Supreme Sword God

Chapter 442: Chapter 441: The Forbidden Appears, Utterly Eerie

True Martial Hall.

Tian Bugui finally finished recovering from his injuries and came out of seclusion.

Originally, he wanted to find Ye Chen to foster some camaraderie, only to learn that Ye Chen had left True Martial Hall more than half a month ago.

When he heard from Su Yun that Ye Chen had gone to the Flame Desert, he immediately looked tense and said, ”Su Yun, why didn’t you stop him!”

”The path is his own, he has the right to choose how to walk it.” Su Yun said calmly, continuing, ”Besides, he has Lin Wen’s Super Detonator Talisman on him, which provides some safety assurance.”

Tian Bugui took a deep breath and said, ”Large-breasted, empty-headed foolish woman!”

”Tian Bugui, are you looking for death?” Su Yun glared at Tian Bugui, murderous intent rising.

Tian Bugui snorted coldly, saying, ”Hurry and call the Hall Master, let’s make a trip to the Flame Desert together. If we’re late, there won’t even be any bones left of Ye Chen.”

”The Flame Desert isn’t that dangerous.” Su Yun said.

”Under normal circumstances, if he’s going to the Flame Desert for training, it’s fine; young people should be adventurous. But don’t forget, every hundred years, a forbidden period appears in the Flame Desert!”

”Are you saying it’s the centennial forbidden period now?” Su Yun’s face turned pale.

”Hurry up and go, let’s hope we’re not too late!”

Moments later.

After Tian Bugui and Su Yun explained the situation to Shi Fengchun, Shi Fengchun’s expression also turned extremely grim.

”If the forbidden has truly appeared, the two of you going there would be courting death. Stay at the True Martial Hall, I’ll go myself!” Leaving this sentence behind, Shi Fengchun’s figure flickered and he disappeared without a trace.

Ye Chen is crucial for repairing the Qingye Grotto Heaven, nothing must happen to him...

Tian Bugui and Su Yun looked at each other in dismay.

They originally thought they’d have to persuade Shi Fengchun fiercely to take action, but he seemed more anxious than anyone.

Tian Bugui said, ”It seems that Ye Chen calling the Hall Master Brother Chun isn’t without reason; their relationship is quite unusual.”

Su Yun said, ”What are you standing there for, let’s go too!”

Tian Bugui held his knife and said, ”Don’t be foolish, as the Hall Master said, if the forbidden has appeared, us going would only be a burden. If it hasn’t appeared yet, the Hall Master going alone will be enough.”

Su Yun gripped her whip tightly, falling into deep remorse.

”Alright, it’s not your fault. If I hadn’t heard someone mention it a few days ago, I would’ve forgotten about it too.” Tian Bugui said.

Su Yun remained silent, speechless, overwhelmed with guilt, and turned to leave.

......

At this moment.

Walking along the Projection Path, Ye Chen’s unease was growing stronger.

Neither Luo Qingyi nor Master Legs could figure out what the situation was.

Though they had lived for a long time... they hadn’t been in contact with the outside world for ten thousand years, and even when they were active in this world, they didn’t know everything.

Ye Chen, even if he wanted to retreat now, had no way back.

With each step forward he took,

the steps behind him would disappear.

So, he could only brace himself and continue forward.

By now, Ye Chen had lost any sense of time, constantly moving forward, perhaps only moments had passed, or perhaps a long time.

Suddenly, Ye Chen discovered an opening ahead, with the sounds of lively commotion reaching his ears.

Ye Chen quickened his pace and suddenly rushed ahead, bursting through to the end of the Projection Path.

On his face appeared an incredibly astonished expression.

In front of him, there was a series of magnificent palaces, set atop islands floating in the clouds.

The blue skies and white clouds were breathtakingly beautiful.

White-feathered celestial cranes flew in circles, and ferocious tiger and leopard mystical beasts lay placidly around.

Figures shuttled back and forth in the sky.

Elders were full of an immortal aura, while young men and women seemed like dragons and phoenixes among men, both handsome and extraordinary, or as beautiful as celestial beings.

