Hum, hum, hum...
Two vast powers soared into the sky from the depths of the Forbidden Sect.
The next instant.
A golden avenue and visions of myriad laws alternated in succession.
Within those visions, countless Gods and Devils gazed down upon the world, their feet planted on hanging rivers.
Two towering figures emerged from those terrifying visions.
They stepped out through the void!
Chu Luo followed the sight with his gaze.
He saw that the two figures were elderly men with entirely different bearings.
One wore white robes and had white hair, refined and easygoing...
The other wore shabby clothes, irreverent and carefree...
It's him!!
Chu Luo's gaze landed on the refined, easygoing elder, and he could not help exclaiming inwardly.
It was this old man!
Previously, while cultivating the last of his escape-type Forbidden Secret Arts.
He had gotten the direction wrong and accidentally teleported into the depths of the Forbidden Ground!
Inside the Forbidden Ground, he had seen a stone stele.
Inscribed on the stele were three thousand Forbidden Secret Arts!
Only then had Chu Luo learned.
Their Forbidden Sect did not have one thousand Forbidden Secret Arts.
It had a full three thousand!
At the time, he had wanted to seize the opportunity to make rubbings of the remaining two thousand Forbidden Secret Arts.
But an elder had appeared, picked him up, and thrown him out of the Forbidden Ground!
And the elder who had thrown him out was this refined ancestor!
"This is..."
"Old ghost Xiao Chen!"
"Old ghost Dao Yuan!"
The Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor and the other six Great Emperors present saw the two elders appear above the Forbidden Sect in an instant, and their expressions changed slightly.
But a moment later, the seven Great Emperors' expressions returned to normal.
Their divine senses surged madly toward the depths of the Forbidden Sect's Forbidden Ground.
But a powerful force deep within the Forbidden Sect's Forbidden Ground blocked their probing...
"Gasp... those are... the Forbidden Sect's Great Emperor Xiaochen and Great Emperor Dao Yuan!"
"A hundred thousand years ago, in the battle at the Sea of Darkness, those two Great Emperors slaughtered enemies on every side, earning glorious military merits for our Three Thousand Great Worlds. Those fellows over at the Sea of Darkness haven't dared make any moves even to this day..."
"Indeed... to think that after a hundred thousand years, these two Great Emperors are still around..."
"A hundred thousand years have passed, yet there's not a trace of deathly aura on either of them... it seems their strength is even more terrifying than it was back then..."
"These two are the Forbidden Sect's most recent generation of ancestors. Who knows whether the ancestors of the earlier generations are still around... if they are... the seven Great Emperors' plans today will probably come to nothing..."
"Who knows..."
"..."
The appearance of the Forbidden Sect's two ancestors also caused a sensation among the countless experts watching this place.
Some old ghosts living in seclusion could not help recalling the earth-shaking battle a hundred thousand years ago when they saw the pair...
Their gazes were filled with respect as they looked at the two elders...
"Ancestors!"
Delighted, Lin Feng led all the elders and disciples present in bowing to the two ancestors!
Chu Luo bowed along with them.
"Sect Master, there's no need for such courtesy!"
"Little fellow, we meet again..."
Ancestor Sky Dust, clad in white, smiled at Lin Feng and the others before his gaze landed on Chu Luo...
"Brat, you're the one who brought these seven things here, aren't you?!"
"You little troublemaker!"
Ancestor Daoyuan, dressed like a beggar and holding a wooden stick, also turned his gaze toward Chu Luo.
He looked Chu Luo up and down, an unusual glint flashing through his eyes, and spoke irritably.
Neither ancestor paid the slightest attention to the seven Great Emperors opposite them, whose faces had darkened.
Hearing this, Chu Luo scratched his head, shrugged, and said with an awkward smile:
"Ancestor, this... you can't blame me!"
"If I hadn't fought back, their disciples would've slaughtered me..."
"I just didn't expect the prodigies of these top factions to be such trash... they couldn't take a beating..."
"Ancestors, you two have to stand up for your disciple!"
The moment Chu Luo finished speaking, both ancestors threw their heads back and laughed:
"Hahaha..."
