Chapter 510: That Hand
Ye Chen raised his sword and surveyed his surroundings. After the monarchs of the Void Ripple Sect formed the Endless Road War Formation, he found himself in this barren expanse. As far as the eye could see and immortal sense could reach, all he found was endless land and sky, with nary a hint of vegetation.
At first, Ye Chen thought he had been transported into a faraway island at the end of the Numinous Realm, but after flying around for a while, he realized that was not the case. Even if it was the Sword Continent, there was no such barren wasteland of such size that he could not see the end without a change in the terrain.
Next, he suspected he was under an illusion. Ye Chen used every method he could to break the illusion, but soon after, he had to conclude that he was not under an illusion. He wasn’t adept at illusions, but he had a high resistance to them thanks to his powerful willpower. He was confident that no immortal monarchs could make him fall under their illusion.
However, that didn’t mean he could block illusions that came from the combination of many monarchs or from an immortal emperor with his willpower alone. He had another trump card.
Ye Chen increased the grip on his sword. In complete contrast to Emperor Wujian’s sword, the sword in his grasp was anything but plain. The hilt and handle was pure silver with decorative inlays not suitable for battle. The blade was the most eye-catching feature, having a reflective surface akin to a mirror.
This was the Kunlun Sword, an incomplete divine artifact forged from the broken Kunlun Mirror. It was a pity, but the Kunlun Mirror had shattered during one of Ye Chen’s journeys, so he found an artificer to reforge it to its current form.
Although it was reformed, it was originally a divine artifact. Just holding it granted a slew of abilities to Ye Chen, one of which was increased illusion resistance. Unless a peak immortal sovereign took action, it would be difficult for him to fall under an illusion permanently.
“Did they send me into an immortal grotto?” Ye Chen muttered to himself. Unfortunately, although he mastered the Law of Time, his talent in the Law of Space was pitiable.
The Kunlun Sword vibrated, causing the air around to fracture into a kaleidoscope. With a swing, a gargantuan tear appeared between the sky and earth. Alas, on the other end of the tear was still another barren wasteland. He did not give up and swung it a hundred more times, each with the same results.
