Above Hantian Palace, Old Ancestor Hai Treading Sea stood in the air, watching everything with a smile.
Today, Old Ancestor Hantian was no match for him.
At this moment, the whistling Sword Qi fell straight down, bringing with it a brilliant golden light from the sky. Ancestor Han Tian raised his head and looked up. His eyes stung as he felt a Sword Will of the Great Dao lock onto him. This Sword Will made his heart twitch, and his expression changed drastically.
Wisps of gray air rose up and circled around Ancestor Han Tian's body. Behind him, a dazzling Emperor's Halo of the Great Path bloomed. Rolling Emperor's Halo of True Meaning flowed. He roared and raised his hand to strike at the sky.
Buzz!
A huge Sky Burying Stele condensed under his palm. It was surrounded by Runes of the Great Path and emitted a surging Curse Qi. It pierced through the space and smashed towards the Sword Qi.
The golden Sword Qi tore through the air. As it fell, it was reinforced by the force of the Great Dao. The sharp light sank into the radiance of the curse. At this moment, a deafening explosion sounded out from Heaven Shaking City. Countless people looked up and saw the Sky Burying Monument shattering into pieces. It was pierced by the Sword Qi and turned into dust.
"What?"
Many of the Gui Clan members were shocked. One sword had broken the Rule Will of the Great Path of their clan's Patriarch. Was the person who did this so powerful?
Including Cang Yao, all the Gui Clan martial artists in the city were stunned.
However, the sword was not over yet.
The golden Sword Qi pierced through the Sky Burying Stele, and its momentum did not diminish. It continued to fall towards Old Ancestor Hantian. At this moment, Old Ancestor Hantian was shocked. He roared and condensed an Emperor's Art in his palms. Several huge Steles condensed and circled around him. Then, they blasted towards the Sword Qi at the same time. Waves of Curse Qi burst out one after another, barely stopping the Sword Qi from falling.
"Who is it?"
Old Ancestor Hantian asked in shock. He looked around the city carefully, but he could not sense the location of the person who attacked.
"The Mourner."
A cold voice came from the sky. The clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, revealing a figure.
Countless pairs of eyes focused on the figure. The figure was surrounded by the light of swordsmanship, and his face could not be seen clearly. However, he gave off a feeling of supremacy. Even from afar, one could feel his aura.
Cang Yao also looked at the horizon, his pupils gradually constricting. The figure in the light of the sword path gave him a sense of familiarity. He had an impression of someone who seemed to match this figure.
However, Cang Yao absolutely did not think that it would be the same.
After all, this person had broken the Ancestor's Law Dao Might with a single sword strike, and his cultivation was so formidable that it was like the difference between the heavens and the earth when compared to his impression of that person.
"The Old Man has been burying the heroes of the East Continent for his entire life. Today is the first time someone has come to bury me."
Ancestor Han Tian laughed coldly as if he was listening to a joke.
The other party did indeed give him a sense of pressure, but he probably didn't have the ability to kill him here.
It was too easy for Old Ancestor Han Tian to leave. Even Du Hai couldn't stop him.
Wuque didn't say anything more. His emperor's will radiated outwards, enveloping the entire Heaven Shaking City and extending towards the entire island. It was as though he was going to seal the entire island within his emperor's will, making him the absolute ruler of this island.
Buzz!
The flawless Emperor's Soul merged with the Heavenly Way's momentum, and a majestic light of the sword path shone on Wuque's body. He pointed his finger downwards and said, "Defend."
Sword Defense Calamity.
Then, strands of pure golden sword will gathered into golden divine swords that contained boundless flawless Dao Might. Many divine swords suddenly descended from the sky towards Ancestor Han Tian.
These divine swords didn't attack Ancestor Han Tian directly. Instead, they landed around him one after another, piercing into the void and forming a sword cage to seal him inside.
In an instant, the divine swords shone with a dazzling light, causing a resonance. A mighty aura of the heavens swept out, and with a buzz, a dazzling boundary of the sword path was formed, swallowing Ancestor Han Tian inside.
"Danger!"
Cang Yao's expression changed as he shouted.
In the next instant, he saw the scene that left the deepest impression in his life. Even though he had seen it in the God Burial Relic before and had experienced it personally, it was a completely different experience now.
Boundless sword radiance bloomed in the sky, and the sky was filled with sharp golden light shadows as though they had pierced through the heavens. The sword radiance was arranged according to the rules, and it was like a falling mountain, falling straight towards Ancestor Han Tian who was trapped in the sword cage.
It was the Ten Thousand Sword Heavenly Mountain.
"Shou Wuque."
Cang Yao couldn't help but call out Wuque's name. His face trembled violently as he watched the huge heavenly mountain fall. The boundless sword radiance seemed to have swallowed him as well.
How could this be?
In just 20 years, the Sword Cultivator from the Southern Region who was once on par with him had become so powerful today.
Now that his head was flawless, what cultivation level was he at?
Cang Yao was in a daze. The shock brought about by this scene was so intense that his thoughts stopped working.
However, at this moment, Ancestor Han Tian who was trapped in the sword cage truly felt the approach of death, and he erupted completely like a madman. Without any hesitation, his Emperor Soul entered his body, and his Dao Will merged with his body. He turned into a monster that was covered in pustules and carried a monument of death on his back.
The pustules on his body split open, and strands of disgusting liquid flowed out. Mixed with the power of the curse, it attempted to erode the sword cage's seal. The monument on his back was like a heavy coffin, and it pressed down on his body until it was deformed. As the power of the curse grew stronger, he suffered a greater backlash.
However, Ancestor Han Tian didn't care about this at all. He only knew that if he didn't break the seal as soon as possible, once the falling sword mountains pierced into the sword cage, he would die without a doubt once his soul was destroyed.
What made him despair was that no matter how much he struggled, even if he used the limits of his laws, the moment the death liquid that contained the curse touched the light of the sword cage, it would immediately emit smoke and dissipate. He had a feeling that today, he was not fighting against a human, but against the Heavenly Dao.
A powerful figure in the Exceptional Emperor Realm of True Self who could summon the wind and rain in the East Sea was completely desperate at this moment.
"No!"
A heart-wrenching cry spread throughout the entire ancestral land of Han Tian and resounded in every corner.
Then, the Tianyue Sword Formation pierced through the sword cage, and Ancestor Han Tian's aura slowly dissipated in the sword light.
"Are you desperate?
I was more desperate than you are today, but I never compromised with death. "
In the sky full of sword light, Ancestor Han Tian's ugly body slowly disintegrated. At the moment of his death, a figure appeared in front of him.
It was a young man with flowing white hair and strong facial features, giving people a natural sense of majesty. In front of this young man, it seemed that everything would be inferior.
His face changed, but Dendi's temperament couldn't be changed.
"Save me … save …" Ancestor Han Tian's hand reached out to grab Qin Hao. Almost as soon as he reached out, his tattered body was torn into nothingness by a turbulent sword whirlwind and completely disappeared from Qin Hao's sight.
Qin Hao looked at all this without feeling anything. When he was trapped in the Nine Heaven God-killing Formation, he had sworn that if he survived, he would make the person who attacked him pay back a hundredfold. At that time, the resentment in his heart surpassed everything.
However, when it came to revenge, he didn't feel anything when he saw those who had harmed him die one by one in front of him. Unknowingly, perhaps even Qin Hao himself didn't realize that his state of mind had long surpassed that of his previous life's Dendi.
"Trash."
Slowly pulling up his hood, Qin Hao ignored the impact of the sword light and left the sword cage in a flash with the Fleetfoot Steps.
