Chapter 678 Dark Sword Master

There is no doubt that there is only one palace here, nothing else. Naturally, the spiritual consciousness overlord is afraid of this palace.

But this palace is just a dead thing. Even if the palace is magnificent, it will not make the overlord of the holy tomb so afraid that he dare not come. There must be something in this palace. And this palace must have an extraordinary origin. It can be seen from the plaque above the palace. There is such a plaque here, but Lin Chen can't see it.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little curious. What on earth could make the spiritual consciousness overlord so afraid?

He took a deep breath and walked towards the palace decisively. At this moment, his way back was blocked and he could only go forward.

As expected, Lin Chen easily entered the palace.

The air in the palace was gray like the holy tomb, and it was impossible to see what was inside. However, Lin Chen had the help of soul power. Even if the sky was gray and gloomy, he could still clearly observe the movements around him.

The palace was empty, with nothing inside. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. It looked like it had been there for some time. The only thing that caught Lin Chen's attention was a small iron door on the left side of the palace. When observing the iron door, Lin Chen suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon.

"There is so much dust on the ground, but the door is so clean?" Lin Chen was puzzled.

He found that the iron door was extremely clean, which formed a sharp contrast with the dust on the ground. If this was due to the characteristics of the iron door, Lin Chen did not find anything strange on the iron door, and this palace could not be compared with other palaces that Lin Chen had seen. Other palaces were inhabited, and generally large and small formations were arranged. With the protection of the formation, dust would naturally not appear.

But here it was confusing. The ground was full of dust, but the door was extremely clean.

"Could it be that someone deliberately placed the palace here?" Lin Chen's heart moved, and he thought of such a possibility, otherwise it might also cause the ground to be full of dust, but the door was extremely clean. Apart from this possibility, then only someone has been here and cleaned the dust on the door.

Lin Chen shook his head. No matter what the reason is, there is something unreasonable. After all, this place is the center of the Holy Tomb. Even if someone has the ability to do this, they will not be so bored as to deliberately place such a large palace here.

There is only one door in the palace, and there is no other way out. Lin Chen strode towards the iron gate. The moment he entered the iron gate, Lin Chen keenly noticed that the surrounding vision became increasingly dim, and it was completely pitch black. Even though Lin Chen had a high level of cultivation and keen senses, he could not see too far with his naked eyes.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

Although the naked eye cannot see the situation behind the iron door, Lin Chen's soul power can cover the surroundings at any time.

This room is not big, and there is nothing else in the room. But the next moment, his soul power suddenly scanned an object...

"This is..." With the help of soul power, Lin Chen clearly saw that there was a corpse in the center of the room!

The corpse was wearing golden armor, but it looked quite old. It was obvious that it had been here for a long time, and the color was very dull. The golden armor had been there for a while, but the corpse inside the armor was well preserved.

He stood in the middle of the room with his eyes closed, motionless, like a lifelike sculpture.

Lin Chen looked up and down at the corpse, and then he found that in his right hand, he was still holding a broken ancient sword, but the ancient sword was broken so badly that only the hilt was left, so Lin Chen didn't notice it at first.

In addition, what caught Lin Chen's attention was a small sword engraved on the forehead of the corpse.

Lin Chen's eyes condensed.

"What is his relationship with the master of the sword inheritance?" Lin Chen took a deep breath, his heart full of shock.

The small sword on the forehead of the corpse was very similar to the small sword on the forehead of the middle-aged man in white that Lin Chen met when he accepted the sword inheritance in the inheritance land. At that time, when Lin Chen accepted the sword inheritance, he could not see the face of the middle-aged man in white clearly, but only saw the small sword on the forehead of the middle-aged man in white, so he remembered it deeply.

Although the small swords on the foreheads of the two were very similar, Lin Chen could also conclude that this person must not be the master of the sword inheritance.

"The master of the sword inheritance master has mastered the eight sword intentions and inherited the eight sword intentions. With his strength, there are not many people in the entire Tianling Continent who can compete with him, unless a large number of Bailing clan life and death realm kings besiege him." Lin Chen did not believe that with the strength of the master of the sword inheritance, anyone could kill him.

In addition, the most important thing is that Lin Chen has come into contact with the master of the sword inheritance, and he is very familiar with the latter's aura. Some powerful people in the world who have reached the pinnacle of strength can change their appearance, but everyone has their own aura, which cannot be changed, so Lin Chen concluded that this person is not the master of the sword inheritance.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel moved.

"The Three Sword Kings had been to the Heaven Beyond Heaven and experienced a life-and-death battle. At that time, he was surrounded by several Bailing Clan Life and Death Realm Kings. Later, a middle-aged man in white appeared and killed the Bailing Clan Life and Death Realm Kings with one sword. So, could the middle-aged man in white who saved the Three Sword Kings be the master of the sword inheritance?"

