Sword River Zang Yu, One Sword Crosses the Star River!

After that aged voice fell silent.

In the blink of an eye, an old man dressed in white, with strands of white hidden among his black hair.

Appeared soundlessly above the Forbidden Sect, a Spirit Sword in hand.

Besides the suffocating aura emanating from this white-robed old man.

There was also a thick aura of death...

At the sight of the white-robed old man's face, the Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor froze.

The eyes of the powerhouses across the Three Thousand Great Worlds contracted, their faces filled with shock...

The Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor and the other six, in particular, had deep apprehension flickering in their eyes...

"Sect Master... who is this ancestor of ours...?"

"He... will be all right, won't he?"

Looking at the dense aura of death continuously pouring from that white-robed figure, Chu Luo felt somewhat worried...

It seemed as though this ancestor of theirs did not have long to live...

Sect Master Lin Feng also looked up at the old man, his brows slightly furrowed and his heart full of questions...

"He is one of our Forbidden Sect's ancestors, Zang Yu!"

"But how strange... he... how did he become like this...? This shouldn't be!"

Lin Feng replied to Chu Luo through a private voice transmission.

"Zang Yu?!"

In all the years since Chu Luo had come to this world, this was his first time hearing this ancestor's name.

Presumably, Ancestor Burial Jade belonged to an extremely distant era...

Otherwise, he would not have such a dense aura of death surrounding him...

"Zang... Zang Yu!"

"It's Zang Yu!"

"Sword River Zang Yu!!"

"Hiss... to think even the Buried Jade Great Emperor has emerged!"

"When I was still in the Ancient Sage realm, the Buried Jade Great Emperor was already a Great Emperor whose fame shook the Three Thousand Great Worlds..."

"Why is there so much deathly energy surrounding the Buried Jade Great Emperor...?"

"Alas... though Great Emperors live long lives, if they never manage to break through, they must eventually pass away in this world..."

"Heh... I reckon this Zang Yu has only a hundred years or so left at most. In another hundred years, that old fellow will surely pass away..."

"Even Zang Yu has entered the Five Declines of the Celestial. Heh... those old things in the Forbidden Sect who predate him must have passed away long ago!"

"This visit from the seven emperors has finally let us glimpse the leopard through the tube and get a rough measure of the Forbidden Sect's current strength..."

"Indeed, the Forbidden Sect has declined..."

"Hahaha... Zang Yu is an ancestor from the generation before those two old ghosts, Xiao Chen and Dao Yuan. With Zang Yu entering the Five Declines of the Celestial, even if some older fellows are still alive, they surely only dare to keep themselves sealed away now. The moment those old things emerge and take action, they'll perish..."

"Heh... those old fellows from the Forbidden Sect have shorter lifespans than we do. Back then, they fought constantly and repeatedly unleashed forbidden-level secret arts, drastically draining their lifespans..."

"Once the Forbidden Sect has fallen completely, I'd like to see how they can still hold on to those thousand Forbidden Secret Arts..."

"..."

Many secluded old monsters emerged, secretly observing the battlefield.

Upon learning of the Buried Jade Great Emperor's current condition, greed appeared on the faces of many of those secluded old monsters.

The Forbidden Sect's Forbidden Secret Arts had countless people salivating.

It was precisely because the Forbidden Sect possessed a thousand Forbidden Secret Arts that its legacy had endured through the ages...

But those secluded old monsters knew that the time had not yet come!

Even if some ancient fossils in the Forbidden Sect were about to pass away.

Once the Forbidden Sect was driven into a corner, those old monsters would fight even at the cost of their lives.

That would also spell utter annihilation for the forces they belonged to...

High in the void, Ancestor Burial Jade raised his eyes slightly.

The next moment.

The void overhead, torn apart by the power of Great Emperors.

Was instantly restored by an even more terrifying power!

With just a glance, he swept away the raging power above the firmament.

And repaired the shattered void!

This sight made the hairs of countless secluded old monsters watching in secret stand on end, filling them with dread...

"So powerful!"

Chu Luo could not help exclaiming as well.

Just what level had this Ancestor Burial Jade of theirs reached?!

"The Desolate Ancient Wang Family, the Spiritclear Sect, Crimson Flame Valley, and one insignificant sect."

"You have some nerve!"

"Who gave you the confidence to come looking for trouble at my Forbidden Sect?!"

Ancestor Burial Jade's white robes fluttered without wind, and his gaze sharpened!

The battlefield in the Outer Void lay entirely within his sight!

His mighty, icy voice rang like a great bell from an ancient age, making the eardrums of the Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor and the others sting faintly...

Though they were separated by a vast distance.

The Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor and the other six Great Emperors felt as though Ancestor Burial Jade stood right before them...

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and their Dao hearts nearly faltered!

After all, the Buried Jade Great Emperor had been a legendary existence even in their era...

Even though Ancestor Burial Jade was now shrouded in deathly energy...

Still, the Buried Jade Great Emperor's current condition also allowed the seven Great Emperors to gauge the Forbidden Sect's present state!

The Forbidden Sect was not far from its decline!

A hundred years at most!

After a hundred years, the Forbidden Sect would no longer be a match for top-tier forces like theirs!

"A sixth-realm Great Emperor!"

"Retreat!"

The Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor snapped out of his daze and warned the Bright King Great Emperor beside him!

The two immediately turned and fled!

The Heavenly Flame Great Emperor and the Wine Saint Great Emperor also reacted, immediately warning the Rebirth-in-Fire Great Emperor and the Dustless Great Emperor from their respective forces!

Those Great Emperors promptly turned as well, tore open space, and fled!

The flight of the Great Emperors from the three top-tier forces also abruptly brought the Heavenly Gate Great Emperor to his senses.

However, at the very instant he reacted.

The Great Emperor Yin Ya moved before him.

And launched a sneak attack!

"You old bastard, die!"

Boom!

Splat...

With a palm strike charged with power, the Great Emperor Yin Ya severely wounded the Heavenly Gate Great Emperor and sent him flying!

"Despicable! You actually launched a sneak attack!"

The Heavenly Gate Great Emperor cursed furiously, coughing up Great Emperor blood essence.

However, before he could recover.

Ancestor Sky Dust and Ancestor Daoyuan had already charged in.

The three Great Emperors surrounded and attacked the Heavenly Gate Great Emperor, sealing off every escape route.

At that moment, the Heavenly Gate Great Emperor was consumed by regret...

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"

Boom...

The Heavenly Gate Great Emperor roared furiously, repeatedly fending off the three men's joint attacks!

Yet just then.

Above the Forbidden Sect, Ancestor Burial Jade watched the Great Emperors fleeing deeper into the cosmos and gave a cold smile.

"You come whenever you please and leave whenever you please!"

"What do you take my Forbidden Sect for?"

As soon as his words fell, Ancestor Burial Jade raised his sword toward the Outer Void and intoned:

"Forbidden Secret Arts, One Sword Crosses the Star River!"

Boom...

Then, with the longsword in his hand aimed at the Outer Void.

He slashed out with a single stroke!
