Chapter 576: Incredible Advantages Within Reach!

Ouyang Ran quietly spoke to Su Yi, aware that Su Yi wasn’t familiar with the Divine Sword School.

“The Azure Flame Sword, the Ancient Wilderness Sword…”

“That, that is the Phoenix Sun Sword!”

“Also, there’s the legendary Thunder Dragon Celestial Sword!”

The astonished cries rang out, and one by one, the disciples of the Divine Sword School were left speechless. The swords on the stone platforms were all legendary, each with a history of powerful warriors wielding them and leaving countless stories in their wake. These swords, once mere legends within the Divine Sword School, were now visible to everyone. How could such a sight not stir excitement?

“The greatest rewards are for those who are destined!”

A voice spoke up. It was Yue Shanhe. His eyes were fixed on the magnificent swords atop the stone platforms, suppressing the overwhelming excitement in his heart. Without warning, he surged forward, racing toward the mountaintop.

The tremendous treasures left by the Divine Sword School’s ancestors were the real prize here, and Yue Shanhe, like the others, was determined to claim them.

“Boom!”

As Yue Shanhe leaped toward the platforms, the entire mountain suddenly trembled. The stone platforms, with their swords embedded upside down, seemed to come alive, glowing with intense light.

“Buzz!”

The swords, too, shook and emitted a resonant hum, a sound that was almost musical to the ears.

“Zoom!”

Brilliant rays of light surged from the swords, twisting and intertwining in complex patterns, enveloping the entire mountaintop. Above the glow, faint sword shadows could be seen.

Upon closer inspection, these sword shadows mirrored the swords on the platforms, as though they were connected in some mysterious way, radiating an overwhelming and sharp sword energy.

“Splash!”

As soon as Yue Shanhe leapt, he was immediately blocked by a radiant halo. Sword glimmers erupted from the shield, turning into a massive wave of swords.

“Oh no!”

Yue Shanhe’s face turned pale. He quickly drew his sword and fought back with all his might.

“Ha ha…”

The sword glimmers sliced through the air, landing directly on Yue Shanhe’s body, leaving deep gashes on his shoulder and waist, blood spilling out. Fortunately, Yue Shanhe managed to retreat in time, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow.

His figure staggered back, his face pale and filled with terror. The sword glimmers vanished, and the shimmering shield returned to its normal state.

“Do you think you can stop us?”

Qin Fang shouted, sensing immense opportunity. The legacy of the Divine Sword School’s ancestors lay within his reach. He wasn’t going to back down. With his energy surging, Qin Fang stepped forward, determined to break through the shield.

“Swoosh…”

As Qin Fang advanced, the shimmering shield reacted instantly. Sword gleams erupted in all directions, fiercely shooting toward him.

Despite his preparation, Qin Fang wasn’t fast enough to avoid the attack. He drew his sword and fought back, but he was forced to retreat, injuries already staining his chest and thigh.

“It’s too strong! I can’t get through!”

The onlookers, initially afraid that someone might beat them to the treasure, now realized they had to be extra cautious. The mysterious shimmering shield was a formidable barrier, preventing anyone from getting any closer.

Nan Liran, Gong Qi, and Gu Chenyou were not deterred. They too wanted to try their luck.

But like the others, they failed. Despite their best efforts, the shield blocked them, leaving them wounded as they retreated.

The shield, however, only stopped those who tried to approach. If they kept their distance, it would not attack.

The treasure seemed so close, yet so unreachable. Meanwhile, a loud rumble echoed from below the mountain. A fierce battle raged between the corpses and the sword figures, filling the air with tension and unease.

Su Yi studied the shimmering shield carefully, but he knew better than to rush in. He had just seen Gu Chenyou struggle against it. There was no doubt about the shield’s power—one wrong move, and disaster could strike.

“Could it be…”

Suddenly, Jian Shiyi stepped forward, his black robe flowing as he moved. With a serious expression, he slowly approached the shield.

All eyes were on him, watching intently as Jian Shiyi neared the shimmering shield. As expected, the shield reacted once more. With each step Jian Shiyi took, brilliant beams of sword light shot out, aiming straight at him.

The sword energy was overwhelming, and the onlookers could feel a chill of fear spread through them.

Just as the sword light closed in, Jian Shiyi struck. He swung his precious sword, and a flash of sword radiance arced through the air, deflecting one of the incoming sword beams.

“Chirp chirp…”

There was no clang of swords, as everyone had expected. Instead, the sword beams shattered in front of Jian Shiyi, breaking apart piece by piece.

“Whoosh…”

Only a few stray sword beams grazed Jian Shiyi, cutting a few strands of his hair and leaving shallow cuts on his ear. But in that moment, a crack appeared in the shield before him.

Jian Shiyi’s eyes lit up with excitement. He leaped forward, diving into the shield in a flash.

As soon as Jian Shiyi entered, the shield returned to its normal state.

“What just happened?”

Qin Fang, Yue Shanhe, and the others stared in disbelief. Jian Shiyi had actually gone inside!

Gu Chenyou, even more astonished, thought to himself: in terms of strength, he was at least stronger than Jian Shiyi. Yet just moments ago, Gu Chenyou had failed to block the sword light, and Jian Shiyi shouldn’t have been able to either.

“I understand now, haha!”

Yun Lingfeng laughed, as though a revelation had struck him. With newfound energy, he surged forward.

“Zoom…”

The shield remained intact, and another wave of sword light swept down, casting a terrifying aura.

Yun Lingfeng acted swiftly, his precious sword in hand. With a solemn expression, he met the sword light coming from the shield with his own blade.

“Ding ding!”

A peculiar sound rang out as Yun Lingfeng’s sword collided with the sword light. His sword radiance shattered the light from the shield, leaving behind a visible crack.

“Hahaha…”

Yun Lingfeng burst into laughter, then swiftly entered the protective shield.

“Swoosh…”

Two figures shot forward in unison, one glowing with golden light, the other surrounded by radiant electric energy.

These were Mu Yao and Liu Yunchuan. It seemed that they too had figured out the secret and made their move toward the protective shield.

“Zoom…”

Sword radiance flickered above the shield, forming a dazzling display and blocking the path of Mu Yao and Liu Yunchuan.

In this moment, both Mu Yao and Liu Yunchuan held their cherished swords in their hands. Their expressions were resolute as they prepared to strike.

“Swoosh…”

The sword radiance surged, scattering rays of light in all directions. Cracks formed before the shield, and Mu Yao and Liu Yunchuan swiftly moved in, entering the shield.

“What’s going on? How did they all get inside?”

“Why can’t we get in?”

The remaining onlookers were stunned. Yun Lingfeng, Jian Shiyi, Liu Yunchuan, and Mu Yao had all entered. The treasure was waiting for them inside the shield.

“Can you figure it out?”

Situ Muyang turned to Su Yi, his expression surprised. He wanted to try as well, but was hesitant to take such a dangerous risk.
