This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1564 - 37: Divine Sword

"Land of Heavenly Punishment?" Zang Xiaojian uttered a name that sounded anything but simple, making Lu Qingshan's heart stir slightly.

Ming Yu nodded slightly, looked up toward the mountaintop, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind.

"The two of you, follow me."

Ming Yu led the way ahead, not taking the road to Li City this time; instead, she headed in the opposite direction, deeper into Jingjian City.

Mrs. Ming was naturally familiar with her own city. After winding around several times, she led Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian to the base of a limestone cliff.

At the first sight of the cliff, Lu Qingshan's heart moved.

Because there, within the cliff, was a steep path leading upward.

This was the mountaintop ascent!

Jingjian City was built against the mountain, established on a protruding platform of the Great Peak.

At this time, all roads to Li City were blocked, but the path up the mountain was unobstructed—anyone could see the terrifying power of thunder at the mountaintop, not to be approached lightly, nor was the summit sealed off.

Unless the thunder is extinguished first.

At this moment, the path Ming Yu led Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian on was indeed this hidden ascent.

On the path, from time to time, lightning fell from the mountaintop, stirring up a roaring sound.

Ming Yu offered no further explanation and directly stepped onto this thunder-laden mountain path.

Lu Qingshan and Zang Xiaojian hurriedly followed.

In an instant, the all-encompassing thunder completely concealed their figures.

Ray after ray of lightning appeared, and thunder roared in their ears.

Buzz!

A lightning serpent flew at them, formed of electric light, baring its fangs and waving its claws, spiraling towards them.

Undoubtedly, it was mighty, but it did not contain the power of tribulation.

So Ming Yu was unconcerned, her mind moved, unfolding her Law Domain to enclose the three of them.

The lightning serpent splashed against the Law Domain in electric arcs but could not penetrate.

For a Nine Realms Cultivator, thunder not containing the power of the Heavenly Punishment was hardly worth mentioning.

Ming Yu shielded them with her Law Domain, moving swiftly, charging towards the mountaintop.

"We're almost there; it's much more dangerous up ahead, watch yourselves," Ming Yu cautioned in a low voice.

Actually, without her reminder, Lu Qingshan was already on edge.

After taking a few more steps, they found themselves at the summit, the view suddenly wide and clear.

The mountaintop space was unusually vast, but similarly surrounded by thunder, countless in number.

These thunders were majestic and unparalleled, unleashing unrivaled strength, and the violent vibrations made the three feel like they were about to be ground to fragments.

Lu Qingshan was dumbfounded, astonishedly observing this true precipice.

It seemed like the world's end, yet as if a bottomless abyss, chaotic and dim, ancient.

Besides, lightning constantly poured down from above.

This lightning was extraordinary, each containing the power of tribulation.

Though most contained only weak tribulation force, not worth mentioning, under the enhancement of tribulation, they were elevated from ordinary lightning to tribulation thunder, making them noteworthy.

The horror and might of tribulation thunder, every High Level Cultivator should deeply feel it.

And here, so much tribulation thunder pervaded, causing the space here to be extremely unstable.

You could clearly see the void was filled with twisted and shattered cracks.

These cracks were largely filled by lightning, so even the inherent stability of the Heavenly Dao couldn't mend them.

The entire area was like a shattered piece of porcelain, forcibly pieced together by clumsy hands.

At this moment, giant thunderclaps flew from afar in front, then burst in the void, bringing destruction.

"That is..." Lu Qingshan instinctively followed the direction of the lightning, and immediately his pupils dilated, hardly believing his eyes.

In the area his sight reached, there were streams of radiant light, incredibly bright, almost blinding.

These radiances were all formed by thunder, like raindrops, pouring down from the invisible sky dome, crackling continuously, simply too dense.

And at the center of where these radiances fell, there floated a sword suspended in midair, more brilliant than the radiance itself....a sword!

Yes, a sword!

A purple sword.

Not a near-black purple, but a purple like the cosmic starry sky.

Deep, unknown, and captivating.

The sword's material was extremely ancient, yet it emitted the most brilliant light, stirring up the world's great terror of tribulation thunder.

Most of the tribulation thunder lingered around that purple long sword, with a few diffusing, flowing around.

"A sword?" Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"Since you've seen it, there's nothing left to hide," Ming Yu sighed, quickly explaining, "That sword is what the Zang family has guarded for generations."

No wonder the Zang ancestors would use the sword as the Island Artifact and even named the Zang Ancestral City Jingjian City...apart from valuing the sword's offensive nature, the more important reason should be this purple sword.

"We don't know its name and are accustomed to calling it the Tribulation Sword."

"The Tribulation Sword continuously draws and gathers the power of tribulation thunder, accumulating over the years, the amassed strength becomes too overwhelming and spills out, causing Lingye Island to be surrounded by thunder all year round, further distorting and breaking the surrounding space, forming this Land of Heavenly Punishment."

"Besides the thunder surrounding Lingye Island, the thunder force drawn by island cultivators for sword forging, is also taken from this sword."
