138: Chapter 138 The terror of Su Jianshen, close the door, invite the ancestor!

"Hmm!"

The four Saints, swept by Ancestor Zhou Wudi's gaze, instantly felt a wave of fear envelop their hearts, their bodies trembling slightly.

For the first time since stepping into the Saint Realm, they had actually felt fear.

"Wha... what just happened? I actually felt fear from just being glanced at?"

A one-armed old man spoke up, not realizing that his voice carried a slight tremor.

"Wh... what's there to fear! Two eras have passed, so what if he was invincible in the late ancient times? Back then, there was no Heavenly Dao to restrain him, so his strength was normal.

But now it's different. The glorious era has not yet arrived, and the Heavenly Dao is currently restraining the entire Shengyuan World. I refuse to believe he can still be invincible!"

The cripple chimed in from the side.

Beside him, a mute man was also gesturing something. Judging by his expression, he clearly also didn't believe the Ancestor of the Zhou Family could display an invincible posture once more.

"KILL!!"

The four of them shouted in unison.

Surprisingly, they all turned and ran towards the rear in perfect sync.

"Huh???" Ancestor Zhou Wudi watched the fleeing four, feeling somewhat speechless.

What happened to that overwhelming Battle Intent they were radiating just moments ago?

Why did they turn and run after uttering such bold words?

Ancestor Zhou Wudi had the intention to chase them down and kill those four Saints, but after glancing at the injured General Longhuang and Zhou Yuxuan, who was guarding the Soul Summoning Banner...

He calmed down.

"Forget it, you're lucky this time!" Ancestor Zhou Wudi thought to himself.

Immediately after, he began looking curiously at Zhou Yuxuan,

Gazing at the Soul Summoning Banner in his hand.

"BOOM!!!"

At that moment, another brilliant divine light descended from the heavens.

However, this divine light was somewhat different; it carried ripples of Dao essence that poured into the Soul Summoning Banner.

Before long, a pure Saintly intent began to circulate around the Soul Summoning Banner.

Immediately after, a stream of information was transmitted from the Soul Summoning Banner to Zhou Yuxuan.

"I never imagined that after the Soul Summoning Banner advanced to a Sacred Artifact, it would have such a change?"

Zhou Yuxuan murmured with emotion.

As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of excitement within them. Clearly, he was astonished by the information transmitted to his mind by the Soul Summoning Banner.

"What is it, Little Yuxuan?"

Seeing the expression on his Junior's face, Ancestor Zhou Wudi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Old Ancestor, after the Soul Summoning Banner advanced to a Sacred Artifact, it actually gained an additional function!" Zhou Yuxuan began to explain to Ancestor Zhou Wudi.

"Oh?" Instantly, a glimmer of interest arose in Ancestor Zhou Wudi's heart.

Although Zhou Yuxuan was young, he possessed various supreme treasures, which had greatly elevated his perspective.

Nowadays, there couldn't be many things that could make him show a surprised expression.

"Old Ancestor, look!" Zhou Yuxuan now manipulated the Soul Summoning Banner.

As he lightly waved the Soul Summoning Banner in his hand...

In the distance and all around, the strange mist that enveloped them actually obeyed Zhou Yuxuan's command, parting to both sides.

Even the monsters lurking deep within the mist retreated far away at this moment.

"The Soul Summoning Banner actually has this kind of effect?" Ancestor Zhou Wudi was somewhat surprised.

After all, it was said that the Immortal Burying Mountain Range held the secret of Immortal Ascension within its depths.

And that secret coincidentally lay in the deepest part of this mountain range.

Unfortunately, for unknown reasons and from an unknown time, the Immortal Burying Mountain Range had been shrouded layer upon layer by this strange mist.

Although ordinary Saints could rely on their powerful cultivation to barely venture deep inside, they could never reach the innermost depths.

Even with cultivation at the Emperor Realm, reaching the deepest part of this mountain range was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yet now, he saw a glimmer of hope to enter the deepest part of this mountain range.

That hope was the Soul Summoning Banner.

