The Cloaked Man Venerable actually activated the Forbidden Heaven Mirror directly, suppressing Qin Chen's Ten Thousand Sword River.
"What kind of treasure is this?
A treasure of the pinnacle heaven venerable?!"
Qin Chen's heart sank; to be able to suppress his Ten Thousand Sword River, this treasure was too exaggerated.
No, this item should not yet be a treasure of the pinnacle heaven venerable; like his Ten Thousand Sword River, it was a top-tier heaven venerable treasure.
Qin Chen focused carefully and finally saw some clues.
The reason the Forbidden Heaven Mirror could suppress the Ten Thousand Sword River had two reasons.
The first was that the Cloaked Man Venerable was a true heaven venerable, possessing heaven venerable power, while he was merely an earth venerable. Although he had chaos power, he had not reached the comprehension of a heaven venerable, and there was a gap between them.
Moreover, only heaven venerable experts could truly unleash the power of heaven venerable treasures. It was not just talk; the earth venerable power faced many issues in activating heaven venerable treasures. This was also why Qin Chen could activate the Ten Thousand Sword River, as his strength was formidable. If another earth venerable were to come, not to mention an earth venerable, even a half-step heaven venerable would not be able to activate the Ten Thousand Sword River at all.
That was the first reason.
The second reason was that the Forbidden Heaven Mirror was a specialized confinement treasure.
"This item can confine the void and is somewhat similar to the Sea Clan's Deep Sea Cube; it's a specialized sealing-type treasure. It can even suppress my source of time, and my Ten Thousand Sword River, aside from its sealing effect, also has attack and defense capabilities.
Furthermore, this item contains traces of demonic aura. It is evident that under the catalysis of dark power, this item can unleash its full power. Combined with the two, it can naturally exert some suppression over my Ten Thousand Sword River."
Qin Chen's mind whirled as he instantly grasped the situation.
"No matter what means you use, you will not escape death from my hands."
Boom! The rolling chaos aura surged within Qin Chen, containing a trace of primordial chaos source power. In an instant, the golden light of the Ten Thousand Sword River shot out, and his aura suddenly surged. Millions of sword qi clashed madly with the confined void, producing a harsh cracking sound.
"Qin Chen, today, either you die, or I perish."
The Cloaked Man Venerable's eyes flashed with fierce light. His body trembled as he stepped forward, and a phantom of the demonic sword appeared in his palm, unleashing tens of thousands of sword qi that coalesced into an overwhelming true form of sword light. The sword qi surged violently, as if the sword body had descended, with thick sword path laws surrounding him.
Each of these sword path laws was incredibly large, terrifyingly so, and they radiated an aura of supremacy. Within them, countless sword intents permeated, giving the sword path laws a momentum that seemed to transform heaven and earth into a battle sword.
This Cloaked Man Venerable was a sword道 (dao) expert, and the sword represented dominance and power.
"It is the Blade Perception Venerable!"
"The Vice Hall Master of Blade Perception!"
At that moment, the elder Black Feather and others, lying there on the verge of death and unable to move, were all astonished in their hearts upon seeing such overwhelming power erupt from the Cloaked Man Venerable.
There were many sword道 (dao) experts in Tian Gong, and even among the eight vice hall masters, there were several who could wield sword path rules. However, only one person could unleash such terrifying sword道 (dao) techniques before their eyes.
That was the Blade Perception Venerable among the eight active vice hall masters.
"Blade Perception Venerable?"
Qin Chen's eyes flashed. Although he had never seen all eight heaven venerables of Tian Gong, he was aware of the names and renowned techniques of every active vice hall master. The Blade Perception Venerable was known for his mastery of the sword, and the person before him was very likely the Blade Perception Venerable.
