The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 794: Chapter 794 Luo Shui Ancestor

Despair!

The warriors of the Ancient Family Camp could hardly suppress their feelings of despair.

Not long ago, the arrival of the Axe Demon Gu Wutian had sparked hope in their hearts. Now, that hope had been shattered.

They had thought that Axe Demon Gu Wutian would be able to slay Jing Yan and then return to help them annihilate the Glory Alliance completely. But instead of Axe Demon Gu Wutian, it was Jing Yan, the Alliance Hierarch of the Glory Alliance, who had returned.

What did this mean? It meant that Axe Demon Gu Wutian had been killed by Jing Yan! Did their Ancient Family Camp still have any hope?

Upon seeing Jing Yan, the people of the Glory Alliance were invigorated and felt reassured. Considering the current situation, even if Jing Yan did not take action, the warriors of the Ancient Family Camp would not last long. Within the day, they would surely be able to uproot the Gai Family’s influence in Flowing Light City. Even Gu Wanquan, the Ancient Family Ancestor, would have to die here.

Meanwhile, at the city’s edge, observing the situation on the battlefield, the Ancestors of the Six Great Families each had complex expressions and obediently shut their mouths.

Their emotions had truly been a rollercoaster. At first, they believed that Jing Yan’s Glory Alliance would not be able to defeat the Gai Family. Then, to their surprise, the Glory Alliance gained an absolute advantage, causing the Gai Family to suffer heavy losses. Later, when Axe Demon Gu Wutian returned, they once again thought that Jing Yan and the Glory Alliance were doomed to be destroyed. But now, after Axe Demon had fought with Jing Yan and had disappeared, Jing Yan had reappeared on the battlefield, unharmed.

Jing Yan gazed at the Gai Family Battle Formation.

”Break!” With a low shout, the word issued from his mouth.

Carrying a terrifying Sword Intent, the black Sword Light quietly appeared in the space, without any sound or Primordial Energy fluctuation.

The Sword Light approached the Battle Formation formed by the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners of the Gai Family.

”Pfft, pfft, pfft!”

As the Sword Light touched it, one after another, the Defensive Spiritual Artifact Energy Shields were destroyed. Each Energy Shield that was breached meant the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner it protected was subsequently slain.

A series of muted thuds were heard.

After a moment’s breath, when one looked again, over ten Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners from the Gai Family’s Battle Formation were conspicuously missing.

Back when the Holy Light Sword Technique hadn’t reached the Heavenly-level Martial Arts, Jing Yan’s full-strength sword strike could only destroy two or three Energy Shields of Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners. But now, he was directly destroying more than ten.

This clearly showed how terrifyingly Jing Yan’s strength had increased.

And witnessing this scene unfold, the warriors of the Ancient Family Camp felt even more despondent. They couldn’t fathom why Jing Yan’s strength had suddenly increased so much compared to before. Could it be that Jing Yan had not been using his full strength previously?

”We’re finished!”

”Gu Wanquan, we’re completely done for!”

”Haha... All of us who came to aid your Gai Family are going to die here.”

Most of the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners around Gu Wanquan had given up; they saw no opportunity left. Even if they attempted to escape recklessly now, it would be pointless. They had seen how fast Jing Yan could fly, suspecting that the moment their figures attempted to flee, Jing Yan would directly slay them.

”Buzz!”

Just at this moment, heaven and earth trembled!

The entire space underwent a noticeable change at this instant.

The clamor, the screams, all completely vanished. The world became terrifyingly silent.

The black Sword Light that had been traversing the space seemed to freeze in place. That region of space appeared to become incredibly viscous, and the black Sword Light struggled to break free within it.

The black Sword Light dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, like ice melting silently in the heat of a fire.

Suddenly, a slightly hunched figure in red appeared out of nowhere. It was a female elder, who stood there as if she merged with heaven and earth, dreamy and fantastical.

”This...” Jing Yan’s heart missed a beat, his eyes intently fixed on the figure in red.

The black Sword Light he had just released had now completely vanished without a trace. Around that area, only a faint trace of colored light remained, and even that was disappearing.

”I really did not expect that a youngster in his forties would force me to show myself!” The female elder in red looked at Jing Yan and shook her head gently.

At this time, no one spoke except for the red-dressed elder.

Everyone watched the figure that had appeared so abruptly. Within this domain, even time seemed to have stopped.

”Hidden for over four thousand years!”

”Giggle, it really is quite emotional.”

”Although I wished to remain hidden, if I don’t appear now... then this family will turn to ash. In any case, I cannot bear to see this happen!” The female elder in red mused to herself.

It was as if she was speaking to everyone, yet also seemed to be talking to herself.

”Luo Shui Ancestor, we greet you!” After the words of the red-dressed elder, Gu Wanquan bowed respectfully to her.

The appearance of the red-dressed elder surprised and shocked almost everyone present. However, Gu Wanquan showed no surprise, as if he had always been aware of her existence.

”It’s my fault!”

”I am useless, forcing Luo Shui Ancestor to appear.” Gu Wanquan bowed low, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and subtle exhilaration.

”It’s not your fault. It’s just that Jing Yan is truly extraordinary.”

”He’s not at the Saint Realm, but he’s condensed Divine Thought and realized Heavenly-level Martial Arts by himself. Although he can’t use the Laws, he has mastered exceedingly profound Sword Intent, harnessing part of the Law’s power.”

”Hehe, below the Saint Realm, this Jing Yan is probably the strongest fighter,” Luo Shui, the red-dressed elder, said dispassionately.

”Luo Shui Ancestor, it is likely that Gu Wutian has been killed by this little bastard,” Gu Wanquan said, casting an indignant glance at Jing Yan.

”Yes, Gu Wutian was very strong. I actually thought that he would be unbeatable among those below the Saint Realm. Unexpectedly, Jing Yan turned out to be even stronger than Gu Wutian,” Luo Shui Ancestor sighed again, softly shaking her head.

”You...”

”Are you Gu Luoshui?” The Great Hall Master of the Holy Hall, as if recalling something, went pale with astonishment as he spoke to Luo Shui Ancestor.

”Oh? Having been hidden for thousands of years, you still recognize me?” Luo Shui Ancestor looked towards the Great Hall Master, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

”This...” The Great Hall Master felt his scalp tingle.

Gu Luoshui?

Of course he knew that name. That name was recorded in some of the Ancient Classics that had been passed down; she was a formidable martial artist that existed even before the battle between Human Gods, a martial artist of the Saint Realm.

The Gai Family harks back to a history so ancient it precedes the battle of Human Gods. Gu Luoshui was one of the Creators of the Gai Family before that great war.
