Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Shen Lin had only intended to find a safe path, never thinking of completely breaking the formation.

After all, it was a formation set up by a formation master; wanting to forcibly break it would be impossible without the cultivation of a Saint Realm expert.

Everything went smoothly; Shen Lin, relying on the mysteries of the Intercepting Heaven Scripture, dodged all attacks with nimble movements.

Only at the last moment did he encounter the most dangerous killing move within the formation.

Fortunately, the stimulation of the crisis allowed Shen Lin's understanding of the Intercepting Heaven Dao Principles to reach a new level.

The realm that originally required observing thousands of people's Intercepting Heaven Dao Principles, or consuming the lifespan of many demons, was achieved in that instant.

At this moment, Shen Lin could sense the changes in the Intercepting Heaven Dao Principles in the air more clearly than before.

Regarding the same crisis, if he previously had only about ten ways to overcome it,

Now, he had at least ten times more.

Not only that, but after deepening his understanding of the Intercepting Heaven Dao Principles, he could now merge them with his Dharma Form at any time, breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm.

Just as Shen Lin was thinking of using the system to deduce and break through directly, the corner of his eye caught sight of a stone tablet covered in vines in the middle of the path ahead.

He temporarily abandoned the idea of deduction and walked over slowly.

Sensing that there were no changes in the Intercepting Heaven Dao Principles around him, and confirming that the stone tablet posed no danger, he reached out and removed all the vines from it.

On the stone tablet were rows of Dao Principle characters.

[Liangyi Sacred Ground, Guan Xuzi mourns his old friend, Tyrant Blade.]

The top line of words revealed two individuals.

Liangyi Sacred Ground, Shen Lin knew about it; it was recorded in the Tai Xuan Heavenly Stele as one of the Immortal Clan's sacred grounds, primarily researching techniques such as formations, talismans, alchemy, and medicine refining.

As for this Guan Xuzi and Tyrant Blade, Shen Lin, having just arrived in the Chaos Sea, was not very clear about them.

At this time, Liao Cheng and the others had already cautiously walked through the previous formation range and approached.

Hearing the movement behind him, Shen Lin asked, "Do you recognize these two people?"

Liao Cheng, walking in the front, heard this and looked at the stone tablet, then his pupils suddenly dilated, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"Tyrant Blade???"

"What? This is his place of death???"

"Wow!"

The reactions of several people varied, all expressing extreme shock.

Only Huai Ling touched his head and exclaimed in cooperation.

Shen Lin asked curiously, "Is he very famous?"

Liao Cheng's expression was complicated, and he nodded, saying, "Very famous!"

"On the Xuanming Heaven's Saint Realm Pride Rankings, for nearly a million years, the first place was occupied by him."

"Of humble origin, a rogue cultivator who was able to overwhelm countless geniuses from great clans and sacred grounds, he was known as the number one person below the Venerable Realm."

"There were even rumors that he, with the cultivation of the Saint Realm, killed a Venerable Realm expert in a higher-level battle!"

"Of course, this rumor had never been confirmed before, perhaps it was just someone exaggerating. After all, the Venerable Realm and other realms are fundamentally incomparable to second-step cultivators; they are completely different lives."

After saying this, Liao Cheng suddenly noticed that Li Daoyuan beside him was silent, his eyes fixed on that line of words.

Before he could ask, Li Daoyuan took a deep breath and said, "You may be more surprised by the identity of this Tyrant Blade. But do you know who that Guan Xuzi in front is?"

Liao Cheng shook his head blankly.

Li Daoyuan quietly clenched his fist in his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "The current Saint Lord of the Immortal Clan's Liangyi Sacred Ground, a Dao Integration Realm peak formation master..."

"Also the current head of our Li family!"

Liao Cheng's mouth widened slightly, so surprised that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

A Dao Integration Realm peak formation master...

Already a peak existence in the Chaos Sea, not to mention Saint Realm experts, even if he encountered a Venerable Realm existence, he could fight.

Before, he said that the gap between the Venerable Realm and the Saint Realm was very large, so large that the two seemed like different levels of life.

But this did not include formation masters.

Due to the difficulty of cultivating the path of formations, the cultivation of formation masters was extremely difficult to improve.

Being able to reach the Dao Integration Realm was almost the limit.

Condensing a Dao Principle body and breaking through to the Saint Realm was at least ten million times more difficult for them than for ordinary cultivators.

Or rather, it was impossible.

Those who could become formation masters had to comprehend no fewer than ten types of Dao powers.

And wanting to merge more than ten types of Dao powers with the Dharma Form to break through to the Dao Integration Realm was already difficult.

Not to mention fusing them with the soul and body.

Therefore, the Dao Integration Realm was basically the limit for formation masters.

And at this step, the power of heaven and earth that formation masters could mobilize was extremely terrifying.

Saint Realm warriors with a higher cultivation level had no power to fight back in their hands.

If a Venerable Realm expert was ambushed by a well-prepared Dao Integration Realm formation master, he would have to pay a considerable price to survive.

This was also the reason why this Guan Xuzi could concurrently serve as the Saint Lord of a sacred ground with the cultivation of the Dao Integration Realm peak.

It should be known that the Saint Lords of the sacred grounds have always been held by existences in the Venerable Realm.

And the title of Li family head seemed the most inconspicuous.

