"To think that even now, we still haven’t found a way to break through this thin layer! As expected of the Immortal Tomb!" Intense greed flashed in the Demon Race expert’s eyes.
"Men! Set up the formation again! I am going to re-enter the Immortal Tomb!"
As soon as the command was given, several Demons radiating incredibly powerful auras knelt before him and shouted in unison, "Yes, Demon Saint!"
Inside the Immortal Tomb.
Adam was buried in deep thought. For a weapon of the Immortal-Trapping Sword’s terrifying caliber, an ordinary formation definitely wouldn’t be able to suppress it, this was precisely why he hadn’t opted for this method from the very beginning.
It required a vast amount of time to conceptualize and design, and inside this Immortal Tomb, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it became, furthermore, the materials he carried on his person might not be enough to fully suppress the sword’s intent, therefore, the formation had to be designed with even greater ingenuity and absolute precision.
Fortunately, the Grand Flame Dao Talisman was active in this layer’s restriction, for Adam, it was currently stripped of its usual deadly difficulty, he could focus on designing the formation in peace, his only lingering worry was whether that Demon Race expert would return.
It was best to finish as quickly as possible.
Time trickled by, Adam alternated between deep contemplation and picking up materials to carve intricate runes, unknowingly, four hours passed.
Cecilia had been standing guard silently on the side all along, making sure not to disturb Adam, that was, until he finally called out to her.
"Cecilia, the formation carving is complete, let’s get ready to transfer the Immortal-Trapping Sword!"
Cecilia nodded, letting out a heavy sigh of relief in her heart, it was finally done. "Understood, Young Master!"
What Adam had carved was a Transfer Formation, specifically meant to transport the Immortal-Trapping Sword into a custom scabbard he had crafted entirely out of the Sword Flower crystals.
However, because the sword’s intent of slaughter was far too overwhelming, Adam had also incorporated over a dozen different types of suppression formation runes during the carving process, these runes coordinated seamlessly with one another, one layer triggering and empowering the next, making the overall structure incredibly complex and tedious to build.
But the resulting effect was exceptionally strong, this was arguably Adam’s most meticulous and complex array creation to date.
Cecilia glanced at the scabbard a few times, couldn’t understand the profound runes on it, and simply decided not to strain her brain thinking about it.
"Young Master, what do I need to do?"
"In a moment, I’m going to pull the sword, I need you to bear the Immortal-Trapping Sword’s initial wave of killing intent alongside me, otherwise, I won’t be able to pull it out!" Adam instructed.
The sword’s killing intent was too ferocious, he couldn’t endure it alone.
"Alright, Young Master!" Cecilia nodded firmly.
Hearing her response, Adam smiled. "Alright then, let’s begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, formation runes lit up beneath both their feet.
This was the Sharing Formation Rune Adam had set up, directly linking his and Cecilia’s senses and burdens together.
Adam walked over to the Immortal-Trapping Sword and took a deep breath, he reached out and tightly grasped its hilt.
Instantly, a ferocious, heaven-destroying killing intent assaulted his mind.
Adam’s body stiffened, sharp, tearing pain flaring through all his meridians, he immediately circulated his core technique to wage war against this killing intent.
At the exact same time, Cecilia also felt the overwhelming killing intent, although her cultivation was not as high as Adam’s, at this critical moment, she resolutely mobilized every ounce of her strength to resist the mental assault alongside him.
Her flawless white forehead was instantly covered in beads of cold sweat, and her beautiful eyes turned blood red, even evenly shared between them, this killing intent was highly strenuous to endure.
However, through their combined, unyielding efforts, the Immortal-Trapping Sword was successfully pulled free.
The moment it left its pedestal, a terrifying storm of sword qi instantly permeated the air.
Riding the momentum in one fluid motion, Adam directly thrust the sword into the crystal scabbard.
The terrifying killing intent instantly vanished without a trace, cut off by the suppressive formations.
Adam and Cecilia braced their hands on their knees, panting heavily for air, it was finally over.
Adam looked at the sheathed Immortal-Trapping Sword in his hand, smiled faintly, and said, "Although I don’t know why you called out to me, since you’ve chosen to follow me, I won’t let you gather dust."
The Immortal-Trapping Sword vibrated a few times within its scabbard, Adam knew this was the sword responding to his promise.
He then took out several yellow talismans and slapped them all onto the scabbard.
These were high-tier suppression talismans, meant to further lock down the sword’s killing aura, otherwise, relying solely on the scabbard wouldn’t hold up for long against such an ominous weapon.
Thinking about it this way, it seems the Yellow Emperor’s Sword is much easier to use! Adam glanced at the Yellow Emperor’s Sword in his right hand with profound gratitude.
Fortunately, the weapon he had encountered in that secret realm back then had been the gentle and righteous Yellow Emperor’s Sword, and not one of the notorious Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter, otherwise, he would have been instantly counter-killed by the sword on the spot.
What would happen if a Demon wielded the Immortal-Trapping Sword? Would they also be corrupted by its killing intent? They would probably fare slightly better than ordinary humans.
"Alright, Cecilia, let’s go!" With the Immortal-Trapping Sword safely secured, it was time to leave, if the Demon Saint returned now, things would be utterly disastrous.
The light of the formation slowly dimmed, and the sword qi vortex that had originally protected the sword gradually dissipated into the void.
Adam and Cecilia walked out of the fading vortex, without lingering for even a second, they quickly retraced their steps, very soon, they successfully exited the Immortal Tomb.
As for the next restriction, they could only come back after their strength had sufficiently improved.
Outside the Immortal Tomb.
The Demon Race expert stood beneath the blood-colored dome, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, he had successfully set up the projection formation once more, allowing his phantom body to pass through the faint white halo and enter the Immortal Tomb.
