Perfect World: Sword of Legends

Chapter 197 Original Imperial City
However, Yun Ying certainly cannot do it now. Not to mention the many immortal kings in the foreign land, just the ancient artifact of origin is definitely not something that a creature at the Immortal King level can touch at will.

And to open the ancient artifact of origin is definitely more difficult, and it is not something that the Immortal King can do.

"In the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength. Emperor, I will definitely set foot here!"

Yun Ying collected her thoughts and her eyes became completely calm, but her determination to pursue the Tao became even stronger.

Next, Yun Ying continued to study this source of darkness.

After a few days, Yun Ying also had some understanding of the origin of that darkness.

"It is indeed a power from the outside world. It is almost indestructible in this world. It can also corrode the bodies and spirits of living beings, and affect people's minds and consciousness. It is extremely demonic."

Yun Ying looked at the ray of dark origin in her palm and muttered to herself.

Perhaps because it came from an immortal king, this dark origin was extremely pure and rare in the world.

If a True Immortal were here, he would not be able to resist the erosion of this level of dark power, and would soon be transformed into a Dark True Immortal and no longer be himself.

"However, I can use this otherworldly power to sharpen my sword. It is an excellent sword whetstone."

She thought of this and realized that if she was tempered by this kind of otherworldly power, her sword skills would surely improve dramatically.

So next, Yun Ying began to use this dark origin to hone his sword skills.

During this period of tempering, Yun Ying was surprised to find that the power of the origin of darkness had quietly merged into her sword skills.

Moreover, this integration is not erosion, but achievement.

Yes, achievement!
This is a very incredible phenomenon. To Yun Ying, it seemed that this ray of dark origin had a special will. After discovering that her sword god was very powerful, it changed its strategy and stopped invading her. Instead, it became a help.

This kind of help will make Yunying's sword skills even stronger.

"Want to help me become stronger? Or are you going to retreat in order to advance, and influence me in another way?"

Yun Ying was not afraid of such changes. She knew that there was no free lunch in the world and there must be something fishy about this abnormal phenomenon. But she was fearless and confident that she could handle everything.

Even this kind of otherworldly power cannot shake Yun Ying's will.

Time passed, and by the time this ray of dark origin was wiped out, more than two months had passed.

In the past two months, Yun Ying's cultivation, which had just been broken through, has been stabilized.

Of course, the most important thing is the improvement of the Sword God Way. Under the tempering and achievement of that ray of dark origin, the Sword God Way has undergone a strange change.

This strange change caused Yunying's sword art to give birth to an eternal aura, and it seemed incompatible with this world.

In addition, this eternal aura began to have an impact on her, from Taoism to people, penetrating into her body and spirit, just like that ray of dark origin, even the avenue of this world cannot easily erase it.

Yunying herself seemed to be changing in this direction, becoming a creature similar to the origin of darkness, and endowed with that immortal quality.

“The end of immortality is eternity and transcendence.”

From beginning to end, Yun Ying was aware of every slight change in herself and just watched quietly without any tension or anxiety.

The integration of this otherworldly power may be a blessing or a curse, but whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on Yun Ying herself.

Now, Yun Ying has achieved the status of Immortal King and condensed the Dao Fruit, but this Dao Fruit still needs to be nurtured, grown and matured until it is ripe.

This process is also the only way from king to emperor.

In this way, a year passed quietly.

On this day, Shi Hao returned from his training and came here to look for Yun Ying. After a year, his cultivation had reached the first level of escape.

In just one year, he cultivated from the middle stage of the Kill Me Realm to the First Escape Realm. This speed is very fast and is not inferior to Yun Ying.

More importantly, he is not even thirty years old now. In the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, except for the special case of Yun Ying, there is no other great cultivator who is so young in the First Escape Realm.

"Phew, no matter how you look at it, this scene is so shocking."

Shi Hao raised his head and looked at the star pillar in front of him. A bloody head was hanging on it, and a strong aura of immortality was in the air.

If no one knew it, no one would have thought that this was the head of an Immortal King, and that the Immortal King was called An Lan.

"Yun Ying, here I come."

