Chapter 177: The Seal is Broken, the Ancestral Serpent Emerges!
"Whoosh!"
The Saint Heir of the Five Elements Sect, Gu Li, along with the other sects' Saint Heirs present, all made their moves and simultaneously attempted to extract twelve Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords.
In an instant, the twelve Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords finally loosened and were slowly pulled out by Gu Li and the others.
"Hahaha, as this Saint Heir anticipated, these ancient swords indeed require simultaneous extraction to be removed!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's not hold back our strength. Let's pull these ancient swords out together; the treasures here shall be shared among us!"
Upon seeing the divine swords loosen, Gu Li's face lit up with immense joy, and with everyone else, he pulled even more vigorously at the Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords.
Qinchuan observed all this with detachment, watching Gu Li and the others excitedly extract the Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords, a sneer of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Xi and the other two felt unease in their hearts.
"Brother Qin, are we just going to stand here and do nothing?"
Li Ran asked, his right eyelid twitching violently.
"What's the rush? Since the presence within Undying Mountain wishes to come forth, then we'll meet it soon enough,"
Qinchuan replied calmly.
He stayed here precisely to see just how capable that Primordial Ancestral Serpent within Undying Mountain really was!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
It was at this moment.
The twelve Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords were collectively pulled out by Gu Li and the others!
The Evil-Suppressing Talismans on the Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords ignited as soon as the swords were extracted.
The golden flames turned the Evil-Suppressing Talismans into ashes in an instant. Your journey continues with empire
The corroded signs of antiquity on the Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords also peeled away, revealing their inner radiance as the outer rust flaked off.
The divine swords were majestic, with divine light cascading like a waterfall!
"What a sword, hahaha! Although I am unsure of the level of these ancient swords, they appear so extraordinary; they are certainly rare treasures!"
The Saint Heir of the Five Elements Sect, Gu Li, was immediately filled with exhilaration, repeatedly inspecting the Evil-Suppressing Divine Sword in his hands with glowing eyes.
"Crackle!"
The other sects' Saint Heirs beside him also wore expressions of joy.
The Saint Heir of the Taiyan Sword Sect with the Formless Sword Body, Yi Jianyi, immediately tested the sword, swinging the Evil-Suppressing Divine Sword in his hand. With a mere stroke through the air, a terrifyingly sharp Sword Qi immediately shot out, neatly slicing a huge rock in the distance.
"The Sword Qi manifests on its own, revealing its sharp edge; such terrifying power!"
Yi Jianyi was utterly astounded, and then his heart throbbed wildly with excitement he couldn't contain.
He had merely wielded the sword casually, not even utilizing his True Qi, and yet it spontaneously emitted Sword Qi, cleanly cutting a distant boulder. It was indeed a divine weapon!
"With such a divine sword in hand, the world will surely have a place for me in the future!"
The various Saint Heirs were all ecstatic.
"Congratulations to the Saint Heirs for finding supreme treasures, blessed with immeasurable fortune!"
All the other disciples from the various sects, full of envy in their eyes, offered their congratulations one after another.
"Rumble!"
However, it was at this moment.
The ground beneath everyone trembled violently all of a sudden, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Soon after.
Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.
The entire Undying Mountain shook violently.
In the sky above, a terrifying phenomenon erupted.
A fearsome malevolent energy burst forth from beneath Undying Mountain, piercing through the sky!
"What's happening, what's going on?"
The sudden turn of events caused the disciples from all around to stagger unsteadily.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
```
The entire Undying Mountain was sent flying into the air.
The ground cracked.
A gigantic Abyss surfaced, swallowing up some of the disciples from various sects at the foot of the mountain.
"Ah..."
"Brother, save me..."
In an instant, those disciples who fell into the Abyss let out terrified screams, but their voices soon vanished, becoming inaudible.
"What's going on, what exactly happened, could it be true what that guy just said, that this place was actually suppressing an unprecedentedly fierce entity?!"
The remaining disciples from the various sects immediately turned pale, panicking and uneasy.
Gu Li and others, holding the Evil-Suppressing Divine Sword, also had an ominous feeling arise.
"Roar!"
A terrible roar came from underground.
Following that, a huge monster burst forth from beneath the ground.
This monster looked like a colossal serpent, but it was different, its body covered in crocodile-like scales, with a massive form that was akin to a mountain range.
Its two eyes were enormous, like two huge crimson lanterns, brimming with fierce light.
At its head, it had a red horn growing, but it was broken.
"A hundred thousand years..."
"For a full hundred thousand years..."
"This Ancestor has finally broken free, finally broken free..."
The Primordial Ancestral Serpent's body bore mottled scars, old wounds.
Its cold, cruel crimson eyes scanned the disciples before it: "Foolish and lowly humans, even though you helped this Ancestor break the seal, this Ancestor will still eat you!"
"This Ancestor loathes the Human Race, especially that person from the past!"
The hair-raising, hoarse, and evil voice of the Primordial Ancestral Serpent blasted out from its huge mouth, the sound like waves, throwing people about.
The terrifying breath emanating from its body caused those disciples from the various sects who were closer to explode into screams. Their physical bodies exploded, turning into handfuls of fresh Blood Mist.
"Hmm, if the bodies explode, there'll be no flesh to eat..."
The Primordial Ancestral Serpent's cold and cruel voice sounded, and it actually contained its terrifying breath, then opened its mouth wide at the remaining people, inhaling fiercely.
In an instant, a horrifying suction force swept over, and Gu Li and others could not stabilize their forms. Their bodies were swept up by the dreadful suction, rushing towards the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's gaping maw.
"No, don't!"
"Help me, someone save me..."
Gu Li, Yi Jianyi, and other Saint Heirs from the various sects also screamed in terror, their courage shattered.
They had never imagined that beneath the ground lay an unparalleled fierce entity as Qinchuan had said!
What's more, this fierce entity that had been suppressed for a hundred thousand years had not turned into dust and bones but was still alive in this world!
What kind of terrifying creature was this?
As they were sucked in by the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's breath, the strong suction gripping their bodies and pulling them towards that gaping mouth, they all turned ghastly pale, frantically swinging the Evil-Suppressing Divine Swords in their hands, sending out sharp Sword Qi towards the Primordial Ancestral Serpent, but to no avail.
They did not understand the mysteries of the Evil-Suppressing Divine Sword, nor did they have the powerful Cultivation Level needed to unleash the sword's power. The Sword Qi they sent out sparked against the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's body, not managing to even scratch it.
Seeing this scene, Gu Li and the others completely despaired but caught sight of Qinchuan and the others who were calmly fixed in place, seemingly undisturbed by the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's breath. Amidst their astonishment, they seized the last straw for salvation, frantically calling to Qinchuan for help.
"Save me, I am willing to offer the Divine Sword in my hand and follow you, save me—"
Gu Li and the others desperately called for help.
Down below, not far away.
Qinchuan stood tall, his body firm as if rooted in the ground, unyielding.
The suction from the Primordial Ancestral Serpent had no effect on his figure. Zhou Xi, Li Ran, and Wang Hao were also protected by his side.
In his palm, a small mountain hovered and bobbed.
It was the very Undying Mountain that the Primordial Ancestral Serpent had sent flying upon breaking free!
At that moment.
Zhou Xi, Li Ran, and Wang Hao, seeing the frightening and fierce monster before them, as well as the ghastly death of the various sect disciples, all turned deathly pale, their bodies nearly collapsing.
