At this moment, the Sword Ancestor stared blankly at Qin Chen, his eyes wide open.
What... did he just see?
This kid has reached such a level of cultivation?
How long has it been?
Recalling the last time he met Qin Chen, he hadn't even reached the supreme level, but now, he was already faintly touching half-step transcendence.
“Senior Sword Ancestor,” at this time, the Carefree Supreme also stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.
One was the current ruler of the human race, and the other was a top expert from the ancient human race; naturally, they had interacted before.
In fact, back in the day, the Carefree Supreme had also visited the Sword Tomb and learned some secrets.
“You all...” the Sword Ancestor sighed, “As expected, this generation of the human race is more powerful than we imagined, with each generation pushing the previous one forward.”
His sigh was also filled with comfort.
Isn't this what they had longed for back then?
“Senior Sword Ancestor, we have come this time to rescue you,” Qin Chen stepped forward and said.
He looked at the vast abyss before him.
In the endless darkness, one corpse after another sat cross-legged, buried with bronze coffins, all exuding a terrifying aura. These corpses were top experts wielding swords, every one of them a respected realm powerhouse, who had died billions of years ago yet still guarded the abyss.
And those bronze coffins were even more terrifying, with astonishing auras emanating from them.
It was time to let these elders rest.
“What you mean is...” the Sword Ancestor was excited.
“Senior Sword Ancestor, the universe is now at peace. The Demon Tribe has been defeated, the Yuanmo Ancestor has fled to the Underworld, and the human race has become the leader of this universe,” the Carefree Supreme said with a smile. “So, you can leave now.”
The Sword Ancestor was shocked: “So, the previous transcendence aura was actually you all…”
The Carefree Supreme chuckled, “The Yuanmo Ancestor colluded with the Dark Clan, provoking the arrival of the Black Demon Ancestor Emperor to disrespect the human race, but was killed by that mysterious expert in the Void Sea. The Dark Ancestor also retreated; now the universe is peaceful.”
“Mysterious expert in the Void Sea?”
The Sword Ancestor trembled. “That Void Sea, back in the day, we tried to explore it, but it's so mysterious that even we couldn't easily invade. We knew the dangers within, so we left after some slight probing. Who would have thought there was actually a mysterious powerhouse within?”
The Sword Ancestor's expression was agitated: “This person was able to kill the Black Demon Ancestor Emperor of the Dark Clan and also repel the Dark Ancestor. At the very least, they must be a transcendent expert. How could we not know about such a top powerhouse among our human race?”
The Carefree Supreme laughed, “Senior Sword Ancestor, this person is not one of our human race's strong ones but a powerful being from the cosmic sea, trapped in this universe...” The Carefree Supreme glanced at Qin Chen, “Speaking of which, it’s thanks to Qin Chen that this powerful being was willing to intervene.”
“Thanks to Qin Chen?” The Sword Ancestor looked at Qin Chen in astonishment.
The Carefree Supreme smiled slightly, “Alright, Senior Sword Ancestor, let's deal with that Dark Royal Family fellow first, so we can free you.”
“Exactly.” Qin Chen smiled slightly.
“Good.”
The Sword Ancestor laughed heartily, and with a loud bang, his body, which had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly straightened. His hands swept toward the sky, and countless terrifying lights instantly erupted in the endless firmament.
Boom, boom, boom! Countless sword intents shot into the sky, and in an instant, a myriad of swords emerged from deep within the abyss.
This was the myriad sword power that the Heaven-Piercing Sword Pavilion had condensed to seal Lord Indra years ago, and now it erupted in an instant. When these myriad swords ascended into the sky, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from below the abyss.