But the Immortal Clan's Li family was a famous family known throughout the Chaos Sea, and had produced several Venerable Realm cultivators.

After hearing this, Shen Lin couldn't help but let out a long breath.

He didn't expect that the formation he had just broken was set up by a Dao Integration Realm formation master.

The other party must have shown some mercy, otherwise, their group would have been directly erased by the formation as soon as they stepped onto this island, disappearing without a trace.

Shaking his head and sighing, Shen Lin continued to look at the inscription.

[My brother, Tyrant Blade, came from the Earth Armor Clan of the Eight Desolations. He trained in martial arts in his youth and entered the cultivation world with body refining methods. Afterwards, in repeated battles, he not only honed the long saber in his hand but also honed the domineering intent in his heart.]

[He beheaded Geng Qi, a genius of the White Tiger Clan, at Wanshou Heaven, and cut off a thousand-zhang man-eating flower at Xianlin...]

A series of achievements were densely written for several lines.

It could be seen that this Guan Xuzi extremely admired his brother Tyrant Blade. The text praising how awesome he was took up almost half the inscription.

And at the end of these achievements, a line attracted everyone's attention.

[In a fierce battle against the Venerable Guijiu of the Black Jackal Clan at Ancient Tomb Heaven, his saber energy opened the sky and killed him!]

For a time, everyone gasped.

The rumor... was actually true!

This Tyrant Blade, known as the number one person below the Venerable Realm, actually killed a Venerable Realm expert.

Continuing to read, after that series of amazing achievements, Guan Xuzi changed the subject.

[Unfortunately, in that battle at Ancient Tomb Heaven, he damaged his foundation, and there was no possibility of further progress in his cultivation. In the end, he was harmed by his own disciple.]

[Fighting hard all his life, he ultimately died in the schemes of villains.]

[How sad and lamentable!]

[After I learned of the situation, I rushed over as quickly as possible, but it was one step too late.]

[Fortunately, before my brother died, he left behind his inheritance, and the intent of the Tyrant Blade will not be cut off!]

[It's just that after careful study, I found that the way he left his inheritance was somewhat inappropriate.]

[Therefore, I collected all the long sabers he used throughout his life and set up this formation.]

[Those who come later and are able to see this stone tablet must have passed through the Saber Formation.]

[That Saber Formation can only be passed through by those with boundless fighting spirit and excellent saber skills below the Saint Realm.]

[If those who see this inscription are existences in the Saint Realm...]

The words left by Guan Xuzi suddenly changed, and a wave of shocking killing intent came, making people shudder.

[Leave quickly, you who have condensed the Dao Principle body, this saber inheritance is useless to you!]

[The resources inside are also prepared for my brother's successor; do not be greedy.]

[If you do not listen to my advice, I will definitely exhaust my life to grind you to ashes!]

Seeing this, Shen Lin understood why this Guan Xuzi left his identity in the first line.

In case an existence in the Saint Realm discovered this place and forcibly broke in, after seeing the name Guan Xuzi, they would have to weigh the pros and cons. Was it worth it to provoke a Dao Integration Realm peak formation master to hunt them down for the sake of a cave abode of an existence of the same level?

At this time, Liao Cheng, seeing this, suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around and ran away.

"Those sabers!!!"

According to the stone tablet, those long sabers that made up the previous formation were all the sabers that Tyrant Blade used in his past.

And how could the long sabers used by an existence who could kill a Venerable Realm expert be ordinary goods?

Shen Lin glanced at Liao Cheng's back, unmoved.

While breaking the formation before, he had already studied those long sabers.

Perhaps many years ago, these long sabers might have been decent weapons.

Even some of them were Dao artifact-level long sabers.

But thinking carefully, one could understand that the sabers that Tyrant Blade replaced must have been damaged to a certain extent before they were replaced.

Those old long sabers, without the blessing of the formation, were just a pile of scrap metal.

Sure enough, Liao Cheng picked up several long sabers in a row, all of which were ordinary iron that had lost their spirituality.

He walked back somewhat awkwardly and said, "It seems I was overthinking things."

Li Daoyuan sighed and said, "Guan Xuzi's formations have always utilized all forces to increase the power of the formation. Even if these long sabers were originally intact, after becoming part of the formation, they must have been destroyed."

"You seem..."

Liao Cheng looked at Li Daoyuan with a strange expression and said, "Are you very familiar with this Guan Xuzi?"

Li Daoyuan's body trembled, and he glanced to the side, saying casually, "After all, he is the current head of my Li family..."

As he spoke, he shook his head and pointed behind the stone tablet, saying, "According to Guan Xuzi, this formation was meant for the Overlord Blade to choose a formation. What we encounter next will probably be the methods left behind by that Overlord Blade."

Liao Cheng said without the slightest hesitation, "Of course, we continue forward. We've already passed the first trial, there's no reason to give up now."

Shen Lin didn't speak, only nodded, and walked past the stone tablet.

The thick trees overhead made the path leading to the valley somewhat dim.

The group walked for a while, and as they saw the path ahead brighten, they couldn't help but become more vigilant, carefully continuing forward.

At the end of the path, a wide, circular clearing appeared.

In the very center stood a stone statue.

It was a burly figure, humanoid, covered in layers of armor.

It sat there cross-legged, leaning on a large, wide blade.

As Liao Cheng and the others entered the clearing, the stone statue trembled slightly.

Dust rose from it, and it slowly stood up.
