When the young elder saw the giant eye beneath the black vortex, the elders from other factions also sensed that something was amiss.

As they gazed one by one into the God Burying Abyss, everyone seemed to become a wandering ghost, completely losing the ability to react.

The shock of that scene was indescribable; a gigantic eye, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, filled the entire God Burying Abyss. It appeared silently, without causing any disturbance, yet this very silence only amplified the eeriness of the situation.

Beneath the sea, the place where the elders of various factions once resided appears to have become a graveyard.

The people standing there looked like a row of messy tombstones.

People felt that after being locked onto those dark, deep pupils, which resembled an endless starry sky, their vital energy stagnated, their souls were frozen, and they couldn't even move a little finger!

What kind of eye was that? It was cold and vast, like the eye of the heavens, regarding all living beings in the world as mere straw dogs.

Looking at it, people felt their own insignificance from the bottom of their hearts. They were all top-tier experts in the Tianyuan Realm, capable of moving mountains and seas, and going up to the heavens and down to the earth. But now, facing this mysterious and terrifying existence, they all felt like ants.

This eye existed for about ten breaths before it quietly disappeared.

The elders present were all as pale as paper. Just being stared at by this enormous eye for a dozen breaths felt as if they had died once.

That terrifying eye seemed to see right through their souls.

"What exactly is that thing?"

The people were still in shock. When they faced that enormous eye, they truly felt powerless to resist, as if a single thought from that eye could kill them all.

"It's just an illusion, or perhaps a projection of an eye. It can't possibly be an eye. If it really had such a large eye, how big would its body be? It would probably be as big as the Tianyuan Realm!"

The Tianyuan Realm is vast and boundless; it's truly hard to imagine that a single life form could be as large as the Tianyuan Realm.

If this eye were just a projection, then they could understand it.

Even as a projection, this terrifying being lurking in the God Burying Abyss still made the elders of many forces tremble with fear.

Over the years, no matter who it was, they all disappeared without a trace after entering the God Burying Abyss. Perhaps they were killed by that eye!

Such a terrifying being lurked not far from them, filling everyone with dread. If that being were to emerge, wouldn't they all perish here?

Moreover, the tearing force of the dark vortex is growing stronger, which makes people increasingly worried that if a major change occurs in the God Burying Abyss, they will undoubtedly be in an extremely dangerous situation.

At this moment, on the cliff of the second floor of the God Descending Tower, Yi Yun sat cross-legged. In front of him, a crystal-clear relic floated in the air. This relic was obtained by Yi Yun when he killed the Ancient Savage Beast during his first trial.

There were two ancient relics in total, and Yi Yun put them both away. He was currently cultivating in the God Descending Tower, and using these ancient relics was just right for him.

Yi Yun connected his spiritual power to the Purple Crystal, and the pure primordial energy within the Yi Yun was continuously absorbed into his body.

Yi Yun's body is now Pure Yang Body. After repeated Marrow Cleansing and marrow and transformation by Pure Yang Energy, Yi Yun has long been reborn. His body has an extremely high compatibility with energy.

The energy from these ancient relics flowed unimpeded throughout Yi Yun's limbs and bones, converging and accumulating in his dantian.

With the foundation built in his dantian and the seed of Dao planted within it, Yi Yun's cultivation at the Origin Foundation Realm has advanced another step.

Feeling the surging energy within his body, filling his entire being as if it were about to burst forth at any moment, Yi Yun reached out and slapped the array plate, which immediately floated up, and the battle scene between the black-spear warrior and the green-robed swordsman reappeared.

In the past few months, if Yi Yun had only focused on cultivation, it would have been difficult for him to defeat the young man in the green robe. He needed to gain more insights from this sword strike.

Whoosh! The blue lightning reappeared, and the broken sword that Yi Yun had placed across his lap immediately emitted a deep hum, its blade trembling and drawing upon the vital energy within Yi Yun's body, causing it to surge violently.

Supported by the energy of the ancient relic, Yi Yun kept his eyes fixed on the ground. He had previously maintained this gaze for half an hour, but this time, Yi Yun didn't even know how long he had been watching.

