Chapter 5122 The Palace of the Red Robes
Chapter 5122 The Red-Clad Palace
Protected by the silver light curtain descending from the Void Cauldron, the divine warship "Dawn" moved like a shadowy figure detached from space and time, silently passing through the layers of blockade imposed by the demon army. The hidden Heavenly River passage beneath the altar, a labyrinth formed by folded space, was like countless shattered mirrors; a slight misstep could lead to being lost in the endless void or to being torn to dust by the chaotic laws of space.
Fortunately, Amo, as the spirit of the Heavenly Emperor's herb garden, knows every single node of the array here like the back of his hand.
She waved her small hands continuously, casting out runes that only those within the ancient Heavenly Court could understand, guiding the divine ship to avoid all the killing formations and deadly traps.
"Om-"
After passing through a thin membrane at the end of the dark passage, the scene before you suddenly changes.
Gone was the suffocating demonic energy and oppression of the outside world; in its place was a unique realm of laws, which could even be described as "violent".
"That is......"
Standing at the bow of the ship, Jiuzhen, though he cultivated the perfect Daoist arts that encompassed everything, also felt a tremor from the depths of his soul.
The divine power within him began to stagnate, as if an invisible sword was hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.
"Sword intent... What terrifying sword intent! This is definitely not the kind of pressure that someone in the Immortal Realm could possess!"
He stared intently ahead, his pupils reflecting a dazzling galaxy.
But it wasn't a gathering of stars; it was—a sword.
The fragments of countless broken divine swords, some as long as a mountain, others as thin as a hair or a swimming dragon, spun and collided at high speed in the void, converging into a vast "river of sword energy" that stretched across the sky.
On each broken sword, there remains an undying sword intent.
These sword intents, whether domineering, gentle, graceful, or profound, all exude an overwhelming sense of power.
At the end of this river of swords, a cluster of red palaces, entirely crafted from crimson divine gold, floated in the void, appearing and disappearing in the mist. The palaces had long since collapsed, and the broken walls were covered with charred lightning marks, scars left by divine punishment in the past.
Even so, it still exudes an arrogant aura of dominance over heaven and earth, like a wounded red behemoth that still makes people dare not look directly at it even in its slumber.
"The Palace of the Red Robes..."
Amo peeked out from Su Bai's shoulder, looking at the familiar ruins, his eyes reddening again. "That was Sword Master's house... It used to be filled with red lanterns. Sword Master loved to sit on the roof drinking, and whenever she got drunk, she would use her sword to slash at the stars, and those falling stars would turn into a meteor shower..."
Su Bai gently stroked Amo's head, gazing intently at the starry river of sword energy, his heart equally shaken.
He is now at the peak of the God Realm, his physical body has been forged into a nine-layered Dao Tower, and he has comprehended more than seventy immortal divine runes. He is confident that he is invincible in the God Realm and can even compete with weaker immortals.
But this River of Swords...
"This is a remnant of the laws of the Tai Zhen Realm!"
Su Bai said in a deep voice, his tone filled with awe, "Sword Master... truly a supreme being of the Tai Zhen Realm! Every wisp of air here seems to have transformed into sword energy. If an ordinary deity were to rashly intrude, even with a shield for protection, their soul would be instantly shredded by that all-pervasive sword intent. Even I, in my current state, would pay a terrible price if I were to force my way in."
"To enter the Red Robe Palace, we must cross this River of Swords." Both Luo Yunsheng and Luo Yunyou had solemn expressions.
Especially Luo Yunsheng, whose three immortal divine runes automatically protected her, weaving a three-colored light screen on her body, but it was still suppressed by the sword intent and was about to collapse. "Junior brother, although your Void Cauldron is a spatial artifact, the sword intent here is too sharp and has touched the origin of 'annihilation'. I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely block it."
Jiuzhen also frowned. He tried to circulate the perfect Dao technique to assimilate the surrounding laws, but found that the sword intent was extremely exclusive and could not be shaken at all.
"No, this sword intent is too domineering. My Daoist cultivation level is not high enough. Forcing my way in will only be suicide." Jiuzhen smiled bitterly, forced to admit the gap.
"It doesn't matter."
Su Bai spoke calmly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
“Since this is the Sword Master’s dojo, there must be a way to get through. Forcing your way in is the worst option. Don’t forget, I have that senior’s token on me.”
As he spoke, Su Bai flipped his hand over.
"Buzz!"
An ancient, dark gold token appeared in his palm.
The token bears a powerful and vigorous character for "sword," which is the Sword Master Token that Su Bai obtained earlier!
The moment the token appeared, it emitted a gentle yet profound sword intent.
"go with!"
Su Bai gave a low shout and summoned the Sword Master's Token.
With divine power infused, the Sword Master's Token floated in front of the divine ship, radiating thousands of golden rays.
A magical scene happened.
Those billions of sword energies that were originally incredibly violent and tried to shred all outsiders suddenly froze the moment they sensed the aura of the Sword Master's command.
Immediately afterwards, the long river of sword energy that stretched across the sky seemed to part slowly to the sides, as if a subject had seen a king’s token, making way for a smooth passage that was only wide enough for a divine ship to pass through!
On both sides of the passage, the sword energy was like a wall, but it was no longer violent. Instead, it emitted bursts of cheerful sword cries, as if welcoming the return of an old friend.
"The Sword Master's Token... it really works!"
A hint of envy flashed in Jiuzhen's eyes. It seemed that Su Bai had gained more fortune in this world of myriad realms than she had imagined.
Catching up with them won't be that easy!
Upon seeing this, Luo Yunsheng and Luo Yunyou both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that inviting this Sword God King was indeed the right decision. Not only did he have a close relationship with the Human Emperor, but he had also obtained the Sword Master's token from the Sword Master.
What a blessed life!
Soon, the group piloted the divine ship, crossed the River of Swords, and finally landed on the ruins of the Red Palace.
Stepping onto this crimson land, a desolate and ancient atmosphere washes over you.
Every brick and tile here is an eerie scarlet red, as if it has been soaked in divine blood for millions of years, exuding a faint bloody smell, yet also radiating a terrifying pressure that is both subtle and pervasive.
Qian Duoduo hunched her shoulders and followed cautiously behind the group, clutching a handful of defensive talismans tightly in her hand, afraid of triggering any remaining killing formations.
"The killing intent here is so strong. Even my Heavenly Eyes of Destiny cannot see through a hundred feet ahead." Luo Yunyou said softly. Gray nebulae swirled in her eyes, but they were suppressed by the omnipresent sword intent laws around her, and she could only see a blurry blood-red mist.
Su Bai walked at the front, and with each step he took, faint black and white Dao patterns appeared and disappeared under his feet. It was his Wuji Dao automatically resisting the erosion of the laws here.
