Torrential rain poured down from the sky.
There were hundreds of thousands of people present, but they couldn't make a sound.
Everyone's heart was icy cold.
The Divine Palace expert, the deputy palace master of the Saber Conferred Monarch Palace, had died in the hands of his disciple.
"Yu Bufan, you..." The palace master clenched his fists with a complicated expression.
The Saber Conferred Monarch Palace had lost a Divine Palace expert.
But Yu Bufan had volunteered, so he couldn't stop him.
"Gu Zun..."
The sword cultivators who supported Gu Zun were silent.
Vaguely, there was an extreme disdain and mockery in his eyes.
"What Sword Maniac? He's a lunatic!"
"He even killed his own master. What an inhumane beast!"
"He's not a sword cultivator. We won't admit that he's a sword cultivator!"
All the sword cultivators were agitated.
They couldn't allow the inhumane lunatic to tarnish the reputation of sword cultivators.
It was not just the saber cultivators. Even the ordinary cultivators cursed endlessly.
"Sword Sect Ye, kill Gu Zun!"
"Kill Sword Maniac. He's a lunatic!"
Almost everyone supported Gu Zun at the beginning.
But now, everyone hoped that Gu Zun would die!
Even Princess Yuan Xi and the others hated Ye Guchen, but they also hated Gu Zun.
"It's best if the two of them die together," Princess Yuan Xi said coldly.
For a time, Gu Zun was condemned and cursed by everyone!
Amidst the rain...
Gu Zun stood alone, holding the Seven Slaughter Ancient Saber in his hand.
He looked a little lonely.
"Gu Zun, let's fight..."
Ye Guchen slowly raised the Blood Hell Sword.
There was no need to say anything now.
He didn't mock him. After all, Ye Guchen had done something similar, although the nature was different.
Gu Zun was much more ruthless than Ye Guchen.
"Haha..."
Gu Zun raised his head, the rain washing away the blood on his face.
"Cut open the sky of the South Horizon Region?"
Gu Zun muttered to himself.
An unprecedented wave of energy radiated from Gu Zun's body.
The aura was like a black cloud, covering the entire place!
All of the clamor and cursing stopped in an instant …
"That is … Saber Qi!"
Many cultivators' hearts trembled as they stared at the Prime Sovereign who was facing the sky with his eyes closed.
Wherever that aura passed, the rain that filled the sky was instantly annihilated.
The Seven Murders Ancient Saber emitted a buzzing sound.
The Seven Killing Stars beyond the heavens lit up with a beautiful blood-colored radiance, as if they were weeping blood.
"The complete peerless saber is about to be born …" The white-haired man said with a deep sigh in the distorted void.
Rumble!
Lightning gathered in the sky.
The entire Forbidden Purple Mountain began to tremble.
At first, it was very weak, but later on, it began to tremble violently.
"Rumble …" It was like an earthquake. Many cultivators revealed panicked expressions.
The Seven Kills Ancient Saber emitted a terrifying Saber Qi that could destroy the heavens and earth. Within the terrifying Saber Qi, an illusory figure could be vaguely seen.
"I'm the Seven Kills Saber Saint. I've been unhindered throughout my life. My Seven Kills Saber Art has cut open the sky. Today, my successor has finally appeared in this world. With one saber in hand, he shall kill everyone in the world!"
Boom!
The illusory figure was like a god descending. His voice spread throughout the empire.
An unparalleled aura even made the Divine Dwelling experts present feel a sense of suffocation.
"What is that …"
"Seven Kills Saber Saint, Saber Saint, could it be a Saint!"
"Heavens, Gu Zun has obtained the Saint's inheritance!"
An uproar exploded across the heavens and earth!
No one had thought that the Seven Kills Ancient Saber would contain the Saint's inheritance!
In other words, Gu Zun had become the Saber Saint's successor!
"The Saint's inheritance!"
Even Princess Feng Xi, Crown Prince Xinghong, and other heaven's prides from top empires were moved.
The Saint's inheritance was an existence that even they could not touch.
But now, it had been obtained by a heaven's pride from a low-level empire.
"The Saint's inheritance, there's no doubt about the outcome. Ye Guchen is going to lose."
Yu Wenji, Duanmu Yu, Que Ling 'er, Ku Mo, and other heaven's prides shook their heads.