In the image left on the array plate, the sword thrust by the Green-robed Swordsman occupied his pupils, and in his mind, the world-shaking sword mark of the Pure Yang Sword Palace also emerged, gradually overlapping with the sword thrust of the Green-robed Swordsman.

Yi Yun unconsciously gripped the broken sword and began to swing it. However, this time, his swing was very awkward and difficult, as if something was preventing him from unleashing the sword.

This indicates that the understanding of Sword Intent is not yet profound, and the comprehension of the way of the sword is not yet thorough.

These elements formed a thin film, allowing Yi Yun's sword to at most touch a tiny part of the blade, but never truly grasp its essence.

"Hahahaha!" The unrestrained laughter of the swordsman in blue came from the photograph.

Seeing the laughter of the Green-robed Swordsman, Yi Yun thought of the Sword Palace Master. The seven "kill" characters left on the Seven Kill Stone Tablet in the Pure Yang Sword Palace were shocking!

"Erect the Seven Kill Stone Tablet to demonstrate my resolve! When the Heavenly Dao collapses and the universe ceases to exist, I will be the master of Heaven and Earth, controlling life and death, annihilating reincarnation, taking the souls of all living beings to forge my Longsword, spilling my indestructible blood, and slaughtering all demons! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Yi Yun remembered the inscription on the stone tablet of the Pure Yang Sword Palace very clearly.

Yi Yun vividly remembered the artistic conception contained in the strokes of each character.

These images kept replaying in Yi Yun's mind, and he seemed to have gained a new understanding.

The way of the sword is solely based on the mind and nature!

It differs from the way of the sword; it lacks some of the killing and fearless spirit, but it is more about nature and true heart.

The Sword Palace Master and the swordsman in green both wielded their swords with the power of their hearts.

The unrestrained and unruly nature of the swordsman in green robes, and the words written by the Sword Palace Master on the Seven Kill Stone Tablet, which contained boundless killing intent, infinite hatred, and a desire to annihilate the heavens.

These are the true intentions of the Green-Clad Swordsman and the Sword Palace Master!

Their killing intent, their understanding of martial arts, and even their personalities were all embodied in this sword strike. This sword strike can be said to encompass their lives and their understanding of martial arts.

Yi Yun placed the broken sword on his lap, and began to recall his life.

When I first transmigrated to Yunhuang, discovered the Purple Crystal and began cultivating, met Lin Xin Tong at night, participated in the Divine Kingdom Grand Selection, distinguished myself in the martial arts competition, saw Jiang Xiaorou being taken away, and was imprisoned in the dungeon...

All the experiences he had had since coming into this world flashed before Yi Yun's eyes, including joy, sorrow, and all the insights he had gained since learning martial arts.

This process lasted for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, a divine light flashed in Yi Yun's eyes. He leaped up and unleashed a strike with the broken sword in his hand!

With a shout, he thrust his sword forward fiercely, as if releasing all the thoughts in his heart!

In an instant, a burst of light appeared!

Snap!

A terrifying Sword Light appeared on the earth, as if it were a divine sword that cleaved the earth in two!

Rocks and soil crumbled violently, the Sword Qi's momentum was unstoppable, its Sword Light dazzling, stretching all the way to the horizon, leaving behind a shockingly huge sword mark!

This sword mark is like a deep chasm, or a scar on the earth.

In that instant, Yi Yun felt that the thin membrane was also pierced by the sword!

Looking at the huge sword mark left before him, Yi Yun's eyes flashed with excitement.

"It's done!"

This sword strike finally allowed him to develop some Mysterious Charm, and with this sword, he was able to establish himself in the Tianyuan Realm!

Yi Yun took a deep breath and looked up at the entrance of the God Descending Tower.

He leaped into the air, shattering the rocks beneath his feet, and soared thousands of feet into the sky. He flew past the entrance to the second floor of the God Descending Tower stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor.

He strode forward, his heart burning with fighting spirit.

Having climbed a third of the stairs in one go, Yi Yun was once again confronted by the young man in the blue robe who had blocked his path.

He stood with his sword at the top of the steps, looking down at Yi Yun.

"Here we go again?" the young man in the blue robe said calmly.

A Yi Yun's lips as he calmly said, "Draw your sword!"
