The screens released by the Ancestral Spirit failed to achieve their purpose. The eight screens closed in an instant and disappeared from each other's view, leaving only ripples like water in the scene.
The bronze sword didn't need to rotate at all; once trapped inside, it only needed to twist once more, and its blade would be covered with sword energy again.
As the heavy water ripples solidified, the sword emitted a burst of sword energy, with a stream of light bursting from its sharp edge!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
After several muffled thuds, the water barrier shattered.
The invisible sword energy roared proudly across the heavens and earth like a long dragon, seemingly mocking the Ancestral Spirit's overestimation of its own power.
After breaking through the obstacles, the sword continued its momentum in the air, shattering several attacks in an instant.
The Heaven Patroler's power and influence on the scene were unparalleled!
The bronze sword that pierced through the Center carried thunder and rain, moving back and forth as if on flat ground, unimpeded by anything.
Looking at that imposing sword aura, Xu Long finally understood the power of a top-tier swordsman and the elegance of an immortal law!
A long trajectory stretched across the center of the city, and the spatial barriers on all four sides of that trajectory were shattered.
The sword blade suddenly unleashed its sharpness, piercing through countless obstacles in its path, leaving only a wisp of sword energy visible in the world.
Its sharp edge had dimmed even the sun and moon, and despite its numerous protective measures, the bronze sword's power remained undiminished when it struck.
When its sharp edge was fully revealed, inscriptions were also visible, indicating that the laws belonging to the Heaven Patroler had been attached to it.
Golden light, carrying boundless energy, surged forth, and the energy fluctuations around the center of the battle were like surging tides.
The sword energy only hovered within the water for a fleeting moment before darting out like a dragon wading through water.
The long dragon suddenly twisted outside the golden light, and the sword energy surged out in the process.
With a deafening roar, the energy that had just gathered was instantly shattered.
In a blurry space, only a sword aura stood tall, with chaotic energy spreading out to the left and right of the bronze sword.
As Xu Long gazed at the sword energy in the arena, a surge of emotions welled up within him.
He boasted that he had seen countless Sword Dao cultivators, but none had ever possessed such imposing power as the Heaven Patroler.
Its only method of dealing with the Ancestral Spirit is the bronze sword in the arena.
With just this sword energy, the ancient god was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Upon careful consideration, this is the true master of the Sword Dao, this is the true ancient immortal!
No matter how many routes you come from, I will only go one way!
This is the belief of the Heaven Patroler. He may have long forgotten the techniques of Sword Dao, and his swordplay is entirely based on his will.
In the battle against the Ancestral Spirit, he disdained to use any other techniques; his mind was solely focused on this one precious sword.
This bronze sword once beheaded countless people, shattered the endless sky, roared proudly beyond the heavens, and roamed the myriad realms with awe.
This is the Heaven Patroler's true old friend, and this is his greatest reliance, which he has engraved inscriptions in the Heaven Beyond Heaven!
Xu Long watched the battle between the Heaven Patroler and the Ancestral Spirit; the power unleashed by that sword strike was truly terrifying.
He seemed to have gained a new understanding of the Heaven-Slaying One Sword he had previously comprehended in Blackwater City.
On his path of cultivation, Xu Long never rejected absorbing the strengths of others. After observing the Heaven Patroler's sword strike, he firmly remembered this scene.
Where can we once again witness the elegance of ancient immortals and the might of Sword Dao masters?
This observation is for future application, and it provides more choices and control when navigating the Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
Xu Long retreated repeatedly behind the Ancestral Spirit, observing the Heaven Patroler's sword strikes while also keeping an eye on his own Celestial Phenomenon.
After absorbing the Thunder God, the Nebula Vortex underwent tremendous changes.
The originally colorless Nebula took on a reddish hue after absorbing a massive amount of hot magma within the Earth's crust.
The condensed energy within is extremely violent, and now it has absorbed thirty-six ancient Thunder God.
Those are beings that have awakened wisdom from the ancient Hundun, born with divine might.
At this Celestial Phenomenon, the Spot starlight in the sky was completely obscured.
The entire Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon was replaced by a Nebula, within which countless energies formed clouds.
Then, as the vortex solidified and spun, the clouds within it were swept away, and all the energy was buried in the deep vortex.
The brilliant starlight dims at times, and violent energy manifests itself at these moments. When the Celestial Phenomenon change, only the condensed vortex remains unchanged.
The depths of that vortex seemed to connect to another world, from which violent energy emanated.
