“Unfortunately…”
The middle-aged man stood where he was and looked at the young girl who was standing in front of him. He couldn’t help but sigh and then said, “You shouldn’t have disobeyed me…”
“I just did what I should have done…”
In front of him, the young girl and the middle-aged man looked at each other. Their eyes were full of determination. They said, “Doing what you did, father, will only lead our Zhou Family to a hopeless situation.”
“Hopeless situation? What a joke!”
Hearing the young girl’s words, the middle-aged man sneered. His face was full of disdain. “Everything I’ve done will only make the Zhou Family more prosperous and walk to the next peak!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand. Following his actions, the ancient mirror phantom emitting divinity in front of him again emitted light. In the end, it directly broke away from the young girl’s control and reappeared in midair.
“What?”
Sensing that the ancient mirror had broken free from her connection, the girl’s expression finally changed.
“Yiu Ruo, your bloodline is indeed not bad, to the extent that you can influence the Ancestral Weapon and fight with me for control.”
Looking at the girl’s astonished expression, the middle-aged man’s expression was cold. He said indifferently, “But that was it.
“The ancestor has long acknowledged everything I’ve done.
“What can you do even if you want to disobey me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient mirror phantom in front of him shone with light. On the surface of the Sky Mirror, a beam of light shot up into the sky and rushed towards the outside world.
It was a resplendent divine light. Each light beam could easily kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, destroy a divine city, and destroy an entire world. And at this moment, under the full eruption of the Sky Mirror, that killing intent spread out in all directions, enveloping everything.
The middle-aged man didn’t have much killing intent toward his daughter. But towards those who assisted the young girl, such as Bai An, he wouldn’t let them off so easily.
Under the Sky Mirror, a terrifying divine light bloomed as if it wanted to collapse the void and cause this place to collapse directly. That kind of naked killing intent wasn’t concealed at all. It wanted to kill Bai An and the others here completely, leaving no traces behind.
Bai An and the others had no way to deal with this. They could only stand there and quietly wait for death.
Faced with such a scene, some people looked at the young girl by the side. Coincidentally, they saw that the young girl’s face was pale, and her aura had dropped to the extreme.
She was also affected by the Sky Mirror. Although she was not like Bai An and the others, facing the danger of death, she was equally terrified. Her divine power had already been suppressed. At this moment, she couldn’t move at all.
It was impossible to rely on her at this moment. Looking at this scene, Bai An sighed in his heart. Still, there was no despair in his heart.
“Looks like I have to rely on myself…”
When he had arrived at this place beforehand, he had already realized that this trip was most likely not as smooth as he had imagined. For this, he had already made corresponding preparations. Self-protection was not a problem.
However, it was only self-protection. It was very difficult to protect the young girl beside him or even bring her out together. Theoretically speaking, it was impossible.
After all, if Bai An were the only one to leave, the middle-aged man in front would probably not react. However, it would be very difficult if he wanted to bring the girl along.
The Earth Heavenly Weapon would most likely be aimed at him, locking onto him at all times. With his current strengths, he had no way to deal with the power of an Earth Heavenly Weapon.
Thinking carefully, he seemed to have only one method left.
“Let’s give it a try…”
Bai stood on the spot and sighed in his heart, and finally began his actions silently. Silently, he put away the long sword in his hand. Then, he took out something from his storage bag.
It was an ancient sword. The ancient sword was glazed in color, and there were faint golden threads in it. Although it looked ancient, it was also exquisite.
However, other than that, there was no reaction of Dao patterns or divine power on the surface of the ancient sword. It looked like an ordinary mortal weapon. There was nothing strange about it.
At this moment, Bai An gave up on his Heavenly Weapon and took out such an ancient sword. It looked very confusing. However, in front of him, the middle-aged man controlling the Sky Mirror had a drastic change in expression.
In front of him, endless light bloomed. On the Sky Mirror, an endless void appeared. There seemed to be black holes breathing in and out of Gen Qi. Every Breath’s time was exploding, and terrifying power bloomed.
But at this moment, the boundless light stopped, and the terrifying aura stopped.
Bang!
A crisp sound was heard. In Bai An’s hand, rays of light bloomed on the ancient sword at this moment. As if affected by the Sky Mirror, the ancient sword finally began to recover.
Rumble!
It was as if thunder rumbled and as if the world was wailing. A vast aura was displayed, surging out from it and spreading in all directions. Boundless runes surged out from the ancient sword, finally colliding head-on with the ancient mirror’s brilliance. The two collided.
Bang!
