**Sword Tomb Forbidden Area.**
Qin Chen stepped inside.
Indeed, Qin Chen's purpose for coming here was the Sword Tomb.
Back then, he had ventured into the Sword-Piercing Sword Pavilion's Sword Burial Abyss Forbidden Area and was hunted by powerful figures like the Star Extinguishing Venerable. Ultimately, the two great masters, Sword Ancestor and Sword Demon, intervened, annihilating the avatars of the Star God Palace Master, and using the powers of the Star Extinguishing Venerable, Celestial Fire Sage, and Ancestor Qingxue to suppress the Ruler of the Dark Clan deep within the forbidden area.
To protect the heavenly realm and the human world, the Celestial Fire Sage and others willingly stayed guard in this place.
The Sword Ancestor had once said that in no more than a hundred years, if Qin Chen did not return, the Celestial Fire Sage and the others would inevitably perish.
This matter had been etched in Qin Chen's heart, and now, in order to rescue the Celestial Fire Sage and the others, Qin Chen had come once again to the Sword Tomb Forbidden Area.
The Sword Tomb was one of the most terrifying forbidden areas in the Southern Heavenly Realm.
When Qin Chen first entered this place, danger lurked at every turn. Yet upon returning to the Sword Tomb, the terrifying and surging sword intent, the omnipresent sword energy, and the many swirling demon energies were unable to inflict the slightest harm upon Qin Chen.
“Boom!”
Step by step, Qin Chen walked into the Sword Tomb Forbidden Area, unleashing a terrifying aura, as if he were a god. Wherever he passed, the billions of sword energies within the Sword Tomb trembled and roared, as if welcoming their king.
Meanwhile, the countless demon energies retreated, not daring to approach Qin Chen in the slightest.
“This place is strange.”
The moment Qin Chen entered the Sword Tomb, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon revealed a voice of surprise.
This was because he sensed the special demonic energies contained within this Sword Tomb Forbidden Area.
“Power of the Dark Clan?”
A serious look came over the Primordial Ancestral Dragon’s face.
He had sensed the power of the Dark Clan before; back in the Myriad Divine Treasury, Shangguan Wan'er possessed the power of the Dark Clan.
In the Tian Gong's stronghold on the Myriad Races Battlefield, the traitor had also unleashed the power of the Dark Clan.
However, he had not taken those two instances seriously.
But upon entering the Sword Tomb, he grew solemn.
The power of the Dark Clan here was incredibly terrifying, even causing him a hint of dread.
“Master, this power, though extremely weak, in its peak state, is probably not inferior to us,” Blood River Saint Ancestor said in a deep voice as the power of blood surged, even as he spoke.
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon furrowed his brow and said, “In the human race's heavenly realm, there exists such a terrifying force?
Could it be that we sensed it wrong?”
“Haha.”
Qin Chen laughed, “You didn't sense it wrong. Here, a king of the Dark Clan is imprisoned.”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon and Blood River Saint Ancestor had been chaos beings in ancient times, at least pinnacle supreme existences. The dark power they had sensed previously, while unusual, had never been a cause for concern for them.
Yet now, in the Sword Tomb, their expressions became grave.
A king of the Dark Clan?
The two exchanged glances, suddenly understanding.
They also knew that the Dark Clan was a force from the outer regions of the cosmic sea that invaded the universe. Being able to invade this universe indicated an extraordinary power; thus, it was understandable.
“However, why does this dark power feel somewhat familiar?”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon remarked.
“Familiar?”
Qin Chen smiled.
“This dark invasion is a phenomenon that has only occurred in this era. How could you both feel familiar with it?”
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon and Blood River Saint Ancestor had been in slumber within the Myriad Divine Treasury since ancient times, so they shouldn't have had any contact with the Dark Clan.
