“Who is cultivating in the Eerie Abyss?”
The Old Ancestors of the Cloud Sword Sect, Ancient Chen Family, and Ancient Luo Family each sent a wisp of their Divine Sense to probe the Eerie Abyss.
They only detected a single figure cultivating within the Eerie Abyss. However, they couldn't discern if it was male or female, nor could they gauge its strength!
Soon after, an Old Ancestor from the Ji Family was also alerted. The Old Ancestors of the four major powers gathered.
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor questioned, “I recall we previously probed the Eerie Abyss's interior, and there was no one inside!”
The Ancient Chen Family Old Ancestor scoffed, “Could someone truly have entered this Eerie Abyss right under our noses?”
The Old Ancestors from the other two factions shook their heads, equally clueless.
They were stationed here under orders, with the Eerie Abyss as their primary objective to guard. It contained vast amounts of Eerie Power, crucial for their clans' cultivation!
With the Sikong Family annihilated, this place had become unclaimed territory! Thus, the four Supreme-tier powers of the Eastern Wilds had already carved it up. Furthermore, several Old Ancestors from their respective clans were already en route, preparing to cultivate here.
At this thought, the Ancient Chen Family Old Ancestor's face twisted into a sneer. “Since it's not one of ours, daring to trespass and cultivate here is simply courting death!”
The other Old Ancestors nodded in agreement. “Kill them!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Several Old Ancestors soared into the sky, tearing through the void as they arrived above the Eerie Abyss.
At this moment, an impossibly vast black vortex had materialized directly above the Eerie Abyss, like raging tides sweeping across the firmament. Eerie Power surged, manifesting a heaven-reaching Momentum.
All the Eerie Power within the abyss converged towards Xuanji Holy Lord's location, being consumed at an astonishing rate!
Moreover, within the black vortex, countless profound Dao Patterns flickered, imbued with an indescribable Qi Mechanism.
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor's expression turned grave. “Look! The speed at which this person cultivates with Eerie Power is simply too fast! It rivals our sect's foundational cultivation technique!”
The Ancient Chen Family Old Ancestor shook his head lightly. “More than that! The grade of this cultivation technique is far too high; our clan's techniques couldn't possibly devour this much Eerie Power!”
The Ji Family Old Ancestor extended his Divine Sense, carefully probing the flow of Eerie Power within the abyss. A moment later, his eyes widened in shock. “I dare say, even our clan's strongest Old Ancestor, Ji Yue Old Ancestor, never caused such terrifying phenomena during his cultivation.”
At his words, the eyes of the other Old Ancestors burned with fervent desire. They all knew this had to be a heaven-defying cultivation technique! They absolutely had to obtain it!
Soon, the Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor looked down into the abyss and spoke in a deep voice, “What petty thief dares to cultivate within the territory of our four great powers? Come out at once...”
Before he could finish, Xuanji Holy Lord's icy voice cut him off. “Scram!”
The Old Ancestors' faces instantly turned ashen with fury. One snarled, “On our territory, you dare to be so arrogant?”
“Normally in the Eastern Wilds, any one of our Supreme-tier powers walks wherever it pleases. Today, with four great powers gathered, you actually tell us to scram?! What immense prestige you possess!”
“Who gave you such audacity?”
As his voice fell, the Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor soared into the sky, positioning himself directly above the black vortex, and immediately attacked. With a thought, a sharp Spirit Sword shot skyward, its sword qi drawing forth Heaven-reaching Spiritual Energy, manifesting a brilliant white rainbow in the air.
Momentum! This Spirit Sword contained a powerful Momentum! Ever since the Cloud Sword Sect's founder, Qingyun Old Ancestor, ascended, leaving behind the Qingyun Sword Dao, all sword cultivators in the Cloud Sword Sect could comprehend that Qingyun's Stance!
“Go!” the Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor snorted coldly. His Spirit Sword shot directly into the Eerie Abyss. Wherever it passed, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, the void was torn open, leaving a path of sword qi!
But suddenly, a single strand of Xuanji Holy Lord's white hair shot out. This strand of white hair was like a divine weapon, manifesting numerous Dao Patterns as it streaked directly towards the Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor's Spirit Sword.
Boom! The white hair and the Spirit Sword collided directly. Crack! In less than a breath, the Quasi-Dao Supreme Spirit Sword shattered into countless fragments, raining down. Meanwhile, Xuanji Holy Lord's single strand of white hair, imbued with heaven-reaching Momentum, continued its deadly assault.
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor's face changed, and he tried to retreat, but it was too late. Whoosh! A single strand of white hair, three thousand zhang long, gleamed with a chilling light, piercing directly through his glabella. Blood splattered! An instant kill! The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor's corpse plummeted from the void!
Witnessing this, the other Old Ancestors' expressions grew even darker. One roared, “Not only do you cultivate on our territory, but you dare to kill?!”
“Attack together!”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Xuanji Holy Lord's white hair billowed. Several more strands shot forth, manifesting Dao and Momentum, their Eerie Power reaching the heavens, illuminating the void. Like a surging white river, they churned through the air, slashing towards the Old Ancestors.
Seeing this, the Ji Family Old Ancestor's face contorted into a snarl. “What utter gall!”
“The few of us have joined forces, yet you don't even deign to show your true form?”
They felt profoundly humiliated! Though they weren't top-tier Quasi-Dao Supremes, for them to have allied for so long and still be unable to force this woman's true body to appear? She clearly didn't consider them worth her time!
The Ji Family Old Ancestor declared coldly, “I'd like to see just who you think you are!”
The Old Ancestors of the four powers attacked in unison. “Heaven-Severing Finger!” “Qingyun Sword Art!” “Luoshen Art!” “Cangkong Imperial Spirit Art!”
Instantly, four entirely different powers ignited simultaneously in the void. Heaven-reaching Spiritual Energy converged like a storm, and the bodies of the several Quasi-Dao Supreme Old Ancestors shone with dazzling divine radiance, like colossal suns, forming a stark contrast with the black vortex.
Four terrifying attacks rained down like a furious tempest!
Xuanji Holy Lord still did not appear. Her few strands of white hair once again bloomed with divine light, and four distinct powers surged forth: Scripture of Silence, Xuanji's Art, Grand Dao Scripture, and Dao of Eerie Scripture!
These four powers fused together. Though not perfectly balanced, their combined might was utterly destructive!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The white hair, acting as a divine weapon, directly annihilated the foundational cultivation techniques the Old Ancestors prided themselves on. In but an instant, their combined assault was shattered!
“Flee!” The Ji Family Old Ancestor's face instantly contorted in terror, and he tried to tear open the void to escape. But it was useless! The sharp white hair, like a surging river, shot forth and pierced directly through his body.
The Old Ancestors of the Cloud Sword Sect, Ancient Chen Family, and Ancient Luo Family were likewise pierced through by the white hair! They couldn't resist it at all!
The Cloud Sword Sect Old Ancestor crushed the Communication Jade Slips in his hand, his face etched with despair as he glared at the Eerie Abyss. “My Cloud Sword Sect's forces are about to descend! You'll die a horrible death...” Before he could finish, his breath caught, and he expired.
The other Old Ancestors also instantly perished!
Just then, above the Eerie Abyss, space tore open! “Boom!” “Crack!” A furious roar echoed forth. “Who dares to kill my Cloud Sword Sect's people?!”