”Boom boom boom!”

A thundering sound arose, Ye Chen looked over and saw someone practicing martial arts, each move contained an indescribable mysterious profundity.

And this person practicing martial arts was a teenage boy, who had clearly grasped the true essence of martial arts, proving he was exceptionally gifted!

Suddenly, night fell.

The sky was filled with stars, moonlight, and starlight bathed the earth, and from within the magnificently impressive palaces came divine music.

Suddenly, a bold, carefree laugh rang out, and a man’s figure leaped up to the sky, as if attempting to pick stars and catch the moon.

A giant hand suddenly emerged from one of the palaces, instantly gripping that figure which charged into the starry sky within its palm.

”Causing trouble while drunk, sentenced to a hundred years of seclusion!”

Watching these scenes, Ye Chen was entranced, then quickly bit the tip of his tongue, his eyes filled with rapidly flowing power, pushing the Martial Arts Celestial Eye to its limits.

The scenes gradually became unreal and misty.

”This isn’t real, yet it essentially differs from an illusion, could it also be a projection?” Ye Chen thought to himself, these things had gone beyond his understanding.

Ye Chen raised his hand, staring at the Red Fire Treasure Mirror clutched tightly, now, only this thing could give him any sense of security.

”Even if this isn’t an illusion but a projection, it’s all stuff from the past. Everything has been washed away by the relentless passage of time and can never reappear!” Ye Chen whispered to himself, urging himself not to get lost in the scenes emerging from the projection.

Just after he finished speaking,

a faint sigh echoed.

”It’s not just time that’s ruthless, but also the Great Dao.”

Following that, a thundering crash arose.

The projection around Ye Chen seemed like it was torn apart by a gigantic hand, with furious thunder falling from the sky, terrifying flames sweeping out, and icy chills freezing everything...

Ye Chen’s heart trembled profoundly!

In this moment, a majestic giant sword appeared in his mind.

The giant sword stood between heaven and earth, as if eternally enduring...

Even in the face of heaven collapsing and earth splitting, with the Dao assaulting, this giant sword could still slice through everything!

This scene was something rooted in Ye Chen’s mind when he obtained the Nine Heavens Sword Manual’s legacy, and it bore a stark resemblance to the projection before him!

However, the projection now in front couldn’t withstand it!

Yet the giant sword, symbolizing the Nine Heavens Sword Manual, not only stood firm but shattered everything!

”Elder Qingyi!”

”Master Legs!”

Ye Chen’s consciousness was calling out!

But there was no response whatsoever.

He felt, though the Sword Tomb still belonged to him, his connection with it seemed to have been severed by some mysterious force!

Before long.

The projection scene around Ye Chen completely vanished.

Around him, all the magnificent and mysterious had disappeared, leaving only a desolate land with occasional fragments of ruined palaces.

Divine birds and mystical beasts had turned to dust and smoke.

Whether they were immortal elders or dragons and phoenixes among men, they too had vanished without a trace.

Ye Chen looked into the distance, his gaze concentrated on the sole remaining figure.

This was a back view, with messy, disheveled hair, a hunched physique, clothed in rags. Ye Chen’s Martial Arts Celestial Eye couldn’t discern any power... not even a ripple of aura!

Yet he felt this back was truly present, entirely different from the projected figures in previous scenes!

Suddenly, this figure turned around, looking at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s skin tingled, breaking out in goosebumps.

Because, the person’s eyes were one black, one white, eerily unsettling, with an empty expression, yet his mouth showed a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

This smile was very familiar to Ye Chen.

When he cut down others, he habitually wore such a smile...

”Damn, this old guy won’t try to cut me, will he...” Ye Chen felt uneasy.

”Buzz!”

At this moment, the sword-shaped pendant hanging on Ye Chen’s chest vibrated intensely.

Luo Qingyi’s voice pierced through the Sword Tomb, resonating in this strange world.

”If you dare lift a hand against my man, I’ll cut down all your notions!”

The voice was icy, beyond domineering.

Ye Chen felt extremely touched in his heart.

At the critical moment, Elder Qingyi proved reliable!