The Saint's inheritance had appeared, so how could Ye Guchen have any chance of winning?
"This … the Saint's inheritance, then senior brother Ye …"
There was dead silence in the Sword Sect Pagoda Forest.
Ye Guchen's performance had greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
But now that Gu Zun had obtained the Saint's inheritance, he was no longer someone that could be defeated by ordinary people.
Even the heaven's prides from top empires would most likely die if they encountered Gu Zun.
At this moment, all the cultivators who had cursed Gu Zun tactfully shut their mouths.
After obtaining the Saint's inheritance, Gu Zun would certainly be a powerhouse of his generation if he didn't die prematurely.
He wasn't someone they could insult or offend.
Even so, they still cursed Gu Zun in their hearts.
But now, no one was shouting for Ye Guchen to kill Gu Zun anymore.
Because it was simply impossible.
At the Forbidden City peak, saber qi turned into a storm that swept across the sky.
Gu Zun opened his eyes, his gaze indifferent.
There wasn't a trace of emotion in them.
"From now on, I'm no longer the Saber Maniac, but …"
"Seven Kills Saber Demon!"
Gu Zun roared into the sky, saber qi sweeping across the area.
His aura rose again, his cultivation soaring to the peak of the Heaven Earth Spirit Bridge realm.
At this moment, the Seven Kills Ancient Saber was completely unsealed.
Rumble. Lightning gathered in the sky, as if trembling with the release of the Seven Kills Ancient Saber.
"Is the Seven Kills Ancient Saber a heavenly tribulation divine weapon? Why does it feel more powerful than a heavenly tribulation divine weapon?"
Looking at the lightning that gathered in the sky but didn't dare to fall, the crowd was shocked again.
The Seven Kills Ancient Saber was so powerful that the lightning didn't dare to fall!
"One hundred percent perfect, peerless saber!"
Gu Zun held the Seven Kills Ancient Saber with both hands, not using any technique.
He simply slashed out with his saber!
The sky … shattered!
The clouds in the sky were split in two!
One hundred percent perfect, peerless saber had appeared in the world again!
"Asura Sword Principle, Ten Thousand Deities Tribulation!"
Ye Guchen's expression changed as he activated the Asura Sword Principle.
The Asura Blood Sea spread out.
Ten Thousand Deities Tribulation, Life Fall. The sword swept out again, destroying heaven and earth.
However …
Pfft!
Ye Guchen retreated rapidly, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
The Heavenly Demon General Armor, which was a supreme-grade Mystical Inscription Divine Weapon, shattered into metal shards that filled the air.
One saber strike had destroyed the Heavenly Demon General Armor!
"This …"
Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they had lost their souls.
There was no technique, just a simple swing of the saber.
Ye Guchen was directly sent flying, the armor on his body shattered!
"Is this the power of the peerless saber?" Even the white-haired man's chest heaved as he took a deep breath.
The power of the peerless saber shocked him.
However, the price of comprehending the peerless saber was not something ordinary people could bear.
"As expected, only a lunatic can comprehend this peerless saber," the white-haired man exclaimed.
"Ye Guchen, come and fight me! I've completely comprehended the peerless saber. Come and fight me!"
Gu Zun went crazy. He seemed to be laughing but not laughing, crying but not crying. His eyes were as red as blood.
He had really gone crazy.
He was no longer the Saber Maniac, but the Seven Kills Saber Demon!
Endless blood runes spread all over his body.
Gu Zun had gone crazy, turning into a saber demon. He only wanted to kill Ye Guchen.
He didn't want to think about anything else.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Gu Zun swung his saber repeatedly, each strike enough to kill an ordinary Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge cultivator.
Ye Guchen was repeatedly sent flying. The Heavenly Demon General Armor was completely shattered, and cracks began to appear on the Blood Hell Sword.
Pfft!
Ye Guchen crashed heavily on the ground, creating a huge pit that was several feet deep.
In front of the peerless saber, Ye Guchen vomited blood and retreated in defeat. He was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
"Ye Guchen, surrender!"
Yan Wushuang screamed crazily in the Sword Sect's pagoda forest, tears in her eyes.
Gu Zun had gone crazy, and no one could stop him.
Anyone who tried to stop him would die!