A sound akin to metal interweaving was emitted from this place. Invisibly, the two Heavenly Weapons seemed to start clashing.
Then, under everyone’s astonished gazes, the ancient mirror’s descending speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
The Sky Mirror was blocked!
“How can this be…”
Standing on the spot, the middle-aged man looked at the scene in front of him. He looked at the Sky Mirror that had suddenly stopped and could no longer move forward. His face could not help but reveal shock.
From the beginning until now, the situation in this place had always been in his hands. But now, the situation in front of him had truly exceeded his expectations.
Up ahead, the Sky Mirror was currently emitting a brilliant light. Numerous resplendent runes were flickering on it as it soared into the sky, flying towards it.
Those were the nomological runes engraved on the heavenly mirror. At this moment, they were madly flickering. If they were to land, it would be easy for them to crush an entire stretch of a void, causing the surrounding lands to tremble.
Rumble!
The heavens began to rage. As if sensing the current situation, the Sky Mirror in front of them began to tremble.
The illusory image of the Sky Mirror shone brightly. In the end, it turned into a beam of light that shone in all directions. It continued to charge downwards, wanting to kill everyone in this area.
Faced with this world-shaking power, Bai An, the young girl next to him, and the Zhou Family cultivators all felt a shock wave, and their scalps went numb.
The entire land trembled. Under their gazes, the Sky Mirror directly descended, smashing heavily onto Bai An.
Bang!
The sound of laws colliding spread out and then slowly spread out. At this moment, the void in all directions appeared, and space was shattered into nothingness by the shockwaves from the two divine weapons. The scene looked extremely chaotic.
The fragments of the space rippled and rose from all directions and landed in this place. At this moment, it looked terrifying. The fragments were all formed by the scattering of the shattered space.
If each fragment landed in the outside world, it would easily wipe out a city and flatten everything in all directions.
With such an attack, let alone an ordinary cultivator, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would die without a doubt. He couldn’t survive such an attack.
However, a shocking scene happened. In all directions, the fragments of space are scattered. The space was pierced through and turned into a void.
The ancient sword on Bai An’s body still stood still. However, the divine light on it became more and more vigorous, looking exceptionally resplendent.
This divine light was not blazing, nor was it as terrifying as the firmament mirror. It looked like a rising sun. It was gentle and warm, giving people a unique sense of calm.
But it was this seemingly ordinary divine light that blocked all attacks from the outside world. The ancient sword’s light did not waver no matter how blazing the Sky Mirror’s light was. The ancient sword’s light did not waver. It easily suppressed it, preventing it from spreading to the surroundings and harming Bai An, who was behind the ancient sword.
Hiss…
A gasp of cold air was heard. At this moment, everyone looked at the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand, and their eyes changed.
“Even the full-power strike of the Sky Mirror can’t break through the defense of that divine weapon?”
In front, the middle-aged man’s eyes completely changed. At this time, he could no longer look at the ancient sword with the confidence he had before.
The power of the Sky Mirror was displayed. Although it was not the original body of the Sky Mirror and was just a shadow that was brought over, under the support of the surrounding cultivators, it was also seventy percent of the original body’s power.
Judging from the situation just now, even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator would not be able to escape from that attack. They would be crushed to pieces.
However, the ancient sword blocked it. Not only did it block it, but it also seemed to be very easy. It did not take much effort at all.
Such a terrifying scene was terrifying.
“Could this be… Another Earth Heavenly weapon?”
Looking at the ancient sword in Bai An’s hand, this thought flashed through many people’s minds. However, in reality, even Bai himself was surprised.
He knew that the ancient sword was extraordinary, and part of the ancient sword’s power. He knew that this ancient sword was not as simple as it looked.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, he did not expect that the ancient sword could achieve such a level.
The Sky Mirror was an Earth Heavenly Weapon. Earth Heavenly Weapons were Heavenly Weapons that only Heavenly Venerables could wield. The rank that they represented was already at the top of all Heavenly Weapons, and no one could surpass them.
For such an existence, what else could stop them unless they were also Earth Heavenly Weapons?
For the ancient sword to achieve all of this, could it really be like what the surrounding people thought, that it was an Earth Heavenly Weapon? At this moment, Bai An could not help but have this thought.
“Family leader!”
At the side, a Zhou Family elder immediately became excited. He walked to the front of the middle-aged man and looked at the ancient sword on Bai An’s body. His face was excited, “This is a joyous matter!”
“Our Zhou Family will have a second legacy weapon by killing this person and seizing his Heavenly Weapon!”