After so much, Lin Chen does not believe that the inheritance land of Tianling Continent has nothing to do with Tianwaitian, or in other words, it has something to do with the ancient war between Tianling Continent and Bailing Clan. Perhaps the inheritance land is where the ancient great power opened up many small worlds with great magical powers before his death, and then connected these small worlds to each other, and then placed their respective inheritances in them.

As for the Three Sword Kings...

"Whether the one who saved the Three Sword Kings was the Lord of Sword Dao inheritance, I am afraid no one knows except the Lord of Sword Dao inheritance." Even the Three Sword Kings himself did not know that the middle-aged man in white who saved him was the Lord of Sword Dao inheritance. Lin Chen and the Three Sword Kings were not from the same era, and it was even more impossible for him to know the specific situation at that time.

But no matter what, the corpse in front of him must be related to the Lord of Sword Dao inheritance.

Lin Chen also had awe for the Lord of Sword Dao inheritance. If it weren't for the Sword Master, Lin Chen wouldn't have been able to master the Destruction Sword Intent so easily. In addition, Lin Chen had seen the Sword Master perform the Eight Sword Intents, which was crucial to him. It was precisely because Lin Chen had seen the Eight Sword Intents that he was able to comprehend other Sword Intents relatively easily.

It can be said that the Sword Master was Lin Chen's enlightenment teacher in practicing the Sword Intent.

It's just that he didn't formally become his disciple.

"When I accepted the inheritance, the Sword Master said that I was the sixteenth person to accept the Sword Master in countless years, and there were fifteen senior brothers and sisters before me."

So, could this person be one of the fifteen people who first received the Sword Master's inheritance before Lin Chen accepted the Sword Master's inheritance?

This possibility is very high. After all, the forehead of this corpse is also engraved with the same small sword as the Sword Master's. Of course, there are other possibilities. Maybe this person is the Sword Master's junior brother, or senior brother, etc. In any case, this corpse must be related to the Sword Master.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and used his soul power to look at the corpse up and down again.

In this extremely dark room, even though Lin Chen's cultivation was profound, his naked eyes were almost useless and he could not see anything at all. In fact, the entire Holy Tomb was like this. As for the specific reason, Lin Chen attributed it to the fog in the air of the Holy Tomb. The entire Holy Tomb was gloomy and the fog was caused by the gloom. For some reason, it could affect Lin Chen's sight.

You know, outside, even if the night falls, the sky is pitch black and you can't see your fingers, with Lin Chen's cultivation, he can see very far.

The soul power did not see anything more about the corpse. This corpse was quite tall and handsome. I think he was also a very romantic person when he was alive.

"Who is he?" Lin Chen pondered for a while. Just from the small sword on the forehead of the corpse, he could only infer that the corpse was related to the master of the sword inheritance, but he had no idea who it was.

Lin Chen walked around the corpse, wanting to see if there was anything his soul power had not found. After all, soul power is not omnipotent. Many things in Tianling Continent can prevent soul power from detecting. Lin Chen had already discovered this when he was still in Yannan Territory.

Just as Lin Chen thought, there was indeed something beside this corpse that he had not discovered before.

Behind the corpse, there was a half-meter-high stone tablet. Such a huge stone tablet was not noticed by Lin Chen's soul power. Fortunately, the stone tablet was huge, otherwise it would be extremely dark here. If Lin Chen did not squat down, he might not have found it.

"Dark Sword Master of the Divine Sword Palace!" The large characters engraved on the stone tablet were vigorous and powerful. Lin Chen only looked at it and realized that it contained a very huge sword intent. This sword intent was different from Lin Chen's sword intent of destruction, time and death. Its aura was very dark. Combined with the extremely dark space around it, it seemed extremely deep and gave people an extremely fearful feeling.

"Divine Sword Palace..."

Lin Chen was cultivating sword intent after all. Although the sword intent on this stone tablet was quite huge, it had not yet reached the point where the sword intent in the handwriting alone could threaten him. His attention was completely focused on the few large characters engraved on the stone tablet.

Lin Chen's heart moved. The Dark Sword Master of the Divine Sword Palace engraved on the stone tablet undoubtedly referred to the corpse in front of him.

When the corpse was alive, it was the Dark Sword Master of the Divine Sword Palace. No wonder this room was darker than the outside. Even though Lin Chen's cultivation was powerful, he could not see anything with his naked eyes, precisely because of this corpse.

This corpse cultivated the Dark Sword Intent. According to the location of this person's corpse in the Holy Tomb, he must have been an extremely powerful existence when he was alive. It is not surprising that the Dark Sword Intent in his body spread out after his death.

Lin Chen looked up and down at the room again, and sure enough, there was a faint dark sword intent in the room. This dark sword intent was extremely weak and hidden. If Lin Chen had not observed it carefully now, he would probably not have been able to discover it.
