Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 94: The Origin of the Ancient Battlefield, the Sacred Beast Suzaku! ( words long chapter)
"Boy, do you want to die?"

The big man with blood ring stared with his eyes wide open and stood in front of Lin Xuan with a ferocious look on his face.

Originally, when the big man with the blood-red earring saw Lin Xuan and his group coming over, he thought that Lin Xuan had come here on his own initiative to hand over the Nirvana Pill. The big man even planned to use Lin Xuan and his group as an example for others to watch.

As a result, Lin Xuan's response made the big man feel like he was being fooled. He immediately blocked Lin Xuan and stared at him with a fierce look on his face.

Behind the big man, more than a dozen powerful men in the realm of artificial transformation also surrounded him, and powerful momentum swept around.

Lin Xuan ignored the big man in front of him, but just looked up at the city wall. He has never been a bloodthirsty person. Most of the time, he is very reasonable. A strong man, if he only pursues killing, is nothing more than a slave to the sword in his hand.

But at the same time, Lin Xuan is not a talkative person. Sword can often help those who like to talk to shut up quietly.

"Haha, you have courage!"

Under Lin Xuan's gaze, on the city wall, a young man dressed in gold was standing with his arms folded. With a sneer on his harsh lips, he was looking at Lin Xuan and his group below.

"Anyone who dares to provoke our Holy Light Dynasty must be prepared to die!"

"You are all from the Holy Light Dynasty?"

Lin Xuan calmly withdrew his gaze. He did not like to look up to talk to people, nor did he like to lower his head. Behind Lin Xuan, Lin Dong and others were all staring coldly at the strong men of the Holy Light Dynasty who were surrounding them.

All around, the contestants from other dynasties were standing by, watching everything coldly.

"Hehe, this big fool is so courageous that he dares to block the Sword Saint's way. Tsk tsk!"

Xiao Diao’s voice echoed in Lin Dong’s mind. That gloating tone perfectly explained what it meant to enjoy watching the fun.

“Lin Dong, remember to loot the pills later. These guys blocked the road and robbed the Nirvana Pills. They must have at least a few thousand Nirvana Pills on them, which will be just right for you to use for cultivation.”

Before this, when Lin Dong got married, Lin Xuan gave him a generous gift, a full 100,000 Nirvana Pills. However, Lin Dong still had the Blood Spirit Puppet in his hand, and he also left some for the Lin family and Mu Qianqian, so Lin Dong was almost left with nothing now.

Lin Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Is it really okay for this little mink to pick up the young patriarch's things like this? However, the young patriarch didn't seem to care much, right? He had never seen him take someone's Qiankun bag after killing someone.

"Hmph, that's right, I am Li Sheng from the Holy Light Dynasty, boy, you..."

Li Sheng stood on the city wall with his arms folded and a proud look on his face. He was just about to say something, but before he could finish his words, his life force was cut off by an invisible force.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

It wasn't just Li Sheng, there were also other people from the Holy Light Dynasty, a dozen of them, dozens of powerful men in the Fate Realm, who actually turned into dozens of corpses in full view of everyone, fell to the ground, and made dull sounds.

Looking at the people from the Holy Light Dynasty who fell to the ground silently, the faces of the contestants from other dynasties around them suddenly changed, and they stared in horror at the figure in white clothes and silver hair, who was standing there with extraordinary elegance.

indifferent!

A soul-freezing coldness emanated from that figure that was tougher than frost and snow, causing everyone to stand still, not daring to move in the slightest.

Lin Xuan ignored the people around him. He didn't like killing, but compared to killing, he hated those who sought death even more.

Behind him, looking at Lin Xuan walking towards the city, Lin Dong quickly waved his sleeves and rolled up all the bodies of those people. Then, he directly began to search the people of the Holy Light Dynasty.

After packing up everything, Lin Dong, Lin Ke'er and the other three walked into the city.

After seeing Lin Xuan and his group leave, the remaining contestants from other dynasties couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but no one dared to go inside.

After all, the cold-faced killer god was inside. Anyone with such means must be a strong man in the Nirvana realm. Moreover, even in the Nirvana realm, he is definitely a strong man. If they rashly broke in and angered the killer god, he would directly slaughter them all...

But if we don't go in, there will be even more dangers outside.

After a period of stalemate, finally, a strong man from the dynasty bravely and cautiously walked towards the city gate.

When they stood at the city gate, they saw that the god of death did not take action, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"call!"

But at this moment, a breeze blew, and a chill instantly hit their backs and their clothes, which had already been soaked, making those people's faces turn cold.

