Venerable! At this moment, seeing the countless corpses at the bottom of the Burial Sword Abyss, several Venerables felt their scalps tingle, and their souls trembled.
These were all Venerable experts, the weakest among them being a Human Venerable, and among them were some corpses that even made the Extinction Star Venerable feel a sense of dread, as if their souls were about to explode.
This filled them with horror, making their hair stand on end and their hands and feet cold.
These individuals had been dead for many years, yet they still exuded an aura that intimidated them. How strong must they have been in life?
They could not have been ordinary Human Venerables; at the very least, they were top figures among Human Venerables, or even stronger.
There was not just one corpse above the Human Venerable level, but many, all of which had turned cold. Even if their physical bodies were indestructible for eternity, they still emitted a decaying aura.
One after another, they radiated a terrifying aura, like gods and demons; these top experts had all died here! The backs of the several Venerables were chilled, their bodies covered in goosebumps, and their scalps felt tight.
Between these Venerable corpses and coffins sat an old man, leaning on a sharp sword, who had been meditating for many years. Yet at this moment, he emitted an aura of decay, corruption, and cold desolation.
What astonished everyone was that they could still sense a trace of life emanating from this corpse.
This was impossible! The several Venerables were greatly shocked; they had previously sensed and calculated that this corpse had no life aura at all. But now, life aura was spreading, making their hair stand on end, their scalps feel like they were about to explode, and their bodies tremble violently.
A chilling sensation surged from head to toe, causing goosebumps to rise.
How could this be possible?
From the clothing and aura of the figure, he was at least a powerful being from the Ancient Era, far older than Zhuge Rulong and Qing Xue Gu Hua present.
How could such a powerful figure maintain himself until now after sitting in meditation?
Even like the Ancient Soul Demon Venerable, who retained a soul, it was merely a remnant soul and could not possibly have any life aura.
At this moment, everyone felt that from this ancient body, a terrifying devouring power was being radiated. It was the same terrifying devouring power that had been pulling them down, and with its inhaling and exhaling, the black mist in the Burial Sword Abyss was rising and falling, the endless sword intent black mist seeming to rise and fall with the breath of this corpse.
How could this happen?
A mere corpse was conveying a breathing sensation, and moreover, the aura around him was extremely cold, with waves of chilling aura swirling around him, making him appear like a demon god, too cold and resembling a member of the Demon Tribe.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that his skin was dark, with signs of corrosion everywhere. The decaying, aged, and rotten power spread, his hair white and sparse, truly resembling a dried corpse.
The several Venerables lost their composure, completely unable to stay calm. They struggled desperately.
But under this trembling force, they found themselves unable to move.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Several Venerables questioned in low voices, because the aura on this person was too strange, clearly infused with sharp sword intent, yet there was a sinister, gray, decayed power spreading out, and this power was exceedingly cold, truly resembling the power of the Demon Tribe.
Could this old man be a master of the Demon Tribe?
All around, countless Venerable corpses surrounded the old man, with coffins arranged like a tomb altar, trapping the old man in the center. Countless decayed corpses were present, with sword energy swirling, forming a tragic scene.
"I am merely a failure who fell on the path of cultivation, nothing more."
Accompanied by weakness and decay, a voice emerged from the old man's mouth: "Perhaps you can call me the Sword Ancestor!"
