Chapter 2256: Chapter 2276: Is That Terrifying Guy Coming Out?_1

Three Months—Lin Chen spent this time feeling the essence of the Sword Talisman from imitating it, learning how to create it, and understanding the rules it framed.

Lin Chen benefited greatly.

The lines of this Sword Talisman did not seem complicated, but the true core was not the tracing of these lines, but rather the rushing spiritual power within and the rules of its operation.

The rotation of mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars, all follow certain rules, and so does this Sword Talisman.

After spending a lot of time, Lin Chen finally came to understand the operating rules of this Sword Talisman, but he felt that there were more things within it worth learning.

It was like when a master’s casual work falls into the hands of a novice—there are many aspects to learn from, and one is not limited to this piece alone. One can extend to learn much more from the content within this work.

Lin Chen realized that to fully comprehend this Sword Talisman might take a very long time, but under the current circumstances, it obviously wasn’t suitable for him to continue his quiet contemplation.

Not to mention anything else, to comprehend the Sword Talisman, the talisman must be in "working" condition, which requires Chi Zai to struggle and resist continuously, thereby triggering the talisman’s suppression. This would bring immense pain to Chi Zai.

Under normal conditions, as long as Chi Zai doesn’t resist, then the Sword Talisman won’t activate, and Chi Zai would not suffer from the violent Sword Intent attacking his body. Although he is nailed here, he wouldn’t be in too much pain. However, once he resists, the endless Sword Intent would be like countless sharp swords running rampant within his body—a feeling of being pierced by ten thousand swords that is simply too exhilarating.

Half a year!

To let Lin Chen decipher the Sword Talisman, Chi Zai had been struggling and enduring the suppression of the talisman continuously for a whole half a year. Now that Lin Chen had found the key to breaking the deadlock, he naturally wouldn’t let him continue to suffer.

"I have found a way to break the Sword Talisman; are you ready?"

Chi Zai asked with excitement and doubt, "Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Whether I’m lying to you or not, why don’t we give it a try and find out?"

Chi Zai, unable to wait, said, "Then hurry up and try. Why are you asking me?"

Lin Chen explained, "During the process of destroying the Sword Talisman, the talisman will definitely resist. As the talisman operates, the pain you endure will naturally increase, perhaps even more severe than these past few months. You will need to endure it..."

Chi Zai took a deep breath, "Even more pain? How can I endure that?"

Lin Chen helplessly said, "Perhaps that divine spirit, if personally present, could easily break the Sword Talisman and set you free. But don’t forget, I am merely a Fairy, not even a Daluo, while this Sword Talisman comes from a powerhouse intending to suppress a formidable being like you..."

Chi Zai was at a loss for words. Although he didn’t want to endure the pain, he had no other choice.

After waiting for such a long period, he finally met the destined one who could set him free. How could the pain matter now?

Could the pain of the body compare with the loneliness and pain of the spirit over these lengthy years?

"Come then."

"Alright, endure it!"

Lin Chen floated in front of the Sword Talisman, extended his single arm forward, and swung it, releasing a piercing Sword Qi that shot straight towards the center of the Sword Talisman.

Upon being attacked, the aura of the Sword Talisman suddenly surged, its bright radiance growing several times stronger all at once, as did the boundless Sword Intent and the ferocious Sword Qi that was capable of destroying everything.

However, this Sword Intent and Sword Qi, massive as the waves raised by a tsunami, did not attack Lin Chen, because he was standing in a blind spot where the Sword Qi released could not reach.

This position was not fixed; it constantly changed with the internal operation of the Sword Talisman. It was because Lin Chen had figured out this pattern that he could stand in the right spot at the right time.

It was like a safe haven within a raging ocean, standing upon which, no matter how fierce the surrounding storms were, or how high the waves, one’s safety on the island would not be compromised.

The fierce Sword Qi plunged into the Sword Talisman and then struck a hidden node within it.

The Sword Talisman suddenly began to tremble, its Sword Qi becoming even more violent, yet Lin Chen did not show the slightest hint of nervousness as he leisurely strolled through the rivers of Sword Qi, continuously launching wave after wave of Sword Qi into the Sword Talisman.

Each Sword Qi struck a critical node, and after each attack, the trembling amplitude of the entire Sword Talisman increased a notch.

Meanwhile, the Chi Zai, suppressed by the Giant Sword, let out a miserable howl, a cry filled with pain. Its terrifying aura swept frantically around, causing the Magical Beasts in the waters to flee in panic, some even broke the surface to fly into the sky.

They were terrified!

Born because of the Chi Zai and extremely sensitive to its aura, the beasts acted as if the end of the world had come when the Chi Zai was suffering enormous pain and fell into a frenzied state.

Above the water’s surface at this moment floated numerous flying boats, not particularly large, they were portable models. On these flying boats were many Cultivators from Qingyuan City, Lingmiao Mountain, and Baique Sect, with Qi Wuchang, Zhong Shuyu, and Su Yanran among them.

Qi Wuchang and the others had dived in numerous times, thwarted by the resistance of Magical Beasts, unable to reach the very bottom; yet, Chi Zai had suffered from great pain for the past few months, occasionally causing some major commotion.

Despite the distance, Qi Wuchang and the others were after all Daluo Ultimate Immortals, they had already sensed that in the depths, there likely resided a powerful Magical Beast related to that Giant Sword.

This Magical Beast was still alive!

What adventure could be more important than exploring this place?

Without mentioning anything else, just the Giant Sword itself was enough to make people drool.

In half a year, many powerhouses from the Three Sects had gathered to devise ways to explore the water area, but the Magical Beasts beneath the waters were far too numerous, and the dense Demonic Qi underwater put pressure on everyone’s Strength. The power dynamics shifted, and they were unable to break through the defenses of the beasts beneath the waves.

As numerous powerhouses were discussing atop a flying boat, they suddenly felt a terrifying tremor coming from beneath the water, and this time, the reaction was even more intense than any other they had felt before!

Before the people could understand what had happened, they saw countless Magical Beasts drilling out from the depths, rapidly taking to the sky, fleeing into the distance as if chased by Evil Ghosts.

This scene shocked everyone, as many of the fleeing beasts had fought against them, and they knew their terrifying Combat Power. Yet now, as formidable as they were, they fled desperately, soullessly, even ignoring the many flying boats suspended midair.

The gazes of the people returned to the tumultuous Water Surface, and the same thought emerged in their hearts simultaneously.

Could it be that the terrifying creature below was about to emerge!