Withdrawing his gaze, Shi Hao looked forward, where there was a figure shrouded in fairy mist.

I saw countless spots of light shining, and each spot of light was a vast world of swordsmanship, infinite and endless, evolving the cycle of life and death, and the birth and death of all things.

He could clearly feel an extremely sharp aura, the best he had ever seen in his life. No other sword technique he had ever seen could compare to it.

It was as if nothing in this world could stop this kind of swordsmanship.

Shi Hao knew that this was Yun Ying's own swordsmanship, which was different from any other swordsmanship in the world. It was more profound and more powerful.

It’s a pity that his realm is too low, and he can’t tell how powerful Yun Ying’s swordsmanship is. He only has a very vague feeling.

brush!
When Shi Hao's voice was heard, a line of eyes woke up and the whole world suddenly stopped.

The fairy mist dissipated, the light spots in the sky disappeared, and Yunying woke up with a purple dress fluttering slightly.

She looked at Shi Hao and nodded at him, "Okay."

After saying that, Yun Ying stood up. To Shi Hao, it was like a mountain of swords rising from the ground and directly piercing through the sky.

This feeling quickly disappeared, but it made Shi Hao's soul throb. He was really curious about how far Yun Ying had gone in the Immortal King realm.

Based on his understanding of Yun Ying, she would never stand still even if only a day or even an hour had passed.

"Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Hao had no time to come back to his senses before the scene in front of him changed drastically and he came to an unfamiliar place.

"Where is this place?"

Shi Hao looked around and found that he was above the sky. Looking down, the boundless desert was in sight.

Moreover, he also saw the moving Tianyuan. He and Yunying had arrived above the Tianyuan without knowing when.

"The city you are looking for is right there."

Yun Ying's voice sounded, causing Shi Hao's face to slightly condense, and he looked ahead carefully.

"A continent?!"

The moment he saw clearly, Shi Hao's face was filled with shock. There was a continent there, surrounded by a golden light curtain.

On the mainland, an ancient city stood there, like a giant immortal, exuding endless momentum.

The moment he saw the ancient city, Shi Hao's heart started beating rapidly and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was excitement or happiness, sadness or grievance.

"It is this, that city, the original imperial city guarded by the seven kings of the Borderland!"

Shi Hao's whole body was trembling. He looked at the ancient city and was so excited that he couldn't control himself. After so many dreams about it, he finally found it.

He really wanted to rush over immediately, climb up to the ancient city, and meet the people inside, his people.

"This city is very old. It is more solid and immortal than the Imperial Pass below. There is also an almighty powerful man in charge of it. However, his condition is not good. It can be said to be very bad." Yun Ying said slowly, with a hint of different emotion in her tone.

Hearing Yun Ying say this, Shi Hao was shocked, "Yun Ying, can you..."

"No," Yun Ying interrupted Shi Hao before he could finish.

The supreme strong man inside is almost at the end of his rope, and has long since merged himself with the city. As long as the city is alive, the people are alive; if the city dies, the people die.

The function of this original imperial city now is to control the Tianyuan, and use the power of the supreme rules of the immortal way in the Tianyuan to keep the immortals and immortal kings from foreign lands out.

After hearing Yun Ying's answer, Shi Hao's lips moved, but he could not say any more words.

The fate of the seven kings of the borderland is already determined and no one can change it.

"Let's talk after we go in."

Yunying rolled up his sleeves and took Shi Hao through the golden light curtain and into the barrier.

The two men landed on the ground and looked forward. There was only dark red and white. The dark red was blood, and the white was the shattered bones.

The land here is made up of piles of bones. After who knows how much time has passed, it is all broken bones.

“A lot of big shots died here!”

The first thing Shi Hao realized when he landed was that some supreme figures had died in battle here, and there was still a terrible murderous aura pervasive.

His body was trembling, but not because of fear. Instead, his blood was boiling and resonating, as if a power was awakening in his body.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao's eyebrows glowed, forming a very ancient pattern. The light shot up into the sky and broke the clouds in the sky.

"The immortal mark of inheritance in the blood."

