71: The Blood Knife Patriarch takes action

Xuangu Domain, Guming Prefecture!

Five ancient warships slowly sailed in!

"These are the warships of the Mystic Ancient Divine Hall! What's going on? Not long ago, didn't one warship go to Ming Domain?"

"Could it be that some treasure has appeared in Ming Domain, which caused the Mystic Ancient Divine Hall to dispatch so many warships?"

The Martial Artists of Guming Prefecture discussed animatedly!

"Reporting to Second Hall Elder, ahead is the domain boundary passage to Ming Domain!"

On one of the warships, a xuan armor middle-aged man walked into a luxurious room within the warship!

"Hmm?"

A Purple-Robed Old Man with an aged face opened his eyes, with various forces of Dao permeating his body!

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, the five warships stopped. Ahead, the entire space showed countless ripples, spreading out in all directions, like a stone falling into a calm lake.

At the same time, a huge spatial portal opened wide, and a mountain range exuding a powerful, mysterious aura emerged from it!

As soon as it appeared, a solemn, terrifying aura permeated the sky, directly causing everyone within tens of thousands of miles to feel a heavy pressure.

"What is this?"

"It's a floating mountain range! Look at that Heavenly Gate, the ancient aura on it is simply not something this Era could possess!"

"Why do I feel a terrifying pressure on this Heavenly Gate, unable to even think of resisting?"

They looked at the ancient Heavenly Gate, which spanned across eons, and at the white jade steps filled with traces of time, and a sense of awe suddenly rose in their hearts.

"Could it be the ruins of a Sect from the previous Era, now appearing?"

As soon as these words came out, all beings above the King Realm soared into the air, their gazes greedily fixed on the floating mountain range before them.

"Second Hall Elder, could this really be the ruins of the previous Era?"

Two Elders of the Divine Hall came before the Purple-Robed Old Man.

"I feel it's more than that!" Second Hall Elder's face revealed a greedy expression.

The previous Era, known as the Tianwu Era, although no Martial Gods were born in that Era, a powerful Imperial Dynasty, the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty, emerged. This powerful Imperial Dynasty produced nine Quasi-Gods, and if nothing unexpected happened, Martial Gods would have been born.

It's just a pity that the Great War of Humans, Demons, Devils, and Underworld races broke out in the previous Era. Even a powerful Imperial Dynasty like the Tianwu Imperial Dynasty eventually disappeared into the River of Time!

And that great war swept across the Five Continents of the Eternal Continent, and even today, the incomplete rules of many small domains are a result of that war.

Now, millions of years have passed, and the sealed ruins from back then often appear, providing countless opportunities for the Martial Artists of this Era.

Therefore, Second Hall Elder and others all thought that this was the appearance of ruins from the previous Era!

"No!"

Suddenly, Second Hall Elder's expression changed, because he felt a powerful aura awakening from that ancient Heavenly Gate.

Rumble~

A monstrous blood-red light shot up from the Heavenly Gate, its fierce might overwhelming, suppressing everyone!

After the blood-red light disappeared, a blood-colored long saber stood horizontally in the Void Realm, looking down on all beings. And just as everyone's greedy gazes were fixed on it, a large hand grasped the long saber.

The owner of the large hand was an old man in a monk's robe, with a white beard and a bald head. At this moment, he carried the saber on his shoulder and strode out of the Heavenly Gate!

With each step he took, the heavens and earth trembled!

"Hiss~"

"Venerable, it's a Venerable! I didn't expect such an existence in these ruins."

Everyone's eyes trembled with shock, especially when they felt the Evil Qi from the bald old man. Clearly, the other party was a fierce individual. For a moment, everyone scattered, fearing to be targeted by this person.

In the face of life and death, even if they were greedy for the Divine Mountain ruins, they had to be alive to claim them.

"Second Hall Elder, this person is coming for us!"

Feeling a Qi machine lock onto them, the Divine Hall Elder's expression changed slightly.

"What are you afraid of? He is a Sealed Venerable Perfection, and am I not?" Second Hall Elder rebuked.

Upon hearing this, the Divine Hall members immediately stopped their commotion.

Second Hall Elder soared out of the warship and arrived in the Void Realm ahead, cupping his hands and saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have locked your Qi machine onto my Divine Hall's warship, for what reason?"

Not knowing the other party's strength, Second Hall Elder was unwilling to argue with him.

"Hehe! The Mystic Ancient Divine Hall has provoked my clan time and again. Today, it even dispatched a large army, intending to exterminate my clan. We had no choice but to come uninvited!" Blood Sabre Old Ancestor sneered.

"What? Your Excellency's words, why do I not understand them?" Second Hall Elder frowned.

"Something's wrong, retreat quickly! What kind of Sect from the previous Era is this? This is clearly here for revenge, run!"

