Sword Abyss had undergone an unusual disturbance!

The Sword Master Seal had fluctuated, and the only thing capable of triggering fluctuations in it was the Sword Abyss!

This was the true core of Sword God Mountain.

It was also a mysterious place.

Even Chen Cang, the Sword Master, had never entered the bottom of the Sword Abyss.

Nor did he know what exactly was hidden at its bottom.

He only knew that the bottom of the Sword Abyss was extremely dangerous.

"What happened?"

Chen Cang was filled with suspicion.

But at this moment, he could not leave!

Other than him, no one in Sword God Mountain could restrain the Sword Demon.

Once he left to investigate the Sword Abyss, an unforeseen change might occur.

He glanced at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder understood and silently retreated from the Sword Testing Platform.

The Sword Demon had been watching Chen Cang all along. His brows furrowed slightly. Had something changed behind Sword God Mountain?

At Cliff of Reflection.

The Fate-Defying Heavenly Ladder had already condensed successfully.

Su Fan stepped onto the heavenly ladder, his aura continuously rising.

Late Void Sword Realm, perfect Void Sword Realm!

A mountain-like pressure descended.

Even though the Fate-Defying Heavenly Ladder had formed, ascending the step that belonged to the Emperor Sword Realm was no easy task.

Sword light surged around Su Fan.

Layers of sword intent emerged.

Heaven-Shattering Sword Intent, Life-Ending Sword Intent, Life-Sacrificing Sword Intent... and more.

Boom!

It was as if the roar of raging waves resounded.

Su Fan's gaze was resolute. Bracing against the mountain-like pressure, he raised his foot and stepped onto the stair.

His entire being seemed to undergo sublimation as he finally stepped onto the last stair.

Rumble!

It was as though thunder had exploded within his consciousness.

As if he had touched some taboo, his lifespan and vitality began draining away madly.

His aura soared violently.

Countless insights surfaced.

Emperor Sword Realm!

Su Fan had broken through to the Emperor Sword Realm.

The moment he entered the Emperor Sword Realm, it was as though he had entered a whole new heaven and earth.

This was an enormous leap on the path of cultivation.

Rumble!

At this moment, Su Fan even vaguely sensed the existence of the Heaven and Earth Shackles.

It seemed as though a set of chains had locked down heaven and earth.

One could only remain in the Emperor Sword Realm and could not take another step forward.

If one continued breaking through, one would encounter calamity!

Su Fan raised his head to look at the sky. He seemed to see a densely woven net sealing off the Four Directions of Heaven and Earth.

Like a cage, it imprisoned people within this world.

"So this is why the Heaven Realm path has been severed?"

Su Fan now understood why the Heaven Realm path had been cut off.

Because heaven and earth had been sealed.

That vast net contained boundless power, with the Dao's profound resonance flowing through it.

"It may stop others, but it cannot stop me!"

Su Fan's heart turned cold.

He had to break through to the Heavenly Sword Realm.

The Heaven and Earth Shackles could also be shattered.

His lifespan was draining away madly.

It was as though he had used the Fate-Defying Heavenly Ladder to make a massive leap, directly breaking through to the Emperor Sword Realm.

And had seen the existence of the Heaven and Earth Shackles.

He had violated certain taboos.

They were stripping away his lifespan and vitality.

Had it been any other cultivator, their vitality would likely have already been extinguished, and they would have died.

Yet Su Fan was not affected in the slightest.

"Early Emperor Sword Realm. This is as far as I can break through for now."

Su Fan murmured.

Boom!

The Fate-Defying Heavenly Ladder vanished.

The Heaven and Earth Shackles could no longer be seen either.

His lifespan and vitality were no longer being stripped away.

"I finally broke through!"

Sensing his own power, Su Fan was overcome with excitement.

Cold light flickered in his eyes.

"It is about time to go down the mountain!"

Suddenly, his expression shifted.

There seemed to be something within the Sword Abyss.

It faintly stirred something within him.

Only after breaking through to the Emperor Sword Realm did he sense the Sword Abyss's uniqueness.

"What is so special about the Sword Abyss?"

Su Fan emerged from the Forbidden Art Graveyard, stood at the edge of Cliff of Reflection, and looked down at the Sword Abyss below.

Mist shrouded it, and the bottom of the Sword Abyss could not be seen.

