbued with terrifying power, brushed past his clothes, leaving a twisted spatial rift in the darkness. Fairy Yunxiao held her sword, confronting the Bronze Colossus. Though the Primordial Gold Pot was controlled, her immortal power was not to be underestimated.

Just then, the other eleven Bronze Colossi also moved. Each unleashed a different Immortal Slaying Sword Array. Instantly, the sword arrays crisscrossed, trapping Lin Xiao and Fairy Yunxiao within. Lin Xiao gripped the half of the Green Ping Sword, Chaos Power surging within him as he tried to find a way to break the formation.

Suddenly, the central colossus spoke again, "If you can protect the jade disk intact within the sword array, you will pass the trial." Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, knowing it would be a difficult battle, but he had no choice but to press on for the Chaos Observatory.

He and Fairy Yunxiao stood back-to-back, coordinating their efforts, darting left and right within the sword array. Every attack was accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations. The Bronze Colossi's attacks grew fiercer, but Lin Xiao's gaze became increasingly resolute... Just as Lin Xiao and Fairy Yunxiao were struggling to hold on, the half of the Green Ping Sword in Lin Xiao's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, resonating with the surrounding sword arrays. The offensive momentum of those sword arrays instantly slowed. Lin Xiao's heart stirred; he felt the Green Ping Sword was guiding him to break these formations. Following the guidance from the Green Ping Sword, he channeled his Chaos Power, using the sword as a conduit to try and disrupt the sword arrays' operation. Fairy Yunxiao also noticed Lin Xiao's change. She coordinated with Lin Xiao's rhythm, using her Primordial Gold Pot to defend against the temporarily disrupted sword array attacks. As time passed, they gradually found the flaws in the sword arrays. Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and thrust his sword fiercely at the weakest point, causing an immediate gap to appear in the sword array. He and Fairy Yunxiao seized the chance to charge out, rushing towards the jade disk in the central colossus's hand. Just as they were about to touch the jade disk, the other Bronze Colossi frantically surrounded them. A new, more ferocious wave of attacks descended, but Lin Xiao did not flinch. He and Fairy Yunxiao worked together, shielding the jade disk tightly, awaiting the final outcome of this trial.
