Chapter 1170 - Great Sky Force Formation (1/2)

The desert palace did indeed live up to its name.

This was a thought that had circulated in Happy’s mind multiple times.

The black sandstorm happened once every fifty years. It managed to change the weather, but it could only open the tunnel to the desert palace.

The tunnel was hundreds of feet long. Even though it was narrow, it had managed to kill more than one hundred Myth Realm elites.

The fatal trap that promised only one sliver of a chance to survive within ten steps, the ingenious sand waterfall, the ancient mutated Black Sandstorm Scorpions, and the precious metal that could be used to create divine weapons.

All this were just rewards that were placed outside the desert palace.

Right now, they discovered another extraordinary reward in the hall.

It was a longsword which had been corroded by time for hundreds of years. It lasted through a long period of time quietly in the hall, but it still retained its sword will and imposing presence. There was no need for anyone to mention it, they knew that this was definitely a divine weapon, and it was a high-grade divine weapon that was of extraordinary quality.

Happy was not the only one who felt a desire for the sword. He quickly looked toward the other dozens of large pits in the hall. The sect masters around him held their breaths, and their gazes became intense.

“Master…”

Thousand-faced Human Fox could not suppress the desire and urge in his heart. He could not stop gulping and wiping off the sweat on his palms as he sent a private message to Happy.

“The longsword in the cave is definitely a high-grade divine weapon, and it’ll be worth cities. I don’t know which royal family created such a huge formation, and you can even find high-grade divine weapons in random holes. There are forty-nine pits in the hall, and wouldn’t that mean that there are forty-nine high-grade divine weapons in total?! Tsk tsk, instead of wandering around the lands for ten years, it’s better to just explore the area outside the desert palace.”

“Don’t be reckless.”

Happy knew that with Thousand-faced Human Fox’s reputation as a divine thief in the Chinese plains, he was definitely feeling a great urge to steal. He quickly sent a private message to warn him. “There are plenty of elites in the dao of heaven watching. If you don’t want to die, suppress that urge.”

In truth, quite a number of elites in the area had the urge to go down and grab the high-grade divine weapon, because even sect masters might not have a good quality weapon they could use at ease. Right now, there was a sword without a master before them, and there was no way they would not be tempted.

But there were eight elites in the dao of heaven in the area, and one of them was the mysterious man in the fanged mask, who would kill at a whim. No one could be certain as to whether they could come out alive after they went down.

In comparison, the elites in the dao of heaven were much calmer.

The martial paragon frowned slightly and spoke, “This longsword might be a key to a mechanism in the hall.”

“…Yes.”

The group nodded.

The Myth Realm elites in the area had their expressions become stern. When they stared at the high-grade divine weapon, their gazes were no longer as fervent as before.

Evil King said, “That’s not right. There are forty-nine such pits in the hall, and yet the one we picked at random happens to have a divine weapon. It will be too early for us to form that conclusion now.”

Ye Gucheng, Bi Xuan, the old zither player and the others nodded.

“That’s right.”

“It won’t be convenient for me to take action. I’m afraid I will have to trouble all of you to get the sand out of the remaining forty-eight pits.” Dongfang Bubai covered his mouth slightly. He tried his best to speak with a coquettish voice. Many of them felt goosebumps all over their skin when they saw this, but they did not dare to show their emotions.

“Ahem.”

Ye Gucheng coughed intentionally and was able to attract everyone’s attention back on him. He said, “Since Dongfang isn’t willing to take action, we shouldn’t force him. Let’s take care of seven each, and once we get the yellow sand out, we can check whether each of them contains a divine weapon and whether they have a connection to this formation.

“Alright!”

“I’ll go do it now.”

“I’ll handle this side.”

The old zither player and Ye Gucheng were the first to take action. Then, the mysterious man in the fanged mask and Evil King slowly turned around.

Bi Xuan cast a cold glance at Evil Kill and Empress Yin before his eyes fell on Osaya. He said nothing and just left.

Evil King and Empress Yin worked together, and in the blink of an eye, they cleared on hole.

It was just as everyone expected.

There was indeed a sword stuck deep in each of the pits. When the sand from all forty-nine pits were moved into the hall, the expressions of the people in the hall became much more stern.

Because at the same time they discovered the divine weapons, the sword wills that remained on each sword seemed to have created some sort of strange echo with each other in the hall.

Buzz…

The divine weapons were rumbling!

The forty-nine divine weapons trembled together faintly to form a great sword will in the air in the hall. Everyone could feel a powerful sword will being targeted at them.

This feeling of being targeted caused everyone to forget that there were forty-nine high-grade divine weapons by their feet, and they could get them at any time they wanted!

“What is this formation?!”

“No one is controlling it, and it has existed for hundreds of years, but it’s still so powerful!” When the old zither player spoke, the sound of metal scratching against each other rose, and it was incredibly piercing to the ears.

One among the eight elites in the dao of heaven practiced the dao of swords—Ye Gucheng!

Ye Gucheng was the one who was the most sensitive to the rune in the crowd.

“A sword formation! This is a sword formation!”
