Chapter 3276: The Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor's Rules, The Bottom of the Abyss, Ye Guchen Who Reforges Himself

Jun Xiaoyao merely relied on a certain intuition to enter the Nine Tribulations Abyss.

Perhaps he felt that, given Ye Guchen's karmic opportunities, he should not have perished just like that.

Although he knew the hope might not be too great.

But Jun Xiaoyao still tunneled into the Nine Tribulations Abyss.

Upon entering.

Sky-covering, earth-enveloping sword qi surged forth like a storm.

This Nine Tribulations Abyss is extremely perilous even for sword cultivators, let alone other cultivators.

That is why the Nine Tribulations Abyss became an ancient forbidden land, difficult for anyone to set foot in.

And Jun Xiaoyao tunneled straight into the depths of the Nine Tribulations Abyss just like that.

That vast sword qi surged over, hacking onto Jun Xiaoyao's body, even erupting with clanging sounds of metal striking metal.

Jun Xiaoyao had only recently crossed the Emperor Tribulation, and his physical body had undergone further tempering and transformation, becoming even more monstrous.

So this level of situation was still insufficient to pose any threat to him.

Jun Xiaoyao continued deeper.

And before long.

Jun Xiaoyao sensed lingering fluctuations of battle, as well as numerous sword qi aftershocks, fused with this place's environment.

"It is Brother Ye's sword technique divine ability, Myriad Gods Tribulation."

Comprehending the fluctuations within, Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

He had sparred with Ye Guchen many times.

So he naturally had some understanding of his divine abilities and moves.

Myriad Gods Tribulation is a sword dao divine ability Ye Guchen created himself; when he first unleashed it, even Jun Xiaoyao was quite amazed.

And such a divine ability was clearly also Ye Guchen's trump card.

Under normal circumstances, he would not unleash it.

From this it can be seen how tragic that previous encirclement battle was.

This place faintly retains some aura of fresh blood, and stark white bone fragments.

"Could he really have perished..."

Even with Jun Xiaoyao's keen spiritual sense, he could not detect the slightest fluctuation.

Ye Guchen seemed to have truly perished, dissipated between heaven and earth.

But then again, Su Jianshi had already investigated and inquired before.

Given the degree to which she cared for Ye Guchen.

If Ye Guchen still had a chance of life and survival, she obviously would not let any opportunity slip by.

"Sigh..."

Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

He did not have many friends, or rather, he had no interest in making friends.

Ye Guchen was one of the very few who could enter his eyes, whom he felt was worth befriending deeply.

Who would have thought that yet...

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze shifted.

He suddenly looked toward the even deeper reaches of the Nine Tribulations Abyss again.

The battle fluctuations occurred here.

Clearly, even with that Sword Clan Sword Son Xu Changtian's capabilities, he likely would find it very difficult to penetrate deeper into the Nine Tribulations Abyss's interior.

Jun Xiaoyao's thoughts turned, and he continued deeper down.

And the deeper into the Nine Tribulations Abyss.

That gushing sword qi became even more terrifying.

Reaching here, not to mention ordinary Great Emperors, even Emperor-level titans, even peak-level powerhouses, would be affected.

"Just how strong was that Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor of the past?"

Sword qi remaining for countless ages yet still possessing such power — truly extraordinary.

This is more like a certain sword dao rule was left behind; outsiders fundamentally cannot penetrate deep.

Enter deep and die.

But Jun Xiaoyao is no ordinary person.

Although he is not like Ye Guchen, a sword cultivator who exclusively cultivates the sword dao.

With Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous talent, any single dao, he can easily comprehend to the pinnacle.

And he also uses the sword.

Jun Xiaoyao summoned the Daluo Sword Embryo.

After breaking through to Emperor-level titan, Jun Xiaoyao could undoubtedly bring forth the Daluo Sword Embryo's power even more.

And the Daluo Sword Embryo's power has been constantly rising.

Jun Xiaoyao activated the Daluo Sword Embryo; sword qi gushed, light rain scattered down.

