Chapter 613: Chapter 580: The Might of Sword Tower_1

Sword Tower Pu Zhaotian, solo intrusion into the Dragon Cave.

The Sword Tower, worshiped by countless Spirit Swords and seen as a land of faith by sword cultivators worldwide, conceals numerous Divine Swords, dozens of sacred swords with spirituality, and countless mid-to-high level Spirit Swords within.

This nine-story tower itself is a god-shocking Divine Artifact, controllable only by the master of the Sword Tower.

On his journey to the Saint Spirit Continent, since Pu Zhaotian had activated the Sword Tower, he was prepared for a do-or-die struggle with the Dragon Cave.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless sword lights, released from the continuously growing Sword Tower, converged into a heavenly sea of swords, enveloping the entire mountain range where the Dragon Cave was located.

Some sword lights bore the marks of years gone by, others encompassed the essence of wind and frost, and some exhibited the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Some transformed into Gold Mountain, Ice River, thunderballs, forests, while others represented a pursuit or were imbued with an unspeakably noble imperial or domineering aura.

From the moment swords appeared in the Purgatory World, since sword cultivators began to emerge, since sword techniques were inspired and formed.

All the mysteries of the Sword Dao related to the sword have left their marks and imprints in this Sword Tower!

It is both a treasure trove of Sword Dao knowledge and a symbol of all swords.

Generation after generation of sword gods of the Human Race, their ultimate Sword Dao, their grand ambitions of Divine Enthronement with the sword, all manifested at this moment in the Dragon Cave.

The sword lights were like frost and dusk, clouds and rain, heavens and earth, sun, moon, and stars, mountains and rivers, and the nation itself.

A weird and wonderful sword world unfolded over the mountain range where the Dragon Cave lay, a world so powerful and magnificent it was awe-inspiring.

"Saint Spirit Continent, Dragon Cave."

"Heh, a mere Old Dragon of the Demon Race dares to challenge the majesty of our Sword Tower."

"Throughout history, how many god spirits, peak beings of Alien Tribes, and brutal Demon Gods have been slain by those who wield the sword? At any time, in any era, our Sword Tower should not be subjected to oppression."

"Pu Pangzi, you have not yet attained Divine Enthronement, yet you dare to enter the Dragon Cave wielding the Sword Tower; we were not wrong about you!"

"Young Pu, all the sentient swords in the Sword Tower are your strong support!"

"..."

Sword after sword flew out of the Sword Tower.

Sword Spirits, in the form of Spiritual Bodies, either stood on the hilts or sat on the blades.

There were lively Sword Spirits, roaring through this world with their swords, and composed ones, casting cold eyes towards the True Dragon Palace, revealing their intent to kill.

There were males and females, old and young.

Their former masters had left remarkable reputations in the history of Purgatory, having accompanied their masters in slaying demons and eliminating evil, facing opponents that once stood at the pinnacle of Purgatory.

They had their own pride.

Pu Zhaotian gave a grin, wielding a sword in the void, with the colossal inverted Sword Tower floating behind him, allowing countless sword lights to permeate the Ten Thousand Miles Dragon Cave.

Younger dragons hidden deeper and dragons farther away were all discovered by these secretive sword lights and were sealed by the swords.

Nearly a hundred dragons, varying in bloodline levels, were constrained by the Sword Tower’s sword light; he was sure the Old Dragon would release Pang Lin.

He understood the Old Dragon.

Similarly, the Old Dragon also knew how insane he was, how utterly unreasonable.

"Ao!"

A dragon’s roar echoed from the True Dragon Palace, and the Old Thunder Dragon in human form indeed appeared with a grim face.

He stood at the summit of the True Dragon Palace and coldly said, "The Sword Tower and the Pure Land have always been close; I am aware of this."

"But I did not expect that for the sake of a girl from the Pure Land, you, Pu Zhaotian, would dare to threaten me with the Sword Tower."

"After all, you have not yet ascended to become a True God."

Doubt rose in Long Xiao’s heart.

The little girl from the "Thunder Cave Heavens" had never been taken seriously by Him.

What He truly cared about was the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree," and that fragment of the bone that represented the inheritance of the Heaven Phoenix.

Geniuses, He had seen too many in His long life.

Those more outstanding than the little girl, with natural affinity to thunder and talents in cultivation, He had encountered them by the dozens if not a hundred, but what was the outcome?

Did they not still perish in the rolling river of history?

He stood in this world, and as long as He did not wish to leave, who could shake His position?

Could the girl, favored by the Heaven Phoenix, nurtured wholeheartedly by Su Wenrou of the Pure Land, actually kick Him from the end of this Divine Tao?

Fanciful dreams!

He had never taken the little girl seriously; with His status and position, why would He fear challenges from newcomers?

But before He left the skies above Panshi Fragment Land, it was the Old Black Turtle who called out His true name, Long Xiao, daring to reveal his own secret of being alive, just to demand that girl from Him.

Now, Pu Zhaotian brought the Sword Tower to his door with murderous intent, using His dragon descendants to threaten Him.

He had to reevaluate the origins of this little girl. The relationship between the Sword Tower and the Pure Land alone wouldn’t lead Pu Zhaotian to this extent.

"Release her, or I will destroy your Dragon Cave heritage."

Pu Zhaotian’s attitude was uncompromising.

He then turned his gaze to those Demon Kings who stepped out of the True Dragon Palace, eyeing him with fury, and said, "All the Demon Kings who dare interfere, if there is any commotion today, it will mean a fight to the death with our Sword Tower."

"Remember, today’s Sword Tower has a New Sword God in the world!"

"Even if you have forgotten, the records left by your ancestors and the marks within your bloodlines will tell you about the Sword God born from the Sword Tower and the kind of power he possesses."

