"A Peerless Sacred Artifact..." Looking at the silver longsword in Long Nixian's hand, Xiao Yan could not help smacking his lips. Though his Ancestral Stone and other treasures had also evolved to the level of sacred artifacts, they were low-grade sacred artifacts at best. The sword Long Nixian held, however, was a Peerless Sacred Artifact, far more formidable than even a high-grade sacred artifact. No wonder it had shattered the Spirit of Battle Intent's attack with a single strike.
A treasure of this caliber gave an enormous boost to experts of this level. Even Heavenly Sovereigns would covet it, which spoke volumes about its power. With Long Nixian's current strength as a Half-Step Heavenly Sovereign, such a Peerless Sacred Artifact was enough to let him contend with a true Heavenly Sovereign. The Spirit of Battle Intent formed by the Dragon Bone Guards would likely find it difficult to suppress him as it had before.
No matter what, then, he had to find a way to deal with that silver longsword, or at least prevent it from functioning for a short while. Otherwise, he had no confidence that he could kill Long Nixian with this Spirit of Battle Intent. Fortunately, Xiao Yan had made every preparation before this operation, including, naturally, preparations for any sacred artifacts Long Nixian might possess.
"Time Ancestral Symbol, freeze." Xiao Yan shifted his hand seal slightly, and a strange fluctuation spread outward, instantly freezing Long Nixian in place just as he prepared to launch his attack.
This was one of the trump cards Xiao Yan had kept hidden ever since ascending to the Great Thousand World: the Time Ancestral Symbol he had personally condensed. In the Great Thousand World, however, its effect could no longer be as terrifying as it had been on the Dou Qi