Grand sword qi collided and erupted with this place's terrifying sword rules.

Jun Xiaoyao continued deeper into the Nine Tribulations Abyss.

Finally, he nearly approached the bottom region of the Nine Tribulations Abyss.

Arriving here, all kinds of sword qi storms, Lei Ting, were spreading, their might rumbling.

Space had long since become shattered and dilapidated.

And at the bottom of this ruined Nine Tribulations Abyss.

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly sensed a certain aura fluctuation.

His eyes flashed, he took a step, and skimmed through the void.

In the depths, the region of chaotic space.

Jun Xiaoyao saw that numerous Sword Rules were entangled together.

Among them, conspicuously, there was a deep, pitch-black star.

"Heavenly Calamity Lone Star."

Jun Xiaoyao looked at that star, pitch-black like ink.

Clearly, that was the Destiny Star Ye Guchen carried, the Heavenly Calamity Lone Star!

But what caught Jun Xiaoyao's attention was not this.

Rather, within it, he saw a sword!

A wooden sword.

It was precisely Ye Guchen's worn sword, Qiubai!

Just now, when Jun Xiaoyao delved deep into the abyss, he saw that battlefield where Ye Guchen fought and killed.

His physical body should have been completely slain and annihilated.

However now, Jun Xiaoyao instead sensed a wisp of Ye Guchen's soul fluctuation on the Qiubai Sword!

Although this fluctuation was extremely weak, like a guttering candle in the wind.

Yet it was undeniable.

"This... could it be..."

Jun Xiaoyao had a conjecture.

It should be that when Ye Guchen was besieged and killed, the Heavenly Calamity Lone Star left his body, attaching onto a strand of his innate Primordial Spirit.

That Sword Clan's Xu Changtian and the others, after slaying Ye Guchen's Primordial Spirit, thought it was already over.

Little did they know, there still remained a strand of Primordial Spirit remnant soul, attached onto the Heavenly Calamity Lone Star.

"Only, Brother Ye's soul actually attached onto the sword..."

Jun Xiaoyao also found it somewhat unexpected.

But at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao discovered.

The entire bottom of the Nine Tribulations Abyss, all Sword Rules, were surrounding the Qiubai Sword.

Even in the void, there were wisps of Qi and blood being drawn over, fusing into the Qiubai Sword.

"This blood..."

Jun Xiaoyao's brow arched.

He perceived an extremely powerful Qi and blood as well as Sword Dao Rules.

"Could it be the blood belonging to that Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor?"

Jun Xiaoyao felt.

Perhaps it was that Ye Guchen's persistent Sword Heart resonated in some way with this remnant site left behind by the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor.

And Ye Guchen obtained the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor's acknowledgement.

Therefore, the Sword Dao Rules he left behind also surrounded Ye Guchen and the Qiubai Sword.

"This tribulation, for Brother Ye, is a death tribulation, the end of his physical body."

"But this, is not necessarily not a kind of new beginning."

"For Brother Ye, this might be a blessing in disguise."

Jun Xiaoyao also understood.

Hope is usually born after despair.

Judging by Ye Guchen's fate trajectory, he originally should not have perished now.

This is a tribulation, and also a karmic tie.

Xu Changtian and the others' siege and killing, instead accomplished Ye Guchen, letting him produce some resonance with the Nine Tribulations Sword Emperor.

"Brother Ye has not completely perished, could it be he wants to take the sword as root, and reshape his body?" Jun Xiaoyao conjectured.

In the past, there were also those who, in pursuit of the ultimate Sword Dao, even refined their own bodies into sword embryos.

But that is a path few can succeed on.

And Ye Guchen's this death tribulation, happened to give him this opportunity.

And at this moment, on that Qiubai Sword, a soul fluctuation also surged forth, precisely originating from Ye Guchen.

His remnant Primordial Spirit emitted a fluctuation, informing Jun Xiaoyao that he had not completely perished.

On the contrary, he might perhaps still be able to borrow this, reshape his self, achieve nirvana and rebirth, and walk out another true Sword Dao peak path!