However, it was unknown whether the Soul Summoning Banner had any limitations...

At that moment, just as Ancestor Zhou Wudi was silently pondering how to borrow the Soul Summoning Banner from his Junior...

Zhou Yuxuan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Old Ancestor, I just tested the Soul Summoning Banner. It seems to have some drawbacks. It can only simply command the advance and retreat of the mist within a radius of ten thousand miles.

It still cannot control the source of the mist in the deepest part of the mountain range."

Zhou Yuxuan's words instantly extinguished the hope that had just ignited in Ancestor Zhou Wudi's heart once more.

He let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, "As expected. If a mere Sacred Artifact had such power, that would truly defy the heavens.

After all, the strange mist in the deepest part is something even an Emperor would fear somewhat!"

"However, being able to control the strange mist within a radius of ten thousand miles is already invincible. Moreover, this Soul Summoning Banner is a treasure that can grow. If one day in the future it grows into a Divine Artifact,

or even an Immortal Artifact, wouldn't exploring the Immortal Burying Mountain Range become possible at any time?"

Ancestor Zhou Wudi thought gleefully, then nodded at Zhou Yuxuan: "Hmm, being able to control the strange mist within ten thousand miles is already enough to keep you safe and worry-free in this mountain range."

Just as the two were conversing...

Suddenly, a figure came crashing down from the distant sky towards their direction.

"Thud!"

"Ah!!"

Immediately after, another figure arrived right behind.

"Heh! The new generation surpasses the old? Is this the Sword God of the new era? Too weak, far too weak!"

The newcomer was none other than Sword God Su, though his current state was far from good.

One of the arms and one of the legs, originally condensed from pure true essence, had been severed again. Moreover, his once neat clothes were now tattered and torn.

His hair was disheveled, and he bore several hideous wounds on his body, making him look utterly wretched.

The one who had just crashed to the ground was Zhao Chungang.

At this moment, his appearance was similar to Sword God Su's, though his injuries were clearly more severe. Furthermore, the Sacred Artifact Four Symbols Spirit Sword in his hand had been shattered to pieces.

Clearly, Zhao Chungang's defeat in the duel with the Sword God of the previous era was due to the difference in their weapons.

"Yo... Young Lord, I... I'm sorry! Old Zhao... did his best!!"

Zhao Chungang struggled to his feet, speaking with difficulty as he gasped for breath.

"It's fine, Old Zhao. To be able to injure this Human Emperor Palace Sword God to such an extent with that Sacred Artifact, your achievements in the Sword Dao are already commendable!

Right now, you lost because you didn't have a good sword!

Don't worry, I, your Young Lord, will seize that supreme treasure in his hand for you!"

Zhou Yuxuan said calmly.

Immediately after, Zhou Yuxuan looked up, unleashing a sharp, peerless aura imbued with the Profound Truth of world-creation towards Sword God Su.

"Such a familiar aura!" Sword God Su sensed this aura and thought to himself.

Seeing Sword God Su momentarily stunned, Zhou Yuxuan couldn't help but slowly speak up: "You old geezer, shameless! A dignified Sword God of the Human Emperor Palace, actually bullying the younger generation.

Instead of properly shouldering the responsibility of saving the world, you hide here clinging to life. You might as well find a deserted place and end it yourself!"

Zhou Yuxuan's words instantly made Sword God Su's eyes blaze with fury.

He, a Sword God of the Human Emperor Palace, was actually being lectured by a Junior?

Did he have no dignity? He—

"Junior, you're courting death!"

Zhou Yuxuan watched the enraged Sword God Su. He extended a hand, and the Primordial True Word Brush appeared in his grasp.

Immediately after, he poured half of his true essence into it, instantly drawing tens of thousands of mysterious runes in the Void Realm.

These runes interconnected, instantly forming a powerful trapping array.

Seeing that Sword God Su's escape route was cut off, Zhou Yuxuan put away the Primordial True Word Brush.

Then, he looked at Sword God Su with a provocative gaze.

"Heh! Want to kill me?"

"Watch me close the door and release the Old Ancestor!"
