Boundless Old Ancestor? The Martial Ancestor Descends!

"Damn it!"

"Even if the presidents of the two merchant associations can't come, what about Senior Boundless?"

"What right does Northern Azure Spiritual Academy have to stop a Ninth Grade Sovereign!"

Black Dragon Sovereign was furious. He stared at Lu Chen before him with an icy expression, wishing he could tear this brat to pieces.

Meanwhile, Above the clouds nine heavens high over the Endless Sea, a blue-robed figure beyond the reach of the naked eye sped through the air like lightning. It seemed to pass directly through space itself, impossible to discern clearly. In the blink of an eye, it had already appeared tens of thousands of miles away.

Such speed was enough to leave even ordinary Sovereigns dumbfounded and hopelessly behind.

This Black Shadow was naturally none other than Boundless Old Ancestor. Although Boundless Continent was some distance from the Northern Azure Continent, at his speed, traveling from one continent to another would take only a dozen-odd minutes.

Suddenly, as the blue-robed figure streaked through space, the space ahead was torn apart, and an incomparably violent peal of thunder resounded.

Immediately afterward, endless lightning shattered the void and swept in from an unknown place, blasting the blue-robed figure out of space.

"What petty wretch dares launch a sneak attack on this ancestor?"

Boundless Old Ancestor retreated violently from space, and the layers of space behind him rapidly crumbled. Yet, worthy of being a Ninth Grade Sovereign, he quickly steadied himself.

With a sweep of his sleeve, surging black seawater swept forth and rapidly filled the heavens and earth. Staring at the void before him, he shouted sharply.

"Petty wretch? Boundless, you old bastard, it's been many years since we last met. Your mouth has certainly gotten a lot bigger—but I wonder how much your strength has improved?"

Rumble!

The space beyond the void tore open, as though a sea of lightning came roaring out from within it. Vast thunder resounded through the void.

Above the sea of lightning, a towering figure holding a thunder scepter stepped out of the void. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked indifferently at Boundless Old Ancestor, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

"Martial Ancestor?!"

Boundless Old Ancestor's expression changed drastically. Without a second thought, he turned and fled, his figure instantly transforming into a streak of blue light that vanished into space.

Seeing this, the Martial Ancestor snorted coldly. The Thunder Emperor Scepter in his hand erupted with dazzling lightning, and billions of bolts shot forth like chains of thunder, piercing through space and dragging Boundless Old Ancestor out of it, binding him before the Martial Ancestor.

"Spare me..."

"Lord Martial Ancestor, I was simply possessed by madness back then. I shouldn't have harbored improper thoughts toward your wife. Please, be magnanimous and spare this lowly one's life..."

Seeing that escape was no longer possible, Boundless Old Ancestor's face turned deathly pale. His body trembled uncontrollably as he stammered.

"All these years, I have led the people of the Martial Realm in resisting the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, leaving me unable to settle old grudges. I deeply regretted letting you escape from my hands back then."

"Who would have thought that, a few days ago, someone sent word to my Martial Realm that you, old bastard, would be appearing near the Northern Azure Continent soon? Tell me, isn't that quite a coincidence?"

The Martial Ancestor looked at Boundless Old Ancestor with a faint smile. His calm voice carried a dense killing intent. It had not been easy for him and Qing Zhu to finally be together.

Yet this old thief had dared covet his woman. He truly deserved to die!

"Lord Martial Ancestor, it's a misunderstanding. This old man—"

Boundless Old Ancestor's lips trembled, his face pale. Before he could finish, the Martial Ancestor lightly stamped his thunder scepter. Vast lightning immediately soared into the sky, ravaging the heavens.

"No—"

Purple lightning spread across Boundless Old Ancestor's body. His skin shattered inch by inch, and before he could even let out a scream, he turned into a wisp of smoke amid the boundless lightning and dispersed.

Only after seeing Boundless Old Ancestor reduced to ashes did the dense killing intent in the Martial Ancestor's eyes fade. His gaze shifted, and his deep eyes seemed to pierce through space, seeing the great battle taking place on the distant Northern Azure Continent.

He could not help but smile lightly. "Truly, heroes emerge in their youth. Facing five alone—this must be the young friend who sent me that message, I suppose?"

"It would be rather impolite not to meet him. Since I've come all this way, I should go see him..."

Northern Azure Continent.

Deep within the Western Wilderness Territory.

Black Dragon Sovereign was trapped within Ling Xi's ten spiritual arrays. Violent spiritual energy crashed against him in wave after wave. From afar, it looked like ten blazing suns bombarding him relentlessly, leaving him struggling to cope.

Not far away, Lu Chen had already put away the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar. Forming seals with both hands, purple flames soared into the sky before gathering into an enormous flaming sword before him, radiating an incomparably scorching aura.

Lu Chen gripped the longsword tightly as spiritual energy poured into it without end. Mysterious fiery runes seemed to emerge across its blade, while strands of heart-palpitating sword energy rippled around him, causing even space itself to tremble.

Greater Divine Ability, Great Lo Heavenly Flame Sword!

"Gentlemen, I'll have to borrow your heads!"

Holding the Great Lo Heavenly Flame Sword, Lu Chen looked at the five Sovereigns before him. He pointed his sword at them, intense battle intent rising in his eyes.

After traveling abroad for so long, he had finally found five suitable punching bags to test his skills on.

He had waited far too long for this day!

"Arrogant!"

The five Sovereigns from Dragon Demon Palace instantly flew into a rage. A middle-aged man in a yellow robe was the first to step forward, his Sovereign pressure spreading outward.

He was Yellow Dragon Sovereign, one of the five!

He stepped forward, looked at Lu Chen before him, then at Northern Dark Dragon Kun standing behind him. A trace of wariness flickered in his eyes as he cupped his hands and said, "Senior Northern Dark, are you certain that as long as one of the five of us can defeat him, we may leave this place safely?"

Northern Dark Dragon Kun rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "I keep my word. Stop wasting breath. I can't be bothered to deal with shrimps like you myself, so this brat will do it for me."

"If so, then this junior will test this little brother's skills!"

Yellow Dragon Sovereign drew a deep breath, turned toward Lu Chen, and let out a thunderous roar as his hands rapidly formed seals.

A thousand-foot Supreme Sovereign Celestial Body condensed behind him. Its entire body was dark yellow, as though cast from gold and iron, giving off an indestructible aura.

This was Yellow Dragon Sovereign's Heavenly Golden Celestial Body!

Though this celestial body was not among the ninety-nine ranks of Supreme Sovereign Celestial Bodies, it had been forged with Nine Xin Heavenly Gold born within the clouds. In terms of defense, it was enough to contend with a Second Grade Sovereign!

"Brat, die!"

Yellow Dragon Sovereign shouted, and the massive Heavenly Golden Celestial Body instantly transformed into a thousand-foot golden streak that crashed forward, its momentum terrifying enough to shake heaven and earth!

"Good!"

Lu Chen's eyes lit up. The Great Lo Heavenly Flame Sword in his hand erupted with dazzling violet light, and a streak of purple sword light shot forth like a surging purple river!

Wherever the river of sword qi passed, space itself was violently torn apart. It howled through the air and mercilessly slashed onto the Heavenly Golden Celestial Body!

Bang!

Sword light spread across the sky as sword qi howled everywhere. The Heavenly Golden Celestial Body was blasted backward, while endless violet flames fell upon it. It immediately let out sizzling sounds as countless drops of golden liquid dripped down, melting away at an astonishing speed.

Everyone from the Dragon Demon Palace sucked in a sharp breath at the sight.
