Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: Sword Emperor Stele

Xiao Yi shook his head.

However, with such complex rules, there’s nothing I can do about it.

After all, waiting an hour isn’t a big deal.

Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon’s strange expressions had already faded, returning to a calm demeanor.

”Complicated?” Elder Yun Yuan chuckled lightly.

”Kid, I told you early on, the Grand Competition between the two sects is extremely serious and incredibly important.”

”Otherwise, do you think why the Qi Sect was always on your case after you disrupted the competition?”

”Even the Artifact Sect and the Lin Family judges couldn’t overlook the matter with you.”

Hui Deacon added, ”For the entire Sword Domain, the grand event of the two sects’ competition is second only to the opening of the Monument Forest.”

”Therefore, it’s extremely grand and equally solemn.”

Xiao Yi nodded and shrugged.

Even if he knew the importance of the two sects’ competition beforehand, he would still have gone on stage to save someone.

A swordsman acts from the heart; he wanted to save Ding Qiuyue on stage, plain and simple.

Before long.

After the Lin Family judge finally stopped his endless chatter.

”Let the contest begin,” the Lin Family judge shouted loudly.

Whoosh...

The battle between Ding Qiuyue and Zhuo Wanzong commenced in an instant.

However, the result was evident.

Within just a few tens of seconds, Ding Qiuyue was already defeated.

Of course, Zhuo Wanzong didn’t dare to overdo it or harm anyone; he merely knocked Ding Qiuyue off the Martial Arts Arena like a friendly sparring match.

On the seats of the Artifact Sect, including the old Sect Master and others, there was a look of despondency on their faces.

After Ding Qiuyue stepped down, she sheepishly looked at the Ding Family Patriarch, ”Grandfather Patriarch, I’m sorry.”

”Sigh.” The Ding Family Patriarch shook his head and sighed.

”Good.” At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly stood up from the Lin Family seats, ”The competition between the two sects has concluded.”

”The Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest can now be opened.”

Lin Ye glanced at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded.

Lin Xiao, the Lin Family Great Elder, and a group of Lin Family Elders moved to one side, then suddenly unleashed a powerful aura.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

One after another, Sword Qi Handprints were unleashed.

The Sword Qi Handprints, fierce and formidable, all entered the air.

Buzz... buzz... buzz...

The air emitted a series of resonant hums, vibrating incessantly.

The sword cultivators and experts around watched intently.

Xiao Yi was also watching, with some anticipation for the mystery of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.

At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a scorching gaze.

Following the gaze, Xiao Yi looked towards Lin Zifeng.

At this moment, Lin Zifeng’s eyes were complicated, carrying a hint of guilt.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, nodded, indicating that it was irrelevant.

Only then did Lin Zifeng smile and nod.

”Tsk tsk.” At this moment, Elder Yun Yuan remarked with amusement, ”Xiao Yi, since the battle at Heavenly King Mountain, your Junior Brother Zifeng has been quite the admirer.”

”Ha.” Xiao Yi chuckled, then shot a glance at the two, ”You both knew about Junior Brother Zifeng’s identity all along?”

Xiao Yi only learned today that this gentle and good-tempered Junior Brother Zifeng, often ’bullied’ by the Vice Dean, was actually Lin Zifeng, the number one Heavenly Talent in the Sword Domain and the Lin Family’s Young Master.

The two nodded.

As time gradually passed, an hour later.

Xiao Yi curiously asked, ”Does it always take this long to open the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest?”

Elder Yun Yuan nodded, replied, ”The Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest is enveloped by a tremendously powerful barrier.”

”However, Lin Xiao and his Lin Family members’ strength is not to be underestimated.”

”In about another hour, the barrier should be opened.”

Xiao Yi nodded.

But, at this moment, a displeased voice suddenly sounded.

”Does it really take this long just to open a barrier?”

”Domain Master.” The Lin Family members looked at Lin Ye with troubled faces.

