Chapter 1324: Chapter 542: Heavenly Tomb Secrets! Call of the Soul!
How many were there in total? It was impossible to even calculate. If the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm before them was laid out like the outside world, then at this very moment, each corresponding tombstone was connected to the outside, meaning the entire Northern Border was such an Undead desolate land. The Souls that met Death upon it—their ultimate souls—would all be guided to this place. Then just how large was this Secret Realm world? And as for the most core location, the true Heavenly Tomb tombstone node at the center where they had entered… when on earth would they ever find it?
It should be known that for a Black Sword to open a passage and locate a tombstone node, in terms of Time, it could only be used once. However, the appearance of a Black Sword and the sound of a sword chime had an interval Time of about half a Xiaoshi. But the tombstone clusters in the outside Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land—the large and small tombstones… let alone the White Bone Desolate Land or even the entire Northern Border, just the core tombstone clusters guarding the Heavenly Tomb numbered far more than tens of thousands! Unless they had good luck, how else could they find the most central Heavenly Tomb in such a Secret Realm world that mirrored the outside?
Even if he could persist like this forever, what about the others? Li Feng, Zhu Linxin, and the recent Liang Yifan… what about them? The Heavenly Tomb was far from as simple as they had thought. Even the Pet Beasts resulting from dedicated Breeding—Pet Beasts with heaven-defying combat power—didn’t even have a chance to strike at the enemy. Amidst the continuous, iron-striking sword chimes, they were turned into these ghastly Sword Souls, ultimately sacrificed to whatever was behind the scenes.
Su Ping could not accept this outcome. But what could he do even if he didn’t?
Thinking of this, Su Ping’s heart was completely buried in despair. This was the first time he had felt this way since becoming a Beastmaster. This Heavenly Tomb had become a true inescapable death trap. Even with the Celestial Tomb Mark present, meaning this inescapable death trap wasn’t targeting him, the feeling of helplessly watching the souls of those around him turn into cold swords made him feel even more powerless.
This despair lasted for a full several Xiaoshi. During this Time of several Xiaoshi, Li Feng and the others had been going back and forth. They even found several new Heavenly Tomb members. However, that was all.
This point was evident from the scene unfolding right before his eyes at this very moment. Even in his despair, Su Ping was still holding onto an Immortal resolve, contemplating certain clues and possibilities.
“CLANG!”
That damned, seemingly everlasting reverberating sound rang in his ears once more. But at this moment, a shout rang out.
“Xiao Zhu, what are you doing?”
In terms of soul corruption, Zhu Linxin’s condition was the most exaggerated. On the display of the soul detector, the shape of his soul was already infinitely close to a sword. And the position of the sword hilt was exactly his somewhat Wooden and stiff spiritual face. This shout was directed at this favored son of heaven from Tianfu Province. Li Feng looked at Zhu Linxin. As the one with the most severe changes, Zhu Linxin’s sword-retrieval position was also right here at the central tombstone point. But when the sword chime rang out again, Zhu Linxin, who was the most heavily affected and corrupted, suddenly seemed possessed by a Demon. He ignored the constantly changing Undead existences circling around him, his eyes firmly locked onto that pitch-black tombstone. He reached out his hand, seemingly wanting to touch that bizarre tombstone together with the Undead surrounding it. There was no light in his eyes, as if at this moment, he had completely become a puppet to the sword chime. The finally forged Sword Soul was ready for its “sacrifice.”
The sound was still as piercing and sharp as ever. Still fighting the agony brought by the noise, Su Ping hastily shouted at Li Feng, who seemed to have begun adapting to it, “Captain Li, hold him back quickly!”
Li Feng had clearly noticed something was wrong and grabbed him directly. The latter seemed entirely oblivious, his eyes fixed firmly on the Stele, as if something there was drawing him in.
Su Ping hurriedly roared, “Brother Xin, think about your family! Your parents are still waiting for you to come home! When I get out, I still need to give you my autograph! We’ll go to Tianfu together…”
“Par… ents…”
A hint of confusion appeared in Zhu Linxin’s eyes, and his struggling movements instantly slowed down significantly. At the same time, the Celestial Tomb Mark reappeared, immediately suppressing the agony of the sound. Su Ping stood up abruptly and joined in grabbing Zhu Linxin. The Celestial Tomb Mark was helpful to him, but it offered absolutely no help to anyone else.
And Zhu Linxin, who had just restrained himself a bit, descended into Madness once again from the continuous ringing sounds at this very moment. It was even more intense than before. This kind of Madness could not be reversed, even by a Pet Beast. Even the surrounding Five Elements Paper Spirit and Night Raven Scarecrow looked sluggish, appearing extremely bewildered.
However, after tightly securing Zhu Linxin, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Su Ping’s mind. He realized that he seemed to have overlooked a very important matter. These continuous sounds turned all Living Beings and all souls that had entered the Heavenly Tomb Secret Realm into swords. But what came after?
