Chapter 189: Sword Sovereign vs. Demon Ancestor
As Xuantian Yi reeled in shock, the other Grandmasters turned their gazes toward the horizon.
The overwhelming demonic aura of the Demon Ancestor was approaching rapidly. They no longer had the luxury to worry about internal affairs within the Three Dynasties. The battle ahead would be a fight to the death.
A figure suddenly appeared beside Liang Canghai. This man wore a blue Daoist robe, exuding an air of elegance and detachment. His hair was streaked with black and white, and his brows carried a worldly indifference as if he had seen through all mortal affairs.
As soon as he arrived, the others immediately saluted him.
Xuantian Yi withdrew his thoughts and warily observed the newcomer.@@@@
This man was none other than the Dao Lord of Cang Heaven Sect!
One of the three Grand Ascension Stage cultivators of the Three Dynasties. Now that the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path was recognized as an existence beyond the Grand Ascension Stage, only Xuantian Yi and the Dao Lord remained at this level.
The two rarely met, as they were each responsible for overseeing a different battlefield.
Liang Canghai turned to the Dao Lord and respectfully asked, “Master, can you discern the Demon Ancestor’s cultivation level?”
The others also looked at the Dao Lord, their expressions tense.
The Dao Lord replied, “Immortal Dao Realm. As for the exact stage, even I do not know. But one thing is certain—we are no match for him, even if we join forces.”
His voice was soft, yet his words struck like a hammer against their hearts, making their faces pale.
A fight to the death!
These words had always been spoken lightly in the past, but now, facing an invincible enemy, fear inevitably crept into their hearts.
“Even if we can’t defeat him, we must hold him back until the Sword Sovereign arrives,” Xuantian Yi said, his tone carefree and fearless, even carrying a hint of laughter.
As soon as he spoke, hope reignited in the eyes of the Grandmasters.
One of them couldn’t help but ask, “Will the Sword Sovereign really come? For so many years, he has only made a move within Taixuan Sect. He might not even be from the Taixuan Sect but instead someone from overseas who cultivated in secrecy there. He may not want to interfere in the power struggles of the continent and only acts when someone provokes him directly.”
These words caused the others to waver once again.
Xuantian Yi raised his hand, and a blue lotus bloomed in his palm. Gazing ahead, he said, “There’s no need to think too much. Trust the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path. Trust the Taixuan Sect. If the Sword Sovereign truly had nothing to do with the Taixuan Sect, then the words ‘Righteous Path’ wouldn’t be inscribed upon the Heavenly Mending Platform.”
Boom!
An overwhelming pressure erupted from his body, shattering the ground beneath his feet. Demonic energy coiled around him, merging seamlessly with the vast mist behind him. Within that mist, countless demonic beast phantoms writhed, making it seem as if he was leading the entire demon race forward.
The sheer magnitude of his presence startled Xuantian Yi, the Dao Lord, and the others in the distant Three Dynasties region.
The people of the Three Dynasties were also paralyzed with fear.
The Taixuan Sect, still recovering from the recent calamity caused by Lin Jingtian, was once again plunged into silence.
Yet this time, the disciples did not cower in terror.
Instead, they eagerly anticipated what would happen next.
Lu Lingjun turned her gaze toward the window, her brows furrowed. “That should be the Demon Ancestor’s aura... It’s terrifying. I wonder if the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path will act this time. No other cultivator can withstand such demonic energy.”
Gu An feigned confusion and asked, “Is the Demon Ancestor really that strong? Even Xuantian Yi can’t stop him?”
Lu Lingjun shot him a glare and retorted, “Do you think your sworn brother is invincible? He’s still far from the level of the Sword Sovereign.”
Gu An almost wanted to proclaim, My second brother is invincible! But he held his tongue.
He sighed and muttered, “When will this era of calamities end? Why is it so hard to live a peaceful life?”
Lu Lingjun laughed. “Haven’t you had enough peace? It’s not like you need to fight.”
“But how can I be at ease when you all risk your lives?” Gu An said seriously.
Seeing the sincerity in his expression, Lu Lingjun suddenly felt guilty.
Gu An might not fight on the battlefield, but everyone around him had benefited from his herbs and elixirs. His contributions were no less significant than those of the warriors themselves.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Lingjun reassured him, “Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon. It all depends on the battle between the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path and the Demon Ancestor.”
Gu An nodded. “Let’s go down and reassure the disciples. In times like these, we must stand united.”
His divine sense could already detect that the Demon Ancestor was drawing closer to the northern border.
A decisive battle was imminent.