"I'll go down and take a look!"

After breaking through to the Emperor Sword Realm, Su Fan had immense confidence in his own strength.

The Heavenly Imperial Sword Armor operated at all times. Even a Heavenly Sword Realm expert could not break through its defenses.

This was one of the sources of his confidence.

With a flash, he leaped directly into the Sword Abyss.

His entire body was like a sword, shooting toward the bottom of the Sword Abyss.

He passed through layer upon layer of mist, descending without end.

Suddenly!

Su Fan's expression changed slightly.

He felt his lifespan draining away.

It was as though some terrifying existence was siphoning away his lifespan and vitality!

"The Sword Abyss can actually siphon lifespan and vitality?"

Su Fan was immensely shocked.

This was a forbidden land!

Whoever entered would surely die!

Passing through layers of mist and a dim gray protective boundary, he finally arrived at the bottom of the Sword Abyss.

What appeared before Su Fan was sword after sword thrust into the ground!

Every sword emitted terrifying sword intent!

"They are all God Swords!"

"So this is the true Sword Burial Ground?!"

Su Fan was stunned.

Every one of these swords was at the God Sword level!

They were swords possessed only by Divine Sword Realm experts!

Moreover, they seemed to be continuously nourished within the Sword Abyss.

Su Fan's expression grew solemn. The bottom of the Sword Abyss concealed Sword God Mountain's true secret.

He stepped forward.

Every sword radiated razor-sharp sword intent.

No matter how many years had passed, they remained incomparably powerful.

Their sword intent had even received some kind of nourishment.

"These swords..."

Su Fan suddenly stopped, his expression changing again and again.

If anyone who was not a disciple of Sword God Mountain came down here, they would inevitably suffer the slaughtering assault of these God Swords' sword intents!

Moreover, these God Swords seemed to be nurturing something, while also seeming to guard something!

Su Fan looked into the depths of the Sword Abyss, toward the end of what the God Swords were nurturing!

He walked forward step by step.

The farther inward he went, the more powerful the God Swords he saw became.

Su Fan abruptly halted.

Not far ahead of him was an azure-blue sword embedded in the ground, emitting a bone-piercing chill.

The sword intent it gave off spread like frost.

"Is this the Frost Divine Sword?"

It was the sword of a once-renowned female sword cultivator of Sword God Mountain!

The Frost Divine Sword!

She had been hailed as the number one female sword cultivator in the world!

At this moment, the Frost Divine Sword trembled, as though it wished to break free.

Su Fan sensed it carefully, then raised his head and looked above the Sword Abyss. His gaze pierced through layer upon layer of mist and landed before a cave on the cliffs of the Sword Abyss.

"Senior Sister Ling Rushuang."

Ling Rushuang was cultivating in seclusion there.

She had yet to break through!

The reason the Frost Divine Sword was trembling, wishing to leave the Sword Abyss, was precisely because it had sensed Ling Rushuang's presence and wanted to acknowledge her as its master!

Su Fan recalled Ling Rushuang's cold appearance, beautiful as frost.

"What Senior Sister Ling comprehends is frost-type sword intent."

No wonder she could stir the Frost Divine Sword.

Moreover, what Ling Rushuang cultivated was very likely the inheritance of the Frost Divine Sword's former master.

The Frost Divine Sword was bound by some kind of restraint in this place.

It could not leave the bottom of the Sword Abyss through its own power.

Ling Rushuang clearly could not enter the bottom of the Sword Abyss either.

Su Fan could enter not only because his lifespan was infinite, but also because of the forbidden arts he cultivated.

He himself was a taboo, so naturally there was no conflict.

"Senior Sister Ling has treated me well. I'll lend her a hand."

With that thought, Su Fan arrived before the Frost Divine Sword.

He raised his hand, releasing a strand of sword intent that pulled the Frost Divine Sword free.

Buzz!

The sword let out a soft cry.

With a wave of Su Fan's hand, the Frost Divine Sword shot upward.

"Senior Sister Ling should break through as well!"

Su Fan revealed a smile.

Once the Frost Divine Sword arrived, it would also be the time for Ling Rushuang to break through.

As the Frost Divine Sword vanished, every sword at the bottom of the Sword Abyss trembled. A strange disturbance swept through the entire Sword Abyss.

This disturbance stirred Chen Cang's Sword Master Seal.