The Golden Elephant, Ghost Snake, Kylin, Vermilion Bird, and other ninth-level Demon Kings fell silent in front of the True Dragon Palace.

"Who exactly is the young girl from the Thunder Cave Heavens?" the Rock Bear suddenly asked.

"Her name is Pang Lin, her brother is my third disciple, and he is also the current Sword God," said Pu Zhaotian, who did not come across as arrogant when looking at the Old Rock Bear, seriously explaining, "This time, I am not here for Pure Land, I could also give up Thunder Cave Heavens, but I must take that girl back to the Sword Tower."

During the time in Hongdu City, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Pang Jian, knowing that the Old Rock Bear had also helped him to ascend to Demon God status.

That’s why he took the time to clarify Pang Lin’s identity.

"Current Sword God, Pang Jian..."

The Rock Bear sucked in a breath softly.

After a moment of consideration, he said, "Elder Long, the young dragons in the Dragon Cave have precious lives. They are the future of the Dragon Cave and of our Demon Race. For their sake, for the sake of our Demon Race, would you..."

"Fine!"

Long Xiao let out a light snort.

He too had not expected Pu Zhaotian to arrive unannounced, bringing the Sword Tower with him, and in an instant used the sword light to magically imprison many young dragons.

After Rock Bear’s persuasion, it was a perfect time to back down gracefully. He raised his hand toward a valley behind the True Dragon Palace and reached out.

"Whoosh!"

A delicate figure enveloped in thunderous lightning was snatched out of "Thunder Cave Heavens" by He, and casually thrown toward Pu Zhaotian.

Pang Lin, within the thunderous lightning, suddenly returned to the real world, and the first thing she saw was the bulky figure of Pu Zhaotian and the towering inverted Sword Tower.

She had seen portraits of Pu Zhaotian and also knew about the unique Sword Tower in the world.

Her heart, tense and nervous, relaxed a lot because of the Sword Tower and the blue-robed fat man.

"Girl, your brother is my disciple, the one I am most proud of!"

Pu Pangzi grinned broadly, and when she was close enough, a sword in his hand shattered the slender thunderous lightning, and with a pull in the void with his left hand, he pulled her into the lowest layer of the Sword Tower.

In the lowest layer of the Sword Tower, guarded by three Divine Swords, it would not be easy for the Thunder Dragon to trouble her again.

Pu Zhaotian, feeling a bit more at ease, slowly retracted the smile on his face and indifferently said, "Next, let’s talk about the death of Mu Aichuan."

Long Xiao frowned, "Aren’t you done yet?"

"Long Xiao, I just have one question. If I had succeeded in my attempt to ascend to True God last time, would you dare to kill my Sword Tower Elder in Panshi Fragment Land?" Pu Zhaotian said coldly.

"What’s the point of talking about this?" Long Xiao said impatiently.

But because many dragons from the Dragon Cave were still imprisoned by the sword light, He had to patiently explain, "In Panshi Fragment Land, the three Blessed Land Cave Heavens were born because of the Mysterious Turtle. I am the leader of the Demon Race. I do not see any issue with seizing one Thunder Cave Heavens in Panshi Fragment Land."

"Mu Aichuan was insolent towards me, and I casually disciplined him. He was too weak and couldn’t withstand it and died, so he should blame me?"

Pu Zhaotian began to laugh, saying, "So that’s how it is."

A red, blood-like sword light suddenly split the head of a newly promoted ninth-level Ice Dragon in the northern mountains of the True Dragon Palace.

"I’m just casually disciplining as well. He was too weak, could not withstand it."

"A life for a life, let’s call it even."

Pu Zhaotian turned around and stepped onto the Sword Tower, flying toward the outer realms of the Holy Spirit Continent.

As the Sword Tower moved, the sword lights scattered across this world, filling the secluded valleys and the depths of the Dragon Cave, began to return one by one.

Many Sword Spirits and Spirit Swords, seeing that matters had concluded, also one by one returned to the Sword Tower.

"Dragon Bathing!"

The dragons no longer restrained by the sword light roared in the spreading mountain range, their cries resonating between heaven and earth.

A group of ninth-level Demon Kings, including the Old Rock Bear, quietly looked toward Long Xiao, who had transformed into a human form.

Above the True Dragon Palace, with both hands raised, Long Xiao made a ’calm down’ gesture, signaling all Demon Kings and sons of the Dragon Race to remain calm.

He calmly watched as the Sword Tower shrank and moved away from the Dragon Cave.

He also watched as the swords and sword lights vanished into the Sword Tower one after another.

He maintained calm and restraint.

He knew some young dragons were still unable to break free from the sword’s magical imprisonment and were still at risk of death.

The Sword Tower walked farther and farther away, about to leave the Holy Spirit Continent.

Only after the last sword light, flying from the east of Dragon Cave, chased after the distant Sword Tower, did Long Xiao turn to the Rock Bear and say, "From now on, please watch over the Ten Thousand Miles Dragon Cave and make sure that such incidents no longer happen."

With Rock Bear’s ascension to Demon God using the power of the earth, as long as his power spread out, the entire Ten Thousand Miles Dragon Cave could be enveloped.

With preparations made in advance, no sword light would be able to penetrate the earth easily.

"Can you promise me?" Long Xiao asked earnestly.

The Rock Bear thought for a moment, and since the young girl named Pang Lin was already safe and sound, he said, "I can."

"Then, protect my dragon descendants well."

As he spoke, Long Xiao’s body crackled, and suddenly he revealed the terrifying form of a True Dragon Body.

The old dragon, with a serpentine dragon body, riding the Thunderous Lightning, left the Holy Spirit Continent in the blink of an eye with the most remarkable speed of thunderous light in Purgatory World.

"Pu Zhaotian!"
