I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1556 - 368: This Is No Immortal Sword, It’s Practically a Demon Sword..._3
He knew that the magic sword they were talking about was Frostmourne.
Back then, he left Frostmourne in the Sunshine Shelter, hoping it could protect that place. Now it seems it really has done so.
As for those cultivators being killed by Frostmourne, he found it completely normal. Intrusions and destruction would naturally provoke Frostmourne’s resistance.
Without much thought, he carried the groceries he bought and headed home.
...
A month later.
The magic sword in the Frost Secret Realm did not scare away the numerous cultivators.
Instead, it aroused more attention from cultivators. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The Frost Secret Realm appeared in the Baoling Sect’s territory. Initially, other martial sects had no interest in secret realms within other sects’ territories. But as news of the magic sword spread wider, other sects began to converge towards the Baoling Sect.
An unowned magic sword capable of killing the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator three-yang Zhenren drove them completely mad.
Baoling Sect, Qianyang Sect, Immortal Weapon Pavilion, Qingxu Sect, Three Immortals Island, and other sects all turned their attention to the magic sword in the Frost Secret Realm.
Trying to subdue the magic sword single-handedly was naturally impossible.
Thus, the plan was to restrict the sword’s movements, thereby using formations or other treasures to refine the magic sword.
The allure of the magic sword was so strong that even the Blood Demon Ancestor couldn’t resist going for a gamble. After all, he was a cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm, skilled in many methods, and it’s not entirely impossible.
Ni Haisheng and Qi Yan often visited Lin Fan, recounting recent events. As each sect mobilized, prices for various resources circulating in the market increased substantially.
This made Ni Haisheng and Qi Yan’s lives much better off.
"Lin, what do you think is the origin of this magic sword?" Qi Yan asked, having learned of its battle achievements, truly terrified and exclaiming its horror, capable of casually killing late-stage Nascent Soul experts.
Lin Fan, busy trimming plants, pondered for a moment, "Perhaps to the magic sword, the secret realm is its home, and it doesn’t want its homeland destroyed."
Ni Haisheng rubbed his chin and said: "Meaning the magic sword is an accompanying artifact of the secret realm."
Though secret realms tend to appear at fixed times, the precious items inside like spirit grass and spirit fruits seem to form naturally within the realm, so it’s normal for accompanying artifacts to exist.
The three often exchanged simple dialogues like this.
...
Three months later.
Earth-shattering news spread.
The mighty experts of various sects who ventured into the Frost Secret Realm suffered heavy casualties, even the Divinity Transformation Blood Demon Ancestor was killed by the magic sword, shocking countless cultivators.
The Blood Demon Ancestor, who could coerce the Baoling Sect into surrendering land, was killed by the sword?
And those demonic cultivators in Blood Demon City, upon hearing the news, turned pale and fled in disarray. They dared to gather under the protection of the Blood Demon Ancestor, but now that he’s dead, how could the martial sects tolerate them?
Of course, the situation was far from simple.
The ultimate attempts of the various sects within the secret realm were unable to restrict the magic sword; they were instead counter-killed, with many sect cultivators dying.
Moreover, terrifyingly, the magic sword, wielding intelligence beyond expectation, even pursued fleeing cultivators beyond the realm, wreaking havoc externally, killing any encountered, turning the surroundings of the Frost Secret Realm into a hellish realm.
This left all cultivators dumbfounded.
Some were even terrified.
What they feared most was whether the magic sword would leave the realm’s limits and start a massacre in Central Continent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Who could stop it then?
The entire Central Continent would turn into an infernal region.
Lin Fan, staying in an outer city, sighed upon hearing the gossip. He knew it was time for him to visit unavoidably, simply shocked that those cultivators forced Frostmourne to such an extreme. Frostmourne possessed spirit, guarding its homeland obediently, but those cultivators, like locusts, came wave after wave, driving Frostmourne into distress.
It must be like this.
At night.
Lin Fan silently left the outer city, heading toward the secret realm.
At the secret realm.
Many powerful cultivators were at a distance from the realm, staring in. Their expressions heavy and grave.
Never will they forget what they saw some time ago.
Truly terrifying.
Mighty cultivators across Central Continent gathered here, initially thinking subduing the magic sword wouldn’t take much time, yet once the battle began, they realized the foolishness of such thoughts.
"This magic sword is beyond our ability to subdue."
Some cultivators had already despaired.
No thoughts remaining.
The reason they stayed was simply the sects unwilling to leave; not a single one was willing to go, even knowing the sword was nearly unattainable, its allure just too compelling.
"We’ve lost innumerable Nascent Soul cultivators, even two Divinity Transformation experts have fallen, this secret realm has been devastating for Central Continent’s Cultivation World."
"Indeed, who would have imagined a magic sword could shatter the forces of so many martial sects?"
Cultivators gazed through the dark toward the sword floating in the distance.
The magic sword hovered motionless.
Under moonlight’s glow, it shimmered with a cold lustre, daunting to look upon.
And suddenly.
"Look, there’s a reckless cultivator stealthily approaching the magic sword."