Yun Ying looked at the lines between Shi Hao's eyebrows and felt the breath of blessing from heaven and earth. In this way, this mark was once blessed by heaven and earth.

However, in the Three Thousand Dao States, this kind of pattern was called the Mark of Sin and Blood.

"Yes, history can be distorted."

As if she understood something, Yun Ying withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention.

"Let's go, many of your questions will be answered here."

Yun Ying said softly and walked towards the original imperial city.

"Yeah," Shi Hao suppressed his excitement and followed.

After a while, Yun Ying and Shi Hao arrived in front of the original imperial city.

This original imperial city is much smaller than the Imperial Pass and is built with huge stones, but it gives people a feeling that it is even more majestic than the Imperial Pass.

This is because this original imperial city has existed for too long, having experienced the flames of war and been soaked in the blood of immortals, but it has never fallen and has become an eternal city.

In front of the mottled city wall, there were piles of skeletons burning, covered by an immortal magic circle.

"Immortal Path Formation!"

Shi Hao was shocked when he looked at the blazing fires. The bones burning in these fires were all immortal bones.

This shows what a terrible war had broken out here, even the bones of immortals were used as fuel here.

Just at this moment, a figure appeared on the city wall.

Looking over, I saw some children, dressed in rags, ranging from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years old. There were also a few elderly people with injuries that had not been treated and had left the roots of their wounds.

Among them, an old man stared at the glowing lines on Shi Hao's forehead, and a hint of spirit appeared in his old eyes.

However, when he looked at the figure beside Shi Hao, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Who is coming!"

Not long after, the old man spoke, his voice was awkward and wary.

Even though he knew what the lines between Shi Hao's eyebrows represented, he did not relax his vigilance, but became even more wary of Yun Ying.

Just at the first glance, the old man knew that Yun Ying was an extremely terrifying existence. Even though he was in the city, he felt his soul tremble.

This feeling was exactly the same as when I faced the kings in the city, or even worse.

"Senior! I am Shi Hao, from the Shi Clan!"

Shi Hao opened his mouth and looked up at the children and the elderly on the top of the city wall, full of respect, with excitement surging in his chest.

After hearing Shi Hao's words, the old man's body trembled slightly, but he still didn't completely believe it because of Yun Ying.

"Don't worry, senior. He is not an enemy, but the Immortal King of our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. A year ago, he killed an Immortal King from a foreign land. As you know, An Lan is dead!"

Shi Hao saw that the old man was wary of Yun Ying, so he began to explain.

"What?! An Lan died! And it was a year ago."

After hearing what Shi Hao said, the old man widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

However, he quickly thought of something, "A year ago, the great war in the universe..."

Thinking of this, the old man looked at Yun Ying with shocked eyes. Although the battle took place outside the sky, he also saw it in the original imperial city.

Although he didn't know which two supreme figures were fighting each other, he still couldn't forget the terrifying fluctuations of that battle.

Because, it has been who knows how long since such a powerful battle broke out, involving supreme figures.

"Sir, please forgive us for the offense."

The old man looked at Yun Ying, such a young Immortal King who also killed An Lan, the immortal king from a foreign land, and had extraordinary fighting power.

If such a supreme powerful being were to get angry, this original imperial city would probably be in trouble.

"No need to do that. This is your duty. However, this city has nothing to do with me. He is one of your people. I don't want to enter the city. You just need to let him in."

Yun Ying nodded slightly, then turned and walked away.

Seeing this scene, the old man opened his mouth but said nothing. This young man was too easy to talk to.

However, he did not think too much about it. He looked at Shi Hao and asked him to undergo testing first to make sure there were no problems before entering the city.

After completing the test, Shi Hao was led into the ancient city.

At this time, Yun Ying came to the edge of the continent. She lowered her eyes and looked over. That was the direction of the foreign land.

In the past, every time the foreign land attacked the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they would test this place first.

Only the power of a True Immortal can penetrate the barrier at the edge of the continent.

Over the years, the people in the original imperial city have been constantly fighting against the temptations and invasions from foreign lands, resulting in a decline in population, leaving only the elderly, the weak and the sick.
