At this moment.
Divine Wind Great Heavenly God Venerable stood there with utmost respect, not daring to move an inch, cold sweat beading across his forehead.
The ancestors of the five ancient hidden sects—Ancient Immortal, Ancient Mystic, Ancient God, Ancient Heaven, and Ancient Absolute—were kneeling directly in the void, their entire bodies trembling. Endless terror filled their faces; none of their former domineering arrogance, their contempt for heaven and earth, remained.
Beneath Xuanyuan Qingtian's sword edge, they sensed an absolutely invincible, terrifying sharpness. Though the sword had halted in midair, they were certain that once it fell, they would be utterly erased, without even a wisp of aura left behind.
From the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, they sensed an absolute majesty that could not be offended!
Merely a trace of the pressure leaking from his aura made their hearts pound wildly, nearly scaring them into wetting themselves!
"Damn it, damn it!"
"I've had rotten luck for eight lifetimes—how did my brain get caught in a door and make me come here?"
"Those five old idiots from Ancient Immortal and the rest have gotten me utterly screwed over this time!"
"They actually dared to challenge a peerless, terrifying, taboo sect like the Divine Sword Sect!!"
At this very moment, Divine Wind Great Heavenly God Venerable's heart had risen to his throat. The cold sweat on his forehead grew heavier and heavier, and he feared that if the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect refused, Xuanyuan Qingtian would slash him into a cloud of blood mist with a single strike.
That was not even the most terrifying part!
The most terrifying part was that he even had the illusion that the aura pressure radiating from the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect was more terrifying than that
