"This child is only five years old, yet his understanding of Sword Dao surpasses even that of the Celestial Sword Palace’s Sect Leader."
"This means he must be the reincarnation of some ancient monster!"
Compared to the jubilant Ji Chen and others, Yao Xue and the rest of the Celestial Pride were ashen with fear.
As the direct lineage of their respective forces, they were well aware of how terrifying those Great Powers of the Human Race were in ancient times.
If Lu Yuan truly is the reincarnation of a Human Race Great Power, and the Heavenly Dao remains oblivious to this fact,
the consequences could be so severe that the entire order of Heaven might be altered!
"It’s over..."
Yao Xue’s eyes were vacant, her longsword fell from her hands, and she collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud, seemingly drained of all Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Because she understood.
Since Lu Yuan dared to reveal his identity in front of everyone, it indicated that he had already decided from the start that he wouldn’t leave any survivors!
Yet, the other Celestial Pride were still somewhat reluctant, forcing a smile uglier than crying and pleaded with Lu Yuan.
"Senior, you are a Great Power of the Human Race, why bother with us juniors?"
"Is that so?"
"When you considered my Human Race as mere livestock, did you show any mercy?"
Lu Yuan sneered.
"Fight him to the death!"
"What Great Power of the Human Race? Just a remnant from ancient times."
"Even the Celestial Emperor of the Human Race fell to our ancestors, what’s there to fear about a mere ancient remnant!"
A Celestial Pride, driven to desperation, recklessly attempted to use a forbidden technique bestowed by their elders to perish together with Lu Yuan.
But they quickly became terrified, cold sweat pouring down, as their hands trembled uncontrollably.
No matter how they tried to invoke the Secret Technique, those forbidden methods were like stones sinking into the sea, with no response at all!
"It’s useless; had we been in the Ruins, these means might have worked."
"But within the Ancient Ancestral Court, the Human Race Sacred Land, protected by the Celestial Emperor’s Law, not even the Heavenly Dao can affect this place!"
The chubby boy in the gaudy robe laughed bitterly, his voice filled with desolation.
"Hunting geese all day, yet having our eyes pecked today, this time we admit defeat."
"But if you kill us, Heaven will not let this go, and even the Celestial Court will unleash their fury, sending Celestial Soldiers to annihilate this realm!"
"As long as you are willing to spare us, we can open our hearts and surrender our life and death to you, allowing you to plant a Divine Soul Mark."
"That way, we can collaborate inside and out, providing you with all sorts of vital intelligence and information."
Yet that chubby boy did not give up, attempting a final plea, trying to threaten and entice Lu Yuan.
"Sounds tempting."
The chubby boy noticed Lu Yuan wavering and was about to continue persuading him.
But the next moment, his eyes filled with horror, as if witnessing something utterly terrifying.
"Wait! What are you doing?!"
Under the terrified gaze of all the Celestial Pride.
Lu Yuan extended his hand, grasping the air.
And that Sword Qi Dragon howled to the sky, spiraling in the air before finally solidifying into a Supreme Divine Sword.
The Sword Qi stretched across three thousand miles, its radiance colder than nineteen provinces!
After many years.
The Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword Technique reappeared!
At the moment the Divine Sword manifested.
The pupils of all the Celestial Pride reflected a dazzling image of the Divine Sword.
Immediately after.
Their eyes became void of life, all vitality severed in an instant. With a plop, they fell to the ground, lifeless!