A powerful expert at Tian Wang Consummate saw that something was amiss and immediately roared, while he himself had already fled into the distance.

Other Martial Artists also left one after another. Even the nearby Sects and Families used various means to distance themselves. A battle between Venerables was enough to affect an area within tens of thousands of miles. If they didn't run far enough, a mere aftershock would wipe them out.

"I am Blood Sabre, from Ming Domain, ordered to exterminate the Mystic Ancient Divine Hall!"

As his voice fell.

Blood Sabre Old Ancestor no longer wasted words. The terrifying aura on his body erupted, turning into a rolling blood-red torrent that pressed towards Second Hall Elder!

Boom!

Space shattered layer by layer, and endless Void Realm cracks appeared!

Compared to small domains, the stability of space in a middle domain is incomparable to small domains. Even a small domain with complete rules cannot withstand the battles of many Venerables. The broken rules of Ming Domain were caused by the battles of dozens of Venerables.

But Xuangu Domain is different. As a middle domain, let alone battles between Venerables, it can even withstand battles between Profound Venerables!

"Bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Such an almost humiliating manner made Second Hall Elder furious. He swept a cold gaze at Blood Sabre Old Ancestor, and a terrifying aura erupted. He raised his withered hand and slammed it towards the blood-red torrent.

Boom!

A terrifying large hand condensed and struck with immense power!

The two collided, and the blood-red torrent was dispersed, sending countless cracks through the surrounding space.

"You have some skill! Worthy of Old Ancestor me making a move!"

A voice came from Blood Sabre Old Ancestor's mouth, and then he drew his saber and unleashed a Saber Qi, slashing towards Second Hall Elder.

"Mere trickery!"

Second Hall Elder disdained it, not retreating but advancing. He extended a hand, and a large hand instantly condensed, pinching the Saber Qi and crushing it. However, those Saber Qi fragments did not disappear but transformed into countless tiny blood sabers, attacking Second Hall Elder.

Second Hall Elder's expression changed. He formed hand seals, and a purple light shone from his purple robe, transforming into a ten-zhang Divine General that enveloped him.

This purple-light Divine General was like a deity, tall and mighty, with shimmering purple light, as if it could look down upon everything in the world.

When those blood sabers struck, the Divine General's gaze was like lightning, carrying endless majesty, causing those blood sabers to melt away and turn into nothingness under its gaze.

This scene was astonishing, as if witnessing the power of a god manifesting in the world.

"It's one of the Divine Hall's three great Divine Abilities, Heavenly God Dharma Body!"

The Divine Hall Martial Artists rejoiced at the sight.

Divine Abilities are one level higher than Minor Divine Abilities, belonging to Martial Skills Cultivated by Profound Venerables, and their power is extremely formidable.

Boundless night covered the entire world, the light of turning stones into stars twinkled, and a rain of stars poured down like a waterfall!

Second Hall Elder stood at the heart of the Heavenly God Dharma Body. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The ten-zhang tall Heavenly God Dharma Body roared at the sky, and endless black dark clouds gathered like ink. The world within tens of thousands of miles instantly plunged into darkness.

In the boundless night sky, scattered stars shone with an eerie light, like ghostly eyes.

Under Second Hall Elder's control, these lights transformed into streaks of light, raining down like meteors towards Blood Sabre Old Ancestor.

"Hmph! Watch Old Ancestor me cut down your false night! Blood Sea, appear!"

Blood Sabre Old Ancestor roared, and a boundless Blood Sea emerged beneath his feet.

He stood upon the Blood Sea, looking up at the descending stars, his eyes glinting with a cold light.

"The Blood Sea surges, condensing blood into sabers, borrowing three feet of my blood-forged saber, to shatter illusions!"

The Blood Sea surged, raising monstrous waves. Streaks of mysterious blood-colored power flew out from the Blood Sea and drilled into Blood Sabre Old Ancestor's blood-colored long saber.

Blood Sabre Old Ancestor's aura became even more terrifying, like an abyss, vast and mighty, filling the entire world.

The initially descending stars were also affected, fixed in the Void Realm by an invisible Qi machine, unable to advance even an inch further.

"Impossible, how could you possess such a powerful Divine Ability technique!"

Second Hall Elder's face paled in shock, his voice filled with disbelief.

He widened his eyes, looking at Blood Sabre Old Ancestor, a surge of fear rising in his heart.

"Myriad Stars Gather, All Stars Adorn the Moon!"

Second Hall Elder roared. He controlled the Heavenly God Dharma Body to grab at those stars. A colossal hand condensed in the night sky, and its immense suction caused all the stars to gather in its grasp.

These stars merged together until they formed a giant star, radiating dazzling light.