But the next moment, they were surprised to find that they were still alive. Before they could smile after surviving a calamity, they were horrified to find that the flag of the Holy Light Dynasty planted next to the city gate had turned into powder and drifted in the air.

"hiss!"

All the contestants who were blocked outside the city couldn't help but gasp. This was such a trick. Were they really participating in the same thing?

I'm afraid only the strong ones from super sects can possess such extraordinary means, right?

However, apart from being a little indifferent, that gentleman seemed to be quite nice in other aspects. At least, not only did he help get rid of those hateful guys from the Holy Light Dynasty, he even didn't charge them any entrance fee.

Moreover, with such a great figure in the city, they feel more secure in their practice.

……

The sun had just set and darkness was about to engulf the earth when a dark red full moon slowly rose, emitting bursts of eerie light.

With the reflection of the blood-red full moon, in the red night, there were occasional low roars of beasts, echoing across the vast land.

In the very center of the city, there are nine stone platforms. Among them, the eight outer stone towers form the shape of Bagua, located in the eight directions. In the middle of the eight stone towers, there is an even larger stone platform.

On top of the stone platform, a figure in white stood gracefully on the spire. The cold wind at night blew up the silver hair and white clothes, like another cold moon, illuminating the entire city.

In the city, many powerful people would feel at ease whenever they looked at the misty figure floating in the wind in the center of the city.

That talkative adult has been standing on the top of the tower every night for the past three days, drinking by himself. Although no one knows what he is doing, because of his presence, the city does not have to worry too much about the nighttime monster tide, and no monster dares to approach the city.

Even many powerful people would leave the city at night and choose to hunt monsters, such as the younger generations following that adult.

Looking up at the dark red blood moon, there was a hint of strange color flashing in Lin Xuan's eyes. He liked standing on the top of the tower, not to feel the night breeze, but to feel the energy in the blood moon.

After three days of contemplation, Lin Xuan has already had some guesses about the origin of this ancient battlefield.

This place should have once been a part of the ancient demon continent. According to Lin Xuan's guess, a more accurate statement should be that this ancient space and the current demon domain together constitute the real demon continent.

However, in the more ancient times before the war between aliens and demons, a shocking war broke out, shattering the entire demon continent. The more intact part became the current demon domain.

The main battlefield of that war has become the ancient battlefield today.

Lin Xuan could even guess the identities of the top warriors on both sides of that shocking battle - the Four Sacred Beasts and the Four Evil Beasts.

The Azure Dragon in the east, the Vermillion Bird in the south, the White Tiger in the west, and the Black Tortoise in the north!

It is very likely that each of them has reached the ancestral realm, which is why they were able to break up the huge ancient demon continent, and knock such a large piece of continental debris into space and preserve it successfully.

The Sixuan Sect in the ancient battlefield was most likely a latecomer who obtained some of the relics of the four sacred beasts and thus established their power.

As for why there are only some remnants, it is because the blood moon above his head is not a real moon, but the flesh and blood of the four ancient sacred beasts. It's just that because of that shocking battle, the fierce aura in the bodies of the four beasts was integrated into it.

Including the heaven and earth, the more intense Nirvana aura is far superior to that of the outside world. Even the mountain gates of those super sects cannot compare to this ancient battlefield. In fact, it is all due to the influence of the sacred beast Suzaku.

Therefore, every night, when the blood moon appears in the sky, the "moonlight" containing the weak blood power of the four sacred beasts and the evil spirit of the four evil beasts will stimulate those low-intelligence monsters to start rioting.

The reason why Lin Xuan knew all this was due to his research on the broken arm of the Nine Kings Palace, which gave him some insights into the vitality of flesh and blood. Coupled with Jian Xin's insight, he was able to perceive all of this.

As for this city, it is even simpler. The nine stone platforms in the city are actually a large formation. Not only can they condense the huge energy of Nirvana, but they can also resist the suppression of Yuanli when the majestic vitality descends.

Lin Xuan raised his head to drink the remaining spiritual wine in the pot and was about to fall from the top of the stone tower. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he looked up at the blood-red moon.

The originally dark red blood moon, at this moment, also turned like bright red blood, and faintly, there was a stream of vigorous vitality coming out of it.

"Roar!!"

At this moment, outside the city, roars of beasts filled with ferocity and brutality were heard, and then the earth began to tremble.

"Woo!!!"

A siren sounded in the city, and soon after, auras of extraordinary auras leaped onto the top of the city walls, and when they looked at the huge wave of monsters outside the city that was surging like a tide, many people turned pale instantly.

