"Hiss!"
Looking at the scene before them.
Ji Chen and the others gasped, feeling as if they were in a dreamlike illusion.
Just a moment ago, Yao Xue and her companions were mockingly ridiculing them, clamoring about wiping out the Human Race bloodline.
But who could have thought?
These seemingly invincible Celestial Prodigies turned into lifeless corpses in the blink of an eye.
Deceased, unable to close their eyes in peace!
In fact.
If Lu Yuan hadn’t taken special care, Ji Chen and the others might have been instantly stripped of all vitality upon seeing that Divine Sword.
Although this swordsmanship hails from a humble Three-Star Demon Martial World ultimate skill.
Yet, after Lu Yuan’s repeated perfecting and modifications, incorporating insights from multiple lifetimes of cultivation.
Its terrifying power even surpasses this realm’s Celestial Venerable ultimate skills by a notch!
Moreover, Lu Yuan previously comprehended the True Martial Celestial Venerable’s inheritance.
Not only did he finally perfect his mastery of the Five Elements Law, but also gained a deeper understanding of this realm’s Heaven and Earth Laws.
Thus, for him.
Slaying the Celestial Prodigies with a single sword was nothing worth boasting about.
Only when one day.
He can ascend to Heaven, executing the Celestial Court gods with a single stroke, will he truly honor the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword Technique’s renowned name.
With Yao Xue and the others’ demise, there’s no one left to hinder Lu Yuan’s advancement into the South Celestial Sect.
Yet before heading deeper into the Ancestral Court.
As a qualified Simulator, Lu Yuan hadn’t forgotten his good habit of looting the spoils of battle post-victory.
He walked among the Celestial Prodigies, carefully searching them for spoils, sweeping all weapons, magical treasures, jade talismans, and other items cleanly.
Only after thoroughly confirming that no treasures remained on them.
Did he casually cast a clump of True Sun Fire, reducing all the bodies to ashes.
"Let’s go."
Pocketing all the spoils, Lu Yuan led Ji Chen and the others towards the worn gateway.
The South Celestial Sect, once the indicator of past Ancestral Court, now lay in ruin.
Yet just as Lu Yuan and his group crossed the threshold, attempting to plunge deep into the Ancestral Court.
A heavy pressure suddenly descended from the heavens, akin to an unseen giant mountain bearing down on their shoulders.
Lu Yuan was relatively fine, only staggering slightly before regaining composure.
Previously, he had already comprehended the Power of Carrying Mountains from the Stone Turtle Tribe’s Qi Refining Technique, fusing the Five Elements Law and Stone Turtle Carrying Mountain Painting together.
Thus, facing this invisible pressure, he could still move freely.
However, the sisters Jiang Wan and Jiang Ya found each step a grueling ordeal, sweating heavily as they exhausted their strength.
"Sister, I don’t want to go on; should I wait for you here?"
Jiang Ya, still a ten-year-old girl, was panting and showing signs of exhaustion after just a few steps.
In truth, even Ji Chen, possessing the Human Emperor Divine Body, felt his legs as heavy as mighty weights, only managing to keep going through grit.
"Keep going; this place has great benefits for you."
Lu Yuan stared at Jiang Ya, eyes revealing a peculiar interest, as if discovering something new.
In fact.
As the direct descendants of the Human Race Celestial Emperor, Ji Chen, and the Great Wilderness Celestial Pride.
Whether in terms of bloodline or talent, they surpassed those Celestial Prodigies by a notch.
The reason their power seemed so frail was entirely because their bloodline had been heavily sealed by the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm.
As a result, Ji Chen and others couldn’t even exert one-thousandth of the Celestial Emperor bloodline’s power.
However, when Lu Yuan activated the True Martial Divine Eye, he discovered that upon stepping into this area, the Heavenly Dao Seal on them showed signs of loosening!
"Could it be that the Celestial Emperor’s Law here is countering the Heavenly Dao Seal?"
Lu Yuan’s eyes revealed enlightenment.
"Brother Lu was right; ever since entering this place, my Heavy Pupils have been reviving!"
Yu Qi expressed an exhilarated expression.
The Ancient Heavy Pupils once shocked the nine heavens and ten lands, yet by his generation, they had degraded to the point where even a mere exotic stone couldn’t be seen through.
This shook Yu Qi’s Dao heart, even leading to doubts about the Ancient Heavy Pupils’ power.
But now.
Divine patterns were emerging deep in his pupils, growing increasingly scalding, as if two fiery golden flames were burning brightly!
Ji Chen and the others, witnessing this, gritted their teeth anew to support, continuing their heavy march toward the Ancestral Court’s depths.
Half a day later.
Seeing everyone utterly spent, nearly collapsing to the ground.
"Crack!" Suddenly, as if some invisible chain had snapped.
Everyone felt a lightness upon them, experiencing an unprecedented ease and freedom!
"Sizzle!"
A blazing fire abruptly appeared on Jiang Wan and her sister’s bodies.
Feeling a pang of pain between their brows, as if being scorched by flames.
Yet simultaneously.
In the incredulous eyes of everyone, an intricate flame-like mark materialized between their brows!
This was clearly a complete Flame Emperor bloodline!
And not just them, Qing Yan too burst forth with a terrifying aura.
An Ancient Cyan Lotus bloomed proudly in the void, dyeing half the sky an azure hue!
Within a ten-mile radius.
On what was once barren wasteland, vegetation erupted rapidly, turning into a flourishing, vibrant forest in an instant.
Should I become the Cyan Emperor, I shall repay with peach blossoms bloom!
This is the true direct descendant of the Celestial Emperor!
Aside from this.
Ji Chen, Yu Qi, Jin Chuan, and other Celestial Emperor descendants, upon shattering the Heavenly Dao Seal, also triggered extraordinary phenomena.
Bright divine light soared into the sky from the depths of Yu Qi’s pupils, seeming to replace the sun, moon, and stars, becoming the sole entity between heaven and earth.
He opens his eyes to day, closes them to night.