When Xu Long intended to unleash the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon, layers of energy alternated and brewed within it, and wave after wave of vast celestial might manifested within it.
It seemed as if a giant eye lurked in the darkness, gazing down upon the vast earth, ready to unleash its fury at the slightest sign of disobedience.
At this moment, the Nebula looked exceptionally mysterious, with crimson and purple intertwined, and fire and lightning linked together; its colors had been completely altered.
That Innate Essence Qi completely condensed and refined the hot magma and the energy of the Thunder God gods.
At this moment, what was gathering in the vortex made Xu Long quite uneasy.
What will happen when lightning and fire combine...?
Although the energy accumulation in the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon is already at its peak, Xu Long cannot directly control the energy within it.
He felt as if something was missing, and he was waiting for an opportunity to unlock it.
Xu Long had a premonition that once he had complete control over the energy within the Celestial Phenomenon, it would be an energy no less powerful than Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation!
The situation at the Center is extremely critical now, Ancestral Spirit have thoroughly enraged the Heaven Patroler after escaping their prison.
Both were once influential figures, and they harbored deep-seated grudges against each other.
The Ancestral Spirit originally intended to lead their ancestors and descendants back to the heavens, but the Heaven Patroler was stubborn; he still clung to the past and clung to his already corrupt identity.
Upon seeing the Ancestral Spirit freed from its confinement, his first thought was to reseal Ancestral Spirit to fulfill the command made countless years ago.
Ever since Xu Long broke the sealing seal, he had already harbored resentment towards Xu Long.
Being behind the Ancestral Spirit was not entirely safe at this moment, as Xu Long feared that the Heaven Patroler's sword energy would directly strike.
Therefore, after completing his mission in the Land of Exile, he subdued the Thunder God with the help of the Ancestral Spirit, and the anomalies in the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon were already a great gain.
After witnessing the battle between the two ancient powerful beings, Xu Long's current thought was to summon the Main God back to the Divine Hall.
After all, no amount of benefits is as important as one's own life.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he realized that the situation on the field was becoming increasingly tense.
Enraged, the Heaven Patroler used his bronze sword to slaughter an invincible foe at the Center.
However, the Ancestral Spirit wanted to protect Xu Long and the city lord's group, so it used defensive measures when facing the bronze sword.
During the battle, the Ancestral Spirit repeatedly transmitted their voices, urging Gu Jianshan to abandon the fight and come to his senses as soon as possible.
Times have changed; their era is over.
But at this moment, Gu Jianshan had his sword outside him and his anger inside; he would never listen to the Ancestral Spirit's advice.
Seeing that Gu Jianshan was getting carried away with the fighting and that he was showing signs of being possessed by a demon, Ancestral Spirit knew that he could not continue to entangle them and had to finish the battle quickly.
Otherwise, if the Gu Jianshan continues to wreak havoc, its core will surely be shattered by the bronze sword, and everyone will inevitably fall into an endless abyss.
When Xu Long summoned the Main God in his heart, the Ancestral Spirit seemed to sense it.
His enormous totem-like image held up the bronze sword, while the human-shaped figure suddenly turned around and gave Xu Long a meaningful look.
Then she said to him slowly:
"Young friend, until we meet again!"
Xu Long was startled when he saw the Ancestral Spirit turn around.
His connection with the Main God was extremely secretive, and the Main God was not a being belonging to the world.
The power of the Main God far surpasses all the energy in this world, so why did the Ancestral Spirit greet me at this moment when I summoned the Main God?
Is it really just a coincidence, or is there some deeper connection between them?
"I congratulate the Emperor Xi Fuxi, and I congratulate the ancient people. May the Emperor Xi return to the heavens soon, reopen the Immortal Register, and restore the former glory upon his ascension to the throne!"
Xu Long's mind raced for a week before he respectfully bowed to the Ancestral Spirit and then sincerely spoke a few words to Ancestral Spirit.
Having been trapped in the core for an unknown period of time, with the original world already destroyed, perhaps only a figure like the Ancestral Spirit could lead the descendants of the people to find a new world to settle in.
After hearing Xu Long's words, Ancestral Spirit shook his head slightly. A look similar to that of the Heaven Patroler flashed in his eyes, but it was well concealed by the golden light outside his eyes.
What good are the years spent in the Center, finally understanding the constraints of Land of Exile?