In the vast Sword Domain, only this man dared to scold them so.

Firstly, Lin Ye is the Sword Domain Master.

Secondly, Lin Ye was the highest-ranking elder in the Lin Family.

Even the heads and elders of families here would probably have to address him as ”great-grandfather” repeatedly.

No wonder before, Lin Family Head Lin Xiao, this Supreme Sword Cultivator, would kneel without hesitation before the furious Lin Ye.

”Domain Master, this barrier is naturally incredibly sturdy...” Lin Xiao tried to explain.

”Hmph.” But unexpectedly, Lin Ye snorted coldly.

A flash of purple Thunder Sword Qi shot past.

Boom...

The space instantly collapsed, the barrier shattered in a flash.

”This...” The Lin Family crowd was stunned.

”As expected of the Domain Master, his strength is truly overwhelming.” The crowd could only chuckle awkwardly.

In mere moments, the barrier shattered completely.

Around them, an astounding scene unfolded.

One by one, the foreign sword cultivators gazed around in astonishment.

Even Xiao Yi revealed a shocked expression, drawing a sharp breath.

Surrounding them was no longer a dense forest.

But steles of various sword paths stood tall within.

For miles around, sword steles stood like a forest, probably numbering in the tens of thousands.

”So, the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest has been here all along?” Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Elder Yun Yuan chuckled lightly, ”Indeed, the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest has always been here.”

”But it was enveloped by a subspace.”

”Without breaking the barrier, the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest would never have appeared.”

Xiao Yi nodded, not responding further, for his gaze was already drawn to a colossal, towering sword stele among the tens of thousands.

That huge sword stele stood at the very center of the numerous steles.

The sword stele, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into the clouds.

With one look, Xiao Yi felt that this sword stele was so vast it blocked out the sun, so tall that its peak was beyond sight.

”This sword stele must be over ten thousand meters high, right?” Xiao Yi asked in astonishment.

”Ha.” Elder Yun Yuan replied, ”That is the foremost stele of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, the Sword Emperor’s Tombstone.”

”You can call it the Sword Emperor Stele.”

”The Sword Emperor’s Tombstone? As in the strongest swordsman in the history of the Flame Dragon Continent?” Xiao Yi asked in shock.

”Precisely.” Elder Yun Yuan nodded, ”Legend has it, during the fall of the Sword Dao Emperor, he sat here, transforming into the sword stele.”

”This Sword Emperor Stele contains all of the Sword Emperor’s Sword Dao Knowledge.”

”Sword Emperor.” Xiao Yi said with a heavy tone, ”Even a powerhouse of this level can fall?”

Hui Deacon solemnly stated, ”Before reaching Martial God, anyone, any powerful being can fall.”

Xiao Yi’s face became tense, yes, before reaching Martial God, anyone can die.

This world, only a Martial God stands supreme.

At this time, Lin Family Head Lin Xiao announced loudly, ”The Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest has opened, all sword cultivators may freely choose a sword stele and begin their comprehension.”

The eyes of the numerous sword cultivators lit up, showing joy.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Within moments, the sword cultivators disappeared from sight; their figures shuttling between the steles, searching for a sword stele that suited them.

It’s easy to see the allure these sword steles have for sword cultivators worldwide.

No wonder the grand event in the Sword Domain drew renowned sword cultivators from across the world.

Whoosh...

At this moment, Lin Ye swiftly appeared in front of Xiao Yi.

”Brother Xiao.” Lin Ye smiled wickedly.

”Brother Lin.” Xiao Yi gave a slight bow.

Elder Yun Yuan and the others wore unpleasant expressions.

Lin Ye glanced at the two, ”Oh, just now I forgot to greet you two.”

”Yun Yuan, young and yet ignoring others, it seems you’ve made considerable progress over the years.”

”Hmph.” Elder Yun Yuan and the others snorted coldly.

Second update.
