Chapter 3719: The Sword Heart Ancestor
After the three attacks, the glowing sword Qi did not continue. It was as if it only did this to teach a lesson to the Immortal Exalts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants and did not plan on killing the Space-splitting Venerable.
The sword Qi hovered above the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. As its glow died down, it turned into an old man in coarse clothes.
The old man seemed like he was already past his sixties, but he still radiated with vigour, giving off a healthy glow. His upright figure seemed like a sword, radiating with a sharpness that seemed to pierce the world.
In particular, dense sword Qi gathered around him. Each strand of sword Qi was only the size of a tadpole. At this moment, they were like cheerful spirits, circling around the old man rapidly with a certain sharpness.
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens saved many organisations of the Immortals’ World in the past. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens played a critical role in why the lot of you could survive the war. If it weren’t for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the lot of you wouldn’t even know if you would still be alive right now, yet you actually want to destroy the foundations of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. That is truly a heinous crime. You cannot be forgiven.” At this moment, the old man spoke up. His voice was stern, filled with undisguised fury.
With that, he suddenly looked towards ancestor Ling who had already fled into the distance with a face of fear and fright. Then he extended his hand towards him gently.
A strand of sword Qi shot over, and the Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt ancestor Ling immediately paled. With a grunt, his arms were thrown high into the air. Blood sprayed across the sky.
In just a single move, ancestor Ling had lost both of his arms, unable to fight back at all.
“The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is colluding with a mysterious organisation and has annihilated a million of my clansmen. Sword Heart, is your Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords planning on stopping our revenge?” At this moment, the Space-splitting Venerable flew over from afar. His chest had already been dyed red by blood, staring at the old man with a pale face as his eyes were filled with intense hatred.
His venomous gaze made it seem like he wanted to skin this old man alive. Meanwhile, the old man radiated with sword intent and stood like a divine sword.
Clearly, the grudge between them ran deep.
The other ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants also looked at the old man as their faces became ugly.
They had already recognised him. He was one of the ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords from the twelve courts of heaven, Sword Heart!
However, they could all sense that compared to the past, the Sword Heart Ancestor had clearly become even stronger.
As for exactly how powerful he had become, none of them had the slightest idea.
“Nonsense. You don’t even have evidence that connects the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to the destruction of your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Even if they were connected, so what? Do you really think that no one is aware of what you’ve done to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens over the years? Even if the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens actually destroyed your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, that would be perfectly justifiable,” the Sword Heart Ancestor said coldly.
“Sword Heart, are you saying that only the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is allowed to destroy our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, but our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is not allowed to destroy the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?” the Space-splitting Venerable said coldly as he repressed his raging fury.
“That’s right! That’s exactly it!” The Sword Heart Ancestor stood extremely straight as the sword Qi flickered around him. He stood extremely proudly.
“Our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords can ignore how your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants oppressed the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. However, if you want to destroy the foundations of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and paint a layer of humiliation to this sacred land that the entire Immortals’ World owes a colossal favour to, then our Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords will be the first one to disagree,” the Sword Heart Ancestor continued. His voice was filled with resolve.
“In other words, your Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords wants to make an enemy out of the remnants of the Daemons’ World?” The Space-splitting Venerable’s voice seemed to originate from the depths of hell. It was chilling.
Their Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had stood supreme on the Reverent Observance Heaven for a very long time now. It had been many years since he was last provoked like this. Now, he had been made a fool of in front of countless experts of the Reverent Observance Heaven, which left him humiliated.
“Hmph, your measly Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants still hasn’t reached the point where you represent the Daemons’ World!” the Sword Heart Ancestor said coldly. With that, a destructive presence erupted from the Sword Heart Ancestor, crushing down on the Space-splitting Venerable with tremendous force.
The Space-splitting Venerable’s face immediately changed drastically as he stumbled backwards. His gaze was extremely mixed, subconsciously crying out, “Y-you actually overcame the shackles and reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer!”
The Space-splitting Venerable was filled with mixed feelings. He had already reached the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer many years ago, only a step away from the Eighth Heavenly Layer, but it was possible for him to never take that step in his life.
At his realm of cultivation, each breakthrough was no longer determined by arduous cultivation and talent alone. It also required good fortune and rare opportunities.
If he did not have the required fate, then even if he remained at his current cultivation for a million, ten million, or even a hundred million years, he would not be able to advance, not even by a tiny step.
He was clearly just a step away from the Eighth Heavenly Layer, but without sufficient good fortune, he was not guaranteed to take this tiny step even if he had a hundred million years.
At this moment, not only was the Space-splitting Venerable stunned, but the countless experts on the Reverent Observance Heaven were greatly shocked as well.
Jiang Pingtian and the Master of Fire Virtue who were also at the Seventh Heavenly Layer in the Observance Heaven City were filled with mixed emotions and envy.
That was because even they themselves did not know whether they were fated to reach the Eighth Heavenly Layer or not.
“It’s not the Eighth Heavenly Layer. It’s half a step into the Eighth Heavenly Layer at most, but it’s enough to stop your Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants,” the Sword Heart Ancestor said.
“It’s not the true Eighth Heavenly Layer, but you’ve still overcome that obstacle. You only need a few more centuries of nurturing to consolidate your cultivation.” The Space-splitting Venerable was melancholic. It had a very great impact on him.
“Back down. With me around, you can’t touch the foundations of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens,” the Sword Heart Ancestor said with a wave of his hand. He clearly had qualms as well, afraid to kill the seven ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. He was only teaching them a small lesson at most.
“Hehehehe, didn’t your Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords stop interfering with the matters of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens a long time ago? Why did you decide to stick your nose in this business again today?” At this moment, a laugh that resembled wind chimes rang out. Shortly afterwards, a spatial crack opened up behind the Space-splitting Venerable as a young lady in a fiery-red dress walked out.
The lady only seemed to be twenty years of age. She possessed alluring beauty and a flawless face. She could easily enchant any immortal in the world.
However, beneath her almost perfect outer appearance hid destructive strength. The Laws of Fire wrapped around her. Her presence was so powerful that it was even heftier than the Space-splitting Venerable’s presence.
The Sacred Beast clan was led by the four imperial clans, the Azure Dragon clan, the White Tiger clan, the Vermillion Bird clan, and the Black Tortoise clan.
The lady originated from one of the four imperial clans of the Sacred Beast clan, the Vermillion Bird clan.
“Little Sword Heart, out of the Immortal Sect of Myriad Swords, you hold the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the highest light. In order to protect the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in the past, you were forcefully beaten to the point where you were heavily injured by the big brother from the Azure Dragon clan. Now that so many years have passed, have you forgotten about the pain? Or should I say you think you can do as you please now that you’ve broken through?” The lady giggled. She seemed very sweet; she spoke very gently, but everyone could clearly sense the coldness hidden behind her words.
