Martial Master

"Is that so?" Xiu Chengze and the others were shocked.

Despite their seemingly effortless arrival here without encountering any troubles, it was because they came from the Heavenly Realm, their cultivation profound and their strength overwhelming, allowing them to discern most dangers.

If an ordinary expert from the Earth Level came here, it would have been impossible to be so easy; they might not even reach this place.

But now, Shangguan Xi'er actually said that a mere Martial Emperor had been here before. Was she joking?

"I wouldn't dare to speak nonsense. My junior friend once was the most outstanding genius of the Tianwu Continent, with extraordinary talent. He indeed came here back then and mentioned that deep within this forbidden area, there is a mountain peak, and within that mountain peak, there are ruins. He had entered those ruins before."

Shangguan Xi'er didn’t dare to hold back, knowing that this matter concerned life and death.

"A mountain peak?"

Ling Luling and the others looked up; in the distance, the sky was hazy and desolate. With their divine senses, they couldn't peer too far, and they couldn't see any mountain peaks at all.

However, they did not think Shangguan Xi'er was lying, because as long as they entered and did not see a mountain peak, the lie would naturally be exposed. Even if she were to fabricate a story, she wouldn't invent something like this.

Could it be true that a Martial Emperor could come here?

"Interesting, let’s continue to follow us." Ling Luling looked at Shangguan Xi'er with a half-smile, sensing that she might have already seen through her thoughts.

But what could be done about it?

In Ling Luling's eyes, Shangguan Xi'er was merely an ant from the lower realm, easily crushed without causing any waves.

The group continued to proceed cautiously.

Crash! Suddenly, someone seemed to step on something.

Boom! A towering aura surged into the sky, and from the ground, a decayed long strip transformed into an immortal sword. This immortal sword exuded a terrifying aura that shocked Ling Luling and the others, causing their entire bodies to stand on end, as if their souls were captured and they felt cold all over.

The aura from this immortal sword actually surpassed them; it was a sacred artifact, containing terrifying rules of the Sacred Realm, fiercely slashing towards the group.

"The aura of a Earth Saint level expert."

Ling Luling and the others were astonished, roaring in panic, their faces trembling with fear.

The aura emanating from this immortal sword was indeed at the Earth Saint level; under this sword, someone would surely perish.

"Everyone, work together."

In their panic, the few of them unleashed unprecedented strength in this critical moment. With a loud boom, they struck the immortal sword together, simultaneously retreating rapidly.

With a bang, an unbelievable scene occurred; the immortal sword imbued with Earth Saint aura was actually exploded, directly shattering into nothingness.

"What’s going on?"

The group was puzzled; the aura of this immortal sword was indeed at the Earth Saint level, but why was it shattered by their combined strike?

Looking down, they saw that there was a skeletal remains on the ground, which had been weathered for countless years, almost turned to sand and stone. Under the assault of the group, it shattered into fragments, leaving behind a dissipating Law aura.

The long strip that had transformed into the immortal sword also broke, decayed beyond recognition.

"It’s the remains of an ancient Earth Saint expert."

Ling Luling and the others gasped.

An Earth Saint expert, it wouldn’t be unusual for their remains to endure for thousands of years after their fall, but here, it had weathered to such an extent, leaving only a trace of a lingering Law aura, activated by their unintentional actions, triggering an attack.

"This person was fighting to the death before dying, their will was immersed in slaughter; otherwise, they wouldn't still be able to unleash such killing intent after death."
