Fantasy: I Become God by playing a game [Dungeons + LitRPG +Xinxia]

**Chapter 47: New Dungeon - Ancient Sword Cultivator's Tomb (3)**

The Seven Killing Sword Formation is a very common and practical sword formation at Cangjian Peak of the Qingyun Sect.

The most significant feature of this sword formation is that it allows the seven participants to converge their killing intent into a singular, powerful killing force.

The person who sets up the formation at the center can freely distribute this killing intent, controlling it as if it were an arm.

For cultivators from other schools, killing intent may be merely an invisible and ethereal concept.

However, for sword cultivators, who value direct attack, the killing intent is a tangible force that can be wielded.

When the killing intent is condensed to a certain degree, the sword cultivator can merge it with their own sword intent to form a unique power.

This fusion not only deters the enemy but also amplifies the cultivator's strength.

Su Chen sensed the terror of this power at that moment.

Although the oppressive feeling was not exactly on par with that of the foundation-building stage, it was close.

On the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, seven sword demons blocked all directions in which Su Chen could retreat, uniting their force.

Su Chen's green lotus pupils spun wildly, searching for the weak points of the Seven Killing Sword Formation.

In Su Chen's vision, an illusory sword diagram was suspended above the heads of the seven sword demons.

The patterns of this sword diagram were intricate and complex.

Although Su Chen could not fully comprehend the diagram, he could see seven light spots within it.

The largest light spot was the elite sword demon at the center of the sword formation.

There was no doubt that these light spots represented the seven sword demons forming the sword formation below.

Confident in his ability to resurrect indefinitely, Su Chen chose not to dodge but prepared to withstand this sword formation and identify its weaknesses.

Moreover, the Seven Killing Sword Formation was strong enough to give the seven Qi Gathering stage sword demons a presence comparable to that of foundation-building cultivators.

If he could learn this sword formation, then in the future—whether using the Qingxuan puppet or the Black Spirit in the Black Dragon Sword—he could replicate the seven sword demons before him and create his own Seven Killing Sword Formation.

This would undoubtedly enhance his strength.

Thus, Su Chen was not only focused on how to defeat the seven sword demons before him, but also on how to acquire this sword formation.

The best way to learn the sword formation was undoubtedly through direct experience.

However, the cost of such learning... was not trivial.

Boom!

When the seven sword demons closed in on him, Su Chen felt an immense pressure like a mountain bearing down on him.

He understood that this pressure was not merely psychological but a real product of the gathered killing intent.

The surge of murderous pressure caused Su Chen to stagger momentarily, nearly causing him to fall.

The seven sword demons did not allow him a moment to collect himself, and the two closest immediately launched an attack.

Under the pressure, Su Chen could only perform the Floating Cloud Step in a slightly haphazard manner, barely avoiding one of the sword demons' attacks.

Then, he swung his sword at another sword demon.

Ding!

The moment the vibrating Black Dragon Sword collided with the evil sword of the sword demon, Su Chen felt as though his sword had struck a mountain, yielding no movement against the opponent.

With the blessing of the Green Lotus Pupils, Su Chen saw more clearly that his attack was somehow dispersed by the sword demon.

There was no doubt that this was the effect of the Seven Killing Sword Formation.

Time was not on Su Chen's side; more sword demons were closing in.

He soon found himself surrounded, besieged by six sword demons.

The elite sword demon in the distance watched from the sidelines, patiently observing Su Chen's weaknesses without rushing to attack.

One minute later, after becoming accustomed to the Seven Killing Sword Formation, Su Chen finally found some opportunities to counterattack the sword demons around him.

Although these counterattacks weren't painful, they were a crucial step forward.

At this point, Su Chen had roughly deduced the effects of the sword formation.

First, the potent pressure could condense the killing intent into an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on anyone trapped within the formation, thus preventing them from utilizing their full strength.

Second, the integrative nature of the person casting the formation caused each of the enemy's attacks to be dispersed among the seven sword demons, preventing them from being defeated one by one.

These two factors meant that even when Su Chen summoned all of his strength, he could only exert 50% of his capacity.

This frustrating sense of having power without the means to use it left him uncomfortable.

'I cannot continue like this.'

As the saying goes, a prolonged attack leads to failure.

While he had yet to discover the flaw within the Seven Killing Sword Formation, Su Chen understood that his initial attempt had almost reached its limits.

If the situation continued to unfold without change, he might not be able to launch an effective counterattack.

Let alone find a way to break the formation.

"Roar!"

With the iconic dragon roar, the Black Dragon Sword in Su Chen's hand began to vibrate violently.

Silver-white sword energy emanated from his body and quickly condensed into a magnificent silver-white dragon.

Perhaps it was due to his own cultivation improvement or the influence of the magical weapon, the Black Dragon Sword, but Su Chen's sword energy dragon exhibited subtle changes compared to before.

At the center of the dragon's brow, a piece of black dragon scale appeared, giving the sword energy dragon a sense of mystique it had previously lacked.

The emergence of the sword energy dragon temporarily pushed back the surrounding sword demons while alleviating some of the pressure on Su Chen.

Seeing this, the elite sword demon that had refrained from action finally moved.

It stepped forward, and the tumorous evil sword in its right hand opened its bloody mouth, unleashing a torrent of strange blood-red energy.

Before long, this energy coalesced into a bizarre blood-colored giant sword.

Su Chen and the elite sword demon exchanged glances before launching their attacks almost in unison.

Boom!

The sword energy dragon collided with the blood-colored giant sword, sending forth countless shards of scattered sword energy.

The previously invincible sword energy dragon reached a stalemate for a moment before it dissipated, unable to be sustained by Su Chen any longer.

However, the elite sword demon's blood-colored giant sword also emerged damaged.

Not only was its blade scarred, but the seven sword demons that formed the sword formation also vomited blood.

Had they not shared the effects of Su Chen's attack among themselves, that single strike would have sufficed to end the elite sword demon's life.

One against seven, especially with the opponent forming a sword formation, placed Su Chen at a disadvantage.

Su Chen looked up at the blood-colored giant sword barreling toward him, his expression calm.

Although he failed this time, he had gained a rough understanding of the Seven Killing Sword Formation's nature.

As long as he could identify the weaknesses of this sword formation, breaking it would be a foregone conclusion.

Boom!

As the blood-colored giant sword descended completely, Su Chen—having exhausted his spiritual power—was swallowed by destruction.

[You are dead.]

"Huh, it's the taste of death that I haven't felt in a long time."

The resurrected Su Chen stood in front of the gate of the Sword Pavilion and began to analyze the reasons for his previous failure.

Just like he had done in the dungeon of the Ancient Cultivator's Tomb.

Similar to traditional dungeons, the cultivation of immortality dungeons operates on a standard "level mode."

Only upon fully completing a "level" can one reap all rewards from it.

This setup is akin to the game "Dungeon and Warrior" that Su Chen played in his previous life.

Thus, although he had been resurrected and the dungeon had been refreshed, only the circumstances in the Sword Pavilion had reset—the ordinary sword demons in the square remained unchanged.

Recalling the battle from earlier, Su Chen slowly came to a decision.

If he wished to break the Seven Killing Sword Formation, he needed a deeper understanding of it.

The existence of the Green Lotus Pupils allowed him to perceive the details of the sword formation more clearly.

Therefore, all he needed was to level up the Green Lotus Pupils and engage in a few more battles to find a way to break the formation.

With that thought in mind, Su Chen immediately checked his experience points and the skill level of the Green Lotus Pupils.