The original world has been completely destroyed. Where, beyond the heavens, can the descendants of our ancestors find refuge, or can they truly rebuild the glorious past?
The Ancestral Spirit had been enduring the Heaven Patroler's offensive, not because he was powerless to resist, but because he saw his former self reflected in the Heaven Patroler's emotions.
Their era has passed...
[Recruiter quest complete, spatial teleportation activated!]
As Xu Long gazed at the Ancestral Spirit, a cold voice echoed in his mind.
He instantly realized that the Main God was about to open a portal to teleport him after sensing his summons.
A series of cracking sounds echoed overhead, and a huge gash suddenly appeared inside the sealed core.
It was as if someone had peeled open the core of the space outside the barrier, and the hand that reached in stretched the giant mouth even wider.
The people at the Center looked out at the dark world beyond the giant maw, a world of endless desolation and silence.
The spatial rift at the Center is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure within it is becoming increasingly heavy.
Xu Long glanced meaningfully at the city lord and his entourage, but his body had already headed towards the spatial rift below the sky.
At this moment, Deng Shouchong and his group were all dumbfounded. They never imagined that Mo Yu would have the strength to Dukong barriers.
The spatial rift that appeared before them gave them a long-lost sense of freedom.
However, without sufficient strength and precise coordinates, daring to initiate spatial teleportation is tantamount to suicide.
"An anomaly... an anomaly!"
At this moment, the city lord was constantly turning the tortoise shell in his hand. He watched as Xu Long was about to escape into the spatial passage, and kept muttering the word "anomaly".
At this moment, he probably already knew why the Ancestral Spirit had asked him to bestow the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram upon Xu Long.
Because behind that deep spatial rift lies an energy no less powerful than that of the Ancestral Spirit itself!
The city lord's eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he calculated something amidst the adversity.
The tortoise shell in front of him flipped faster and faster, and the glint in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Then, with a crisp "crack," a tiny crack appeared on the tortoise shell that the city lord had been caressing for countless years.
The glint in his eyes suddenly vanished. The city lord stared blankly into the darkness of the spatial rift, his expression expressionless.
Inside, it was as if a Creator was gazing upon him, and the vast and boundless power made the city lord's heart tremble.
Stroking a crack on the tortoise shell, he subconsciously uttered the words "Formless"!
Deng Shouchong, the Yuan Brothers, and Chen Yuping all had incredibly complex expressions on their faces as they watched Xu Long prepare to leave for distant lands.
I originally thought Mo Yu was a formidable fighter, someone who could escape the chaos, but I never imagined that in the end he would be the one who looked down upon all living beings.
The path to Sea of Suffering and Calamity peril; one must be cautious at all times while traversing it.
But when they looked back, they realized that Xu Long had been just a passerby on their path to immortality from beginning to end.
Even though they were just passersby in a hurry, they still left the most significant mark on their path of cultivation.
This left them deeply troubled and unable to find peace within themselves for a long time.
" The Land of Exile will belong to the past; the true path lies beyond the heavens!"
The Ancestral Spirit's long, drawn-out voice resonated in everyone's hearts.
As he watched Xu Long about to disappear into the sky, he uttered these profound words, whether directed at Xu Long or at the city lord and his entourage.
The people who had been lost in thought suddenly came to their senses, and a huge screen of light appeared in front of them.
Xu Long was about to enter the passage. The Ancestral Spirit were now trying to incorporate them into the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram so they could focus on dealing with the Heaven Patroler.
Looking at the situation in the arena and the world beyond, everyone was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
After bowing to the Ancestral Spirit, they all entered the light curtain.
Xu Long's figure rapidly rose from the Center; he knew he couldn't delay any longer.
The Main God's power seems unmatched, but there are still Heaven Patroler present.
He possesses the right to Origin Will in the Land of Exile, and if someone intentionally obstructs him, even the Main God will be affected.
The dark passage in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, and Xu Long's figure drew closer and closer to the spatial rift. At this moment, he was already at the highest point in the center of the space.
As he looked back at the space below him, a dim magic seal suddenly flashed in his eyes.
That's the sealing seal of the Heaven Patroler!
A massive seal floated silently in the sky.
Perhaps the Heaven Patroler and the Ancestral Spirit were too busy fighting each other to notice that the enormous sealing seal was still floating in the sky.
Xu Long watched as the dim and lifeless magic seal still floated in the air, its vast power still swirling.
However, compared to its previous brilliance, it was undoubtedly overshadowed at this moment.
