Chapter 420: Dao of the Sword Origin, Immortal Emperor Sword Domain

After regulating his breathing for a while, Zhou Chen took the Chaos Sword Heart out of the System space.

The fist-sized crystal floated quietly in his palm, emitting a profound aura of Chaos.

"Let's absorb the Zi Xiao Sword Heart first."

Zhou Chen channeled his Immortal Spiritual Power to envelop the Zi Xiao Sword Heart.

The crystal began to melt, transforming into a stream of pure Sword Dao Origin that flowed along his Meridians and surged into his Dantian.

Boom—

The qingping sword phantom, an imprint of the Immortal Dao within his Sea of Consciousness, began to tremble.

That stream of Sword Dao Origin was directly devoured by the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent, turning into nourishment that merged into the sword body.

The light of the qingping sword grew even brighter.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, a flash of sword light crossing them.

"It really is useful."

He did not stop and took out the Chaos Sword Heart next.

This time, it was different.

As soon as the Chaos Sword Heart appeared, the qingping sword in his Sea of Consciousness began to vibrate violently.

It was as if it had encountered something it had longed for.

"Interesting."

Zhou Chen channeled his Immortal Spiritual Power to envelop the Chaos Sword Heart.

The speed at which the crystal melted was ten times faster than the Zi Xiao Sword Heart.

A dense Origin of Chaos surged madly into his Dantian.

Rumble—

A thunderous roar erupted from within Zhou Chen's body.

The Origin of Chaos was crazily devoured by the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent.

The phantom of the qingping sword began to surge in size.

The sword shadow, originally only three feet long, grew to a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye.

Mysterious patterns appeared on the sword's body.

That was the manifestation of the Law of Chaos.

Zhou Chen closed his eyes, guiding this power with all his might.

Time passed bit by bit.

Three days later.

Boom—

A terrifying Sword Intent erupted from Zhou Chen's body.

The space within a hundred-mile radius began to distort.

Countless spatial cracks appeared out of thin air, and from each crack, Sword Qi slashed out.

These Sword Qi intertwined to form a massive Domain.

The Immortal Emperor Sword Domain.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, a flicker of excitement in them.

"It's done."

He stood up and activated the Sword Domain.

Hum—

With him as the center, the space within a thousand zhang was instantly shrouded by the Sword Domain.

Inside the Domain, countless Sword Qi roamed.

Every strand of Sword Qi contained the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent.

Its power was more than ten times stronger than before.

Zhou Chen waved his hand casually.

A strand of Sword Qi slashed out.

Boom—

The distant mountain peak was instantly sliced in two.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror.

"The Sword Domain actually increases the power of the Sword Intent tenfold."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

"Even a Cultivator at the Third Layer of True Immortal Realm would likely have to kneel within this Sword Domain."

Putting away the Sword Domain, Zhou Chen continued to sense the changes within his body.

His cultivation had broken through to the Tenth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

He was only one step away from the True Immortal Realm.

"However, before breaking through to the True Immortal Realm, I still need to prepare a true immortal tribulation crossing pill."

Zhou Chen frowned.

The Materials for refining the true immortal tribulation crossing pill are extremely rare.

Even with the Zixia Sect's resources, although they could gather them, there were so many True Disciples in line that he knew it wouldn't be his turn.

"Forget it, let me go intercept Lin Tian's Opportunity first."

Zhou Chen opened Lin Tian's opportunity panel, and sure enough, it had refreshed again.

[Name: Lin Tian]

[Realm: Ninth Layer of Quasi-Immortal Realm]

[fate: Sword Dao Genius (Five-Colored), Child of Destiny (Five-Colored)]

[Destiny: True Disciple of the Zixia Sect, possesses exceptional Sword Dao talent, will break through to the True Immortal Realm within five years, become the Sect's Chief Sword Cultivator, and ultimately stop at the Seventh Layer of the Immortal King Realm.]

[Recent Opportunity 1: Seven days later, in the third layer of the Abyss Battlefield, kill a demonic Cultivator to obtain the Immortal Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique "Blood Fiend Demonic Technique".]

[Recent Opportunity 2: Fifteen days later, in the fifth layer of the Abyss Battlefield, discover the Immortal Rank High Grade Spirit Medicine, Blood Lotus.]