But the next moment, an astonishing aura emanated from the center of the city, causing many people to feel a chill in their hearts, and then a look of joy appeared on their faces.

"Is your Excellency going to take action?"

Many people even turned back subconsciously and looked towards the stone tower in the center of the city. But when they turned around, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and show surprise on their faces.

I saw that the figure in white was gradually rising into the air, and astonishing sword energy emanated from his body.

When the figure in white gradually overlapped with the blood moon in the sky, everyone suddenly discovered that the blood-red moon had become white and dazzling.

"Boom!!!"

At this moment, a special wave emanated from the bright moon.

Under this special wave, there were countless ferocious dark red swords gathered between heaven and earth. Those swords emitted a heart-pounding wave, making these people understand that any sword was enough to end their lives.

"fall!!"

A light shout was heard, and the next moment, everyone saw a scene that they would never forget.

As the sound was heard, countless dark red swords turned into countless dark red streams of light, flying towards the tide of monsters that were surging from all directions outside the city.

Under the fierce sword, the monsters that had turned into a tide fell to the ground one after another like fields of wheat being cut.

In the blink of an eye, the countless waves of monsters had turned into countless corpses, lying on the cold ground.

"Hiss! As expected of a sword master, this is a group attack method!"

Xiao Diao looked at the shocking scene, his small eyes now looked like a pair of small copper bells. Lin Dong beside him also took a breath of cold air.

He then realized that compared to the young patriarch, he, who was known as the embryo killer, was actually harmless to humans and animals.

Lin Xuan slowly floated down, then formed seals with his hands, and his huge mental power instantly swept across the entire land. Then, all the demon crystals, as if attracted by something, gathered above the city.

"This is?"

Lin Dong looked at Lin Xuan's actions in confusion. The little marten beside him scratched his head with his claws and looked at the special pattern composed of countless blood-red demon crystals. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"This looks like a large formation, and also like a totem. It seems to be somewhat similar to the group of mixed-feathered birds of the Nine Phoenix Clan!"

"Aren't you from the Sky Demon Marten Clan, one of the overlords of the Demon Realm? How could you not recognize something from the Demon Beast Clan?"

Looking at the unreliable Xiao Diao, Lin Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes. Xiao Diao's face turned anxious when he heard that, and he quickly explained.

"What are you talking about? How can you say you don't know what happened to Master Diao? This thing is not something that belongs to our monster clan at all!"

When the little mink heard Lin Dong say that it couldn't do it, it immediately became anxious. Although it liked to sleep, and even its strength was improved by sleeping, but could the matter of the royal bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Marten be called sleeping? Then accept the inheritance, that is to practice hard!

However, in the blood inheritance, Xiao Diao really didn't know what this thing that looked like both a formation and a totem was.

"Tsk, if you don't know, then you don't know. I just know that you, a little mink, are unreliable!"

Lin Dong curled his lips and said, staring at the huge fiery red formation that was large enough to cover the entire city, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This is definitely not something from the monster clan!"

At this moment, a slightly vicissitudes of life voice sounded in Lin Dong's body, causing Lin Dong and Xiao Diao's faces to change suddenly.

Without waiting for Lin Dong and Xiao Diao to ask, the weathered voice spoke again.

"No need to investigate. I am the spirit of the ancestral stone, named Yan. I was able to wake up so quickly, thanks to that person. He risked his life to kill the clone of the Nine Kings Palace and left behind that precious Demon Emperor Armor!"

"Demon King Armor? Is that thing very precious?"

Lin Dong and Xiao Diao were both stunned for a moment. This name sounded very ordinary, not as domineering as the Sky Scale Ancient Halberd. However, when they thought that the name Zushi was even more ordinary, but it was the most top-notch treasure in the world, they felt relieved.

Perhaps, the more powerful the divine object is, the more ordinary its name may be, just like the sword in the young patriarch's hand, it seems that it does not even have a name, but it can fight against the Demon King Armor.

"The Demon King Armor and I are treasures of the same level, but I just happen to be able to restrain them!"

Yan explained softly, and Xiao Diao, who was hiding in the ancestral stone, looked at the strange figure in surprise, and then hurriedly said with a smile.

"Do you really recognize this thing?"

"In fact, I haven't seen it either. Not only me, but even the master hasn't seen it before!"

Yan did not hide anything and took the initiative to speak. Lin Dong’s pupils shrank when he heard that. The master that Yan was talking about was probably none other than the legendary Master Fu Zu.

After hearing Yan's words, the little mink's small face was full of joy and he quickly spoke.