"Not bad, brat, not bad! That's how a disciple of our Forbidden Sect should act!"
"Don't worry, brat. No matter who comes today, no one will hurt you!"
"And not just you. The same goes for every disciple of our Forbidden Sect!"
"If you die at the hands of someone of your generation, then your skills simply weren't good enough. But if you beat the young ones and their old ones jump out to bully you, then we old fossils will come out too and teach them how to behave!"
The two ancestors' voices resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Every disciple of the Forbidden Sect was moved to tears, and they all shouted the ancestors' names!
They felt incredibly fortunate to be disciples of the Forbidden Sect...
"Hehe..."
"Evil-Suppressing, Bright King, Heavenly Flame, Wine Saint, you four have really made something of yourselves!"
"You've all broken through to the fourth great emperor realm!"
"But even with four fourth-realm Great Emperors, don't think you can harm a single hair on our Forbidden Sect's disciples!"
"If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
"I don't feel like killing anyone today!"
Ancestor Daoyuan glanced toward the seven Great Emperors, his gaze settling on the four at their head, and spoke with a broad grin.
As for the remaining three-the Heavenly Gate Great Emperor, the Rebirth-in-Fire Great Emperor, and the Dustless Great Emperor.
Although all three were genuine Great Emperors.
In the eyes of the two ancestors, however.
The three seemed unworthy of their notice.
Because their cultivation was only at the first or second great emperor realm...
"Hmph!"
"Old ghost Dao Yuan, after all these years, your mouth is still as foul as ever!"
"After all this time, you two are only at the fourth great emperor realm. Facing four fourth-realm Great Emperors like us, where does your confidence come from?!"
The Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor sneered, his killing intent chilling.
With those words, countless experts learned the cultivation levels of the Forbidden Sect's two ancestors.
The fourth great emperor realm!
Even Chu Luo's lips could not help twitching slightly.
He had thought these two ancestors were more badass than those seven old bastards!
It turned out they were in the same realm as the Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor, Heavenly Flame Great Emperor, Wine Saint Great Emperor, and Bright King Great Emperor!
The other side clearly had more fourth-realm Great Emperors than they did!
And there were still the Heaven Gate, Rebirth-in-Fire, and Dustless Great Emperors!
How did these two ancestors dare act so cocky?
Chu Luo had thought he was already arrogant enough.
As it turned out, these two ancestors of the Forbidden Sect were even more arrogant than he was...
"Sect Master... do we only have these two ancestors?"
"If there are any others, you'd better invite them out..."
"Our two ancestors are so cocky... I'm afraid the other side will beat them to death..."
Still uneasy, Chu Luo secretly sent a voice transmission to Sect Master Lin Feng...
Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly. He gave a dry cough and secretly replied:
"Brat, don't worry!"
"These two ancestors of ours were once known as invincible within their realm..."
At this point, Lin Feng began to lose confidence as well.
He wondered what Elder Qin Yi was playing at.
Why had he only invited out these two weakest ancestors?
As the sect master, he knew the sect's reserves inside out.
Could those old fellows in the Forbidden Ground really have slept themselves out of existence?
He would have to find time to go and see for himself...
"Heh..."
"Dao Yuan, why are you wasting words on these old ghosts?!"
"It's not as though you don't know what these old bastards are like!"
"They're just a few losers we defeated back then. Give them another beating, and they'll learn their lesson!"
"Let's fight in the Outer Void!"
The refined, easygoing Ancestor Sky Dust gave a cold laugh, a spear in his hand.
He took a step forward, and the void beneath his feet shifted.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the Outer Void atop a Great Emperor Dharma Form tens of thousands of feet tall!
"Fine, then. Hehe..."
"Come fight, you defeated losers!"
Ancestor Daoyuan laughed as well and vanished from the spot.
He appeared in the Outer Void above the Forbidden Sect.
"Old ghost Xiao Chen, old ghost Dao Yuan, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!"
"Today, we'll slay you two old ghosts!"
"Fellow Daoists, let us join forces and slay them!"
The Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor roared in fury.
"Agreed!"
Boom...