[Recent Opportunity 3: One month later, in a hidden Immortal Cave in the seventh layer of the Abyss Battlefield, obtain a Top-Grade Immortal Rank heaven mending pill. After consuming it, repair the Foundation, condense the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and build a Ninth-Rank Immortal Foundation.]

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up.

"A heaven mending pill?"

Just what I needed.

The heaven mending pill, as the name suggests, not only repairs a Cultivator's fundamental defects but also maximizes the chance of advancing to the True Immortal Realm.

More importantly, this is an ancient Medicinal Pill; the Pill Formula has been lost. It can help condense the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and forge a supreme Immortal Foundation.

Only when the Three Flowers are gathered can an Immortal Foundation be built.

A Third-Rank Immortal Foundation is enough to achieve the True Immortal Realm, and a Cultivator with a Ninth-Rank Immortal Foundation will achieve at least the Immortal King Realm in the future.

And the heaven mending pill can forcibly increase the rank of an Immortal Foundation, which can be called Heaven-Defying.

The degree of improvement also depends on personal potential.

If an ordinary Cultivator could obtain a heaven mending pill, it would be considered a great fortune.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate.

He put away the Formation, his figure flashed, and he flew towards the Zixia Sect.

The Abyss Battlefield is located at the edge of the Spirit Realm.

It is the intersection between the Abyss Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm.

Demonic Cultivators appear there all year round.

The major Sects of the Spirit Realm have joined forces to set up outposts in the Abyss Battlefield.

On one hand, it is to resist the invasion of demonic Cultivators.

On the other hand, there are abundant resources in the Abyss Battlefield.

Killing demonic Cultivators can earn merit points.

Merit points can be exchanged for various treasures at the outposts.

Many Cultivators go to the Abyss Battlefield to gain experience.

Zhou Chen returned to the Zixia Sect and went straight to the Mission Hall.

This time, the Mission Hall Elder did not waste any words; he directly took out a token and handed it to Zhou Chen.

"This is the pass token for the Abyss Battlefield."

"Take it, and you can travel to the outpost via the teleportation array."

"Remember, the Abyss Battlefield is divided into nine layers."

"The deeper the layer, the stronger the demonic Cultivators."

"With your cultivation at the Fourth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm…"

He paused: "It is best not to go beyond the third layer."

Zhou Chen took the token and nodded in thanks.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

He turned and left the Mission Hall.

The managing Elder looked at his back and shook his head.

"Young people, they are always unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth."

Zhou Chen stood in front of the teleportation array and activated the token.

Hum—

The teleportation array lit up, and a pillar of light enveloped him.

The next second, he had appeared in another place.

This was a huge city.

The city walls were ten thousand zhang high and were made entirely of Abyss Black Iron.

The city walls were covered with defensive Formations.

At the city gate, there were dozens of Cultivators ranging from the First to the Fifth Layer of the True Immortal Realm.

They were the guards stationed here.

Zhou Chen walked into the city.

Inside the city, people were coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

Disciples of various major Sects were all here.

Zhou Chen found the Merit Hall and checked the exchange list.

The list was densely packed with various treasures.

Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, Spirit Medicines, Magic Treasures…

Everything was available.

Zhou Chen scanned it and did not find the Materials for the true immortal tribulation crossing pill.

"It seems I have to go to a deeper layer."

He turned and left the Merit Hall, heading towards the entrance of the Abyss Battlefield.

The entrance to the Abyss Battlefield was a huge crack.

The crack was a thousand zhang high and emitted dense Devilish Qi.

Zhou Chen walked into the crack.

His vision went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared on a desolate land.

The sky was blood-red.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

In the distance, sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time.

"This is the first layer of the Abyss Battlefield."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

He activated his Divine Sense and scanned the surroundings.

He soon discovered the aura of several demonic Cultivators.

They were all around the Fifth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

Zhou Chen ignored them.

He flew directly towards the entrance of the third layer.

According to the opportunity panel, Lin Tian's first Opportunity was in the third layer.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Chen arrived at the entrance of the third layer.

This was an even larger crack.

A terrifying Devilish Qi radiated from the crack.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and walked straight in.
