Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1252: Mechanism City

At the moment of rushing into the Gate of Hell, the chilling atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly dissipated. When Ling Chen stabilized his body, the scene in front of him slightly surprised him.

This is a city seemingly entirely made of metal.

Inside the city, formations and mechanisms are everywhere. Ling Chen can see in the area not far away, countless gears are turning, providing endless power to the entire city.

”Those who enter the Mechanism City face nine deaths and one life.”

Ling Chen saw a few striking words on a nearby pillar.

”Mechanism City? Is this the legendary Mechanism City?”

Ling Xin Saint’s beautiful eyes lit up; she was not unfamiliar with the name of this Mechanism City.

Back in the day, many ancient schools coexisted in the world. Confucianism was known for passing down Righteous Qi, Legalism for its severe laws and strict enforcement, the Soldier Saint Line for its military strategies, and among them, there was a Mo Sect famous worldwide for its puppeteer skills.

However, later, all the schools submitted to Emperor Qinling, and naturally, the Mo Sect was no exception. It seems that this Mechanism City was built by experts from the Mo Sect.

”First the Gate of Hell, then Mechanism City, just how many Killing Formations did Emperor Qinling set in his tomb?”

A strong person from Lingyue Island felt a chill in his heart; the journey so far had been extremely perilous. A slight mistake could cost one’s life, even a Saint wasn’t exempt.

”The more it is like this, the more it proves that there are indeed secrets hidden in the Emperor’s Tomb of Emperor Qinling. There’s likely great treasure, otherwise, why would Emperor Qinling go to such great lengths to set so many obstacles to prevent outsiders from entering?”

Ling Xin Saint said.

”That’s right.”

Shen Bingxin nodded, and a flash of brilliance suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes, ”Emperor Qinling carries many secrets. Many have not been uncovered and are buried with him in this Emperor’s Tomb. If we can enter the deepest part of this Emperor’s Tomb, we might uncover these secrets easily and obtain Emperor Qinling’s peerless treasure!”

If one could obtain Emperor Qinling’s treasure, not only could they soar to the skies, but even their entire Sect would greatly benefit and increase in power.

After all, the legacy and treasure of Emperor Qinling are not something a single person can consume.

”It’s rumored that everywhere in Mechanism City is filled with mechanisms, requiring caution at every step. Everyone, from now on, stay close behind me and do not wander off.”

Shen Bingxin instructed everyone.

The people of Lingyue Island were all startled in their hearts and nodded. After experiencing those previous dangers, they were already like startled birds. In a place like this, even a slight mistake could lead to an irreparable situation.

Shen Bingxin waved her sleeve, and dozens of mechanical birds fluttered out and entered the Mechanism City ahead. The seemingly calm open space suddenly rippled, and from the walls on both sides, dark compartments suddenly appeared, from which extremely dangerous hidden weapons were shot, densely packed towards those mechanical birds.

In the blink of an eye, several mechanical birds were gone, and those hidden weapons shot into the opposite walls, disappearing into the dark compartments.

”Sure enough, everywhere is full of mechanical traps.”

There was no surprise on Shen Bingxin’s face. After the mechanical birds tested the way, she suddenly darted out, lightly, like a petal floating on water, quickly moving along the path the mechanical birds safely traversed.

Ling Chen and Ling Yin immediately followed, and everyone precisely stepped on every grid on the ground, not daring to deviate even a bit, because any slight mistake could be a catastrophic disaster.

At this moment, suddenly, a strong person from Lingyue Island made a mistake, accidentally stepping on a dark compartment. Instantly, the ground began to tremble violently, and the entire floor inexplicably started to move.

”Not good!”

Everyone’s face changed drastically. They immediately knew a mechanism had been triggered, each fiercely pushing their True Qi to the limit, as if facing a formidable enemy. And beneath their feet, holes suddenly appeared, from which colorless and odorless liquid shot out as water arrows.

Caught off guard, two strong individuals from Lingyue Island were hit by the water arrows, their bodies eroded in the blink of an eye, even their bones were completely corroded.

In the face of crisis, Shen Bingxin immediately activated the power of the Water Dragon Orb, condensing a half-transparent water shield outside the body, enveloping everyone within.

Ch-ch-ch!

Water arrows hit the shield formed by the Water Dragon Orb, raising a layer of smoke. However, Ling Chen could see that the shield created by the Water Dragon Orb was being corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, albeit slowly and not very noticeably.

Swish swish swish!

At the same time, from the dark compartments in the walls on both sides, hidden weapons suddenly tore through the void, fiercely aiming for the people of Lingyue Island.

”Quick, go!”

Though all the mechanical attacks were blocked by the shield formed by the Water Dragon Orb, enduring such immense pressure, even the Water Dragon Orb couldn’t withstand it. At Shen Bingxin’s urging, everyone quickly activated their Light Skill, dashing deeper into the Mechanism City.

After rushing out of the plaza area covered by mechanisms, Shen Bingxin also breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart sank slightly. The people she brought were all top experts from Lingyue Island. Several were lost outside due to the Evil-suppressing Ghost Bats’ attacks, and now two more were lost here, which pained her greatly.

”The dead are gone. If we can obtain the secrets of this Emperor’s Tomb, this loss is nothing.”

Ling Chen saw Shen Bingxin’s state of mind and spoke comforting words.

”The Emperor Qinling’s tomb is not so easy to invade. Now that we’re here, we must be prepared for heavy casualties. Compared to our expectations, our losses are relatively light.”

Shen Bingxin shook her head. She had already prepared herself mentally to endure losses; it was just that if they didn’t gain corresponding benefits in this Emperor’s Tomb, then this would be a major loss.

”The words on the gate of the Mechanism City already say, ’Those who enter the Mechanism City face nine deaths and one life.’

Ling Chen’s eyes gleamed with a hint of brilliance, ”I’m afraid what we faced earlier was just the appetizer.”

”The previous mechanisms could even bring down a Saint, saying it’s just an appetizer seems too exaggerated...”

The Eighth Elder frowned, clearly skeptical of Ling Chen’s words.

”Let’s hope so.”

Ling Chen didn’t say much more; he hoped his intuition was wrong.

At this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble, ”Bang... Bang...” sounds transmitted one after another, growing closer and closer, prompting Ling Chen to use Gold Sword Pupil to look around. In the depths of the Mechanism City, he could see towering, cold figures, approaching them with heavy, mechanical steps.