“Lin Dong, did you hear me clearly? Don’t blame everything on me, Master Diao. It’s because Master Sword Saint is too powerful and has too many tricks. So isn’t it normal that Master Diao doesn’t recognize him?”

"You call him Sword Saint? Why not Formation Master? His talent in formation is much stronger than that of our master back then."

Yan looked at Xiao Diao strangely, and at the huge spiritual formation above his head that was even more dazzling and bright, with a faint, fiery red light constantly flowing through it.

The fiery red streams of light seemed to form a huge divine bird totem as they flowed.

"If I'm not mistaken, the divine bird totem on the formation he set up should be the legendary sacred beast Suzaku, which is an existence even more ancient than the master."

"Sacred beast Suzaku?"

The little mink felt cold when it heard this. This name seemed a little strange to it, and Lin Dong became even more confused.

"Yes, the sacred beast Suzaku is said to be one of the earliest creatures in the Profound Sky Continent. Nowadays, many demon beasts in the Profound Sky Continent have their bloodlines from those sacred beasts and fierce beasts from ancient times. As for the more specific ones, not to mention me, even the master doesn't know much about them."

Yan said softly, looking at the huge spiritual formation composed of countless blood-colored demon crystals. In the distance, the fiery red divine bird totem that had begun to emit an ancient and sacred pressure was also somewhat amazed.

"He should be using these demon crystals to activate the Vermillion Bird Spiritual Formation, thereby lighting up the Vermillion Bird Totem and summoning the Vermillion Bird Fire, which is the legendary Nirvana Flame, also known as the Immortal Fire, which is even more terrifying than the Nirvana Fire of the Nirvana Tribulation."

"Nirvana Flame? Does that have something to do with the Nirvana Realm?"

"Yes, it is said that the earliest practice method was learned by humans from the sacred beast Suzaku. The method of Nirvana and the eternal reincarnation are the unique practice rules of Tianxuan Continent!"

After hearing Lin Dong’s question, Yan couldn’t help but nodded, looking at the white-clothed figure sitting cross-legged above the formation, and couldn’t help but exclaimed in amazement.

"It's a pity that over the countless years, no one has ever truly comprehended the true meaning of Nirvana. He should be the first person since ancient times."

In fact, even Lin Xuan himself did not know that the origin of his practice method was related to the legendary sacred beast Vermillion Bird.

Lin Xuan just thought that the nirvana energy of this world was transformed by the sacred beast Vermillion Bird. After being absorbed by those monsters, it was contained in the monster crystals. He might be able to summon the nirvana fire of the sacred beast Vermillion Bird through these monster crystals to temper his body.

Even this great formation was created when a blessing came to his mind when the formation was being set up, thus transforming the originally ordinary Nirvana Qi into a spiritual formation.

Lin Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the huge spiritual formation with his eyes closed, and his hands were each making a magic gesture.

At this time, Lin Xuan had completely entered into that special state of enlightenment. In his perception, there were traces of Nirvana energy constantly flowing in the spirit formation under him.

At a certain moment, the seals of his hands changed, and then all the demon crystals suddenly lit up. Violent energy gushed out instantly and gathered in the space to form a huge fiery red shadow of a red-feathered divine bird.

"Wow!!"

The moment the phantom of the divine bird appeared, a clear bird song exploded in everyone's ears.

As the bird's cry sounded, the blood moon in the sky suddenly brightened, and a blood-red beam of light fell directly, covering Lin Xuan who was sitting cross-legged in the air.

"boom!"

At the moment the beam of light fell, an extremely terrifying flame directly engulfed Lin Xuan. The violent fire of Nirvana continued to burn Lin Xuan's body, and his long silver hair was instantly burned to ashes.

Under the burning of the extremely terrifying Nirvana fire, Lin Xuan's entire body instantly turned into a skeleton. The flesh and blood on his body completely disappeared. Only a light golden illusory long sword was suspended in his dantian. At the same time, at the position of his heart, there was a heart with a clear color that continued to beat.

"That is, the spirit?"

Below, the pupils of countless contestants shrank instantly. Although countless people were amazed at the terrifying power of the flame, they were also shocked at Lin Xuan's strength - his primordial spirit, which could only be condensed by a high-level Nirvana realm powerhouse.

“Hiss, he has already condensed his spirit at the Seventh Element Nirvana Realm? This guy is such a pervert!”

The little mink was so frightened that it couldn't close its mouth. It knew that this guy was a homebody and had never been anywhere. He didn't have any treasures to help him, but he just practiced on his own and directly condensed his soul in the Seven Yuan Nirvana Realm?

"No, compared to his soul, his bones and heart are even more terrifying!"

Yan said in a deep voice, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
